I was so hot myself that I wondered what the hell was going on—how did I change this much? Overall, it's only been a year.
Well, what matters is that, before I was going out to meet the others in the front room.
They were making Kai look cool using his hair and using a Sakura Kanzashi stick for hair, styling his bandage with a layer of light purple color and a chain on it.
Then they added a bandage roll on his head first, some diamonds and a chain.
After that, a one-half chain on his earring.
He was wearing a full sleeve round-neck navy color shirt and a long coat, and kinda like harem pants.
The others looked good as well, but they are excluded—they already have a partner. We two must get one.
That's all they seemed to talk about. But we both had something in mind.
"Hey Kai, let's shine out there," Kazuki said.
"It's already been half an hour," he added.
Then we said, "Now we can go," and Kai used his power and broke and smashed the reality like paper and opened it.
Everyone else was shocked.
Before us, everyone arrived with their carriage, treated like celebrities.
And then this happened—the reality smashed and out of it, a mini wall-like castle appeared and we entered.
Then, when we reached around 10 meters from the ground, a huge stair build-up appeared.
Kazuki walked on it, then Noa, then Zephyr, and then Kai, and finally me.
Kazuki walked and then he offered his left hand as if he was gonna dance with her, and she took his hand and they walked.
Then Zephyr walked down and the princess came, so he took her hand and walked straight.
Me and Kai, broo, that's no fun. Just free lad delinquents walking. And then Kai was murmuring, "What sh
ould I do? What should I do? Should I just go talk with Ebisu (Delta) here or should I just say hey, it's been a while?
I can't think of any way to talk to her tho."
I used my long-waited and my first skill. I used telepathy and said to him, "Don't worry, it's okay. I'm here for you."
He said, "What? Wait, did my headset stop working? No way."
Then I said, "It's me, Delta, you dumb."
He said, "Wait, you can use telepathy?!"
I said, "Surprise."
He said, "Wow man, that's so cool," and we continued walking.
He said, "What should I do?"
I said, "Listen, just do what you would do normally without thinking you like her or ideas like that."
Then he said, "Obviously I will just ignore her even if she says anything."
Then I said, "Then do that, bruh. That's good for her."
Then the Verdantia baddies—those three—were watching us, especially Lyra and Talia.
We walked into our dorms and, surprisingly enough, we all boys have the same room: me, Zephyr, Kai, and Kazuki.
With another surprise: it's Jian Yu. Jian from the 8s.
The lovebird with Mei is here, so we need to be very careful for him not to know about me.
Then we got in and began to play games, and we played for 5 hours straight.
We put on the long coat and wore whatever else we wore and got out for food.
We ate some food and got back. The cafeteria of the school was super amazing. Then we got back to the dorm and continued playing our ass off.
Then the blanket started and Zephyr called us too many times.
After that we said, "Should we go?" We both, being lazy legends, said yeah. We skipped.
Everyone eventually began to take circle sits.
Zephyr said, "You guys are making us three feel embarrassed about you guys. Just come over here fast."
I said, "Broo this kid is annoying as hell."
Kai said, "Won't we have to go to where the girls are? Are we really gonna be okay?"
I said, "You bet, broo. I'm just gonna be there. Let's see what they're gonna do, because next time it will be them who will be shy and all."
Kai said, "Man, that has been my goal. Let's go broo," and we wore ...
Our outfit was on point. We walked like we owned the place—coats on our shoulders, just like anti-heroes. As we entered, students began to murmur.
"Let's sit alone," he said.
Just as we were about to sit, Zephyr called us over. We both locked eyes with Lyra and Talia, then walked slowly and casually.
"Good evening," I said.
"Yeah, sup gang," he replied and sat in a side lean.
Zephyr then said, "It's been a while, right, Talia?"
Talia, while touching her hair and mentally preparing herself, said, "I guess so. It's been a while."
Broski played it smart. "Hey there, Talia. Never thought you would remember."
She replied, "Maybe you're right, but you've changed way too much since last time."
"Wait... have we met after the last blanket?"
"No, actually, I saw you. I tried to reach out to make sure it was you, but you were so busy with gangs and overwhelmed, I thought I'd be bothering you. So, I left."
"Nah, it would've been good if you had talked to me."
"Yeah, I regret it now."
Then one of the baddies from the Verdantia trio, Roxy, asked, "So, by any chance, are you single?"
I replied, "Let's leave him alone. He must have wanted to talk to her back then."
Then I shifted. "Well, I'm on the plate with a washed dish and prepared food."
She smirked. "How much do you think you cost?"
"Money's not the problem. It's who's gonna eat me up, huh?"
She stared at me intensely, then laughed.
Lyra said, "I kinda like your smile."
"Thanks. And I guess your name is Lyra?"
"You know my name?"
"Who doesn't? You guys post a lot of videos. Not to mention, I'm a big fan."
Roxy grinned. "Then who's your favorite?"
"Well, who's your favorite in our group? Then I'll tell you mine."
"You're a smart fella, aren't you?"
"You're a hot dishwasher."
She laughed hard. "Wait, what? You're the food and I'm the dishwasher?"
"That's only if you want it to be."
Then I saw Jian and Mei out on the balcony.
"Sorry, gotta go."
Kai said in my head, "Where the hell are you going?"
"Nah, I'm still here telepathically. Don't worry."
"Better not mess with me."
"I'm not gonna mess with ya, bro."
I walked out. "Yooo, it's been a while, lovebirds."
"Woohoo, you came back alive!" Mei and Jian laughed.
"So, you knew about me?"
Jian said, "Everyone has a unique Qi/Ki energy. Yours hasn't changed. That's rare."
"So, you think I came to check on Lyra?"
"Yeah. Until the Operator dies, you're staying here, right?"
"Exactly."
"Good for you. At least you get to see her."
"Does she even consider me alive?"
