" You really won't give me any clear information, won't you ? .
I already told you before, there are some things that I can't tell you in details about, most of those questions of yours just happen to be linked to those things, once again I'm sorry but it just can't be helped, i hope you understand .
I was disappointed at that and thought that it was meaningless to ask that guy about anything else, since he will just find a way to be vague about it again, I also felt that he didn't need to say much more, from his previous words, I was able to understand and conclude a few things .
Whatever his status were back in the family, he is most likely frowned upon by a lot of people, who is more frowned upon between the two of us, I'm not sure, but I feel that I would be the one to win this sort of competition, not that it is to my liking, but I really couldn't imagine them frowning upon him as they do with him, no matter what, there would be still the fact that he was still a member of the family, unlike me .
Ironically, now that I thought about it, I can't help acknowledge that I maybe frowned upon by both of the two parties that I'm supposedly connected to, both the higher-ups in the military and probably all the higher-ups in the Yotsuba Family share the same attitude towards me, how laughable .
At recognizing this fact, I couldn't help but dryly laugh to myself, for some reason I was also beginning to believe that Tatsyua if that was truly his name, was pretty much in similar situation to mine, him mentioning just now that he had a little sister made that thought more and more believable me .
I also couldn't help but marvel a little at the fact that me and his sister share the same birthday, but unlike her I wasn't birthed, I was created then got an identity, at this thought I couldn't help but ask the guy sitting beside me, I said :
" Do you know when Big Bro.., when the original Ryuu was born, like the actual date of his birth ? .
He shook his head at me and said :
Believe it or not, till I first met you, I had no clue about his existence, even the tombstone of him was removed by the order of the family head, I believe there is no more need for me to say about what happened to the information related to him as well, so no I have no answer to this question of yours, but someone might have, that person is the same person who you are about to meet, so if that really mattered to you this much, waiting patiently might be the best course of action at the moment .
I once again felt that offensive tone in his voice, even though he spoke to me more than before and said a lot of things, it seemed that he wasn't interested in talking much with me, or maybe he was just acting that way, I still can't tell, but one thing was certain about that guy in front of me, he too had something happening to him that caused him to have a lack of emotions or his ability to show even a little bit of empathy .
I also was taken aback at the discovery of Big Brother Ryuu tombstone being removed and all of the information regarding him shared the same fate as well, at this point in time, it didn't really matter much whether these things still existed or not, but it still left a bad taste in my mouth after knowing this .
The silence once again engulfed this part of the plane, I really was wondering what that person looked like and what might her reaction be after seeing me and what might my own reaction be as well, will she embrace me, it's difficult to imagine that powerful image I had of her in mind after what I heard from the doctor and saw in the faces of the researches back at the facility, it was difficult to imagin such a character, do something so sentimental, I guess .
Some parts of me still yearned for that embrace, but it was still unclear whether will she even accept me or not, so for now it was easy for me to rebury that yearning of mine .
What ever her reaction might be, I will still convey the last message Big Brother Ryuu gave me to tell her, whatever her reaction be that is completely up to her, I exhaled a long breath of air and sat more comfortably in my seat, I saw Tatsyua fiddling with the tablet in his hand, seemed to be struggling with something, the moment he sensed me looking at the tablet, he directly turned it off .
I shook my head at that, if not for the information about human interactions in my mind, i might have gotten angry, so it really didn't matter to me much, but seeing that he seemed for the first time a bit bothered by something, I couldn't help but laugh a little, i thought that would offend him, but instead he seemed to have a faint smile on his face, then it disappeared, I stopped smiling and said :
" I can help you to get them back, if you want .
He looked at me with an expressionless face and said more sternly than before :
Get what back ? .
" Your emotions I mean,I can help you get them back if that what you want .
Surprisingly he shook his head and put his hand on his heart and said :
I already have all the emotions that I need to have, but thanks for your offer, but I would be lying if I were to say that I'm not interested in knowing how you have been able to do so, so if you care to show me, I will be grateful .
So he was interested in knowing how Fabrication work, that was easy to grant, I conjured a beautiful blue yellow butterfly and allowed it to land gracefully on his hand, he looked at me with a bit of shock on his face, he was able to touch and feel the existence of the butterfly on top of his hand .
He looked at it more intently and I was able to tell that he was analyzing the structure of it, he suddenly pulled a pistol from his waist and then tried to shoot at the butterfly, he fired the shot, but I can tell that the Psion Wave he launched was a bit unique, I wasn't able to understand its effect and that was the first time, I wasn't able to read the sequence of a spell, the sequence was still recorded in my unconscious, but until I'm able to understand what its uses were, I'm for the time being unable to do much with it .
It seem that I wasn't the only one surprised at the scene unfolding, after he shot the butterfly, it glitched a little, but it didn't disappear, it flow from his hand and stood at my hand, he widened his eyes at this and then fell into deep thought .
I wonder what was he thinking about, but seeing him fell into a deep thought, I too began to contemplate on the weird sequence on my mind, I tried to discern its nature and uses, I kept trying to dissect it to smaller parts, then to even more smaller parts, but there was no progress, this sequence was unique and unlike anyone that I saw before .
The only bit of similarity I was able to found after deep thinking about it, but that similarity left me a bit baffled, the sequence actually seemed to have a connection with my Black Hole superpower, they both held a unique signature to their sequence, meaning that the shot he just tried to finish the butterfly with used a superpower .
That discovery shocked me a bit, I know that I'm not the only person that might have a superpower, but I couldn't believe that the guy in front of me had two unique superpowers to him, not one but two .
If that guess of mine was correct, then he also had a superpower related to his ability to read sequences and maybe similar to mine even .
So that what was going on .
He suddenly said this and caught my attention, seeing me looking at him, he seem to be explaining absent-mindedly, saying :
You had other superpower than the one linked to your vision, no I believe that you have at least two more superpowers, the unique magic you used to create that butterfly should be another superpower, so that make the total number of superpowers you have to be 3 superpowers, you used two of your superpowers on creating that butterfly just now didn't you .
I marveled a little at his analysis, then nodded my head and said with a smile :
" Do you want to know how many superpowers I have ? .
He looked at speechless for a few seconds, even though his expression didn't falter much, I'm completely certain that he was surprised by me asking him this question, he didn't reply at first but then fixed his seat position towards mine and I did the same then he said with a contemplating tone :
Why would you be willing to share such details with me, this is one of the things that you don't want to share with an enemy or even someone you know quite well, not to mention a person that you have only met 6 or 7 times like myself .
He indeed had a point, but even if I were to tell him about my superpowers, he would still be unable to do much about them, I don't want to share the knowledge I have on my superpowers with him for nothing, I too was quite interested in understanding the nature of his superpowers as well, that was why I asked in such a fashion, the sequence I just acquired from him just now agitated my curiosity .
Seeing him like this, I decided to come clear with him and I said :
" Well, the short answer is that I'm quite interested in that Magic Sequence you launched from that magical pistol of yours, so I'm willing to share mine of you are willing to share yours, is there a problem with that ..
He seemed to be weighting the words I was saying in his mind after a few seconds, he said :
Well, I can agree to do that, but how would we know if we were telling the truth to one another .
" I had no idea how to do so, if you have any please share it with me, as for what do if there was no way to tell, easy, I guess we will just have to trust one another .
At my words, he quirked his eyebrows at me and squinted his eyes and looked at me intently as if trying to see through me or something like that, but after a few more seconds, he let out a sigh and nodded his head at me, indication that he agreed to my proposition, but he didn't utter a word and kept looking at me .
I wryly smiled and understood what he was trying to say by his actions, since I were the one who suggested it, it meant that I will be the first to go, I said :
" I have 5 superpowers magics, they are ( Spatial Eyes, Black Hole, PSIONIC Nuclear Reactor, Infinity and lastly I acquired Fabrication ), do you wish for me to go in details about what each of those superpowers does ? .
I saw that he widened his eyes at me and was looking at me so intently and with so much focus that I repeated that question for him 5 times, before he was finally responding to me .
He shook his head at my inquiry and seemed to have fallen once again into a deep thought, but he soon woke up from his contemplating state and said :
I have 2 superpowers magics as you called it, the first is called Elemental Sight and the second one is called Decomposition, the latter was the one that I tried to use just now against that butterfly of yours, you could have asked directly and I could have answered you, that was the reason to all of this, am I wrong ? .
Seeing that I was busted, I said :
" Well, I had enough vague answer for today thanks to you, so I figured that I at least change some valuable information with you for the information you have .
It's a good plan, but didn't you think for even a second here that I might still be lying to you .
His question was indeed a good question, I really didn't read that much deep into it, I was just trying to confirm the conclusion that I had already formed about that magic sequence, so even if he was lying to me, it probably wouldn't have matter much .
" Well, I might as well ask you to check, did you lie to me just now regarding those superpowers ? .
He actually didn't respond to my question and just stared at me and smiled, I soon followed and smiled back at him and said :
" This is an enough proof to me that you didn't, if you did, then I guess I can only blame myself for judging people wrongly, but I can't help but wonder, why didn't you suspect that I might be lying as well just now and since you were already aware of my goal, why did you indulge in this conversation with me .
With his faint smile he said borrowing my own words and saying them back to me, saying :
Well, if that were to have had happened, I would probably do the same and attribute my losses to misjudging you as well, as for why I indulged with you in this conversation, the answer was quite simple actually, I was confirming that I just indeed hadn't misjudged you .
This time it was my turn to be confused, I looked at him completely bewildered at what he was saying, but luckily it seemed that he didn't want to leave me confused, he said :
Well, to tell you the truth, I already had an idea about two or three of those superpowers of yours, the Major General should have told you about the fact that the facility you were in, was already hacked, so most of the data on you was already collected, before they had probably executed all of thes information now, so my question was just testing whether will you be telling the truth or not and from that I will be able to understand your nature and concur that I was indeed right about you .
It sounded like I was being praised, but coming from his mouth, I was not happy about it much, maybe a little bit, but seeing that we were now more open to one another, I couldn't help but ask him a question that I hadn't had a clue will risk to change the atmosphere in the plane so severely, I said :
" WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON EXACTLY, THE YOTSUBA FAMILY OR THE ARMY'S SIDE ? .
