They are monsters and yet at the sa ti human.
Crack, crack and crack.
The sound of bones being crushed is the only thing that fills the empty space.
The two twins could no longer be recognized.
"But we are supposed to open our eyes to that. To live with strength that is far above the rest, soone who can't do that is not human."
"Mission complete." She took one last glance at the two lifeless bodies before walking away.
….
Sumire isn't expecting to see him; although she had dropped so hints where she would be today. She didn't think that he would actually bother waiting for her. Yet once again that person does things that are completely unexpected and out of the range of her expectations. Indeed there he was, leaning against the wall with a spaced out looking expression on his face. Cigarette in hands as he lit it. Sumire spotted other cigarettes by his feet and paused.
How long has he waited?
She did not think that she took too long but then again it is not like she has a watch to confirm that.
"Finished early today I see."
Huh? That's---how does he know? Unless he has kept track this entire ti? "Why.." Sumire had to stop because she felt so overwheld with everything.
"Hm?"
"Why are you here again?"
He reached over and placed his hand on her face causing her cheeks to turn red, "H--hold --on I'm asking you sothing serious here."
"Yeah, and I'm giving you my answer. It's obviously because I want to see you."
"We can see each other anyti."
"Yeah? Maybe it's because it's too good of an opportunity for to pass out on walking ho a bespectacled beauty."
Moron, they are heading to the sa place. But, she spies his expression. Even though he said it like that he's probably just worried about her, he's always been this kind of person after all. Doing everything indirectly like this, back then and even now. Yet right now they are both adults, there's a different feeling now in contrast to before. "Then shall we go?"
She blinked once she saw him extend his hand and yet her gaze softened as she accepted it. "Yeah."
"But really, I do have to confirm exactly how long do you wait? I'll start feeling bad if you're there for hours."
She didn't tell him what ti she would be finishing. Just when she would be leaving - and that was over a few hours ago. "What do you think? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would wait up for a bespectacled beauty because I want her to try on the new glasses I bought?"
"Creepy. Senpai, your fetishes are really strange af---" she was cut off when she felt the warmth of his lips on hers. "W--what was that for?"
"You called 'senpai', I already said it would be fine for you to use my first na."
Even if he says that, unless they are in the palace grounds - she really doesn't have any confidence in using his na easily, "It's a habit..and it makes feel at ease." It makes her feel comfortable, by calling him senpai. Even if it's just for a short while they can return back to those tis before.
Whether or not he understood what she thought, he reached over and brushed his hands on her brunette locks.
"Yeah, too."
This person is sneaky and sly. She gives up, winning against him is completely impossible. Truly, how unpleasant. Back then she could still play around and lead him along but now it is the opposite. She is the one who ends up blushing madly like a fool.
"By the way I'll warn you now. Jae knocked over your shelf when he went inside your room thinking you were there and one of your bookstore."
Ah… "The one that stuck out?"
Yuhi nodded, "That's the one. Don't worry, I'll make sure the idiot gets you a replacent."
Sumire shook her head, "It's alright, it's quite an old book anyway. It was bound to break eventually."
"King 'Arthur' I didn't think you had an interest in the dieval ages."
A smile appears on her face, "Are you curious?"
"I feel like I'll be dancing around your palm if I answer. But yeah I am curious."
Oh, they were thinking the sa thing. Sumire finds herself laughing, really how amusing, "I have yet to hear anything and you're already laughing at ."
"Mm sorry. Now then about the book? It's actually one of my favourites. Arthur was the first born son of King Uther Pendragon and heir to the throne. However these were very troubled tis and rlin, a wise magician, advised that the baby Arthur should be raised in a secret place and that none should know his true identity.
As rlin feared, when King Uther died there was great conflict over who should be the next king. Of course all the contenders for the throne took their turn at trying to draw the sword, but none could succeed. Arthur, quite by chance, withdrew the sword for another to use in a tournant. Following this he beca King.
He gathered the Knights around him and fought back against the Saxons who. After winning many battles at Mount Badon the Saxons' advance was halted. Arthur's base was at a place called Calot. Here he built a strong castle. His knights t at a Round Table. They carried out acts of chivalry such as rescuing damsels in distress and fought against strange beasts.
Under the guidance of his teacher, Arthur had obtained a magical sword from The Lady Of The Lake. This sword was called 'Excalibur' and with this weapon he defeated many foes.
Unfortunately, as peace settled over the country things turned sour within the court of Calot and civil war broke out. In the final battle at Camlan both Arthur and Mordred, Arthur's traitorous nephew, were mortally wounded. Arthur was set upon a boat and floated down river to the isle of Avalon. Here his wounds were treated by three mysterious maidens. His body was never found and many say that he rests under a hill with all his knights - ready to ride forth and save the country again."Sumire explained.
"A mysterious tragedy. Yeah, now that makes more sense."
