After he got what he needed, he went back to his tent. But in the way, he suddenly saw a young lady. She had long red hair with a beautiful hairpin on her hair. Every step she took was elegant. It seed that she was a young miss from a prominent family.
Her graceful body was slowly illuminated by the moonlight. She wore a one-piece white dress instead of a military uniform.
Kai didn't know why, but he felt he had seen her in the past. That was what his instinct told him, but he couldn't recall when he did or who she was.
Noticing his presence, she turned back and saw Kai with a surprised look. When Kai saw her, he finally recognized who she was. She was the student council president, Yajima Haruko. The thought that he had seen her in the past suddenly vanished.
"Isn't it Kai Carter? What are you doing here at this ti?" she smiled and asked.
"Just visited my sister," Kai casually answered.
"Is that so? She must be worried about you since you got attacked by magical beasts."
"Yeah." Kai simply responded.
"Anyway, are you going back to your tent?" she asked.
"That's what I'm planning to do." Kai nodded.
"Kai Car… Kai, I can call you this, right?"
"Feel free. You're my senior, so I think it is fine."
Haruko didn't know why, but she felt frustrated when she saw Kai act so casually.
"Do you want to join the student council? I an, you'll be with your sister more often." She added inwardly, 'You'll also be with more often if you join…'
"I don't think I'm suited to be a part of the student council. I chose to beco a student of the magical academy just to rack up so achievents so I can lead a normal life." Kai shook his head.
"Is that so… you really haven't changed…" she unconsciously murmured.
"Haven't changed?" Kai looked at her in confusion.
"Ah, I an, it's like your sister said. You just want to live leisurely without thinking about any problems," she imdiately corrected herself while sweating.
"Yeah. I know that we need to kill magical beasts to rule the world once again, but I don't think I have that kind of dream. I sotis think, if humanity manages to rule the Earth once again, what will this planet beco like in the future…" he said while looking at the bright moon and stars in the dark sky.
"What do you an?"
"Many articles said the Earth was horrible back then. Humanity damaged the Earth and overused resources like oil and gas, making pollution everywhere. The ice on the poles started lting, and the ocean rose. Then there were also climate changes, extre weather, and such…
"We can't even see the moon and stars shining brightly like this in a busy town. I'm not a romanticist, but it's truly relaxing just to lie down on the ground and see the moon and stars without thinking of any problems." Kai explained while appreciating the moon and stars.
"Yeah. I've read sothing like that. I heard back then, people love to climb the mountain and lie down to see the moon and stars. Imagining it makes my mind relax. As for how horrible this planet was back then, I think it won't be a problem anymore since we can use magic power to replace those energy supplies." Haruko smiled.
"Yeah. I know that…" Kai closed his eyes.
"If you want to live that way, how about becoming my husband? You can live leisurely and get three als a day plus snacks. You can even skip bathing and just relax," she said with a teasing smile.
Looking at that smile, Kai shook his head. "Please don't joke about that. Although I look like soone who doesn't have any motivation, I still have my pride and rules."
"Of course. I heard you're very protective concerning your family…" She chuckled. "Anyway, the student council can help you with that if you join the student council. With the help of the student council, you can easily enter the army as soon as you graduate from Genesis Magical Academy.
"After being in service for humanity for a few years, I think you'll be able to retire and enjoy the rest of your life. I can say this because I've seen your ability. So, how about it? Are you interested in joining?"
"Are you a saleswoman or sothing?" Kai asked, "Ah, I don't an to be rude though."
"Hahaha… I'm still a young lady from a big house, you know. This is one of the skills I need to learn." She smiled, knowing that Kai was only joking.
"I'll still pass. I have a feeling that I'll have a ton of burdens if I beco a part of the student council." Kai said.
"Then, how about we exchange our contact details? You can contact if you're interested in the future." She smiled as she took out her personal device.
Kai didn't really mind exchanging contacts with her since his sister was also a part of the student council. He also rembered that she might use her family influence to pressure the Katsuragi family, which might be useful.
After doing the sa thing Shirotsuka Sanae did, she gave his device back.
"Then, I need to go back now," Kai said.
"Yes. Good night."
"Good night." Kai nodded and left.
Looking at his back, she sighed. "You truly don't rember … I guess I'll be the one to approach you… Well, I have your contact now, so I can talk with you anyti."
She made a disappointed smile before closing her eyes. She was reminiscing about the scene where she t Kai for the first ti.
It was around a decade ago when Kai's family had yet to adopt Tasha. Kai was six years old at that ti, but because of his hearing, he had matured earlier than average children since he could hear many things.
Because of her family matter, she almost got kidnapped by the opposing family. At that ti, Kai suddenly appeared in front of her and took her sowhere. He led her from one place to another until they finally lost their pursuers.
Kai helped her with his extraordinary hearing, so they could flee from the kidnappers. His appearance was like a fairytale prince's.
After losing their pursuers, Kai took her to the park to chill down. There was another person that seed to be waiting for Kai. She had the sa age as him with beautiful blonde hair. Her blue crystal eyes socketed beautifully that one would think she would be a charr in the future.
As soon as she noticed Kai, she walked toward him. "Kai, where did you go?"
"Sorry. I just did my job like we promised." Kai smiled.
"Promise? You an becoming a hero?"
"Yes. A hero is not soone who will only save humanity from magical beasts, but also bad people. Look, I helped her from people that chased her," he said with a big smile.
"Mhm…" She looked at the red-haired young girl behind him. She appeared to be a year or two years older than they were.
"Nice to et you. I'm Michelle, and this is Kai. We just had our sixth birthday a month ago. Do you know why they chased you? If you know them, then I'll need to hit this guy since he made a mistake by bringing you here," Michelle said.
"No, no. My parents said they're bad people, and because of my family business, our two families are in a fight or sothing.
"I was going ho with my butlers… but we were attacked, and my butler left to fight them. A few of them managed to get past him and chased , so I ran. It was then that I t Kai. He helped earlier, so don't hit him," she explained.
"Well, if that's the case, then I won't do anything." Michelle smiled. "What's your na? You're older than us, right?"
"I'm… Sakura, 8 years old." She didn't say her real na was to protect them too. If they were involved any more than this, she was afraid she would drag her prince in this ss.
"So you're two years older than us. Well, we're on a family trip, so we'll be gone in the next few days. But having known you is also not too bad." Michelle chuckled.
She sighed, envious of her free lifestyle. She also wanted to play like them too, and if she weren't in this situation, she would love to know them better and beco their friend. "Why do I need to deal with this…
"I just want to play around, live to the fullest, marry soone who can protect like Kai. Then we'll live leisurely without thinking about any problems like this.
"I'm content with a small family. Their lifestyle is free and happy. I just want to live like that..." She said, lanting.
"Haha… What a nice dream to have… But we're going to fight magical beasts and bad people. After that, maybe live together with Kai." Michelle said with her children's imagination.
"Eh?" Kai was surprised to hear she wanted to live together with him.
"What? Do you have sothing to say?"
"No…" Kai looked away.
"I want that too…" Haruko suddenly said.
"What? But you said you want to live peacefully…" Michelle said.
"No no… I an living together with Kai… Kai looks like a fairytale prince…" she said with stars in her eyes.
