I sit in the corner of the cafeteria with quite the number of people staring at as I wolf down the large volus of food in front of . And despite their attempts to stay quiet, I hear plenty of the conversations around .
How does she stay so thin despite eating that much?! Is she a bottomless pit or sothing? Was she starving for days?
I ignore the comnts at first, but then so more join in, answering the question for the others.
I heard she uses blood magic. Oh, if thats the case then it makes sense. Yeah.
Thats all the convincing it took? Is that really why Ive been so hungry since becoming a Guardian?
Part of it at least. Its also because youre half blood lycan, Tar answers my question. So blood magic spells use the users blood in the process, so the users end up needing to eat a lot. And lycans in general have a fast tabolism.
Oh. Okay.
Kind of annoying though, since Im not much of a fan of eating in general.
Oh really? Why is that? Tar asks as I continue eating, thankful that the people around arent talking about much anymore. Except the new arrivals that is.
Its because its a waste of ti. Instead of eating, I could be working on sothing. But nope. I have to spend ti from my days eating.
But you wasted ti showering and even going outside to stare at the moo- Tar begins, only to be cut off by my thoughts.
No. Thats not wasting ti. Thats what I want to do. So its not a waste. But eating isnt sothing I want to do, so its a waste.
Tar goes quiet as I feel waves of confusion running through whatever strange bond we have going on.
Dont try too hard to think about it. Belle, Allen, and Arthur all gave up long ago on trying to figure out.
My internal conversation with the tanuki is interrupted when I hear soone approaching through my wolf ears, making turn to find Michael, Denise, and Emily approaching with trays of food. And they each look surprised when they find turning towards them, likely not having expected to know of their approach or sothing.
Would it be alright if we sat with you? Michael asks politely while indicating the other seats on this circular table.
I just shrug with a Sure, and return to eating my food with gusto.
They each sit down, with the two siblings sitting next to each other and Denise sitting on my left with Michael on my right. And I quickly spot them sending a strange glance towards my food only to ignore it as they begin eating their own much smaller assortnts of food.
None of us talk for several minutes, but after I finally move on to my last dish, Michael speaks up.
I heard you were accepted into Lions Heart?
I glance at him before looking at my food again as I answer, Yes.
More like they were rushing to get in though.
The guy watches eat for several seconds which is just weird before I eventually ask, Why?
I noticed that theyre all still wearing their uniforms despite not needing to according to the vice-headmaster. Which is quite odd, but to each their own.
And Denise is still strangely quiet, which I also find very strange considering her first reaction towards . To the point that it feels a little creepy sohow.
And why are you so quiet? I originally pegged you as a talkative and energetic person, I ask rather bluntly towards Denise, startling her in the process.
She hurriedly looks between and the others before eventually focusing on the food in front of her with a vaguely sad look on her face as she says, Well, I thought you didnt like and would prefer for to be quiet. Its what I deserve after what I did to you when we first t
I blink in surprise.
She felt guilty? Incredibly guilty by the sounds of it but why would she think I disliked her?
When I ask her that, she just looks confused and says, You said not to touch you again
I stare at her in silence for a few seconds.
Why would that translate to disliking you? I ask, not really understanding that jump in logic. I dont even like my own best friend or father figure touching in any way, much less soone I just t.
This ti she stares at for several seconds in silence.
Then a blush erges on her face, and she looks down again while muttering, I... I thought you were only saying that to get to stop
I raise an eyebrow.
Why would I do that? I ask, a frown stretching across my own face.
Well, so people just make up excuses to politely tell soone not to do sothing! she says as if defending herself before gaining a sad frown. Sorry.
Yeah, Im not really the type to do that.
Dont apologize. Just stop being so mopey and quiet. It really doesnt suit you, I tell her, muttering the last part a little quieter than the rest.
Her head shoots up with a surprised expression on it, but I return to eating my food before she can say anything. I do glance up while eating to look at the siblings though, just to find them both with expressions showing a mixture of surprise and amusent on their faces. Then I focus on my food again until I finish the very last dish.
Right when I stand up from my seat, about to excuse myself to head to a training hall, I hear Michael ask, Hey, Scarlet, can I ask you sothing?
I glance at him before simply saying, You just did.
He grimaces at that for a second, only to then grin as he repeats himself, Can I ask you two more sothings?
I stare at him for a second before grinning myself and crossing my arms. Go ahead.
Without any hesitation, he imdiately gets to the point, I would like to ask if youd join our team for the interschool tournants.
