Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 90

In the training ground...

*slash slash*

I don't understand what's going on. I already have enough problems to make me go crazy, and now this. I can't even focus on my original goal...

"... I came back to my original form in order to take revenge, but now I'm taking care of everything except this."

That's it. I can't do this anymore-

"Blackie?"
*turn* "... Eluma?"

Why is he here of all times?

"Blackie, are you okay?"
"... What?"
"?"

Is he really asking me this?

"Yes, I'm fine"
"You're sure? You look pale-"
"Did you not hear me or something? I told you, I'm fine"
"Ah, I see"
"Anything else?"
"Well, I-"
"Eluma~"
"!"
"... What are you doing here?"
"Eh? What do you mean? You promised me you'd take me on a date!"
"What-"
*woosh*
"... Blackie?"

What's wrong with her?

*smirk*

...

In the human world...

I never thought I'd be this happy to get back home.

*clack*
"Oh, Black Akari!"
"We're going to the mall"
"... Do you want to come with us?"
"... Alright"
"Eh?"
"REALLY?!"
*nod*
"Alright! Let's go!"

I should focus on these guys for now. I must stay focused on my objective. All the rest can wait.

...

In the mall...

"Let's enter this shop first!"
"Oh my god! This dress looks beautiful"
"It would be perfect on you, right Black Akari?"
"... It looks ugly on you"
"... Ah. Well, I can try something else"
"What about this dress?"
"Yes! I love it-"
"Monica"
"Yes?"
"... Aren't you getting fatter lately?"
"!"
"Black Akari!"
"Does it show that much?"
"Yes"
"I see..."

Because of the stress, I've been eating a lot lately.

"Alright, I think I'll see some pants"
"It'd be best"

Serves you right for all the times you criticized me regarding my body, even though you did see how stressed I was all the time. Now that I think about it, I still did not eat from today morning. I should eat something once we go back.

"Black Akari"
"... What?"
"You okay?"
*sigh* "Why are you asking?"
"You look a little down"
"And?"
"Oh, well, if you need me, I'm here-"
"Estelle"
"Yes?"
"Shut up"
"Alright, sorry"

Annoying. Even if it wasn't because of Eluma, being with all of you would make me angry. Good thing Yamel isn't here.

"Alright, let's leave"
"Do you guys want to come to my house?"
"Huh?"
"I'm sure Yamel misses you all"
"Okay!"
"Black Akari, do you want to come?"
*smirk* "Sure"
"Let's go then!"

...

In Yamel's house...

"Mom I'm home and I brought my friends as well"
"Oh, my! Welcome!"
"Good morning"
"Good morning-" *notices Blackie*
"?"
"Mom?"
"Ah, sorry but... who's the beautiful girl?"
"This is A- Black Akari"
"Black Akari?"
"You really don't remember me?"
"Well-!"

No way... this can't be her...

"Akari?!"
*smirk* "It's been quite some time, right?"
"You, you changed so much..."
"That's because of your children"
"Eh? What do you mean-"
"Mom, where's Yamel?"
"... In his room."
"Alright, we'll go see him-"
*grab her hand* "We'll talk later about this"
*nod*
*tok tok*
"Who is it?"
"It's me and the others."
"Come in"
*clack*
"Hello"
*dash* "Oh my god, babe! Are you okay?!"
"Well, my leg hurts, so of course I'm not okay-" *turn*
*smile*
"BLACK AKARI?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
"Well, I came to see if you're okay, but if you don't want to see me, I can go-"
"No of course I want to see you! Come in!"
*smirk* "Thanks" *enters*
"Thank you for coming!"
*nod* "How is your leg?"
"Well, it hurts, but I'm sure it'll get better soon!"
"... That's good" *smile*
*blush*

I don't really want him to get better to be honest. Well, he was always the type to hurt himself, so I guess even his body is tired of his clumsiness.

"Black Akari, shouldn't you go and see Eluma?"
"..." *glance*
"... Monica, why are you bringing up Eluma right now?" *mad*
"Well, I'm sure she wants to see him. He's her boyfriend after all"
"Can you stop saying that?"
"For real!"
"Maria, Sally, why did you get angry all of a sudden?"
"Because it's annoying!"
*nod*
"..." *smirk*

This girl's stupidity can be useful sometimes. I did not even bring this topic yet, but she did it in my stead.

"Yes, you're right. I should leave." *gets up*
"But you just came-"
"It's okay. I checked on you, so it's fine now. See you" *smile pitifully* *clack*
"Akari"
"My name is Black Akari."
"Ah, well, Black Akari, can you tell me what happened exactly?"
"You should ask your children, especially Yamel."
"But-"
"I'm leaving"
*clack*

I can't believe they didn't tell her. Even though I was the one who saved their mother. Ungrateful.

*sigh* "I guess I should go now"

I should take care of Eluma's matter before Yamel starts walking again

*woosh*
