Rebuilt Trust // PROJECT SEKAI // Nefarious Hell Part 2 [CANCELED]

04 : Only I Can Know

"Oi! Tsukasa-senpai, do you want to train together? We haven't in awhile!" Mizuki asks, smiling.

I look at them a bit. Their face always seemed familiar, but I couldn't put a finger on it.

Mizuki.. Mizuki.. Why were they so familiar.

"I would, but I have to go attend some stupid law thing for the kingdom. Maybe some other time!" Tsukasa says, sighing.

"Oh, alright." Their smile immediately fell. It was as if all of their hopes and desires disappeared.

A couple of moments later, Tsukasa exits the room. He didn't seem upset, just exhausted.

Everything was still odd to me. I wasn't used to Tsukasa being king or the villains being mutuals with the kingdom. It was.. strange. Seeing Kaito enter the castle without being killed? That's extremely worrying.

But things are different now.

I frown, looking over at Mizuki who was awkwardly standing to my right, a bit further behind me. "Sorry to bother, but when was the last time Tsukasa-kun and you trained together?" I mutter, being curious.

Mizuki jumps in place a bit, not expecting me to say something. "I.. I'm not sure." They furrow their eyebrows. "But I'm sure it'll be soon!"

I chuckle. "Huh? You really think that with all of his royal duties, he'd be able to make time for something stupid like that?" I hiss, smirking a bit.

"Eh? What's that supposed to mean?!" They place a hand on their hip, sword in the other.

I walk closer to them. "That means that the 'soon' you so desperately believe will happen, isn't going to happen~." I say.

Mizuki shakes their head. "He'll make time soon. Tsukasa-senpai always finds a way!"

"How adorable.. You re~aalllyy thing he can make time with this job now?" I place a hand on their chin. They gulp. "Tsukasa-kun won't ever have time for you. Not for me. Not for you. Not for anyone. Nobody but himself." I knew that Tsukasa would make time.

Yet I was trying to manipulate Mizuki..

Why?

"Wh-what..?" Mizuki holds their breath. "No, you're wrong! Tsukasa-senpai has always made time! I know he has! I'm not falling for your stupid manipulative tricks! G-Go suck a dick or something, gayass!" They immediately kick me onto my feet and back away, laughing a bit.

"What the hell?!" I sigh, shaking my head. "Whats with humans and alwayyss being so violent..." I smile, chuckling a bit.

Mizuki crosses their arms, dropping their sword. "You're human too, idiot." They continue to laugh.

"Mmm, I suppose thats true. Although, to be honest, the name of a 'zombie' would fit more after I was practicing revived." I explain, standing up quickly and grabbing their sword, pulling them into a hold where the sword was at their neck.

"H-Hey! That's unfair! I wasn't looking!" They complain, frowning.

I bring the sword closer to their throat. "Ahh, I see.. You think im joking around, don't you?" I smile playfully. Mizuki's pupils shrink, alongside that, the size of their eyes expanded. They didn't dare to say a word. "Tch, how pathetic.." I chuckle quietly. "Pathetic because I'm fucking with you." I drop the sword and step away from them.

Mizuki sighs in relief. "Geez! You scared me for a second." They pick up their sword and hold it tightly.

"You really think it'd hurt someone after immediately going onto good terms with the person I love?" I cross my arms and tilt my head.
