Rei POV
After they left, I washed the dishes and then headed towards my bed. I'm extremely tired and I've done no intense physical exercise for my body to react this way
I'm extremely grateful for his cooking. I have no ability to cook and after he helped me with that, I have a good quality dish for at least two days
I changed to my pajamas and after that, it was time for me to sleep
Suddenly, I heard a sound
Someone was knocking my door
I stood up and opened the door to my visitor
"Kushida-san?" I said with a shocked expression
"I knew it!!!! You are still pale" She said angrily while keeping her persona
"Eh?"
"From the first moment, I noticed that you had something similar to a cold.
Somehow inside the classroom you hid it successfully and I ignored it, but after we finished you became pale again"
She then came inside and I closed the door
"I went and bought a cold recipe and after that I came here. You were busy with the sister meeting and I decided to come here again later, that's the story"
I subconsciously started to cry
"It's okay, it's okay" She said to calm me down while hugging me "let's go to your bed, standing is tiring for you"
I lied my body on my bed and Kushida sat down nearby
"I came here for something else too but for that you need to become a little better"
"Thank you"
"It's nothing"
We stayed stale for some minutes until I decided to say something
"If you are hungry, you can eat some of my food inside the fridge, Karuizawa made it with a friend of hers"
"Ehhhh?" She asked with a perplexed expression
"It's quite good that's why I'm giving it to you"
She nodded and started preparing her food
After she finished eating it
"This is insanely good, everything fits perfectly" She said surprised
"We had the exactly same reaction" I said with a chuckle
After I felt a little better, it was time for me to confront her other worry
"After I mentioned something inside the classroom, you had a worrying expression. You have the same expression even now, is there something I can do to help you?"
"I'm pretty sure that you know about my true nature, I have no concrete evidence for that, just a feeling"
"I only sensed something, I have no reason to pry into you. I'm not the kind of person that will investigate someone without their permission. If someone opens up to me I'll do anything in my power to help them"
It was a half lie
"Then what's your opinion, if someone has a dark nature?"
While saying that she changed to her dark persona and a bittersweet smile appeared on her face, now the real test begins
"Then I'll have to accept them as they are"
As I said that I showed her my empty dark eyes without holding back, this was my first time I've done something like that
My eyes compared to Ayanokoji's are nothing
She trembled a little and then she started crying
"Wh-What happened to you to have eyes like that?"
"It was one of the limitless possibilities that led me to experience humanity's ugly nature.
When the time is correct I'll open myself to you. As for now I'm not comfortable to talk about it"
"If it's disturbing, you don't have to do it" She said with a serious look
"In the future, I'll have to do it"
She nodded
"Like you said, you sensed my true nature, why you protected me?"
I stood up and flicked my finger on her forehead
"Ouch!!!!" She screamed
"You idiot!!!! this is not even your true nature"
"W-What do you mean?" She asked bewildered
"Your upfront personality is also real, you have two personalities"
"I hate this, I envy people that have only one personality like the girl that you teased"
"That's bullcrap, everyone has at least 2 personalities, that of course depends on the person that they interact with"
"I find that hard to believe"
"Without a time limit, I'll try to find that girl in an awkward situation and share my results with you"
She has her brocon side hehehe
"I'm counting on it" She said with an innocent smile
"Can I stay here tonight?"
"Of course"
I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and send a message
[ I turned Kushida into an ally ]
[ Good Job 😆 ]
I was planning to delete the message anyway, but after I saw that my speed increased. I got traumatized
After finishing with my business I returned and Kushida said
"Thanks for setting up a situation to change our seats, those perverted morons were getting on my nerves"
"It was nothing, their ogling was uncomfortable. If they continue with that thinking, I'll punish them myself"
"I'm looking forward to it.
Good night, Rei-chan"
"Good night, Kyo-chan"
