"Fa-Fate, what's the matter?"
I hurriedly followed the girl whose long silver hair was endlessly waving gently at every step. We're still in the club but this is heading to the back of the building.
Instantly the clattering stopped in the open space until the whirring of the wind from the crack of the tree welcomed. Very rarely do people go to this place but here I am with Fate.
Then by folding both hands in front of the chest, the left-handed-Fate-slightly outstretched with flickering fingers pointed at one of the benches surrounding the round table; as if to ask me to sit there. Surprisingly, my body automatically complies. Is it because of the relentless gripping air he let out? Smile ... makes me creep!
This reminds me of the far-off incident when Fate was watching me in the hospital. What is the same problem now? But I wasn't hurt, I just woke up.
We sat facing each other, some of the benches on the left and right that were circular were left empty. Before long Fate began to raise the thighs to one of the legs and the hands still folded in front of the chest. The bluish silver eye had glanced at some points of the room before it turned to me who was linking fingers.
Until some time passed, he did not say.
"Umm, Fate .. sorry," I said slowly, trying to break the awkward tips concentrated.
However, not according to the assumption. He smiled again, so wide that his eyes formed a line. "Why apologize if you don't know your fault?"
Stab!
God, I don't know but can't stand the condition-ah, what it's like to say sorry a thousand times, but what's my fault? Don't know! I ended up covering my face with two hands.
"And you're Crist, get out of your hiding place." I immediately raised my head; looking at where the girl was staring. Sure enough, a young man figure came out from behind the dim bookshelf that bound this place with the space before.
The distinctive scythe back rubble returns him when raising both shoulders. "Knowledge .. ahahaha, you are indeed something Fate. I'm sorry if it's rude, but I'm worried about Red."
Then Crist sat right on the bench next to me. Rebellious in a light smile, dark blue eyes looked at me - and it made me a little relieved - before looking back at Fate. "What's the matter with Red?"
The intended precisely massage the forehead, take a deep breath and lower one of the legs that rise. Before long, Fate leaned against an armless wooden bench while smiling mysteriously.
"You umpteenth man took the role of his guardian, but none of you guided him well. Spoiling and just indulging, the result becomes like this."
Not understanding what this girl meant, but the sentence succeeded in making Crist smile wryly at the extreme hardness of the forced.
"Red, how long have you been acting foolishly at the sacrifice of those around you?"
I frowned slightly at Fate's question. "meaning?"
"Your immortality must be kept a secret, but you're a sumbar."
Oh, that problem. He had a chance to talk about it when we were on an underground mission. I feel bad remembering that.
"You are always rash and reckless, doing things as you please without seeing the consequences. How long have you been acting like that? If other people find out, you explain it to them."
"It was a problem at the time, wasn't it? Excuse me. I do not do it because of bad intentions such as harming myself or not trusting friends, just do not want someone hurt. I don't know, I don't want anyone to get hurt," I said weakly at the end of the sentence, my eyes also became mine.
"And people think the same thing about you. What's your reason for choosing to sue yourself instead of working together?"
"Eeem, because I don't want to involve the others? I mean, if I could why not?"
"So you look down on other people?"
I was immediately stunned. "Eeeh, no! Sure didn't. Since I'm immortal ... With my presence, I can minimize the worst possibilities, right?"
"Then how do you hide the secret of your immortality?" said Fate screechingly in a faint smile.
Eh? Also true. We go back to the initial discussion. I became confused, only able to rub the nape of the nape in a daze.
"Ahahaha, that's it. Maybe Red hasn't gotten used to mingling with things like this." Aw, Crist. I forgot he was still here because this young man kept quiet, probably trying to listen to our conversation. "He's been hundreds .. or even thousands of years living life in immortality, and now is confused how to become an ordinary mortal."
"It's not so ..," Crist said very weakly, even I suspect Fate can hear it across there.
"Now you're defending him out of pity, right? But you also need to think about things ahead. If he does something wrong, let him know; remind him. That way he can learn from his mistakes. If you continue to understand, until when will he realize his mistake? He'll just walk in place."
What Fate said successfully made Crist lowered his head, even to the point of covering his mouth with the right palm whose elbows were already leaning over his thighs; it was like swallowing bitter guilt.
But only now do I see it like this!
"Aaaa, Fate, don't be so rude to Crist!"
However, I was instead reciprocated with a piercing gaze that punched right into the heart together in a bright-ralat smile, it looked more horror. "Maybe this won't happen if you're more careful with yourself?"
"Ah, sorry ...."
Crist and I ended up bowing down to the only girl in front. We're being taken all out, as I thought. Really this is my own problem, but to bring Crist involved. Like an ostrich, it just wants to immerse its head in the ground.
After a few minutes, silence enveloped until the rustling sound of leaves became its own rhythm. Hesitatingly I raised my head, and Fate had already returned over that flat face without that horrible smile.
"This ... has it?"
"Oh, so you want more?"
Quickly Crist snatched, "Red, don't be fished!"
"Eh, ta-but I'm just confused-ah, I mean, I'm sorry deeply!" I bowed the solemnity marker of speech.
"Really, what Crist said is true." Returning straight, I rubbed my eyes with my right palm. Staring blankly out of nowhere. "In the original world no one treated me this well. I even thought: perhaps it is my destiny to be moons; unworthy to stand in your midst. Because the memories ...."
Spontaneously closing my eyes-ah, the damaged memories returning, I stroked my neck several times in an attempt to calm myself down.
"That memory made me think that this self was despicable, should have sacrificed for everyone to pay for sins. Ending up often torturing yourself and unconsciously, it becomes a habit. As it is now."
"Red, is that why?" whispered Crist nilar. I turned my head and found this young man had put on a face of disbelief, along with sadness and pity that I returned a wry smile.
"'In my home world'," Fate said in a freezing stab and reflex that got me back on her. Apparently, he was pointing right at me. "You always use those words as an excuse. As if you-ah, no, you're still stuck with your past."
"You and I both came from different worlds. You think we're in this world for no reason?" The girl shook her head until her silver hair fell off her shoulders. "There is no such thing as coincidence. There's always a reason for everything, including this."
Reason ... The spoken sentence makes me recall many things: second chance; hope granted; normal life. I also closed my eyes tightly while silencing my mouth because it was true what was said, why did I not realize the short answer? Ah, rather the fog wrestled in the eyes too thick to realize how I looked.
Vague sounds of breathing.
"Nobody asked you to be able to adapt directly to the new world. But you have to be able to accept ..," said Fate hanging, luring me to direct attention to him.
Now the bluish silver eyes looked up at the sky, making the iris shine brightly like a beautiful moon. Moreover, the alabaster face carved an expression I did not understand, like seeing many flash stories far up there. "Now we live in this world. With the culture, language, and conditions of this world."
"I know." Back I lowered my head and hooked my fingers. "Because it's true that you don't want to hurt anyone, or see someone else get hurt. And knowing what I did didn't solve anything, it added to the burden. Therefore, I beg ... be willing to lead me on the right path."
Basically, I just don't want to lose anyone.
"Especially you, Fate. Only now meet someone like me both in your home world and this world, right? I hope I'm not bothering you." At least I want to try, even if it's slow.
"Ahahaha, of course Red. We're happy to be--"
"Stop getting there!" Someone cuts off Crist-eh?
