Chapter 64: Emi's suffering
Strange event in the circuit of flats in the southern area of Arekkaido, a strange fire originated in the flats that were to be demolished next month, the fire covered the entire building leaving severe damage to the structure, adds to the facts that found a deceased product of the same catastrophe, It is not yet possible to identify the identity of the victim, but it is presumed that it could be an older man, it should also be added that the cameras of the building in front of the fire managed to capture a person out of the fire, a person who is being sought by the authorities, but also has not been able to identify the alleged perpetrator of the fire.
For more information we will contact our reporter Janis who is on the scene....
I went downstairs to ask Camila to turn down the TV, it was still too early in the morning for her to start her early TV habit.
"Camila, I beg you... it's not even six in the morning, could you at least turn down the volume on that thing?" I said yawning.
"Excuse me Hikaru, but I'm not Camila". Said Emi concentrating on the news.
Marco Harita, here from the scene, as you can see the base of the building is too unstable, so they are planning to demolish it, they are starting to do the first surveys, as far as they know, they still can't find the source of the fire....
"Emi, what are you doing up so early?"
"My boss's ogre wants me to gather information about what happened last night, so I came to watch the news".
"That's not sweatshop labour?"
"You don't say, come here... Since when do you sleep without a shirt on, don't tell me you were doing dirty things together? - He said with a tired smile, while making the gesture of masturbating with one hand jokingly".
"Maybe me and Aki, well, you know...."
She stopped making the hand gesture, blushing a little.
"I see".
Emi tapped the place where she wanted me to sit, next to her and I did.
"Aki is with us?"
"No, she's practicing her control, she wants to try to be able to touch us without her feelings getting out of control".
"I understand. - she said without taking her eyes off the TV".
I started to look at Emi, she looked exhausted, with dark circles under her eyes, almost stressed.
"Emi, why don't you go and rest?"
"I can't, Hikaru, I have to pay attention to this.... Hey don't turn off the TV, Hikaru I'm watching that, it's important!" Said Emi annoyed.
"Emi, what's wrong, you don't look well?"
"I look so bad for you to worry about me, Hiakru".
" Emi I don't need to look bad to worry about you, I always think about you".
"What a liar..."
Emi hugged me and hugged me, then she started crying.
"I can't take it anymore little brother, excuse me, but I can't take it anymore, you know what I have to worry about because you're going head on against an organization where God knows what the fuck they really do, besides all the Gonzalo stuff with the department, besides I have a lot of work to do Hikaru, I don't want any more".
"Emi, remember that you're only 19 years old, don't try to cover everything, it's not necessary anymore, you can lean on me, that's what I want, let me give you back a little bit of everything you've given me, sis".
"This sounds good, but you have to focus on your studies, besides you're already burdened with Akari, which worries me, look at you, I'm not the only one tired here, see your face you look tired too, at least the bruise isn't as big as it was in the beginning, but it's still worrying".
I put my hand on my sister's cheek, which she appreciated and rested her cheek in my hand.
"Emi, things are going to get better, but I can't let you destroy yourself because of me, how do you think I feel seeing you bad because of me, and I know it is, I always give you problems even with my own girlfriend which I should solve by myself, I even ask you for advice, knowing how you feel about me, and I don't do it with the intention of making you feel bad, I just don't trust anyone else than you to guide me".
"Emi got closer to me as I cried, being careful with my injury.
"Yes, maybe it hurts a little bit, it's still hard for me to accept that I will never be able to have you as I want, but you know that I will always respect your decision, and on the other hand I'm glad that you ask me about these things, I'm not the greatest expert on the subject, but I'd rather guide you than make a mistake little brother, you can always count on me for everything".
"Emi, don't go on, this is no longer for me, but for you, I want you to rest, stop making me lunches, I can do that, if you need help with your research, I can do it, we both know that I don't study at home, and I can also be an economic support for you, we can both support each other, I am old enough to be able to work in Konbinis, like you did".
Emi kissed me on the forehead.
"I said, 'Nice, but not your studies, concentrate on that, I'm...."
"To hell with my studies Emi, they're worthless to me, if you finish badly, let me help you as I should, especially since we're moving in together, and ask for a few days off from work".
"No, no work Hikaru, I'm serious, that's what I'm here for, about the other thing, I don't think that Ogre will give me days off".
"Have you at least tried asking him?"
"I guess not, but where are we going?"
"I was thinking of taking Aki, to the cat temple in the mountains of Arekkaido once we get her back to normal, besides you like cats too but because of Camila's allergy we never had one... I'm going out on a limb, we could go there, for a few days, you, me, Aki, we could invite Niko if you want, and we'll just fuck it all up a bit, for once".
"That sounds fantastic Hikaru, why not?"
"Emi?"
"Shhh, let me rest a bit on you".
Emi kept crying, for quite a while, until she fell asleep, I was starting to get cold, but I didn't want to move so I wouldn't wake her up, it was better this way, at first I thought about what my tedious family was going to say when they found us on the couch, but at this point I didn't care, Emi was bad for overloading herself, maybe because of my own fault.
A T-shirt along with a blanket that fell on me snapped me out of my reverie.
"Don't catch a cold, silly".
"Aki... This is not what you think". I said speaking very softly so as not to wake Emi up.
"I've been listening to them".
Aki hugged my neck, piercing Emi's head.
"I feel bad for Emi, I ended up taking the position she wanted and if you say it's thanks to her that we are together, it must be very painful for her".
"Don't talk like that Aki, unfortunately I couldn't give her what Emi wants, because even though I love her, I don't do it that way, even if our paths hadn't come together, I would have ended up with Asuna or I guess with someone else... she said something very stupid right?"
"At least you realise it idiot, but be thankful I know you well enough to know what you mean, these moments are when I wish I could hit you".
"Then I'm very lucky to have you Aki, but I want Emi to be happy, and I don't know how to make that happen".
I grabbed the blanket to cover myself and Emi.
"Her world revolves around you, I would say that as long as you are happy she will be, but I think Emi should look for something else to make her feel good.... Maybe a person who can love her, or something that she really likes to do".
"I guess you're right, but Emi's boyfriends haven't lasted very long with her, Emi usually breaks up with them soon after, and the way she is, I don't think it's hard for her to get a boyfriend, as for something she likes, I know she wants to be a reporter, she likes cats like you Aki, old movies like me and? one moment she liked that, and when Camila arrived she had to stop doing it, because of the religion my stepmother had".
"What are you talking about Hika?"
"Emi liked an anime in particular, the thing is that this anime the main characters loved each other, it was of the yuri genre, but Emi had some figures of them that she loved, but Camila voted them out, from then on things between them went from bad to worse, maybe I could look for that one, and see if I can find some figures of them, maybe she would like it, what do you think?"
"That Emi has weird tastes... I'm just joking, maybe she'll at least like it, if she still likes that kind of thing, but you don't lose anything by trying Hika".
"Decided, then it's time to talk to the expert in this kind of things".
"Expert?"
