Chapter 45: TSUNDERE NEEDS MY HELP...? [I]
"Moh... Stop it. --"
"ASAGI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
As Asagi-san continued to deny that she liked me by waving her right hand, someone shouted her name. When we both turned our heads in the direction of the voice to see who it was, I saw a girl standing. She has an annoyed expression on her face, along with a slight tint. Her one eyebrow is raised, and she is pouting as well.
Well, well, don't tell me she is my new heroine. Hmm? Well, if she is, then I will keep my mouth shut this time so that she doesn't get unlocked, as for now, I don't want to add new heroines. Firstly, I need to study everything about the system by conquering a heroine by making her reach 100 affection for me.
So, yeah. I need to keep my mouth shut here.
"Oh... What are you doing here? Hmm? Don't tell me; you are here to meet hi --"
"NO! I am not. And let's go. Why are you even here, hmm?"
"Well, I am --"
.
I stood at my spot silently, watching them talk with each other. Asagi-san as usual has a small grin on her face as she continues to talk with the other girl. While the other girl is trying to say things in a low voice while in between taking a glance at me.
I don't know what I did to her, but she is radiating a threatening aura toward me. Well, well.
So, I waited there for about one minute, and then I decided to leave the place without saying anything to the girls who were busy in their 'girl' talk... Good Grief.
.
I didn't get the chance to ask Asagi-san the reason, why she came to meet me yesterday morning or this time also. Well, I could have asked but I can't because of the arrival of another girl.
But there is a possibility here that maybe there is no reason behind her coming and meeting me, maybe she just wants to meet me as a friend... Hmm... Well, I will get to ask her when the time comes.
..
When I successfully reached the apartment building, I saw a girl standing in front of my apartment. How could I forget about her, huh?
It is none other than the girl, who is supposed to teach me how to cook, Mahiru Shiina. She has a bland expression on her face, but she seems a little irritated, is it because of me? Or is there any other reason behind this?
So, I walked towards her as her gaze seemed to be fixated on me when I came in her vision.
When I finally stood in front of her, she sighed a little and turned her gaze away from me to the door of my apartment.
Let's not waste more time for her, so I quickly unlocked the door. I gestured to her to go inside first, to which she nodded a little and entered first. Following her, I also set foot inside my apartment.
..
When we reached the kitchen, I told her I wanted to change my clothes first, so I excused myself from her while she nodded slightly again and sat on the couch in the drawing room.
After around 5 minutes, I came back to find out that Shiina-san was standing in the kitchen, and she was looking inside the refrigerator while humming a little.
I don't know what she is looking for because I have nothing inside that 'thing' except for the bread, milk, and I don't know maybe some chocolates...
"Um, Shiina-san"
I called out to her as I slowly approached her. She closed the refrigerator and then turned her whole body in my direction. She stared at me for a few seconds and again sighed a bit. Why is she 'sighing' so much?
Is she not feeling good? If that's the case, then she should take a rest. Or there is also a case about why she is sighing this much, maybe because of me as I have nothing in the fridge nor I -- Well, whatever.
...
In the White Room, every child present was a 'subject' to becoming a 'perfect' human. I was one of them.
But one day, I escaped from that 'place' even though it took me about one year to plan all this, by injuring myself badly. I wanted to save one more person in there, Ayankouji Kiyotaka, but that was not that easy because that time, he was being controlled or manipulated by his father. If his father says to kill anyone, he will do anything just to carry out his plan to kill that person.
I was also like that because his father was manipulating me, just like his son, saying a single line every time --
"I have done so much for you, and you can't even do this 'single' thing for me... I am disappointed in you, Ren."
And just by hearing that, I find myself guilty that what he is saying is correct. He did everything for me, like teaching, providing me with food, giving me a space to live, and much more. So, I carried out multiple tasks for him, and whenever he praises me, it gives me happiness to the core of my heart.
Good Grief.
At that place, we also have cooking sessions. But I only got to attend two or three sessions, yes, only two or three. Why? It's because I am the only one there capable of assassinating. I know that if training anyone there for one or two weeks on how to assassinate, they will become better than me, but 'that' man wanted them to become extremely capable so that they can do anything, capable of becoming anyone like, he wants his son to become 'President' of Japan or something like that.
.
*sigh*
"Why are you sighing so much? Do you not like the Omurice?"
"Ah. No, it's delicious, Shiina-san..."
"I-I see..."
[MAHIRU SHIINA: +1 AFFECTION POINTS]
...
In the end, I didn't even make a fuc*ing single Omurice. Oh, how embarrassing.
But thanks to my teacher, I still got to eat something, and it was very delicious to the point that I wanted to compliment her more, but I controlled myself because there would be many chances shortly where she wanted to hear these compliments from me.
When I was trying to make Omurice, I messed up a lot. When the time came to stir the things, I used a little too much force than needed, and well, the batter became extra brown, so we had to dispose of it. She said she could make it from this batter, but I denied her idea because I wanted to make it perfect.
[A/N: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THIS EITHER...]
But I still can't make the final product, even though I have been trying about three times. Tch. H-how can this be possible? I am one of the perfect humans, so why? WHY?
..
"You are doing great, Kaneki-san. I am sure you will surely make Omurice next week. Just continue your practice."
"Yes, yes. Well, see you tomorrow, Shiina-san."
"Hmm..."
She nodded her head. Then she left my apartment while I stood at the door watching her go. When she successfully entered her apartment, I sighed again and closed the door behind me as I also returned inside to my apartment.
.
In school today, nothing special happened except that Shikimori-san was absent. Her friends were looking worried about her and I think they were that worried to the point that one of them didn't even hear her name when she was called out by one of the teachers.
Well, I think I also m-missed her a bit...
[~_~]
And my system also...
[NO]
Well, A.S. is just a tsundere. And I have a feeling that she would be cute enough that she was blushing right now when she heard me talking about her.
[W-WHA...]
Well, well.
..
As I was preparing to clean the kitchen, my phone rang again. Tch. Who is it now, huh?
Luckily it's not from the apartment telephone, so there is a very slight possibility of 'them' calling me, but still, they might be behind this call.
And, *sigh* here it is, an Unknown number. Tch.
*ahem*
"Hello. Who is it?"
"Um, err, it's Kaneki Ren's number, isn't it?"
"Horikita Suzune?"
"Yes? You know m-me, who are y-you?"
"*ahem* Sorry, it's me, Horikita-san."
"Kaneki-kun?"
"Yes. Sorry, I was trying to act cool, haha."
"What? Are you laughing or what?"
"..."
"Well, come to the park. I want to discuss something with you. Also, it's your own choice, so if you don't want then --"
"Okay. Just wait two minutes, and I will be there with you, okay?"
"Hmph..."
