Capítulo 20: Ch 19 - A Flash From the Past
Me and Rushia finally made it back to the Holohouse. A few Hololivers there. As you'd expect…
"Konbanwa!" They said.
"Konbanwa!" Rushia replied back.
"Yo." I said.
I sighed.
"Welp, that was nice! Time to work more on the project-"
"I'll be going back now, Shiro-niichan."
"Oh? Okay…"
'Strange. Seeing Rushia's patterns and knowing how she'd react, I expected her to at least cling to me for a bit more, and especially wanting me to do something to her like a kiss to the forehead…'
I thought back to when I rejected Rushia's father's offer, and I let out a small "Hmm…"
'If that theory is correct...I assume she has romantic feelings for me?'
I sighed as I walked back to my room.
'As much as I'd hate to break her heart, I just really can't...She's just so precious to me as a sister figure...'
I mean, I did fap to her Hololive r34 pics and whatnot, but I have 0 romantic interest for the real person behind the character.
"Sigh...welp, I guess I'll continue my video nonetheless and get it done quicker...after that, do a little bit of Twitter scrolling, and I'm done."
~~Rushia's POV~~
"Sniff...sniff....Goddammit…"
'I-I mean...I know we see each other as sibling figures, and I knew he would never see me that way, but…' I thought as I grabbed my pillow hard and dug my face into it more as I felt some more wetness from it.
"Sniff...I-I mean...even if that's the case, I'll still give him the love and attention he deserves...even if he can't really love me as a woman but as a sister figure only…"
'...but I just hope, one day, maybe...maybe something could happen...even just a kiss to the lips would be fine…Fuck!' I thought as I bit my pillow and screamed a bit, being muffled entirely by my pillow.
~~Shiro's POV~~
"Okay...that was some editing." I thought as I saved the project.
"Dammit, I estimated at least 20 minutes of scrolling time. Now I only have 5 minutes left until I go sleep...welp, fuck it. At least it's better than none." I said as I scrolled through twitter.
I liked some fanart, retweeted some stuff, and even tried to catch up with what people have been seeing lately. After all that, I took a shower, and I changed into new clothes, lying down to bed and yawning.
"Well, that was a productive day, I guess." I said as I put my right hand over my stomach.
I looked up into the ceiling and thought back to the concept of friends. It's strange...ever since I thought of it, it's still stuck in my mind. It might disappear from my mind by the time I wake up tomorrow, but it's just lingering in my mind...waiting for me to discover more about it and really think deeply after a long time being separated from my friends back in the base.
'Huh...now that I think about it, how did I become friends with Subaru?' I thought to myself as I closed my eyes.
...I remember now.
Although some trainees just wanted to become a soldier just so that they could get a job, some had the same interests as me and my friends back then.
We wanted to protect what we held as precious.
Even if it cost our lives, even if it cost our happiness, if it meant that everybody in the country would be safe, it was worth it in the end. We could stand with our chest out in pride, knowing we have done something to help the world, even for just a little bit.
'Sigh...as much as I hate wanting to socialize with the girls...' I thought as I recalled the fat bastard that gave Rushia money in exchange for sex, and Roboco who was cheated on by her boyfriend. It made me clench my fists, even though I was about to drift to sleep.
'As much as I hate it, seeing scum like those fucks should be burning in hell...even if it meant I might get a bit anxious for helping the girls, it's a win-win if I can get out of this "misogyny" of mine while also helping somebody serve justice and get those scumshits out of earth's surface.'
If what I theorized about Rushia is true...if she really does love me that way, and not just as a brother figure, I just hope that she knows I really love her. Not that way, of course, but I want her to know that I'm willing to be there by her side all the way until she can stand proud and happy. Especially Roboco. I want to be able to help her move on until she can find somebody she really loves.
And Subaru...Heh, we'll see what happens...but I also want to be by her side, since she's quite a good friend…
I just hope she also sees me as a friend too, and not some sort of quote-on-quote "friend".
~~Alex-sensei's POV~~
"Sigh...finally, we can relax…" I said as I lied in bed.
"Well, our stuff back in the Philippines is still being shipped towards here, so just think of our time here as break time before we get back to arranging stuff...especially our big stuff, like our TV." Millia, my wife, said as she turned the lights off, letting the lamp in our room be the only thing giving light.
She went up the bed, and cuddled beside me, letting me wrap my shoulder around her and giving her a kiss to the head.
"Hey, did Shiina go to sleep now?" She asked.
"I don't know. But you know Shiina is responsible enough to know when she'll sleep. She's not a kid anymore." I giggled.
She also giggled along with me.
"Ah...so Shiina is gonna meet Shiro, huh?" She asked.
"Yeah...sigh, I remember seeing her face for the first time...she's grown up so much..."
...
...
I recalled the time I went to visit Japan just 'cause I wanted to go there with my wife. It was still clear in my memory. The night sky with glistening stars, the lights of buildings as people walked by, the traffic...and especially, the cries of Shiina when I first heard her.
I saw a woman with a pink hoodie as she went out of an alleyway, and she looked rather suspicious. Although I didn't wanna pry further, I heard a faint cry coming from the alleyway she came from.
I went to the alleyway, slowly realizing that the sound I heard was a cry for help from a baby. I looked at a small baby wrapped in a dark blue cotton cloth, resting on some cardboard.
"Oh no...!" I said as I crouched and picked the baby up.
"Shh sh sh sh...There, there. You're not cold anymore." I said as I rocked the baby up and down, slowly letting the baby's cry die down. It came to the point where she finally went quiet.
I looked back at the cardboard where she was resting on.
'...What kind of parent would leave their child like this...?' I thought, clenching my teeth a bit.
I looked at her face. She was still asleep, but had skin so white, she looked pretty.
"...Poor you." I giggled.
'This reminded me about how I found Kurome and made her my student...although Kurome was around 4 years old when I first found her...Well, I can't just leave her out in the open, can I?'
I sighed, thinking of taking care of a Kurome 2.0. Except, this time...I'll be having an adopted child.
I went back to the hotel where me and Millia were staying, and when I got back into my room, and she saw what I had in my hand...oh boy, it was not an easy conversation.
"Hey! Why did you bring a child?! You do know that can make you look like a kidnapper, right?! What kind of ex-soldier would do this?!"
"Hey, you think I can leave her alone in the streets of Kyoto?! She literally slept on cardboard with this cloth wrapped around her! It'd be heartless of me to just ignore it!"
"But still...!"
She sighed.
"...If we had custody of this baby, you do know we have to take care of her forever, right?"
"And what's wrong with that?"
"What about the one who put her there?"
"Look, anybody that leaves a child to sleep on the freezing ground does not intend to go back for that child. It's common sense."
"I guess you have a point…"
She looked at the baby.
"Well, I guess it wouldn't be bad to have a child, I guess. I mean, we were planning to have one, sooner or later anyway." Millia giggled.
"Too bad, we could've had our own biological child though. It could've been 2 birds with 1 stone." She said, putting her hand on her face while blushing a bit.
'W-What are you trying to imply, Millia?' I sweat dropped.
She got the baby, and she held it in her arms.
"What do you wanna call her? Before, you saw a black-haired girl searching through dumpsters for food, and called her Kurome. What do you wanna call her now?"
"Well...she does look beautiful for a baby...ah, now that I think about it, Kyoto is also known for poetry...alright, that was a lucky pull for a name."
"Hmm? What's the name?"
"Shiina."
"Y-You really love Japanese-y names, huh...?" She sweat dropped.
"Well, I don't mind anyway...so 'Shiina', huh...?"
"Yeah...Shiina."
"Sounds a bit similar to a classmate of mine that had a name called 'Sheenah'."
"Heh. So maybe that could be her nickname if we go back to the Philippines...but that'd be pointless, so scrap that."
We giggled.
…
…
"Ah...I still remember her first words. Her first word was literally 'P-Play!'"
"Ah, that time when we had breakfast, and she suddenly walked up to us? Yeah, I remember that." Millia giggled.
"Yeah...well, we better go off to sleep now, huh? We gotta get the papers in so that Shiina can go to Tanigo's school. I mean, unlike Kurome where I took her in like a daughter but more of a student, Shiina is our real adoptive daughter, you know?"
"Yup!"
~~Shiina's POV~~
"Hmm...hmm…" I snored quietly as I dreamed of something...back to my childhood. It was kind of unpleasant to dream though. It was back when I was still in Kindergarten back in the Philippines. It was around snacktime...
…
…
"Wahaha....!!!" I put my hands on my eyes as I rubbed away the tears caused by a boy who threw water at me.
"Wahaha! Look at Shiina's hair! Hah! Now the black and white hair of hers is gonna mix into an ugly mix of gray! Wahahaha!" One male classmate of mine said and pointed.
"Look! She's crying from both of her strange-looking eyes!" Another male classmate of mine said.
"P-Please stop...!! I didn't do anything to any of you!!" I cried as I kept rubbing my eyes, peeking a bit through my right eye as I looked at them.
"H-Hey! Boys! Just because Shiina is a different girl and the only half in our class doesn't mean you should bully her! Apologize, you shameless idiots!" A girl classmate of mine said.
"Shut up! You think we like seeing a girl with weird hair and eyes like hers? She should be a clown, seeing that she's so funny to look at! Ahahaha!" One of the male classmates said.
"Hey, this is my presto now!" One boy said as he went and grabbed my presto snack.
"A-AAHH!! NO, NOT MY PRESTO! GIVE ME BACK MY PRESTO, PLEASE!" I cried more as I released my hands from my face and went to get my presto.
"Hey, ugly girls like you shouldn't whine for something like this! Go eat something else!" The boy said as he put the presto as high as he could in the air while also eating one presto biscuit, letting me jump to get it to no avail.
"HEY, GIVE ME BACK MY PRESTO!"
"Hey! Stop that! Give back the Presto to Shiina!" A girl classmate of mine said as she jumped on the boy and grabbed his shirt, rocking him back and forth.
"Hey! Don't you dare!" He said.
"Hey, you kids stop it!" I heard as we all looked to the door of the classroom, seeing a teacher in her 20s look at us.
"M-Ma'am Melody...!" I said as I ran up to her and hugged her leg.
"Ah, Shiina. It's okay now. Say, what happened?" She asked.
"N-N-N-Nemesie stole my snack...!!" I cried as I looked up to her while wiping my eyes.
"M-Ma'am, that isn't the case-"
"I TOLD YOU TO GIVE BACK THE SNACK, YOU DUMB BOYS!" The girl who defended me said as she bonked him in the head.
"OW! HEY, THAT HURT, YOU...!" He said as he growled and glared at the girl.
"Hoi! Nemesie! That's enough, okay?!" My teacher said as she walked towards Nemesie, making me let go of her leg. I decided to follow her, but stay behind her leg.
"Nemesie...! You know it's bad to bully, right? Look at Shiina, and tell her you're sorry."
I sniffed more as I looked at Nemesie, groaning and putting the presto down on one of the nearby tables.
"Shiina, I'm sorry for stealing your snack." He said as he clenched his fists and looked away.
"Mmm! Now, Shiina. Go get your snack." Ma'am Melody said.
"Sniff...t-thank you, ma'am Melody." I said as I went and took a bite on my last presto while holding the trash in my left hand.
"Hey, how about we go to the canteen? I'll buy you another presto pack, huh?"
"I-Is it okay, ma'am Melody?" I asked.
"Absolutely! C'mon. Follow me and hold my hand." She said as she grabbed my hand and sniffed a bit.
"Jannah, watch over Nemesie in case he does anything bad, okay? Tell me if any of the boys do something again." She said to the female classmate who tried to defend me.
"Opo (Yes!), ma'am Melody!" She said.
"Okay...let's go, Shiina." My teacher giggled.
"Sniff...o-okay...ma'am Melody."
~March 04, 2021 7:30 AM~
"Hmm...hmm…" I snored quietly.
I suddenly dreamed of dinosaurs and vehicles in one setting. Well, what do you expect of dreams? One moment, you dream of something in your childhood, the next moment, you dream about flying whales riding on missiles.
"BZZZ. BZZZ." The alarm rang.
"Eurgh...!" I mumbled as I instantly sat up and turned the alarm of my phone off.
"Hah…" I sat up properly on the bed as I put my feet on the floor, letting my head adjust itself to the sudden movement.
'Ah yeah...I dreamed about that time back in kindergarten...That was the first time I developed hate against men.' I thought.
I stood up, stretched a bit, and went to my window, opening the curtain and letting the light from the sun make me less sleepy.
"Err...man, it's a bright day today." I said.
"...Oh, I forgot to do something too." I giggled as I went back to my phone.
I opened my phone, and looked for Shiro-niichan's photo that I kept in my phone.
"Morning, nii-chan." I said as I put the phone against my chest and breathed out with a smile.
"Alright! I have a lot to do this morning! I guess I shall go heat up the water and prepare coffee!"
~~Adrik's POV~~
I put my hands together as the water from the faucet built up inside my hands, and I splashed it against my face, wetting it. I did the same thing again, and I turned the faucet off, drying my face with a towel, and looking at myself in the mirror.
A guy with a long nose, a white beard that's rather hairy as a Russian man should have, and white hair with a man bun on.
"Heh. Another day, another 16 hours to continue my plan." I said as I got out of the bathroom.
"Hey, Zelt. I'm done. Go take a shower now."
"Ah, got it, pops!" He said as he got out of the couch and ran towards the bathroom.
"Hehe. Well, I sometimes forget the energy kids have nowadays…"
I sat down at the kitchen table as I heard a click coming from our water heater, telling me that the water had finally been heated.
"Kids, huh...?" I thought as I looked forward and breathed out.
It takes me back...when I was a small child. Oh, how lucky it is for any child to experience magnificent things like ice cream, Disneyland, and especially...a family who you could spend time with, not caring about anything that's happening in the real world aside from the fact that you could do anything with your parents still around...
…
…
"M-Mom...Dad...!" I said as I knelt down on the ground, seeing their lifeless eyes look up to the sky with their bodies in a lying position no normal human could consider as comfortable.
Smoke and fire can be seen everywhere, houses destroyed, rubble, bodies of our neighbors and friends that lay on the ground...and especially, the non-stop incoming bombshells.
"...Why did they have to storm the village...?!" I shouted.
If only we could've lived normally. If only this "battle" never happened. If only...the evil in this world would just die and burn in the depths of hell, none of this would've happened.
"...Heh...Haha...! I can't believe the ones who would do this were the ones who lived here in 'peace' with us...!" I said as my whole body shook, holding tight to the shirt of my father who still laid lifeless.
"...Oh?" I said as I looked at a nearby object that was black and also shiny.
I went to it, and saw something on the side of it.
"KH...?"
It's a rather heavy gun. As expected of something like a rifle...
'Huh...how'd this get here...?-' I widened my eyes a bit as I heard a couple guys shouting from the distance.
"Hey! Check over here! There's probably a couple more Croats here!" I heard.
'O-Oh no! They're gonna kill me too like they did to my parents!' I hyperventilated.
I had to hide behind a few rubble that was a bit taller than me when I crouched to hide from them. I peeked a bit to see them looking at the bodies. There were 2 of them. I couldn't remember what model it was, but I just remember that it was 2 big rifles.
I saw one of them kicking my mother's body, rolling her over to her back, and I widened my eyes.
"DON'T TOUCH MY MOM'S BODY!!" I shouted and shot the guy with the gun. I didn't even aim through the sights, since this was the first time I used a gun, but I luckily shot him, making him fall to the ground.
"AAAHHH! FUCK!" I heard him shout.
"Hey!" I heard the other guy shout as he tried firing bullets at my location as I went back to cover and covered my head.
My breath was getting unsteady as I saw my breaths forming small clouds as I looked down. My hands were even shaking like an earthquake.
'I did it...I killed one of the bad guys that killed my mom and dad...!'
I looked down at the ground as I cried a bit, thinking back to my parents.
'...Should I just die here? I mean...I already got to hurt one of them...I-I might die if I try to go against that other guy…'
'...No...no, this isn't enough...!' I thought as I clenched my fists and the gun, making sure not to pull the trigger.
'Those people killed the people from my village...my family...my friends...!' I thought as I went to my back, and tried to peek there, since the guy stopped firing a while ago.
I pointed the muzzle of the gun forward, and when I saw somebody there, I instantly pulled the trigger, letting the guy fall down with a few jumps here and there from him before he finally fell down.
'This is not enough! I shall kill all of them! ALL OF THEM NEED TO SUFFER! I NEED TO AVENGE THE LIVES OF THOSE THAT GOT TAKEN AWAY BECAUSE OF THESE BASTARDS!'
I aimed at him once more, and I kept firing all my bullets at him.
"HAAAAARGH!" I shouted as I aimed at the other guy and kept firing. In the middle of firing though, my bullets ran out, letting the gun do a couple clicks, before I looked at it and groaned.
"HRARGH!" I shouted as I threw it at him.
"A-Argh...!!!" He shouted.
I tried to jump on him, and punched his face with my right fist. Even though I've never gotten into a fistfight before, my hands somehow knew what to do. My right fist connecting to his nose, the retracting, what I needed to do to add more power...it's as if I knew how to fight, when I always considered myself a pacifist.
"Hrr....AAH!" I shouted as I did one last punch, leaving his bloody face with a snap to the right, before I panted, seeing his face, not breathing an inch. I couldn't even feel his chest moving with my knees.
"I...I killed them…" I smiled a bit.
"Haha...! I killed them...!" I said as I got the AK from his body while releasing the strap.
I released the magazine by using my left thumb and getting a new one, and I got one more magazine from the guy as I put it on the AK and pulled the bolt back.
"...There are more of them...more of those traitorous scum..."
I looked behind and growled a bit.
"They need to die...like what they did to my parents...!"
…
…
"Pops...! Pops!" I felt my body being shook gently from the left as I heard a voice.
"E-Eh...? Oh…Zelt." I said.
"You were spacing out, pops. The water's done. Lemme go make the coffee." He said.
I chuckled.
"Thanks, son." I said.
Zelt...my son...well, at least not my fully biological son. He has yellow hair and blue eyes. Skin just as white as Kurome's son, Shiro...
Obviously, made from sperm and egg. My sperm, and an egg from a certain girl...with Shiro's DNA in it. How did I get Shiro's DNA? Simple. His hair strands. Although it was hard to get, back when me and Shiro fought, and I tried to wrestle with him, I managed to get a couple hair strands into my pocket...yes, it was back when they thought I was dead.
Back when I was shot off the ledge of the building, I was supposed to die, but the tree branches broke my fall a bit before I finally touched the ground. If I didn't immediately find a cold water source at that time, I surely would have died, although...these wounds that I have on my entire body, and especially my face, would've told me that I should've died.
Despite those though, and despite walking with a limp at that time, I miraculously survived. Though, it was all thanks to my other men that went down later on and found me that I really survived. I wouldn't have survived for more than about 10 minutes. Those bullets are still in my body though...
"So...when do I train again? How's your plan going, dad?"
"Ah, it's going fine. You know, we got a mission right now, so no training right now."
"Ah, a mission? I love missions." He giggled.
"We gotta go and pick up a few bombs from a dealer, as well as selling my guns to a buyer so that we can get more cash to revive the past project I was doing until I got stopped."
"Ah, yeah. It was the guy that my DNA came from, right?"
"Yeah...heh."
Ishijin Kurome and Ishijin Shiro...by this time, they're definitely on the search for me. I gotta speed up everything if I want to change the whole world and reform it into a society where no evil exists and is under my control...it's only this way that terrorism can stop. Even if I already got branded as a terrorist, I'll show the world that all the evil isn't from me...it's from those bastards that claim to "keep peace".
~~Shiro's POV~~
"Hrrr…" I mumbled as I rolled left and right.
"...'t go…" I mumbled again.
…
…
"Mom, a-are you going out on another mission?"
"Sadly, yes…" She said.
I frowned a bit.
"How long will you be away for?"
"Don't worry. I'll still be in the country. I won't be off to somewhere like America or anything."
She held me tight in her arms, and kissed my head.
"I'll be back in a bit. I told your Akina-neechan to cook you food later for lunch and dinner, okay? Take care while I'm away."
"Okay...love you mom."
"Un...! Love you too, Shiro!" She said as she patted me once more and stood up.
...
…
"No...mom...! Don't go...! Don't go, please...! Please, stay with me!"
"BZZZ. BZZZZ." My alarm clock went off.
I opened my eyes and instantly turned to my right to turn the alarm off.
"...Hah...another bad dream, ey?"
This time, it's about my mom…
"Sigh...I guess, in the end, as much as I hate wanting to interact with her again...I...I still l-..."
I shook my head.
"Ah, whatever."
I stood up and turned the lights on.
"New day, new shit I have to do today."
2 days until my debut…
"Well, I guess I gotta work on my singing today, huh?"
Gotta do Robbery by Juice WRLD.
"Ah yeah...it also means I gotta do the warmups...eh, whatever." I said.
I went and made my breakfast, drank my coffee, and after that, did my vocal warm ups.
Yawning, motorboats, shoulders, bending of the knees, scales with the lip rolling, and the other warm ups I was taught. I decided to continue the other half of my warmups in the singing room, since I was gonna be very loud when doing these warmups, so I had to do it there instead. I took a shower, hummed Robbery as I shower, cause who doesn't love to sing in the shower?, and then wore a white shirt and black pants as I went towards the singing room.
I went and finished my warmups, and I sang Robbery by Juice WRLD.
I put a timer on for about 20 minutes. Might not be a lot, but it's enough to get my voice accustomed enough so that I can sing that when I have to practice Robbery throughout the whole day.
I finally finished it, and went up to the lounge, I saw a couple Hololivers and Holostars there, and especially Rushia there.
"Ohayou, Shiro-kun!" Temma said.
"Ohayou!" The others said.
"Morning." I said in English and breathed out.
"So, you look like you came out of your house after a year. Stayed up last night?" I asked as I sat beside him.
"Yeah…" Temma giggled nervously.
He was drinking coffee while also eating a chicken sandwich. It's neatly triangular, so I'm assuming he bought it from a store. Looks a bit old, so I assume he heated it up.
I changed my view to Rushia.
"Morning, Rushia."
"Oh? M-Morning, Shiro-niichan." Rushia said as she looked away.
I blinked twice.
'Huh...she seems rather distant…' I sweat dropped.
"Hmm? Rushia seems rather strange when she's around you, Shiro. What've you been doing with her the past few days?"
"Oh? Well, just normal stuff...well, she'll probably go back to normal."
'Again, I can't assume anything, so I'll just rub it off for now until I find a chance where she'll open up to me.' I thought.
"Hey, Rushia. Later, wanna go to the cafeteria and get ourselves a snack?" Marine asked.
"Oh? Ah, sure!"
I looked at the stairs, and saw nobody go down yet. It seems we're the only ones here for now. Me, Temma, Rushia, Marine, and a couple other Hololivers in the lounge area.
"Oh, yeah. Now that I think about it…" Temma said.
"Hmm?"
"Your discord!"
"...Ah, shit! I forgot! Lemme get it real quick and accept the requests!" I said as I went to my room and got my phone.
I went back and opened the account on my phone, and checked the friend requests.
"Ah...that's a lot of friend requests I haven't accepted yet." I giggled nervously.
"Well, you better accept mine first. I'm the only one who's interacting with you real time. There are a couple Holostars that are online, but please let me be the one to send you the server links."
"Cool. Thanks for helping me." I said.
"No problemo!"
I accepted every friend request, and it was kinda funny, since all the girls also sent me a friend request. The only problem is...I doubt I'll be interacting with any of them other than Subaru, Rushia, Noel, Flare, and Roboco, since they're the only ones I really had a one-on-one talk with. I even had to accept the friend request from my mama and papa.
Temma gave me the server links. There were only two of them.
A general Hololive Production server, and a general Holostars server. Obviously, there's a lot of channels in both servers, but especially the Hololive server, since its everybody, not just the girls. However, since I am a Holostars, I'm mainly gonna be using the Holostars server.
"I'm prolly gonna get a scolding from Shinove-san." I giggled nervously and scratched my head.
"Nah, don't worry. You're not gonna debut yet, so nothing serious as of now. What you should be focusing on really is your preparation for your debut."
"Hmm...oh?"
I grinned under my mask.
"Ah...an 18+ channel, huh? Kukuku." I laughed with eyes like those anime characters whenever they're scheming something.
"Un." Temma said as he wrapped his arms around my neck.
"We got REALLY good stuff there. Kukuku." Temma said.
I went in and proceeded towards the channel.
"Oh...this is some good shit." I said as I looked at a naked Suisei. I mean, I'm not interested in the real one, but Suisei's lewd fanart...today is a good day to fap, my dudes.
Matter of fact, my boner is begging me to jack it off right now.
"I know, right? Feel free to send some too if you're up for it." He said.
"Kukuku." We both giggled as the girls from both the kitchen and the lounge sweat dropped and looked at us.
"Oh? Oh shit, the girls are watching us. We gotta go back to normal, man." I said in a low tone before proceeding to go back to sitting straight.
"Ah, yeah. Ehem." He said as he also sat back straight and I exited Discord.
"Well, I guess I'll be going back to my room." I said.
"Hmm? Oh yeah. Wanna go to the cafeteria later to get a snack?" He asked.
"Sure. I guess it wouldn't hurt to interact with the Holostars every once in a while." I said while stretching my arms upwards.
"...Oh?" Temma said.
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Now that I think about it, you have a six pack." Temma said.
Just after he said that, I sensed a couple girls...no, ALL girls in this area snapping their heads towards me. I even saw Rushia and Marine look at me in my peripheral view.
"Hmm? Did my shirt show a bit too much of my stomach?" I said while breathing out from the stretching.
"Yeah." He chuckled.
I sighed.
"Well, I guess I better go back to my room before these perverted ass girls start fantasizing about my lovely six pack." I said in a sarcastic voice while deadpanning towards my room.
"H-Hey! Just because you're really fit, you...!" Marine said.
"Shut up, big ass monster." I said while going to my room while putting my phone in my right pocket.
"Ass monster-" She jumped a bit.
"S-Shiro-kun, that's not a really nice way to talk to your senpais…" Sora said.
"Oh, sorry for my manners." I said to Sora as I looked at her for a split-second before continuing to go to my room.
I sighed as I hung my mask on a hook and sat in front of my computer.
"Alright...I guess I better practice a bit of freestyling right now."

MinecUwUberif
MinecUwUberif Author-kun here!!! Surprised to see that Shiina, who loves her brother so much, also hates men, just like how Shiro hates women? Oh yeah, and I hope my squarey bois found Adrik's backstory at least a little bit intriguing, fufufufu.
Not much to say here, really, other than hoping that you all enjoyed the chapter!
Cube QB outtie!
