Chapitre 9: The Most Beautiful Black Pearl
Tiara eyes and mine meet each other. Each waiting for a response from one of them. But nothing comes out.
"Uhum!"
Gen clears his throat, breaks the silence.
"So, the next question must be? How can you be reborn?"
"...Yes, why is that?"
Before let Gen answer the question, I touch my body where it was pierced.
"From your voice, you must be the one who saved me, right?"
"Oho"
"So you must seen the wound I had. And here I am, looking all fine, except how traumatize I am from the battle before"
Gen lift up one of his finger then answered.
"First, my explanation is based what I already know. Yet the information is simple and incomplete. So when you are ready, you must heard the whole things from your own Aditi"
I look at Tiara and see her serious face. She even nodded at me to make it sure, I have to do what Gen say.
"If you are understand. Let me tell you something might surprised you ..."
Gen stopped his words. I don't know why but he freaking stop when the serious stuff must be told.
"You curious?"
"Are you f***** serious?"
"Whoa there, bad words must be sealed far away from your mouth"
"So don't make it like a comedy scent you – "
Gen advance his right hand forward, requiring me to shut my mouth.
"I know what you want to say. You want to call me moron or some shyt, right. Yes, of course, I admit it. I'm a – "
"Moron"
Selene interrupted and connected the last word he wanted to say.
"You still mad?"
"Yes!"
Selene finally get out from her zone and back at her chair.
"Because you always wasting time joking around"
"That said from a girl that teasing me and delaying my departure to the battlefield"
"What?! You said wouldn't bring that up again?!"
"You forgot I'm a liar too"
"Wha – "
Selene almost cried. Even there is a tear want to come out from her eyes. But she hold that and gripping Gen's thigh when he come to her.
"You don't need to worry about our relationship, my dude. Because, despite of her looks, she's still like thirteen or twelve year old girls"
"Ha?"
What?
"But don't missunderstood here. I said they are like, doesn't mean that is true"
"I'm confuse"
"Me too"
What the freak is this guy? Is he really joking right now.
"Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!"
And now he freaking laugh so hard!
"Gen, I think you need to make things right before he get mad at you"
Tiara persuades Gen to stop his doing. Her act this time makes me quite calm down.
"He really is mad, right now. Just look at his eyes"
I don'w know how my eyes doing right now. But looks like I'm really at my limit, because Tiara look at me quite scared.
"Then don't make him get more mad at you!"
Her words using somehow odd. But the meaning is still can be understand.
"Okay-okay, I'm sorry. And you, stop gripping my thigh! It's getting hurt when you use your two hands"
Selene isn't calm down yet. She getting more angry instead and grip Gen thigh hardly with her two hands.
Gen soothes Selene and clears his throat before speaking.
"I'm sorry my dude. I'm doing it because there was a time I'm at your position right now"
"Get bullied by your senior"
Gen put his right hand at his chin. Thinking about past time.
"Something like that. But I think you are now more lucky than me"
"What's more lucky than getting teased and almost blow up your emotion"
"Getting teased and blow up your emotion and have a fight with your senior and almost burn a building near you"
What? Is that really?
"Yup, that is true. You can check a document about my first encounter as the Tenth Adetya Sterling if you want to make sure"
I frowned at his seriousness.
"That is true"
Selene asnwer my curiosness about Gen's words. She finally calmed down and want to talk.
"That's because I left while he finally woke up. Unfortunately, the first person he saw and gave an explanation of everything was that Japanese Guy who was both annoying and senior to him"
"Japanese Guy?'
Selene mentioning a man who come from Japan. I seemed to have read a document about him and watched a recording of his battle to maintain a reactor building walls alone.
"Adetya Sterling who uses a large katana as a weapon. Also second best attacker in our caste"
That's definitely him. When heard of his superiority, one question stuck on my head.
"But why you and him have a fight. He's your senior right"
"Because he freaking worse than me at through attitude. I don't know how about you, but I remind you from now on. When you first encountered him, just said that you are a hybrid"
"Hybrid? Why?"
"Because he freaking hate asian like him"
"What?"
"That's very confused, right. I know! You are lucky because I told you first about him before you really have a face to face with him"
Gen seems like quite angry right now. First he made other person mad at him, now he mad at a person who is not here.
His anger made him act strangely though, and no one response at his wrath. Just to calm him down, he only need himself.
"Uhum-uhum! Well, that's just ads that pass through before we start the main event. So, what's your next question?"
"Dude," I take a little breath before continue, "at first there are only a few question that stuck on my head. Then you come here, and added a few, and several more question to my head before answered any"
"Is that true?"
He lift up his right hand slowly to his head. Below him, Selene stares cruelly then talk.
"You are wasting our time, Gen"
"Eh, he he, is that true? Ah ha ha ha, I'm sorry. I always get distracted by any topic and straying away from the main topic. Ha ha ha ha!"
That's only him that laughing. Selene and I stares at him cruelly. And there is Tiara, who smiled wryly at what was happening now.
The atmosphere is very awkward when he won't stop laughing before someone respond. So I started talking and re-raising the main topic.
"Before we get any further. I want you to answer the very important question"
"Hm hm, okay we'll get serious here. What is that?"
Here I glanced a little at Tiara and Selene before continuing. Their response somehow warmhearted, especially when I glanced at Tiara. She give me a really smile that I couldn't hold the bright of her.
"Who are they? Are they native of this world?"
"You just answered your own question"
So it was true.
There was no question in a few moment. But when I look at Tiara, another most important thing comes out.
"Then why they are called Aditi? And what's our connection? Between Ti – this girl and me"
Gen doesn't answer my question directly. Maybe because I failed to say my Aditi name in front of her. I peeked at Tiara and caught sight of her who felt a little sad.
"Let me ask you a question first, my dude?"
I'm trying to focus at Gen first before make things right.
"Do you regret being born again?"
"What?"
I don't know why but Gen seems looking at me very seriously. I even peeked at Selene and look her turned her face away.
"No I'm not regretting it"
"Then why you look like rejected Tiara present?"
That is the problem. I take a breath before explaining why. Then when I'm ready, I faced Tiara first.
"I'm sorry. It's not like I don't accept you. But it's just, too many things I have to face and solve. Even my mind would blow up if I don't hold up things. Then here I am. Being told I had just been reborn and connected with a kind girl. I just too confused right now"
I crossed my legs, held my head and looked down. At first I didn't feel it, but right now, my head really felt like it was going to explode.
Just when I want to close my eyes, a very gentled hand embraced me. Pushed my head against her shoulder and said.
"Don't worry. Everything is going to be okay"
The only person that can calm me down is my mother. Yet this girl, Tiara have a try and succeed.
My head feels lighter. I even feel like don't want to get out of it.
"You are very lucky, my dude. Loved by the most beautiful pearls"
