Capítulo 65: Chapter 4.29 - Zenith - You Give Love A Bad Name
"Damn." Crescendo protected his eyes as the wind was getting colder. "I think it's going to rain."
Then I told him, "Good thing you have this umbrella, then."
"I guess that's one way to say thank you." he shrugged.
I honestly don't know why did I ended up hanging out with Crescendo. One thing at hand at the time was that I still need to find out what happened with all of my group mates. I've been out of action for too long. I feel like I'm being useless to the group. I knew I shouldn't have worked too much last night. Had I knew that something bad was going to happen, I would have done that. But there's no way I can predict the future of course. I could only accept what's happening now and make my own judgement through that.
"So, Zenith. Are you warming up with me now?" Crescendo suddenly asked.
"Warming up? What do you mean?"
"I mean. Are you getting used to me yet? Because a couple of minutes ago you seem to be cautious of me. Not that I'm offended or anything."
I understood what he meant and said, "Oh no no no. That's never my intention, Crescendo."
Crescendo was glad, "I can understand that, Zenith. I mean, you would be alarmed considering that you already have a boyfriend like White."
As soon as I heard that, I quickly replied, "He isn't my boyfriend." my voice was fidgeting. "We never even discussed about that kind of relationship."
"You don't?" Crescendo sounded surprised, "Well that's unfortunate. You two seem to be great together. Why don't you two ever discussed such a thing?"
I don't know where he was leading me to but it's not like he was badmouthing me or anything. He probably just wondering why I always hang out with White.
And so, I explained to him, "Well, I don't know how to say this...but I really do hang out a lot with White last semester but something happened at the end of the semester that I don't really remember what it was. So I ended up forgetting a large portion of what happened last semester including the time I hung out with White."
"So what happen now?"
I continued, "My best friend was able to recall a few things that I've done last semester and now I'm trying to rebuild back what I've lost, I guess."
"And one of that is befriending with White?"
"I guess so...but I don't really know if we ever been in a relationship like what you implied just now."
Crescendo was disappointed and said, "Jeez. How complicated can you be. You're giving love a bad name, you know."
"I don't think I'm getting you across...I just said that I'm not White's girlfriend."
"But that can't be. How can someone share a number of secrets with each other and not be considered as more than just friends or partners?"
At that point, I finally took notice I realized that Crescendo was getting a bit too close to me. And one more thing, why does he sound like he knows the two of us very well.
I asked him, "How do you know that we've shared some secrets with each other?"
"You don't know that? Well, your friend Yumiko had probably spill the beans to me. But she didn't tell the secrets of course. It's not like she knows exactly what you two are talking about."
"Wait hold on..." I'm not stupid. I noticed something weird, "I thought Yumiko don't know who you are. Didn't you two just briefly met just a couple of minutes ago?"
As he was about to speak, suddenly we were interrupted by the sound of an announcement from the large speaker that was placed all over the campus.
The speaker announced, "Hello everyone~ This is your favourite number 1 idol of Infinity Academy, Yumiko Iliana Pavlova. Considering that it is about to rain, some activities might need to be stopped. But in the mean time, I'll be entertaining all of you. From now on until the end of the day, I'll be taking over the announcement speaker and I will be your host for the day. But now, I'll start by singing one my many songs. Enjoy~"
And that was all there is.
"Yumiko?" I said to myself.
A few seconds later, Yumiko began singing a song through the speaker. So it looks she's now taking over the announcement speaker. No one seems to mind it much considering how soothing her voice was. I think this was all thanks to her real ability that she has been keeping away from anyone but me. Its pretentious but she calls the ability, No.1 Idol and it's basically releasing a magical aura with certain effects according to what she sing. It's a pretty simple ability. For now, I think she's just singing an average soothing song and it was able to make everyone becoming calm. Even I was becoming calm.
Now that I'm starting to calm down and be more collected on my thoughts, I remembered back what I was doing a moment ago.
I tried again, "Hey, Crescendo. You didn't answer my quest..." but he wasn't in front of me anymore. "Where is he?"
"Right behind you, monster!" Crescendo suddenly pulls out an iron choker with chain.
He proceeded to to lock the choker to my neck.
"W-what in the...What the hell is going on, Crescendo!" I tried to use my ability but I couldn't. I fear that it could be because of the choker.
"Don't call me that. I am Lord Crescendo. And you are just a mere reincarnation of a dragon."
"Ugh...Why?! What is going on?!"
"That's enough." He touched my forehead until suddenly my vision began to get hazy and dark.
I could still hear his voice...
"No one disrespects, Lord Crescendo. You are just my pet and you must act like one..."
I couldn't hold on to whatever spell that Crescendo had cast on me. I tried to reach out my hand but I didn't feel nothing but air. I feel nothing but air. Nothing but...air...
"White..."
