2267 Words
"Don't ask me about it since it's none of your concern," I said. I don't want to appear pitiful, and I don't want him to believe I'm hideous because of a man. He asked, "Why do you always act tough when you're carrying a lot of burdens?" He is constantly annoying, and I despise how he appears in my life. "Stop talking to me!" I screamed. I try to run away from him, but he grabs my hand and turns to face me. He said, "Wait." I try to shake his hands off of me, but he grips me even tighter. "I swear I'll murder you if you keep touching me!" I cautioned him. He let go of his umbrella, exposing the two of us to the rain. "Then kill me," he whispered as he removed his hands from my hand and hugged me tightly. My heart suddenly stopped beating and then began to beat very quickly. This stupid man, how dare he touch someone like me, a member of a well-known clan? I wanted to push him, but for some reason I can't explain, I let him hug me instead. What exactly is this feeling? "Hey! Allow me to go! " I yelled. I pushed him away and let go of his embrace. I slapped him across the face and said, "You're so bold. Don't even think about approaching me! Don't bother following me! " I said this as I ran very quickly. He didn't chase me this time, and he was just standing there. He's a strange individual. I really want to punch, kick, and slap him, but what am I feeling? This can’t be happening; I will always be loyal to Takahashi. Because of the rain, I was drenched when I got home. The guards rush towards me, concerned because they see me crying. "Who hurt you, master?" inquires one of the guards. They helped me get to the mansion's interior. My mother arrived and inquired, "What happened to you?" She looks worried at me, but I don't have the courage to tell her what happened today. "I'm not going to talk about it," I said. I went back to my room and cried some more. "Stupid," I muttered. I want to sleep and think of Takahashi, but the image of that unsightly man named Yuu keeps flashing through my mind. I want to sleep and dream about Takahashi. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep. The dawn has arrived, and I have opened my eyes. "Hey, you are awake," I heard a man's voice say. I was outraged when I realized it was Yuu. Is it possible that I'm hallucinating? Why do I keep seeing him in my head? This is insane! I check his cheeks to see if he's genuine or if I'm imagining things. He's warm, and it feels like he's real. "Hmm? Why do you keep brushing your fingers across my cheeks? ", he stated I instantly realized that he was present and that I was not hallucinating. I yanked my hands away from his cheeks and became enraged. I screamed, "What the hell are you doing in my room?!". I yelled, "Get out!" "Hey, take it easy! I assumed you were pleased to meet me, "he stated. "Well, I'm not. Now get out of here! " I yelled angrily. He crossed his arms and declared, "No, I won't." He's being a jerk, and I despise him. "How did you gain access to my room?! I'll inform my mother that you broke into my room! " I made a threat to him. He doesn't appear to be disturbed in the least and is simply chuckling while resting against a wall. He simply smiled and said, "Go ahead and do it. Tell her about it. She is the one who allowed me to enter your room". My mother gave him permission to enter my room. I'm so pissed off right now that I think I'm going to cut this man's skin off. My morning has been completely destroyed. "I don't give a damn! Get out of here! " I screamed. When my mother heard me screaming, she went into my room. My mother inquired, "Why am I hearing a bustle here?" I'm furious with the two of them. "How could you let him in here?" I inquired. My mother simply sighs, as if she is embarrassed in front of him because of my actions. She explains, "He stated he was concerned about you because of what happened yesterday." I despise how he acts as if he cares. I despise how he acts as if he isn't the cause of my fight with Takahashi. He's a master of deception. "I don't need his concern," I explained. He said, "Hey, why are you being so harsh on me?" "Why am I being so impolite to you? Is it obligatory for me to treat you with respect? I have no idea who you are, "I stated. I got out of bed and left the room. I'm so pissed that once I have my breakfast, I just want to get out of here. I sat down at the dining table, and the maid began serving me breakfast. I strive to remain cool and express my gratitude to our maids. I'd like to take my time and be at ease. I want to get rid of the bad vibes in my head and stop thinking about Yuu. He said, "Hey, you're here, and I'm delighted you're eating." Oh, my goodness! I wish to live in peace! I just want to be at peace, and this dude has just disrupted my tranquility for a minute. "Could you just stop bothering me?" I asked. "I'm not bothering you. I'm only here to sit with you and have a meal. Is that an issue? "He inquired. "Yes, it is, and simply sharing the same air with you is something I despise, so quit breathing and die," I muttered, rolling my eyes. "Well, I want to share my lunch as well as my air with you, so let's eat together," he remarked with a smile. I just can't get this dude to stop talking. He appears to be enjoying his dinner, whereas I am irritated and enraged. I just attempted to consume my food while ignoring his presence. "Please assist my daughter while you go to the town to play," my mother requested. He simply bowed and added, "I'll take care of it, so please rest assured." He gives me a friendly smile. "I don't need anyone to help me!" I smashed the table. I equipped my clothes, fixed my hair, and walked outside the mansion like a lunatic. I went for a walk around town, ignoring the guards who offered me a ride. He continues to trail me, which bothers me. "Stop following me!" I screamed. "I won't," he responded with a giggle. I want to slap this guy in the face. I went to Takahashi's apartment. When I knocked on his door, a lady opened it, and it was Tori. "Hey," Yuu says to Tori, waving his hand. Tori just looked down and muttered "Hi" to us, as if she was really shy about us. When we looked inside, we noticed Takahashi was having his breakfast. Yuu dashed towards Takahashi and joined his dinner without hesitation. "Come in and see what I've prepared for breakfast. Please don't be shy, and come along with us, "she said. Takahashi appears to like the breakfast Tori prepared for him. Tori appears to take excellent care of Takahashi. "Wow! You're a professional chef! " Yuu was astonished. "Yes, she can cook, and I'm pretty surprised," Takahashi added. "Yes, because other females don't know how to do fundamental life skills because they live a luxury life," Yuu replied, laughing as he looked at me. "Are you talking about me?" I asked, staring him down. "No, I'm not referring to you. Are you asserting that it is you? "With a dumb expression on his face, he inquired. I chose to ignore him. Tori hands me plates and spoons to dine with. I tried Tori's dinner and was blown away by how delicious it was. She inquired, "How does it taste?" "So, well done! It has a delicious flavor, "I stated. When I compliment her, she smiles a lot. She has a sweet and innocent appearance. I don't dislike her and have no ill feelings toward her, yet she makes me feel very insecure. Maybe it's because she lives under the same roof as Takahashi and Takahashi likes him that it makes me so insecure. I know Takahashi never confirmed it, but it's so evident that he didn't have to tell us. Takahashi has already put on his equipment as we finish our meal. We're ready to play another game and confront the possible doom that awaits us. "Tori, join us," I urged. "Thank you," she responded flatly. She doesn't appear to enjoy going outside or playing at all. Takahashi explained, "She doesn't like to play." Yuu simply smiled and tapped Tori on the shoulder and said, "Stay safe! We'll return later! ".. We exited the building and entered the lobby. Now is the moment to see and put Takahashi's bow and arrow skills to the test. I despise fighting Takahashi, and I don't want him to be harmed. I'll kill every single one of them, and everyone who tries to kill him will perish at my hands. "Takahashi, get ready right now." Yuu acted as if he was threatening Takahashi when he stated that. I lock my gaze on him, as if I'm warning him not to try to kill Takahashi. He simply smiled at me, as if he didn't realize anything. "Please don't be harsh with me because I'm still new to that game and this is my first time," Takahashi explained. Yuu gives him a slap on the back and says, "I'm not serious! Take time to practice and enjoy the game ". The Arrow Void lobby was our destination. I'm not sure, but Takahashi has my full attention. I hope he didn't get hurt. Takahashi is walking ahead of us because he appears really excited. "Don't you dare target him or you will die," I warned as I grabbed Yuu's arm and stared at him. He looked me in the eyes and whispered, "I'm not afraid of you." "Guys!" "Come here, let's go," Takahashi yelled. Takahashi has expressed an interest in participating in the game. He inquired, "What are you guys talking about?" Yuu simply smiled and answered, "Nothing, to be honest. Let's go have some fun ". I despise Yuu's habit of forcing and feigning a grin. I can tell how much of a liar he is every time he smiles. We entered the Arrow Void game, and all we have to do now is wait for more players to join us. Our adversaries appear to be extremely tough, and most of them are men. Takahashi is quite small in comparison to our opponents. Will I be able to defend him against all of these foes? The game has begun, and Takahashi appears to be in good shape. For the time being, I don't intend to shoot the tile ground. What I need to do now is draw other people's attention to myself so that they will attack me instead of Takahashi. I run incredibly fast and try to bump into some players, hoping that they will become distracted and begin to target me. Some players have already set their sights on me and are now pursuing me. When the other player fires an arrow at the tile ground near me, all I can do is run and avoid the void. Other players have begun to exploit the players who are distracted from me, and some of them have already fallen into the void. While sprinting, I kept an eye on Takahashi, checking to see if he was still alive. Someone shot a ground tile near Takahashi, almost killing him, but he managed to stay alive. He said, "That was close." Yuu was the player who was on the verge of killing Takahashi. He was smiling at me, as if he was trying to put me to the test. How dare he? He's such a jerk, and I swear I'll kill him. He'll die in my hands. To avoid the missing ground tiles, I began to run very quickly and jump very high. I'll go after Yuu until he's gone from this game. I swear he'll come to regret shooting just one arrow at Takahashi. I sprint towards Yuu, but he doesn't seem scared of me; instead, he smiles at me as if he really wants me to attack him. Don't underestimate my speed or power. I started shooting arrows at his tile ground, but he was very fast and managed to escape. Even when I shoot arrows faster, he is still able to dodge the missing tiles. He's just laughing and dodging the arrows I'm shooting at the tiled ground nearby. He comes to a halt and tries to aim at me. He shoots an arrow several times without bothering me, but there is one arrow that will completely wreck my game. An arrow lands exactly where I am stepping on the tiled ground, and there is no way for me to get away. I don't have the option of avoiding this void. I tumbled from the tiled ground and closed my eyes, thinking I was going to perish just like falling into a building.
