101 Avatars
27. Zenri's Testimony

That afternoon, I sat in the back garden of the faculty while observing the development of slanted news on the internet about me and Kaiser, precisely Kaiser as the Hero of Red Blood and me as…it still feels hard to say, Blue Batboy.  I wish there was a better name that society would give me.

I also observed the development and still there are many sloping news scattered about us with hundreds of malicious comments as well.  Although I believe that these malicious comments are only the work of boosters paid by the government.

“Adrian what are you doing?”  Suddenly, a beautiful melodious voice that made my heart growl, came from behind.

The smell of her breath that was as fragrant as her chest that was so soothing also felt giving a strange sensation but full of pleasure right at my nape.  The color of the sound is no stranger to me.

I immediately turned my head and it seemed to be true, she was the goddess of my adoration, Nafisah.

“Ah, Breath?”  I panicked as I was about 50 cm away from her, afraid that the smell of my bad sweat drenched my lapels in the hot sun, to the point of staining the purity of her tiny but sharp nose.

“Ah, sorry.  I surprised you huh, Adrian?”  Nafisah said with a friendly smile.

“Ah, no really.  I just..hehehehe.”  I answered wrongly with behavior that had trouble finding excuses and then I covered with laughter.

I saw Nafisah looking at me gently.  A moment later, Nafisah asked again, “But what do you see on your smartphone that serious until you forget lunch?”

For a moment, my face blushed at the attention Nafisah gave me.  My goddess knows that I haven't had lunch.  Ah, pleasure!

“From the fourth floor, I happened to see you coming out of the lecture hall and then sitting in the garden as I walked into the lab.  After exiting the lab, apparently you are still in the same position even though it will be two o'clock soon.  What makes you forget lunch?”  Say back Breath while glancing at my smartphone screen.

I thought, I'm a spit.  Where perhaps Nafisah deliberately noticed me.  He must have seen me by chance.  However, having a moment like this with him, is enough to make my heart se. Eh?!

Again the face of Nafisah was too close to my face.  Duh, I hope that my goddess of worship does not listen to the noise of my heart.

“The formula is so yes.  Adrian is also saddened by the matter of news hoax Red Blood Hero and his partner Blue Arrow Knight.”

“Blue Arrow Knights?”  I asked for astonishment at the words of Nafisah.

“Eh, Adrian don't know?  In the group, many talked about their dislike of Blue Batboy's nickname for the Red Blood Hero's comrade.  That's why we agreed to replace him as the Blue Arrow Knight.  Doesn't Adrian say, the nickname of the Blue Arrow Knight seems more elegant?” Nafisah also answered my question with cute.

Seeing the beauty of God's creation that can express as expressive and blanket, the beauty of God that I can deny.

“Blue Arrow Knights yes, sounds good.”  I smiled with excitement at the cooler nickname given to me.  Moreover, I first found out through the melodious voice of my goddess.

“Sorry Adrian, you waited a long time huh?  Yuk, we're going to lunch now.  Uh, there's Nafisah too apparently.”  Suddenly Bobi's voice came from behind and greeted me.

“That kid!  Why didn't he look around before greeting me?  Though, I still want to be alone for longer with Nafisah.”  My name is in my heart.

“Oh is that?  Coincidentally, it seems that my sample is time to translocate to subvirtual c.  If so, I go up first.  Bye bye, Adrian!”  Nafisah was accompanied by a friendly smile while leaving the three of us, namely me, Bobi, and Zenri who came with Bobi.

But why do I feel the sadness of Nafisah in his first sentence?  Could it be that not only me, but Nafisah was also sad when she parted with me?  Could it be that my feelings for her were really not love clapping one hand?  Does Nafisah have feelings for me too?  Just thinking about it made my heart so excited and excited.

However, if only it was just my misunderstanding and I would be rejected when expressing my love to her, thinking that was all, my guts instantly shrieked.  At least a little longer, I should plan a more mature approach to her before declaring my love for everything to be more certain.  At least, there is hope if Nafisah likes me too.

“What date?  I just haven't expressed my feelings yet.”  My reply to Bobi's words in a limp tone.

“Spirit Bro!”  Bobi said again, this time with a smile that somehow makes me feel mocked.

I sighed while throwing my eyes to the ground.  A moment later, I said, “How about we have lunch bread at the Bernard Cake Shop?”

“Agreement.  You see, in less than an hour, we have a third lecture.  The queue at the canteen at this hour is quite dense.  Faster if we buy bread in the building next door only then eat together in class.”  Bobi immediately agreed to my proposal.

“What do you think, Zenri?”  I then asked Zenri, the chatty one, who inexplicably fell silent.

“Oh, I, uh.Yuk we're there.”  Zenri agreed to it.

But why do I feel something awkward on Zenri's expression, especially when I say Bernard's Cake Shop?

We walked to the next building to order some bread from the cake shop.  But halfway through, I saw Zenri suddenly stop stepping while holding back his Bobi clothes.

I was astonished to ask, “What is Zenri?”

Zenri did not respond for a moment so Bobi also spoke, “Zenri?  Why is your life so weird?”

“That's, I can't say.  You have Adrian here.”

“Hey, isn't that a little rough, Zenri?  Adrian it's our friend.”  I saw that Bobi immediately dismissed Zenri's words that seemed disrespectful to me.

“Not so.  When we were Junior High, the people in our other classes were considered friends.  But because I couldn't keep my mouth shut and unknowingly exposed things I shouldn't, they got into you.  This time the same.  I still can't trust Adrian even though he's a friend because it's related to someone's fate.”  Zenri's words were accompanied by melancholy that was not as he usually looked.

“Who do you mean, Zenri?  Is this about me?”  Bobi also asked about what Zenri meant.

However, Zenri shook his head while softly saying, “Not.  This time the problem belongs to someone else.”

“Hah.”  Bobi then sighed while patting Zenri's shoulder.

A moment later, Bobi then, said, “It's okay, Zenri.  Trust me.  Adrian is the one we can trust.”

“If you say so, Bobi.  Well, I think I can trust Adrian.”, too 

I refused that if Zenri did feel I did not deserve it, I should not listen. After all, it is only natural that there are one or two secrets that do not want to be told because of various considerations, including to friends themselves which of course will not break our friendship.

However, Zenri detained me on the grounds of wanting to trust me as his true friend. In the end, Zenri began to tell the secret he had hidden before me and Bobi.

Upon hearing the secret, neither I nor Bobi, could help our surprise at whether Zenri's words were true, so Riri, one of the three sisters of the bernard's Cake Shop keeper, said, he is a monster avatar.
