Against the Inevitable Destiny
CH 61 - Shio Feelings

As soon as we arrived, I turned to a place then saw a woman running towards me.

Behind him, I saw a man who was quite similar to him, but instead of being beautiful, he was more apt for the word handsome. The two of them were none other than Shio and Sho.

“Shio slow down.”

Shio ran fast enough that it left her brother quite far behind.

As soon as Shiori arrived near us she turned her head towards us then said.

“May, Riyu, I can finally meet you guys. If you are still not in school, I will visit your place. I won't forgive you if you don't watch my show. Um. Are you all right?"

Mei didn't go to school the last few days, it was because she took care of me. Even though I said that it was unnecessary, he still insisted. Well, I didn't lose anything so I accepted his decision.

But, maybe because of that, Shio seems to be worried about our circumstances.

In addition, he also seemed to be eager for us to watch his show before school graduation. Or maybe he just wants me to see the show? Um, that's just my feeling.

“May, Riyu, How are you?”

Not long after, Sho arrived near us and then asked the same thing as Shio.

“We are fine. What about you guys? What are you guys doing here?”

Mei smiled towards Shio and greeted him back.

“We just want to ask you about your news. But besides it-”

Shio turned his attention to me seriously.

"Riyu. Where the hell are you going? I've been looking for you for 3 months and still can't find you."

Shio seemed to have no idea about my situation. But that's good because it's so troublesome if more people find out. My identity might be exposed because of that.

After all, I'm not someone who wants to be famous or anything like that. I just want a normal life, at least during my time at school. It was also the reason I wore a mask when I appeared in that Yozora City.

“Sorry, I have some work, and I can't contact you that long either.”

“I'll forgive you if you treat me.”

Shio looked at me with a seductive and coquettish look. Well, I don't know what he's up to?

But whatever the plan is, unfortunately, there are allies near me.

I turned towards Mei then looked into her eyes for help.

In response to my smile, Mei smiled gently, as if she wanted to do a good deed. Then he said.

“You can go. I have another job to do. You guys can have fun without me.”

Eh? Wait for. Did I hear wrong?

Did he just hand this little bunny over to that cute wolf?

But. Without waiting for my approval, he went somewhere with an amused smile. I don't know if it's because he's having fun with my situation or because of anything else.

But despite that, I could only sigh.

“Hah... How about you Sho?”

I saw Sho who had been silent to see our interaction.

“No. I just wanted to take my sister and greet you. After that, I'll have some things I have to work on.”

He said calmly as if nothing had happened here. Well, he may be aware of some things, but he may be more focused on other things for now.

“So. By the way, how are you doing about it?”

“A little more, and I'll make it.”

"Is so. Well, there's no need to be too hasty. Also, take care of your health because I know you seem to lack rest."

Hearing what I said, Sho just smiled a little.

“OK, we're done with all that. Come Riyu.”

Shio pulled my hand to leave. And Sho who saw that turned towards somewhere.

[VIP canteen ]

We went somewhere to treat Shio something. After arriving at her favorite place, instead of eating with others, she asked me to go to the VIP room because she did not want others to disturb her.

Um. I forgot to tell you. Shio is actually very famous in this Academy because of his amazing music game. Well, I have no doubt about it because our meeting started from the music as well.

Although rarely accepted the invitation, but it did not dampen its popularity in singing, especially in playing musical instruments.

Of course, these are some of the things I learned from him in the last few years. I didn't know about him back then because I didn't receive news of such a world. That was especially after I decided to focus on training.

After we arrived in a room, we sat on a pillow with a table in front of us. We wait for food to be served. And during that time, we talked about a few things.

“By the way how about your concert? That's in a minute, right?”

I asked him about the concert he was going to hold soon.

“It went smoothly.”

“Good.”

It became quite a quiet situation because Shio seemed to change from a while ago when we were just the two of us. Right now, he was like he was in his mind. I don't know what he thinks I don't know, but I don't bother him and just wait for him to talk.

After a few minutes, he suddenly moved as if he had decided on something. She got closer to me and unexpectedly snuggled up? on my body.

Damn it's comfortable. Uh, I mean it's really bad.

“Ne, Riyu.”

While my mind was muddled, Shio's gentle tone had awakened me from my chaotic thoughts. But it wasn't enough to stop my shock, so I could only say.

“Ya?”

“Do you hide something during your disappearance during these 3 months?”

I was even more surprised by his question because I didn't know, why did he know that I was hiding something?

I looked up to see his eyes. And after I looked at him, from there I knew that at least he doubted his question, as if he was just guessing about it.

So instead of answering, I asked him back.

“Why did you ask about it?”

Hearing that, Shio buried her head on my body and slightly gripped my shirt. Then he said.

“Because.. I felt something strange during the events of 3 months ago. I don't know what it is but I feel like one of my family could have died if it wasn't for you. Weird isn't it?”

“.... Um.”

I couldn't answer anything but nod my head gently as a sign of agreement. That's very strange indeed. But, after that dream, I became more open-minded about it and thought about some possibilities.

Some time passed and we were still in our current state.

“Riyu..”.

Shio finally looked me in the eye again, after he had long enough to bury his head in my chest.

He looked into my eyes deeply and his grip grew tighter.

“I love you.”

He said softly and quietly with eyes full of love and seriousness deeply embedded in his words.

We were still staring at each other and had subconsciously shortened the distance so we could even feel our breaths with each other.

And when I opened my mouth, either out of surprise or wanting to say something, Shio suddenly approached and-

“UM.”

He kissed me. Her lips were sweet and soft feeling like cotton candy in my own mouth so I had subconsciously responded to it.

After some time passed we let go of each other after a few more times.

Okay I admit it, the second one is from me. This was because of a strange feeling that prompted me to do it again. As if Shio was unbearable to me? Or is it so?

Sighs. I don't know why I feel like I'm having a scabbard or something like that. Damn, why are such eyes so effective on me.

Hah... (sighs) I have to talk to Mei, or maybe she already knows?

But, when did Shio fall in love with me? Well, come to think of it, she seemed to have been close to me since the beginning of our meeting, but why did she seem to have fallen in love with me even before we met?

And by the way, why does the waiter here seem to be a bit late?
