Against the Inevitable Destiny
CH 70 - Admitting to Everything

“So like that.. I did see how Shio-chan feels, but regarding sensei, I didn't think she would fall this fast.”

Mei said softly showing that she understood what I was explaining.

Well, there you have it, I did explain what happened today to May. Not everything. Some of the things that happened between me and Scarlet Senpai I still keep secret, at least not in detail.

I'm just explaining that we accidentally kissed in an accident. Well, it still sounds terrible when I say it myself.

But don't mind it, more importantly, does he really know all that? And is he really okay with that?

To be honest, it is strange to see that your lover is still this gentle even when she hears that her lover (i.e., I) is kissing, or being kissed by another woman?

“You know it?”

I asked him to confirm it.

"Um, something like that. After all, Shio-chan doesn't really hide her feelings for you, after all."

“Yah, indeed. ha ha.”

I laughed wryly, seeing how it did look obvious.

"And about sensei, do you think I don't know about you teasing him?"

“Ugh.”

His words were like an arrow shot straight into my heart.

I know, man, I'm not good at hiding that from her. But still hearing it directly made me bitter.

And to be honest, the sour taste turned bitter, very unpleasant, you know.

A few minutes passed and I admitted everything in May. Ugh, that's a little wrong. More precisely, I explained everything to Mei. About how I met Scarlet, how I felt, or something like that.

And after I explained it, she seemed to have her own thoughts, but fortunately she did not show any rejection.

At least, I have his permission, or so I thought.

“By the way in May, do you know anything about Shio? Why-”

“He fell in love with you?”

*cognize*

That was my confusion all along. May may have known it so I asked her.

“No, when I first met him I only knew that he seemed to like you. I thought you did something to her, didn't you?”

“No?”

“Why it becomes a question.”

“Yeah, because I'm not sure.”

But I don't remember knowing him when I was a kid, after all he was on another continent and I lost my feelings back then.

“Then, it's best to ask him yourself.”

"That's all I can do."

“Um. I want to know that too. By the way Yu, it seems that it is still not all, about Scarlet sensei.”

“Uh, as expected of my lover.”

Mei smiled, unable to hide her happiness from the outside.

I don't think that Scarlet Senpai would mind sharing the matter with Mei, at least I wish we could find a way to help her. But I was a little hesitant to explain Scarlet's problem because it seems that it should be her privacy. Well, even though I broke it.

“So?”

I still hesitate to say it, and when I want to say something.

“Better you explain everything in May, Riyu.”

Before I could say anything, Maya came out of the automatic door and said something like that.

“Maya..”

“Senpai, when are you here.”

“Sorry, May. When you guys discuss something interesting, I can't help but eavesdrop.”

It seems like he is still working at the moment because he is still wearing his lab clothes, but from there, he might still be able to hear our conversation. Merely, why did he decide to appear at this moment and say something like that.

"Do you know anything about Scarlet Senpai's condition?"

“Senpai, yes. You may be the only one who can call him that. And yes, I know a little about it from Suzu senpai's story. But let's talk about it next time. Like I said, you better tell me everything. He might be able to help solve his problem.”

Suzu, I remember that beautiful woman again. He is still in that place, however, and rarely visits me.

Well, no wonder he found out about Scarlet's condition. But let's focus on Scarlet's condition for now.

“Why do you think like that?”

“Did you forget about his energy?”

“Energy?”

(standing)

“Ah, true ENERGI.“

“I almost forgot Mei's energy because she overused her lightning energy. I guess it will help, though I don't know if it will be effective or not.”

“I don't understand what you guys are talking about.”

Mei said as she tilted her head for not understanding what we were talking about.
