Watching the sunset and feeling the breeze, me and Miho are still in an awkward way of talking, moreover after what happened at the bus. But in those awkward gesture she does, there were still untrusting feelings towards me. I just gave her those "yea yea I know" replies to every of her stories. She is an interesting person I think, she's also gave that impression of a cute girl trying to be more gentle. But I get that she was still uncomfortable with the situation, and I was getting tired either.
"Miho, I was thinking, it's probably best if we get home soon. It's getting late, you might get sick, no?" I said to her.
"Oh, yes. Maybe we should get home. But do you want to continue the tour first? There is an ice cream shop by that street. Or do you want to go to a restaurant?" She asked me.
"Well, if it is food then let's go."
She then smiled and got up. "Let's go!" she said, and showed me the apartment rooms where "coincidentally" our rooms were side by side. After I've put my stuffs down, she escorted me to a traditional Japanese restaurant next to the apartment. We went there and hoping to have a Japanese dinner together and get along but, guess what, the bus driver came in! Yes she came. And from what I've heard, she's Anzu Kadotani, the Student President of the Ooarai High School.
She brags in with two of her henchmens and sat infront of the kotatsu-like table. Shits got real when she ordered the 'sake', some traditional beer here I guess.
"Prez! Don't drink sake! You're not mature enough!" said the girl named Momo-something.
"It's fine! After all, 'sake' is just a code for juice!"
Momo sighed and reversed her view back to me. I don't know why exactly but, by the look in her eyes, we weren't getting along so good. I ordered the same 'sake' like Prez and being brought a grape juice. Meanwhile Prez got an orange juice. So I get that this thing is random, and quite interesting.
"Abdy, would you mind taking this sake with me to that private room. There's a lot to talk about with you." She suddenly said.
I then just take the sake with me to the private room which she already reserved. She sat there with a mischievious smile as she (maybe) always does, and ordered some Japanese snacks. I appreciate her politeness, and just eat what she served.
"So, what do you want to talk about with your Specialist, Ma'am?" I asked, earning a smile from her.
"Well, as always, welcome to the team, Officer! You are just in time for the matches of our life!" She said. It made me rather more pleased than pointed by a gun at the bus.
"But you know, our top priority is making sure you are not the culprit of the shooting." She continued.
"Here we go again..." I think to myself.
"Are you sure you are not the culprit? It looks SO clear to me. Since you have no alibi, and you got degraded by your company, I think it's best for you to confess."
I sat there with the door slightly open, and didn't realized that. And I think I went too much to finally express myself.
"I just got here from the court that charged me for doing nothing, and now I'm sitting here, with the person I believe the one who charged me and made me degraded in my career! So fuck you all, I'm just here for the contract. Have a good day, Ma'am!" I yelled and made the whole restaurant to stare at the door. I opened the door to have Nishizumi, Momo, and the other henchmen being surprised after listening to our conversation. I then just left them and went to my apartment room.
I went in, and threw myself on the couch. I opened my phone and played the playlist where I play when I'm sad (or depressed I guess (or just normal stressful stuffs idk)). The sounds of bass in every EDMs I heard always sounds so nice in my ears, the arps and plucks, and pumping basses made me feel better. The percussion sounds good too. Maybe it's the apartment room that made those door-knocking percussions sounds felt real. The vocal chops sounds like it was calling my name too...
Wait... I'm just deluting right?
"Abdy! Please open the door!" I heard Miho's voice calling my name while she knocked the door.
"Fuck she's at the door!" I ran to the door and touched the knop slightly, I realized she was probably just want to blame me more. But she's cute, so fuck it.
I opened the door, and there she was. She looked concerned while crossing her finger (no, not religious means. I'm not satan). She then held her skirts as she looked shy. I get the tension to say sorry now. I feel I regret to make her feel guilty like that.
"Uhm... I'm sorry about the incident in our tour..." She said.
"I wouldn't call that an incident." I ironically said.
"Ah... I mean... About our doings to you after you arrived. We are sorry too, that we did charged you for the incident at the match of those other schools. The idea was because of me. Because one of the victims is my sister..."
"Maho Nishizumi?"
"Yes... And... I regret that we were unconscious about our doings and went too far."
"Well I guess if reserving the street and a private room for my arrival wasn't too much, but charging with no evidence, that's what concerned me. Just pull of the charge for apology." I said a bit relived.
"About that..." Her eyes went to her corner.
"What?"
"We can't pull the charge." She said while rubbing her head.
"But why?!"
"Actualy, other schools are..."
"Charging me! Oh, how come I possibly forget that?! Of course other school are intervering... You guys won the tournament right? And Kuromorimine was the runner-up. Of course both of you had huge influence to other Sensha-do things."
"That's partly true."
"Not partly."
We stand there with exhausted aura from our eyes. I sighed and let her in.
"This ain't much but, at least I got H2O."
She sat next to the couch and lean on it. I opened my can of cola, and started to sip it. I sat at the door between the living room and the kitchen. She looks nervous, and wanted to say something. I got myself frustrated and ask her.
"You have problems with me or not? Speak up." I said.
"Ah... Well, you are still needed in the competition... So, do you like Tanks?"
I sighed, and put my cola. She seems dissapointed and scared.
"Yea, especially the Panzer IV and the Leopard. And probably Hetzer, BT-7, both Tiger, Mussolini's big guns that I don't know. Or probably Pattons slut tanks." #GaymerEpicKnowlegde101
"Wow..! You know much."
"Yea, I play games of it. Anyway, what's up with it?"
"Well, we were given a chance to buy a free unexpensive vihicle for you, and I just wonder what you would like." She said.
"Ok, now that's hot. What's the budget?"
"5 Million Yens..."
"Where we buying it?"
"Probably other school's second-handed, since that budget will also includes shells and supplies."
"Yea, I agree. Ok, when's the shoping?"
"Maybe the next day after tomorrow. Are you free?"
"Saturday? Yea I'm free for a date. Just call me for updates."
