Chapter 25: Another one down.
Saku surprised that Shirley's know he saved her back then.
"How did you know?"
"Yoshika and Lynne. They said they couldn't bear the feeling lying to me about you have save me."
Tch, Yoshika, Lynne you girls are good girls but sometime too good to be annoying.
"I even know you fly faster than me, too."
"You noticed?"
"Of course I do, just when I enjoying the happiness of broken the sound barrier, set a new speed record. And you appear from nowhere and broke that record right when it just made. Did you know how I feel?"
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry, so what you want to let it glide?"
Shirley went silent to thinking for a while, Saku feel uneasy while waiting but he has no choice. But then a grin appear on her face and Saku feel that a good sign at all.
"Ok, I'll forgive you-"
"Oh, then what you want? There no way you gonna easily forgive that, do you?"
"Pretty clever, I'll forgive you but you have to do for three favors."
"Eh?! Do you think it a bit greedy?"
Suddenly, Shirley's cover her face and whimpering.
"Oh, poor me, a jerk saw me naked and now he doesn't want to take response for that."
She obviously pretending, Saku could see that but otherwise she right he should at least do something as compensation for her.
"Tch, fine, whatever you want."
Shirley put down her hand and winked her eye like mocking him.
"Well then, first, kiss me."
Saku's surprised, all of everything thing why she chose kissing.
"Uh, can I ask the reason for that?"
"This morning, Hartmann said there something very interesting about like kissing will make us see something amazing. I'm really curious about that, so kiss me." Shirley said as she puckers up.
Well if that what you want.
Saku kissed her and saw her past. Shirley has born to farming parent with two little sisters and two little brothers. And it do like Minna said, Shirley used to be a motorcycle racer before joining 501 st, and she broke a lot of speed record, also. After she set a world record of 286 km for hour, Shirley volunteered to the Witch Corps to challenge the speed record further. Since then besides fighting with Neuroi, she also trying her best to set a variety of altitude and speed records. Saku was admired her passion about speed at that moment.
After gently push Shirley out, Saku noticed Shirley was seem exciting.
"Saku, you're from another world."
"Yup!"
"No wonder, I fell something off from you - "
Shirley's look really exciting for a moment but soon her attitude turn to sadness.
"But, your parent…"
"It's ok, besides, I seen your too. I have heard about how you fascinating about speed but witness by my own are still impressing. You're truly amazing, Shirley!"
Shirley seem really please when Saku praised her.
"Ah, put that aside, there is a lot of thing about your world I wanna ask."
"Ok, but that would consider as the second favor, right?"
Shirley nodded and then Shirley start asking and she's keep going nonstop. She asked any kind of thing like what it world look like? How fast people in that world could archive? Any kind of thing. Which the thing he know he will answer her, thing he doesn't know, he made it up. No one here to point he was wrong so he doesn't care. But it's still tiresome, if Saku meet her before in his world, he definitely tell that her go ask google.
For god sake, what the hell did she think I am? Encyclopedia, huh.
Shirley only stop when she noticed it was mid night already. Besides, she done check the Striker's engine, so she's prepare to hit the bed.
"Ah almost forgot."
Shirley's return and took of Saku's jacket then give back to him.
"Thank for your jacket, it really warm."
"Heh, good to hear that from you."
"There still a lot I wanna asked you so do prepare. And one more thing, if you can fly faster than now you have to tell me.
"Why?"
"So I could upgrade my Striker to fly faster than you."
"Seriously, Shirley, how fast do you want?"
"I do want to break the sound barrier before. But now I want to faster than you."
Shirley sniggering then run away, leaving Saku standing alone in the hangar. Normally, he'll hit the bad too, but there something he has to try ASAP. Saku's check his skill and Shirley's image's visible. He activated it and this time is supper speed, no, Flash Step is most correct. Combine with his intangibly Shadow form, that Flash Step look almost like Teleport.
"Shirley, you fascinating about speed, but even your power is about speed, I like it."
Saku activate 'Shirley' and use it to run from the hangar to his room in just moments.
"Damn, now this is what I call speed."
Before enter his room, Saku take a look the Witches section.
"Five down, six to go. Wait, maybe five to go." Saku said as he enter his room and hit the bed.
