Chapter 37 - Old friends again?

Jerry remembered, his eyes still wide, staring straight down, looking at the girl who had just bumped into him.

"Gii? Is that you?"

The girl didn't answer, she looked around, and she tried to get up and pick up some books scattered on the floor. Jerry remembered, for some reason he hid the regret that was clearly visible.

His hands began to reach out, busy helping the girl, when all the books had been collected, Jerry stood up and stared at her silently.

"You're Ginieza, right? My friend when I was in elementary school?"

The girl lowered her head, then began to stare at Jerry. The girl... Has a very slender body, her white hair looks short and suits her, her eyes are green, almost like emeralds, her skin is so white, very white and looks pale. Her lips are perfectly puffed, a soft smile.

"Yes, I'm Ginieza, and you're Jerry, right? I remember, sorry for bumping into you and being too careless earlier."

Jerry gasped, one hand raised to scratch his head awkwardly, and then he bowed with regret.

"Sorry... I was angry earlier, I'm really sorry, I didn't know it was you."

I choked with amusement seeing him so regretful, with a mischievous tone and smile, I cheered on their speaker.

"But still, Jerry... Even with other people, you shouldn't be angry like that, it's not good."

Jerry turned his head, his eyes sharpened sarcastically, and his aura was a little angry.

"No one allows you to talk Kama."

My laughter came out with obvious impoliteness, a tone that sounded so annoying that it made the veins on Jerry's forehead appear to form.

"Okay, sorry I understand, I won't bother you guys anymore, see you Jerry, I'll go to class first."

Jerry answered only with a long sigh, still in tune with his sarcasm that didn't disappear and didn't escape.

I walked towards the door of my classroom, and once I was there... I peeked, seeing the two of them still standing with their own awkwardness.

"But that's a lie, I want to know what their relationship is further."

Luna stared confusedly at her seat then shook her head slowly trying to ignore me.

On the other hand, Jerry was currently... Still standing awkwardly, since earlier his hands had only been fiddling with his long hair, his eyes glanced a few times, and there were a few notes that almost came out even though they were slightly held back.

"It's been a long time since we met, huh, how are you?"

Jerry gasped, then he tried to look at her, looking at the eyes of the girl who was in front of him right now.

"A-Ah... Yes, it's been a long time, I'm fine, how about you yourself? And... How did you get to this school?"

Ginieza snorted softly, her typical innocent female chuckle escaped her lips, then turned her attention to Jerry.

"I'm fine, and coincidentally I'm a new student at this school, I transferred because I didn't fit in with my previous school."

"Really? It hasn't even been a few months, right? And you can already leave school? Why did you leave your old school?"

Ginieza smiled bitterly, a bead of sweat rolled down her temple at Jerry's endless questions.

"I'm confused about which one to answer first?"

Jerry glared, he awkwardly solved it, while looking away.

"S-Sorry... It's okay if you don't want to answer."

A soft and gentle chuckle escaped Ginieza's mouth, she started looking at her small watch on her wrist.

"Gii."

Jerry's call made Ginieza look up, seeing Jerry who now had a serious face, and... Something unpredictable.

"Aren't you curious about my departure when I was in elementary school?"

Ginieza answered, silence, none of them spoke to each other, Jerry realized the awkwardness, started trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"Ah... Don't forget it—"

Without having time to say a few more words, Ginieza turned around, and started running a little.

"Sorry Jerry I have to go back to class, see you."

Running so fast, even looking very rushed, Jerry sighed, messing up his long hair in frustration.

"Damn... Did I say something wrong?"

He also turned around, started walking to his class, and as soon as his eyes caught a small detail of my hair, his expression was visible.

"Damn bastard, did you hear everything?"

I came out, and revealed that I did what he had suspected.

"I only heard vaguely, what happened? At the end you guys seemed awkward? Do you have a past with him?"

Jerry sighed, and his hand reached out to pull my back collar.

"Don't ask, the teacher will be here soon, we have to get ready, and besides he's just a childhood friend, I owe him a favor.

I lifted one of my chins.

"So... Tsunderes can be indebted too, right?"

"Bastard!"

***

That night, the night when everyone should be asleep, the night when a young man like us should be getting ready to go to school as usual.

We stood in the middle of the silence of the night, in the cold night that seemed to bite our skin, but somehow... We felt a little excited? That was all answered from all the expressions of my friends who looked very calm.

"Aren't you afraid?"

My question was directed directly to the girls who were walking leisurely, Cestele shook her head slowly, Kaiira was also silent, and that one figure, Luna answered in a played tone.

"Why would I be afraid? I still clearly remember when you made our school that was previously destroyed into never being destroyed at all."

I chuckled softly, one hand rubbing my nape slowly.

"The school was destroyed?"

Those words came out of Kaiira with her usual confused expression, her mind wandering, while her face began to harden and her brain began to spin.

"Ah... That's right, Kaiira doesn't know anything huh."

Kaiira was still silent with confusion, while Luna tried to break into her daydream.

"No need to think about it, Kama and his friends are indeed unique, he has a power that somehow always surprises us."

Kaiira gasped, then began to wander through her memories that had happened to her before.

"Ahh... right, I remember, at that time Genta also said something I didn't understand, like behind the mirror or something... I forgot."

Cestele glanced, then spoke.

"So you already know huh? Now just think of their abnormality as something normal, then you'll get used to it."

In the midst of the conversation about and serious, Ray who was standing in the front row stopped, suddenly everyone froze when his hand stretched back widening his palm, as if indicating to stop.

"I just remembered one thing."

His words seemed to be stuck in the air, then hung without further explanation, we remained silent, watching him.

Ray turned his head, his expression looked innocent as usual, and more than that, the stupidity on his face was obvious.

"It wouldn't be complete without songs at night, right? Let's sing with our friends."

Everything reacts evenly, our lips appear to form a perfect horizontal shape.

"Stop your stupidity okay? I'm very tired, can we finish quickly?"

The tall figure spoke, a figure who rarely spoke at times like this, his left hand holding a cigarette, while his broad body leaned against the wall.

"Besides, Zaki doesn't keep his promises, he just said yes, then didn't come, I should have gone home and slept."

I chuckled softly, scratching my cheek awkwardly at the discomfort on Danji's face.

"I... I still have some cigarettes, Danji, sorry for disturbing your sleep."

My hand reached out with several neat cigarettes that looked perfectly prepared, as long as I had expected an incident like this.

He sighed, then his hand quickly took it.

"Alright guys, we have to hurry, we have to hurry to find the Moon Queen and find the kidnapped people."

Luna glared, her body shook slightly for a moment, her senses seemed to be shocked by something.

"People? So... It wasn't just one person who was kidnapped?"

Hearing Luna's question, Yadz interrupted to answer.

"After some analysis, it seems that there are many students who were kidnapped, not just one person."

Everyone tensed up hearing that, Cestele stepped forward a little, looked around, and her eyes widened, when she saw something.

"AHHHHHH!"
