SAYA'S CONFRONTATION

"Player Status." Shiro said in his head. He was in the bathroom with Kohta so he couldn't speak it out.

"That's a lot of change, especially to the free points." Shiro stared at the panel while Kohta just spoke. Shiro didn't listen to anything being spoken by Kohta.

"Two points to each stat," Shiro ordered and it all changed numbers accordingly.

"I'll have to pick a class soon." Shiro thought.

"Hey, are you even listening?" Kohta's yell interrupted Shiro's thoughts.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something." Shiro apologized.

Kohta nodded. "I see. To summarize all I've said so far. We're gonna be leaving this estate pretty soon. We've got a Humvee and it's almost fixed. We'll get it back and hit the road."

"That's great. I'll be heading out early again to do a little clearing of the area." Shiro replied.

"Are you insane? That was dangerous and you wanna do that again?" Kohta scolded Shiro.

Shiro just smiled and shrugged. "No, I'm not. I'll be back before you know it."

Kohta shook his head repeatedly. "I'm not happy about that."

Shiro stood up from the tub and gestured to Kohta with his hands telling him to calm down. "Relax, It'll be fine."

"Are you heading back outside now?" Kohta asked when he saw Shiro stand up.

"What am I? Do I look like a bot? I need to sleep man! I'll head out later, so by the time you come out, I'll be asleep."

"Okay, fine. You should sleep on the bed instead. It's too big for me alone." Kohta replied before Shiro got out of the room.

"Nah, the couch is better for me." Shiro walked out of the bathroom.

"What's with you and Shiro? He speaks and you're ready to comply at once." Saeko interrogated Hina in their room.

She blushed a bit. "It's a secret…" Then her face changed. "... and I know that whatever Shiro says won't get me in trouble so I'll always listen to him." She smiled.

Saeko couldn't push further so she nodded along. "That's fine by me. Turns out, you were right. Shiro's strong. Strong enough to beat me within twenty moves."

Hina smiled brightly when she heard Saeko's compliment. "I told you so."

"You're amazing too. It would be tough to win against you in a one-on-one duel because of the weapon you use. You wield the spear with threatening accuracy and flexibility. It's as if it has become a part of you.

"Thank you for the praise but I don't think I could win against you though." Hina responded to Saeko's words. 'Except it was a death match though.'

"Your sword movements are not wasted any bit. It's like you're the blade itself. I can see perfect control just like Shiro. You two are really related by blood or maybe something even deeper than that." Hina's eyes went cold by the end of her speech.

"It's nothing serious but I guess a swordsman's blood really flows in us." Saeko stood up from the couch in the room. She wore a purple silky nightgown that rhymed with her hair color.

"I'm heading to bed so… Good night." Saeko walked to the bed and climbed on top.

*****

Early in the morning, as early as four, Shiro was awake. He wore a black shirt and shorts and picked up his red sword. He sneakily headed out of the room and walked out of the building.

Saya couldn't sleep so she sat on a chair on her balcony, staring at the building's surroundings.

Then she spotted someone walk out of the building and walk away, toward a certain gate. She immediately knew who it was. When she spotted his red sword in his right hand, it no longer became a suspicion but a fact. No one else but Shiro would decide to leave the estate through that gate, at that time. She didn't say anything though. He would hear from her when he returned.

Shiro spent an hour outside killing and killing so he would level up. When he returned, he met the guard standing at the gate. Without wasting any time at all, Shiro picked up a stone and threw it in another direction and when the guard walked there to inspect it, Shiro climbed the fence and entered the estate before dashing away.

"Hey, what were you up to?" Shiro froze at the sound of the voice.

"Well, I went out for a minute to clear my head." Shiro replied, knowing Saya was the one asking the question.

"That doesn't explain the blood on you, right?" Saya rested her back on one of the pillars of the building, folding her arms and staring at Shiro.

"Clearing my head went both ways. Also, I'd feel safer with lesser undead around us so… I'm sure you get the hang of it." Shiro shrugged and walked in.

Saya walked close to him and spoke with a threatening voice. "I don't know why, but I don't like you. I'm warning you, do not get us into trouble, and don't think you'll separate us."

"I have no plans to get you all in trouble, and I don't see why I have to separate you guys. Also, I never said you had to like me." Shiro shrugged again.

Saya blushed at his last words. "Do… don't get me wrong. That's not what I mean." Standing in front of Shiro made her realize he was pretty tall. Tall enough that she had to raise her head when speaking with him.

'He's tall.' She admitted and then went ahead to continue the compliment in her mind. 'And handsome.' She blushed.

Shiro smiled l, scratching his head. "Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. But all the same, you don't have to like how I behave. I'll only feel safe when I know there is a lower amount of undead around us each day."

"Hmmph. I won't warn you again." Saya grunted, raising her head

Shiro placed his hands on her arms and lifted her. Her face was totally red this time. "Wh… what are you doing?"

He ignored her and just moved her from his front to the side. "I get it. I won't cause trouble." He nodded and walked into the building.

'He's strong.' Saya was lost in thoughts after Shiro left.

I'm really really sorry for the last two days. Things happened and I couldn't publish. As an apology, I'll publish two chapters today.

Thank you all.

Please, check out my book: Reincarnation Of An All-Rounder. It's great though.

Thank you in advance.
