Chapter 161: Getting to know each other

The rain was still falling all over MidiCity, it seems that the parasite as a last plan to not die, entered my mind, he made me see a nightmare to confuse me and weaken me at the moment, it was raining, if he leaves he knows that I would not have a chance to finish with him. I was being abused by that person who always messed with me, and not only him, also my friends and my best friends, Menhera and Rino were throwing shit at me, I could not believe it, I knew that something was wrong, but I could not resist to be affected by those words coming from them, it is the first time after many years that I can listen to them again, it was horrible that first contact.

If Syl hadn't shown up back then it would have happened for sure like that day at school. I still can't believe that person finally achieved their goal, I had progressed in something I thought was impossible, we all looked forward to our first year in high school, at the entrance ceremony, I was a completely different person when they met me.....I changed for the better thanks to them, but that person...destroyed everything.....

『*sigh*It was just a nightmare, if one day I see him again, I'll pay you back for all those years you wanted to see me suffer, it will be my turn for me to make fun of you now.....』

I was already out of the nightmare, I was thinking about what happened and what I would do in the future, *pom* I heard a small rumble next to me, Ailane with her last strength managed to kill the parasite herself, and with no more she could do she fell to the floor.

『I told you we'd become friends!!!! It's a promise!!! Keep your end of the bargain!!! Brat!!!!!』

I was in my Lucario Form trying to heal her with all the power I still had. Quickly that new place where Ailane fell was filling up in a pool of blood, I could only hear in those moments my loud panting and the raindrops falling sharply.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ailane opened her eyes, when she looked around she noticed that there were 2 sections in the place, if you went forward it was a path of light while if you went back it was a path of darkness. Ailane was in the center, she did not avoid looking at each side to see which would be the best path for her, the little girl smiled, quickly the dark side began to gain more ground, swallowing the light.

Ailane had already chosen her path, without much hesitation she walked down into the darkness.

『I can't be selfish, it's one of the things I hate the most, after everything I've done I don't deserve to be forgiven, I recognize my place and this is where I must end, I managed to end a part of me that was burdening me, that's enough for me to be at peace』-『Since you left it was already destined how it was going to end...』

Ailane without opposing his words and satisfied in the last few hours, kept going lower and lower in the darkness, her chest started to ache, her legs were getting weaker, wounds started to appear, her arms broken and her whole body was filling with blood.

『This is how I must end up, in the end we all end up dying, I mustn't of why be scared...I mustn't be scared...I mustn't..... I don't want to.....』

Ailane clenched her teeth and fist to keep from crying, her eyes were trembling but she would still fearfully continue on her way so she could finally rest.

『Wait!!!』

Someone stopped her path, Ailane heard a voice that would slowly become a familiar one, M in his Human Form had appeared grabbing her hand to stop her from going any further. The young man was breathing heavily through his mouth, Ailane was surprised by his appearance, where he quickly changed his expression.

『You are very stubborn boy, leave me alone now, nothing can be done at this point, I will not let you stop me, I no longer belong to that world of light, right now the place where I fit more is here, I am satisfied with what I did, I managed to destroy a little music with the bands I attacked, I could see my brother again and exchange a few words..... and a certain person said he accepts me as I am, that's more than enough, I'm happy, now go away your presence bothers me』.

Ailane was lashing out with her words, she was being sincere to a certain extent, but I knew, we all knew that it was all lies.

『Stop bullshitting and listen to me brat!!』-I shouted aggressively-『Why is there a need to hide what you want? I've met people like you *sigh* they look strong and all that, immovable mentality and all you want, but in reality they're weak and don't want to accept it!!!! Stop acting like it's all your fault and accept it, even if you want to deny it you were manipulated and innocent, that's the truth, are you satisfied now? Cut the crap! Do you really want to leave it like that? Leave without doing what you really want to do? Did you really hear the music? Have you already made peace with your brother? Have you already apologized to the whole city and the people you have attacked? And besides, you still don't keep your words, you are one of those who never take back their promises, if you go to hell, I will take your hand to go to heaven and be friends!!!! I still want to be your friend Ailane!!!!!』

I lashed out with strong words, Ailane was left without how to react, but one thing I knew, that my words had come to touch her, since long before, since I took her hand she has not let go of it and squeezed it tightly, Ailane began to cry, the darkness lost ground and the light more and more and more.

『Thanks.....thanks....thanks』

The little girl's wounds were being healed as her blood disappeared, the darkness of this place finally disappeared completely.

『Damn, you just wanted someone to tell you that you were wrong』.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ailane opened her eyes slowly, her body no longer ached at all, she felt no discomfort, as she opened them fully the first thing she saw was the young man in his Lucario Form welcoming her.

『Oh, you woke up already, all's well that ends well that ends well, but.....that wasn't the phrase』.

The young man in a friendly manner was addressing the little girl, Ailane was still not processing what had happened, and was only making slight movements.

『How late are you going to keep sleeping? It's been 1 month already, stop fooling around and get active 』(￣⊿￣).

Ailane quickly by reaction stood up overwhelmed ¡¡¡¡¡!!!!! looked from side to side in surprise.

『¡¡¡!!!! A month? Have I really been passed out all that time?

『Of course not (-,-) It's only been about 5 minutes I think, look it's still raining, ha, you are easy to fool little (^～^)』.

What better than to lift up by making a little joke to this little girl who only brought trouble just because of her immature mentality and personality. I could quickly feel a threatening aura welling up from her.

『Do that to me again and hell will be a joke compared to me』.

"I got you out of there, maybe it was a bad decision, I saved hell from having a worse problem』. (ﾟДﾟ;)

『And don't tell me little!!! That's what bothered me the most』.

The intimidating aura disappeared from her, what she could now see was an annoyed little girl claiming why they did something that annoyed her. But of course, seeing that I had another chance, I decided to take advantage of it.

『But if that's what you are, a little girl, or not little girl?』('꒳`)

『Don't call me that!!!』

『Small』(￣ω￣).

A small argument arose thanks to that topic and teasing, every time she complained I just responded with the same words and gesture, it went on like that for a few minutes until she got fed up with the same thing.

『AAAAHHH!!!! Don't you have another insult?』

『...Little Girl』(￣ω￣)

Ailane finally got fed up, I could see how her face was really angry, she summoned her guitar and pick ready to play, she started to play enveloping the place with music🎵♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫🎵 I couldn't help but listen to her music and let it hurt me.

『I was just joking around!!! Besides I didn't mean it as an insult!!!!! That's what you are isn't it? A little girl, and I like little girls』.

...Ailane suddenly stopped playing when she heard the young man's words, she stood still as she listened to him, her guitar disappeared and she looked doubtfully at M.

『Lolicon?』-Ailane said bluntly.

『Ha!!!! Exactly!!! Here you have the number one lolicon lover!!!!! I will always prefer small and tender than to big and sexy, innocence beats perversion!!!!! Flat is better than 2 fucking things that look like tumors and just bounce around. What the fuck are those things! They make me want to puke just looking at them!!!!! Just imagining it is making me dizzy.....But well, and I'll end with a phrase: "A busty will fill your hand, but a loli fills your heart"』 ｡.ﾟ+:((ヾ(｡･ω･)ｼ)).):ﾟ+｡『Don't go stealing my phrase pirates』

I ended with the best possible pose of pride, I felt like it was one of my best lolis speeches, short but concise, although it's wrong, the love I feel for lolis can never be captured in pages nor in words!!!! Not even the infinite itself will resist so much to write how much I love lolis!!! I love them!!!

『...Why are you proud to say it?...It's disgusting』

Ailane, like any normal person, reacted as everyone expects.

『Wait! do you want to approach me because I'm ..... and you want to do those things...so that was your goal .... don't approach me .... with that if these people exist, I thought it was just a story to scare the girls...』

Ailane went on high alert staring at what I would do, I quickly fixed my eyes on Ailane who she didn't avoid letting out a little scream of fright and each time backing away. I don't know if these two started off on the right or the left foot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things had already calmed down, although Ailane still had her doubts with this boy, they both sat on the floor, side by side watching the rain pass by on this grey day.

『*sigh*I can't believe my first friend is a person like you....』

Ailane whispered not quite sure of her words, M wiggled his Lucario ears, he turned around so he could talk to the little girl.

『Right, we are friends now aren't we? I'm sorry about before, I just wanted you to have some fun, but it only brought the opposite, but that's also friends, each other's antics, but if you don't like them just tell me to stop and I will』.

Ailane heard my words and turned to look at me, she was staring at me with her eyes shaking, meanwhile I showed my friendly side with a smile, quickly Ailane turned her head away refusing.

『I'm not your friend』.

Hearing her say those words I was confused and then burst out in surprise.

『Ehhh?????!!!! ヾ[*≧д≦]ノWhat do you mean? Yes I still remember your words perfectly, you said that when this is all over we will be friends, don't be a liar little girl』 ⸂⸂⸜(ೆ௰ೆ๑)⸝⸃⸃

『Don't talk nonsense!!! I never take back my words!!! If one day you see that I don't do what I promise then you will be allowed to make fun of me, I only gave you the chance so that you could become my friend, you are still in the process, in the end we will see if you can become my friend....si....eso』

I could see her nervous with her mouth trembling trying to show a mature attitude, while I glared at her with little rice eyes（ーー△ー;）

『Also we agreed that I would agree to be your friend if you defeated me back then, be thankful better because I'm giving you another chance yes, that.....』

『Seriously? So it's easy then, you're recovered right? or you still want more time, relax, even if you delay your decision I will want to be your friend』.

I stood up and started to do a little stretching to warm up, Ailane heard the last thing again and stared at me deeply, she quickly lowered her head.

"『No, there won't be another time, with what happened before I understand that you gods are superior, I don't want to be humiliated and treated like an insect again, if you had fought with all your power I wouldn't have been able to do anything, but you decided to put yourself at my level, tell me, was it out of pity or did you just want to have fun in a fight?

Ailane looked at me serious and determined, before her eyes I also decided to become serious, although I quickly switched to my relaxed attitude.

『I just wanted the match to be more even and level, I wanted to know your level , what you are capable of and what I am capable of in those Forms, if things would have gotten worse I just have to use my ace up my sleeve, right?』

『Things got worse yes, but I couldn't see that powerful state you guys have, relaxation or confidence becomes dangerous, I keep in mind for the next time you face an unknown enemy, just a piece of advice』.

『Hahaha, you're right, but tell me, wasn't that fight we had fun?』

『Yes, it was fun, let's do it again if you like another day, maybe even learn how to use the power of music, well, you'd have to have a Melodisian』-『And one more thing, I'm glad you're sincere, I hope I can steal it from you a little bit *smiles*』

Both of us with the exchange of words with felt good and at ease with each other, but quickly something entered my mind with what he said.

『Right, anyone would have stopped her attack when she saw that someone without a chance was about to die, but no! The little girl forced the attack even more for me to die, at that moment I thought it was all over, I was disappointed in you and my little girl』

『...I said it.....I give my all with my words, I don't plan to ever take it back, rather you! You should be more attentive!!! Because of your idiocy you almost died! I could have dodged that water, I take back what I said about you having good reflexes』.

『Now I'm to blame.....』

The needle on the meter keeps changing from right to left in sudden ways every time these exchange words, but neither one is bothered, they are getting to know each other and discovering things about the other person better.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They continued to talk for a few minutes regarding previous topics, but little Ailane had something on her mind from long before regarding the boy.

『Hey young man, aren't you going back to your Human Form? Or is that form you're in now your base?』

Ailane was addressing me without any fear, I quickly looked at my whole body and scratched my head out of embarrassment of what I was about to tell her.

『The truth is that .... to be able to help you back then...』

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

M had jumped in before Ailane and Hiro clashed fists, Hiro at the last seconds raised his fist piercing the heavens and asking M why he had jumped in.

『HUYEEEEE!!!!!!!』

M shouted with all his strength, after all the words, Ailane decides to take them and escape from the place, quickly at that time in order to hold Hiro a few seconds, M tried to step on his eyes and make him confused, where the little boy stopped him without any trouble fingers.

『I already told you not to do things you don't want to be done to you, see you M, the Hero has to work!!!!!』

Hiro pushed me with his arms and without holding back gave a strong jump causing a gap in the place, I could see how this one without measuring his strength pierced the skies. I knew that this could end in something worse, but in the state in which I am now I could not do anything, so I decided to do the same as that parasite did on that occasion. I took off my clothes and dried myself with what I had, passing quickly to my God Form, but it was a long time after that that I found you in that building when Dagger was about to kill you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So now you're naked in your Human Form?

Ailane said without further ado where I raised and lowered my head in embarrassment.

"Aren't you ashamed? I wouldn't be able to do that』

『But there was no other way, if I hadn't done that you would have been dead right now, you leave everything aside when you want to protect someone, at that moment I didn't care about people seeing me naked while I undressed, I only thought about being able to save you Ailane, I still wonder, if I will meet another parasite like the one who possessed me, I think I would come to understand them』.

I told what happened, again Ailane stared at me and her eyes were trembling when she heard me, she had decided and stood up, the place where I took off my clothes, dried and left is in a laundry, it is one of the few places that was not damaged.

『You wait, I'll go get your clothes, and since it's in a laundromat I'll take the opportunity to wash mine, it's full of blood and I also need a bath, after all this all I want is to be able to relax *sigh* I really feel like a big weight is off my shoulders』.

The little girl was retreating when she heard some footsteps behind her, it was M who was following her, Ailane turned around so she could ask the boy.

『Hey, it's still raining outside, if you get wet people will see your miseries, stay better』.

『Nel, I'm going to accompany you, I feel you'll get lost if I let you go alone』.

『...Are you like a father or what?....Every time we talk I only know you're weirder.....』

With laughter from me and concern from Ailane we embarked on this little mission we had. I guess we would return to this abandoned building, it must be like the home of this little girl who escaped from her parents.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We were advancing through the city that surprised me by how fast it was, they were already repairing the disasters that Hiro had caused and that was only recently, they must already be accustomed and have their measures before these problems, we were advancing through the city by places where the rain could not fall me, but to all this I just realize something, we already passed through several places with many people, but no one has been scared to see Ailane.

『¡¡¡!!! We have to hide fast!!! You can't walk free in the city!!!! Maybe people didn't do anything out of fear, but if a policeman sees you he will surely act without hesitation!!!』

We were walking along the sidewalk where the track passed an ambulance and behind it several police cars, each and every one with their sirens on, I was surprised because they all passed by, they just ignored this danger they were so afraid of. Ailane turned to see what was happening to me.

『What's wrong with you? Nothing is going to happen to me, if you worry about what I did there is nothing to be afraid of, the day I made myself present it was Dagger who showed up on screen, I never did, I was cautious and always without standing out, the inhabitants and the police don't know what I did and they don't have to know either, the only ones who know are the gangs, and with them I still have pending to do, but anyway thank you for worrying』

Ailane stopped to tell me what she knew, she tried to calm me down with a smile at the end of her words, but I was still confused in disbelief.

『But....but you.....you are the Queen of Darkness , right?』

I said bluntly in front of her, quickly after a silence she changed her face to a confused and surprised one.

『Who is that? Lately there has been a rumor among the gangs that I am the Queen of Darkness, what nonsense is that, who gets a nickname like that? So that you also heard it, if you get into where you do not care, quiet, I'm no Queen--------』

At her Ailane's words I abruptly interrupted right at that words she said.

『Of course you are, you are a Queen Ailane, to me you are』.

The boy without hesitation said, because of how sudden it was even Ailane didn't avoid being surprised and blushing because of the boy's words, he said it so determined and with that look that didn't take him away from her eyes.

『The Queen of the Little Girls』ω･)و ̑̑༉⑩

I concluded with that last sentence, quickly Ailane changed her expression to one of anger, I could see the vein in her head become present, she was showing me her fist as a sign that I was worth dick.

"If you really continue with that, I won't pay for your clothes, or do you have money to dry your clothes?

With a threatening tone the little girl addressed me, I quickly became alert and bent down to apologize. We continued on our way and now that I think about it this time I acted like an idiot, I forgot that I already knew she wasn't the Queen of Darkness, as they say it so much here and refer to her as such in the end I ended up believing it too *sigh*. As we walked our route we stumbled upon that there was nowhere to shelter from the rain anymore, and the laundromat was a scant 5 blocks away.

『I seem to have come this far, you go, I'll wait for you here』.

I was suggesting to the little girl where she accepted without further ado, she crossed the track, even if she ran anyway she got wet, I was waiting and because of the cold I was trying to warm myself, I even sneezed and the snot in my nose appeared.

Ailane, who had already crossed the street, turned to look at me, she stayed a few seconds looking at me, where next to her there was a salesman who had also stayed waiting for the rain to pass.

I had remained sitting on the sidewalk to be more comfortable, although I don't know if it was better this or standing, I quickly noticed that someone was in front of me and a shadow that covered my whole body.

『Come to the laundry room, you can warm up there』.

Ailane was offering me an umbrella she had bought, I was grateful as I stood up, we both crossed the track while the rain was still going on, I was clutching the umbrella protecting myself from the rain, but Ailane was out getting wet, she could run but she preferred to keep up with me, although if it was like that I could run, but I would get wet.

『*sigh*Don't keep playing hard to get, there's enough space, come closer but don't touch me 』

I was talking to Ailane who turned to see me, I was looking at her determined that it even seemed like an order, the little girl had no choice but to listen to me, she approached the umbrella, now both of us could protect ourselves from the rain. Suddenly I heard a little sneeze, it was tender and warm, it was Ailane who had done it.

『In the end it will be you who catches a cold 』

『Shut up...』

We continued our way, as soon as we reached the sidewalk where the rain doesn't reach Ailane separated from me quickly, but when we had to cross the track with the same speed she came closer to me.

After a long walk we arrived at the laundry, and as I had said, in a part of the machine were my clothes, scarf, necklace, everything I had taken off, I breathed a sigh of relief to see that everything was there, but they were still wet. When I looked around I noticed that Ailane was not there, a door opened where the little girl came out, she had her clothes with blood on her hands while she was wearing a shirt and pants that give you the place to change.

I stared at her for a few minutes, until she asked why she surely couldn't stand it anymore.

『What do you have? You never saw a person in normal clothes or what?』

『No, it's just that you look so good in everyday clothes』

『This time I won't fall』.

Ailane was retiring with her clothes, although she was hiding it I could still see how her cheeks wanted to turn red, while she was preparing the machine to use it, she addressed me, we must take advantage of not only dry it and wash it all at once, the first thing I did was to take the necklace and put it on, to later everything else go straight to the washing machine.

『Oye!!!! What do you think you're doing!!!』

Ailane quickly stopped me, I was about to put my clothes in the washing machine where she had also put her clothes, I was confused by her reaction.

『You can't put our clothes together!!!! Use another one and don't do it again!!!』

"Huh? Don't you know how to save? wouldn't it be better to use only one instead of the other? ah no, I think you pay depending on the weight of the clothes.... right?』

『.....Just use another washer!!!! I have money to spare!!!』-Ailane lashed out in embarrassment.

"That didn't sound humble you know?

With another discussion on our list, we each set about washing our clothes in different washing machines, we watched the clothes spin and spin, waiting for all this to end, maybe it's to end this silence, but Ailane asked about the necklace I was wearing.

『To this, a friend more troublesome and angry than you gave it to me, don't you think it's pretty...she bought a set of accessories and gave one to me』-We watched the necklace that was shaped like a star-『Right now it came to me memories of when I was with them, although it was little that we parted, but I still miss them, every time I see it reminds me of lives and new lives, every person, that each one has their shine and will reach the top』

『I see, you are very sentimental』-Ailane said after hearing me-.

『Shut up...』

I was embarrassed, for some strange reason, Ailane started to laugh, I could see how her face finally showed a smile and innocent amusement, when she realized I was looking at her, she quickly looked away and went back to that mature face she wants to show. The doorbell rang, already besides washing the clothes, we have also dried it, we were both with our usual clothes and I could finally return to my Human Form. What surprises me the most is that Ailane's clothes came out nice and clean, no trace of blood.

『Hum, neither Ariel nor Ace is capable of so much』(￣^￣).

That's all we did that day, already for the next one it will be the bathroom, we went back to the abandoned building, we went into the place where I discovered something interesting, there was a room neatly arranged as if it was first class.

『Oh, I didn't know you were an Ojou-sama』.

There was a huge bed in the room, where Ailane without further ado throws herself as if she was a little girl, I was about to retire to let her rest in peace.

『Don't go, I still won't return the favor of saving me, you can sleep here as many times as you want.....』

Embarrassed but without turning her eyes, she told me straight and determined, I happily accepted, she moved to one side while I slept at the other end. Unsure she told me not to do anything weird to her where I replied that I wouldn't. We both went through so much that we no longer had the strength for anything, we fell surrendered to the softness of the bed and just closed our eyes so we could rest.
