93 The stalking girl
“I’ll put my armor on…Show you how strong I am…
I am unstoppable.. I am Porsche with no brakes… I am invincible~”
Without minding my surroundings, I kept walking while singing one of my favourite songs.
“Okay, you can now show yourself.”
I looked back at the empty street.
Seeing no one coming out, I once again shouted.
“Is it fun following someone? What are you… a stalker?”
This time the words seemed to hit the right place.
From behind a big pole, a girl came out.
That blonde hair with those amber eyes, and the grace and elegance unique to someone who had seen through many people. The temperament that can catch you in awe upon the first meeting, she chuckled merrily.
“Never expected that you had the ability to be aware of the surroundings to such an extent.”
“It seems to be even better than our family which has been in the assassination business for quite some time.”
Not caring about the fact that she had been caught, she walked closer to me and stretched out her delicate white hand.
The whiteness and smoothness of her skin only highlighted the fact of how attentive of a person its owner was.
“It’s late but it’s still not that late for our introduction.”
“Hello, I am Claire. Your classmate.”
Seeing her expression, I knew she had been following me for some time after I and Mitshua left the class.
“Elandor”, giving out my name, our hands shook like it was a normal greeting.
She was someone with a character who I already had an idea of.
But I was avoiding her for now so that things would not get so entangled up…but she herself came to the door and it suddenly made things difficult for me.
“Why are you following me, Miss Claire? Is my face so attractive that you fell in love at first sight and abruptly decided to stalk me?” -I joked casually, meeting such unknown people you must put up a strong front.
“Hahaha, Sir Elandor really knows how to joke around.”
“Well for starters, there seem to be so many interesting things about Elandor that attracts me.”
“Aah, such words can mean a lot of things. It’s better to be clear what this beautiful girl means?”
-Narrowing my eyes, I replied calmly.
It was as if Claire had been waiting for me to speak these words.
She clapped as she further narrowed the distance between us.
“Like why Mitshua, who had confessed and was crazy about Shouta, was suddenly paying attention to you and giving us an excuse to sit and walk home with you?”
“Like how you had been sitting so absent-mindedly without any interest in such a prestigious university where people are busy taking notes.”
“Like…”
“….how you and Mitshua kissed? Wasn’t she the girlfriend of Shouta, so how?…..”
At this point I already knew, the bird was out of the box.
Further pretending would only put me at a disadvantage.
Under her expressionless eyes, I put my hands over her shoulder.
“Sometimes, it’s not good to know too much.”
“Especially young girls like you.”
I started increasing my strength over her shoulders.
“Lots of people die every day. Some get hit by a car, some get kidnapped, some get poisoned, some just disappear without any trace.”
“I wonder if Claire wants to be one of those people who suddenly disappeared from the world?”
Feeling my strong grasp, her eyes which had been expressionless finally showed a trace of panic.
‘Impossible, how can someone be so strong?’
‘I am already close to the MASTER level of strength, I am a prodigy with excellent talent among my peers; How I can’t even shake his grip over me?’
-in a single second, various thoughts passed through Claire’s mind.
Seeing the killing intent in my eyes, she realized how serious I was.
Yes, from the moment I discovered her following behind I decided to kill her without wasting much time.
She was too much of an unstable factor for me, people like her can do anything to satisfy their interests if provoked. I knew she was capable of becoming one of those craziest birches I had ever met~
But even though she does not care much about life, how could she die so easily? She had just found someone so interesting and mysterious for the first time. She wanted to unravel the mystery shrouded around Elandor…she firmly refused to die at this moment.
“I- I can help you!”
“You seem to be targeting Shouta? I can’t find any other valid reason!”
“I can be on your side!” “I can be your undercover agent.”
Gasping for air, Claire spoke everything in one go.
Hearing her I pondered over.
‘Will she be a trouble or not?’
My grip around her loosened subconsciously as I tried to with pros and cons.
Seeing the grip loosened, Claire heaved a sigh of relief.
As someone from an assassination family, she knew it was time for her to put out her chips.
The person standing in front of her was much stronger than her, there was no guarantee that she could run away.
She must speak something that can catch the interest of the other party.
“I know about the little sister and family of Shouta.”
Hearing her words, my eyes shifted to her.
“Three minutes…Prove your worth in three minutes!”
Seeing that she successfully caught my attention, like a prisoner being granted amnesty, she did not waste any time as her mouth opened non-stop.
“Shouta had deliberately written in his admission form that he is an orphan so that others would not know about the poor financial condition of his family.”
“He has a younger sister of 18 years of age and a sick mother. Both of them are very conservative and love their house in the slums. Shouta feels disgusted about the thought of living in the slums. With enough money, he bought a new house and moved in the next day, but his sister and mother refused to move out of their old house. And, you know what?”
“All his money comes from her sister who is working part-time to keep their family running!”
“Apparently, he told both of them that he is going to attend a prestigious university because of his high natural talent and will soon become a strong warrior admired by others, after speaking lies to them he left his house 5 months ago.”
“Even Mitshua, who he met 4 months ago while jogging in a park by an accident, doesn’t know about these details.”
“Only I know these things.”
