Chapter 89 Foreboding (1/2)
”Actually, Sylvia will be staying with us starting today.”
”...What?”
”I have already got permission from my parents. Wait, now that I think about it, there's no more room that's availa—”
Before Sheila could continue her words, Ria interrupted her with the question she wanted to know the most.
”Hold up! First of all, what do you mean that white-haired girl is going to live with us?”
She was caught off guard for a second when hearing the context of what Sheila said. Ria was confused at how the situation suddenly become like this when she had just separated from Sheila like 2-3 hours in reality. Did something happen in the Trial Tower while she was away?
”It means exactly what I was saying. Did I not explain it to you properly?”
”Isn't that obvious?! I would not have been this much confusion if you had properly explained it to me in the first place! Do you like to see me upset that much, Idiot Sheila?”
Ria shouted exasperatedly, but her words end with a cold monotone voice, and Sheila could feel chills creeping over her body especially at the end. Now that her nervousness has been washed away by Ria's cold words, Sheila realised that she didn't actually explain anything to the latter, which caused Ria to be confused at her 'sudden' explosive announcement. Sheila scratch at the side her head as she awkwardly laughed before starts to explain everything with Ria glaring at her with her scary 'deadly' eyes.
Ten minutes later...
”In short, you decided to bring that girl to live with us because her mother keeps abusing her in their house?”
”Yes. I have promised that girl, after all. I don't want to break any of my promises.”
”Promise, you said?”
”Well, I promised her that I'd show the way where she can find her own happiness.”
Ria couldn't help but widen her eyes as pure shock written on her face. She was not expecting someone like Sheila to make that kind of promise with a determined look on her face; after all, Ria knows that this girl is still quite an airhead. It seems that Sheila had changed quite a bit ever since that unknown app entered her life. Ria doesn't know if it was for better, but one thing that she knows is, no matter what choice Sheila would have to make in the future, As her best friend, she will be supporting her. Although I don't really like that white-haired girl, I still could tolerate her, maybe until Sheila find a way about it. Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but to sigh as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
”Now that I know the reason behind it, obviously I couldn't say no to this, you know that, right? If you had told me before the very beginning I would not have to get headaches for overthinking and wasting my time on this. Now that I think about it, I started to feel upset about it.”
Sheila breathes out a relieved sigh when she heard the first few words from Ria, but when it gets to the latter part, she was about to make a run but was stopped by Ria as the 'demon' gripped onto her shoulders with all her strength. Though Sheila could escape by using at most half her strength, she didn't do so and let herself get caught. It was her own fault for not explaining it properly.
After that, Sheila and Ria ended up spending time together until Sara came up and knocked on the door and said that Sylvia has already arrived, and she's currently in the living room. Sheila was surprised as she had thought of visiting the girl before walking her home, also expecting her mother to have a say in this. Sheila believes that her mother would definitely want to stop her daughter from leaving the house, yet here she is, sitting comfortable on the couch and only moved her attention away from the TV when Sylvia noticed the presence she had been waiting for is here. But she narrowed her eyes when she saw Ria next to Sheila, Sheila ignored the obvious reaction and decided to ask the question that she had been thinking about.
”Sylvia.”
