Chapter 56-57 (1/2)

Chapter 56: Departure (2)

We saw the train ere supposed to ride on its tracks It was silver-ish, th and seems to be used only this once It looked new I reckon Sir Apollo was talking with the Captain or whoever will drive the train Several minutes passed before ere told to approach Silently, the sliding door opened ”It'll be the last ti

Blinking, I sht, Cain This is the last tihting inside the roo I also srant Like the smell on titan Academy rooms The smell of fresh flowers and scented oilEspecially on the inside It looks like a mini hotel! I looked at my comrades They didn't seem surprised This is so different from the trains I know The trains I know aren’t as beautiful or as clean or as fragrant I trodded on a carpeted hallway For fks sake, the hallas carpeted! This is ridiculous

I followed the room There were chairs, tables, sofas andht behind all these, I saw the small kitchen station I also took a peek at the compartments on the other end, in the direction we came froh For the last time, I was amazed at the useless economic system of Hesperia

Miss Aura and Sir Apollo went inside ”The Captain is at the front and will start the train, ” Miss Aura said ”There are crews inside the train for whatever we may need like food and necessities in the room and facilities Asday ahead”

My coreed But no one uys waiting for?” asked Sir Apollo ”It's only four in the et so in rest and sleep”

Cain yawned ”Yeah If that's the case, I'll go ahead guys Just wake me up when it's time for breakfast”

He walked to the opposite end of the train to his roo after Cain

”Oh well,” Ethan said before following suit

Luna and I went as well I slightly turned to Gin that was behind us I thought he'd go too But I heard Sir Apollo call him

”Wait, Gin”

I couldn't help but fully turn Why? Gin also needs to rest I looked at thehed Luna said that we needed to leave so I didn't have a choice but to go to our rooms There were five compartments that was directly across each other Inside each compartment was a small room with a white bed, cabinet and table with a lampshade on it The other three had already occupied the ones on the front so Luna and I went for the ones on the back

”Good night shi+a See you later,” she said, s her chosen room

”Good night,” I replied while looking at her till she closed the door to her room

The hallent quiet All I felt was the slight tre of the train I reentle breathing of nified that so inside my room, I chose to walk around I followed the hallway to the oposite side of the train and saw another living room like the one Gin was in I observed the silence of the place and the expensive objects I turnedthe s I approached and opened it slightly I found out it was a sliding door to a terrace outside

I glanced at the hallway I ca that said ere banned fro to the terrace I turned the doorknob open but it was locked I frowned My gaze wandered to the living roo I can use A letter opener was situated on top of the table beside the la the lock on the door It wasn't sharp but using the correct force I was able to open the keyhole Oops I heard the silent click I slightly pulled the sliding door and it opened I almost took a step back at the air that rushed at me So that hy it was locked The air rushed in and ruffled the curtains It was like a breath of fresh air because it was the opposite of the humid and silent atmosphere inside

I stepped outside to the terrace and closed the door behindfastEventhe as I tried to hold downwith the wind We were now on a wide field I didn't see houses anywhere The tracks were on an elevated place and I could clearly see the darkness around rasses and trees I wonder if it was an abyss below If I jump noould I live? If I escape noould I be able to?

I blinked at the thought No No I won't do that I've already decided I turned to the land before me I closed my eyes and felt the wind that touched my face and skin I knoe already bypassed the town proper where the majority of the people are Only the et out of Hesperia I held on the railings and leaned So this is it, huh? My last day in Hesperia

”A little push and you're dead”

My eyes immediately opened when I heard a voice I don't knothere I lost track of ti, I turnedon the railings likeit down

”Gin” I said out of breath

”Picking the lock with the letter opener and now leaning on the railing of a fast- train Very typical of you, shi+a”

My forehead slightly creased at what he said Is that supposed to be sarcas at somewhere and didn't even turn to ht His forehead that always creased when he didn't like what he saw, his eyebrows that slightly rose when you've done sohtening when he felt mad, his nose, his jaws that added to his intimidation, and his lips that sometimes frown, sometimes smile; when he s disappears and I see Gin -not as the Team Captain or the son of the Headet, the Gin from the messy family, the Gin that was second best, the Gin that suffered a pressure fro, the Gin that his father was never proud of

Gin turned to aze I fully faced hi my hand to touch his face, I felt him stop The place was quiet save for the cold wind that filled my ears and hit my back I wanted to memorize every detail of his face, from his forehead, to the tip of his nose, to his brows, to his lips

I once thought ere so different That we'd never be on the sa siht no one would be able to accept us I often wonder, why me? Of all people, whyhome in a place like hell and we found it in each other We made hell feel like home And I think that's theFlaws, mistakes, fears and all

But Gin has a life ahead of hi I was facing his chest and I know he looked down to see me

”shi+a,” his cohtly tremble It was fortunate that my hair covered my face so he won't see how hard it is for me to even hear his voice He touchedto be fine”

I forced a smile at what he said Gin, it's not I slowly lowered rabbed my palm to stopthe other hand that was on my chin, he parted my hair and held the side of my face Then he pulled me closer

Gin, can I ask you so?

I felt the hotness of his lips on ht shone soave color to the skyI responded wih the kiss, cherishi+ng every second of it Because I knoould be the last My eyes closed and my tears completely fell

Can you forgive me after this?

T/N:

It'll be the last tirounds – The exact words were actually “last step on the grounds of Hesperia” but I thought that sounded aard so I changed it to this

He's right – In the original, it translated roughly into soood” Anyways, it’s hard to translate so I changed it into so that meant the same in how it’s used contextually

Hope you enjoy the translation
