255 Ilogical to begin with (1/2)

For example, the imprint that was still clearly in the palm of her hand. She heard many tales regarding the strange mark, tales of individuals who had this mark.

Each imprint had different colours.

She heard from others the meaning of each colour, but out of all those colours she noticed she had quite an unusual one. The nurses made a big deal out of it when they discovered that she and Mamoru had the same one.

But when she and Mamoru noticed it their reaction was quite casual. 'Oh it's the same.' The conversation ended like that.

He was not the type to focus on such things, neither was she. But perhaps there was a silent agreement between them, that even if they didn't have the same that it wouldn't have mattered.

People always tend to believe in matters that connect them to another individual. In the end isn't that because 'Humans crave for love and attention?'

It was one of the few things she learned from Mamoru in the past. How right that statement was.

”Sumire-chan! Please hurry, we're already late enough as it is. Ah Aika-chan will get mad.

Her thoughts broke off when she heard Asami's voice.

”Right, right. ” Sumire said.

She rushed up the grey stone steps. Gee why on earth does the banquet have to be in a high location for. Truthfully speaking she wasn't exactly comfortable with heights. But she did not feel comfortable to disclose such information to Asami yet.

Alright, it should be okay if she doesn't look to the side at all. Just keep looking straight ahead and eventually they should arrive. Yet running in a dress isn't exactly ideal. Ah she wishes her dearest were here. Just like he suggested in the phone she would love it if he Princess carried her.

Either way right now Asami has it way easier than her, if she was only permitted to wear casual wear too then she would have chosen that over what she was wearing now.

She did ask about it but as expected the request was brushed off rather quickly. The elders aside, Soujiro would have probably said something along the lines of wanting to see her in a dress.

No not due to the formalities of a lady, it would most likely be the other reason.

Well even though it was quite bothersome at times. Sumire didn't mind it, after all it made the atmosphere in the main base much lighter.

All those people's gazes are dark and their smiles and laughter all gave her a bad feeling. She would rather get constantly sent on jobs rather than be stuck at paperwork duty in the main base. It's suffocating.

”Sumire-chan watch your step there is ---”

”Ran!”

”Gee you clumsy girl. Why wear shoes you cant walk in?”

Actually she wore slightly flatter shoes originally but they were old and broke. She should have known better than to ask Asami-san for a replacement she ended up bringing her very high heels.

He let's her go and turned to Asami who just ran back down.

”Iwa-san thank goodness you caught her.”

”There is a safer route then this passage.”

”Eh there is?”

”At the brand new park. It's indeed quite a detour but it's the path that's being used a lot since it's safe. Did you not see the sign?”

As she watched the two interact, she couldn't help but smile. In a sense it seems like they're getting along better then they were before. Sumire thought Asami-san who fan girled about male idol groups would react that way towards Ran but it was the opposite reaction. For some reason she seemed hostile.
