“Huh? What’s that?” She blinked her eyes in confusion. “I visit Earth here and there, but I don’t live here. Sometimes I think I should buy an earth residence so I don’t always have to travel back n forth from Rubius.”

“Kamui. Who is that?” Rainy thought it was an actual person, not a fancy name for a portal.

“Aw, what’s wrong? I thought you 𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖉𝖑𝖊𝖉 me. Are you sure you don’t want another reprieve on that?” A dark grin appeared on her features.

“That’s a lie! I saw the bruises on Kawaki!” She gripped her fists tight. Lightning started to spark out from them. Little Rainy was getting pissed.

Using? How dare you suggest sucha thing? 😠 — a pause, eyes blinking. Other gentleman? Who?

Oh, really? How nice of you to care what I choose to do with my personal time. 🙄 He’s refreshing and a gentleman.

— randomly appears behind him. “Hey there, Mr. Kokatsu. Why are you telling lies to my dear friend?”

I don’t sense any malicious intent from him. You 𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐤 of it.

“Angels don’t just help mortals like us, Kawaki. Not without compensation or something in it for them. I’m not sure it’s worth it. I don’t think you should get involved.”

He’s not even from your branch or whatever. His name is Toneri.

“Say what?! You’re a real jerk, mister! How can you even be Kawaki’s dad? You’re so mean!”

You’re the one who made Kawaki what he is and makes him hate every member of your group, even the good ones!

“Nope. You’re not going to get rid of me so easily, mister! Kawaki is my best friend! He doesn’t deserve to be treated bad by you!”

O m g — shut up! You’re the whole reason this is happening!

// he needs to stop being dramatic and jealous! 😤😤😤

😭 😭 😭

Her hues shifted over at Okura. “Hm? What do you mean something’s going to happen? You mean with the elder or are you talking about something else?” Rainy didn’t need her mind wondering over the what-if’s. She was focused on meeting this elder and hoping he’d give them a lead on the gems. After walking a bit further, the entrance to the elder’s temple made itself known. Rainy lightly gestured with her head. “Looks like he’s over there. Let’s go see what he knows.”
