86 The Favourite Person
After walking for roughly 10 minutes, I arrived at the boys hostel.
Things were quite simple, after showing my admission form to the guard I was allocated a room at the ground floor. There weren’t many people living in the hostel in the first place as most of the people had their homes in the same city.
After taking the keys of the room from the guard, I arrived to see if the room was worth living.
Thankfully, the room condition was good, only 6-7 seniors lived in the entire building and the rest of the rooms on all the three floors were empty, giving me a deep sense of privacy.
The room was well maintained and had an attached bathroom and kitchen.
“Well, these living standards pass my criteria .”
With a swipe of my hand, various furniture which were piled up in my storage ring appeared filling the empty room.
Beds, wardrobe, sofas, tables, chairs, blankets, crockery, basic biscuits, coffee etc all your daily necessities which I had bought in advance in my last world really came in handy at this very moment.
I made a cup of coffee and sat on the sofa.
While savoring small sips occasionally, I thought about some things.
“Well, this Erin atleast had some decent cash in his credit card, it makes things easy for me until I find a way to earn.”
“So let’s see how to act upon Mitshua..”
“Even though she was Erin’s childhood friend with ambiguous feelings, she must have felt betrayed when Erin suddenly left her and went to a foreign country, right?”
“Seeing how much she cared about what Shouta would feel when I kissed her, it’s clear she must care about him a lot.”
“I guess it’s my luck that she had only once held hands with that Shouta guy, it gives me a very weird feeling if she had a more intimate contact with that Shouta.”
The aroma of the coffee was really intoxicating and helped raise the ambience in the room~
Elandor once again checked the memories of Erin that he devoured so as to not miss out any details and info the deceased Erin had collected after stalking Mitshua secretly.
“Judging from the memories, the most plausible explanation would be upon suddenly losing Erin, Mitshua met Shouta, she got some attention from him and eventually started sharing various daily talks and stuff with him.”
“Basically, she found someone else to transfer all her remnant feelings for Erin…it’s gonna be a bit tricky to enter her heart.”
“It’s very hard to separate when you find someone to confide in, and if the other party is like a protagonist like Shouta who is very good at lending his ears for you to confide in, the difficulty increases further.”
Elandor’s tone became subtle as he relaxed his body against the back of the sofa.
Stretching my neck to the fullest as I enjoyed the softness of the luxurious sofa, I contemplated…
“It’s okay!”
“In the first place humans are creatures that want to know more about things that interest them.”
“The things that you know the best become your favourites….”
“….The person you know the best will be your most precious person.”
“Then how can Mitshua herself?”
“How can she not be obsessed with Shouta?”
“Then I guess I just have to become her favourite person.”
A smile crept up on Elandor’s face as he put the emptied cup of the table.
“Okay, now let’s go!”
“Enough idling around, need to go market to buy some groceries and other basic stuff I missed.”
As I got up and took off my shirt I once again admired the nail marks left on the back of the shirt which had torn it at various corners.
“It’s gonna be a difficult cat to tame.”
After changing his shirt, Elandor walked out of the room.
…
Unknown to Elandor, at a corner of this city, in a church most of the priests and nuns were lying in a pool of blood.
A young priestess who had fallen in a well just woke up.
She stood on her toes and looked above.
“It’s the retribution for stopping me from meeting Shouta, now you all had to die”, she exclaimed in a lamentful tone.
“Poor souls, May the Lord have mercy on the souls of the sinners.”
“I told them that me and Shouta were destined to be together till eternity, it was the will of Holy God itself but they didn’t believe.”
“Sinners who question the Almighty must die!”
She looked around but it was too dark.
“How can I get out of this well, its walls are too high.”
“I still need to meet Shouta, I must honour our promise.”
Above the well some people dragged the young girls they had just captured.”
“Hey, we had a good time”, said one of them.
“Yes, killing all these weaklings was not a big deal, the best part was we got so many young girls.”
“They will make perfect slaves. We are gonna get rich by selling these chicks”, replied the bulky one who seemed to be the captain of the thugs.
“Hey, wait, some voice is coming from that well”, they quickly caught upon the loud sermons of the self-proclaimed priestess trapped in the well.
“Captain, there seems to be a girl down there.”
“Perfect! Another slave..we are getting rich boys!”
“Throw the rope and pull her up, what are you guys waiting for?”
His subordinates quickly followed his command as they all laughed out aloud in satisfaction.
A rope suddenly came in front of the eyes of that self-proclaimed priestess who seemed to be enchanting some weird words.
“It’s the rope of salvation the Holy God descended upon me.”
Seeing the rope in such darkness, her eyes bloomed as she felt her devotion was being answered. Her twisted faith further cemented~
She thought the God, impressed by her faith, threw a rope of salvation to help her complete her wish.
With a happy smile she grabbed the rope as she hung her entire body’s weight on it, the smile on her face kept getting wider as she was being pulled up by those slave traders.
“Oh dear Shouta, I am coming.”
“SHOUTA”
‘Shoutaaaaaaaaa’
