Chapter 25: Chapter 25: I want milk! Hot!
Chapter 25: I want milk! Hot!
Under the guidance of the police, Akito entered a dim little room.
There was only one lamp in the house, illuminating the entire room, but the light was very dim and unstable as if it could go out at any time.
There was a small bed in the middle of the room. Bronya's petite body was curled up against the cold wall, her lips pouting. She looked very dissatisfied with the police for arresting her.
The moment she saw Akito, Bronya turned her head away and expressed like a child that she was very angry!
"When you get back, you should remind your sister that even professional drivers don't dare to drive at 350 kilometers per hour on the highway. Do you know what that means? It's too unsafe!"
"I know, I'll tell her well."
"Well, I hope we don't meet again in the near future," the policeman warned earnestly.
Akito could only nod repeatedly, then took Bronya's soft little hand and quickly walked out of the police station.
There were not many people along the way, probably because it was too late and everyone had already started to sleep. Of course, there were also some night owls who were staying in bed and didn't know what to do.
The evening breeze is chilly, and the brilliant lights of the city are gradually fading away.
"Remember not to get caught next time."
'Don't be like me and get caught twice.'
Bronya raised her head and looked at Akito curiously, her dull eyes full of confusion. She pursed her lips and moved them slightly, but no sound came out.
She just nodded silently, but she couldn't hide her disappointment in her heart.
Although Akito's answer was very interesting, it clearly lacked concern. If it were Akito in the future if she is caught in the police station for speeding.
He would definitely criticize her harshly first, then care about whether she was injured, and finally tell her to remember to take him with her next time she goes racing, otherwise, he would be worried.
Now Akito just reminded himself lightly not to get caught.
In Bronya's view, the other meaning of this sentence is that your affairs have nothing to do with me, as long as you don't cause me trouble.
Akito thought that his relationship with Bronya was not as close as that of the future, so he was just expressing the most basic concern, which could not even be considered concern.
"I want to grow up quickly," Bronya muttered absentmindedly, looking up at the starry sky.
This starry sky is Bronya Zaychik's starry sky, but it is not her starry sky.
Akito replied calmly, "I don't want to grow up."
"Why?"
"Because when you grow up, you lose a lot."
"…You are running away."
Akito stopped and said disappointedly, "Maybe I just don't want to accept change. I know that change has both good and bad sides, and I also know that the future is full of infinite hope."
"But I would rather stay where I am, maintaining a distance that doesn't hurt either of us. What is hope? It's a prostitute: she seduces everyone and gives everything to them; when you sacrifice a lot of treasures—your youth, she will abandon you."
"So in the end, I had nothing. I'm not afraid of being alone, I'm afraid of getting it and then losing it again."
Bronya looked at Akito, who was shouting hysterically and looked like a piece of glass that would break at the slightest touch, like cracks all over it.
Akito vaguely remembered what Yae Sakura said before her death—"Is it a misfortune not to be able to see the light? The real misfortune is to need the light."
"If I could, I would rather have never seen you. Even if I die right now, I would not be afraid. Your appearance makes me start to be afraid. I have never been afraid of death before, but you make me so scared for the first time, afraid of death..."
Akito had never shown his weakness in front of the mature Bronya, and now in Akito's eyes, this childish Bronya was just a strange landlord.
Akito would not be so self-righteous as to think that the two of them could become friends after just one day of spending time together.
In the final analysis, Bronya was just lazy and didn't want to do housework, so she lived with him.
Akito didn't even need to call up the system to check the favorability level to know that it was definitely not even one star. The relationship between them was not deep, so Akito could show this expression.
"If I tell you that you will meet a girl who loves you very much in the future, would you believe it?" Bronya asked seriously.
Akito smiled self-deprecatingly: "I have lost a lot of girls who love me and who I love."
"Tsk, turns out to be a scumbag," Bronya said coquettishly.
I guess it was because of the love they had during their student years. Because they were young and immature, they felt so regretful and thought they had lost them.
That's what Bronya thinks, so she doesn't care. Akito is good-looking, so it would be a problem if no one pursues him.
"Scumbag, probably," Akito said with a wry smile.
"It seems that the title of scumbag can no longer satisfy you. Maybe I have to give you a few other nicknames. Let me think... How about dirty, hooligan, pervert, scumbag, potential criminal, and trash?" Bronya said expressionlessly.
But Akito widened his eyes and forced an awkward smile.
'This is what Big Duck said to him on the day he left. I didn't expect that Bronya had learned these lines when she was a child.'
"I really want to know where you learned your sharp tongue. I think the teacher who taught you must be a bad guy."
"Humph, who knows."
Akito let out a long sigh, smiled frankly, walked to Bronya's side, took off his coat, and put it on her thin shoulders.
He said in a gentle voice, "It's cold outside, keep warm."
Bronya looked at Akito calmly, with no change in her expression.
"Are you planning to attack me? You are indeed the one who can come up with such a cunning trick to avoid paying the rent. Unfortunately, it is impossible for us now. Don't dream about it."
Bronya was relentless and transformed herself into a key fairy to attack Akito with her mouth. The key point was that Akito was unable to dodge or block.
'It's all for living.'
Akito didn't care and smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you look so small now, I have no interest in you at all. I like those queens with slim figures, thin waists, curvy bodies, big eyes and long legs, and intellectual beauty. It doesn't matter if she has a sharp tongue, I will go along with her. But you are not my type right now, OK?"
'Yes, that's right, you are not like that now, but you will be very nice in the future!'
'I really want to smoke Big Duck again. I feel uncomfortable if I don't smoke it for a day.'
As soon as Akito finished speaking, a punch came and hit him hard in the eye, successfully transforming him into half a national treasure.
Then Bronya lowered her head, her expression still unchanged, but her eyes were very complicated.
'Every point hits home exactly with my future self. This guy, it turns out his XP has never changed.'
Bronya exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, it's confirmed." Fortunately, she had recorded it and would release the audio at an appropriate time in the future.
"Hmph. Remember to prepare breakfast for me tomorrow. I want a cup of hot milk, every day."
Bronya put on her signature expression of despise for the world as if she hadn't done anything just now.
