Against the Inevitable Destiny

Chapter 77 – Surprised

After they removed the mask. They found themselves shocked to see the grayish-white-haired beautiful woman.

It was not her beauty that surprised them, but rather how similar she was to Scarlet if not for her different colored hair.

“Sa-sister..”.

Scarlet who was in shock upon seeing the woman's face muttered something that made them all shocked.

However, of course the one who was more shocked than them all was none other than Scarlet herself because she saw her sister who should have died.

[In the Past ]

In a research place, in a white room, there were 2 beautiful girls who were sitting limp with some pretty sad looks.

"Sister, can we get out of this place?"

A teenage girl asked the white-haired girl beside her. The two of them had something in common like a pair of twins with only hair of different colors.

“Um, we'll get out of this place, Scarlet.”

“Really?”

“Ya, sister promise.”

“Um.”

That was the first happiness the red-haired girl felt since she was made the object of research from some crazy person who was there.

But unfortunately a few years later the girl's happiness slowly faded from seeing how her friends died one by one and left only seven of them who managed to survive.

However, even that relationship had to be doomed to disappear after that incident.

"But I was surprised that she was Scarlet sensei's sister."

Mei expressed her opinion after they went somewhere. It was a place with some advanced capsules that could be used to perform some treatments.

“She is not a sister.”

“Hmm?”

After initially being shocked, Scarlet continued to pay attention to the woman and she came to the conclusion that she was not her sister.

It somehow made her feel pain once again and she almost lost herself.

If not for Riyu who was beside her or because of Mei with her authority, it was likely that her aura had already exploded and she could not control herself.

“It looks like senpai's sister has long since died. I also can't feel the aura of life from his body.”

“But why is he still able to move? And she looks alive.”

The question also bothered them and none of them could give an answer. But after a momentary silence Scarlet realized something and it made her even more grim.

"I think they're using his body for research too."

“....”

“....”

“It...”

They could not speak hearing his answer. They know little about Scarlet's past and find out that even her body is being researched to make them speechless.

And after a moment of silence. Eventually they started to think about how to handle the current situation.

“So what will we do to him?”

Maya asked them.

"I don't know either.”

Scarlet answered Maya's question with her face lowered.

She feels guilty if her sister's body is in prison, but she also knows that she can't ask Riyu to release it because it would be dangerous for her.

“It would be dangerous if we didn't do something. For now let him sleep in this capsule until we decide how to handle it. What do you think senpai?"

He would not treat his sister's body so badly that he intended to place her in this capsule and let her sleep for a few days.

“Um.”

“Good. You better get some rest. We'll talk about that topic next time.”

.

.

Coming to a room arranged for her, Scarlet sat down on a chair and began to close her eyes thinking about her past.

“Saudari.”

[The Past ]

A few days before Scarlet was rescued. Actually it was the result of some chaos happening.

Some places were on fire, some people were running, and a fight between the 3 parties occurred. That was a pretty chaotic situation at the research site back then. Even some people who tried to escape could not help but get involved in that fight.

Originally it was a 2-party battle between Nemesis and ETER Union, but unexpectedly it became a 3-party battle due to the sudden appearance of Eternite.

In the midst of the chaos, two teenage girls also get involved even though they don't want to.

“Scarlet, quickly go!”

The white-haired woman shouted to have the other woman separated by the glass from her to escape from the place.

Although only separated by a layer of glass, but the glass seems to have decided who lives and dies among them.

“Ti-no. Sister, but you. Hiks... hiks...”.

“Aoi. We can't hold it anymore.”

*Sighing*

“Listen Scarlet, go and keep living okay. Even if we are no longer there, trust that we will always be with you and guide you. Since we are not there directly, then keep living for us, smile for us, and have fun for us okay. You know your sister's dream, don't you?”

“Um. Hiks.”

“Good. Live well. If you can, find a man who can make you happy.”

“Saudari..”.

“No need to worry. Because we... always be with you.”

And that was the last word before the woman ran back to hold back the monster that was chasing them all, whereas Scarlet was finally able to escape from that hell with the flame of hope still alive.

After solving some other problems. Ryu was finally able to rest and leave his room.

As he opened the door, then stepped up, he only stopped when he heard someone enter his room. Looking back, he narrowed his eyes then asked seriously.

“Who?”

The person who came looked surprised upon hearing his question.

“Um? Have you forgotten your own teacher, troubled student?”

Yep. That's because she's Scarlet, no longer wrong.

However, what was surprising was that Riyu had absolutely no expression that was usually as if she was looking at someone else instead of Scarlet.

“Hahs. Come on, I've known my senpai for a long time, so I know that you're not her. At least not Senpai himself who controls his body right. So, I'll ask you one more time, who?”

“Ppt. Hahaha, I wonder what Scarlet's expression is when she hears your words. Indeed, he is not wrong in choosing a man.”

The woman instead laughed in satisfaction after hearing Ryu's reply. And it made Riyu seem even more upset that she did not answer her question.

“You haven't answered my question.”

Riyu let out an aura to suppress her because she did not want to take the risk if Scarlet's body was controlled. And he just did not move until this moment because his feelings did not feel the hostile aura of him.

“Oh, cold guy. So that's what you're hiding from my sister?”

“Adik?”

“Ehem. Sorry I haven't introduced myself. I'm Scarlet's sister, Aoi. Thank you for taking care of my sister all this time.”

“....”
