Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 79 - Explanation and Pushing Back
In anger, black fire dots started popping up around Aoi's body. And Riyu who saw that patted her on the shoulder to resuscitate her.
“Tenace.”
“???”
Due to her clapping, Aoi's eyes returned to normal. And after that, he began to realize that he had lost control of his power.
“Ugh, sorry, I can't control my energy.”
Riyu nodded her head then looked Aoi in the eyes seriously after seeing her black flames.
“By the way Aoi senpai, about your fire. Can you control it?”
Aoi tilted her head, not knowing why Riyu asked her that.
“Yes, of course. Although it is sometimes difficult to control, this is not like how Scarlet loses control of her energy.”
“Begukah.”
Ryu thought first before he continued his words.
“Do you have anything to do with why Scarlet could lose control of her body?”
Aoi was a little surprised by his question. Why could he conclude that it had something to do with him. Although Scarlet had told him about some things, it should not have made him suspect her.
“Oh. You suspect me?”
Riyu shook her head.
“I just asked. Anyhow I've seen such black flames when Scarlet lost control.”
“?”
Aoi raised an eyebrow and did not understand what Ryu meant. She had no idea when Riyu saw Scarlet spew out a black flame as she lost control. It should only have been seen by a few people.
“Hahs. It has something to do with me, but at the same time it doesn't. From the beginning, Scarlet energy was indeed difficult to control because it was not her own energy. I won't explain it in detail, but except for that incident, I didn't make Scarlet lose her control.”
“Hmm?”
Scarlet put her foot on the long chair in the room and then sat down gracefully. He looked to the side, as if he was thinking about a certain incident,
“Hahs. You know, one day, there was a guy who wanted to do something bad to Scarlet. Due to a drug, Scarlet cannot wake up for several hours. So, back then I used some of my energy to release some of the seals that should have held back Scarlet.”'s power
“,...”
Riyu was silent. He felt like a huge blow had hit him. He could tell what Aoi might mean, and the thought of the incident happening made him unable to resist his cold expression.
“Shocked?”
Nodding.
“What person is still alive?”
Riyu said coldly, trying to hold back her almost leaking aura.
“Unfortunately Yes, I could not do something to her back then because it was difficult to control her body when her energy overflowed.”
Hearing that, we don't know what Ryu is trying to think. But for sure he wouldn't let that happen if it was true.
.
After successfully calming down, Riyu started sitting nearby and asked Aoi once more.
“What exactly is your energy?”
“... That's a long story.”
Aoi closed her eyes as if she was recalling the events of the past. And after opening his eyes he then explained.
“I and Scarlet originally had the same energy, the Fire Element. Scarlet Crimson-colored flame and I Blue-colored flame. Back then, we did not know about the existence of our energy because we only lived in a quiet orphanage.”
“However, since we were made as the object of research, we have another energy, which is darkness. And you know where that energy comes from?”
“Other energy users.”
Riyu instantly answered her question because she knew a little about what those few lunatics were doing.
He gets reports from some people in his family about what has been done the crazy research he once destroyed.
And one of them is about combining the energy source of other users with other energy users.
"really. They arrested several other users and forced us to accept their energy source. I don't know how many people died because of it. However, since that energy does not belong to us, it is of course the soul remains that are there as if having a will, and when the worst thing happens, that energy will control us.”
“....”
“Only seven of us survived. But even that leaves only a few people due to an accident on that day.”
Aoi recalled where her friends were trying to deal with Eternite with the power they got from that hell.
“At first I thought I was going to die, but one of my friends sacrificed himself to save our souls by using all his strength to burn my body. Miraculously, it did not injure our bodies but instead separated our souls and bodies so that we could occupy Scarlet's body, it also at the same time helped her hold back the remains of other souls that looked like a seal.”
“I should still be asleep and observing Scarlet from inside so as not to make those souls restless, but that bastard really forced me to do it.”
Aoi clenched her hands thinking about the incident again.
The incident not only made Scarlet expelled, but also made something that held Scarlet's power loose. And worse, the bastard managed to escape and was not hurt in the least.
“Are you still in senpai's body?”
Understanding Aoi's expression, Riyu switched the subject so that Aoi would not lose her control again.
“They are still asleep, but it is better. Because if they come out, it means that the seal to hold those souls is no longer able to hold them.”
“Begukah.”
Ryu thought of something to the point of being surprised by a possibility that made him sweat.
"Is there a man among you?"
‘Kecelosan.’
“Ptt, hahaha.“
Hearing Riyu's worry, Aoi laughed cheerfully.
“Ah. My tummy. Take it easy, only us girls whose souls are still safe.”
Aoi approached Riyu, put her lips near her ear and whispered something.
“And they are all beautiful girls.”
“Be-really?”
Riru said quietly like she was whispering.
“Ehem, - I mean, what do you say Aoi senpai, I already have a lover.”
“Heh... You think what I said.”
Riyu realizes that it seems that she is being seduced by Aoi.
‘He's pretty dangerous. Well, there's not a single harmless woman in my life.’
.
.
Aoi sat on Riyu's bed then patted her bed as if telling Riyu to go there.
“By the way aren't you going to try to control Scarlet's power? How to?”
Hear that.
Ryu thought about whether he would continue his plan or not.
Previously he had no burden to carry out his plan, but now there would be a possibility that Aoi's soul would be affected.
Ryu moved then explained what he was planning.
Aoi seriously listened and then agreed to her plan. It happened after they had a serious discussion.
“Wait a minute Aoi-senpai, would it be okay not to tell senpai? He would be happy to know that his sister survived the accident.”
Aoi shook her head.
He had already decided not to tell Scarlet, however it might be a good decision for the future.
“This is not the time. We'll just pay attention to it for now. Our existence will only affect its purpose. Anyway..”
*shaking the head*
“Yeah, stop talking about my sister. Don't we have any business tonight?”
“What do you mean, Aoi senpai. I don't understand what you mean.”
Riyu pretended not to understand what Aoi said.
"Oh. Do you want to pretend to be a good man by forgetting what this woman just said?
“Tu-wait Aoi senpai.”
Aoi pulled the blanket and pushed Riyu backwards. The two of them fell into the bed together, and of course Aoi aggressively kissed Riyu.
And what are they gonna do? Only God and the author know.
