SCR 002: The Sentient Cupcake Guardian

Earth

"5 days after the suicide bombing in a deserted alley, attracted quite a lot of attention of people around.

There were no fatalities in the incident however, a high school student named Yuu suffered very serious burns all over her body.

The student was unconscious for two whole days in a hospital not far from the scene. The perpetrator was a senior victim, who according to the victim (Nanase ) had sent several threatening letters to him.

Until now, the investigation is still being continued by the police to fulfill their duties" explained a woman who explained everything about the incident that occurred via TV.

Power off! I turned off the television that I had been watching for quite a while, for the past 3 days, I just stayed in the bed that I was comfortable using. In addition, what financed this hospital for me was sakura, even though I felt bad for her but ...

"I'm really short of money." I said to myself. Staring at the ceiling I had been accustomed to since I first woke up.

Openup! the door opened, a girl in nurse clothes entered the room, she was the nurse who took care of me while being treated here. The girl looked at me, made sure that I was asleep or not, after confirming that I woke up she said. "Excuse me, your friends came to visit, don't you mind?" asked the nurse and in response to that, I got out of bed and nodded slowly.

"Good." The nurse then turned back to me and stepped out of the room.

Shortly after, several people came, entering my usually quiet room one by one quietly. I looked at them one by one thoroughly and then smiled, this was the smile I always used in a forced state wherever I was.

The first person to approach me was my homeroom teacher, Kushida's mother. She approached slowly, touching my face still wrapped in bandages with teary eyes, her soft hands somehow I felt through the bandages on my face.

Her teary eyes looked at me. In response to her I looked back at her, and when I saw her face, my eyes widened in surprise. In my life, I never once thought that someone would cry for me.

My chest became claustrophobic looking at it, I could not say anything, I was silent, my whole body seemed to be falling down and without me realizing, the mask that I had been putting up to cover the past began to crack. Tears came out of both my eyeballs.

I looked down, couldn't look him in the face and said stuttering. " ... maa .. sorry ... has made you worry about Kushida's mother!!"

All my classmates were somehow saddened by what was happening in front of them.

"Um, it's okay Yuu, everything will be fine." replied Kushida, dropping me into her very, very claustrophobic embrace.

Me!. .. no! can breathe! someone help!! whoever it is help!! yuu shouted inwardly asking for help to Sagiri who was behind Kushida's mother.

20 Minutes later

Many of them have left here, the only ones left are Nanase, Sagiri, Sakura and Lili.

Sagiri looked at me with his sharp gaze, saw him, I knew what he wanted to say. "Aren't you a very good liar? I think it's like that."

As I expected from Sagiri, he was not at all fooled by the charade I had done earlier. In response to her gaze, I nodded lightly with a slight smile on my lips.

Seeing that, Sagiri hugged himself with a thin smile and with his eyes closed lowered slightly down, as if satisfied with what he expected.

"Can you please stop your private talk that goes out of your mouth without a word?" obviously Sakura was obviously upset by what Sagiri and I were doing.

"Alright." reply Sagiri casually who then retreats several times back to lean against the wall of the room. He directed his gaze towards Nanase at a glance before closing his eyes back. Either he's sleeping or he's not.

Looking at Sagiri who stepped back, Sakura and Lili followed him. It seems like Nanase is trying to tell me something directly, even so ...

I turned my gaze towards Lili, looking at her with a strange look, as I remembered she was not the quiet type of person let alone considering the injured person was me, her fiance. Although this engagement was decided by one-sided by Lili's father however, I don't mind it at all.

...or...

No, let's forget about that. First of all I will hear what Nanase wants to say to me.

After remaining silent for a minute, he finally opened his mouth. "I'm sorry Yuu-kun!! because me!! you!! you!" he said in unison looking down in front of me.

If that's the case, then what can be done.

"ahh~ come on Nanase, just think of this as a favor from me."

I looked at Nanase, as I thought she was really blaming herself for this, it was emanating clearly from the look of her desperate eyes.

I tried to use my brain, looking for a good enough solution to stabilize his mental state. After a while I finally found him, I smiled lightly then looked at Sagiri who was still leaning against the wall.

"Alright, then how about this Nanase. If you want to have a romantic relationship with Sagiri then I'll forgive you?" I said in a pretty clear voice.

Everyone was shocked except for Lili who was still silent. The one who was the most surprised was Sakura, although in fact I guess the one who would be the most surprised would be Sagiri or Nanase.

"Huh?! what did you just say Yuu!! Do you want to pay the hospital fee yourself?!!"

Hearing that, I gulped, a little afraid of Sakura's threat that looked very serious. But, what I need is not Sakura's opinion but Nanase.

That way, I can drop 2 birds with one stone. This is the most ridiculous plan I have ever thought of, it seems like my thinking ability has still not fully recovered.

Even so, it does not mean that this plan is useless, useful or useless it depends on a Nanase. As for Sagiri he went back to silence, crossing his hands on his chest. That meant that he also agreed to this plan.

Nanase seems to be thinking about it.

"Hey Nanase!! don't mind this guy's words! it's sick, you idiot again!!"

"Hey, that hurts Sakura." Answer lethargic.

"Hei-" before sakura resumed her words, Nanase cut in.

"Alright, I'll do it." she replied firmly, her eyes re-emitting a feeling of life within her.

"a a what!!! did your brain deviate from Nanase!!!" yelled Nanase who then left the room without looking at any of us.

Seeing that Nanase followed him away.

Sagiri who had just been silent, got up from where he was sitting and looked at me. "It's definitely not like you usually are, but well .. I don't think it was anything bad, so take a break." after saying that, Sagiri left.

Leaving me and Lili in the room, I looked at Lili for a moment before putting my body back on the bed, I took my eyes off her. I really don't like this situation.

Silent, and silent. Without me knowing, Lili is now standing next to me, whether she will hit me or do anything else I don't mind as long as it won't kill me.

"hiks! hyx"

as I turned my head, I saw Lili who was trying to hold back her tears that kept coming out of her two eyeballs with her soft hands.

I bit my lips, forcing my already-powerless body to build up, hugging them tightly. He was the only person I had always been with for a long time, maybe without him I would have starved to death on the streets.

When I held her my tears spilled, this was not a charade like I did just now, this was really from my feelings that were always hiding inside me being stupid.

I hugged him tighter and tighter as I said the things I only told him one day of my life. "I'm sorry, Lili, I really love you. So relax, I will always be with you

10 Minutes passed

Lili stayed behind to accompany her tonight, she also seemed to have sought permission from her father.

And for some reason, I remembered my strange dreams the last few days. "Lili, do you want to hear what dreams I've had these days?"

" mm? what's the matter?"

"Come, but somehow those dreams are so weird."

"That's it, then tell me."

that way I started to tell you about a dream I had in the last few days. Starting from being a mercenary with my life always on the cutting edge until joining the insect DNA.
