H-22: ASSASSIN

H22A - 04

After school, Xylona walks with Erfrain. As Erfrain kept his head down while tightly holding his bag, Xylona pulled the man's hand and held him towards a drinks cafe. Erfrain looked at Xylona's hand that did not stop holding her hand.

　

　

"What do you want to order a drink?" Tanya Xylona spirit.

　

　

Erfrain seemed to think.

　

　

A servant approached them. "What do you want to order, Dek?"

　

　

Without hesitation, Xylona replied, "I want a taste of bubble gum."

　

　

The waiter turned to Erfrain. The man ordered, "Emm. americano."

　

　

Xylona and the waiter looked a little shocked by Erfrain's reply. Rarely do schoolchildren order americano.

　

　

After the maid left, Xylona whispered, "Are you sure you want to order an americano? It tastes so bitter. That's an adult drink. My brother drank it a lot and I tasted it a little. It doesn't taste good, but that's what I think, anyway. Aren't you going to change your order?"

　

　

Erfrain. "Rain likes americano, because Rain's tongue has an abnormality. Rain can't tell the taste of food."

　

　

Xylona was silent for a moment. He looked sadly at the man then rubbed Erfrain's hand. "I-I'm sorry."

　

　

"It's not wrong Xylo, Rain has been this way since birth."

　

　

Silent.

　

　

Erfrain touched Xylona's hand. "Xylo's okay?"

　

　

Xylona smiled and nodded.

　

　

Their orders came. Xylona enjoys her bubble gum. Erfrain also drank his order americano.

　

　

"May I taste it?" Xylona extended her hand.

　

　

Erfrain gave his americano. They exchange flavors. When Erfrain drank Xylona's bubble gum, he was silent for a moment.

　

　

I can feel it. Is that how gum tastes? Inner Erfrain. The man's daydream was scrapped when he heard Xylona's voice.

　

　

"It's bitter, Rain."

　

　

Erfrain returns Xylona's bubble gum. The girl drank it immediately.

　

　

"Xylo likes bubble gum?" Ask Erfrain.

　

　

"I love all the flavors in this world. For drinks, I like chocolate, bubble gum, matcha, taro, chocolate banana, and more." Xylona looked excited.

　

　

Erfrain smiled slightly.

　

　

"You wanna play at my house? There's my brother at home. She must be happy to see you," Xylona bargained.

　

　

"Ah? Next time, '" replied Erfrain.

　

　

"My brother limits me to hanging out, but I'm sure he'll be happy if I make friends with you."

　

　

Erfrain lowered his head with flushed cheeks. It makes Xylona squashy. The girl pinched Erfrain's cheek. "How can there be such an adorable man in this world. I'm sure you're younger than me."

　

　

Erfrain replied, "Rain is 15."

　

　

"Oh? That means right, you're younger than me. I'm 16 years old. It's so sweet." Xylona smiled beautifully.

　

　

　

　

"Why would Xylo be friends with Rain? People stay away from Rain. Not just the bad guys, the good guys don't want to be friends with Rain either, because they don't want to get into trouble if they get along with Rain."

　

　

Xylona put on a thoughtful expression. "I'll tell you why someday."

　

　

After school, Erfrain went home. Simple house in the hills. It seems that the man lives alone in the house. Inside the house there are many large mirrors and used as room decoration.

　

　

The man opened the refrigerator door. There were plenty of drinks neatly arranged inside. He confirmed the position of one of the bottles which he said was not as berjer like the others. Erfrain is a very neat person.

　

　

When alone, Erfrain tends to be cold and mysterious. He's unpredictable. However, he would act like a fool in front of his friends at school.

　

　

The man sat on the couch and drank the cold mineral water he had brought from the fridge. In one gulp, one bottle runs out.

　

　

Erfrain leaned his back against the sofa. He has a flat facial expression. Xylona's face passed through her mind. The smile of the beautiful girl.

　

　

"He who? Where there might be people who suddenly want to hang out with me," Erfrain muttered in a different voice. She had a baritone voice, unlike her usual she spoke in a crisp voice.

　

　

"It looks like he wants to use me for whatever reason. When he first saw it, he did indeed seem mysterious. I can't read his mind" Erfrain murmured.

　

　

The man went to the room. He saw the calendar on his study desk. A grinning smile adorned his face.

　

　

The next day, rain fell on the village of Amrita. Xylona was standing on the front porch of her house. He held up the rain falling from the precarious with his right hand.

　

　

Today was Sunday, so Xylona did not attend school, while Drystan went to work and the night shift. This morning the man prepared breakfast. He saw his brother playing with rain.

　

　

"Xylo, breakfast is ready" call Drystan.

　

　

Xylona came in. They both had breakfast together.

　

　

"Hopefully the rainy day will subside" said Drystan.

　

　

"Why? Brother's the night shift? In addition, you do not have to worry, there will be no flooding here" said Xylona.

　

　

"Yes, anyway. But, Brother wants to go out with friends this afternoon."

　

　

Xylona pouting. "Have so many friends."

　

　

"Do you have no friends yet?" Ask Drystan.

　

　

"I have one special friend. She looks like Kylo" replied Xylona.

　

　

Drystan's expression turned serious. "You still thinking about that?"

　

　

Xylona nodded slowly. Her tears are shining. "Rain bullied his classmates and he didn't fight, he's like Kylo."

　

　

Drystan straightened his drinking water and asked, "You've reported it to the principal?"

　

　

"Already, the principal said, I must not interfere, because the bully's parents were a businessman who had donated money for the construction of the school. I expected it, the school in the village is like this, but that doesn't mean they can be careless to the weak." Xylona looks angry.

　

　

"Not all schools in the village are like that" Drystan argued.
