Yesterday afternoon's incident still looms in my head even before I go to sleep I still think about it. Ana who turned out to have a real form is a little different from humans. A clear sight before me. It doesn't matter, I guess, because I also often fantasize about meeting beautiful long-eared girls like in fantasy stories. I wish I could stay friends with him. Kira - think the guy came to school today after yesterday? I don't know why I'm getting a little stubborn.
Hm? Is that Ham who was talking to Loze in front of the class? They look cool. I didn't see Arad anywhere, not even in class. I passed in front of the two of them without disturbing their pleasure.
"Again, Harold."
"Yes."
Loze and Ham who turned out to greet me first. I just nodded.
Ham gave me a silent thumbs up.
Of course I returned the thumbs.
As usual, I sat inside.
"Yes, Harold. On my last excursion I saw you coming home a little late in the afternoon. I also had a chance to see Erika with you, what are you doing?", asked Rito as he approached.
"none. I was daydreaming to fall asleep on the uks upstairs and without realizing the afternoon had arrived. I happened to meet Erika. If you see me why don't you call?"
"I did, but you didn't hear me. You seem to be thinking about something while daydreaming", replied Rito.
Uh.
"Maybe.. I'm still half conscious."
I can't say anything about yesterday's events, of course.
Rito looked at me as if he were confirming my words, "Origin be careful on the road. It'll be hit by a motor."
"Motors can't destroy me yet, bring a truck if you want to destroy a Harold" I said, patting him on the chest.
Rito punched me lightly, "I don't want to hear that from the person who jumped in pain because his pinky leg was stumbling against the table leg" he joked.
"Whisper you."
It's good, my feet are used to being stung by the table.
"By the way, Ana's not here yet?"
Usually he came quickly but now his figure was invisible.
"Yet, I guess? Tumben you're looking for him. Usually you're tsundere once when you say you're a matching combination", Rito wrapped his hand around my neck.
Rito was joking. But I don't want to answer the joke he made.
"Ah, there's something I want to talk about."
Actually it's just an excuse. I just want to know how it is. It seems that the atmosphere of our conversation, Ana and I, will be different in the future.
"Did something happen, buddy?"
"No, no big deal."
"That means there's a problem, right?"
Rito looked curious but he did not continue.
"You occasionally look at the exit? You're waiting for Ana, right?"
How do you know that?
"Once in a while your gaze also leads to the back seat."
Either it's because Rito is observant, or because everything seems clear on my face. I did it quietly - silently.
"The eye cannot lie."
He said it with a patronizing face, of course I replied, "What is a wise word or advice? I've heard about guessing people's feelings through the eyes."
"That's right" he said snorting arrogantly.
"Eyes cannot lie but expressions can. You never knew that with a normal expression like this it turned out that I was a pervert who wanted to steal the panties of all the girls in class"', I tried to refute his statement.
"Ah... "
Oi, don't nod as if it's commonplace.
By the way, near the first hour Arad has not appeared yet, is he out? He usually sat in his seat which was now empty.
Then until the first hour was about to start with five minutes left then Ana came. For others, there may be nothing different, but something else for me. I was too aware of yesterday's events. Ana looks ordinary as if nothing worries her. He passed by as usual beside me.
Do I have to say hello now?
In this moment I realized from the beginning always he greeted and came to me first.
Haaa..
Why is it so difficult..
Maybe at rest..
Rito tapped my arm pointing with his eyes at Ana as if to say, "That's the guy you're looking for."
I can only smile while raising my hand.
***********
At first I just sat alone in the back garden of school enjoying my favorite strawberry milk during the first break.
"Are you normal?"
"Yes I guess."
Erika suddenly came to me and sat next to me.
"Have you contacted the principal?"
I heard he's only been back in 1 week.
"Erika I want to know. After yesterday's incident I started thinking 'is there a lot of people like Ana here'. Hows it? Did ya?"
"It's more or less strange to think about it" Erika said.
"Not really, I think there's a lot of things that might happen that are also unknown to the general public. It is undeniable that humans are normally surprised to see something strange, even if they think about the possibility."
As I've certainly experienced. Erika was silent for a while then took out a bar of famous brand chocolate.
Eh? Did he just give you chocolate? Is this how you show concern?
"Eat it, that's for you. Sweet foods are necessary to increase energy."
But high glucose levels can also raise blood sugar, I said in the liver. Still I thank you and accept the chocolate.
"thank you. I didn't think because of yesterday I could talk to you like this."
He was silent then looking the other way, "Really?", he said.
Because you don't look like the one who's gonna start the conversation first.
Seeing her from the side I was fascinated. She's a cool and beautiful girl.
"If indeed such creatures are around and mingle, what kind of them can generally change into human beings?"
"Basically yes. They can transform themselves into human beings and live a normal life. The only ones who know their existence are certain people. In this world you can call them 'other creatures'. The types are also different - sorts."
"If Ana? What is she?"
"Ras fairy. People often equated them with the elven race. The fairy race was referred to as the mother of the elf race, but mostly, they were not happy to be equated. In addition, what is considered the same as the fairy race category is the dwarf race, succubus, incubus, and druid, then there are many more."
Wow..! I heard something very fantasy.
"That's the name of a creature that is often used in stories. When you hear it directly and experience it immediately feels very different."
Seeing me who was a little excited to hear that, Erika said, "I think you should be more careful because just like humans, they also have their own intentions. Just be careful that the same incident does not happen to you as it was upstairs yesterday afternoon."
"Ahahaha." I remember that.
The point is just like humans, there is an evil side and there is a good side.
"Then Erika? Are you not human either?"
"I'm half. I have human blood, and vampire blood."
"Vampire, really? That's great."
Vampires exist too.
"Vampires are very rarely known to exist because they prefer not to harass anyone."
Erika smiled, but there was a hint of sadness I saw from her experiment. I ignored what I saw and kept talking.
"That means Erika is half a vampire huh. That's why you looked strong yesterday."
"You're not afraid?", asked Erika seriously.
"Fearful? Why?", what did he ask?
"When I see me."
Oh.. That thing. My answer is certain.
"Of course not! Vampire's gone! The half-vampire girl I imagined was in a fantasy story right now right next to me! How am I not happy?"
He helped me yesterday! Maybe if I don't know what - what and he showed an aura like yesterday could be I panicked and flushed. But! Yesterday's moment changed it. There's nothing I should be afraid of because Erika doesn't look like the one who would just attack me. Besides he saved me. So then! No problem at all.
I'm too excited. Erika was a little surprised by my rising tension.
"In addition I like your red eyes."
"Oh.. Thank you?", Erika smiled confusedly.
Eh? Does that sound like I'm seducing her?
I mean I like red eyes..
This is one of my man romances!
"Sorry a little bit of release." I looked around to make sure no one was listening, what would happen if they heard our conversation.
Ignore that, I think because he's half a vampire he's got a beautiful stature from the top down. What I often read from the literature are usually vampires depicted with their charming appearance or white skin like corpses. Is it because Erika is half so she's not as white as a corpse?
"Vampires are a race that comes close to humans, making almost no difference. Some can also walk during the day. Pure vampires also had pale skin", Erika continued her story.
Oh, he just confirmed it.
"Oh.. Wait for. If Erika's half a vampire, do you drink blood?"
I asked that question as it is. I honestly don't know if this is a question I can ask.
"Not really. I used to drink blood but not often. In general, vampires don't always need to drink blood, as I said vampires are creatures that approach humans. But it's indisputable that some of the vampire race find it a pleasure to drink blood."
So it is.
Although not all the things I can ask because the time is not right. But I guess after that we told quite a lot while spending the first hour of rest.
Ah, I forgot about Ana.
