Book 5! Reader X Baki Characters ~The Bottle Of Curse~

A map in a bottle

"Come on Alfred.., I think you're overreacting a little bit",you chuckled and looked at him but to your surprise Alfred's expression was dead serious,he wasn't joking.

"Y/n,do you know what it means to be heartless?It's obviously not the fact that you don't have a heart inside your body".

"Yeah,I know that.I know what it means but I can't find the words to explain it correctly..."

"Well I'll explain it for you",he paused for a moment to find the right words and describe it to you,in order to change your mind.

"When someone is heartless Y/n,means that they don't have any feelings or sympathy for anyone or anything.Mostly they care about themselves and are cruel and awful,love is not even a word in their vocabulary".

"W-what..!Come on!,they can't be that horrible..."

"No Y/n,they can.Well it depends on the person we are talking about...It's fine if you don't want to tell me who they are,but I can't help you with information for your “friends” problem further.You have to see it for yourself".

"See what...?",you asked nervously as you tried to keep each word Alfred said in your memory.

"See if they are truly heartless Y/n.And if you think that they are not because of something nice they did for once in their life,then think about their whole record,and then make your final decision",Alfred said with a serious tone that sent shivers down your spine.It was the first time in years you had seen him with that kind of expression and tone,he almost looked unrecognizable as you were used to his warm smile and calm almost quiet voice.

After saying that,Alfred looked away and went quiet,and so did you.You thought about the advice he gave you and repeated it to yourself to think if what he said matched with Yujiro.

(He said that I should look through his whole record and not just one nice thing he has done...Well, Yujiro saved my life three times and that's a really good thing to do!, without him I would have been dead last year's summer and wouldn't have been able to experience all these things that happened afterwards!He's also...,a bit nice when he wants,but mostly when we are alone.Now that I think about it... Yujiro is that bad...), you slightly smiled to yourself and then sighed in relief.

(But apart from the good stuff he has done for me he has done some serious things I can't forgive him for!He assaulted me once..,maybe twice with that stupid sex toy and manipulated my drunk state...,he also took advantage of me for the pregnancy control pill with that deal of his...All that including now with the stupid punishment he gave me!And he took away the ultimate source of power from me!),your smile dropped and a frown formed on your face thinking about the stuff Yujiro had done to you.

(What am I supposed to assume about him!,he is horrible but at the same time somehow gentle and I can't decide if he's good or evil!He is a mystery!),you sighed heavily and before you knew it,the limousine had stopped at your destination and Alfred got out of the car to open the door for you.

"Aren't you going to go?", Alfred smiled handing you over your bag containing your stuff.You were surprised from the fact that Alfred's smile was back,as if the conversation between you two had never happened.He offered his hand to help you out of the limousine and you eventually took it,before taking your bag.

"Well go on,you're going to miss the sunset!It's even better to see it at the beach,it's very beautiful",he said and his words finally brought a smile back on your face,you nodded before waiving him goodbye and ran to the beach to find the others.
