DON'T ASK ABOUT MY PAST

CHAPTER 27 - 2ND ROUND IV (YUTA-HIMARI)

“Shit, the rock is so far away. If anyone comes and unites us, we can get out.”

“Greedy princess, I told you ‘I will go.’ Now look.”

*Present*

With a sigh, “Well, we got the crystal. Store your energy.”

Hina, Miko, Inori, and Haruki were watching the scene on a mini screen with the help of a controller.

Miko sighed, closed her eyes with embarrassment, “Arguing like kids.”

With teasing, “Senpai, they fought like this in the previous tournament, too. From that time, they’ve been like this.”

“Well, ask them to change the pulse.”

With teasing, “Huh? Don’t you want to see Senpai? Your son?”

Haruki and Hina didn’t want to talk.

“Inori, do you ask them to change, or should I?”

With a sulky tone, “Okay, why are you saying it with no expression, Senpai?”

After a few minutes, Yuta asked, “Hey, can I ask you a question? Why do you hate me? I didn’t do anything. In fact, I was the one who should hate you.”

“Huh? You had the right to hate me? Idiot, why did you give it to me instead of fighting?”

“....”

With anger, “Talk, idiot. You called me arrogant. Then what about you? You didn’t even fight me, thinking you’re strong.”

With annoyance, “Huh! Are you mad? Did I say that to you?! You asked, and even when I asked first, I gave it to you to avoid unnecessary fighting. After that, you’re the one calling me arrogant without any reason.”

With anger, “Then why did you come with me to take the crystal? You could’ve left it, right? Then we wouldn’t be in this mess by now.”

With a huff, “I didn’t want to give it to you.”

“Huh! Oi, are you mental? Think about the situation, idiot. That’s something you should fight for, this is something you should avoid. Now, I’m starting to doubt. Are you older than me?”

With annoyance, “Shit, don’t talk. I have every right here. You’re the one who hated me without any valid reason. Everyone knows that. Why aren’t you agreeing?”

“I already said, if I ask, why did you give it to me without a fight? You think I’m weak and showed mercy?”

“Hey, why do you think like that? We both passed. I just wanted to avoid unnecessary fights and take another. What’s the use of that? I just avoided it, not because I wanted to show mercy. You’re the one thinking like that and blaming me.”

With a huff, “Actually, that’s the point. You should’ve fought for it. You had every right. You gave it to me when I asked with your attitude.” With a sulky face, “Okay, assume I misunderstood. Why didn’t you tell me until now?”

“Huh! Now, you’re blaming me! You’re not agreeing with what you did wrong!”....“Actually, where did you give me the chance? Shit. Honestly, Say, everyone knows who was at fault back then. From the start, you were arrogant. Just learn some manners from your younger sister Mei. She’s 100 times better than you.”

With a sulky face and tone, “Why are you comparing me to her? I know she’s better, but I’m also better at some things.”

With carelessness, “That’s your character. You still think you’re better. If someone comes, then we can get out. This stupid net isn’t even cuttable. Or we could just move, and maybe it’ll break from the weight.”
