FutsuYuri: I Wanted To Reincarnate Normally!! Not In This Yuri Game!!

Chapter 101

Shiromoru POV

"You say that like you're in control." I scoffed, lifting my own hand by the wrist and stared at the natural ice particles around it.

By body, no I am not in control at all. But in this situation? Again, Shiromoru, they won't let you go unless I'm here.

"Tch," I groaned, "Whatever. Fine, do what you want with Prince Raijin. But keep your promise. I'm going to keep your predecessor as a hostage if you try anything stupid." I grumbled and closed my eyes, relaxing my back on the cold surface and cleared my head.

I took a sharp breath, opening my eyes wider as I breathed. Am I breathing...? I really am back!

Don't get too excited, Alien.

"I won't do anything funny, I swear." I placed a palm on my chest, heartbeat thumping out while it rose and fell.

I walked towards Yasachu, her head whipping her head towards me with longing eyes. A bead of sweat ran down to my chin, clenching my jaws and trying to look as neutral as possible.

"I'll ask them to take off your chains," I held my breath after I spoke, walking towards the door and shut it behind me, not wanting to even hear her voice. With a small huff, I glanced towards the princess that was waiting for me.

"I'm assuming you're back? Saboten isn't hissing, so that's a good sign." Shoubu chuckled, smiling at me.

What's with that girl and her knowing which is which? It's disturbing.

"Yes, I'm back. Could you let go of Yasachu though? I'm not going to talk to her for a while, I'm sorry for holding you all back but I still have to talk to Rai. Besides, her wrists must be hurting, and she already agreed to come with us." I made up a logical excuse, knowing that Shiromoru wants her to be let go already.

As much as she scares me, now that I understand why and how I'm changing, I can deal with this situation better. And... That as much as Shiromoru is giving me a chance to talk to Raijin, I want to do something for her too.

"An odd request, seeing as how you clearly don't even want to be in the same room as that commoner... But very well." She nodded, giving the keys to the mage behind her and whispered something to her. She nodded and went inside the room.

"You really are so kind Nika... I'm so sorry for-'' Shukona started to apologize, sniffling while I shut her up by hugging her.

"Shut up. Don't apologize, you didn't do anything wrong, I can tell you that. I am sorry instead for my behavior." Somehow, apologizing doesn't feel as bitter anymore. That urge to bite my tongue and hold all of my words back was gone, as if the pride I once had were washed away by my tears.

I'm proud of you, Nika. I told you, you can be someone who understands if you try.

I flinched at the sudden voice, not knowing that she could also speak here. You idiot, she could watch you, so she could also possibly give you a message too.

"Ni-nika-" Shukona whimpered, wrapping me up in a big and lifting me up. "Thank you. For not giving up, Nika, I'm so happy I fell in love with such a kindhearted girl like you." Shukona whispered sweet nothings into my ear, making my face melt into a flushed mess. Before I could speak, she dropped me gently, patting my head and with a smiling teared filled face she mumbled, "But I'm not going to stall you any longer, you want to make up with Raijin."

I stared up at her with a cherry face, the heat almost countering my ice exterior. I scoffed, shaking my head and folded my hands, "I don't deserve someone as sweet as you Shu, you're going to be happy with someone else. I think we both know that. You're more kind than I'll ever be, responsible, you're the ideal noble in my eyes. You're wonderful, more than I ever had been. You have no idea how much your presence has impacted my life, you have no idea how much you've saved me during the darkest moments of my life. Shukona," I took her hand, placed it on top of my cheek and for the first time, smiled out of pure joy, beaming with a grin, albeit being mixed up with guilt.
