The little siren

The pink Puppy at the other side

-Seriously, that meeting was so long. A pink haired boy said while patting his right shoulder. -Ugh, my shoulders ache. He complained as he made his way to the nearest mirror. When Mitsuba reached the mirror, he lightly touched it 2 times and in response the mirror tinkled 2 times and then showed the image of a faceless figure.

-Any incident while I was away? The boy asked while yawning.

-Sir. In his absence, a human girl entered the hallucinatory room, she has been there for a long time.

Mitsuba's Eyes widened. -How long has she been in there?

-More than usual, it seems that she is completely lost in hallucinations. The faceless figure answared.

-Quick, take me to where she is.

Mitsuba rushed to where the girl stayed. When he arrived he saw a pretty girl laying on her knees and looking with empty eyes at the reflection.

Oh, Shit.

-Ahhh. He scratched his head desperately. -Just when that guy came back from his seclusion. He panicked. -I'm done! So done!

-Hey. You there. yes you!

-...

-Are you ignoring me? I'm talking to you!

-...

-Ugh. She doesn't listen to me at all.

The faceless figure approached -Sir. I think we should remove that girl from the room, if she stays here her mind won't resist. It advised him.

Mitsuba Flinched, he absolutely can't bring harm to any human since he's a School Mystery, Or else that boy crazy knife is going to wipe the floor with him.

He approached the girl and tried to talk to her a little more to get her to react, the reflection it was showing her was that of a girl he knew himself.

-Radish-senpai? He said aloud.

Aoi reacted upon hearing Mitsuba, then turned around confused.

-Oh. Mitsuba remembered that time when he met Yashiro, the girl that the reflection showed him back then was like this human. -Are you friends with radish-senpai? Aoi...was it?

-Who?

-Mitsuba Sousuke. Third School Mystery. He introduced himself and held out his hand to greet her. Aoi took his hand with some hesitation. -You were friends with radish-senpai right?

-You mean, Nene-chan? how do you know? She gave him a wary look.

-I met her a while ago, she ended up in this same place and the reflection that the mirror showed her was you, that's why I remember it.

Aoi widened her eyes.

-Well, it also showed her a hell of radishes, though. He made a sarcastic smile.

-Radishes? She frowned.

-Yes, you know her legs were... never mind. She treated me like an unlucky little kohai and wanted to take care of me.

She laughed a little. -That sounds like something she would do... She had a soft spot for cute boys.

-Yes, she was very funny. Mitsuba laughed, remembering her funny faces and reactions.

-By the way... what is this place, er- Mitsuba-kun?

Upon hearing her ask, Mitsuba leaned and sat near her. -The hell of mirrors, I bet you've already heard of that rumour. People who end up here are forced to see what scares them the most.

-...I see. She said, as she understood all that happened. -Makes sense. This place must have showed her that reflection because she missed her friend and was scared of what she thought of her.

It was a really terrible and accurate show.

Mitsuba looked at Aoi, she was making sorrowful face. He got anxious as he didn't know what to do.

-Um... Do you... miss her? He asked, not knowing what else to say.

-A lot. She hugged her knees. -When I saw that reflection, I couldn't take my eyes off of it, even when the Nene-chan there said horrible things. I couldn't.

Mitsuba stared intently and then cluthed his left arm with his right hand. He bit his lips.

-Can I ask you something Aoi-senpai?

-What is it?

-If you could see her again... even if she was  not as she used to be... if she doesn't remenber you... Would you still want to meet her?

Aoi pondered for while, thinking of what to say. -Well... I think it would be sad if she doesn't remenber me but... I'd still want to see her, because I want to know how she's doing, if she's happy, if she got to date someone as she always wanted, these silly things. She smiled.

Mitsuba looked at the girl, frowning. -...You humans are so... childish.

-Is that so? you talk as if you are not a human.

-I'm... not.

-But you act pretty much like any human though. 

He blinked. -What makes you think so?

-You tried to comfort me a while ago, and kept me company. 

Mitsuba was speechless. He got embarassed all of a sudden and turned his face to the oposite side .

-My, did you get flustered? She teased as she stroke his head.

-H-hey, I'm not a pet! Mitsuba complained.

-Your hair looks so fluffy, I couldn't help myself. She continued to stroke his head. He looks like a puppy. 

Mitsuba got upset and got up abruptly. 

-Since you're completely fine now, get out! I'll let you go this time. There is the exit. He pointed at one of the mirrors in the room, the reflection led to the girls bathroom.

Aoi was blown by some kind of force and flew through the mirror Mitsuba pointed. She shrieked by the sudden movement.

-Try not to touch the mirrors from now on. Mitsuba said as Aoi left the space.
