Homesick

Chapter 11 - Misunderstanding

And here we are back again for this shit.

Let's get started before I waste too much time.

____________________________________________

It's been a week since the attack now and it all seems calm for the most part.

The CPU's recovered perfectly fine and everything is back to formality.

Connor just got back from helping Neptune with cleaning up the Basilicom. The hangout room was practically destroyed. Barely anything was salvageable. So they had to spend a while making the place suitable for existing in.

After some hard work, it's been fixed and even looks better than it did before.

Neptune was glad nothing important or sentimental got damaged.

Anyway, right now, Connor is just relaxing at home after another day at the guild.

He was about to get up and get something to eat when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Getting up he goes over to open it and is met by a familiar face that looks sort of different.

The girl in front of him looked like Uzume, only if Uzume went through a serious goth phase.

Now he's imagining Compa as the well loved "big titty goth girl" and he's liking the image a lot.

Right, task at hand.

Before the girl can say anything, he spoke up.

"Ah howya Uzume. What's goin on with ya? Hey you look different, did ya do somethin with your hair?" He asked.

Technically, he's not wrong calling her Uzume. She technically is Uzume. Kurome is just the name her enemies gave her for convenience.

"Hello... Connor... I'm here to simply "pay a visit" as they would say."

"Cool. Come on in there."

Now it was her turn to be a bit surprised. She wasn't expecting this sort of hospitality. Sure she looked sort of like Uzume, but doesn't he realised she's the evil version of the girl he knows? Does he seriously just think she's the other her or is he just nice like this?

'He also talks funny.'

She hesitantly steps in. Maybe this way she can learn about him more and what he's capable of.

"Was goin to make somethin for meself, want anything?" He asked.

She shook her head.

"No. I don't need anything."

"Ya sure? I know ya likes honey on toast. Can do that for ya."

Kurome was now at an impass. She was going through a dilemma in her mind.

How does he know that? Honey on toast is her favourite thing in the world! He must have known from her other self.

'Damnit... No... I don't want it... I don't need it... I definitely don't need it...... Oh but it's been so long since I've had it! Maybe I can use this to trick him, make him think I really am here as me.'

She gave in, the temptation was too much for her to handle.

"Hmm. Alright, sure. That would be nice. T-Thank you." She said as he nodded, turned around and went to the kitchen. 'Did I just stutter!? What kind of evil entity stutters!'

"Ya can have a seat in the sittin room if ya want. Penny is just in there." His voice called out.

Penny? Who's this Penny? Is she someone here to stop her? Is he truly onto her?
