11. Visiting a Friend

Reader's POV

I laid on my bed facing up and my hands were stretched upwards, holding my phone as I booked my plane ticket under a new name. Tomorrow is Wednesday so should I just go tomorrow? If I go there early, I can also look around a bit. But should I really go? I'm still worried about this whole 'A' thing and I'm also taking a diamond with me.

Though, it doesn't matter much. I'll know if 'A' is Mikasa if I get caught. They will take the Idol's Eye back but I can just steal it again. It's better to risk it now than later when one of the more precious diamonds is endangered.

I decided on a ticket and I clicked on it, only to drop my phone on my face.

"Oww," I held my face in my hand as my nose started to sting. Luckily, the pain went away quickly. I had quite a high tolerance to it by now. I sat up and picked my phone, returning to the page I was on. After that, I found a flight that suited my timings and booked a flight. Or rather, I didn't quite click the button as I fell into a deep thought, again.

If I had to risk The Idol's Eye for the security of my base, then I would but then I thought, I didn't really have to. Mikasa wasn't a diamond specialist, she wouldn't know the difference between an original and a fake. Even if she did, she can't confront me about it because she's not supposed to know about that in the first place. So, I can just create a replica of the Idol's Eye to show to her. And after all this, if I'm wrong about her, I can go to her and apologize for all of this. Hopefully, she will understand. But, right now, I'll let myself be paranoid and go with my instincts.

I sighed and put my phone down, deciding to start on the replica after dinner. Then, I began feeling lonely, I felt as if I couldn't trust anyone and I didn't let anyone get close to me because of my trust issues. Trust issues were convenient, sure but they were also problematic. I know I said that I didn't need anyone and that I'd be fine alone but I wanted to take it back. I was so lonely like this. I wanted to keep a dog but I couldn't since I'm out for a lot of time and I could be captured when I'm out, it's possible that I might not return for weeks. I can't just leave it here. Only a person could take care of themselves but what person? I had no family left, I barely had any friends but there's no alive person that I trust that much. I sighed once again, I guess I'll just stay alone like I've been since Dad died.

I could ask one of those three to take care of it but Niccolo's allergic, Floch doesn't want extra work and Porco's still looking for a job.

Whatever. This is not the time to think about that.

I checked the time, 9:00 p.m., time for dinner. I walked to my kitchen only to find that I was completely out of anything I could use as a meal. Damn, I didn't really want to go out now. I could just not eat anything now and go tomorrow but now is a better option since if anyone spots me, escaping will be much harder if I don't have the energy. Plus, it's dark out.

I got to my closet and got ready. A sweatshirt and sweatpants, nothing suspicious. I didn't have a mask ready so I just slapped on makeup, despite me not putting much work into it, it looked completely natural, like I was a different person. I still picked up my white face mask. During Covid, I kinda got used to wearing a mask and always wore it whenever it was possible.

I grabbed my wallet and phone and got out of my mansion and locked it to go to my garage and get in my car. I got in my white Toyota Corolla and drove off. I was in the mood for a walk but the nearest sign of civilization was 32 km away from here. The nearest grocery store was even farther.

This place was empty, no one lived round here other than me, no other human to be precise. Animals did, there was a shore, trees. I was basically living in the woods. That wasn't very convenient for someone who's afraid of bugs but this was the best I could come up with if I wanted to live in luxury while hiding everything.
