Iroha pov: Mumei-senpai leaned on a tree and just looked at us. "Talk about it to her," was all she said before playing with her hair.
"What do you want to do?" Koyori asked
"What you want to do!" I stated
Koyori shook her head in dismay and grabbed me, saying, "No, tell me what YOU want!" She loudly spoke.
"Look, I'm a samurai. I have an honor code. I'll do whatever you want. Just decide," I said.
"Yes, you are a samurai, but please, Iroha, I don't want to be oblivious; I want to figure out what you want without biases," Koyori said.
Without biases...
"Koyori, I apologize, but I need to humbly tell you that I don't want to destroy everything personally, but if you want to, I will make it my code to do so, and I will be your blade," I told her.
Koyori nodded. Mumei-senpai's expression changed, and I tilted my head to question what it was about.
"Koyori, your thoughts are all jumbled." Mumei-senpai said
Koyori shook her head, probably trying to snap out of the trance she was seemingly in. She stared deep into my eyes but still smiled at me. "I am glad I know what you want," Koyori stated.
"Wait, Koyori, please think everything through. Please don't think you have to change your mind because of me. If you want to destroy, so be it. I will be with you all the way because I love you. I'll slaughter anyone you ask me to!" I said to her:
Koyori frowned at those words and sighed, "But is that what you want, Iroha?" She asked
I froze and stared at her. Is that what I want? Do I want to slaughter anyone she asked me to kill?
"Iroha, I am not going about this half-assed if I decide to destroy everything. I mean, all of our friends and family, every last person but you and me and a few others." Koyori coldly said
Those words hit deep. I didn't realize what that actually meant until now. She will destroy everything, and that's her wish.
"I'll follow it! I love you and always will, no matter what you do. I will never change my mind about you, Koyori. This is my stance. I'll follow you no matter what. If you choose to destroy, I won't complain. I keep telling you this." I said to her:
"You aren't understanding that your code is to protect people as a samurai. Are you going to throw it all away because I want to destroy everything? That's stupid and completely illogical. You have so much going for you, yet you say you will follow me no matter what. You don't have to agree with me!" Koyori said
I grabbed Koyori by her clothes and pulled her closer to me, capturing her lips before pushing her away and breaking into tears.
"Koyori, I'm honestly sick of controlling myself. I'm always indecisive, so please decide what I want to do!" I yelled
"Iroha, I can't do that; you have to decide on your own. Yes, your decision will influence me because I'm indecisive too. I realized that destruction is easy; anyone could destroy it, so no, I value rebuilding!" Koyori said
"I don't want to destroy you, but I don't want to disappoint you!" I said
"You won't disappoint me, damn it. I love you too much to be disappointed in you, so please tell me if you want to destroy me or not, and tell me with confidence that it's your decision and not something you think will be better for me!" Koyori yelled
I began to rack my brain and took a deep breath.
"I don't want to destroy!" I yelled
"I don't want to destroy anymore," Koyori said.
"You decided that because I said that," I scoffed.
"No..." Koyori said.
"She's telling the truth; she decided that awhile ago, but she wants something else," Mumei-senpai said.
"What is it?" I asked
"Revolution..." Koyori said
"Huh?" I questioned.
"Holox will take over the world, and then we will start a revolution. Everyone will destroy each other, but then we will rebuild everything, and maybe the world will shape up," Koyori said.
I liked that idea better; she isn't just mindlessly destroying, but I don't mind her original idea; however, she decided this on her own, apparently, so I'm happy about that.
"Iroha, please don't just follow me because you are in love; please tell me your point of view. I want to consider it." Koyori said
Before, she never even asked me what I wanted, but now she's considering me too much. I don't mind that she wants to know what I want, but it's odd that she's acting like this all of a sudden.
"Koyori, you are adorable," I said to her.
She began to blush, and I smiled at her. I realized that Mumei-senpai has seen us kiss and stuff; she may tell the others, and they'll know about our relationship.
"Don't worry, I won't tell." Mumei-senpai said
"Can you read minds?" I asked
"Correct, but you don't have much to read." Mumei-senpai said
"What are you getting at?" I asked
"She called you stupid," Koyori stated.
"What the hell, Senpai!" I yelled
Mumei-senpai laughed and smiled, "Sorry." She said I forgave her, but still, she didn't have to say something that obvious.
"We should probably head back, and you two can start planning." Mumei-senpai said
"Got it also; can we stay?" Koyori asked
"Of course I'm not going to force you to leave now." Mumei-senpai stated
We are lucky that Mumei-senpai is so nice that she isn't forcing us to leave even though we kind of barged into her vacation.
"Lui is fond of you, and I'm fond of you, so it's okay." Mumei-senpai said
Koyori seemed extra happy about things; maybe she finally found her purpose, as did I. We both came to an understanding.
