After hearing Sanket's name from Taniya's mouth, Sora was shocked and remained silent for a minute.
"Are you okay, Sora?" Taniya asked.
"H-how? Do you know that name?" Sora stuttered.
"Well, that's a long story, but in short, you still haven't recognized me properly, Sora," Taniya replied.
"I don't know what you're saying at all, but please don't get involved anymore in this," Sora pleaded.
"Huh... you're making me laugh now. It's ALL YOUR FAULT!!!" Taniya exclaimed.
As Taniya uttered those words to Sora, silence enveloped the air around them.
"What do you mean?" Sora asked, confusion evident in his voice.
Taniya turned around and started walking to the left of the park. While going, she stopped and looked back at Sora.
"Know this, Sora, it's not only your story. It's a tale that intertwines the lives of countless souls, each with their own chapters and destinies waiting to unfold," Taniya said with a hint of sadness.
Sora stood there, still trying to comprehend what was happening. He watched Taniya walking away, a mix of emotions swirling within him.
"I guess I should transfer from this school too.." Sora whispered to himself, feeling the weight of his actions.
After two days, Vinnie and Sora were walking in the corridor, heading to their respective classes. As they passed by other students, Sora couldn't help but feel the stares directed at him.
"So, why is everyone looking at you, Vinnie? Did you do something noteworthy in these past few days?" Sora asked, curious about the attention Vinnie was receiving.
"Shut up! Drop dead. They're looking at me because I am beautiful," Vinnie replied with a hint of pride.
"Pfft... Isn't it funny to say it about yourself? Don't you feel embarrassed?" Sora chuckled.
"You're so..." Vinnie began to retort.
Just then, Ash spotted Vinnie and waved excitedly.
"Hey, Vinnie!" Ash called out, catching Vinnie's attention.
"Hi, Ashikha!" Vinnie greeted with enthusiasm.
Sora, feeling puzzled, turned to Vinnie and asked, "Do you know each other?"
"Yes, Vinnie! What are you doing with this goblin?" Ash questioned, giving Sora a disapproving glare.
"G-G-Goblin? Who?" Vinnie stammered.
"This person standing near you," Ash clarified, pointing at Sora.
"Wdym, goblin?" Sora exclaimed, taken aback.
In a moment of frustration, Vinnie slapped Sora and swiftly moved toward Ash, positioning herself in front of her.
"How dare you make my queen sad," Vinnie declared, protective of her friend.
"I-i, what are you doing, Vi-?" Sora asked, still bewildered by the sudden turn of events.
Vinnie proceeded to deliver a flying kick to Sora, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Now, you're calling me a witch, you goblin face," Vinnie scolded, her anger evident.
"Ouch! What the... Sorry about making fun of you earlier, but that's too much now," Sora managed to say, nursing his pain.
"Huh? You know him, Vinnie?" Ash asked, curious about their relationship.
"AbSOolUTtely nOot," Vinnie replied with a nonchalant shrug.
