Sora sighed as he walked back alone, his gaze fixed on the children playing hide and seek. Suddenly, someone slammed their hand on his head, startling him. He turned around to see Vinnie standing there.
"What the... Vinnie?" Sora exclaimed in surprise.
Vinnie took off her bag and threw it at Sora.
"Carry it carefully," she commanded.
"Why do I have to carry it?! You just refused to know me at school," Sora replied, hanging Vinnie's bag on his shoulder.
"Because you are my slave? ┐( ˘_˘)┌, and also, we have to pretend to be strangers at school," Vinnie explained, walking ahead while observing her surroundings.
"Sure, sure. I don't want to befriend a demon either," Sora muttered, walking behind Vinnie, lost in his thoughts about what had happened in the principal's cabin.
Sora was shocked when the principal revealed that he knew about his father.
"How do you know that?" Sora demanded.
The principal returned to his desk and sat on his chair, meeting Sora's gaze.
"You were around seven years old, Sora, when that incident happened. I believe you still have fragments of those memories, am I right?" the principal asked.
Feeling intense pressure, Sora clenched his fists, and his demeanor suddenly changed. He looked directly into the principal's eyes.
"You know too much about me, and it makes me want to kill you right now," Sora said, his voice filled with a chilling intensity.
Sensing the intense killing aura from Sora, someone knocked on the door.
"Hey, Dad! Are you there?" Ash walked into the room, holding a pile of documents.
"Yes, dear? I'm currently in a meeting with this young man," the principal replied, smiling at Ash.
Ash glanced at Sora, whose eyes were closed as if he were sleeping.
"Goblin?" Ash asked, puzzled.
The principal laughed, looking at Sora.
"Huh, goblin? What are you talking about, Ash?"
"I told you about that guy, right? He's the one right here," Ash explained.
Sora opened his eyes and got up.
"I'm leaving," he said and walked out of the room without looking back at them.
The principal was surprised by Sora's attitude.
"He didn't even ask for my permission ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ."
Ash placed all the documents on the principal's desk and let out a sigh.
"You're too soft on everyone. Behave like the principal ʕ´• ᴥ•̥'ʔ."
"Don't scold me now (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)," the principal replied, putting his head down on the table.
Meanwhile, lost in his thoughts, Sora heard Vinnie shout his name loudly as a car sped towards him.
Startled, he snapped back to reality and saw the approaching car. Without thinking, he dropped Vinnie's bag to the ground and closed his eyes.
"This is it," he thought, bracing himself for impact.
In a fleeting moment, as the car raced towards him, someone pulled Sora back, holding him firmly by the hips. Sora and the mysterious savior tumbled to the ground, leaving Vinnie rushing towards them. With a sigh of relief, she realized that Sora was safe.
