Chapter 25

Previously on Chapter 24

I still find it hard to believe that every boys in Inazuma Caravan are falling in love with me. I don't know how to react to this situation. All of these is making me feel... conflicted.

-Carefree-

Y/N P.O.V

I wake up the next morning. I was confused when I realize I'm inside the tent. Kazemaru must've brought me here. A soft smile starts to form on my lips. I let out a sigh as I run my hand through my hair. How do I face them after finding out they're all in love with me?

I know I can't avoid them forever. We're all a part of this team. We're bound to meet and train together. Not to mention, we have the Aliea Academy to fight with. I let out a sigh and sit up. Things just keeps on getting more complicated for me.

I move to stand up and walks out of the tent. Everyone is busy preparing themselves to use the facility to train. Endou turn to look at me. A grin makes his way to his face.

"Ah, L/N. Good morning!" He said. The others turns their heads to my direction. He rushes over to me. "Are you feeling okay?" He asked. I turn my head to look at my hands.

"Ah, right. We need to get that treated. Haruna?" Kidou said, turning to look at his little sister. Otonashi rushes off to get the first aid kit. Kidou gently guide me to a chair.

Otonashi walks back towards me. I lift my hand, allowing her to treat it. I wince in pain when she dab a rubbing alcohol on the nail marks. "Sorry, L/N-Chan. Are you okay?" She asked, turning to look at me with a worried gaze.

"Yeah... I'm okay. I'm just glad that my mom is safe" I said. I turn to look at the others and smiles softly. "I'm sorry for troubling all of you. It feels like it's all I'm good at... causing trouble for this team" I said, lowering my gaze as I said the last sentence.

"That's not true!" Kidou exclaimed, making me jump. I turn my head to look at him with a startled gaze. He walks up to me, placing his hands on my shoulders. "No matter what happened... we'll always be here for you. You are never a trouble, L/N" he said.

"Kidou..." I said. I turn to look at the others to see them nodding their heads. "Everyone..." I said. I smile softly at them. "Thank you. For always making me feel like I belong here" I said.

"That's because you are!" Domon said, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. "Right, everyone?" He said. He turn to look at the others and let out a nervous laugh. I stare at him with a confused gaze.

I turn to look at the others to see them frowning at him. I realize they were jealous of Domon's close proximity with me. I clear my throat, making them snap out of their own world.

"Can you all not... you know, act like that? It's making me even more confused. Please... don't treat me any different from before. I may know what all of you feel about me now. Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciate them. Just... try not to let it distract us from our main goal to defeat the aliens. Can you all do that for me?" I said. They blink their eyes at what I said.

Endou smiles and gently pat my shoulder. "Of course, L/N. Anything for you" he said. Everyone else agrees with my request, making me smile gratefully at them.

"Thank you, everyone" I said. I turn to look at Otonashi as she finishes bandaging my hands. "Is bandaging my hands really necessary? It's just small nail wounds..." I said, lifting my hands to stare at them.

"Of course! It's so your wounds won't get infected by air exposure. You know how dusty air can be, L/N-San!" She said, placing her hands on her hips while staring at me with a stern gaze. "Now, what did I tell you about hurting your own body, hmm?" She said. I let out a nervous laugh as I move to hide behind Kidou.

"Your little sister is scary, Kidou... save me" I said, while clutching onto his cape. He turned to look at me over his shoulder, laughing softly. He shakes his head and turn to look at Otonashi, who just pouted at me. I just stick my tongue out playfully at her.

"Why you!" She yelled out. I yelped and run off with her chasing close behind me. I run in circles around the boys who let out an amused laugh at our little act.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please I'm truly sorry!!" I yelled out as I continue to run, trying to avoid her wrath. I dodge her attempt to tackle me down. "Hey, I'm injured! Go easy on me!!" I yelled out as I keep running from her. She's surprisingly fast.

I run towards one of the training equipment and jump up. I lean my back as I let out a sigh of relief. I turn my head to look down to see Otonashi can't climb up.

"Ah... looks like I'm safe. I'm never getting down from here. Welcome to my humble abode" I said, gesturing to the structure. Everyone let out a laugh at my comment. I just grin at their reaction. "Sorry, Otonashi..." I said. She just sighs and calms down.

"Okay, get down, L/N" Kazemaru said. I just shake my head rapidly at what he said. He stares at me for a few seconds. He turns his head to look at Otonashi. "You really scared her, Otonashi" he said, turning to look at her. Otonashi let out a nervous laugh.

"Sorry, L/N... please come down" she said. I stare at her with a doubtful gaze. "Please? I didn't mean to scare you to the point you have to climb so high" she said. Her eyes getting teary as if she feels bad for scaring me. My eyes soften as I jump down from the construction. I walk towards her and gently wrap my arms around her.

"I was only messing around, Otonashi..." I said. I hear a sniff and pulls away to look at her. I give her a small smile and lift my hands, gently wiping her tears. "I'm sorry" I said. She only smiles at me. I yelped when she pinches my side.

Eventually, I let out a laugh which makes her rolls her eyes. But she laughs along with me nonetheless. The others who's been witnessing our little playfulness ended up laughing too. It's so nice to have such a caring friends like them. For once... it's nice to be so carefree.
