Kiyo's POV :
After the axe kick that Haruka and Ibuki delivered, the only thing we could heard is the former store clerk's scream in agony. The special force is now going back to their seats except Haruka and Akito in which Haruka seems to be thinking something and Akito is just waiting for her to move. I don't think she's thinking something that could put the former store clerk in more despair but a different one. I can't see her eyes since it's blocked by her bangs.
Akito : " Haruka? Are you still not returning to your seat? "
When Akito reminded her, she started moving but in a slow pace. Even I am getting confused in her action. A few more minutes she have reached our row but she didn't sat in her seat, Akito did though. Now, Airi is also confused, so she ask her...
Airi : " Haruka-san? Is there something wrong? " She asked worriedly
However, Haruka didn't say anything. It must be something big for her to keep thinking about this, if she wether say it or not.
Haruka : " A-airi...y-you see... "
Is it about for Airi only? If she's being this reluctant on saying this to her, it means that their friendship is in the line right now. She's afraid that their friendship would be broken if she say what's in her mind. I could hear Keisei tapping his thighs with his index finger, he's getting impatient.
Keisei : " Just tell it alr- "
Akito cut Keisei by placing his right arm in front of Keisei, telling him to keep quiet. Akito is a perceptive person especially when it's about his friends. Even though he don't know what Haruka want to say, he knows the reason behind why she's having hard time saying it. Airi seems to get the the situation Haruka is in, she hold Haruka's hands and reassured her.
Airi : " It's okay, Haruka-san. You can tell it to me. "
We're now starting to get some attention and Haruka noticed this, which made her more reluctant in speaking. Sigh, Dio.
{ Dio : What is it, King?
Kiyo : Sigh.. I'll overlook that so.. give us five some privacy.
Dio : " Hai~ "}
Time Magic : Freeze
After he casted his spell, everyone except us stop moving. Since their not even blinking and I can't hear them breathing, I confirmed that they would not know of what's about to happen. The four have noticed the change and know they are confused. Dio told them what's happening and now we focused our attention to Haruka. It seems she's starting to speak..
Haruka : " Y-you see..A-airi.. I-i thought of you..as w-weak.."
This made us confused. I tried to look back on her actions and her future actions especially when Airi was expelled through my memory, and then..... I see, that's what she meant.. this is really impossible for me to know unless I don't see her actions when Airi was expelled. I could see Airi taken aback for a moment but recollected her thoughts and let Haruka continue her confession.
Haruka : " that's why I want to p-protect you.. I feel the feeling of s-superiority and s-satisfaction when I do that.. because your weak, after all..that's the same back then I was in the middle school..that's why I couldn't find a decent friend..."
We could only listen to her and not interrupt her in her confession. Of course there are feeling of bewilderment from us. Haruka started crying..
Haruka : " That's why I decided to not make any friend in high school..but.. before I knew it, you guys are there.. and because of Airi..I remembered that feelings again..and went for it.. I want to protect you, be there for you.. because I thought you were weak..but after I watched this video.. I realized I'm wrong..I thought I know you more than anyone..but I'm wrong..your much even stronger than me...and Kiyopon know you much better than me.. maybe I'm just the same as Kushida..if she is obsessed in everyone liking her..then I'm obsessed in being higher than someone...maybe that's because I hate her so much.. because she's making me realized this.."
