The other side of a glass tank - Octavinelle (& Twisted Wonderland) X Reader

Chapter 103 - Long lasted silence

I'll leave the note here so to not disturb the end of your reading. ^^

Here to remind you all of the Q&A and the upcoming winter vacation at the Aquarium.

If you have any requests, please do leave them here! And if you have any questions...

Say, maybe about what happened last chapter °3°... do ask away!

That said, I'll leave you to the actual chapter. Hope you enjoy! ^^

How many times had you done this already? They say things usually come in three, but with this here you were already at your forth.

Unlike last time with Azul thought, Yuu was once again with you. Or at least, you could hear their voice in the middle of the black-and-white world you had just been shifted in.

"Professor? I'm-"

"Here you are."

You smiled faintly when reaching forward with your palms and successfully grazing the dark blonde's shoulders.

To see each other you had to maintain some sort of contact, reason why you wordlessly took hold of each other's hand before beginning to look around the newfound environment.

"It kind of resembles Scarabia Dorm..." You thought out loud while gazing over the incredibly tall hallway, which was full of windows on one side, all almost directly framed by decorated columns that went all the way down to the end.

"This must be the Asim's residence." The magicless prefect murmured, making you tilt your head.

"You say? It looks more like a royal mansion to me. It wouldn't surprise me if the dorm was remodeled after one..." You pondered out loud, then shaking your head.

"Then again, this is Jamil's past, so yes, that would make more sense. Which means..." Which meant that this would actually be Kalim's home.

"The reason I'm so sure is because Kalim told us his father... um. Made a donation to the school with his enrollment." The spotted skinned fellow awkwardly let you know, which made a small pause arise as the realization of just how rich the Asim family was settled in.

Thankfully, your attention was soon caught by small, white haired child sprinting past you with a wide smile.

"Hey, Jamil! Let's play! I'm gonna beat you at that board game today." It wasn't difficult to understand that the boy waving wildly to the younger vice was none other than Kalim. Even when devoid of colors, his contrasting hues and cheerful expression were fully recognizable.

"This again, Kalim? You know I'm just going to keep winning. Can we play something else instead?" The other child, who didn't look older than seven while standing between his parents, crossed his arms as his lips pressed together, almost in a sulk. His hair, although surely not as long, still reached about his shoulders.

"Jamil! Don't you take that tone with Master Kalim!" At her son's words, Jamil's mother took on a horrified expression and immediately voiced her disapproval.

"Ow!" What followed was her hand closing into a loose fist and lightly hitting the past sophomore on the head, prompting a startled eek of pain from the latter.

"Now that was uncalled for..." Yuu murmured with a faint frown.

"Master Kalim, thank you for playing with our foolish son." The adult man bowed his head deeply to the meanwhile confused kid, who was blinking with slightly parted lips, not understanding the motivations behind his friend getting reprimanded.
