Chapter 48: Memorable

"Mmmh...what did I do wrong this time..." I said with my hand on my knee and  looking down to avoid Rika's complicated gaze.

Geeta was also beside her, and her expression was even more complicated than Rika's as she massaged her brow.

I was brought there after my class, as apparently I caused a lot of trouble and they needed an explanation or something like that.

I didn't listen well because they lured me here with a poképuff, so I was too distracted to hear their full words.

...but I did get the poképuff, so it isn't that bad.

"Don't you remember, you sort of stole all the electricity generated for the academy, making all of our installation pitch black for a moment, and a lot of data was erased at the same time. Of course there was nothing important among those who disappeared, and for those we did lose we just need to find what Meltan stocked the information for themselves, so we will be able to recuperate all of them soon."

Oh...so nothing wrong happened, that's nice.

"But that's not the problem, now we need to make the pokemon do overtime to regenerate all the energy you took, which I'm sure would violate a lot of conventions if it were heard about...or if they weren't all strong electric-type pokemon who gave us the energy." Geeta added as she started to tighten her tie.

Oh, so nobody important got harmed, that's nice.

"And also, I need to mention that..."

"Geeta...you can stop...he doesn't care." Rika interrupted her as she pointed toward me.

Geeta followed her gaze and looked at me for an instant before sighing. "I guess you're right."

"Ah...listen Luciel, I'm sure you're not realizing the impact of what you've done...or maybe you might, and simply don't give it any value...but this could also negatively impact you." Rika try to explain to me. "But she probably assumed that by my lack of reaction, I didn't understand her...she would be right to assume that, but it would be best for her to change the way she read my feelings. "Alright...the biggest problem you caused is that you provoked once more panic among the students...and if you continue like that, you will lose all the opportunity to make friends."

I left my mouth gasping at this reaction. "What...but why? I didn't even panic this time...is...is it because they had to be exposed to my sight?"

"No, it's nothing like that, it's just that them being forced to close their eye, and some even reported feeling intense dread as if they would die if they opened their eye." Rika tried to reassure me, but it only made my pout.

"It's not my fault that everyone has such bad taste that they die by the sight of the true form of Pandora!" I grabbed Pandora off my shoulder and gave him a deep hug.

But to my surprise, both women altered their shocked look at me then Pandora. "Wait...what the hologram tried to recreate...was your pokemon?"

I shook my shoulder at the question. "I don't know...I can try to ask the hologram if you want."

"No, that's not what I mean...we just thought that you were the one who somewhat infiltrated the AI to create this for whatever reason, as we were already aware of you taking the sense of the Meltan inside the building...so we thought that what happened was because of you...but you're telling me...it was because of your pokemon?"

My shoulder stiffened as I immediately covered Pandora with my body by leaning over him. "No! It's not Pandora! It's all me! He did nothing wrong! Punish me instead for having...euh...infiltrating the...the thingy...but not Pandora!"
