The Purpled-Eye Goddess

Chapter 3: Rashomon

Athena's POV

"Yes, Sir, certainly, it was I found the body . I went to cut my daily quota of cedars , when I found the body in a grove in a hollow in the mountains.........blah blah blah. "

"Purple, do you know the killer of the samurai?" Pinky asked to me .

Ma'am told us to read the whole story of Rashomon and I think it's challenging for me especially it is first day of school .

Woahhhh, I know first day is introducing day but Ma'am said we know each other because they' re also my classmates when I was junior high . So, Ma'am said we better read the story for .. better understanding . heheheh .But reader, you don't mind asking me what happened before this .

(Flashback)

#Corridor

"Pinky, let's go now to principal's office to get our I.D ."

"Yeah , come on !"

"Hello, Ate Athena!"- Yanna

"Hi, where are you going Yanna?" I asked this little girl in front of me .She is 8th grader in Freelympus.

"I will get my I.D in principal's office .How about the two of you, Ate ?" she asked with puppy eyes .

Ohhhh, how cute .She's good in writing also .Like poem and short stories.

A/N: Ahhmm, like the Author of the story right? hahaahaah. (evil smile)

I think its better not to bother you Miss Author, I might think Tajumaru's soul is inside of your body.

A/N: Hey !

Hahaahhahah....Miss Author ,I'm just joking .Back to reality, we go inside the office and write our name in log book.

"Miss Festin , your I.D ."

"Thank you Ma'am !"

Yanna wave her hand as she go to their building.

"Bye bye , unnie !"Sometimes she call me unnie and also Ate Athena .

As we walk and go upstairs ,because our schedule was given also by the teacher in office and our classroom is upstairs , I heard the students murmured.

"Oh, the top notcher is here ." the girl with pony said sarcastically.

"As I look at her , she's not good all!" I know Pinky will shout but I handed her and we run looking for our classroom.

"Why are you afraid to them ? They're just saying those words because they envy you. And I don't want anybody will talk to you with that kind of words ."I know Pinky was angry because her face was so red. But I know she's not mad at me but to those girls.

"It's okay, don't bother yourself about them . They don't know me . They don't see their self before they judge other people." I smile at her to ease her emotions .

"Yeah, yeah !"I know she understands me.

We usually encountered that kind of situation especially when we we're junior high .And I didn't mind them . I know I didn't do anything bad to them .

(End of Flashback)

"Hey, Purple ,"

"What?"

"Who do you think ?" - pinky

"Who ? think? what?"

"Your day dreaming!" she exclaimed .

"No, I'm not .What did you ask ?"

"Who is the killer of the samurai?"

" Ahhhhhh, for me the killer was ......." I slowly open my mouth and she waits for my next words .

"Read it again , and again .I don't know !"

I scratched my head to tell her that it is hard to analyze who's the killer of that man. Engggg. I disappoint her because she waited to my answer .

"I know Pinky ,you're disappointed because you know I can answer everything but this story catch my attention .Puzzle was inside of it . Akutagawa was good .I'm hopeless !" I fell my head to give her a sign that it was hard to know . If I had given a chance to talk with Akutagawa in cemetery. Joke !
