Hiya! S.K. Heart here with another story! 😘
Yuzu starts acting weird when the school goes to a dream trip at the ruins of the castle of King Hiryuu. On the other hand, Mei starts having dreams of a weird girl in red hair. What's up with Yuzu and wh...
'Now, how the heck can I explain what just happened to everyone?! Like, I was acting on impulse while saving those people and I do not regret it, but now things are looking reaaaaaally bad for me! I cannot just say that 'Hey, do not worry guys, I cannot die so it is all fine'! YEP, DEFINITELY NOT SAYING THAT!'
"Miss Aihara! I repeat, are you okay? You look like you got badly injured." "Huh? Oh no, do not worry! This is just from the other people, yep, totes not me! I don't even have an injury! Hahaha, let's just go inside and start the bus kay?" I nervously talk to the teacher who is collecting our papers for the trip. "Okay then... Since we are all set, let us go." And I get inside the bus, my friends and Mei just behind me.
I quickly launch myself at the back, where there are 4 seats on the left and other 4 on the right, just across each other for us to chat and have enough space to talk privately, since all the others are mostly in the front. Here are the arrangements

So yeah, it is pretty cool that we have much space. It will also make my explanation less embarrassing.... I hope they believe it!
Once everyone is seated and the engine starts, I stand on my chair and turn to the others. It seems that they are somewhat glaring at me, but with much concern? I really don't know what to make of this...
"Okay, soooooo..... is everybody feeling alright?"
Yep, now it is all glares. I shrink to my seat but still can't escape Mei's intense gaze. She can be rather intimidating once she tries... 'I didn't think this through! How can I reveal THAT to them?!'
".....Yuzu."
"Hai?!"
"You promised us an explanation."
"Ummm.... I don't get hurt easily?"
"Oh my gosh, Yuzucchi you did not just say that! We basically saw your legs get smashed!"
"Yeah, and you ripped of a car's doors, getting burned in the process of saving those people! Yuzu-nee-san..."
"Aihara. You cannot possibly imagine that you may get out of this situation that easily." Maruta nods in agreement.
"Aihara Yuzu! On mine and Suzuran Senpai's behalf, I cannot let you off the hook that easily!"
"ALRIGHT! Okay, stop pestering me! The truth is that I am a Dragon Warrior, the Ourryu, the one that served The Great King and I am immortal thus I easily save people since my role is that of a shield and I am almost 5000 years old, I already lost count and that can also explain my weird way of speaking!THERE!"
I await their response is silence, but a giggle soon interrupts it. Soon, that giggle of a certain pink haired teen turns into a fit of laughter among my friends, all except for Mei who looks genuinely surprised.
"For a moment I thought you were serious Yuzucchi!"
Their fit is shortly cut off by a teacher. As they composed themselves, I continue staring at Mei. 'Does she believe me? That is not possible without any proof... Does she know something I do not....?'
"Alright, that was refreshing... Now, it is about time you explained yourself to us."
"Taniguchi-san! I just did!"
"Yuzupon... Do you perhaps think of us as retards?"
"Shirapon-senpai, I could never-"
"Aihara-san... If you prefer not to talk about it, it is fine. There is no need for lies..."
"Maruta-senpai, I can assure you, I-"
"Just like you Aihara Yuzu. Finding stupid excuses is just the way you communicate."
"Hey, watch your tongue Hi-"
"For once I agree with my sister. I love you Yuzucchi, but that is just too ridiculous! Come on, just tell us the truth!"
"Shut up! Just... SHUT UP! I am TRYING to explain what is happening and you are not making this easy! You have every right not to believe me, but trying to confuse me in order for me to spit it out is the right move right now?! Really?! Alright, okay! Does anyone have any sharp object?"
"I-I have a pocket knife..."
"Maruta, why?!"
"You never know who might hide in the shadows, and my mother would not let me leave without it...."
"Perfect! Do you mind?"
"By all means, take it. I never liked these types of things..."
As I am about to take the knife, the bus stops and a teacher comes to the back. He informs us that we had arrived in the hotel we would be staying. I grumble but follow the other girls outside to grab our suitcases. Once we were set, we went inside and the receptionist gave us the keys to our double rooms, which were by the way arranged exactly like our seats in the bus.
The others waved us goodbye as we went our separate ways to unpack. Once we were inside our room, Mei spoke up.
"Yuzu.... Is really what you said true?"
"You may believe what you wish to."
As I was ready to turn my back to her, she asked of a question that made my insides turn and twist, pain and surprise hitting me harder than I was prepared for.
