Mistaken Soul: Flower And You

Black Aura (1)

(Alexandra's POV)

About two weeks, I will stay in Cambridge, England.

After my review being a lecturer before was successful, Prof. Matsushima was asking me another favor to come to University C.

The people there invited me to teach once again.

Of course, it was an honor so I accepted it. While this time, Prof. Matsushima accompanying me to go.

After landing safely, at the London International Airport, we quickly went to the train station to catch up on the schedules.

Due to our ticket which we booked before, we dashed inside the train! We didn't want to be late! So we must hurry!

...

In the train from London heading to Cambridge City, I sat on the comfy seat while across me was Prof. Matsushima, he was eating his lunch box.

Today he wore his ir*nman mask, red-wine coat, and a white t-shirt.

If you noticed his head, his coiled hair was cut nicely to cropped fringe style.

How unusual for him to have a haircut, I silently thought inside.

I turned my head back to the scenery outside the window.

I could see the vast yellow field and cloudy sky. Was it going to rain?

Suddenly a voice reached my ears and I glanced at the person. It was the ticket collector man.

He said, "Pardon me, your ticket, please?"

"Ah, yes, here." I took out the ticket and gave it to him. It was the same for Prof. Matshushima too.

The ticket collector man took the tickets from our hands and marked it with his red pen.

He said, "You'll arrive at Cambridge in forty-five minutes. I hope you'll have a good journey." He said with his polite smile. Before he left us, he glanced slightly to Prof. Matsushima and couldn't help to say excitedly,

"Nice mask, Sir. Are you one of the fans of the Ir*nman series as well? Since I was a kid until now, I love watching those shows too!"

Prof. Matsushima indifferently said, "No."

"??"

"I'm not a fan of the Ir*n man series. I just enjoy watching it."

"Wait, isn't that mean you are a fan, Sir?"

"No. As I said, I love watching it, but it doesn't mean I'm infatuated with it. So you think every person in this world when they enjoy something they like, they will become a fan?"

"...uh, yes?"

"Well, not me." He finished his lunch box as he replied short.

He shook his head and advised, "You should search the definition of 'fans', then you can continue your arguments with me. If you were asking why I wore this mark as I'm not a fan of ir*nman? Merely, I just want to wear it. Now, please, you should go back to your work."

Prof. Matsushima remarked about his statement as he pointed out his fact.

He indirectly trying to chase away the man to leave.

Dumfounded.

"..."

Intercepting them, "Sorry, you can go now. Please ignored him." I said with a helpless tone.

The ticket collector reluctantly nodded, he closed the sliding door and left us.

I noticed from the looks of his face, he still couldn't believe Prof. Matsushima was not a fan of an ir*nman series.
