Her Mind Wanders

The Superficial Genuinity

They all waved goodbye to each other, as Ayama waved back with a huge smile on her lips. 

Her eyes holding genuine joy as if she enjoyed their time together with sincerity.

On the way home...

Saiki noticed that both of them were walking on the same road however Ayama seems like she was off to her own daydreams once again that she didn't seem to take notice of him.

Only halfway to their destinations did she seem to perceive him. Smilingly asking him, if his house was in the same way with a small smile.

He only nodded silently as he focused on how her mind wanders from sweets to world domination once more. It feels like the only things she minded were sweets and ideas of how to wreck havoc.

He can support the former but not the latter.

He wished she was just another Kaidou.

Just another annoying classmate of his.

Ayama continued to drift off as she took note of how Saiki seems like someone who dislikes being with attention. Also noting how he seems to always have his guard up.

A few steps away though, Ayama had her mind elsewhere.

'Does he know something? Not like he can do anything if he knows what I'm planning. Hmm~ right~ the world needs me to bring great interesting things to cure their boredom!! I'm sure he'll pay no mind~ Hmm~ Or he might not afford the consequences~ That would be too pitiful for Kaidou. Wait...'

As Saiki wordlessly listens to her flawless plan, he had an urge to question her but he restrained himself. He still didn't know that much about this fear or if it is even that. He realizes that he must careful too once he heard her words.

He comforted himself that there was still no one who was more powerful than him. 

She seems to be just another normal person, except for the dangerous thoughts. 

And Kaidou was his constant reminder just how far human minds can build their own worlds.

He just walked with her. Ayama finally put down the world domination thing as she just walks peacefully with him. 

Her mind paying attention whether the person beside her was comfortable or not.

She was a person who can guess the comfort of other people, putting herself on the shoes of others.

It was how she can feel their personalities and character just after meeting them. Not like she always puts them first before herself.

She's not that considerate of a person. It was always for a reason: for her to execute matters in a perfect manner.

Saiki, however, realizes something. Now that he took his mind out from suspicion, he finally realized how peaceful this walk was. Ayama also stopped her planning and put him into consideration whether he was comfortable or not.

It was like a big break.

It was as if time itself didn't matter as much as this peace.

Maybe it was because Ayama was quiet and not in constant daydreaming.

Yes... That might be it.

Leaving it at that, he didn't mind walking home with her once more.

May it be for keeping tabs on her or just having this peaceful walk.

Saiki looked at her sideways but found her thoughtful face somewhat... Cute.

What? Cute?
