Her Mind Wanders

When Time Doesn't Matter

"I'll come with you."

Ayama didn't expect him to invite himself. After all, he was the one who was the most guarded or even more accurate, the only guarded individual from her. 

Could he be planning to observe me? It doesn't matter anyway.

Well, as for Saiki he didn't expect himself to speak before thinking. He just comforted himself that it was to observe her. Or if given the chance, confront her. But he thinks that he needs more time.

After all, right now, she was advancing her plan pretty much with success. It was pretty much a smooth-sailing for her. Although, pulling an innocent child into dating isn't that easy.

Ayama never commented about him again as if he wasn't a threat at all. She just focused on pleasing Kaidou.

From the precognition he was having, one thing he could be sure of is that what she's doing will harm a lot of people. Till the day she finished her plan to today, he was getting precognition in continuous manner.

It was irregular and had no actual schedule, even the content wasn't consistently about that certain nightmare.

Sometimes, it will only be little bits of when Ayama started coaxing Kaidou. Or just the time Kaidou had his powers. It was completely random.

Seeing her dating Kaidou, leading him right at his nose. But he didn't expect for her to properly play the role of a girlfriend. They were sweet, a proper couple.

His fist tightens unknowingly.

If he wasn't having the little bits of those dreaded ending where her plan was to dominate the world, he would be claiming that he knows she was in love with Kaidou too. He might even support her as favorability meter was consistent, a never changing 85.

As for Kaidou, he was gradually warming up to her, he knew that he'll accept Ayama sooner or later if nothing much happens.

He was always thankful for her gifts and her encouragement. Right now, she was shielding him and supporting him being a chuuni. After all, the one who was giving her so much of inspiration will be the chuuni Kaidou. The one with a talent for exaggerated op presentation.

He had his guesses about the terms. The P in MCP was protagonist. If he's right, Kaidou was some sort of protagonist in a story she's making.

But there were still matters of great importance he didn't know, like how will she turn the real life shape into her fantasy.

As they were walking towards the game shop, Saiki listened to Ayama's thoughts. Glancing once in a while.

Just like last time, she didn't talk much, only starting a few small talks. They were silent all the way but Saiki found it comfortable.

It was the same feeling as always whenever the two of them walk home together.

It was a conincidence at first, nothing deliberate at all. But since they share the same class and the houses were just across each other, it became a natural thing to walk home together.

Reaching the game shop. He pushed open the door for Ayama.

"Thanks, by the way, Saiki, do you like playing games too?" Ayama smiled lightly.

"Yes."

"Hmm... what would you recommend?"

Saiki stared at her. Her eyes were so innocent but some of her thoughts were like it was from someone else. Aside from that, she's the same inside out.

Regarding the reactions towards strolling around right now, it was like she was in a new environment.

She was mysterious. He didn't know anything that she likes or dislikes. Aside from the simple question and answer last time, he couldn't read her.
