Music of the Night

Chapter 26

Mizuchi decided to relax rather than join her friends for dinner tonight. Lately, they've been acting strange for her to hang out around them. Not to lie, she loved her friends but their unnatural behaviours were starting to weird her out.

She figured maybe she'll call for takeout tonight to be delivered outside of the school's compound. She needed some time for herself and lately, the teachers have been firing more homework at her. Mizuchi wanted to slam her head on her desk.

How the hell was she supposed to know pressure and momentum when she is living in the moment?

She decided to complete her math homework tomorrow and she can't understand why her science homework needed her to learn physics on topics like magnets and electricity as if she was some engineer. Those aren't things needed if she wants to be a fashion designer!

"I won't even understand a thing if I tried to search for the answer online," she complaint to herself. But her mind was drifting off to other matters.

She wondered what that bat Arthur is doing right now? 

The harlequin rabbit was starting to suspect something out of that Chiroptera, with his attitude during their first encounter and now she can't help but smile at him. Has she thought about her ex and the idea of them getting back together? Yeah, but it's not as extreme as it was before.

Mizuchi has seen him hanging out with his friends, still bragging about cute girls but never about her. She remembered Haru's warning about staying away from that blind bat. It was an inner relief to hear that the Netherland dwarf rabbit only saw him as a little brother rather than be part of the bunny's string of harem.

She shouldn't think too deep into this because the last encounter was her visiting him at the infirmary, he sounded happy at her presence. She remembered how retold her about his favourite novels, a hobby she couldn't imagine him doing because of his blindness.

But then, that bat is proof that anything is possible. Well, most things...

She remembered her mother's words when she first enrolled into Cherryton: Be proud of herself and her efforts.

Efforts? Well, Mizuchi knew that wasn't the case with her ex, even if he was the only other harlequin rabbit in the school. But with Arthur, she felt like there was some sort of progress when she was around that Honduran white bat. She still has a pang of guilt on how she first treated him when she first encountered him at the cafeteria.

Bless that bat for being so forgiving!

Mizuchi wondered if one of these days, she will make time to talk to him. Something about his voice which complimented his fogged up blue eyes reminded her of those characters in children's storybooks. She had her ears down when she remembered how they both held hands at the medical wing.

It was comforting and she wouldn't mind doing that again.

Just then, her phone buzzed to notify her that her that her food order of veggie burger with sweet potato fries and cherry cola have arrived.

...

Arthur just finished his dinner with Aoba at the cafeteria. Tonight's menu for both carnivores and herbivores were udon noodles. Now for Arthur, he only knew the food by touch, smell and even sound. Noodles and pastas to him reminded the bat on worms, the most succulent annelids to eat. Rice is like those tiny maggots that wriggled in some of the leftover food as well as caterpillars with their leaves.

The only difference between carnivore and herbivore's udon is that carnivores have eggs inside while herbivores get lotus root and some boy choy leaves.
