Dark night, Cold heart (Light novel)

Chapter 6 - Friendly Caution

*Knock knock*

"Milady, it's time to wake up. Your breakfast is ready... Milady?"

*knock knock*

"Milady?!"

While I was sleeping, I heard a continuous knock at the door, it was loud and disturbing. Then suddenly, someone was tapping my shoulder.

"Wake up. Tadashi, wake up."

I woke up but still sleepy, then I scratched my eye. "Ngh~ What? What is it? *yawn* I'm still sleepy."

"You need to go, Masato was already here."

After seeing everything clearly, I saw Kurisu sitting on her knees. "Ku-Kurisu?! What are--?!!"

She suddenly covered my mouth. "Shhh.... You're too loud. You need to go now or else, Masato will scold you. Use the window to escape. Can you do that?"

Her eyes were cold dead. It seems that she had a hard time waking me up.

*nodded*

I escaped from the window, but someone saw me after I jumped from there. It was Masumi.

Both of us was staring each other for a moment, "Goo-Good Morning." I tried to greet her but she didn't respond at all. Another minute passed and she left.

'What's up with her? I feel something strange about her.'

Then, another one appeared. "Tadashi? What are you doing here?" It was Miss Kaede.

*gasp* "Eh? Uhmm... I'm just taking a walk. Hehe..."

"Oh... Well, you should go grab your breakfast now at the kitchen."

"Then I should go now." I started to walked to avoid some questions but...

"Wait!"

"Y-yes?"

"Did you... see Masumi? I was following her a while ago but she's gone all of the sudden."

"Oh. *point finger at the south direction* She went over there."

"Ok. Thank you for your help." And she's gone.

"Phew..."

----------------

I went to the kitchen and I only saw Ayaka, eating alone.

"Uhmm... Good morning."

She put down her cup of coffee and glanced at me. "Oh, good morning."

"Uhmm... Where are the others?"

"Hm? They were already gone to school. Didn't Kaori wake you up?"

'Fck! Did she? I don't know! Since I slept at Kurisu' room last night!' "Maybe... I just didn't heard her knock. Hehe..."

"Well guess so, since you're just getting better. For now, eat your breakfast and get ready for school."

"Scho-school?! Do I need to go to school too?"

She suddenly stood up and come close to me with scary sharp eyes. *glasses up* "Of course you do! Didn't Milady told you that you can do whatever you want as long as you do your work properly?!"

*shiver* "Y-yeah, but-"

She banged her palm onto the table, "So sit your ass here and eat then go! You're student before you became a personal bodyguard of milady. Just because you became one, you're going to stop what's the best thing for you. While you're still alive and young, study hard and put some goals onto your life!"
