Multiverse legend of Kurumi Tokisaki

Neo pov

' Just kiss each other already and end this strange atmosphere . '

I think , rolling my eyes looking at the two guys sitting at the same table . And well , looking at the face of this bitch Emerald , I'm probably not the only one who thinks so . Looking a little longer at the profile of her face , I recall the situation from yesterday . I have not forgotten what she said to me and I have no intention of forgetting or forgiving her .

' Who does she think she is ? She appears in our lives out of nowhere and thinks she can take " my " Kurumi . If only I had known that she would be such a snake then I would not have saved her . Now that she has some strength and Kurumi's blessing to live with us , she thinks she can do everything ! She has the nerve ! She is lucky that Kurumi took pity on her .'

I think , annoyed by her meddling in everything , including mine and Kurumi's affairs . Admittedly I don't have " such " relationship with Kurumi , but that doesn't mean that someone like Emerald can . Besides , she will not tell me , how I feel and how I am . Nor will she make a joke of my feelings for Kurumi .

' Admittedly it is my mistake that even though I know Kurumi , I was still fooled by the words of Big Mom . I got carried away by my imagination and jealousy . After all , Kurumi would not accept anyone's advances . In particular not from a guy like Flynt or Emerald . Or anyone else's . '

I think well knowing that something so important as Kurumi's " new frend " , would not escaped from my eye's . Virtually all my time is spent with Kurumi , so it would be impossible for a stranger to be able to approach her . And as much as I dislike her , I believe Emerald would not let that happen either .

And even if Kurumi , would have time without us as it was yesterday . I still don't believe that Kurumi would fall in love or be interested in someone . Kurumi is too busy for that , she is also distrustful . After all even me and Kurumi needed some time together and a life and death situation to trust each other . Emerald also needed a few months of cooperation and a clear debt of gratitude for saving her life for us to be able to trust her enough to work with her .

Hence my certainty that it would be out of character for Kurumi to seriously think about a relationship with a " stranger " . If anything would look like her " interest " it would be when she is playing with someone or teasing them . In this case , knowing Kurumi and her sadistic side , I would fully believe .

' And I don't pretend to be tough or hartless either !!! I don't care what happened to that dust seller or his children . I am a killer who cares about the lives of only a few people in this world . I am a sadist who won't care about anything as long as it doesn't involve Kurumi or the pawn shop . '

I think , knowing myself very well . I have my loyalties and I have my priorities . Other than that I don't care about anything . If it weren't for Kurumi , who lives in this world , I wouldn't even care if the whole world and the people in it disappeared . As long as Kurumi is alive and happy , the rest may burn .

' And yes , it all means that even if I have my loyalty and gratitude as to the pawn shop . In a situation where I would have to sacrifice everyone in the pawn shop to save Kurumi .... I would do it for her . Even if she would hate me because of it '

I think while leaning on my closed umbrella , the tip of which is based on the floor . Throughout the course of my thoughts I did not change my facial expression . Although I did not change my facial expression , I certainly began to feel the fatigue . Maintaining the illusion for so long , is beginning to take its toll on me . I am beginning to lack concentration and aura .

' Well , just holding ordinary illusions is not mentally tiring and does not require so much concentration or aura . My illusions once created can survive without me constantly giving them aura or thinking about them . They are like battery-operated projector displaying stored images . So I just think , create , give as many auras as I want these illusions to be displayd, and that's it . I don't have to do anything more . '

' However, the matter changes with illusions that change in live time . I'm not talking about animated illusions , which I can create as images displayed in a loop like movies , but those that I control and change as I want during their activation . Just like the illusion of invisibility , which wraps around us from all sides . They are quite specific because they requiring me to constantly give them the aura needed to change the image to fit into the changing environment around us '

I think , reflecting on my own skills .

' The best way to explain it . It's like the difference with showing a movie , showing pictures and broadcasting Live. Everything requires different brain power , different focus , accuracy in the details and amount of aura . In the case of the moment where we are as we are now . That is standing still . I just need to keep the same image like photo , which definitely saves the aura and reduces stress .'

I think , knowing very well that this is what I needs at this very moment . A moment of peace and a reduction in aura consumption.

' After all , unlike Kurumi I don't have the infinite aura that she seems to have . Of course I train my aura but still , compared to her , I might as well stand still . '

Thinking about this I look at Kurmu herself , who in her own thought with a smile covered with her hand and obvious amusement in her eyes watched the two men .As always she is beautiful . So beautiful , that just looking at her , I star finding imperfections in myself .

Unlike me , Kurumi does not sweat like a pig . She is like a real lady , always fresh and smelling nice . Her hair is always perfect , not dry , not oily . No split ends . Her skin always delicate and pale , without blemishes or imperfections . Her eyelashes long and dark as night . Her nails are in perfect shape and alweys shiny . Her hands , despite training , do not have a single callus .

..... I have to use twenty different conditioners , shampoos , creams and dietary supplements to be even close to her perfection . I have even started fighting pimples for a few months now . I can't let Kurumi see me with something so disgusting on my face .

' I really stands apart from her .'

I think , knowing that Kurumi will be even more beautiful with time . This is certain . Now Kurumi is still a bud of a flower , waiting to bloom . Like a wine in the cellar waiting to acquire flavor . Kurumi will mature just like everyone else . Her body will be rounder and more toned . And even now I can see that she will not be lacking in any aspect of femininit .

' And what about me ? My mother was not ugly so my genes should be good . Nevertheless ..... Compared to Kurumi , who is like a fairy from a fairy tale I look quite ordinary .I don't feel that I fit into her standards . Although Kurumi has never shown that she has any . It's just annoying to see that I'm not as beautiful as she is . And it's not about jealousy , I just want her to see me as someone perfect just like she is . '

I think irritated . After all , If I were as beautiful as Kurumi , no one would even dare to claim her .

' In the end , the more beautiful Kurumi will become , the greater the competition will become . Who knows eventually some lucky bitch , or dirty bastard would show up and blinde my Kurumi .'

This thought .... Of Kurumi with someone else , makes uncontrollable fury flood my body . The image of me and Kurumi swapped with someone other than me .....

' To prevent this , it would have been enough just to tell her how I feel about her . So why do I still hesitate ? I just have to " tell " Kurumi what I feels . Kurumi won't hate me when I tell her what I feel ... She is not like that . Not for me . I know she won't laugh at me when I'm serious with her .After so much time I already know that . And yet the very thought of possible rejection , of awkwardness as it may arise between us '

' I have killed and tortured people . I have done many sick things for fun . I am not afraid of anything but one thing . Her rejection . I'm afraid to say that I love her more than a normal sister . '

I think , trying as hard as possible not to show anything on my face , which is easy when neither Emerald nor Kurumi pay attention to me . They are still focused on the people in front of us .

' It is not the time or place , to think about such things .'

I think while sighing soundlessly . Then I look at the situation in front of me and begin to wonder when something interesting will happen ..

' I hope we finish soon because my ankles are really starting to hurt because of these shoes ..... Well at least Kurumi seems to like it when I look down on her.... Should I pin her to the wall ? It is certainly an appealing thought .'

I think , lifting my leg to roll my sore ankle .

" You know very well that no matter how many times you come here I will not change my mind . Only because of my debt to your father I let you hide here but I will not help you with anything else " .

Said finally the leader of the gang of oblivion nicknamed Viper , breaking this annoying and unnecessary , tension-filled silence . According to our information he is supposed to be a viper faunus with venomous fangs . The tone of his voice was clearly irritated and the words used by him suggest that he has received the same proposal or request several times already . And he always responded to it in the same way .

" I am already risking everything . Once Xiong find out it's over . Besides, let me remind you that because of the commotion that your bombs caused, fourteen of my men died when the competition broke into my area . "

Said Viper with venom in his voice as his black as night eyes became visibly displeased and literally a few drops of venom dripped from his mouth . However, after taking a breath and brushing his purple hair with his hand , the man calmed down . Wiping his mouth from veno with a handkerchief he took another look at Grey .

" From tomorrow does not come here . I don't want to see you in the club or in my territory , you will no longer be welcome here . And whatever you planning ..... don't involve me or my people . "

Said again Viper with the intention of leaving however Grey did not seem to finish .

" You promised to host me ! Now you want to back out ? "

Said an annoyed and flustered Grey . He clearly did not like the current situation . In contrast to me , because seeing this exchange of words , I felt that in a moment there will be a nice show here .

" And I hosted you ..... Understand kid , I owed a debt to your father . Your stupidity killed him so I will not return this debt to him . For that I return it to you and risk my life in the process . "

Said the leader of the gang of oblivion tapping his finger on the table to emphasize each of his points .

" Your ambition is dangerous . Nothing would happen if you aspired to become a new big family . This is not forbidden . What is forbidden, however, is to attack these large families . "

" Which is , exactly what you have done !!! You chose to replace Xiong by going to war with them . You could have developed and become something great , for that you rebelled and failed . Now act like a man and accept that you lost ."

Said Viper calmly , taking the last sip from his glass after which he put it down on the glass table between them . Then under Grey's cold and calculating gaze . Viper , resting his hands on the armrests of his chair stood up and had already started to walk away .

" Didn't Xiong kill your brother ? Don't you want revenge ? "

Asked Grey after a moment of silence with a confident smile , at that moment there was a light of hope in his eyes . Apparently he thought what he said was some good argument to change Viper's mind .I watching this only smiled knowing that the drama was beginning . After all Viper already looked angry and now Grey comes out with something like this ?

Grey's words already sounded like a clearly desperate attempt to draw attention . Or an attempt at provocation , the purpose of which was to continue the conversation through emotional manipulation . Which any normal person would see through and ignore . In particular someone known for his wisdom , like Viper . And indeed there was little response from Viper . Without turning around he only said one sentence .
