Chapter 866 Glorious Suns.h.i.+ne Part 20

MIYA

She wonders how it feels to truly be in love.

Ever since she reunited with Sumire, she wonders if she was ever truly in love with Kurata Shouta. Who recently broke up with her. She knew it was coming eventually, but when she received a text message. She felt annoyed. At the very least, he could have met up with her in person. Doesn't she at least deserve that much?

Then again, she has been feeling nothing but pain for a long time now. So maybe it's better this way. She recalled something Nakara told her regarding Sumire's feelings towards Teras.h.i.+ma Yuhi.

'Her eyes were s.h.i.+ning bright just like the main characters in a shoujo manga. And she walked like she was floating on air. And I think their was flowers somewhere.. Though it's a gorgeous fairytale like scene, it's so unlike her that it scared me'

Her sweat dropped, now that she thinks it through. Nakara isn't the only one who noticed that.

Sumire really does love her boyfriend and yet she had noticed the growing fondness she has towards Mas.h.i.+ma Toh.

Mas.h.i.+ma is a interesting person, for one he seems to capture the gaze of anyone whom he meets. Indeed during their first or rather second meeting, Miya had felt an overwhelming sensation, an aura that draws a person towards them. Moreover, she has seen with her own eyes how Mas.h.i.+ma Toh treats Sumire.

A deep love, something like that may not even be possible for someone such as herself.

Miya exhaled deeply as she recalled the invitation that arrived on her doorstep earlier. 'I need to tell Sumire asap, before she finds out from others and misunderstand.' An invitation to a ball, hosted by Jian Hiriji. It surprised her when she learned that he was Sumire's cousin. But, when she asked Nakara about it. He told her that Jian betrayed Sumire.

A normal person would walk away and not get involved with this. But, she has to know the truth. Something doesn't add up here. After Nakara told her about the betrayal, she did some further investigation on her own. The attack on Tsukuhara high school was an incident everybody knew about. It was on the news for days. Coincidentally that attack happened when Sumire was already in Tokyo.

She wanted to learn more so she decided to head to the library. She has been raised as an involved human since birth, and she knew about the existence of hangouts. However, there is still so much she needs to learn.

Sumire's concert is tonight. She should keep an eye out on the time. Her thoughts break off spotting caramel coloured hair. Is that Jian Hiriji?

Miya started to follow him, only to be intercepted by guards. Her guards, the ones that her parents a.s.signed to her on the condition of her moving to Tokyo. She almost forgot about them.

"Miya-San. Let's go back, the king couldn't possibly be in a place like this. "

"You think so? According to Sumire, the members of the Black alice organisation are everywhere nowadays. I even received that creepy invitation earlier."

Honestly places like this give her the creeps. But right now she needs to do whatever she can to help. Besides there's no way that her eyes were playing tricks on her; she definitely saw him. Jian Hijiri. Seeing the ragged door Miya creaks it open with her two guards following behind her. A group of dangerous looking men were located inside. The man sitting in the center blowing his smoke pipe calls out to her.

"Oi, what business do you have in a place like this? Young lady."

"Sorry for my poor manners but did a tall man wearing a white cloak come here?"

At that comment the men gathered around her. The two at her side were being pulled away by two guys.

"Anyway, come on pretty lady, wanna have some fun with us?"

At those words, a man wearing a cloak stepped forward. Upon closer inspection she confirmed it to be Jian Hiriji.

Hijiri turned to her. "Don't worry, the people here in the back streets of town have scary faces, but they are good people. They just don't like strangers barging in on them. "

Miya ignored that little speech and turned to him with a questioning gaze. They are enemies so she should be more afraid and yet she can't bring herself to be scared of him. They are enemies, ever since she learned Jian was Sumire's enemy.

"Well? Why are you mingling here in the back streets? Lord 'Hii' "

Hijiri sweat dropped. "Um if possible could you not call me Lord while we're here."

"Alright then, Hi. I'll just ask my questions." Miya turned to the guys only for Hiriji to grab her shoulders.

"Please just head back home."

"I'll return home if what you're doing here is something s.e.xual and inappropriate."

"T-that-" Hiriji trailed off, his cheeks flushed and bright red. Huh, he's surprisingly innocent; this part of him actually resembles Sumire. The more encounters she has with this guy, the more she does not see him as a bad person.

"Then, maybe I should just tell everyone-"

"Miss Miya! Wait miss Miya."

She turns to him with a fixed gaze causing Hijiri to exhale deeply as he places his hand on his forehead. "For goodness sake, you really are just so hard to deal with."

She responds with a light smile. "It seems you're willing to bargain."

"I didn't expect your majesty to have acquaintances like that." Miya said, walking by his side. She had told the other two to head back to the inn without her. Since the ginger hair guard looked as though she was at her limit already.

"Those people have taught me many different things since I was little."

"What kind of things?" Miya wondered.

Hiriji chuckled. "Things a girl like you shouldn't know."

She should stick to general topics; even if she isn't frightened of him now, that can still change. But, he could have easily pushed her away earlier and yet he allowed her to stay. Why is that?

"Hey, the rumour just now. That was about Sumire wasn't it? I'm pretty sure you know this already, but Sumire is a very precious friend of mine. Do you ever intend on pursuing her? You actually don't plan on murdering her do you?"

She should stop at this and yet now that she's gone this far she wants to know. Whenever Sumire is mentioned there is an actual expression from him that's not fake; she's sure that this person truly cares for Sumire.

"Maybe you even want her to live ------ " Miya's sentence falls short when he appears in front of her and places his hand on her mouth.

"I will applaud you for your bravery and heroism. However I must advise you that it is unwise to mention that persons name in these parks."

Rather than be afraid she's more curious now. He's saying that to protect her isn't he?
