Akatsuki Reminisces 3I enter Bunny’s with Nadeshiko in tow.It’s currently 7:39 in the evening. Perfect for dinner.And a lot of students are sitting here and there in groups. They seem to be studying and some are seen eating.I take a seat and Nadeshiko sits as well.“What’ll you take?” I ask her.“Anything is fine.”“That won’t do. You have to properly order.”“Then I will go with a steak.”“I see. I’ll take a full course then.” I order and wait for the food.But sitting without doing anything was boring.“After today you are going back to that place, right?”“I…….have to. I need money. And that work pays the most and quickly.”“But it’s not without risks. And it might lead to other troubles as well. Tell me, why are you doing that?”“My father……..eloped with a girl. It had happened a few years back. Since then, I and my mother were living alone but peacefully. But she fell ill. And I need money to treat her. Our bank money was all gone and my father ran away most of our money. I

Unusually.“Akatsuki-san wake up.” Someone calls.“Mmm…..five more minutes…” I say.“No. Wake up.” And my sheets were grabbed.I open my eyes and try to look.It’s Nadeshiko.

The Childhood Friend POV 2I am caught by Ririka. Nadeshiko-san is also caught.Both Rihito and Akatsuki are thrown out of the room.Isn’t he your husband? And also, why did you throw them out?I wanted to ask that but before I could say anything Ririka was on the phone.And after a call, she said that she called Mizuki here.She arrived and saw all of us together.Maybe she was shocked.She smiled at me and Ririka but her smile stiffened after seeing Nadeshiko-san.“So let’s start. It’s a girls gathering.” Ririka said.“But why now? It’s still noon.” (Mo)“I have to go to Akatsuki-san.” (N)“No. I have sent Rihito to take care of him. Don’t worry.

Akatsuki Reminisces 6I am currently at my home.It is night. When I was in the hospital, I was thinking.About the deal.I lied. I wasn’t born with this intelligence.I didn’t survive the fall with luck.I made a deal.I don’t remember it that well but, it was made.When I was pushed off and I rolled down, I was on the brink of death.But then he appeared. The devil. I was not ready to die.So he asked me if I wanted to live or not?I wanted to live. I didn’t want to be stupid.So I made a deal. I sold my soul to the devil.But he wouldn’t do something until I die.It was that. But when I was in the hospital, it suddenly hit me.My life is fulfilled.I have done everything and achieved everything.I have nothing left to do.And I thought,“Why not do this?”I smiled. It was a nasty smile.Even I am creeped out by that.I thought, why not make another deal.The first deal was to protect my life and become intelligent.And I have nothing more to offer.But I certainly can make a deal.

But I have no money and I am hungry.I am sitting by an apartment. I a
