The Impossible Fate That Leads To A God Of A New World

Chapter 1.10

“Ah…”

Satisfying.

“…how about you stop standing there, making that disgusting look and sit down already?”

…A cold muttering.

Her chilling voice made my spine shivered.

Ugh. She was really displeased. Her eyes are glaring at me as if to say ‘You are annoying, why are you even alive?’ She's probably the only person who could glare at me with perfectly unwavering, shudderingly cold eyes.

Really. Do you need to go that far? And you`d even told me to sit next to you, too. With that glare, anyone who sat just next to you would`ve felt pressurized.

So… Maybe until I could get used to it.

“Yeah… no thanks.”

“…do I need to repeat myself…?”

A soulless, cold, and scary glare topped with a chillingly cold voice.

I couldn't help but flinch.

A reflex, if you will.

It seems I don't have any other choice.

“...Don't even think about it.”

“Erk…!”

I intended to move my chair further away from her. She completely saw through it and shut me down before I could do so.

With nothing left, I completely obeyed her and sat on my seat.

Uncomfortably.

Just when I realized it, she's been messing with her screen while keeping me in check. It seems she was messing with the system even before she told me to sit.

“Whoa?!”

My floating chair suddenly moves— no, our chairs are moving. It seems Kuroyuki is moving us to the window… Huh?

From the floor plan earlier, aren't we like, inside a box? The window is installed right next to the door to Kuroyuki`s room. If there's a window, aren`t I`m supposed to see Kuroyuki`s room instead of the outside scenery…?

“…this is a monitor connected to all of the views of the windows within this building.” Kuroyuki said. “I`m merely connecting it to the window in my room.”

That said, she activated another screen. Shifting the views from each window that was displayed on the monitor.

“…I`m giving you the administrative system of this mansion now.” She murmured.

‘Kuroyuki Shiroha is sending multiple files to you. Accept?’

“A-Ah…”

Accept.

It completed after a few seconds.

…She even gave me the details about the mansion`s control system.

‘…That was sudden.’ I thought.

Seeing that I'm being unresponsive due to the sudden change of atmosphere, Kuroyuki took me back to reality by shooting me with her deadly glare.

“…what is it that you want to ask?”

An angel-like voice, followed by a cold smile.

…the fact that even that kind of combination could look good on Kuroyuki was a mystery.

“Erm… I think I will understand how this building works after I play around with the administrative system.” I replied as I gave her a sceptical look.

Kuroyuki said nothing. Not even demanding any thanks or whatsoever.

She tilted her head slightly to her right with her unchanging, cold smile— implying that I should spit out what's inside of my mind before she got annoyed.

“……” She noticed.

This girl… is crazily scary, sharp, and forceful.

Before I'm going to say what's on my mind, I took a deep breath.

“Why did you choose me?” I said, “Even though you`d agreed I`m not good enough for you…”

Directly, straight to the point.

“…I didn't choose. You are the one who chose to stay.”

“What…?”

I was dumbfounded.

I`m the one who chose to stay…?

Kuroyuki then appeared to be slightly miffed. For some reason, her gaze directed away from me, and she had a distant look in her eyes. Thanks to that, I found myself realizing that the gentle curve of the outline of her chin to her neck was beautiful.

“…You are the only one who stayed from my glare…”

A glare that could kill ten peoples— but that was only the surface of it. It's as if she killed several thousand before. But despite that, there's still something deep within— something else… as if she's the one who's asking me to stay here instead.

“…and the second strongest…” She whispered.

It's extremely quiet. It was so quiet that it wasn't meant to be heard. But I hear it. A remark that can't be ignored.

“If I`m the second strongest you`ve met so far, why didn't you choose the strongest?”

Though she appeared to have flinched for a slight moment— but Kuroyuki did not say anything. She merely responded with a self-deprecating smile as she looked away from the monitor.

Afterwards, she took a small breath.

A small breath that sounds extremely tired, painful and chillingly cold— as it echoed throughout the silent classroom.

…Even an idiot would know how to respond towards that.

It's too late to pretend I did not hear anything. All I can do is to apologize.

“……sorry—”

“No, it's my fault for not being considerate…”

Yet, Kuroyuki apologized to me before I could do so. She looked at me with an unwavering look.

“…it's alright.”

“………………”

This is the first time she'd shown me her actual smile.

As she smiled, I learned whether or not she had dimples or a double tooth peeking out.

In other words, she was really cute.

…Such a foul play.

“…I'm quite astonished.” She suddenly murmurs.

“Astonished?”

It'd probably be about me. Well, it was just a guess. I couldn't tell what she's thinking at all.

“……………”

Somehow, she leaned forward and stared at me with a serious gaze— as if she's trying to take a closer look, as if she's trying to see through me.

Her gaze reminds me of Persia.

“………Erm…?”

She'd been staring at me for five whole seconds already. It made me all tensed up.

There seems to be many things on her mind, but it seems she`s sorting her questions by order.

Here comes…

“…are you a stalker?”

“What!? That's what you were thinking!?”

Her first question totally blew off my mind. I was expecting something way more than that. Is this a joke?

“…answer honestly. Your life and death depends on it.” She uttered.

She's totally serious!

So… Persia`s joke can't even be considered as a joke at all.

“I'm not.” I protested. “Why would I even stalk you for…?”

“…because I'm too beautiful.”

“…………”

Kuroyuki said it naturally without being particularly embarrassed nor prideful. Rather, she wore her usual, unchanging cold expression.

“…you already knew why I set up a force field.” She added.

Kuroyuki then puffed her cheeks a little and looked away. She looks somewhat irritated as if she recalled some unpleasant memories.

“Well yeah… that may be so…”

There's no room for me to disagree at all. Her beauty is truly something… troubling.

“…You have no idea how hard it is for me. 96% of the boys and 73% of the girls in this academy confessed to me.”

“How extreme! That's nearly three quarters of the academy?!” I inadvertently blurted out.

I didn't expect her to record this.

…Now I see her reason. With this sort of number, it's definitely necessary to take her guard up against perverts and stalkers.

You could say she's probably the type to say ‘being beautiful is a sin’.

It is.

I can't even look at her in the eye for more than 10 seconds. Any much more than that my mind would start to turn blank and something within me would start to run wild.

“……So, you are here to stalk me, aren't you?”

Such ear-piercing words.

“No way! He! Didn't we just finish that already!?”

“…Then, the next one. I can tell you are itching to confess, prepare yourself.”

Kuroyuki leaned back on her chair and glared at me with intent to kill.

The classroom`s atmosphere— I mean it, turned cold. My lungs hurt every time I breathe.

This is bad. I need to stop her before I`d actually die for real.

“Just calm down! Why are you assuming that I`ve got a thing for you!?”

“…You are here to amend what you`ve failed. There's no better reason for you to make an excuse for getting lost all the way up there.”

She nonchalantly cocked her head in puzzlement and made a confused face.

…So she would have acted cute whenever she wanted. I`ll admit— you got a ten out of ten there.

So all of those she said we're just to guide our conversation to clear her doubts. Her doubts on my appearance at the ‘Pink Drop’ tree.

She`d guide it so naturally too. This girl is cunning as usual.

But there's no way for me to clear her doubts. I`m sure the answer I said was definitely not the answer she wanted to hear.

Guess I will just answer honestly.

“Believe me, I don`t know it either.” I said with an awkward smile.

“…Okay. I believe you.”

“What!? You really do!?”

I was completely caught off guard. I didn't expect her to believe me…!

“…But…” Kuroyuki hesitated for a moment. “...nearly every male organism that approached me confessed… Unless— you are…”

She had a disgusted look on her face. A belittling look, as if she's staring at a germ. She'd word it as ‘male organism’ too.

If I don`t refute her claim, then there`s no point in living as a man anymore. Accepting myself to be gay is something I`d choose to die instead.

“I`m not gay! Why do you even have such a conclusion!?”

“…Even a married scum is willing to throw away his family.”

Kuroyuki`s eyes flashed as if it`s shooting daggers at me, with a scowl deadly enough to make a sound. Only a girl cursed by beauty was capable of such an expression so alarmingly powerful that it would unwillingly draw you in and completely overwhelm you.

…that is to say, it was seriously scary.

Though it may sound romantic for a moment— but I couldn't agree more to her ‘scum’ remark. Throwing away your family just like that… is nothing but the works of scum. If you don`t love your wife, then don`t marry her right from the start!

Such stupidity. She must`ve felt terrified when she heard about this. It's my fault for reminding her of such a tragedy— I better apologize.

“Kuroyuki, I—”

PAK!

She snaps her fingers.

“—WHOA HEY!!?”

In that very instant, an ice spear suddenly came flying to me— aiming my neck. Luckily my reflexes are fast enough to catch it in time— with my right hand, just a few centimetres away from my neck.

“(Huff… Huff…) WHY DID YOU DO THAT FOR!!?” I glared at her.

Because it was so abruptly sudden, I yelled to her out of a burst of anger— without sparing a single thought on who she was. And before I'd realize it— her spear was snapped into two by my grip.

However, our Kuroyuki Shiroha did not feel the least bit afraid, and instead she reacted by returning a dead-serious glare as she voiced out her thoughts.

“…You are going to CONFESS, aren't you?”

Dang. She`s being dead serious on something stupid.

…Now I don't really give a damn.

“I was going to apologize for reminding you of something unpleasant! I know you are sensitive to things like these, shouldn`t you at least let me finish my sentence before you are going to attack!?”

When I came to realize it, I was standing. Naturally, I was looking down to her.

…And Kuroyuki was completely surprised.

Perhaps this is the first time someone at her same age scolded her.

Honestly, a part of me was thinking— I'm dead for good. And another part of me was thinking to finish my sentence before I`m going to die.

…Both parts are saying that my chance of survival was zero. So I would die either way…

“Sigh… I`m your partner. Can`t you give me the slightest bit of trust?”

I hung my head low and placed my hand on my temple as I sat back on my chair naturally.

“…I`m sorry...”

Kuroyuki`s expression became despondent after she reflected on her actions.

Thank goodness. I survived.

“You really are different...” She murmured, with a bitter smile.

“Nah… I forgive you. It's not your fault to begin with.”

“…you have no idea how hard it is for me to deal with them…”

She's extremely annoyed by it. To mean it, she deliberately huffs out a small sigh to enhance her irritation.

I inadvertently remembered her words from earlier.

96% of the boys… And yet—

“Not a single one caught your eye…? Aren't there at least someone out there you are interested in?”

“…Ngh…” Kuroyuki pouted, “I'm giving you a chance…” then she furrowed her brows and glared at me.

Is this a warning…? It seems like it.

To be honest, her grumble was so cute that I doubted it for a moment. All my attention was focused on the ‘ngh…’ part that hit on me so unexpectedly.

“No, no, no. I'm not going to hit on you.” I quickly denied. “It was just pure curiosity.”

“…Have you ever heard? Curiosity kills the cat.”

She`s warning me not to pry any deeper… But if I turned her words on the other way…

“You could actually rest assured of that. I`m not a cat.”

“…………”

Not good. Her eyes narrowed. She's thinking I'm taking her as a fool.

“Look here, it's not that I have friends to talk to.”

Admitting I don't have any friends doesn't hurt one bit. But when she's on the verge of actually laughing, it actually succeeded to do some damage to me.

“I-It's not like you have friends either!” I remarked.

I`m quite certain she had a situation similar to me.

Alone. Lonely.

However, as Kuroyuki shifted her gaze back at me and stared at me with a tender gaze yet a sombre smile— I understood something.

That person— her friend, saved her.

Like how a certain someone saved me.

“…True. I don't have friends here.” She said. “…Even you of all the other people here… could only stare into my eyes for ten seconds at most.”

Urk.

She realized…!

“May… maybe I will get used to it someday.”

I laughed awkwardly.

“…perhaps.” She murmured softly— with a smile.

A sombre smile that froze on her face.

I might've said something wrong… it seems she remembered something unpleasant.

Though anyone would`ve pretended nothing had happened to her… but I had a feeling inside me— I just can't leave her alone no matter what.

If that's the case… let's start with something obvious. She could`ve already known but… I guess I will go with it.

“Ah, right. I forgot to introduce myself… my name is…”
