Chapter 24: Reason

Mayumi, Hailey, and Tomoyuki were shocked when Risa revealed that she would transfer away from Domino High School. They felt sad. Because that means they wouldn't see her anymore.

But then, Mayumi clenched her fist tightly and stared at Risa with a firm and determined expression.

" You can't do it Risa-chan! "

Risa averted her eyes at Mayumi's gaze. Her life at Domino High School was over. She would move back to Black Rose Academy for a new start.

" Why would you suddenly decide to leave without even informing us? Aren't we friends Risa-chan? "

Tokio watched on the sidelines as Mayumi said those words. Hailey and Tomoyuki we're agreeing with Mayumi's sentiment.

" You wouldn't understand... "

After a few moments of silence and deliberate ignorance, Risa finally decided to reply to Mayumi's questions.

" It's over for me. "

Risa then stared at her twin sisters who were clueless about her former clubmates and also wanted to know about her situation.

" No, it's not over! We know that you have done something Risa-chan. Something silly and bad.."

Risa gritted her teeth when she heard those words and Mayumi smiled. She doesn't know the meaning behind those smiles. But she felt more uncomfortable. So they know. Did Yugi and his friends tell them? Did they come here to reproach her and express their disdain?

".. But we still care about you! "

Risa stared at Mayumi's sincere and gentle expression. On the side, Tomoyuki and Hailey agreed.

" Mayumi-chan is right Desu wa! "

" Don't think that you can just go away from us Risa, didn't the president tell us that there was no leaving once you joined the club? "

Risa stared at Tokio who was calmly observing on the sidelines just like her sisters.

The reason why she left the Black Rose Academy...

While Risa was reminiscing about some of her memories, Mayumi's next words shocked her and her twin sisters.

" Even though we haven't known until recently. We still care about you and want you to stay with us Risa-chan even though you are a witch! Stay in Domino High School and remain with us, Please! "

" What... How?.. "

Risa stand stiffly as she stared at Mayumi. She felt like her body was enveloped in ice. Her gaze then drifted towards Hailey, Tomoyuki, and Tokio. They didn't appear to be surprised by what she said.

Before, Risa could guess how Tokio decided that it was time to interrupt.

" I told them that you are a witch. "

Risa stared at Tokio. This person in front of her was the reason why she was in the Domino High School in the first place.

Ever since that day, she couldn't forget the name of that person. Kageyama Risa has searched for him for a few years and eventually found him in Domino High School.

She even kept it a secret from her sisters. Never tell the reason from them.

Kageyama Risa thought that it was fate that she have made Tokio that day.

" You.. "

But instead of feeling more shocked and pessimistic, a smile appeared on Risa's face. It wasn't a nice smile that Risa always showed to them. But her real self. It was the witch that frightened the people, their unusualness and cruelty.

" As expected.. "

" Risa? "

Mayumi muttered confused while Tokio was surprised by the sudden drastic change in Risa. He was also confused by her words.

" Do you remember that day Horo Tokio-san? "

What is she talking about?

" Ever since that day, I can't forget you. "

Upon hearing such cliche words Tokio would only hear in romance novels, his face paled. There's no way! He couldn't even remember!

On the other hand, The trio club members by the information that was new to them. Rika and Rina meanwhile have their expressions turned ugly. They glared at Tokio that looks like they wanted to kill him.

" I keep thinking about you and I always keep the Blue Planet Maiden that you gave me that day. "

Upon hearing the Blue Planet Maiden, there was a snap on his mind that reminded him of his forgotten memories. It has resurfaced.

That day, he ended up whacked by Minori on his head. It was very painful.

" You.."

Tokio muttered while his sense of self-hatred keep growing further. How much mess did he unknowingly create in the past few years?!

First, there was the matter of Noah and Kaiba. Now, there is this matter about Risa-chan, what's next, messing with Darkness and the other villains?

But before Tokio can further fall into self-depreciation, it wasn't a romance cliche plotline that he had found himself. But something entirely different.

" Ever since I found you, I wasn't mistaken by what I felt upon meeting you that time! "

There was an excited expression on Risa's face as she stared at Tokio. The latter only felt creeped out by the various sides and expressions that Risa has revealed to them.

"  Ever since I met you that day Tokio, there is something unusual about you Tokio. You reeked of death and darkness which makes you stand out from normal people... Because of that, I swore that I would meet you again to discover your secret. "

Risa stared at him intensely while Tokio's mind was slowly going haywire.

'System what the fuckity fuck is she talking about?! Answer me damn it! '

[ Analyzing the situation... The system has already resolved this matter. ]

'What resolve?'

Before Tokio can ask the system further, he heard Risa with her monologue again.

" But upon meeting you, it seems that it was gone. It's a pity..."

Risa's expression was full of regret but she then smiled, her current attitude returning to the usual Kageyama Risa that they knows and shown to them.

" But I still wanted to know the person who gave me the Blue Planet Maiden that day. Since you have arrived at our home. It would be a waste if I didn't say thank you for that day. "

[ The host wasn't the original owner of the body so it was natural for people with high perception and special abilities to sense unusual with the host. But with the complete integration of the system and a few years of getting used to the body, the traces left by the host's transmigration have been eliminated. ]

Tokio felt relief from the system's assurance and Risa who have spoken calmly again. But then, Tokio remembered that this classmate of his was determined to transfer in a different school. He doesn't want to go looking for a new member.

But since Risa has a monologue about the reason why one of the things that Tokio knows has changed, he can't just let Risa transfer away.

" Well.. I can't remember what happened that day and I am quite flattered that I am the reason you decided to go to Domino High School. "

Upon hearing those words, Risa felt ashamed of herself and angry at Tokio's shameless attitude. But she also thought that she would miss them. After what happened, there's no way that she could...

" If you are afraid that we have discovered that you are a witch Risa, then it was a mistake for you to be afraid of us. "

Risa then stared at Mayumi, Hailey amd Tomoyuki. They didn't look afraid or disgusted at all.

" We think that you are awesome... But the thing that you did to Yugi and his friends isn't cool... But it's alright. We are humans, aren't we? It was okay to be imperfect and make silly mistakes. What is important is that we are willing to learn from our mistakes. "

While Risa and everyone were listening to Tokio, they suddenly felt a strange feeling.

[ Psychic Duelist Skill is activated ]

Tokio took out his deck and declared.

" But it wasn't just one of the reasons you are transferring away right? You are afraid about Kaiba. Truthfully, I am afraid of that guy too. But I can't just let you get away because you are too afraid Risa-chan. "

Risa and everyone exclaimed when their surroundings felt alive somehow. It wasn't just a mere illusion of her eyes.

" You.. "

She muttered to Tokio.

" There's not only witches, vampires, and tomb keepers in this world. People with certain abilities also exist. I challenge you to a duel Risa-chan! Same rules as the last time we played. If I lose, I wouldn't bother you again and I would reveal some secrets of mine! But if I win, you would stay with us in the club! "

Taking out her deck, Risa sighed. Truthfully, she doesn't want to go. Yet she was afraid... But facing this new side of the president and this ability that he revealed, Risa doesn't want to run away from this challenge.

She wouldn't let herself run away from a duel!
