58 Tell Me, I Accept (1/2)
Arima returned to Central City, in the end, but what happened after was as he expected.
The next day, ”I'm bored” Arima said while eating. His eyes were so unfocused, it seemed like he would fall on the table.
Of course, the three others were with him, sitting at the same table ”Well, it's true that there's nothing really interesting to do in this world for you when it's too calm” Lilis said casually.
”I think it's good to have some days of rest though” Lanya said and served some food to Night who was beside her.
When Night saw how naturally Lanya gave him food like she was feeding a pet, his eyes became blank and totally ignored what they were talking about and just ate the food he had in front of him.
”Then let's try to find something to do” Lilis clapped her hands and said.
Arima slowly turned to look at her ”If it was that easy, I wouldn't be like that” He said
”Why don't you train?” Lanya asked
”Because I don't want right now” He said and started eating some sweets ”You know, it's like writing a book, you can like doing it but you're f.u.c.king lazy and never do it, ultimately, you finish the book in more time that you should have needed” He said ”And, now, I'm basically lazy and bored at the same time. So I need something interesting enough to motivate me to move” He explained.
”What a simple way of thinking” Lilis commented and then mused for a few seconds, at one point she smirked and looked at Arima.
”What?” The latter asked.
”Why don't you just go visit the city with Lanya, it could spend your boredom” Lilis said and Lanya stiffened.
”A visit?” Arima frowned ”I already know every detail about this place, why would I need a visit?”
Lilis grunted ”The point here is not about the visit but the time you pa.s.s with a gentle and pretty girl, do you understand?” She said while pointing at Lanya, putting the latter in even more awkward situation.
Arima sighed and glanced at Lanya ”Sure, why not?” He just said and Lanya smiled while Lilis started laughing for some reason.
”Then, I will leave you alone” Lilis stood up ”I'll take this little guy with me too” She caught the still blank Night and embraced him.
”Eh? What?” He awoke up when he felt Lilis hugging him, then he looked around and then saw that he was slowly getting farther away from Arima and Lanya. That also meant that the one who was carrying him wasn't one of these. He looked hurriedly at who was carrying him and started panicking a bit ”Wait! Arima, help me! Don't let her take me!” He shouted ”s.h.i.+t! Why can't I release my form?” He cursed after trying to turn back into a dragon and failing, he instantly understood that Lilis had blocked his magic somehow.
Lilis took him away, and even when they were afar, Arima could still hear Night howling like a wolf. Arima and Lanya looked at each other and smiled ”Let's go then” The former said and walked out of the Inn with Lanya.
”Well, where to go?” Arima pondered and said while they were walking on the streets ”Is there somewhere you want to go?” He turned toward Lanya who was beside her and asked.
Lanya trembled a bit and then started thinking ”…Is there something funny in this city?” She asked
”Funny, huh?” Arima muttered ”Now that I think about it, there's something which seems to be very interesting” He smiled and said ”It's in this direction” Arima pointed to a street on the left and went there with Lanya.
Actually, the latter was surprised and looked at Arima ”What's wrong?” The latter asked when he felt her stare
”Nothing, but…” Lanya shook her head ”Usually you teleport to everyplace you want to go” She said
Arima smiled ”What? Do you prefer that I transfer us there directly?” He asked
Lanya shook her head and smiled sweetly ”No, I was just surprised” She responded and cheerfully walked along with him.
On their walk, they stopped at some shops, Lanya would stop to observe clothes and jewelries, but also sometimes she stopped to look at the weapons shop, although she knew that the rapier Arima had given her was most likely the best sword she could ever find. Even more when it was a soul weapon.
On the other side, Arima observed her and followed her calmly, without being impatient at all. He also, bought every kind of sweet that caught his attention and gave some to Lanya.
The latter seemed to enjoy this moment a lot, although she wasn't that much of a talker, she still expressed her joy easily.
When the two pa.s.sed by a precious-stone showcase, Arima suddenly thought of something. He took out a huge boulder from his storage and made it appear on the streets. The sudden appearance of the rock, surprised everyone around here.
Arima quickly called Karma and cut the boulder into a lot of different pieces which he then stored.
”That was the trinite, right?” Lanya inquired.
”Yeah” Arima nodded and made appear of piece of trinite in his hand ”[Verto]” He chanted and Karma started changing form, it became smaller and smaller, and in the end, became a dark red carving knife.
At the same time, Arima's sigil revolved and a black flame started burning the stone. It became a sort of soft substance. Arima used his knife to change its form, first, he changed it into a circle, then some former some big oval parts on certain point of the circle.
