" Huh, why the sudden curiosity ? .
Nothing, it just seem that you know a lot about finding the right person, so I thought that you would have found yours by now, or was this a past life knowledge and that's all .
Even though that what she said, but my instincts were telling me that she was after something else, she had a strange expression on her face, strange yet familiar, how weird, I still answered her inquiry, saying truthfully :
" Well, how to put this in words, I believe that I will answer positive to both of those conclusions of yours, it's indeed related to some of the knowledge I had in my past life and I also did indeed find my partner, or should I say partners .
In the middle of the moment, I accidentally let that last thought of mine slip out of my tongue, which resulted in her looking at me strangely and seemed to be even more curious than before, she said :
Could you please explain it more thoroughly, if it wasn't a bother, of course .
" Actually it's a bother to let you in on all of it, but as long as you don't judge me for it, I could be still able to tell you bits of it, even though, I doubt that this will satisfy your curiosity .
Being bluntly called out for being nosy, her face reddened in embarrassment, but she still adjusted her set and looked at me with the same weird expression still and eyes that were filled with curiosity .
Seeing that she did this and nodded her head, I was beginning to believe that I will need to filter as much as I could from what I was about to say, after all, there were a bunch of things that can't be discussed out loud .
" Well, my situation is a bit complicated, I was fortunate enough to meet the lovers, I had in my past life and yes they were more than one, maybe three, but I had only met two of them, but I got a gut feeling that, I might be able to meet her soon .
Just as I finished saying this, I saw that she was covering her mouth with her hands again and acting as if she was shocked, I didn't blame her, I would have probably felt the same way, if I were in her shoes, but sense I know the inside story of how this happened, I now didn't feel that it was such shocking information, but she wasn't me .
So Ryuu-san, you are telling me that not only you were dating, but you were dating two girls at once, don't tell me, you hadn't told them about one another .
She said this while crying out loud, I hurriedly shush her and told her to calm down a little, but it seem to no avail, she misinterpreted my actions as me trying to cover things up and continued to say in a loud voice :
This isn't good, Ryuu-san, you need to tell them about each other and let them decide for themselves, whether will they agree to that, oh right, are they both students in the school, I can help you if I can .
" You misunderstood my reaction, Kushina-san, I was trying to make you lower your voice a bit, due to the probability of you creating a problem for me like that, I had enough rumors circling around already .
Right, now that you mentioned the rumors, I wonder if one of your so-called girlfriends happen to be Tokiko Kanzaki, if that true then the other one was none other than Momochi Haruka, am I right ? .
She seemed to be gloating over her being able to tell that much already, but much to her disappoinment, I shook my head and for a few seconds, I saw her leaning closer to me while giving me a discerning look, trying to figure out whether I was really telling the truth or not .
I once again began to regret even bringing this subject up, I could have said no or maybe even still said yes, but kept tight lips about being dating more than one girl, which ended up in creating this sort of confusion, it was better for me to clear things up here as to not create more confusion, just as I was about to try and clear the confusion up .
You hesitated a little when you were shaking your head just now, so either you are lying or my guess was correct, but not completely, you can't trick me, in my past life, I was similar to a kunoichi in my past life, my job was to collect intelligence, so I have quite the discerning mind, spill the beans already and I will try helping you in ending things peacefully .
It was a bit of a surprise to hear her saying this kind of thing, I couldn't help but wonder, if what was preventing her from being able to go on a date was Karma, she said that she would help me ending it peacefully and I understood that if I really didn't try and talk her out of doing this, she might end up creating more headaches for me, I said :
" Hold your horses a little, Kushina-san, I had said that they were my lovers in my past life, but just to clarify the confusion you might have here, they were both married to me and it might seemed to be a bit fictional, but making a promise to one of them was what led me to marry the other, after falling in love with her of course .
She was stunned at first and I saw that her expression seemed to be holding back something else other than shock, but like with weird expression from before, I just wasn't able to tell what it was, after she heard me saying this, she fell into deep thought and began to contemplate on something, then she said :
But had they met each other in that past life of yours, can you say for certain, that once one of them find out about the other, conflict might not arise, could you be even to love them both equally, or will it unjust for them to continue like that, can you be certain that jealousy won't get between the two of them .
I fell silent because she was asking all the questions that I didn't dare to voice them when I was with each one of them, afraid that it might be forcing a gap to appear between us, but I did indeed have these thoughts and questions coursing through my mind too frequently .
I didn't find an answer to them, not even something close to an answer, all I had was a few hopes, that everything will turn just fine, the reason for why my hopes were up, it was because the two girls feelings for me themselves, both Tokiko and Regina love me as much as I love them and a bit more even, both wanted to make me happy, just as I wanted to make them feel the same too .
We all in a situation that even though was quite complicated, we all still hoping for one thing and that was to make each other happy, that's why I even though burdened with quite the pessimistic thoughts and all kinds of weird questions, I still have a strong belief in this relationship and its ability to prevail over any misshapes that might try and befell it, I have confidence in this relationship survival .
If I were to be asked to choose between letting go of one of the two girls or risk losing the two, I'm not certain of what will my definitive decision going to be, but most likely I will choose to let go of the two, I will surely destroy the world directly after though .
Hey are you listening, what with the evil grin on your face, you were thinking of something bad, right .
" No, I was just finding the answers to all those questions of yours and couldn't help but get detached as I fell into a deep thought about it .
Then did you come to find answers ? .
" Actually, indeed I did, my answer is that I currently don't have a clue about how to answer and respond to all of your concerns .
" Before you get mad or think that I might be playing with you or something, I will have to clear one big confusion first, Kushina-san, you see, those guys are already aware of the existence of the other one, not only that but they both have accepted that they had a piece in my heart while I have a piece in theirs, they didn't have a problem after I told them what the other was feeling towards me .
" They both loved me in the same way, their own way, as for when jealousy might crept on us and a conflict arise between the two of them, then I will think of a way to solve it then, but I don't believe that is going to happen, after all all the three of us want to be able to live happily ever after while embracing the person we love .
" So yes, I'm dating two girls and I was the one who told them about the existence of the other, so do you see any more problems in our relationship .
I couldn't help but sound a bit guarded and my voice got a lot sharper as I asked her that question, she was completely at loss of what she could say, but she seemed to have sensed the tone that I was speaking to her with and looked quite aggravated and lowered her head down a little, seeing her like that, I apologized if my sounded rough, but I also told her that this subject was a sensitive one that I don't like talking about .
She nodded her head then told me that she was too sorry for intruding on such a sensitive topic, she forced a smile to appear on her face and said :
It's no wonder that you have quite experience in that depart, you had to deal
with many things in your past life .
" You aren't wrong, but I had lived for quite a long period of time in the past, so that too helped me in solving whatever that came my way, shouldn't we wrap this up, it would be bad for you to be seen alongside a student this late at night, especially not with the rumors that were surrounding me .
Oh, so you are concerned like this for my sake and reputation and here I thought that you might be afraid of a word of what might be misunderstood here went directly to the ears of your girlfriends .
" Well, that too could be quite dangerous as well, but it would be easy to explain it to them, after all.... .
Yes, yes, you love each other dearly, I had already came to accept that, so there was no need for you to keep repeating it over and over, but you indeed right, it seemed that I will be spending the night drinking in the hostel .
" Alcohol is never a solution, y'know, in fact some time it's another source of the problem .
What, are you this concerned about my health ? .
I looked at her straight in the eyes and said truthfully :
" Let me rephrase my answer a little, why do you believe that I'm not, Kushina-san ? .
At my words, the woman in front of me was at loss of words, she kept opening and closing her mouth, without uttering a single word .
I snapped my fingers at her, trying to wake her up from her trance, after she had been staring at me in silent for over 2 minutes now, I was beginning to wonder, if my words had made her uncomfortable or something like that, but it seemed that my worries were for nothing, she suddenly said :
Before we leave, I had something I want you to ask those girlfriends of yours, ask them what they would feel if a girl liked you or you who liked someone and be sure to tell me the answer, okay ? .
Even though her words were quite strange and vague, at least her purpose was, I still nodded my head indicating that I will still ask, I thought what might their reaction be, Tokiko seemed to be fine with Sophia, even though she tend to go berserk every time she sees her get to close, but I believed that she would say something like, as long as they truly have feelings for you and you also liking them, I had no problem .
At least that was I believe she would say, but I will still need to ask before making sure, her answer might define how will I go around treating Sophia and her relentless pursuit of that date, shit, now that I was reminded of this, I felt my skin suddenly crawled, I had already promised to go on a date with her before, I get myself in some really messy waters here .
Stop spacing out here and then, I will be heading back first, goodnight and thanks for your help, it was good to have someone to talk to, thank you .
" Don't worry about it, your fated one will appear sooner than later, you will just need to continue doing your best, don't forget to upload a new picture as I told you, it might not have been the reason, but it's still necessary to not create confusions .
She had already taken a few steps away and I was forced to yell for her to hear me, but luckily the distance between us allowed her to hear what I was trying to say, she shook her head and said :
I will be taking your advice to hear and stop dating for a while, I will continue to do my best, but if I wasn't able to secure a date, you better ready yourself to take responsibility for me, give my best regards to your two girlfriends, Tokiko-san and Haruka-san .
" Huh !! .
That was weird, I thought that she just said something similar to taking responsibility, were my ears buzzing or something why I was hearing things, yes, that must have been me hearing things,after all how could it possible for her to say something like that and what kind of responsibility, she was even taking about .
I got up and began heading towards the Hostel myself, while thinking about the next mission, Kushina-san weired expression and Regina opinion on another girl getting in the mix, she seemed quite wary against Sophia, but whether that was her honest opinion or not, it really didn't matter that much, I don't believe that girl had fallen for me out of me beating her before .
Wait, what names did Kushina-san mentioned just now. Tokiko and Haruka, Oh No .
