Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Probing

While the bishoujo walked towards the city Reiki with his back facing Arashi who was still looking at him, the atmosphere between Arashi and him suddenly became quiet like a flip of a switch. The reason why Arashi decided to stay quiet was because she was able to sense a small change in Reiki she didn’t know why but her instincts screamed fear for a brief second but then her instincts went into a grinding halt and made her tense up and subconsciously put her guard up around him.

After a few more seconds of looking towards where the bishoujo went Reiki turned around to face Arashi and replied to continue their conversation. "Why do you say that? Not every beautiful girl has a dark secret to hide."

Arashi observed his expression but couldn't find anything off about him. So she decided to tactfully not ask anything, she reached her hand out to his head to scruffle up Reiki's already unkempt and scraggly hair while replying. "Correct. You should never judge someone based on their appearance alone. You never know they just might have the worst personalities that ultimately ruin their image." As she went halfway to her sentence she removed her hand from his head and nodded with satisfaction as if she was an older sibling giving out crucial advice to the younger sibling.

"Then wouldn't that also apply to you as well then Hageshi-san?." Reiki replied with a straight face and took two steps back.

"Eh?" Arashi had a surprised look written on her entire face. She obviously never expected him to say that right after offering advice and seeing Reiki's straight face after replying she started to panic especially when he took two steps back.

While stuttering Arashi said in a panic but her face still had a calm look on her. "C-Come on Lil Bro I'm different I-I-I'm offering you advice y-you can't just say that in front of somebody's face." As she replied, waiting for Reiki's reply.

He thought to himself. She probably thinks that I'm just joking with her. Is what Reiki thought to himself when he saw her expression. As he continued his train of thought. Fine... Since you want to probe me for information I hope you won't mind getting the short end of the stick. As he decided to put on a serious look and said. "Jokes aside kids... My age would be wary of anyone who approaches them and that goes especially to people who approach them with ulterior motives." He replied blandly while taking two more steps back and casted God's Eye. And Arashi's stats ended up being exposed to him.
