Path Of Blood - 61 Chapter 53

It was early Morning and Jaune has been pacing Left and Right on his room.

He thought to himself that he couldn’t go on like this…

He needed a master’s advise. So he sent a message on his scroll to Haruki.

“Need Help, about asking someone out.” that was the content of his message. Haruki woke up and wondered why this idiot woke up early for this. He brushed Cinders hair to the side and he stood up to freshen up.

He did this silently as everyone was still asleep. He immediately went out of the room only to find Jaune pacing back and forth.

“Well? What’s the matter?”

“Finally! I have been here for an hour, I really need help! come quick.”

Jaune dragged Haruki into the courtyard, “This better be worth skipping out on training for Jaune…”

“Uh….yes?” He said as he stepped back a little.

Haruki narrowed his eyes, and sighed. “Fine… hit me…”

Jaune nodded, “So here’s the situation…I approached Coco normally, did everything you said… but I was ignored…

She just looked at me from top to bottom and just nodded. Then she went away like nothing happened.

I have been waiting to get your advice ever since you got back from that temple, but one thing led to another then… Poof… I couldn’t wait any longer and asked her out…

Then I got rejected…” He slumped his shoulders down, and he looked at Haruki with pleading eyes.

“On the bright side, she hasn’t really rejected you… She just ignored you.”

Jaune tried to punch Haruki, but he just dodges. “Bright side?! What part of she just nodded and walked away don’t you get?”

“Frankly that could be interpreted in many different ways you know, She might’ve agreed and just waited for you to go and tell her that details.”

Jaune gave Haruki a blank stare, “You really think so? No that’s not it!! you jackass!!

C’mon man… you know the inner workings of girls, help a brother out.”

Haruki raised his eyebrows, “What? no I don’t… most of the time I just wing it.”

Jaune sighed, “That’s exactly it! I need you to talk to the girls, I shall observe from a distance.”

“Wait… you want me to pickup girls? are you crazy!? do you want me to die?”

Jaune shook his head, “Well not exactly picking them up, I just wanted to see how the conversation goes. Just like you told me always observe your opponent.”

“In combat!! what you’re doing is just stalking!”

Haruki finally noticed the person sleeping on the bench, It was Ren. Poor guy he probably got dragged by Jaune earlier but he wasn’t of any help.

He went Near Ren and shook him, to wake him up.

“Uhh, Ren? you okay?” Ren rubbed his eyes, He stood up and went back to their room.

“Sigh* Jaune… what came over you that you want to ask Coco out?”

Jaune sighed… “I came to beacon so I could train to become a great Hunter, So that I could make my family proud and do our family justice.”

He looked at Haruki seriously, “And also enjoy my youth…”

Pfft* “Hahahahahahaha!!!”

Jaune charged towards Haruki, “You’re the main culprit you bastard!! Always flirting around like it’s nobody’s business!”

He stomped on the ground, “I wanna go on dates too damnit!! I want to understand girls too!!”

Haruki was holding his stomach from laughter, “Honestly the more time I spend on picking up girls the less I understand… Enough to question what I thought girls were.”

He said as he tried to kick Haruki. Ren returned to the meeting place seemingly refreshed.

“So what are we talking about again?”

Jaune clicked his tongue as he pointed at Ren, “This guy is also an example, He’s enjoying his youth a bit too much…”

Ren tilted his head, “I’m not enjoying my youth. FYI”

Jaune grinded his forehead against Ren’s. “Huuuhh!? Nora’s all over you all the time!”

Ren shrugged his shoulders, “All I’m doing is going to the same school as her…”

Jaune sighed, “Just what are girls? I really don’t understand…”

Haruki then asked Jaune, “Are you sure? relationships come with a lot of troubles you know?”

Jaune looked at Ren and screamed, “Mom! Bring the salt here!!”

Ren nodded, “Sprinkle it! Dump it all over!”

They chased Haruki around.

Ren and Jaune asked Haruki, “Back to the topic at hand… Is it really that troublesome!?”

Jaune went silent, “No… The real truth is that Haruki simply doesn’t know…

How to enjoy his time with a cute girl…”

Haruki’s expression darkened, “How dare you…What would a virgin like you know…”

Jaune looked up at the sky with his hair covering his eyes. “Yes, I wouldn’t know…

But you lost something along with your virginity…

The sensation of having everything you see, everything you hear…

…Be a source of erotic pleasure…”

Jaune stared directly into Haruki’s eyes.

“And to have that feeling spread to every cell in your body!!”

Haruki was taken aback, “Every cell!?”

Jaune tapped the side of his head, “Yeah… Just think about it.

Okay, So being in a relationship can be taxing…

However-

You obviously can’t say the same when you have a super-sadistic Onee-san glaring at you as you fumble around awkwardly…”

Haruki responded, “Shit!! That’s a given!!”

“And suppose you had a cute girl who’s extremely shy, but she tries her best to communicate, and even though you’re socially inept she still treats you nice!!”

Both Haruki and Ren knelt down feeling defeated, “We’d die of cuteness!!”

Jaune then continued, “The feeling of having your hands brush past each other for the first time! the feeling of embarrassment! the innocence of youth!!”

Haruki slowly stood up, “I get what you’re saying jaune… what’s important is the sentiment behind the actions…”

Jaune held up his hands, “Let me finish, Even so… even all the troubles that come along with it… Just having a girl I like, and those things happen to me…

… would be enough…

And if anything…

Cute Girlfriends themselves are worth dreaming about.”

He said as the sun gleamed over him.

Haruki and Ren thought, ‘I don’t really get it, but he looks so cool’

“Well as great as that sounds, it’s still virgin nonsense.”

“Shut up stupid!!” Jaune retorted back.

Haruki scoffed, “Heh, I’ll tell you this! you’ll be saying the same thing when you lose your virginity!”

Jaune angrily snapped back, “I won’t! I won’t even be able to contain my happiness!!”

He ran into the side angrily, not noticing CoCo approaching as she jogged. She was wearing a white tank top and black jogging pants. Even exercising she still wore her shades.

*Crash!*

He slowly opened his eyes, All he saw was white. He felt something soft press onto his face.

“Sorry! Are you okay?” Coco immediately stood up and helped Jaune off the ground.

“Are you sure you didn’t hit your head? I’m sorry I have to go.” She looked at both Haruki and Ren. “Take care of him for me!”

She jogged away, while all three of them stared at her departing back.

“Ju-Just now…”

“It looks like it”

The two of them stared at jaune who was still on the ground.

“Ho-How was it?” Haruki asked.

Jaune raised his arms high in the sky, as the sun’s rays shined on him, “Thank you… So very much.”

They all raised their hands in triumph.

The most important thing is Having a heart that takes pleasure in all things.
