We Will Meet Again - Chapter 386

“To think she came here with a temperature. How careless of her.” Victor trailed off when he saw how concerned Akito was. “Relax, I checked on her. She will be okay.”

‘Still it’s concerning. Why did she come here despite being in such a weak state?’ Victor never pinned the girl as the reckless type. In fact unlike all the other girls he has met, Setsura is the most mature and sensible one.

Coming here when she is clearly sick however isn’t sensible. Setsura didn’t have to come today, she could have— his thoughts broke off when he saw her stir awake.

“Yang…?”

Akito flinched before he mumbled. “It’s me.”

“Akito.” Setsura trailed off and nodded. “Right, I came back.”

“…”

Setsura sighed and extended her hand out. “I only called for Yang because I thought I was still in the future. If I knew I was back here then..”

“That’s enough. Don’t talk right now.” Akito cut her off.

“I have the freedom to speak. But I do understand your concern for me.”

His sweat fell when he heard their exchange. This girl and her sharp tongue, she doesnt hold back at all does she? If anybody heard her talk that way to Akito then they would try to grab her. Everybody knows that Akito has a bad temper, despite how friendly he usually is. When a person gets on his bad side, Akito can become a monster.

Victor isnt surprised when Akito suddenly pulled Setsura into a hug. “Dont talk anymore, let me hold you. I missed you.”

“Akito..”

“You smell so good.”

“Wait fool, Victor is–”

“Leaving.” Victor placed the tray down. “Im going to get some rest. Akito should be enough to take care of you.” With those words said he quickly left the room.

He slumped down on the hallway.

I didn’t get a chance to ask her. But maybe it is better his way.

………

It was difficult for him to sleep. So Victor decided to cook a meal instead.

Envy.

People describe it as a grudging admiration and desire to have something that is possessed by another.

Victor knew this feeling very well, even though he shouldn’t. After all, he had everything he could have ever wanted.

When he arrived at the kitchen area. Victor is surprised to see Natasha there with Setsura. But Natasha didn’t stay along.

Victor suddenly realized why. So that he could spend some time together alone with Setsura, that’s why Natasha left like that..

That she could occasionally do a good job like this, it seems like she’s not one to be trifled with.

“Hmm, so what’s going on? What are we doing? What should I be doing now?” Setsura wondered as she looked around.

Suddenly, he inhaled the sweet scent of the girls hair  Victor looked away startled. ‘This girl when did she get so close?”

“W…well then… I’ll handle boiling the eggs, so could you slice up the onions?” Victor managed to say.

“Roger. What am I making it for?”

“Sandwiches.”

Setsura raised her eyebrows. “Something so simple?”

“Akito doesn’t eat much.”

At that comment Setsura sighed. “I see.”

For a moment nobody said anything when Setsura suddenly said.

“Victor can I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

“I want to know more about your adventures in abroad. Akito never really mentioned anything about it.”

Of course he wouldn’t.

After all half the time another woman was clinging onto him.

“But more importantly I want to know about the feelings you guys had when performing on stage.

Victor blinked. ‘It seems like Akito told her about it.’

“When we were practicing on stage. To be honest, I was feeling very nervous. I was in doubt. Could we really put up a good performance ?” Victor shuts his eyes, that’s right.

He was plagued in to worry. Even though from the very first week they were in they received a huge amount of work he doubted himself.

“The artists there are completely different than here and yet their able to shine. Seeing that difference in level even I could no longer put on a straight face. So when we were given the dome opportunity, I wanted to decline. ”

“Victor..”

“But,” a soft smile appears on his face, ” When I stood behind Akito on stage. I realized it was just so insignificant.”

“Insignificant?”

“The huge stage suddenly seemed so insignificant. It made me want to perform on a bigger stage.”

Setsura smiles. “Isn’t that good? Having another dream. But, there is still something else you can do with your current dream.”

Victor blinked when he heard those words. What is she trying to get?

“You, really have great technique…” Victor couldn’t help but think. “I thought you couldn’t cook.”

Setsura sighed. “I couldn’t, but I had to study since Akito doesn’t eat much.”

‘Indeed…’ Victor could see why she would find the need to learn.

She chopped the onion quivkly with the kitchen knife.

It was a first for him, seeing anybody age who could work in the kitchen as well as this.

“I noticed this before but your strangely good at house hold chores.”

“Well, it’s been a while since I’d say that I couldn’t cook.” Setsura trailed off. “Back in my time, I had somebody I had to take care off. My sister.”

Victor blinked when he heard those words. “You had a sibling?” He paused when he realized something.

‘Had?’

“The reason why I returned to my time so suddenly was because I wanted to visit her grave.” Setsura explained.

So it was something like that. Victor thought that she disappeared because of Touma.

Victor was having problems with his vision. With Setsura standing right next to him. ‘This girl is far too close. Doesn’t she realize that?’ Or maybe it’s just him acting paranoid.

He fidgeted quite a bit as he chopped the lettuce. He doesn’t understand it very well, but this girl makes him feel very nervous. Victor sighed deeply. ‘Calm down, don’t behave this way.’
