Chapter 63 - An Old Friend

After teleporting back to the hotel room, Narukami changed his clothes. He prepared a set of clothes in his shadow. It could even store a human, let alone a set of clothes!

Next, he opened the window of the hotel and took a good sniff as he searched for Aya's scent.

It was fortunate that the wind was steady and calm, a bit heading to the north which was where his hotel was.

Many scents found their way into his nostrils. A fragrance of flowers of a perfume, an oddly yet pleasant intoxicating smell of a gas, food, and many others.

His brain processed at an abnormal rate as he narrowed down the smell to the target he looking for.

After a few breaths, he located where Aya was.

He nodded as he closed the window. Shortly thereafter, his body was swallowed by a black bud and vanished on the spot, leaving a shadow figure.

The former then gradually looked like Narukami.

.

In the Kuroda residence, Aya just took a bath and wiped her long, black hair with a white towel.

Her white pale skin emanated a lustrous vibe.

Her skin was tender and smooth too. Her overall figure was that of a fairy descended to the world.

As she opened the door to her bedroom, she noticed a presence, standing with his back straightened.

It was a man wearing a white robe, the kind that scientists dressed. The man's facial expression was stiff and nervous.

His facial features were average, making him very ordinary that should he blend in with the crowd, no one wouldn't notice.

His pair of glasses made him like a smart doctor and his eyes were slightly curved at the edge.

One would think he was a slick, wily fox.

When they meet, his mouth curved upward, hiding an ulterior motive.

Seeing his smile, Aya quickly closed the door.

Bam!

She pinched her chin as her eyes creased in frown. She was pondering who the man she just saw was.

Inside the room, a man jumped in through the balcony and he asked, "where's she?"

Ignoring his question, the man in white robe said, "Shinra-kun, isn't it rude to enter her house without entering through the front door?"

Narukami nodded as his response, he then said "It's troublesome."

Why walk and spend a few seconds where you could jump and save those seconds?

Kuzu share the same thought and change the topic.

"That aside, why did I suddenly get teleported in her bedroom? While you at somewhere else? She discovered me and my heart almost leaped out of my mouth! She probably called the police already!" The man said in a hurry.

Before going here, Narukami went to fetch this doctor and there was a bit of a problem when they teleported here.

Causing Narukami to be separated from him. Thus he had to enter from the window.

For some baffling reason, he couldn't teleport directly into her room. 

He put this at the back on his mind to ponder later on.

He ignored his question as he came in his side, "we should hurry before the police come."

"Hearing what you said makes me feels like we're burglars."

"You are." Narukami replied nonchalantly.

"In the past! I realized my mistake and had a wonderful life!" He quickly replied.

"Being an underground doctor seems like a good path for a former thief," Narukami teased as he smiled.

"And do you know any other thieves who end up with a remarkable job as mine?" The doctor smirked with a proud face.

"Saving a person who kills and plunder seems like a good career," he said sarcastically.

The doctor scoffed, "what do you know? Money is everything in this world. The concept of being happy but poor is a lie for lazy people who wait for miracles, heh. The people I know who believed in such concepts are dying already."

Humans have their opinions about certain things and it was quite troublesome to change one's opinion. Especially about their ideology in life.

So Narukami didn't say anything, he respected every individual's ideology towards life. Without them, no human could live.

The door once again opened but this time, Aya had a knife on her hand and she wore a white dressing gown.

Her eyes were wary as she looked at the doctor. The knife let out a silver glint of light.

Averting their attention, the both of them looked at the door. The doctor startled when the knife pointed at him.

He upward his gaze and saw a beautiful young maiden stood by the door.

Her figure was alluring that the doctor was captivated and lost many words to utter.

All he could do was let out a long whistle.

"Shinra-kun, if I get stabbed by a beautiful fairy. I would die out of happiness."

"Calm down, Kuzu. I promise you that I'll not give you a satisfying death."

The doctor, Kuzu, wasn't satisfied with what he just said. Not because of the last words he utter.

"Shut up! I told you to call me Zura! Have you gone senile?!"

"Perhaps, would you kind enough to help me remember your name? I can't seem to recall it."

As they spoke, Aya examined them. 

At first she was wary when seeing a strange man in her room but as soon as her eyes fell on Narukami, it vanished without a trace.

And when she was about to say something, the doctor wanted to be stabbed to death and said it would be a blissful death. She shivered and felt complicated inside!

"Kurima Zura! Etch my name in your mind!" The doctor's voice intensified.

"Strange, I only remember Kuzu in my head. 

How about hear my advice? You should cleanse yourself. My ears only allowed the virtuest people to hear them."

[Author's Note: Kuzu literally means trash in Japanese."

"Senpai, you're being talkative today." Aya blurted out as she came to his side. Kuzu retracted his gaze to the fairy in front of him.

Talkative? This is how I usually talk though, Narukami replied inwardly.

"He's always like this but only to the people he is comfortable with. 

He's a person with a random persona, frequently changing so you have to get used to it sooner or later. Ah, sorry for my rudeness.

I am going to introduce myself once more, my name is Kurima Zura. I'm a doctor, Shinra-kun is my friend, as well as my saviour."

Aya frowned and she asked, "but Senpai just said he'll give you an unpleasant death?"

"It's a joke that only the two of us understand, right Narukami?" Kuzu looked at Narukami.

"Oh? You view it as a joke? Interesting." Narukami smiled and his smile only struck fear in Kuzu's heart.

He fell silent and didn't speak a word.

Although the person in front of me is a brat, he's still a powerhouse! Kuzu silently cursed in his heart.

With an awkward airness around them, Narukami swiped his gaze to Aya, "Aya, I get your heart back but just to be safe, I bring you a doctor to perform a surgery." Narukami stated his intention before Aya had the chance to ask.

"Shinra-kun, why don't you bring her to my place instead of dragging me all the way here? Most of all the tools are there too. What? You want to bring the whole place here?"

Narukami nodded as he said, "step back."

"Eh? Are you serious?" Kuzu blinked confusedly. He didn't expect such a development.
