Chapter 30 Extra: Bai Lan's Story

  The Geso family is a small mafia organization. And I'm the only heir to this family. I like smiling at people, it's easier to get what I want that way, because I've heard the maids in our house say behind my back that I look really cute. So when I smile at them, no matter what I ask for, they're happy to help me. That's why smiles are so useful.

  Well, Jesso was just a small family after all. I watched as our home turned into an inferno, only I managed to escape by sneaking out and wandering around.

  It's hard to say whether I feel sad or not, but I just think that my future will probably be more difficult.

  Unfortunately, I was discovered. And it's clear that they had my information on hand, so they recognized me. What bad luck. I took off running, and the result was obvious - I got caught.

  I thought I was going to end this short life of mine, but unexpectedly, I didn't. It seems the goddess of luck hasn't completely abandoned me yet.

  Oh dear, what a great opportunity.

  I blended into the crowd and slipped away, taking advantage of their relaxed vigilance. Then, relying on my sweet smile and cute appearance, I successfully let a seemingly wealthy couple take me in without questioning my unclear origins.

  I went on vacation in Japan with them.

  The result was another moment of complacency, followed by a tragic outcome. Those people, in order to avoid any future problems, actually went after Balion. Clearly, Balion is Penggrie's exclusive assassination squad, so why did they specifically come to catch me, the unremarkable heir of this small family? It's really...

  So I was forced to start my fugitive life again, and I wasn't in a hurry myself. I don't want to die, but living doesn't have any special meaning either. I'm probably getting a bit numb, who knows.

  They're about to catch up. This silver-haired loudmouth is really a troublesome guy.

  Pouting, thinking that he would probably have to end it here, but unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared.

  He just looks like an ordinary person. I didn't expect him to save me. Not to mention whether he is willing or not, it's still a question whether he can do it or not.

  When I heard the silver-haired man speak, the young man who was holding himself back obviously hesitated. He probably wanted to hand himself over? I'm not surprised, nor do I have any resentful feelings. If I were this person, I wouldn't confront a clearly dangerous character for someone I don't even know.

  But unexpectedly, he didn't know why he was stunned for a moment, then made up his mind and smiled to let me hide aside.

  I was startled for a moment, but still hid behind a bush on one side as he said.

  It's really making my way of fighting interesting.

  The silver-haired man left, and the strange regret on the young man's face made me a bit speechless, but also somewhat amused.

  He rubbed my hair, and I didn't brush him off as I usually did when others tried to do the same, but instead... endured it.

  Well, just consider it as returning a favor to him, I shrugged and didn't bother with this issue.

  I told him he had nowhere to go, and without thinking, he pulled my hand and wanted to take me home. I didn't refuse, why should I? There's nothing wrong with that.

  His hands were still warm, and I found this temperature very comfortable. Looking up at him, his appearance couldn't be described as particularly delicate or unforgettable, but it made people feel very comfortable. This was probably what they called "affinity" that I had heard of before.

  I don't know.

  The sun, which is about to set, no longer emits overly dazzling light, not bright, but only gives everything a shallow layer of golden yellow. The color matches this person's chestnut-colored hair and light brown eyes unexpectedly well.

  My mind is a jumble of thoughts, but my heart feels hazy. What is this feeling of carefree and worry-free daydreaming? We've only just met, after all.

  I don't know.

  Ah, after meeting this person, my brain doesn't work well anymore, it's really annoying. I should be the kind of genius who knows everything.

  His name is Tadokoro Ritsu, and I call him by his first name, not caring that we've just met for the first time, he's older than me, and has just helped me out. But somehow, I'm certain he won't mind any of this. Maybe I'm just being weird. For some reason, I feel like if I called him Tadokoro, it wouldn't really be calling him, you know? It sounds stupid, but that's what I think.

  But he didn't mind anyway. I'm really smart after all.

  He looks like a man of few words, but unexpectedly his home is full of people and each one is more boisterous than the last. Before long, I feel like I'm going to start growing white hair prematurely.

  Even someone like me who is good at using a smile also feels that there's really a bit of an "I don't know whether to laugh or cry" feeling.

  However... apart from those few kids, it seems that there are a few people whose gaze towards him doesn't seem quite right. No, not just their gaze, but also their tone.

  So it was like this after all.

  Although I myself find it inexplicable, I am certain that I want this person. Then, let's just see how things go. Ignoring the hostile and defensive gazes of several people, I quietly left Ruo's house.

  I will become strong, so strong that no one can stop me from getting what I want.

  I'm back in Italy. To be honest, for me, it's really a simple matter to take advantage of people's minds and strategies. I'm doing great, but I'm still pushing myself to speed up. Because I've been preparing for too long, I don't want to wait any longer.

  I used a rocket cannon to send Ritsu to my timeline ten years later. It's really strange, no matter which timeline it is, the entanglement between Ritsu and those people always follows the same script, no matter how hard I try to destroy it, they still develop feelings for each other. I smiled as I watched the arrival of Ritsu from ten years ago, taking him to see the room I had set up a long time ago.

  Seeing him in such high spirits, I felt a sense of satisfaction that I had never felt before. In my heart, I couldn't help but laugh at myself - despite having obtained so many parallel worlds, none of them had brought me as much joy as this moment.

  I don't restrict his actions, I won't do things that make him uncomfortable, as long as he's happy. Originally, I did these things for him too.

  I only let him in to make sure Zeta Koga gave up completely. After all, he's my last and most troublesome enemy, whether from the mafia or emotional aspect. I have to admit, he's also made a lot of sacrifices. However, this doesn't mean I'll do something that goes against myself because of it.

  If I had known the outcome would be like this, I wouldn't have let him in no matter what.

  But I know there's no pill in the world for regret.

  When I heard Ryota say a few words and saw him soften up to follow Tadashi, my heart sank. However, I won't let him leave because of that. Absolutely not possible.

  But unless he dies, those words were just a joke. How could I possibly want him dead?

  That patch of bright red seemed to have stained my retina, the world I saw was a piercing red, full of blood. I'm not afraid of blood, I've killed people since I was very young. But why do I feel suffocated?

  He's dead. His lifeless body makes me afraid to look at him.

  Okada Keisuke left with him, and I didn't stop them.

  Because those clear eyes that I liked will never open again. Everything I did has lost its original meaning.

  I still have a smiling face, but it's probably not as good as not smiling at all - that's what the stinky girl from Black Magic said.

  I started wandering aimlessly through time and space, but I never thought that I would run into him again.

  His appearance has changed completely, but his personality hasn't changed a bit. I don't care if he's reincarnated or whatever.

  But since I've seen you, well, don't think about running!

  Covering my face, I feel like I've written something wrong... And for some reason, I feel very cheerful, anyway it doesn't seem to be abusive... Looking up at the sky, I probably wrote three days of extras and got a bit numb 【Collapsing...

  Tomorrow I'll finally start on the next world! 【So excited... Ah, the side story is really draining my energy. I must find back my humorous tone!

  Recently I also saw that Hakkenden is going to have a second season, and Kuroko no Basket will also have a second season right? So recently there are many anime to watch...

  A bit long-winded, isn't it a sign of aging? 【Hey! Cough cough, and then he flashed away...
