Love Returned From The Ashes

Awful Diver

Bijou pov: "We are going to fucking crash!" Nerissa screamed

"I can see that-I am already stressed due to the throbbing pain in my body, and I don't need this."

Nerissa smacked me on the arm to get me to stop talking back to her. I became more attentive to the road... well, there was no "watch out!" Shiori yelled

"Shit-"

I quickly twisted the steering wheel, turning the truck so I wouldn't slam into the flock of birds. The cargo we were hauling almost hit them, but I barely missed saying, "Fuck-!" Nerissa yelled

She grabbed Mococo and Fuwawa and flew out of the truck as Shiori and I crashed into the ground, the three girls entering it after saying, "You are reckless..." Nerissa scoffed

"Ugh-I agree..." Shiori mumbled The multicolored-haired girl kicked her door open and began to vomit out the door. "Fuck me~" She gagged

"That could be arranged!" Nerissa said suddenly:

"How come the airbag didn't deploy?" I asked

"Because the fall broke the mechanism," Mococo said.

"You think you know so much about trucks?" I sighed.

"No, we just saw a lot of the truck break, and the tires are all flat," Fuwawa said.

Well, then let me renovate the truck," I said.

"How?" Fuwawa and Mococo asked

I switched the tires with rocks and began to drive again. The road was now extra rough and bumpy.

"This is awful," Shiori said.

"You don't have the right to tell me something is awful, Shiroi," I claimed.

"I-I can..." She gurgled

"Says the girl who can't stop puking," Fuwawa pointed out.

"I am the leader considered the most dangerous one." Shiori said

"Actually, it is me," Nerissa said.

I am irritated having to listen to constant arguing-although in reality this is the third time we have ever interacted, so we are bound to argue.

"We really are going to get captured because you aren't a good driver." Shiori gagged

"Trust me, we won't be captured," I said.

"We don't know about that!" Shiori said

"Actually, I do; Mumei-senpai clearly let me go for a reason; she is planning something with us," Nerissa said.

"Damn, you could not have told us about that!" She said

"Well, we are a team, are we not?" Nerissa asked

"Sure," Shiori said.

Nerissa smacked her over the head and looked at Mococo and Fuwawa. "Let's go."

"You're leaving!?" Shiori shouted

"Yeah, because you don't want to work together," Nerissa said.

"No! We need you here, Rissa!" I yelled

"Apparently not," Nerissa said.

"Why do those two get to go with you?" Shiori yelled

"Leave us out of this." Fuwawa sighed

"Yeah, or we'll kick your butt!" Mococo said

"Fine, we will cooperate with you; just tell us what the hell you want." Shiroi said

"Revenge on the gods..." Nerissa scoffed

"No, I respect the gods," I said.

Then I'll see you in prison." Nerissa mentioned

Shiori and I are in an awful position. We need Nerissa's protection from Mumei-senpai, but we don't want to be bossed around.

We need to get as far away from here as possible and make sure we can make a decent escape without our senpai finding us, but that is the issue-how do we do that at all?

We barely have a vehicle; it's not my fault the truck is so damaged.

"Just drive and stop shifting the blame in your thoughts." Nerissa said

Wait-how did she know? I must have said it out loud, and she is bluffing.

"Shut up," Nerissa said.

Shiorin, did you hear me?" I asked

"No why?" Shiori asked

I don't understand what is up with Nerissa; this makes zero sense at all.

"I figured out how to read minds using soundwaves," Nerissa said.

Wait, that makes no sense," I said.

"Shut up," Nerissa said.

I don't know why she is so angry at me; it's like she is so full of rage all of a sudden. It's not like she is that bad off; she has someone who let her escape, the little sister of our senpai, and she has the gall to want to get revenge on the gods for our imprisonment.

"The gods have done nothing wrong," I told her.

"You shouldn't have said that," Fuwawa stated.

She was clearly mad. Nerissa was oozing malice from her body, emitting a sense of danger.

I feel awful for whatever I said, and only for this reason do I have to spend time with her.

This group already seems dysfunctional, and I don't know if we will be able to prosper without getting locked up for good. All of a sudden, I crashed into a telephone pole.

"You were supposed to drive!" Shiori yelled

"I did!" I yelled back.

"That is a fair point; she isn't lying," Nerissa said.

Her agreeing with me really has thrown me off. I thought that she would be against me the whole time, but I don't know. Maybe we will get along after all.

"You're cute," Nerissa said.

The fact that she can read minds is really dangerous. This isn't good-isn't it also a breach of privacy?

Nerissa nodded, but she glared at me, making me focus on the road.

All I want is to have fun and not have things get in my way.

"Then why not have revenge on the gods?" Nerissa asked

I don't know, the gods still have done nothing wrong; we kind of deserve it.

"You sound like a chump," Nerissa said.

"What was she thinking?" Mococo asked

"That we kind of deserved imprisonment," Nerissa said.

"None of us did..." Fuwawa stated

"Shiori will defend me!" I yelled

Shiori, however, was passed out from the crash; clearly, she can't handle our power.

"Let's just go somewhere and rest." Fuwawa said

"That is needed." Nerissa sighed

She is right. Specifically, Shiori and I need to regain our strength, so let us all go get some rest at some place, wherever that is.
