Botan pov: Nenechi gently placed Aloe-chan onto her bed and began to wipe the blood off of her face as the girl continued her deep sleep.
"We should explain what happened," I say.
Omarun looked at me and said, "And get in trouble?"
"It's not about getting in trouble! We can each take the blame so Aloe-chan doesn't get all of it, even though she is the one who started this out of her hatred and want for revenge. We can at least help her the most we can." I say
"Nenechi, are you alright?" Lamy-chan asks
"Yeah..." Nenechi said her voice was deeper than usual; it was almost like she was resenting this moment.
"You don't seem alright!" Omarun mentions
"I want to destroy Rushia-senpai until there is nothing left of her. I will tear her limb for limb." She said
We all fell silent as the cute and bubbly girl angrily declared what she wanted to do to our senpai.
"Look, it isn't that serious!" Omarun says
"It isn't that serious!? Look at Aloe-chan; her body is riddled with cracks and bloodied all over. She is in a comatose state because of that stupid woman!" Nenechi screams
"Aloe-chan is the one that engaged her in the first place; she did this to her own body; you can't blame Rushia-senpai for that part!" Omarun yelled
Nenechi slapped Omarun across the face, tears streaming down her face. "Wh—why does that justify her suffering, Omarun!? Aloe-chan just wanted friends and to know exactly who she is; she wanted to be happy, but some green-haired woman wouldn't let her be happy; it isn't fair!" She shouts
"Are you talking about Rushia-senpai or Delu?" Omarun asks
"Gah—Shut up!" Nenechi hisses
"Sorry..." Aloe-chan says the girl sat up, but we could tell her body was a husk; actually, there was no personality—a mix of both personalities inside her. Her gaze was lifeless, empty, and completely soulless.
"Aloe-chan!?" Lamy-chan questions
"Sorry, we don't know who that is." Aloe-chan claimed, "We are nobody."
"Tsk...." Nenechi scoffs. She stands up and walks towards the door. "I need fresh air." The blonde woman stormed out of the room, and the rest of us sat there, not equipped to handle this situation. Even when Kiara jumped off the roof, she wasn't bitter like this.
"Should we go after her?" Lamy-chan asks
"Hold it. Let's go talk to Azki-chan about this." I say
"Understood..." Lamy-chan sighs
"I'll watch over Aloe-chan." Omarun says
I let Lamy-chan piggyback me, and we went to see our senpai. As soon as we landed in front of Azki-chan's room, the two of us were pulled inside by shadows.
We both looked around the room, instantly noticing how fancy it looked. There was only one bed. Sora-senpai was right beside Azki-senpai reading a book "its so early..." Azki-chan mumbles
She pecked Sora-senpai on the cheek before standing up and coming towards us both. "Spare the details we already know."
"Are we in trouble?" I ask
"We'll overlook it..." Azki-chan sighed
"Azkichi, I'm a little chilly!" Sora-senpai suddenly got the girls attention, who seemed worried about her.
"Don't overdue yourself; we can cuddle for like an hour or two and then get up for the day. I just have to deal with this right now!" Azki-chan told her
Lamy-chan and I looked at one another and asked, "Should we leave?" We ask in unison.
"No!" Azki-chan said while blushing, "Don't mind what I say to my fiancé, okay, that really isn't important!" She claims
"Oh, okay," we both said, and after a few seconds, we actually processed her words. "Wait fiancé!?" We question
"Oops, well, you now know that we are getting married, but not until we turn twenty-one."
Sora-senpai tilts her head. "We are still discussing when we will get married; we may do so as soon as we get out of school. We are really in love!"
"We can tell..." Lamy-chan claimed
"Can you tell me how you met?" I ask
"That is a whole tale for another day, but it kind of was love at first sight!" Sora-senpai said
"Maybe for you! I was kind of bitter back then, and you were also too oblivious to realize you loved me." Azki-chan said
"It doesn't matter; all that matters is that we got together in the end. Isn't it the same as those two?" Sora-senpai asks
"Wait—how did you know we were dating?" Lamy-chan asks
"It's obvious..." Sora-senpai claimed
"Anyway, let me and my darling have alone time. Now you will be pardoned. I promise, just make sure that everyone is safe and clean up the battlefield." Azki-chan was clearly annoyed by how perceptive Sora-senpai was suddenly.
The two of us left their room, and when we got far enough, Lamy-chan sighed, "What?" I asked my beautiful snow elf, who shook her head.
"Nenechi is going down a dark path." Lamy-chan claimed
"It'll be fine!" I told her.
Nenechi grabbed the two of us and pulled us to the side. "It won't be fine!" She yelled at us.
"Look, Nenechi, we can't do anything about this now; we just have to hope Aloe-chan can fully recover on her own. You know that." I tell her.
"Shishiron, you don't know that!"
"Nene, listen, you have to just believe that she can recover on her own; you have to trust her!" I shout
"Lamy, you don't understand that Aloe-chan was willing to throw her life away for her revenge, so I'm going to make sure that the one she wants dead will be gone!"
"Did she just say Lamy?" I ask
"She did..." Lamy-chan replied
Nenechi exhaled and squinted her eyes. "Just so you know, I'm going to get revenge with or without you, so you better decide what you are going to do."
Nenechi ran off, leaving us there. We know she can't actually get this revenge, but she isn't going to listen to us. The only one she will listen to is Aloe-chan, and she is...
We have to get Aloe-chan back.
