Chapter 108: Angry Reza
Rewen stared outside the window of the car with a bored expression. He had already been sitting tight on his seat for thest two hours and it was enough to test his patience.
Sitting beside him was a ck-haired cute girl who was fiddling with her phone. It was naturally Reza.
In the front seat sat a blue-haired man in his early twenties. Beside the young man was the driver.
''It was boring.'' Rewen couldn''t help but yawn. He had expected the ride to be more fun and talkative.
"Hase." With nothing else to do, he tried to initiate a conversation with the blue-haired young man in the front seat.
"Hm? Anything you want to talk about?" Hase turned back and smiled at him.
Rewen had to admit that Hase was a very patient and well-mannered man. He is the kind of friend you want to be best friends with.
"Uh, nothing too serious. I was thinking about <<Suction st>>."
"Oh! That reminds me. I didn''t properly demonstrate the skill to you when I promised I would."
"It''s fine. I was just curious."
The conversation was going smoothly but how could it continue to be smooth when the little brat beside Rewen scoffed. "Hmph! A fatass like you want to learn <<Suction st>>? Dream on!"
"Why does me being a fatass have to do anything with learning <<Suction st>>?"
"You are fat because you werezy when you grew up."
''Well, I can''t deny that. The previous Arai Atsushi was indeed a bit, no, veryzy and failed to take care of his own body.'' Rewen''s face had a bitter smile.
"I am now working out." This was all he could say.
"Lame." Reza spoke one word before turning her head away.
Hase looked at the banter with a wry smile. He knew that his cousin was very unreasonable. He could only hope that his "guest from Central" wouldn''t get too offended.
***
The car stopped to have a break near a restaurant.
"What do you want to have?" Hase asked while looking at the menu.
"Anything with less calories." Reza gave a straight answer.
"Anything with meat." Growing up in the vige, Rewen was used to having meat of all kinds. Some might think that since he had grown up eating meat, he should have gotten used to it. However, Rewen was built differently. ''It''s an acquired taste.'' He answers when someone asks for the reason.
"This is why you are this fat!" Of course, the gentledy didn''t forget to add her own personalment.
Rewen knew how she was and didn''t want to banter with her.
***
After the meal, Rewen was feeling sleepy and decided to take a nap.
"Don''t you dare sleep!"
"Huh? Why? What''s the matter?"
"If you sleep, your head will fall on my shoulder. I don''t want to give any of my first time to a person like you." Reza said with a grave tone.
"How pragmatic can you be?" To be honest, Rewen was getting annoyed by her annoying personality.
"I don''t know and I don''t care. Just don''t sleep."
Rewen didn''t care about her and took a nap.
Time passed by.
***
Rewen was quietly sleeping leaning by the window. He had already gotten used to the asional jumps of the car and sleeping peacefully.
"Wake up."
Rewen''s eyes slowly opened and saw a blue-haired young man standing on the other side.
"It''s already night?" Rubbing his eyes, he looked at the surroundings.
"Midnight. I booked three rooms."
"We have arrived at the Capital? How fast was the car? How can it be so quick?"
"It''s been twelve hours. The reason we arrived so quickly is because our city is close to the Capital."
Rewen got out of the car.
"Where is Reza?"
"She is in her room."
"I see. Can I ask what exactly this event is all about?" Even after reading the entire first volume, he didn''t know what the event was about. ''The volume ends after it was found out that Maki was the traitore to think of it, she should have been dead by today and the surviving group should be heading towards the nearest ind.
"I''ll tell you about it tomorrow." Hase smiled. "Both you and I are mentally tired."
"Okay, it''s better in that case."
***
It was a bright morning. The Capital was in the tropical zone and needless to say, it was way too hard for Rewen toe out of the room full of air conditioners.
"But there is no other option" Rewen brushed his teeth with dropped eyes.
Next, he took a shower and wore new clothes. "I have to say though, these clothes are of far better quality than those I wore back at home." Obviously, he was talking about "Arai Atsushi''s" home, not his own.
Brushing his hair all the way to the back, he felt like he had gotten a little better. "I guess pompadour suits my facial muscles."
After exiting his own room, he went to Hase''s room.
The door was open and he saw Hase packing up some stuff. "Everything''s ready?"
Hase turned to look. "Good morning. Yeah, we are all set to go."
"Where is Reza?"
"She is having her breakfast."
"Why is she trying to do things so differently?"
"She has always been like this. Nevermind her, let''s join her."
***
"Sost night, you said you would tell me about the event?" Rewen brought the topic up.
"Haha, you are very curious."
"I am."
"What is it, Cousin?" Reza''s ears perked up.
"He wants to know about the event."
"He doesn''t even know something this basic?"
"Don''t be rude. He isn''t from here. How is he supposed to know?"
"Even so isn''t this event quite popr internationally?"
"Let me start with Exquisite Immemorial Pce. Do you know what the Pce is about?" Hase thought it would be best to ignore his problematic cousin.
"I don''t." Rewen honestly answered.
"Hah! Of course, you don''t! A fatass like you doesn''t have the right to know anything." Reza sneered.
"F*ck off! You don''t have to seek attention from me cause I''ll never give you any." Rewen finally reached his limits. He isn''t always this tolerant. When he first arrived in this world, he learned that if he doesn''t want to get his a*s beaten, he has to be humble and tolerant. In the beginning, he was very tolerant. Even when someone spits on him, he doesn''tsh out unlike what he used to be when he was in his world.
The current him was a bit changed. He presumed that if his bullies (Koyami and the others) were to bully him right now, he would certainly do something. This is all because of the soul remnant of his predecessor. Not Arai Atsushi. But the Rewen Klofar of the Earth. His soul remnant had affected his own personality in some way he himself didn''t realize untilter.
Reza''s face was red.
Hase knew something would happen so he immediately turned to Rewen. "Let''s go and take a walk around the Capital."
"Sounds good." Rewen also didn''t want to escte the matter and walked off with Hase.
Reza, however, wanted to escte. Gritting her teeth, she swore all the curses she knows to Rewen in her mind.
