Chapter 18: I don't care
Adria with a bored expression looked at this drama while Rose looked at Eli with who knows what expression.
"How can you be sure?" Adria finally spoke with some curiosity as both elbows were on the table and rested her chin on the hands.
While Rose took her SI phone which looked stylish and started to type something.
Mia turned and looked at Adria and bowed her head said,
"I apologize for my misconduct earlier, Ms. Adria"
"It's fine, I don't really mind. Now, tell me How can you be sure that he is your brother?" Adria waved her hand.
"Well If I have to say then, His eyes and hair; His voice; three triangle moles on the neck and...his smell" Mia said those last words in a mosquito voice with small red on her cheeks.
'Smell?' Three of them thought the same thing.
'I never thought she was this observant when she was little and...I really forget about my three-triangle moles on my neck' Eli thought as he warm filled his heart.
"If it's then.." Adria said as turned to look at Eli for answers but a voice came in front of her.
"Eli, age 21, Soulless, from the Dawn Kingdom, Token holder, Division-1's student, right?" Rose asked while putting her phone in the middle of the table and a 3-D hologram projected Eli's information from it.
'I've never seen this kind of thing, I think it's her phone had that technology...hm' Eli looked at the hologram.
"Yes" Eli said calmly.
"You see, her brother was also, the same age, same soulless, same Dawn Kingdom, same voice and same moles. Isn't this more than enough?" Rose squinted her eyes.
"Yes, absolutely right it is more than enough to prove I am her brother" Eli nodded.
"Big Brother" Mia was overjoyed but later thinking something she became sad, 'Then why did my brother do those things? Is it because I left him or is he hating me now?' and then she heard something that couldn't be possible.
"But...I am not her Brother" Eli said firmly.
"What you.."
"Let me finish it first" Eli interrupted Mia. Eli prepared a story for this kind of situation, so he started to tell it without letting them process it clearly.
"Well...Actually, I lost my memories 3-years ago"
"What?" Mia can't believe it.
Eli continued his story as he showed them his burn scar while lifting his hair,
"I was in a cave in the forest when I woke up first with lots of bruises and burn marks on my body. I somehow managed to treat my injuries and rested for a few days inside the cave.
During that days, I tried to remember but all I remembered was, a voice calling the name 'Eli', So I thought that would be my name.
After that, I fought against a few animals and monsters in order to live and lived a barbarian life and after some time someone helped me to attend this Nex Academia and so here I am" Eli finished the story as simple as possible.
Eli then looked at Mia, "I may be your brother 'Asher' but the person I am now, is not the person you knew" Eli said firmly.
"B-But If you try to rem.."
"I don't want to" Eli interrupted Mia.
"What?" Mia shocked.
"'Deep breathe'...I don't know how to say this or why I am feeling this but I felt if I remembered, I 'will' kill myself" Eli said indifferently as his eyes turned into a lifeless one.
"Ah..." Mia was beyond shocked, her whole body trembled.
"It's fine " Rose tightly embraced Mia's trembling body.
Rose looked at Eli's lifeless eyes, which showed no will to live, and thought, 'Today has to be the important day for her but..sigh' as she scanned his body.
"What do you want to do now?" Adria who was listening to him carefully asked an important question.
"Hmm?" Eli returned normal and looked at Adria with confusion.
"I mean, you are not Asher but Eli right? You lost your memories and don't want to regain them, you could have lived a normal life in the corner of some kingdom so why bother coming here?" Adria asked while tilting her head.
Eli pondered a little, this question...he did not expect from a third-person but truth be told he had answers because her sister was here, he hesitated.
Two of them looked at Eli while Mia stopped trembling and started rumbling "I have to do something..."
Eli glanced at Mia and said, "Do I need to answer that?"
"No, If you don't want" Adria just smiled.
"Hmmm?" Rose tried to say something.
"Yes?" Eli asked.
"Are you Married?" Rose frowned as she looked at the obsidian Ring.
Hearing those words, Mia finally looked at his left hand and her expression was fully darkened, the cute girl's looks now finally disappeared.
"Well, I don't...Yes, I am married" Eli wanted to say he doesn't know but after looking at the Ring and then at Mia; said what was necessary now.
Mia's eyes lost their shine.
"Who is it?" Adria asked curiously.
"'Deep breathe' She...is a wonderful woman, that's all I can say" Eli asked as looked at the three of them.
"Hmmm" Adria nodded, he clearly stating he was not interested to say anymore.
But Mia doesn't care, she asked as her voice wavered, "I-Is it, M-Marie?".
"Who?" Eli heard that name after a long time and he didn't feel anything.
"You don't know, Our vi..." Mia tried to say something but was interrupted by Eli,
"I am sorry, I'm not interested in knowing anything about Asher and I don't know anyone named this Marie person".
With a dejected look, Mia lowered her head and clenched her fist.
"You are an interesting fellow" Adria nodded and started to think something.
"Thank you?" Eli raised his left eyebrow.
"You know, you really not good with direction" Adria said trying to change this dramatic atmosphere.
"Hmm?" Eli thought, 'Where is that coming from?'.
"hahaha...It's just from where we met, It only takes 10 minutes from there to here but you basically took 45 minutes....hahaha" Adira laughed while she shot a glance at Mia.
After hearing that, Mia who was heartbroken and had colorless eyes, slowly returns to normal.
"What? You mean you knew the route?" Eli asked in disbelief.
"Sorry, Sorry. I didn't mean to make fun of you. I wanted to check something; you know, whether you really hitting on me or really lost...Haha" Adria still laughed.
Eli doesn't like being misunderstood and being after a girl with cheap tricks, he hated those kinds and said straightforwardly, "Tsk, If I really wanted you, No matter who are you? or what are you? you cannot escape from my grasp. Don't get full of yourself little girl"
'gasp'
Everyone was surprised especially Adria who never thought he would say that loudly. While Rose was shocked looking at the conversation and Mia basically started to hate Adria.
