《Crimson Moon》Ch 7 childhood friends and high school entrance ceremony
Advertisement
Manami POV
I put Layla to sleep and laid her on her bed as I left the room. I did suggest to her that she'd wake up get dressed and attend the ceremony. My feet led me to the gym, it was almost time for the opening ceremony at 8:00 am since the girls had also had to go eat breakfast. I'm sure even without me bugging Layla she'd still remember to eat. My eyes went to my brother Ren who stood by the door before the gym with a nervous laugh.
"Brother are you sure Emi Fang and Kasumi Hibiki won't find out," I asked.
"They won't talk I think," Ren panicked.
"Sure why don't you just choose one of them already Emi is from a technologically family that works in engineering. While Kasumi is from a family that owns the assassin organization betraying her means your screwed over. I'd say best choice is.....," I stated.
Wait how'd I know about Kasumi's family business. Because she's freaking standing next to us like behind brother. And I see a full description on her details of her family. Freaking crazy Luna not helping me there. Brother is age 18 she's 15. I'm 14 at the moment don't even ask me these two and Emi used to play together.
Kasumi Hibiki gender Female Age 15
The Hibiki family runs the assassins around the world. Kasumi has grown up in a world of killing. She is used to the human underworld of this world. Living her life as a assassin since the age of 6 has taught her the harshness of humans' hearts Andy the ugly truth. Her harsh training has led her to distrust most people except her childhood friends. Almost dying in these trainings and surviving on instincts in the Amazon forest she has better instincts than most humans.
(P.S. Be glad I added this function for unlocking your skills. Since it'd be easier to just identify other races with the summary. Thank me for the greatness and the ingenious thoughts of mine. ~ Luna (=_=)
I did not say more I just stared at her and coughed for a bit. Seems the goddess of the moon Luna forgot to warn me about it even showing up. Rather I want to step back but brother had to notice my eyes went to Kasumi who was behind him. Brother slowly turned around and felt a chill as I tried to walk away. I shouldn't have even read the information out loud or mentioned the fiancé part out loud. Yikes I didn't even notice her even though my sense of smell was better than the average person.

"So what's this I heard about a fiancé and Mana we are going have nice and long talk after this about how you found out."
I flinched as she turned to brother who was sweating a lot. Do note that we're in front of the gymnasium front door with her facing both of us now. But her serious face was staring at brother. If I were to describe her it's dark brown haired and blue eyes. Let's just say she's releasing a lot of killing intent at brother. He's on the ground kneeling. Her hands were on the mini knives in her black boots I don't even know you can fit them there without hurting yourself.
"Grandfather's will said that he has to attend this school and look for a fiancé before the end of his high school year to inherit the company. Also the condition is that he doesn't get exposed," I explained hurriedly.
Kasumi retracts her knives and gave him a pitying look. "Oh is that why he's here. Also is that why he hasn't come into contact with either me or Emi."
I nodded to her words. Brother don't look at me with those eyes you should've told them in the first place. Wait if Emi finds out during the ceremony because your doing the speech. Won't she just make a big deal out of it.
"Of course she will," Kasumi truthfully stated.
I like big sister Kasumi the most when she's calm like this. But I find it eerie now that I found out her secret. No stop staring at me like that. It's 6 am in the morning I don't wish to get dragged away like this brother help me.
Kasumi dragged me to the track field and stared at me for a while.
"So tell me how you found out about my family business even though your family members don't even know about it and they're the 2nd biggest company. Out with it who's spy are you and what have you done to the real Manami."
"Take that knife away from my throat....," I said.
Too late she noticed my neck healing itself and I'm surprised as well.

"Who are you," Kasumi shouted.
Ack I had to explain my whole situation including Luna who I met during the night. Look even I'm not stupid since I know for a fact that you'll meet her at the school at night only. Seems like someone or something bounded the goddess to the school grounds. After hearing this Kasumi face palmed.
"So your saying we're involved with different worlds here as the center point. And that you've been turned into a vampire due to a accident a few months back," Kasumi stated confused.
"Yep. Though I don't think she's humoring me. Also I'm sure I shouldn't go reading people's information out loud like that again."
"Do that and you might not get killed. But our school is 95% other worlders. That's a lot to take in."
"I'm pretty sure the girl I saw at the stairs with unnatural hair color is from a different world too," I said lightly.
"This will take me a while to sort through but I'll live with it. By the way do you still have the old fashioned phone," she asked.
"I don't like the holographic screen that plays out in front of you. And the floating screen annoys me, I know Luna also did that to annoy me by making the info turn into screens."
(Luna: no duh, get used to it cause your school uses it a lot! Narrator: live with it since it's around in your actual life)
"I rather touch something tangible so no thanks," I said.
"Unfortunately the school uses the Iris Interface Network more than anything else. So your phone won't do you any good. Also you might want a different laptop for that."
Yep diving on the net for information in class that is the Iris system network. Yeah I know brother told me but I still wanted to hope for it to not be like that. I rather liked the tablet and the touch screen phone I have. We headed over to the gym as we heard the crowd of other girls also heading over. The gymnasium is behind the dorm. So I sat down next to Kasumi. I almost fell asleep (pretended to since it was boring)and Kasumi nudged me when the principal went up.
"Students of this school it doesn't matter what you are, where your from, what matters the most is where you head to. Living here will prepare you for society, learning here will be fun, you'll learn about your friends and come to understand the meanings of bonds. Live in the moment for which you can stand on your own feet. Don't let others distract you from who you are......."
Your asking why you don't see the rest of her speech I toned out and noticed that I'm being stared at by Emi. I sighed since she wants explaination from me and brother who lectured. But I looked at the principal's information.
Rei Kazuki gender Female Race Demon She formed this school because she was tired of working under the demon lord. She wanted to live a peaceful quiet life in another world. So she decided to make a school to teach students so that their world won't end up like hers. Her world is made from endlessly wasteland from the in fighting and wars from humans, demihumans and demons. Rei is tired of her harsh life in such a barren land. She hopes the new life here can learn to be better than her world.
So her world was laid to waste from wars and centuries of it. But what's her age. Rather nevermind Luna would probably scold me for even asking.
