188 Food Wars/ CH 181: BLUE - Emotional Outburst

After she left in anger from speaking her mother. she marched in frustration as she recalled all the times she wished her mother was with her, the jealousy she felt when she looked at Alice and her mother and everyone else who had a mother.

At that time, she was still young, she felt broken-hearted, but a part of her looked at her father and thought 'everything will be okay, papa is here with me.' The poor Erina didn't foresee what was coming towards her as her father started his training, brainwashing, and manipulation of her emotions.

'Why...Why is it always me?!' Erina stopped in her track in her room with tears coming down her face, her chest felt like a rock was placed on top of it 'This God's Tongue...' Erina touched her tongue with trembling hands 'Everything is because of it...' for the first time in her laugh, Erina wanted to rip her tongue out.

"EVERYTHING!!!" She shouted as she kicked the box of cooking tools away near her leg. Erina started breathing heavily.

"Oh my! oh my, i have seen something!" Erina snapped out of her emotional outburst. She looked in front of her and she saw Alice on her bed sitting with her legs crossed and a magazine in her hands with a smile.

"Alice?..." Erina mumbled "What are you doing in my room?" she asked with a frown.

Seeing this, Alice chuckled and throw the magazine away, it's ages-old anyway. Can't expect something new in a historic monument. "What happened? is something upsetting our cute princess?" Alice spoke.

"I am not in the mood to play with you, leave." Erina opened the door for Alice.

Alice tilted her head "Speak...what is on your mind?"

"I said leave," Erina repeated herself with a low voice.

"No," Alice responded.

"LEAVE!!!" Erina shouted.

"No." With the same smile, Alice responded. Erina clenched her hands.

"Why you never listen, is it fun to play on my nerves? do you fin dit entertaining? I have always hated this about you!! Can't you just take care of your own business?! Why do you have to stick your nose in everything I do?!!" Erina spoke with anger "get out of my life already!!!!"

Alice didn't seem to be bothered and just tapped on the empty space on the bed beside her "Here, come here and sit with me, then we can talk." She said.

Erina looked at her with disbelieve, eyes wide and jaw open like a fish, she took a deep breath and sighed "Fine. You won't leave then I will leave." Erina turned and left the room.

She started walking away, aimlessly. She just wanted to be alone, but then she started hearing footsteps behind her. She stopped to look, and Alice was behind her with her usual smile.

"Leave me alone!" Erina said.

"No," Alice responded.

Erina clenched her fist "You...!" Then out of nowhere, she started running away with her full speed. She shuffled through the halls of the vast castle trying to lose Alice.

But when she looks behind her, she is still there behind her.

"Hey, Erina, this reminds me of that Romantic movie we watched two years ago, the boy was chasing the girl just like this!" Alice said out loud while laughing.

Erina had a vine pop on her forehead "It was a horror movie you idiot!!" She shouted.

"Is that so, I saw it cute!"

"The girl was killed in the end, what is cute about it!" Erina shouted again while running.

"Eh?! But he loved her!" Alice had a surprised expression.

"Just shut up!!" Erina shouted with tears in her eyes "I hate you!!"

"Oh! I love you two!" Alice shouted.

This continued on for about 15 minutes until Erina was dead exhausted. She stopped in the gardens behind the castle, under a Sakura tree. She was out of breath, her face was red and her body was trembling as she fell down and leaned on the tree to rest.

"Tired already?" Alice came to her and asked, "I was having fun!" She said.

Erina wanted to punch her cousin in her perfect white teeth for this "Shut up!" She said with difficulty."

Alice smiled and sat beside Erina "So? what happened?"

Erina looked at her with her eyes as she was too tired to move "..." her lips trembled and she started crying. Alice saw this and brought her in for a hug.

"Just speak to me, tell me everything until you feel okay." Alice ran her hand on Erina honey-blond hair with a gentle smile. Erina cried silently.

After a while, she calmed down, her eyes were red, but she never left Alice's warm arms as she relaxed in them "...I...I have met my mother." She spoke with a low and tired voice " I met her earlier. She is the book master."

"Oh! Auntie Mana? I have met her a couple of hours back two, before my battle with Alexander." Alice said.

Erina looked at her surprised "You let her? How?" she asked.

"Well I happened to be bored, so I accidentally slipped past the guards, then accidentally found myself in the top floor, and of course, with a pure accident, I came across the book master's room, and then and I am not joking, I accidentally entered her room," Alice said with a pure smile.

Erina looked at her deadpan in the eyes "You're not fooling anyone here." She said.

"Eh? you wound me!"

"Why did you go meet her?" Erina asked.

"Forget about me and let's just talk about you? tell me what happened with you two?" Alice patted Erina's head.

"Damn you...Fine." Erina smiled and told Alice what happened earlier. Alice wasn't that surprised, she had a rough idea about what might go between these two after she met Mana earlier.

....

Alexander was sitting with Mana, drinking tea while Mana had an IVS attached to her arm passing nutrients to her system.

Alexander looked at her with the cup of tea on his lips "So, you can't eat?"

"Oh! you figured all that by yourself, that's something!" Mana said sarcastically. After all, she spent 10 minutes of her time explaining why she can't stomach food and she can only rely on IVS to stay alive.

"Yes, I am a genius myself." Alexander smiled proudly.

Mana chuckled "Just like your mother..." She could See Alexandra in his face. "It is a strange thing..."

"What?" Alexander asked.

"My two friends...Leonora...Alexandra, both had children who just look like them, behave like them, a copy and past...But only I got a child who looks nothing like me, and has nothing of me in her." Mana spoke.

Alexander nodded "Yes...But it is fair."

"Fair?" Mana chuckled "How so?"

"Alice and I spent most of our time with our mother..." Alexander spoke.

"...How much time did you spend with Erina?" he asked.
