I Learned that Es is a Sadist

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you perhaps going through your 8th grader syndrome again?" An amused voice questioned as another groaned and looked down on the ground.

"No."

"There is no need to be ashamed of it, I will always welcome you here even if you are going through a phase like this."

"Es pl-"

He tried to speak and refute her claims but was cut off.

"Additionally this type of phase usually comes from people having a hard time in reality and use their imagination as a way to escape their responsibility, so if you ever need a place to vent your fantastical stories…. I'm open to listen."

"Wha- I- I- ah *Sigh*" Deciding to just give up, Jack sighed at his situation as he silently swore to always remember to think about his words before he puts his foot in his mouth.

But knowing himself that's highly unlikely.

"*Hmmm*"

Breaking him from his thoughts a smug *humm* came from the person in front of him.

Looking at her face he could see that she was smiling so smugly that he could feel the weight of her smugness…..

Is smugness even a word?... Eh doesn't matter, what does matter is how he'll get Es to stop this torture! (teasing)

*Sigh*

Thinking back about it, He should've seen this coming a mile away when he started narrating his story and she looked at him with a small smirk….. but still!! Who would've thought that the dignified, cold,  professional and hot Es would be…

A Sadist!!!!

Heck! She even took away his book(Alter Ego) saying that she'll look at his chuuni book later!

Albeit he gave it willingly, But still!!

*Sigh* he really should think about my actions and words more.

After moping around his thoughts for a while a hand waved in front of his sight attracting his attention.

"Hey is Mister contractor still there?"

Hearing the words mister contractor he glared at her from behind his mask, while she merely smirked at his antics.

"hmmm? Don't have words anymore? Are you sulking and glaring at me because you didn't like my reaction to your story?"

Hearing that she knew he was glaring at her even with his mask on Jack was immediately startled and immediately refuted it.

"What!! How could I ever glare at the most profound and knowledgeable and beautiful Es?"

He didn't even question how she knew he was glaring at her, he immediately just started to compliment her.

Hearing his compliments(Excuses) she merely raised an eyebrow and kept her silence to hear what he had to say.

"I would never dare to judge your reaction as negative in my view and gain your displeasure."

"In fact! I have a proposal!"

"What kind?" Hearing his words she couldn't help but be a little curious to his words.

"Ohhhh, is the cold-hearted Es finally warming up to me?" He teased not knowing the mistake he made.

"I'll refuse it then." And there it was, she quickly put her interest back to her book ignoring Jack.

"Wait no!!! Please hear me out!!" Quickly reacting he immediately got down on his knees and tugged on her arms.

"Ugh, What is it then?" instantly becoming annoyed by his antics she decided to ask to get this over with quickly.

"Can I stay over for a bit more?" He pleaded as he clasped his hands together in a praying pose while looking up at her face.

In conclusion, it was a very bizarre sight as a masked man wearing a coat was praying and asking to stay for a bit more to a young European lady looking at him weirdly.

The two had a standoff for a while as one was stuck in a praying pose, kneeling down and looking up, while the other was calmly holding a book while looking down at the other kneeling and begging at her.

In the end, one of them broke first.

"Sigh…. How long?" Es eventually asked as she looked down at jack.

"Hmmm, probably for the rest of- I mean till I find another place to stay." Realizing what he was about to say he quickly corrected himself less she denies his request.

"Hmmm." Hearing his request she scrunched her eyebrows together and thought.

"I know that this may be a very irrational request but please let me stay for a bit more." He genuinely wanted to stay due to him not having an actual home anywhere else and the fact that he wants to stay close to Es.

Es seeing him genuinely asking and not having another of his absurd antics was moved…..

To disgust.

Jack seeing her face thought of it as her having a hard time deciding to refuse him.

So being the man(doubtful) he is, he spoke.

"Ah, I see, I'll find another place to stay then." 

Just as he was about to stand up to turn away from her, she spoke.

"You can stay, however long you want."

Momentarily stopping his movements he slowly looked at her straight in the eyes and said.

"l can?"

"Yes, I'm certain."

"Wha- really!? I can't believe it! I thought you would kick me out."

"Then would you like to leave?"

"No I would like to stay and be in a warm area," He immediately changed attitudes at the flip of a coin.

"But in exchange." 

"Wait what, but you already said I could stay?"

"You want to leave?"

"Please state your demands." Quickly becoming subservient, he immediately asked for what she wanted.

"I would like to conduct a small test with you."

"Like last time?"

"No, it's different this time."

"Oh, ok." Deciding to not question it, he responded joyfully.

"Let's start now," Starting the test she reached from the drawer in her desk and pulled something out from it.

It was a blank picture book.

It wasn't like the other picture books she took out last time, those already pictures at the beginning and a title.

But this time the picture book she took out was purely blank, there wasn't a title and when she opened it there were only borders of where a picture should be and blank space below that looked to be where words should be.

"Now, I'll ask you three questions, please do your best to answer them."

"Ok," although he saw the picture book had no pictures he made no comments on it, he trusted Es and her weird things.

"If you were to die and be stuck in purgatory what would you want it to look like?" 

"uh," What a weird question he thought. Still, he knew that Es had no harmful intentions and wasn't shaken that much, he was merely weirded out a bit.

Though he didnt know how to answer her initially he began to feel like he was being moved or suggested to answer truthfully.

"Probably nothing."

"Why?"

"I don't know, and I honestly wouldn't care what my purgatory would look like, even if it was a hell with demons."

"I see," she spoke meaningfully as she looked at the picture book being changed in real-time and the once blank picture was being replaced with something.

A lone figure was floating in a place void of anything. The only notable thing in the picture was the figure floating and the white space void of anything but him.

Below the picture were the blank spaces on the picture book being filled with words.

'Not caring about the end the fool floated around in this place filled with nothing but himself, a lonely existence but one he could not change nor regret for he knew that this was his beginning and end.'

Although it could be seen by Es, Jack could not, it was meant that way as Jack didn't really care that much about it, though he did care about Es reaction to his answer.

"Hmmm,"

"Please don't call me chuuni again Es." He pleaded as he remembered last time.

"You don't have to worry I will not call you a chuuni during the test."

"Sigh, so you'll call me one after… ok I see."

"Now on to the next test."

She flipped the page and landed on the next one. It was the same as last time. Everything on it was blank.

"Is every page blank?"

"No, you just can't see it."

"Sasuga Es-sama being able to use your right eye of omnipotence like this to bully me." And just like that he put another foot in his mouth.

"Shush, now answer this."

"Ok,"

"If you could be freed from that purgatory, where would you want to go?"

"You."

"What?"

Quickly realizing what he said he quickly tried to think of a solution to save himself.

"Here! I would want to come here." Clarifying his words he nodded his head vigorously as if to affirm it.

"Why would you want to go to a place where everything's Black and white, cut off from the rest of the world and there's only me and that facade?"

"That's exactly why."He spoke and paused for a bit, before continuing. "Because three is better than two."

His words were one thing, but the picture that appeared and the words that were written there said otherwise.

The picture was separated into two with the first picture of the figure appearing to have arrived in a dim hallway with a stone wall with a face split between a man and a woman carved on it in front of the figure.

While the second picture was in a study with a young maiden sitting down behind a desk and the figure staring at the young maiden with hearts in a bubble over his head.

The words below the pictures were.

'Arriving in an unknown place he had met a facade of stone that guided him through the dim hallway and arrived at a study where he had fallen at first sight to a young maiden reading a book.'

Es scrutinized the second picture and the words written on the page seriously, Although she looked serious, the slight blush on her cheeks betrayed her serious look.

"Oy, wh-why are you blushing?" Although Jack sounded playful, he was also very worried, what did the picture book show her?! Why does she have a slight blush!? Am I getting kicked out after this?!!!

If he didn't have his mask, his face would've morphed like a madman changing between flustered to angry to worried to panicked, over and over again.

Good thing that his mask hid his face.

"Ahem," coughing in her hand, Es attracted Jack's attention as he attentively listened. "Don't worry it's nothing,"

She didn't have a blush on her face anymore as she quickly controlled her emotions with practice from controlling her impulse.

(It didn't look like nothing!! You were blushing! Although it looked wonderful, Still!!!!)

Though he thought of this inside, outside he was calm and made no fuss with his body or words.

"On to the next and last question then,"

"Ok," He blankly said, it would make Saitama proud.

"What if you suddenly lost that place? What would you do?"

Hearing her last question he stopped for a minute before answering.

"I would just find you again." There was no hesitation in his words, only certainty on finding her again.

"Hmmm? Is that your answer? How odd." She spoke as if she wasn't expecting an answer like that, and by all means she shouldn't have, it was Jack who was unpredictable in his answer.

Once again the blank page was being filled with different pictures of a figure  wandering around different places looking for the place he called home...her.

One of the pictures was a place where black creatures were seen in the background and the figure was seen just walking past them all.

Below the pictures were words depicting it.

'Losing the place he called home he began his journey to find her again no matter where, be it another world he would keep searching even if it took a millennium, his search would not end until he found her again.'

"Hmmm, what a wonderful story that journey would be."

"What journey?"

"Nothing you need to know." She spoke as she closed the book with a thud and placed it back in the drawer below her desk.

"Now I'm curious. But before that, what about the results?"

"The results?"

"Yeah the results. Don't you always tell me what my results are."

Es thought about it for a while and soon responded back to the eager Jack.

"Very well since you wish to know, naturally I'll tell you your results."

"So what are they?"

"You are a Fool."

"I'm a what now?"

"You're an Idiot."

"Wha- Es!!"

Jack shouted and stared at the smirking Es knowing he had just been fooled, maybe that's why she called her a fool because he is one, an idiot.

Still he'll deny it since he didn't want to be one.

"Still... right eye of omnipotence? Really? Are you actually an eighth grader Jack?"

"Wha- no, that was in the moment!"

"You mean you're imaginary moment?"

"You, You!!" Jack pointed at her, "When did you get so good at being a sadist?!"

"Don't be so dramatic Jack, maybe if you ask me what I would like my purgatory is I would answer with Probably nothing."

"Wha- Wha-" It was at that moment that Jack realized he fell into a trap to make him look like an idiot chuuni, it was also the moment he was convinced that Es was a mastermind Sadist.
