The crestfallen chemist (3)

"Well, it's life, but the worst version," Akari narrated her story. You see, throughout the twelve years of my life, I have never had a companion or even a passing acquaintance. It's just me, alone in my business, and will never care about others. If I do something bad or damage my family's reputation, even my parents will despise me. They will only be pleased with me if I take action and Suzuki receives recognition. My older brother, who belonged to the Kakusu clan, was constantly taking on new tasks. And my little sister—" Fuyutsuki cut Akari off, saying, "Whoah! Kakusu? Look at me, I'm also a member!Then Fuyutsuki displayed her coat logo to Akari. Akari's expression twisted. "Oh! I apologize for disturbing you, tiny angle. Please continue.Fuyutsuki stated. "Little angel...?" was Akari's response.Whispering, Akari carried on with her tale. "Every moment my little sister is awake, she will constantly be training herself." She aspires to be like my older brother. As a result, I share their constant emphasis on their objectives. Being a professional chemist—more specifically, an alchemist—is my aim. So i will constantly read books, and learn. However, even though I am an expert in chemistry, I am ignorant in other areas. I will therefore constantly be teased at school, and all I can do is cry. To be honest, I'm tired of school and would prefer to be like my big brother. Confined to studying a single subject. For whatever reason, he studies psychology and philosophy. However, he does not attend school. "I understand now. So, ever since you were a young child, it's like literally minding your own business?" Fuyutsuki enquired. "Yes, I suppose so," Akari answered. "You ought to be like the water, you know that. In certain theaters, airports, and even the streets, the cost of a bottle of water is more than that of other locations. You know, we're all like a bottle of water. Although we have diverse values, we are all the same. And still the same, albeit occasionally in the incorrect location. Fuyutsuki was instructed, "You should put yourself where you can be useful." Akari sobbed and gave her a hug. "This will always stay with me, and I will always treasure your words," Akari uttered. Oh, it is not an issue! Please just keep in mind not to end your own life. If you need anything, you may find me anyplace in the town. Alternatively, ask your older brother about me. By the way, what is his name?Fuyutsuki stated. "Suzuki Rikuu, Rikuu." 14 years old," Akari retorted. "All right! I almost forgot, please join the clan, apologies! If you enrolled, you wouldn't need to go to school and could only concentrate on chemistry and other subjects! Fuyutsuki spoke with conviction. "Let me consider it," Akari answered. Kindly come up to Rikuu if you would like!Fuyutsuki stated. "All right, I'll let you know too." Akari grinned and left for her house. Fuyutsuki gave her a wave before turning away. Akari threw her mask, sunglasses, and hat into the river on the way home.

Rikuu was waiting for Akari when she got to her house. "Where have you disappeared to? Subtly, Rikuu enquired. "I went outside to get some fresh air, nothing special," Akari replied. "You know that if you want some fresh air, you'll never wear a mask, sunglasses, and a hat?" said, Rikuu. With tears in her eyes, Akari pleaded to Rikuu, "Please don't tell mom and dad about this," and she turned to go inside their home. She would soon come to the door. As your older sibling, I'm concerned about you, you know. If that's what's on your mind, I won't discredit you. Rikuu remarked, "I can maintain secrets." It's not as though I don't believe in you or anything. I simply don't have the courage to tell you," Akari remarked before leaving Rikuu by himself outside. Despite appearing impassive, Rikuu's eyes betray concern.

When Akari woke up the following morning. Akane was on Akari's top. It's Saturday, big sister! Please teach me alchemy!" Akane happily asked her. Akari nearly overlooked her scheduled meeting with Akane. Akari then instructed and trained Akane in the use of alchemy. As they were was training, Rikuu called Akari. "Akane, I'm terribly sorry! Can we, nevertheless, carry on tomorrow?" "Yeah, I have some things to do anyway," Akane remarked with a mournful expression before turning to walk away. What? Akari questioned Rikuu."Fuyutsuki called and instructed me to direct you to the bridge where you met the previous evening. Rikuu said, "She wants to introduce you to someone." "You're about to jump in that bridge aren't you?" Rikuu continued.Rikuu enquired. In response, Akari said, "I guess, please never tell them." Akari then went and Rikuu grinned cheerfully for feeling relieved.
