Estonia - Tallinn Airport

“Huuuh~? What do you mean today’s a special day…? What a pain… Ahaha, just kidding. Every day’s special when I’m with you.”

“Mhm… yeah. Ohhhh, so that’s what you meant. Today’s the 100 day anniversary of when we first laid eyes on each other. Gotcha.”

Kuguri

……

Ten

“Sorry, it totally slipped my mind. I thought the anniversary of the first time I made you cry would be more important~”

Kuguri

Pffft…

Ten

“So then that makes today the anniversary of us being 7,878 kilometers apart. Be good for me and look forward to what I’ll do when that distance is zero. How’s that sound?”

Kuguri

(He had the nerve to make me wait just so he could talk to a woman over the phone? How annoying.)

Ten

“Yeah, yeah… I’ll see you then.”

Ten

Oops, sorry to keep you waiting.

Kuguri

Because of you, I got to live a once in a lifetime experience. I experienced the utter joy of listening to your pointless chatter.

Ten

Ahaha. She would’ve just kept calling me if I didn’t pick up.

Kuguri

Your phone’s been ringing since we arrived at the airport. Why don’t you just turn it off?

Ten

If I do that, she’ll show up at my dorm next. Anyway, the annoying part’s been taken care of now. Let’s keep moving, yeah?

Kuguri

Alright, perhaps you could make it up to me by carrying my bag.

Ten

Gladly.

Your bag’s a bit on the lighter side, isn’t it? With only this much luggage, you’d barely have enough to stay for a single night, let alone go on a whole trip.

Kuguri

You’re not carrying much yourself.

Ten

I’m a “light and burdenless” kinda guy. Aren’t you too, Kuguri-san?

Kuguri

I’m the type to get what I need locally.

…Oh?

Fired Up Woman

THERE YOU AAARE…! I’M NOT LETTING YOU GET AWAAAAAAY!

Kuguri

Is that woman running right for us one of yours?

Ten

Yuuup. An ex… Or wait, did we break up yet? I don’t remember.

Kuguri

Either way, chasing you all the way to Estonia is a bit much, wouldn’t you think?

Fired Up Woman

I’m so glad I kept an eye on the airport these past 24 hours~! Slipping past security wasn’t exactly easy, though…

Anyhoo… Ten! We need to talk. I need to talk! We can still make things work… right?

Kuguri

Go on. Don’t mind me. I’ll just be here, listening to your pointless chatter.

Fired Up Woman

……

WHAAAAAAAA?!?!?!?! SO BEAUTIFUL?????????

Ten

(…Say what?)

Fired Up Woman

Huh…? Someone this beautiful actually exists? Is he inhuman? Is he beauty incarnate? No, wait, is he GOD?!

Ten

(Wow. I might’ve just witnessed the birth of a “believer”.)

Kuguri

……

Well hello there, lány. Watching you dance with illusions of the past was such a clumsy, yet adorable sight. Show me more.

Let me see you throw your spoiled, rotten love at this worthless man.

Ten

(Did he just call me worthless…?)

Fired Up Woman

Wha…?

Kuguri

I enjoy the sight of chaotic bloodbaths, you know.

Fired Up Woman

…O’ lord. I’ve seen the light. After witnessing beauty, I now know trash when I see it…

Kuguri

Oh? How boring.

Fired Up Woman

You’re so right, dwelling on the past is boring! I’m booking a flight back to JPN literally right now!

Um… Could I… ask for your name, if nothing else?

Kuguri

Domeki Kuguri.

Fired Up Woman

Kuguri-sama…! Even your name sounds heavenly…

Ten

She left…

Kuguri

Did I steal her from you?

Ten

Nope. I’ve got one less burden now. Thanks a lot.
