Chapter 180 Familiar face
Medium-long jet black hair which smoothly flowed down upto her shoulder blades like waterfall, soft, wispy bangs which hung freely over her small forehead, she had a small yet delicate round face.
Her pitch black eyes which were as dark as the midnight sky was mysteriously drawing him into their mysterious depths.
And while standing under the sunlight, her milky white skin was glowing like crystals. There was a subtle blush on her cheeks, accentuating the radiance of her rosy red lips, which held a hint of shy but alluring smile.
She was one of the most beautiful girl, he had seen in his lifetime. But what drew him was neither her charms nor her beauty, Hiro was simply drawn by the sense of familiarity her face provided him.
And even though there was another girl standing beside her who was equally charming, his eyes were only focused at the girl who was giving him a sense of familiarity.
"What took you two so long?" Mumbling such, Akashi strode towards the direction of the two girls infront of Hiro's eyes, walking past Hiro.
Hiro on the other hand remained frozen at his place with a greivous look on his face. But as Akashi entered into his sight of perception, he finally realised the reason behind Akashi's earlier weird behaviour.
'How did he get to know her? Is he dating her?' Thoughts like this surfaced in his mind as he witnessed Akashi talking to the girl infront.
While staring at their sight, without even realising Hiro was subconsciously displaying a face full of envy. His eyes bloodshot, he was glaring at Akashi everytime when he was happily talking to the girl infront.
Rin who was standing right behind him was also lost at the sight of the two girls infront. Thus, he too failed to notice the changes in Hiro's facial expression.
However Endo had a different reaction. Since he wasn't drawn by the beauty of the two girls infront, he was instead looking at the direction of Hiro.
'Why is he making such facial expression?' Thought Endo while staring at Hiro.
Then again, he followed the direction of Hiro's eyes. And as he followed Hiro's eyes, he found Hiro staring at the girl infront.
And as he began to analyse Hiro's reaction, he found that everytime when Akashi was acting friendly with one of the girl, Hiro was displaying expression full of envy on his face.
'Is he in love with one of the girl infront?' Thought Endo after analysing Hiro's reactions. However he was not sure, if his thoughts were accurate or not. But based on his observation, he could atleast tell that the reason behind Hiro acting such was definitely related with the girl infront.
In order to prevent those girls or Akashi from seeing Hiro's envious expression, Endo immediately tapped Hiro's shoulder forcing Hiro to shift his attention away from those people infront.
"Those two girls will also be joining us today." Mumbled Endo. "Sorry Hiro! Akashi had told us to not tell you about the addition of those two girls."
And while Endo was explaining that those two girls will be joining them, the three of them then began to walk towards the direction where Hiro, Endo and Rin were standing currently.
And as they reached closer to them, Akashi began to introduce the two girls to them.
But just as Akashi was about to introduce one of the two girls to Hiro, Hiro subconsciously blurted her name, "Ishikawa Sumire"
Hearing her name, Sumire smiled as she thought that Akashi had already told about her to Hiro. But just as she turned towards Akashi to speak something, she found him with a expression full of shock.
Judging by the expression Akashi was displaying, she could tell that Akashi hadn't introduced her to him.
Thus instead of introduction or greeting, she questioned him instead, "Have we met somewhere before?" with a puzzled look on her face.
Neither she could remember his face nor she could tell the reason behind him knowing her name.
Just as Hiro heard her question, he realised that his mistake of subconsciously blurting her name.
And even though he knew a lot about her, since she was one of the person who was very close to him in his previous life, he couldn't tell her so. Afterall in this life he had never met her once.
Thus, Hiro began to panic as he began to think of excuses to make him seem less suspicious. Afterall he didn't want to leave a negative impression of him.
Finally using the knowledge of his previous life, he thought of a perfect excuse, "Aren't you that girl from the temple in the hill?"
Hearing Hiro's question, her eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe how he knew about her past. Thus she asked him with a look of surprise on her face, "How did you know?"
Even Akashi and another girl who was standing beside her was shocked after Sumire confirmed Hiro's claims. None of those two who had known her were familiar about her connection with the temple in the hill.
"My family used to visit that temple a lot when I was younger. And everytime when we visited the tmeple, I always noticed a little girl who was always helping the priest of the temple." Nonchalantly replied Hiro.
His words sounded so genuine that she couldn't even detect an ounce of lie in it. However his words somehow still felt unconvincing to her.
Afterall when she used to help the priest of the temple she was still very young.
"The priest of the temple is my grandfather. So I did went there to help him during my early years. But I was very young back then, so how could you tell that it was me?" In somewhat suspicious way, Sumire questioned Hiro after revealing few things about her past.
Infact Hiro knew very well that at that time Sumire was only about 7 or 8 years old. However he was still prepared for her question.
Thus without any sort hesitation, he answered a bit cheesily, "Your eyes are still the same as they were before."
