The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 28: Movie

The movie is about to start, and Elena bought some snacks and some, okmany drinks.

"I am so excited!" she said.

"Our seats are next to each other." Miss Serah said.

Of course, they would be next to each other if they were bought together.

Usually, when I go to watch movies with my parents, I fall asleep. Even when Elena and I watched a movie together, I fell asleep, and she woke me up with a punch. Since then, I haven't fallen asleep whenever I am with her, but today, I felt a little sleepy because I didn't sleep last night. I don't want to get punched today.

I glanced at Elena; she looked thrilled. Her smiling face is so cute.

"What's wrong?" She noticed that I was looking at her.

"You look cute," I said without thinking.

"Das, you idiot!"

What? I thought she would be happy, but why is she...

"The lights are off, and the movie just started, and you want to do naughty stuff?"

"What are you talking about?"

She glanced a few rows behind us. Many couples were kissing each other.

"No, no, I didn't mean it that way."

Why do they come into the theater to do this stuff? I don't understand.

Besides, even if I wanted to do that, I can't, because Miss Serah is right next to me.

I looked at Miss Serah; she is lost in the movie.

Does Miss Serah like games and anime too?

The movie was 2 hours long, and I didn't sleep as I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.

It was a fantastic movie, but the ending was sad.

I thought Elena would be sad because of the tragic ending, but she looked happy.

"How was the movie, Das?" Elena asked.

"Huh? It was good, but the ending was..."

"You didn't like the ending?"

"Well, the protagonist died, so..."

"But he saved the world."

"That's right, Das. He saved the world," World!" Miss Serah quipped.

What's the point of saving the world when you are dead?

There are two prequels of this movie; in the first movie, the protagonist was weak, and everyone made fun of him; not only that but his friends and family ridiculed him.

As the story progressed, he became strong and made new friends, but most girls were girls.

In the second movie, he fought with many enemies, saved people, but they still ridiculed him, which he didn't mind because he had new friends.

At the end of the second movie, most of the heroines died saving the protagonist.

In the third movie, which we just watched, the protagonist fought with his friends and many enemies. Halfway through the film, all the protagonist's friends died, his lover, the other girls who loved him, everyone died.

In the end, he also died while saving the world. The world was saved, but everyone was dead; no one will ever know what the protagonist and his companions did.

I won't say this out loud, I shouldn't even think this, but it was me, I would have let the world die. What's the point of saving the world when you die? If it were me, I would have saved the heroines and escaped from there.

"What's wrong, Das?" Elena asked.

"Nothing, I was just thinking of the movie."

"It's up to you how you understand the ending." Miss Serah said.

"What do you mean?"

"The protagonist saved the world and lost his friends, but did you ever think why he saved the world even though he knew he would die?" Miss Serah asked.

Because he was a fool.

"Think about it as, even if he were still alive after saving the world, he would have been lonely," Elena said.

"What do you mean?"

"If he were alive after saving the world, he would have no place to go because his loved ones were already dead." Miss Serah said.

"So if he dies in the end, that means he is now reunited with his lover and friends," Elena said.

"That's..."

That's another way to think about it, but...

"Das," Elena said.

"Hmm?"

"If something like that happens to us, I will save you no matter what happens."

"You don't need to."

Because I will be the one saving you.

"The game was great, but the anime adaptation was great too." Miss Serah said.

"Yeah, but I like the game more because you can select your ending," Elena said.

Own ending, huh? I will try playing the game.

"If LWO got an anime adaption, it would be outstanding," Elena said.

"That's impossible because LWO doesn't have any stores--"

She punched me; I got stuck on this date too, but why?

"It was your fault, Das." Miss Serah said.

"My fault?"

I glanced at Elena, and she 'hmph'ed me.

"I don't understand people's feelings. But as a girl, I understand a girl's feelings." Miss Serah said. 

"What do you want to say?"

"If your girlfriend says something, you should just keep agreeing, even if it's only lip service."

"But-"

"If you keep doing that, she might dump you one day."

"What?"

"I never considered dating anyone, anyone, but I think I am falling for you." Miss Serah said.

She is kidding, right?

"What are you saying?!"

"Hey, he is your student; how can you lay hands on your student?" Elena quipped.

"Calm down, Elena, she didn't mean it--"

"You are a failure as a teacher."

"Elena, she didn't mean it that way, right Miss Serah?"

"Who knows?"

Tell me if you are kidding.

"Elena, you shouldn't punch your boyfriend." Miss Serah said.

"Shut up!"

"If you keep doing that, he will dump you."

"Huh? Will you, Das?" Elena looked at me with teary eyes.

I won't, but I don't want to get punched either.

"If you keep hitting me, then I might have to think about it."

"No, I will never hit you again, I promise!"

This is quite fun. I haven't seen her like that since we started dating.

"If you ever dump her, then I will be waiting for you."

"He won't dump me, right, Das?"

"Who knows?"

"Das!"

This is fun.

"I have a car, so how about I drop you off?" Ms. Serah said.

"Sure, we don't know mi--"

"No, thanks!" Elena quipped.

"Elena?"

"She just wants to know your home address!"

"You are overthinking, right Miss--"

"Tch!" Miss Serah clicked her tongue.

"I knew it!"

"Das, your girlfriend is brilliant."

No, she is an idiot.

"Das and I will always be together; there will be no chance for you!"

Elena grabbed my arm as she said that.

"I was kidding at first, but now I want to steal your boyfriend!"

What is this teacher saying to her student?

"Miss Serah, you don't mean it, right?" I asked.

She smiled in response.

"If I want to know his address, then I can easily check it on the school register." Miss Serah said.

"Are you going to lay your hands on your student?"

Elena is already holding my arm, but now she is holding it with both hands.

"I won't." Miss Serah said.

"Then--"

"But Das is not a student."

Wait, does she know about it? Well, every teacher knows, so it's natural that she knows it too, but...

"What do you mean?" Elena asked.

"He is just attending----"

I tried to stop Miss Serah without thinking and ended up hugging her.

"Miss Serah, I haven't told Elena about it yet!" I whispered.

"Is that so? I understand."

"Hey, what are you doing, Das? So you like big ones after all!"

"I don't."

Big ones are soft, but I am okay with small ones.

Elena and I are on our way home.

"Das, you idiot!"

"I am sorry."

"I don't need your apology!"

She was furious, but I had no other choice at that time.

"I love you."

"You... I forgive you this time."

Love is great.

"Hey, Das."

"What?"

"Let's go to a love hotel."
