Chapter 2: What color do you want to be?

But most of the geniuses are lonely.

I don't know what other people's geniuses are, but judging from the people who Rin has seen called 'geniuses', there is no doubt that this sentence is applicable.

For example, the white girl who is now on the plane with her, Shiina Mashiro.

Even though his father told him to 'get along with Miss Rin' before boarding the plane, of course, Rin was told the same thing by Noelle, but the subject was replaced by Mashiro. The goofy genius didn't mean to talk to Rin at all, just playing with the candy - or rather playing with the candy - without the slightest fear of the former beast like most people.

Touching the head, shaking the claws, tickling, pinching the ears, poking the face, plucking the hair of all kinds of bear children and non-bear children's gameplay opened Rin's eyes, but also made her secretly have a black line - if it weren't for her own side, even if the candy had been 'influenced' to almost harmless humans and animals, according to this kind of play, I am afraid that it would have already scratched a few marks, right?

"Are candy fun?"

When Mashiro was obviously playing about the same, Rin asked with a little curiosity, holding her chin.

"Not bad."

Got such an answer.

Then, Mahaku took out a notebook from his suitcase to practice sketching, and without looking at the candy, he quickly drew a candy that looked like a living thing - even the wolf face showed a very human, as if he had seen a ghost.

"For you."

Her red crystal-like eyes stared at her without any impurities, and the girl handed the painting to Rin.

"Give it to me?"

Blinking slightly in surprise, Rin asked.

"Yes."

"Well, thank you."

Taking the gift that surprised her, Rin said a little uncomfortable.

There were many people who had given her gifts—her other identity, her 'elder brother', Tosaka Tokitomi, whether it was wealth, strength, fame, status, even those ancient families that had been handed down for hundreds of years, and they had to show respect for him, or what he had. And as the only sister on the surface that this person currently admits, Aiwu and Wuxia have naturally been gifted by many people. Sometimes, too, because of the no-brained sights of Tosaka Tokitomi, Rin would pass on the gifts given to him - she herself said that she was not pressured to turn her left hand into her right hand - and out of courtesy, these people would also give her a small gift.

However, if we consider her, the figure of 'Rin Tosaka', as an independent individual, how many of these gifts were actually given to 'her' and not 'Tosaka's sister'?

And how many of those gifts were given to Tosaka Toshitoki, which were simply given to the independent individual of 'Tosaka Tosaka Tokitoki'?

"Rin doesn't like it?"

Seeing the change in the expression on her face, Mahaku looked directly into her eyes and asked.

"No, it's just a thought of something from the past." Rin denied.

“?”

The curious eyes make it involuntarily difficult to refuse.

"I rarely receive gifts from others, so I'm a little surprised by Mahaku's gifts." After thinking about it, Rin explained.

This is also a certain degree of truth - there are not many gifts for 'Rin Tosaka' alone.

Even those who know her other identity don't have an attitude of approval for the personality of 'Rin Tosaka'. When they got along, most of them still treated her in the same way as Tosaka Shichen. Even if they did, they treated her in the same way that they treated 'Rin Tosaka', most of them just out of their own amusement or the pretense of outsiders - just an illusion disguised by that guy, which was their common opinion.

Of course, it can't be said that their views are wrong, after all, at the beginning, the identity of 'Rin Tosaka' was indeed just an expedient measure used for short-term disguise. It's just that after a year of growth, Rin Tosaka, who was originally just a 'pseudo' created by another identity, has grown into a nearly semi-independent female personality.

On the contrary, a few friends made at Santa Crónica-White Emperor School were more sincere about 'Rin Tosaka' - although this sincerity made her a little crying and laughing a lot of times.

"Oh."

The girl nodded.

"What color does Rin want to be?"

What? The topic shifted too quickly, right? Also, what do you mean by that, girl?

That's not the point, though.

"What color does Mashiro think I am?"

Rin asked—she wondered what color she was in the eyes of this pure white girl.

"Cyan, with a little bit of black and gray."

She looked at her very seriously for a moment, and the girl replied.

Cyan, black, and gray.

The former belongs to the cold color system, and it is also in line with Rin's positioning of his own image - a girl like a flower of Kaolin. And black has to say that the girl's intuition is unexpectedly keen. As for the last gray, it is not incomprehensible that he has just experienced the failure of his life not long ago, and there will be a hint of gray.

However, to be able to feel these children's intuition is really extraordinarily acute!

"So, does Mashiro hate me like this?"

Ice-blue eyes stared straight at the pure white girl, and Rin asked softly.

"Hate?"

Mashiro doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word.

"Well, it's nothing, do you want to eat Baumkuchen?" After thinking about it, Rin still didn't say anything like 'Mahaku wants to be friends with me?' - Mahaku, who has only about (9) EQ and IQ, might have a little difficulty understanding the meaning of friends or something. Moreover, in doing so, it is also a bit of a guilt to deceive children.

"I want to eat." The answer was unusually swift.

“”

Sure enough, there is only (9)!

Rin sighed secretly in his heart, but it was nothing, he wasn't so faithful to his instincts, and he couldn't paint such a spiritual picture at such an age, right?

Baumkuchen was bought at a shop at the airport, and the price was not expensive, and it should taste good when you look at Mashiro's squinting eyes and looking like a kitten.

"Do you want to eat?"

“?”

"If you want to eat, I can give it to you!"

Here's the cake I bought, okay?

"Ah~"

And then it was fed like that.

However, how do you break it if it feels good?

"What color does Rin want to be?"

“”

――Don't guess the girl's mind〜

But what color do you want to be?

"Probably, it's a flame-like orange ****, the kind that can warm others."
