Chapter 36: Chapter 35
The following days after that day when Uryu discovers that Errol is not a normal person.
Errol still does his normal routine, of coming to school, sleeping during class, going to the rooftop during lunch, returning to class, and going home.
The only thing that change is, Errol always felt like someone us looking at him and it's not even hard to guess who it is. He couldn't help but sigh and looked toward the direction where he felt the gaze.
Uryu who was observing Errol from afar using a telescope was surprised when he suddenly turn to look at him as he was standing behind a tree a few hundred meters away from Errol who was on the rooftop of the school. He blinks his eyes and suddenly Errol was no longer on his position.
Uryu search around the place and didn't find him until he heard his voice on his back.
"*Sigh* Why do you stalk me this day's Ishida? Did you actually swing that way" Errol said in a joking tone, Uryu was surprised and immediately jumped far away from him.
Uryu looks wary at Errol as he didn't know how he came to his back in an instant, he just blinks for a millisecond and he disappeared from his vision and heard his voice from his back.
'Is it pure speed or a kind of teleportation?' Uryu thought before replying to Errol. "...stop joking, and the reason I am observing you is that I want to know what are you, your spiritual pressure feels like a human but there is also something else there which is something I first encounter"
Errol didn't feel anything wrong with what he said as he might do the same if he met someone unusual that is close by that he meets every day. The only reason he didn't do the same as Uryu was that he already knows him enough from the anime.
"Well I already told you, I am just a human...maybe a bit special, but you know what I mean cause aren't you also the same" Errol said with a smile.
Uryu could not deny his words and lowered his vigilance a bit. "So what are you really?"
Errol could not help but feel annoyed. "I already told you man, a human, are you deaf?
Why do you keep on asking the same question"
"I'm not deaf, I am a Quincy," He said proudly.
"I know"
Uryu was about to explain what Quincy is before getting interrupted. "You know?"
"Yes, since day 1 of school" Errol replied while taking a loaf of bread from his pocket as he haven't had lunch yet.
"How do you know about, Quincy?" Uryu asks out of curiosity as he was the last Quincy that exists, if only he knows.
Errol took a bite of his bread as he said. "A cat told me"
"Cat?" Uryu tilted his head, but he didn't think much and just thought it was someone that resembles a cat.
"Yes a Cat, anyway lunch break is almost over let's get back to the classroom, the bell should ring just the moment we return" Errol said before he took the lead
Uryu stared at his back before sighing and following. "Just so you know I still don't trust you"
"Yes, yes" Errol said nonchalantly.
Uryu can't help but feel annoyed at his nonchalant attitude as if he acts like he was not a threat and can be defeated easily.
During the time of their walk, they didn't talk much as they are both the same type of person who is not good at talking unless they are people close to them.
They still did some small talk, with Uryu taking the lead as he was a more sociable person than Errol and was trying to understand what he is.
Uryu and Errol never much had any talk outside the classroom and it was mostly Uryu complaining to Errol about not sleeping in class and the latter just respond to him.
They returned to the classroom to the surprised look of their classmates.
"What no way?..."
"Those two are actually together..."
"Is this what they called birds of the same feather flock together?"
Errol and Uryu can't help but look at each other weirdly from the reaction of their classmates. Before going to their seats, and doing their own thing.
But their action is so in sync that their classmates thought they were friends. It's not much of a big deal if it's a normal people but the two of them are the lone wolf in class.
Errol never talked much to the others except when they approached him as he doesn't deny helping them, the same with Uryu he also doesn't usually talk and but he still helps when someone asks for his help.
The commotion quiet down later and class return to normal again.
The following days after that, Uryu and Errol didn't change their routine, but they are closer and can be called friends in some ways than their other classmates as they are quite similar in some ways, and was part of the spiritual side.
One day when Errol decided to go home with his feet as he usually rides ride a car from going and returning from school, Uryu was walking with him out of the class.
They reach the gate and they were still together, one was reading a book while the other one is listening to music in his earphones with his hands in his jacket pocket. They walked as if they planned to hang out.
After a few turns, in another couple minutes and they were still together walking.
After another couple of minutes, Errol removed his earphones and Uryu close his books.
"Hey Ishida, why are you following me again?" Errol asked giving him a stare.
"That should be my question, why are you following me, Belladona?" Uryu pushes his glasses that makes it glow and gives the same stare.
After a few seconds as if something clicks in their mind.
""Do you also live in this district?"" They ask the same question at the same time.
They didn't need to hear the answer of the other as it was quite clear just from the way they ask. Suddenly a car has stopped in front of the two of them, the window slide down and a familiar face appeared in front of them.
"Oh Erl, I didn't expect to see you here, oh and is that your friend!? Finally, I can rest in peace" Orlando appears in front of them, before noticing Uryu put the pieces in his head together, and couldn't help but cry feeling relieved.
"Actually wer-mmmf" Uryu was about to clear the misunderstanding when suddenly Errol covered his mouth with his hands.
"Yes, yes were the best of friends in the school, right Uryu?" Errol gives Uryu a scary stare as if saying 'try to make my grandpa disappointed and I'll kill you'.
Uryu struggles from removing Errol's hands, and looking at the Old Orlando that looks so happy hearing his grandson having a friend of his age, he finally gives up and nodded.
"Hahaha, I see, I see, what's your name kid?" Orlando asked him with a smile.
Uryu finally removed Errol's hand and cough a couple of times before introducing himself. " I am Uryu Ishida, Sir"
"Ishida?, so you are the son of Ryuken??" Grandpa Orlando asks in a surprise tone.
"You know my father?" Uryu asks with not so fond tone in his voice.
"Yes, didn't Errol mention it? He was quite close with your father compared to me" Orlando said in confusion.
Uryu turn to Errol whose face didn't change much. He couldn't help but ask. "So you know me from the start?"
"Yep, I know your dad and even your mother" Errol said with a grin.
'Why does it sound wrong when he mentioned my mom?' Uryu thought.
Uryu was about to say something when suddenly Orlando laugh. "Hahaha looks like Errol had played you, but anyway do you want to come to our house to just relax, Errol has a large collection of games"
"N-" Uryu was about to deny it when Errol came over and whisper to him.
"I'll owe you a favor, just accept grandpa's request, it's been a while since I last saw him this happy"
Uryu looks at him for a moment before he sighs, he gives Orlando a polite smile. "I would love to, sir"
"Hahaha, then come in here inside the car, and no need to call me sir just call me grandpa or grandpa Lando hahaha"
Errol and Uryu smile wryly at the Old man's enthusiasm and got inside the car before it started and headed towards Errol's home.
Uryu spent his time in the house of Errol for a while, just listening to the talk of Orlando while eating the food that Orlando ask the maid to prepare for them. Although it was mostly him complaining about Errol's loner tendencies.
When Uryu was about to go home he was stopped by Orlando for a moment at the door.
"Thank you Uryu-kun for being his friend, you don't how much I appreciate it, and please take care of him, Errol might tend to like to stay away from others, but he also desired someone to get along with, it's just he doesn't know how to" Grandpa Orlando said in a gentle tone.
'You are asking the wrong person old man' Uryu didn't know what to say to the sincere request from the old man but he still answered.
"I'll try" Uryu said, as he felt it will be hard to get along with someone like Errol.
Errol at the back door who was eavesdropping on his grandpa, can't help but feel embarrassed. "Who ask you to help me get friends..."
