Chapter 3 : Villain
Part 1
“What a nostalgic dream”
While muttering that I wipe my eyes and yawn while looking around from my seat.
“…Yawning in front of someone presence is not a good manner, Yami-sama”
“Ups, sorry Lili, I just have nostalgic dream”
The one who sit in front of me is Lili, I call her that since 7171 is hard to call. She’s the one who always beside ever since ten years ago, I already think of her as my own family, and she’s the only one who I told about my true identity.
“It’s been ten years since then, huh…”
To have that dream, maybe it’s because I finally can meet hikari again.
“You also changed after ten years…”
Humanoid is growing as well, They programed to grow to the same appearance as their master. After ten years she grown become a bishoujo with her SLBL (Straight Long Black Hair) and that jewel like silver eyes, also even though it’s not too big but look slender, That chest.
“…You’re eyes looks indecent, Yami-sama”
She covering her chest with her hand while bend her body to the side.
“S...Sorry, inadvertently...”
“…”
She bending her body and use her hand to cover her chest, She look at me with her usual expressionless face but with slight blush on her cheeks. yep, it's cute!
“N…No, it’s just I accidentally looking at them! It’s not that I watch them intentionally!”
Because of her unexpected cuteness, I frantically trying to hide my embarrassment. But she only stare at me with cold eyes.
“…Then,…You think I’m not even charming?”
“nope, that's not true! you're cute!”
I declare it confidently.
“…!!”
Looks like she didn't expect that, she only look down with red face. Humanoid usually don’t care about something like that, All the humanoid I see in Misas never showing any emotion like Lili does, Even when I accidentally grab the their chest, She don’t show any reaction but Lili who at that time beside me, pull my ear strongly without saying anything.
[Yami…I know you already at that age, But staring at woman chest is a bit rude]
[It’s men instinct, You can’t blame him, you know?]
Metatron scolding me, and Thanatos answering in my stead while laughing.
(It’s not that, I’m just not used seeing her with casual clothes, so…)
I answer them using my mind, since Lili always think I talking to her when I talk to Metatron and Thanatos, I learning to speak with them by only using telepathy.
Right now Lili wearing casual clothes because I ask her that, it will too stand out if she wearing her usual maid uniform, When you looking like this she look like normal girl, Even I notice there’s so many male passenger who steal glance at her and not just once, if not because that choker on her neck everyone will think she just a normal human and starting to flirt with her (of course, only over my dead body first), If I can, I want to remove that choker but I can’t remove it, Because to humanoid that choker serve as their lifeline.
“By the way, How long until we can get to Reinslan?”
I try to change the subject.
“…if we go with this speed I believe we will arrive in one hour, twelve minutes and twenty six second”
She answered with confidence.
“As usual, You really strict with time”
I say that while sighing, She really strict about time, She always doing her work exactly in time, No more no less.
"Look! it's starting!"
I hear a passenger say that while pointing at the TV that installed within this train cabin, every cabin have one TV. Talk about luxury...
When I look at television that installed within this train, I saw familiar face, A blonde haired girl with opal blue eyes and have dignified atmosphere around her, she was the current Queen of Sygrine, she become The Queen one year ago by replacing her father Gregrain Astraea, who’s passed away because he's already too old, Even though she only 14 years old, (that mean two years younger than me) she already acknowledged by the citizens as a capable leader, she is Silvarin Astraea.
Beside her, I see another familiar face who I always want to meet ever since ten years ago, yes, It’s my little sister, Hikari. Her long silver hair is the same with mother, and her sharp green eyes is just like father, No matter how many time I look at her on the TV she’s really grown to be beauty. She just like mother in young version.
Five years ago, When Rin come to Misas for her father business, By some coincidence I become friend with her.
“I’m glad, Looks like Rin get along well with Hikari”
I call her Rin, Because she’s the one who asked me to call her that, But maybe I can’t call her like that anymore though. I once told her about Hikari and she say she will find her and want to become friend with her.
“Ah, Silvarin-sama and Hikari-sama, What a divine beauty, I don’t care if I have to die for them”
I look at one of passenger who said that while looking at the TV too.
“It’s not just you, We also feel the same way”
There’s other passenger who also said that, along with more other passenger nodding their head while saying, Yes…Yes.
It can’t be helped if they think like that, Because these two is look so stunning that there’s even people who saying even the diamond will lose it’s dazzling if go near them. Those two already inseparable best friend that known as “Two Goddess”, since those two always together anywhere whether in school or public event like this.
“And they strong as well”
I can’t help to muttering too, They not only famous because their beauty but also their standing and their ability to summon High rank Guardian, Rin is not just a 4th rank Hero but also the current Queen of Sygrine and her Guardian, Uriel, The Archangel who called Flame of God and one of Seraphim, And Hikari is a 3rd rank Hero with her healing ability called Heaven Blessing and her Guardian Raphael, The Archangel who called Healing of God also one of Seraphim, for two of person I know to be idolized like that, I feel little proud.
Guardian is something that only a hero with 5th rank above can call them, they have two shape, Human shaped guardian and animal shaped guardian. And very rare chance, they might just able to call god as their guardian. The one that can call god as their guardian only five person, They called Pentagon Pillar.
“…Yami-sama, Looks like you pretty taking a liking to Silvarin-sama”
Lili say that with cold voice, she always speak in cold voice but this one is especially colder than her usual tone.
“W…Why you say that?”
Surprised by her sudden question, I trying to ask her instead
“…The way you look at her”
While point at TV with her face she said that.
I don’t know what she mean by the way I look at her, just how did seeing it like that?. Well I admit that, Rin is also grown to be beauty girl though .
“It’s not that, I just feel thankful for her because she became friend with Hikari, And also I just surprised seeing that Rin, the girl who always clinging to me five year ago already become splendid person”
She’s really become a great person who’s in just one year of her leadership she can changed this country Law, that harsh law where hero can’t associate with Neutral. So it’s thanks to her I can go to Reinslan openly like this. I actually planning to infiltrate Reinslan after i complete my training but after i meet Rin, I decided to believe her that she can change this country. Just like i believe, she really change that discrimination law.
“Then, what's Silvarin-sama and Hikari-sama about the Immortal whose identity still unknown?”
After a little chit-chat, There's one of person who looks like journalist asking them.
“So they still searching for the Immortal, huh”
I can't help but sigh.
I created my own 10 Immortal Art with help from Metatron and Thanatos , It takes me about nine years and countless deadly training to completely master them all. But because of that, Immortal existence is come to light. Because the saint announce that there's someone who created Immortal Art, and caused huge fuss. Fortunately Asgard can't record creator name without creator consent, so my identity still not revealed.
I was too excited when i created my first Immortal Art and forgot about Asgard that can record any new created Art.
“It’s been nine years ever since the news about Immortal first announced but we still can’t get even a single clue about that Immortal, but we will always try to find him”.
“I just hope whoever he is, He won't use his power in wrong way.”
Rin answered with a little concern from her voice and Hikari agreed while nodding her head.
(Sorry for make you two worried like that)
While saying sorry to them in my heart, I sipped my tea that I already ordered before, and the Lili saying something that I never expected.
“…So, you not love her?”
“BUHHKK…”
I almost spit out my tea but managed to swallow it back.
“W…Why you saying that?”
“...I think Silvarin-sama have affection for you, Yami-sama””
“None”
I answer promptly
“Even if she have affection to me, It must be because she think of me as her brother”
Back then, She always call me Nii-sama and following me.
She stare at me for some time and…
“Then, It’s good though”
Then, in an instants I saw her smiling before going back to her usual expressionless face, Ever since that incident that happen ten years ago, Lili starting to show various expression that I never see in another humanoid.
[By the way,…Yami, Didn’t you say you have nostalgic dream?]
When I still thinking, suddenly Metatron asking me, of course there’s no one who can hear it except me, not even Lili.
(It’s about ten years ago, when I meet you two)
[Is it that nostalgic?, it’s just mere ten years]
Thanatos is as usual can’t understand too much about human…well, I can’t say I’m human though.
[in human world, ten years is considerably long, don’t compare it with our infinite time]
Metatron said that with insulting voice, so Thanatos will get provoked, and right what I though, He really get provoked.
[What’s with that tone, Itsuki! Are you thinking I’m stupid?]
[I’m not thinking, I know]
[BASTAAAAAAAAAARD, I KILL YOU!]
Their insult war is already became daily routine and I already getting used by it, There’s no need for me to told them to stop since I know that deep down they are inseparable friend and rival.
While ignoring those two insult fight, I said to Lili.
“I’m still sleepy, please wake me up when we arrive at Reinslan”
“…As you wish”
With her short reply, I close my eyes and once again fall asleep.
Part 2
Sensing bad premonition, I open my eyes
[Yami,…Did you sense that?]
[Looks like there’s some uninvited guest here]
Metatron and Thanatos also sensing it.
“Lili, Hide yourself!”
I say that with low voice.
“…As you wish”
I think she understand from my serious voice, and make herself invisible without asking anything. Because humanoid is highly valued. There’s some guy who abduct the humanoid to sell them for high price.
“Looks like this function also useful in situation like this”.
I installed her with “Cloak” function that make her can’t be seen, because I hear in Reinslan all humanoid that owned by students is have that function, it’s to make their self invisible when they in school, Humanoid can be installed with new function, but of course it’s not cheap, The more high the ability, the more expensive it’s price. It cost my nine years saving.
I sip my tea that already cold and scan my surrounding, I easily found several Element Bomb on several place on this train.
“Villain,…huh?”
When a Hero who use his ability to doing a crime, They will called Villain. and They will be hunted for bounty, The more dangerous they are the more high their bounty.
[What are you gonna do?, Yami]
Metatron asking me even though he should already know my answer.
(That element bomb is something that created with Hero power, I can easily…)
“DON’T MOVE, OR I BLOW THIS TRAIN!”
Before I can finish my talking, suddenly there’s a man who wear mask that only show his eyes shout while slam the front door of train cabin I using.
“I already place several element bomb in this train, but if you all doing as I say, There’s nothing will happen”
He say that while smirking.
"H...he is Jack Snick, i..i saw his wanted poster before"
One of passenger say that while frightened.
"Hoo, To think even country bumpkin know about me. i also famous, huh? ha ha ha"
He laughing in delight
"That's right! i Jack Snick with 500.000 Dia bounty, if you want to be saved, don't do something funny!"
Everyone there is frightened and doing as he say, Except me
(From every other place, He choose this cabin as his hostage…)
[Rotten luck for rotten human, It’s fitting for him]
When I sighed in my mind, Thanatos also sigh.
I put down my tea, when I try to take care of that guy…suddenly the backdoor from behind me opened with loud sound.
“DON’T MOVE!”
There I saw a girl around 14-15 year old wearing blue security uniform and blue hat, She pointed her blue pistol that created by her power to the Villain.
Even though she pointed her pistol, Her gray round eyes is wavering and her hand that held the pistol is shaking.
[Look’s like this is her first time encountered situation like this]
I nodded at Metatron word, I impressed by her courage to step up against that guy, but if she shaking like that…
“SHUT UP! WANT ME TO BLOW THIS TRAIN!? BRAT!”
He shout at the girl while showing a device that looks like a detonator. From my view point that’s an obvious bluff, there’s no way he will blow this train if he’s still in here as well.
“!!”
But that girl can’t think straight right now, She startled by his obvious bluff and seeing that chance…
“H…HELP!”
He taking an old man who sit helplessly beside him as a hostage, He made red claw by his fingers and point it at old man neck.
“HA…HA…HA, As I though, you just a brat after all”
He’s laughing hard seeing the girl frightened condition.
“P…please don’t kill me now, It’s been nine years since I last saw my granddaughter, You can kill me after I meet her, so please…”
The old man pleading the Villain for mercy, but he just insult him and then laugh
“You think I care?, Neutral trash”
(That jii-chan is also the same as me)
He know all people who board this train is Neutral who want go to Reinslan, When Rin changed the law to allow Neutral to live in Reinslan, There must be many people that want go to Reinslan to meet their family who taken away from them.
(Why did all the one who have power always trampled the one who don’t have?)
I muttering that in my heart, but the frightened girl suddenly shout.
“….sh”
“What did you say, brat?”
“THEY ARE NOT TRASH!”
Everyone there is surprised by that girl shout, Include me.
“T…They are human too, B…But it’s just happen they don’t have power like us”
Even though her voice wavering, she still say that.
“HA…HA…HA, What are you talking about?, There’s no way these trash is same species as me”
He say that while looking to the all passengers here, I insert my middle finger of my left hand to my tea cup silently so he don't notice and prepare to shot the droplet onto him.
(There’s a Hero who become Villain just like that guy, but…)
The droplet is starting to fall, I silently smile.
(There’s also a Hero who accept the Neutral as the same being as them just like that girl)
Then the droplet fall in middle of my finger that already prepared to shot, then…With speed that can’t be seen by eyes , I shot the tea droplet to his neck.
“UGH…!”
He released the hostage and falling to floor while firmly holding his own neck. Even for a Hero, he shouldn’t be able to breath for a while if I hit his neck like that. After all, his pain right now is should be just like when a high-speed stone is hit his neck.
“W…What are you doing to me?
He glared at the girl with bloodshot eyes, but the girl is also shocked by his sudden strange behavior.
“NOW!, IT’S YOUR CHANCE!”
I shout at the girl.
“Y…YES!”
After she hear my shout, she immediately handcuff the Villain who can only struggle in pain with Vic, The handcuff that specially made to seal a hero power.
(Now that should take care of that element bombs as well)
I see all the element bomb that already become nothing more than piece of metal, to make element bomb, a Hero need to inject his power to certain thing. It's pretty hard since you need to inject it with perfect timing, if not, it will be exploded right away.
Many of Hero who can do that, sell his element bombs in black market for money, but after it be bought by other people, The authority is goes to the buyers. Only a Hero can activated element bomb, so if his power get sealed, then that element bomb will automatically defused.
After she handcuffed him, all the passengers roared and run toward the girl. The old man who become hostage is thanked the girl without stop with tear on his eyes, The girl looks flustered. Even when she making a call, she still blushing to her ear.
“hmm…”
(A hero that was admired by Neutral and A Hero who save Neutral despite her fear)
I smile when saw this rare spectacle.
After for a while, The train stopped at the station, and that villain is walking while dragged by some male security.
“Lili, it’s alright now”
I told Lili to make herself become visible again.
“…Good work, Yami-sama”
She say that while making herself visible
“Did you see it?”
“…No,…I just know it”
Even she can’t see when I do that, she still think that only I can doing it. I’m glad she really trust me.
When I get off from train, I stopped by someone voice.
“PLEASE WAIT!”
When I turning to source of voice, I saw that security girl running toward me.
“What’s wrong?”
I ask her that
She take a few breath from running, and then asking me.
“It’s you, Right?”
“Eh?”
Did she realize what I do!?
“You the one who shouted to me back then, Right?”
That’s make me surprised for a while, I though she can see what I’m doing back then.
“Well,…That’s me though”
Did she angry I shouted at her?
“THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!”
She thanked me while bowing her head
“P…Please raise your head”
I saw people staring at us, Because right now there’s a security who bowing her head to me.
“Ah, Sorry”
She put her hand on her mouth while looking to left and right, Looks like she realize that people looking at her, She starting to blush again.
“Don’t worry about it, but why did you thanked me”
“At that time, if you don’t shout at me, I don't think i can move my body. Because I’m actually a coward and weak, unlike my sister who’s a brave and strong”
She told me that while smiling shyly
“I don’t think you’re a coward, Even though you scared, you still confront that Villain”
I still remember when she slam the door behind me, Even though she can just wait for another security to coming if she want.
“But, When I saw that Villain who have big body, I feel really scared”
She say that while looking down, Depressed.
“But Even then, You not running away”
The door is just behind her, She can just run because that Villain guy don’t have a gun or throw-able object to attack her. Despite that, she still confront him even though she herself is very scared.
“Eh?”
She look at me in amazement, Did what I say is really that shocking?
“Or rather, When he’s holding that Jii-chan as hostage, you shouted at him right?, Not everyone can do that you know”
I really mean that, Normal person will stunned at time like that.
“I…also don’t know why I can do that, But I just don’t like when he insulted that Ojii-chan, He just want to see her granddaughter again. But that person…”
She said that while looking down, She clasp her fist because remembering that scene.
“That’s a courage”
“Eh?”
Now she looking at me, surprised.
“True courage is something that when one say or do what they want by withstand their own fear for someone else sake”
I recite my father favorite word while looking at the sky, He always say that everyday, it’s already became his trademark. And I also like that word.
I look at her again.
“…”
She have a blank face, she don’t even realize when I wave my hand in front of her face.
“Oi…Are you alright?”
After a while She finally respond to my call.
“Y…Yes, I’m alright”
She answering me while panicking, Her face became red instantly.
“OI…HURRY UP!, WE HAVE TO TAKE HIM TO POLICE OFFICE!”
From a few distance, I hear another security call her from her car.
“T…Then, I have to go, Bye!”
Then, She run to her friend or it’s looks like she just running away from me.
“Hey…!”
(Did she think I’m strange person?)
It’s the first time I leave Misas after all, I don’t really know about Reinslan or any other city.
Then, Metatron and Thanatos who stay silent sighed.
[Even clueless is also sin you know]
[You really a natural Lady-Killer]
(Why did you two talk to me like I’m some poisonous insect!?)
Honestly, Why they always tease me like this.
“Ah, T…That’s right!”
Then, I hear her voice again and look at her, She turn to me…
“My name is Rena,…Rena Mystil, Please just call me Rena, If it’s possible,…Can you tell me your name?”
(Mystil?, Where I heard that name before?)
I think I just answer her for now.
“I’m Sekizawa Yami, Nice to meet you”
“Yes, Nice to meet you too, Yami-san”
She say that while smiling, I’m glad, Looks like she didn’t hate me
“Then, See you later, Sekizawa-san. Once again, Thank you very much”
“Yes, Bye, Rena”
She run to her friend’s car, Her shoulder length short pink hair is swayed by the wind as she run.
“…Did you finish your flirting, Yami-sama?”
From behind me, I hear an Icy voice, There’s only one person who I know have that voice
“I’m not flirting!, She just want to thanks me, that’s all”
I say that while turning to face her, She have my bag in her hand
“…Let’s hurry to your dorm”
She ignoring my excuse and starting to walk away.
“Wait!, Let me carry my bag”
“…But…”
I cut her before she can finish her word.
“I can’t let a girl carrying my own bag”
“…But, it’s my duty to…”
“Your duty will come later when we arrive at my dorm, You should be know I suck at cooking”
I say that while laugh.
“…If Yami-sama say so…”
She handed me my bag with little regret, I take it with smile, And we started walk to my dorm.
__________
"Sekizawa...Yami...san"
"In the car that running toward police station, Rena mutter silently.
“True courage is when someone see something he don’t like , And trying to do something about them, even when himself is feeling scared”
Yami word is still lingering in her heart, His face that look lonely when he say that, why his profile when say that word is gripping her heart this much?
“Hey Rena, Is that the name of the boy you talking on the station a little while ago?”
Hearing her senior asking about him, Her heart pounded and awake her from her daydream.
“Y...yes, He’s the one who shout at me when i terrified back then, Why did you ask?, Faren-san”
She can’t hide her flustered reaction to her senior who steering the car beside her. Faren is a Housewife who already have two children, She think of Rena as her own daughter too.
“Hee…So he save you
Faren say that with teasing voice.
“W…What?”
“Noothing”
Despite Rena flustered reaction, Faren just smile faintly, not just Faren but also her other senior who sit In the back seat is holding their smile while still not let go their hand on that unconscious Villain.
Even after when they arrive at their destination, Rena still can’t escape her seniors teasing laugh.
Part 1
“What a nostalgic dream”
While muttering that I wipe my eyes and yawn while looking around from my seat.
“…Yawning in front of someone presence is not a good manner, Yami-sama”
“Ups, sorry Lili, I just have nostalgic dream”
The one who sit in front of me is Lili, I call her that since 7171 is hard to call. She’s the one who always beside ever since ten years ago, I already think of her as my own family, and she’s the only one who I told about my true identity.
“It’s been ten years since then, huh…”
To have that dream, maybe it’s because I finally can meet hikari again.
“You also changed after ten years…”
Humanoid is growing as well, They programed to grow to the same appearance as their master. After ten years she grown become a bishoujo with her SLBL (Straight Long Black Hair) and that jewel like silver eyes, also even though it’s not too big but look slender, That chest.
“…You’re eyes looks indecent, Yami-sama”
She covering her chest with her hand while bend her body to the side.
“S...Sorry, inadvertently...”
“…”
She bending her body and use her hand to cover her chest, She look at me with her usual expressionless face but with slight blush on her cheeks. yep, it's cute!
“N…No, it’s just I accidentally looking at them! It’s not that I watch them intentionally!”
Because of her unexpected cuteness, I frantically trying to hide my embarrassment. But she only stare at me with cold eyes.
“…Then,…You think I’m not even charming?”
“nope, that's not true! you're cute!”
I declare it confidently.
“…!!”
Looks like she didn't expect that, she only look down with red face. Humanoid usually don’t care about something like that, All the humanoid I see in Misas never showing any emotion like Lili does, Even when I accidentally grab the their chest, She don’t show any reaction but Lili who at that time beside me, pull my ear strongly without saying anything.

[It’s men instinct, You can’t blame him, you know?]
Metatron scolding me, and Thanatos answering in my stead while laughing.
(It’s not that, I’m just not used seeing her with casual clothes, so…)
I answer them using my mind, since Lili always think I talking to her when I talk to Metatron and Thanatos, I learning to speak with them by only using telepathy.
Right now Lili wearing casual clothes because I ask her that, it will too stand out if she wearing her usual maid uniform, When you looking like this she look like normal girl, Even I notice there’s so many male passenger who steal glance at her and not just once, if not because that choker on her neck everyone will think she just a normal human and starting to flirt with her (of course, only over my dead body first), If I can, I want to remove that choker but I can’t remove it, Because to humanoid that choker serve as their lifeline.
“By the way, How long until we can get to Reinslan?”
I try to change the subject.
“…if we go with this speed I believe we will arrive in one hour, twelve minutes and twenty six second”
She answered with confidence.
“As usual, You really strict with time”
I say that while sighing, She really strict about time, She always doing her work exactly in time, No more no less.
"Look! it's starting!"
I hear a passenger say that while pointing at the TV that installed within this train cabin, every cabin have one TV. Talk about luxury...
When I look at television that installed within this train, I saw familiar face, A blonde haired girl with opal blue eyes and have dignified atmosphere around her, she was the current Queen of Sygrine, she become The Queen one year ago by replacing her father Gregrain Astraea, who’s passed away because he's already too old, Even though she only 14 years old, (that mean two years younger than me) she already acknowledged by the citizens as a capable leader, she is Silvarin Astraea.

“Ah, Silvarin-sama and Hikari-sama, What a divine beauty, I don’t care if I have to die for them”
I look at one of passenger who said that while looking at the TV too.
“It’s not just you, We also feel the same way”
There’s other passenger who also said that, along with more other passenger nodding their head while saying, Yes…Yes.
It can’t be helped if they think like that, Because these two is look so stunning that there’s even people who saying even the diamond will lose it’s dazzling if go near them. Those two already inseparable best friend that known as “Two Goddess”, since those two always together anywhere whether in school or public event like this.
“And they strong as well”
I can’t help to muttering too, They not only famous because their beauty but also their standing and their ability to summon High rank Guardian, Rin is not just a 4th rank Hero but also the current Queen of Sygrine and her Guardian, Uriel, The Archangel who called Flame of God and one of Seraphim, And Hikari is a 3rd rank Hero with her healing ability called Heaven Blessing and her Guardian Raphael, The Archangel who called Healing of God also one of Seraphim, for two of person I know to be idolized like that, I feel little proud.
Guardian is something that only a hero with 5th rank above can call them, they have two shape, Human shaped guardian and animal shaped guardian. And very rare chance, they might just able to call god as their guardian. The one that can call god as their guardian only five person, They called Pentagon Pillar.
“…Yami-sama, Looks like you pretty taking a liking to Silvarin-sama”
Lili say that with cold voice, she always speak in cold voice but this one is especially colder than her usual tone.
“W…Why you say that?”
Surprised by her sudden question, I trying to ask her instead
“…The way you look at her”
While point at TV with her face she said that.
I don’t know what she mean by the way I look at her, just how did seeing it like that?. Well I admit that, Rin is also grown to be beauty girl though .
“It’s not that, I just feel thankful for her because she became friend with Hikari, And also I just surprised seeing that Rin, the girl who always clinging to me five year ago already become splendid person”
She’s really become a great person who’s in just one year of her leadership she can changed this country Law, that harsh law where hero can’t associate with Neutral. So it’s thanks to her I can go to Reinslan openly like this. I actually planning to infiltrate Reinslan after i complete my training but after i meet Rin, I decided to believe her that she can change this country. Just like i believe, she really change that discrimination law.
“Then, what's Silvarin-sama and Hikari-sama about the Immortal whose identity still unknown?”
After a little chit-chat, There's one of person who looks like journalist asking them.
“So they still searching for the Immortal, huh”
I can't help but sigh.
I created my own 10 Immortal Art with help from Metatron and Thanatos , It takes me about nine years and countless deadly training to completely master them all. But because of that, Immortal existence is come to light. Because the saint announce that there's someone who created Immortal Art, and caused huge fuss. Fortunately Asgard can't record creator name without creator consent, so my identity still not revealed.
I was too excited when i created my first Immortal Art and forgot about Asgard that can record any new created Art.
“It’s been nine years ever since the news about Immortal first announced but we still can’t get even a single clue about that Immortal, but we will always try to find him”.
“I just hope whoever he is, He won't use his power in wrong way.”
Rin answered with a little concern from her voice and Hikari agreed while nodding her head.
(Sorry for make you two worried like that)
While saying sorry to them in my heart, I sipped my tea that I already ordered before, and the Lili saying something that I never expected.
“…So, you not love her?”
“BUHHKK…”
I almost spit out my tea but managed to swallow it back.
“W…Why you saying that?”
“...I think Silvarin-sama have affection for you, Yami-sama””
“None”
I answer promptly
“Even if she have affection to me, It must be because she think of me as her brother”
Back then, She always call me Nii-sama and following me.
She stare at me for some time and…
“Then, It’s good though”
Then, in an instants I saw her smiling before going back to her usual expressionless face, Ever since that incident that happen ten years ago, Lili starting to show various expression that I never see in another humanoid.
[By the way,…Yami, Didn’t you say you have nostalgic dream?]
When I still thinking, suddenly Metatron asking me, of course there’s no one who can hear it except me, not even Lili.
(It’s about ten years ago, when I meet you two)
[Is it that nostalgic?, it’s just mere ten years]
Thanatos is as usual can’t understand too much about human…well, I can’t say I’m human though.
[in human world, ten years is considerably long, don’t compare it with our infinite time]
Metatron said that with insulting voice, so Thanatos will get provoked, and right what I though, He really get provoked.
[What’s with that tone, Itsuki! Are you thinking I’m stupid?]
[I’m not thinking, I know]
[BASTAAAAAAAAAARD, I KILL YOU!]
Their insult war is already became daily routine and I already getting used by it, There’s no need for me to told them to stop since I know that deep down they are inseparable friend and rival.
While ignoring those two insult fight, I said to Lili.
“I’m still sleepy, please wake me up when we arrive at Reinslan”
“…As you wish”
With her short reply, I close my eyes and once again fall asleep.
Part 2
Sensing bad premonition, I open my eyes
[Yami,…Did you sense that?]
[Looks like there’s some uninvited guest here]
Metatron and Thanatos also sensing it.
“Lili, Hide yourself!”
I say that with low voice.
“…As you wish”
I think she understand from my serious voice, and make herself invisible without asking anything. Because humanoid is highly valued. There’s some guy who abduct the humanoid to sell them for high price.
“Looks like this function also useful in situation like this”.
I installed her with “Cloak” function that make her can’t be seen, because I hear in Reinslan all humanoid that owned by students is have that function, it’s to make their self invisible when they in school, Humanoid can be installed with new function, but of course it’s not cheap, The more high the ability, the more expensive it’s price. It cost my nine years saving.
I sip my tea that already cold and scan my surrounding, I easily found several Element Bomb on several place on this train.
“Villain,…huh?”
When a Hero who use his ability to doing a crime, They will called Villain. and They will be hunted for bounty, The more dangerous they are the more high their bounty.
[What are you gonna do?, Yami]
Metatron asking me even though he should already know my answer.
(That element bomb is something that created with Hero power, I can easily…)
“DON’T MOVE, OR I BLOW THIS TRAIN!”
Before I can finish my talking, suddenly there’s a man who wear mask that only show his eyes shout while slam the front door of train cabin I using.
“I already place several element bomb in this train, but if you all doing as I say, There’s nothing will happen”
He say that while smirking.
"H...he is Jack Snick, i..i saw his wanted poster before"
One of passenger say that while frightened.
"Hoo, To think even country bumpkin know about me. i also famous, huh? ha ha ha"
He laughing in delight
"That's right! i Jack Snick with 500.000 Dia bounty, if you want to be saved, don't do something funny!"
Everyone there is frightened and doing as he say, Except me
(From every other place, He choose this cabin as his hostage…)
[Rotten luck for rotten human, It’s fitting for him]
When I sighed in my mind, Thanatos also sigh.
I put down my tea, when I try to take care of that guy…suddenly the backdoor from behind me opened with loud sound.
“DON’T MOVE!”
There I saw a girl around 14-15 year old wearing blue security uniform and blue hat, She pointed her blue pistol that created by her power to the Villain.
Even though she pointed her pistol, Her gray round eyes is wavering and her hand that held the pistol is shaking.
[Look’s like this is her first time encountered situation like this]
I nodded at Metatron word, I impressed by her courage to step up against that guy, but if she shaking like that…
“SHUT UP! WANT ME TO BLOW THIS TRAIN!? BRAT!”
He shout at the girl while showing a device that looks like a detonator. From my view point that’s an obvious bluff, there’s no way he will blow this train if he’s still in here as well.
“!!”
But that girl can’t think straight right now, She startled by his obvious bluff and seeing that chance…
“H…HELP!”
He taking an old man who sit helplessly beside him as a hostage, He made red claw by his fingers and point it at old man neck.
“HA…HA…HA, As I though, you just a brat after all”
He’s laughing hard seeing the girl frightened condition.
“P…please don’t kill me now, It’s been nine years since I last saw my granddaughter, You can kill me after I meet her, so please…”
The old man pleading the Villain for mercy, but he just insult him and then laugh
“You think I care?, Neutral trash”
(That jii-chan is also the same as me)
He know all people who board this train is Neutral who want go to Reinslan, When Rin changed the law to allow Neutral to live in Reinslan, There must be many people that want go to Reinslan to meet their family who taken away from them.
(Why did all the one who have power always trampled the one who don’t have?)
I muttering that in my heart, but the frightened girl suddenly shout.
“….sh”
“What did you say, brat?”
“THEY ARE NOT TRASH!”
Everyone there is surprised by that girl shout, Include me.
“T…They are human too, B…But it’s just happen they don’t have power like us”
Even though her voice wavering, she still say that.
“HA…HA…HA, What are you talking about?, There’s no way these trash is same species as me”
He say that while looking to the all passengers here, I insert my middle finger of my left hand to my tea cup silently so he don't notice and prepare to shot the droplet onto him.
(There’s a Hero who become Villain just like that guy, but…)
The droplet is starting to fall, I silently smile.
(There’s also a Hero who accept the Neutral as the same being as them just like that girl)
Then the droplet fall in middle of my finger that already prepared to shot, then…With speed that can’t be seen by eyes , I shot the tea droplet to his neck.
“UGH…!”
He released the hostage and falling to floor while firmly holding his own neck. Even for a Hero, he shouldn’t be able to breath for a while if I hit his neck like that. After all, his pain right now is should be just like when a high-speed stone is hit his neck.
“W…What are you doing to me?
He glared at the girl with bloodshot eyes, but the girl is also shocked by his sudden strange behavior.
“NOW!, IT’S YOUR CHANCE!”
I shout at the girl.
“Y…YES!”
After she hear my shout, she immediately handcuff the Villain who can only struggle in pain with Vic, The handcuff that specially made to seal a hero power.
(Now that should take care of that element bombs as well)
I see all the element bomb that already become nothing more than piece of metal, to make element bomb, a Hero need to inject his power to certain thing. It's pretty hard since you need to inject it with perfect timing, if not, it will be exploded right away.
Many of Hero who can do that, sell his element bombs in black market for money, but after it be bought by other people, The authority is goes to the buyers. Only a Hero can activated element bomb, so if his power get sealed, then that element bomb will automatically defused.
After she handcuffed him, all the passengers roared and run toward the girl. The old man who become hostage is thanked the girl without stop with tear on his eyes, The girl looks flustered. Even when she making a call, she still blushing to her ear.
“hmm…”
(A hero that was admired by Neutral and A Hero who save Neutral despite her fear)
I smile when saw this rare spectacle.
After for a while, The train stopped at the station, and that villain is walking while dragged by some male security.
“Lili, it’s alright now”
I told Lili to make herself become visible again.
“…Good work, Yami-sama”
She say that while making herself visible
“Did you see it?”
“…No,…I just know it”
Even she can’t see when I do that, she still think that only I can doing it. I’m glad she really trust me.
When I get off from train, I stopped by someone voice.
“PLEASE WAIT!”
When I turning to source of voice, I saw that security girl running toward me.
“What’s wrong?”
I ask her that
She take a few breath from running, and then asking me.
“It’s you, Right?”
“Eh?”
Did she realize what I do!?
“You the one who shouted to me back then, Right?”
That’s make me surprised for a while, I though she can see what I’m doing back then.
“Well,…That’s me though”
Did she angry I shouted at her?
“THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!”
She thanked me while bowing her head
“P…Please raise your head”
I saw people staring at us, Because right now there’s a security who bowing her head to me.
“Ah, Sorry”
She put her hand on her mouth while looking to left and right, Looks like she realize that people looking at her, She starting to blush again.
“Don’t worry about it, but why did you thanked me”
“At that time, if you don’t shout at me, I don't think i can move my body. Because I’m actually a coward and weak, unlike my sister who’s a brave and strong”
She told me that while smiling shyly
“I don’t think you’re a coward, Even though you scared, you still confront that Villain”
I still remember when she slam the door behind me, Even though she can just wait for another security to coming if she want.
“But, When I saw that Villain who have big body, I feel really scared”
She say that while looking down, Depressed.
“But Even then, You not running away”
The door is just behind her, She can just run because that Villain guy don’t have a gun or throw-able object to attack her. Despite that, she still confront him even though she herself is very scared.
“Eh?”
She look at me in amazement, Did what I say is really that shocking?
“Or rather, When he’s holding that Jii-chan as hostage, you shouted at him right?, Not everyone can do that you know”
I really mean that, Normal person will stunned at time like that.
“I…also don’t know why I can do that, But I just don’t like when he insulted that Ojii-chan, He just want to see her granddaughter again. But that person…”
She said that while looking down, She clasp her fist because remembering that scene.
“That’s a courage”
“Eh?”
Now she looking at me, surprised.
“True courage is something that when one say or do what they want by withstand their own fear for someone else sake”
I recite my father favorite word while looking at the sky, He always say that everyday, it’s already became his trademark. And I also like that word.
I look at her again.
“…”
She have a blank face, she don’t even realize when I wave my hand in front of her face.
“Oi…Are you alright?”
After a while She finally respond to my call.
“Y…Yes, I’m alright”
She answering me while panicking, Her face became red instantly.
“OI…HURRY UP!, WE HAVE TO TAKE HIM TO POLICE OFFICE!”
From a few distance, I hear another security call her from her car.
“T…Then, I have to go, Bye!”
Then, She run to her friend or it’s looks like she just running away from me.
“Hey…!”
(Did she think I’m strange person?)
It’s the first time I leave Misas after all, I don’t really know about Reinslan or any other city.
Then, Metatron and Thanatos who stay silent sighed.
[Even clueless is also sin you know]
[You really a natural Lady-Killer]
(Why did you two talk to me like I’m some poisonous insect!?)
Honestly, Why they always tease me like this.
“Ah, T…That’s right!”
Then, I hear her voice again and look at her, She turn to me…
“My name is Rena,…Rena Mystil, Please just call me Rena, If it’s possible,…Can you tell me your name?”
(Mystil?, Where I heard that name before?)
I think I just answer her for now.
“I’m Sekizawa Yami, Nice to meet you”
“Yes, Nice to meet you too, Yami-san”
She say that while smiling, I’m glad, Looks like she didn’t hate me
“Then, See you later, Sekizawa-san. Once again, Thank you very much”
“Yes, Bye, Rena”
She run to her friend’s car, Her shoulder length short pink hair is swayed by the wind as she run.
“…Did you finish your flirting, Yami-sama?”
From behind me, I hear an Icy voice, There’s only one person who I know have that voice
“I’m not flirting!, She just want to thanks me, that’s all”
I say that while turning to face her, She have my bag in her hand
“…Let’s hurry to your dorm”
She ignoring my excuse and starting to walk away.
“Wait!, Let me carry my bag”
“…But…”
I cut her before she can finish her word.
“I can’t let a girl carrying my own bag”
“…But, it’s my duty to…”
“Your duty will come later when we arrive at my dorm, You should be know I suck at cooking”
I say that while laugh.
“…If Yami-sama say so…”
She handed me my bag with little regret, I take it with smile, And we started walk to my dorm.
__________
"Sekizawa...Yami...san"
"In the car that running toward police station, Rena mutter silently.
“True courage is when someone see something he don’t like , And trying to do something about them, even when himself is feeling scared”
Yami word is still lingering in her heart, His face that look lonely when he say that, why his profile when say that word is gripping her heart this much?
“Hey Rena, Is that the name of the boy you talking on the station a little while ago?”
Hearing her senior asking about him, Her heart pounded and awake her from her daydream.
“Y...yes, He’s the one who shout at me when i terrified back then, Why did you ask?, Faren-san”
She can’t hide her flustered reaction to her senior who steering the car beside her. Faren is a Housewife who already have two children, She think of Rena as her own daughter too.
“Hee…So he save you
Faren say that with teasing voice.
“W…What?”
“Noothing”
Despite Rena flustered reaction, Faren just smile faintly, not just Faren but also her other senior who sit In the back seat is holding their smile while still not let go their hand on that unconscious Villain.
Even after when they arrive at their destination, Rena still can’t escape her seniors teasing laugh.
Spoiler! :
Chapter 4 : Call & Anxiety
Part 1
“Finally arrived”
After walking for a while I arrived at my room, When I arrived, it’s already noon outside.
This dorm is only for Metaria School Students. Neutral, Unnatural, or Hero live here together.
Metaria school, That’s the name of my school that I will attend from now on. It’s have the most latest education and equipment, At first only Hero can study there, But Everyone can study there after Rin’s persuasion.
I throw my bag then myself on the bed, I can behave like this because every room in this dorm is only one person except for some people. I look at my surroundings, This room is have everything except kitchen.
“It’s pretty wide for only one person, There’s even TV and air conditioner here”
And most of all, It’s free. That’s why this dorm is so popular among people without much money.
“…Yami-sama, There’s a call for you”
I hear Lili voice behind me, Her eyes is glowing, That mean she receives a signal for a call.
(I wonder who? No one here should be know I come here today…)
Humanoid user can call each other if they knew the number of humanoid they want to call and they must be in same wavelength, each city have different wavelength so that’s why I can’t call Rin while I still in Misas.
I get up from bed and stand in front of Lili.
“Connect it”
Then in middle of me and Lili, there’s hologram square box appear.
“AH!!, It…It’s connected!!”
From there I saw excited beautiful face of blonde haired girl, Yes…she is Rin, The queen of this country.
“Nii-sama, It’s been a long time. Finally I can see you again”
Her voice is different from what I hear when she talking so politely in the TV, it’s like just voice of a sweet girl. There's a little tear in her eyes.
“Yes, it’s been a long time, Rin or should I call Silvarin-sama”
I tease her a bit because it’s been a long time since I last speak to her and also to make her relax a little. She looks too nervous.
“Muu…Nii-sama! Didn’t I tell you to just call me Rin?”
She pouted and then wipe her eyes, it’s a face that she never show on TV.
“To call a queen with nickname will be rude, right?. What other people gonna say if they hear it”
Seeing her face right now, make me want to tease her more and more.
“It’s alright if it’s Nii-sama! Just call me Rin! I don’t care what other people think”
She told me that while pouting her cheek, I just smirk, looks like her attitude when not not in queen mode don’t change too much like I though.
“Okay…Okay, It’s been a while, Rin”
Hearing I call her that, she smile satisfied.
“Yes, I’m glad to see you again, Nii-sama”
“How did you know I come to Reinslan?”
“Actually, I don’t know if Nii-sama would come here today”
That’s pretty surprising, coincidence can became scary sometimes.
“Then, is it just coincidence? If so, you pretty amazing”
But Rin only smiled and shake her head.
“It’s not coincidence, Nii-sama…”
Before she can finish her word, Someone open the door behind her.
“Rin, Did you know where hair dr..!!!”
It’s the face that I can only see at TV before standing on the other side of my screen call, yes, it’s Hikari, My little sister.
Hikari stunned when she look at me.
“ONII-CHAN!!”
She rushed toward me, and looking at me with almost cry expression.
I glad she can recognize me on the first glance even though she’s not like me who can at least see her on the TV.
“Yo, Hikari”
Now I can finally see how much she grown up.
“Onii-chan, Finally we can see each other again, I always waiting for this day!”
She said that to me while still don’t understand her situation.
“U…Umm, Hikari”
Behind Hikari, I hear Rin whispered voice.
“Ah, Sorry Rin, It’s rude of me to just butt in your conversation, It’s been a long time since I saw Onii-chan, so…”
Hikari looks sorry to Rin, She still don’t understand which one the problem is. In my case, I use this chance to check her every grown part.
(it's older brother job to check his little sister grown)
[Correct!!]
[But Thanatos, you not!]
[What are you doing!? release me!!]
Thanatos is struggling because Metatron holding him down to floor.
(Sorry Thanatos)
I just watch him in silence. Then i look at screen again and saw Rin trying to tell Hikari about something.
“Don’t worry about it, I understand about how your feeling to meet again with him in the first time ever since long time, but…”
Rin halted, she wondering how to tell her, but she decided to...
“How about if you…wear clothes first?”
Tell her gently
“!”
Hikari look at herself who’s only wearing bath towel around her chest and thigh, Her silver hair is still wet from the water.
“…”
And she look at me.
“I glad my little sister grown up this much!”
I raise my thumb up while smiling radiantly.
“KYAAAAAAA!!”
Her scream echoed even in my room, I just hope that nobody hear that or there’s gonna big misunderstanding here.
She immediately disappear from screen.
“ara…ara...”
There’s only Rin on the screen now, She make sorry face to Hikari while scratching her cheek lightly.
“Well then Nii-sama, Let’s continue our talk while waiting for Hikari to wear clothes”
“Where we are?...That’s right about Nii-sama that think this call is just coincidence…”
She stopped and her face blushed, Then she close her eyes and inhale deeply.
“It’s not coincidence, because…ever since five years ago I always make a call for you every single day”
Her cheeks become even redder.
“Eh?”
I can’t imagine there’s someone who can do that without get bored.
“Nii-sama already promised to go to Reinslan someday, Waiting for Nii-sama to come here is a joy for me….kya!”
She became embarrassed by her own line, of course I also taken aback.
“Rin…”
[what a dedication! How fortunate of you, Yami]
[To be loved by girl to this extend, you should be in joy right?]
Looks like finally Metaron released Thanatos.
(Shut up!)
I can feel both of them is smirking at me, even though you two always fighting, why just in time like this you two in unison.
““…..””
And I feel two cold stares, one is from Lili in front of me, And another one from my long time no see little sister that already change clothes behind blushing Rin on another side of screen.
“Ehem!...Onii-chan!…”
Hikari make obvious pretend cough, Then she call me with cramp smile.
“Just…what did you do to Rin to make her like this?”
She pointed at Rin that placing both of her hands to her cheeks with daydreaming expression.
“I don’t remember doing anything special though”
I honestly don’t know but Metatron and Thanatos sighing in unison.
[He can fast learning anything we teach to him, but why just in this kind of problem he’s so thick-headed]
[Ever since that event where he can make the expressionless jou-chan smiling for the first time, I already know that this brat will become like this].
Sorry for being born with this personality, I starting to get depressed because looks like in my personality there’s something I don’t know. Also I don’t know why but Thanatos always call Lili with jou-chan.
“Why not ask her yourself?”
“She won’t tell me no matter I ask her, so Onii-chan is the only one I can to ask”
I look at Rin, She still in daydreaming state. I decided to just ask her.
“Rin, Did I ever doing something special to you?”
She finally come back after I call her.
“Nii-sama, I can’t tell you….To reveal it from my mouth is more embarrassing than stark naked in front of you”
Rin say that while hide her full red face with both of her hands.
“Stark…”
“…Naked”
“Just what did you do, Onii-chan!!”
“…Answer, Yami-sama”
“I TOLD YOU I KNOW NOTHING!!!”
This should be heart-warming reunion, how did this turning into Interrogation for me.
PART 2
“Let’s leave that for later, It’s been a long time Onii-chan”
I hope you not gonna bring it again though.
“Yep, I’m glad to see you so energetic”
We both smile. It's been a long time eer since we can talking like this after all, even though it still through screen.
“Ever since I leave Misas, I always get lonely easily and I spend everyday just to crying but at that time there’s Bluestar couple is so kind toward me, they treated just like I was their own daughter.”
Sirius Bluestar, even though he’s the captain at that time and receive great hatred from almost all Misas citizens, But after I watch video recording that he left me at that time until finished, I was thankful to him. Even though I only saw him though that recording, I know his words is sincere and he won’t harm Hikari.
“Where they are right now, I want to thank them too”
Hikari’s expression slightly distorted.
“…They passed away three years ago by accident”
“…..I’m sorry”
Hikari, so she’s experience losing her parents for the second time.
“no, don’t worry”
Hikari shake her head.
“Of course I feel so sad that I cry on that day, but at that time I glad I can meet Rin”
Hikari told me while glancing at Rin.
“Bluestar family already serve Astraea family for generations, Especially Sirius-sama is tou-sama close friend, when we hear that they have accident, even my stiff father that always attend the meeting no matter how sick he is, Just at that time he cancel all meeting on that day even though there’s important meeting that he should attend no matter what”
Rin display lonely smile. She must be miss her father too
“After their funeral end, my father told me that I will have a sister, The child that was adopted by Sirius-sama will be adopted by father and become my sister. I was so happy because I always want a sibling that can play with me, And I don’t know if t was coincidence or fate, That girl is nii-sama’s little sister that nii-sama told me about.”
“I see, so that’s how you two meet, I was surprised when I see you two together as sibling in TV”
Because it’s they suddenly announced that they sibling without much explanation, even i surprised.
“Onii-chan…”
“Hm, what’s wrong?”
Hikari want to tell me something but she looks hesitant for a while. Then Rin tap her shoulder and nod her head, Hikari also nod her head and then she stare at me while her eyes is wavering a little.
“The thing about I changing my surname, Did you angry?”
When she first appear on TV she announced her name Hikari Bluestar instead Sekizawa Hikari. At first I was confused why she changed her name when she introduce herself on TV for the first time but I know she should have her reason so I don’t mind too much. It’s just name after all.
And after I hear what actually happened a little while ago, I think it’s natural for her to change her name to her savior.
“Why must I angry?”
I ask her while tilted my head.
“Eh!?”
She taken aback for a while, then…
“B..Because, I…I betray onii-chan, even though onii-chan still using “Sekizawa” I just change my name just because of my feeling, so even if onii-chan hate me, I…”
She say that with high voice, looks like she think by changing her name is same as she betray me and wish to be punished.
“Don’t torment yourself, Hikari!”
“Eh?”
I cut off her word before she can finish it.
Looks like changing her name is really have big impact for her, and she started to think unnecessary things.
“You betray no one”
(You really don’t change, huh, that kindness of yours)
I smile happily because my sister still this innocent.
“But…”
I close my eyes while remembering my past memory with Hikari
“No matter how much you change, let alone something just like a name…”
I open my eyes and look straight at her eyes that already wet by tears.
“You are my cute little sister, that fact alone will never change”.
I can confidently declare this.
“Onii…chan”
Finally, her tears is break out.
“onii-chan…i…was so scared…I always….think…what I should do…if you…hate me…but…how can…you just….Onii-chan…you…too…really…don’t change…”
Hikar’s voice is mix with cry, she hide her crying eyes with her both of her hand. If i close to her i would embrace her right now.
Behind her, Rin hugging Hikari, she also crying while said
“Good for you, Hikari”
To be that worried just because of name, you really a gentle girl.
“For now, you need get a rest first”
“Well then, bye…”
When I try to cut the video call, Hikari stopped me.
“Wait, onii-chan, I still want to talk to you. There’s so much I want to talk to you about”
Did she feel relieved that I don’t mind that much about her name?, she act just like back then where she always stick to me wherever I went.
“For now, it’s enough…”
“But”
“We can talk tomorrow, also face to face, That will be more convenient than talking like this, right?”
“Eh? What do you mean?”
“Nii-sama, are you will come to my house tomorrow?, If so I need…”
“No, in School”
“”Eeeh!?””
Their reaction is strange.
“Did I still not told you two? From tomorrow I also will attend Metaria School”
“”WE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THAT!””
“is that so?, sorry, because talking with you two, I forgot to told you about that”
Now that I think about, I never touch subject about school when talking to them. Maybe it’s because I think they already know about it. Looks like they think I only came here to meet Hikari.
“Onii-chan is Bully, after this kind of thing happened, what face should I use to meet you tomorrow!!”
“Just use that face, it’s cute.”
“W…w…what are you saying on this timing!?”
Her face is beef red just like lobster.
It’s been a long time since I tease her like this. She always make interesting face when I tease her so teasing her is just like my habit.
“Well then, Good night, Rin, Hikari”
“Good night, nii-sama”
“Night, stupid onii-chan”
Rin bow while laughing fu..fu and red face Hikari call me stupid.
The screen disappear.
“hm, where are you going, Lili?”
Just a moment after the screen disappear, Lili approach my bed and take my bag and then…
“DUG!!!”
Throw it at me…straight at my face. Despite her looking, She pretty strong. I was throwed at wall along with my bag.
“…Idiot”
“W…why?”
[She’s jealous]
[She’s jealous, alright]
I who don’t understand anything can only lie down while waiting Lili prepare the dinner that was only a cup ramen.
Part 1
“Finally arrived”
After walking for a while I arrived at my room, When I arrived, it’s already noon outside.
This dorm is only for Metaria School Students. Neutral, Unnatural, or Hero live here together.
Metaria school, That’s the name of my school that I will attend from now on. It’s have the most latest education and equipment, At first only Hero can study there, But Everyone can study there after Rin’s persuasion.
I throw my bag then myself on the bed, I can behave like this because every room in this dorm is only one person except for some people. I look at my surroundings, This room is have everything except kitchen.
“It’s pretty wide for only one person, There’s even TV and air conditioner here”
And most of all, It’s free. That’s why this dorm is so popular among people without much money.
“…Yami-sama, There’s a call for you”
I hear Lili voice behind me, Her eyes is glowing, That mean she receives a signal for a call.
(I wonder who? No one here should be know I come here today…)
Humanoid user can call each other if they knew the number of humanoid they want to call and they must be in same wavelength, each city have different wavelength so that’s why I can’t call Rin while I still in Misas.
I get up from bed and stand in front of Lili.
“Connect it”
Then in middle of me and Lili, there’s hologram square box appear.
“AH!!, It…It’s connected!!”
From there I saw excited beautiful face of blonde haired girl, Yes…she is Rin, The queen of this country.
“Nii-sama, It’s been a long time. Finally I can see you again”
Her voice is different from what I hear when she talking so politely in the TV, it’s like just voice of a sweet girl. There's a little tear in her eyes.
“Yes, it’s been a long time, Rin or should I call Silvarin-sama”
I tease her a bit because it’s been a long time since I last speak to her and also to make her relax a little. She looks too nervous.
“Muu…Nii-sama! Didn’t I tell you to just call me Rin?”
She pouted and then wipe her eyes, it’s a face that she never show on TV.
“To call a queen with nickname will be rude, right?. What other people gonna say if they hear it”
Seeing her face right now, make me want to tease her more and more.
“It’s alright if it’s Nii-sama! Just call me Rin! I don’t care what other people think”
She told me that while pouting her cheek, I just smirk, looks like her attitude when not not in queen mode don’t change too much like I though.
“Okay…Okay, It’s been a while, Rin”
Hearing I call her that, she smile satisfied.
“Yes, I’m glad to see you again, Nii-sama”
“How did you know I come to Reinslan?”
“Actually, I don’t know if Nii-sama would come here today”
That’s pretty surprising, coincidence can became scary sometimes.
“Then, is it just coincidence? If so, you pretty amazing”
But Rin only smiled and shake her head.
“It’s not coincidence, Nii-sama…”
Before she can finish her word, Someone open the door behind her.
“Rin, Did you know where hair dr..!!!”
It’s the face that I can only see at TV before standing on the other side of my screen call, yes, it’s Hikari, My little sister.
Hikari stunned when she look at me.
“ONII-CHAN!!”
She rushed toward me, and looking at me with almost cry expression.
I glad she can recognize me on the first glance even though she’s not like me who can at least see her on the TV.
“Yo, Hikari”
Now I can finally see how much she grown up.
“Onii-chan, Finally we can see each other again, I always waiting for this day!”
She said that to me while still don’t understand her situation.
“U…Umm, Hikari”
Behind Hikari, I hear Rin whispered voice.
“Ah, Sorry Rin, It’s rude of me to just butt in your conversation, It’s been a long time since I saw Onii-chan, so…”
Hikari looks sorry to Rin, She still don’t understand which one the problem is. In my case, I use this chance to check her every grown part.
(it's older brother job to check his little sister grown)
[Correct!!]
[But Thanatos, you not!]
[What are you doing!? release me!!]
Thanatos is struggling because Metatron holding him down to floor.
(Sorry Thanatos)
I just watch him in silence. Then i look at screen again and saw Rin trying to tell Hikari about something.
“Don’t worry about it, I understand about how your feeling to meet again with him in the first time ever since long time, but…”
Rin halted, she wondering how to tell her, but she decided to...
“How about if you…wear clothes first?”
Tell her gently
“!”
Hikari look at herself who’s only wearing bath towel around her chest and thigh, Her silver hair is still wet from the water.
“…”
And she look at me.
“I glad my little sister grown up this much!”
I raise my thumb up while smiling radiantly.
“KYAAAAAAA!!”
Her scream echoed even in my room, I just hope that nobody hear that or there’s gonna big misunderstanding here.
She immediately disappear from screen.
“ara…ara...”
There’s only Rin on the screen now, She make sorry face to Hikari while scratching her cheek lightly.
“Well then Nii-sama, Let’s continue our talk while waiting for Hikari to wear clothes”
“Where we are?...That’s right about Nii-sama that think this call is just coincidence…”
She stopped and her face blushed, Then she close her eyes and inhale deeply.
“It’s not coincidence, because…ever since five years ago I always make a call for you every single day”
Her cheeks become even redder.
“Eh?”
I can’t imagine there’s someone who can do that without get bored.
“Nii-sama already promised to go to Reinslan someday, Waiting for Nii-sama to come here is a joy for me….kya!”
She became embarrassed by her own line, of course I also taken aback.
“Rin…”
[what a dedication! How fortunate of you, Yami]
[To be loved by girl to this extend, you should be in joy right?]
Looks like finally Metaron released Thanatos.
(Shut up!)
I can feel both of them is smirking at me, even though you two always fighting, why just in time like this you two in unison.
““…..””
And I feel two cold stares, one is from Lili in front of me, And another one from my long time no see little sister that already change clothes behind blushing Rin on another side of screen.
“Ehem!...Onii-chan!…”
Hikari make obvious pretend cough, Then she call me with cramp smile.
“Just…what did you do to Rin to make her like this?”
She pointed at Rin that placing both of her hands to her cheeks with daydreaming expression.
“I don’t remember doing anything special though”
I honestly don’t know but Metatron and Thanatos sighing in unison.
[He can fast learning anything we teach to him, but why just in this kind of problem he’s so thick-headed]
[Ever since that event where he can make the expressionless jou-chan smiling for the first time, I already know that this brat will become like this].
Sorry for being born with this personality, I starting to get depressed because looks like in my personality there’s something I don’t know. Also I don’t know why but Thanatos always call Lili with jou-chan.
“Why not ask her yourself?”
“She won’t tell me no matter I ask her, so Onii-chan is the only one I can to ask”
I look at Rin, She still in daydreaming state. I decided to just ask her.
“Rin, Did I ever doing something special to you?”
She finally come back after I call her.
“Nii-sama, I can’t tell you….To reveal it from my mouth is more embarrassing than stark naked in front of you”
Rin say that while hide her full red face with both of her hands.
“Stark…”
“…Naked”
“Just what did you do, Onii-chan!!”
“…Answer, Yami-sama”
“I TOLD YOU I KNOW NOTHING!!!”
This should be heart-warming reunion, how did this turning into Interrogation for me.
PART 2
“Let’s leave that for later, It’s been a long time Onii-chan”
I hope you not gonna bring it again though.
“Yep, I’m glad to see you so energetic”
We both smile. It's been a long time eer since we can talking like this after all, even though it still through screen.
“Ever since I leave Misas, I always get lonely easily and I spend everyday just to crying but at that time there’s Bluestar couple is so kind toward me, they treated just like I was their own daughter.”
Sirius Bluestar, even though he’s the captain at that time and receive great hatred from almost all Misas citizens, But after I watch video recording that he left me at that time until finished, I was thankful to him. Even though I only saw him though that recording, I know his words is sincere and he won’t harm Hikari.
“Where they are right now, I want to thank them too”
Hikari’s expression slightly distorted.
“…They passed away three years ago by accident”
“…..I’m sorry”
Hikari, so she’s experience losing her parents for the second time.
“no, don’t worry”
Hikari shake her head.
“Of course I feel so sad that I cry on that day, but at that time I glad I can meet Rin”
Hikari told me while glancing at Rin.
“Bluestar family already serve Astraea family for generations, Especially Sirius-sama is tou-sama close friend, when we hear that they have accident, even my stiff father that always attend the meeting no matter how sick he is, Just at that time he cancel all meeting on that day even though there’s important meeting that he should attend no matter what”
Rin display lonely smile. She must be miss her father too
“After their funeral end, my father told me that I will have a sister, The child that was adopted by Sirius-sama will be adopted by father and become my sister. I was so happy because I always want a sibling that can play with me, And I don’t know if t was coincidence or fate, That girl is nii-sama’s little sister that nii-sama told me about.”
“I see, so that’s how you two meet, I was surprised when I see you two together as sibling in TV”
Because it’s they suddenly announced that they sibling without much explanation, even i surprised.
“Onii-chan…”
“Hm, what’s wrong?”
Hikari want to tell me something but she looks hesitant for a while. Then Rin tap her shoulder and nod her head, Hikari also nod her head and then she stare at me while her eyes is wavering a little.
“The thing about I changing my surname, Did you angry?”
When she first appear on TV she announced her name Hikari Bluestar instead Sekizawa Hikari. At first I was confused why she changed her name when she introduce herself on TV for the first time but I know she should have her reason so I don’t mind too much. It’s just name after all.
And after I hear what actually happened a little while ago, I think it’s natural for her to change her name to her savior.
“Why must I angry?”
I ask her while tilted my head.
“Eh!?”
She taken aback for a while, then…
“B..Because, I…I betray onii-chan, even though onii-chan still using “Sekizawa” I just change my name just because of my feeling, so even if onii-chan hate me, I…”
She say that with high voice, looks like she think by changing her name is same as she betray me and wish to be punished.
“Don’t torment yourself, Hikari!”
“Eh?”
I cut off her word before she can finish it.
Looks like changing her name is really have big impact for her, and she started to think unnecessary things.
“You betray no one”
(You really don’t change, huh, that kindness of yours)
I smile happily because my sister still this innocent.
“But…”
I close my eyes while remembering my past memory with Hikari
“No matter how much you change, let alone something just like a name…”
I open my eyes and look straight at her eyes that already wet by tears.
“You are my cute little sister, that fact alone will never change”.
I can confidently declare this.
“Onii…chan”
Finally, her tears is break out.
“onii-chan…i…was so scared…I always….think…what I should do…if you…hate me…but…how can…you just….Onii-chan…you…too…really…don’t change…”
Hikar’s voice is mix with cry, she hide her crying eyes with her both of her hand. If i close to her i would embrace her right now.
Behind her, Rin hugging Hikari, she also crying while said
“Good for you, Hikari”
To be that worried just because of name, you really a gentle girl.
“For now, you need get a rest first”
“Well then, bye…”
When I try to cut the video call, Hikari stopped me.
“Wait, onii-chan, I still want to talk to you. There’s so much I want to talk to you about”
Did she feel relieved that I don’t mind that much about her name?, she act just like back then where she always stick to me wherever I went.
“For now, it’s enough…”
“But”
“We can talk tomorrow, also face to face, That will be more convenient than talking like this, right?”
“Eh? What do you mean?”
“Nii-sama, are you will come to my house tomorrow?, If so I need…”
“No, in School”
“”Eeeh!?””
Their reaction is strange.
“Did I still not told you two? From tomorrow I also will attend Metaria School”
“”WE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THAT!””
“is that so?, sorry, because talking with you two, I forgot to told you about that”
Now that I think about, I never touch subject about school when talking to them. Maybe it’s because I think they already know about it. Looks like they think I only came here to meet Hikari.
“Onii-chan is Bully, after this kind of thing happened, what face should I use to meet you tomorrow!!”
“Just use that face, it’s cute.”
“W…w…what are you saying on this timing!?”
Her face is beef red just like lobster.
It’s been a long time since I tease her like this. She always make interesting face when I tease her so teasing her is just like my habit.
“Well then, Good night, Rin, Hikari”
“Good night, nii-sama”
“Night, stupid onii-chan”
Rin bow while laughing fu..fu and red face Hikari call me stupid.
The screen disappear.
“hm, where are you going, Lili?”
Just a moment after the screen disappear, Lili approach my bed and take my bag and then…
“DUG!!!”
Throw it at me…straight at my face. Despite her looking, She pretty strong. I was throwed at wall along with my bag.
“…Idiot”
“W…why?”
[She’s jealous]
[She’s jealous, alright]
I who don’t understand anything can only lie down while waiting Lili prepare the dinner that was only a cup ramen.
Spoiler! :
Chapter 5 : Strong yet Fragile
PART 1
I go out from my room, heading to dining room for extra food because what dinner (cup ramen) Lili prepare isn’t enough for my poor body.
Fortunately I already saw the map of this dorm, This dorm is shaped like alphabet “H” where the right side for the girls and the left side for the boys. The room that separate boys and girls dorm is Kitchen room and dining room, That is the only room where boys and girls allowed meet within dorm.
[You reap what you sow]
[That’s what you get for make a woman angry]
And these two comment only make the burden of my body even bigger.
I finally arrived at the door that have “Dining Room” written on them. I open the door and see the wide room where boys and girls is buzzing all over, it’s just like hall.
“…Yami-sama, I will bring something for us to eat so please sit down first”.
“Okay, I will find the open seat for us…and please pick a food that can at least stopped my stomach ringing”
She stop moving for a while. and...
“…I try make effort”
“Oi”.
She still in bad mood, just how long this will continue?
I walking to find open seat but almost all seat is occupied.
"Hm, Is this seat open?"
I ask the person that sit beside this seat.
"Sorry, that seat already occupied"
"I see, sorry to bother you"
"it's alright"
I walk again and that situation happen again and again.
“Hmm… There's no open seat...”
When I wondering what to do someone tap my shoulder.
“Yo, Are you in trouble?”
I turn my back and see the one who tap me, he looks same age as me or maybe older. He’s wearing light jacket and brown bandana on his head.
“Well, I just trying to find open seats but every seat is occupied”
“I see, Then…How about eat with us? We have open seat there?
He pointed at the most back seat, there I saw someone waving his hand, looks like his friend.
“Thanks, But I not alone, there’s also my friend, so…”
“Don’t worry about that, we have four open seat, so you can also bring your friend there”.
Reject someone goodwill is something that I can’t do.
“Thanks, then I gonna take your offer”.
“Sweet, ah I forgot to introduce myself, I’m Arthur Santana. Nice to meet you”
“nice to meet you too, I’m Sekizawa Yami”
“From your name, you not from around here, right?”
“Yes, I came from Misas, and only came here today”
“Hee…so you just like me. I also not from this city but from Regu, you have anything want to ask, just ask me. Even though I just came here a week ago but I know most of anything about this school”.
Regu is a small city from continent of west, it’s pretty far from Reinslan
“Let’s just order our food and sit there”
Arthur point at the Dinner counter behind him with his thumb.
Then we hear someone whispering, and not just one.
“Oi, Did you see her?”
“Yes, she’s a real beauty”
“You think she have boyfriend?”
“Fool!, she’s a humanoid, you know?”
“But, it’s the first time I saw Humanoid that pretty.”
“Yeah, but if it like this the “Phyton” will…”
“Phyton, huh?"
Arthur sighing when he hear that name.
“What’s Phyton?”
“Phyton is a group of girls that think they are the most beautiful in Metaria school. They will try recruit pretty girl to join their group, if she refused they will destroy her face.”
“What a brutal girls group”
I was amazed because there’s something like that here.
“It’s bad, Phyton here”
Then I hear the whisper and look at the door that open. A group of girls that have heavy make-up enter proudly just like peacock.
“Where’s that humanoid girl?”
The one who say that is looks like their leader.
“She’s on the counter”
“Alright, let’s go to greet our new companion, girls”
Then they all go to the counter.
“I will also go”
“Don’t, you might get involved if you go there”
I smile wryly to Arthur.
“I think I already involved”
“Huh?”
Leaving confused Arthur, I run toward counter.
[Yami, Did you think…]
(There’s no mistake)
I answer Metatron before he finished asking.
Then I arrived at the counter.
“As I though…”
There I saw Lili that holding a tray of food get surrounded by Phyton girls.
"...Excuse me, i need to go"
Even though she circled, Lili expressionless face still don't change.
“I won’t discriminate you just because you are a humanoid, I love pretty thing.”
The leader of Phyton is walk toward Lili and trying to touch her shoulder. but Lili avoid her by moving sideward.
"...Please refrain from touching me so familiarly,...only Yami-sama can do that"
The leader is shaking a bit.
"Is he your master? let me talk to him, i sure he will give you to me after my persuasion"
She lick her lip.
I walk from onlooker side and stand in middle of Lili and Leader.
"You need anything from me?
"...Yami-sama?"
I hear Lili voice behind me.
"So you her master? I can't feel any Mana from you, Neutral, huh?"
She laugh in mockery.
"I just cut the case, Give her to me and i won't hurt y..."
"I refuse"
I cut her off flatly before she finish talking"
"H...HOW DARE A NEUTRAL TALK TO ME, DIANA DIAMOND 7TH RANK HERO LIKE THAT!!?
She pissed, I think she already pretty pissed when Lili avoid her before.
She emitting yellow aura.
"Diana-sama, if you use your power here..."
oneof phyton member trying to calm her, but...
"SHUT UP! I NEED TO TEACH THIS NEUTRAL HIS PLACE!"
She already to angry to hear her companion voice.
"Oi oi, this is bad, right?"
"Let's get out from here"
The onlooker starting to run.
"TAKE THIS!, NEUTRAL!!"
She thrust her fist that covered with yellow aura toward me, but i just stand there, because...
“Eh?”
I have reliable partner beside me.
The leader of the phyton shocked, not only the leader, everyone in this room is shocked, the member of phyton, and also the onlooker that run, stopped in their track. It’s because Lili is stopped that attack with only her right hand.
“...What are you trying to do to Yami-sama!?”
Lili say that with her usual icy voice but right now, it’s full of killing intent.
Diana's face is changing into that hatred and fear.
“D...DON'T UNDERSTIMATE ME, YOU MACHINE!!!”
“BZZZZZZZTT”
The spark fill the dining room, Diana took something that look like electric baton from her jacket to attack Lili.
“Wh...at?”
Once again everyone in the dining room is shocked, it’s because Lili that should have been destroyed is standing uninjured like nothing happen.
“How?"
Diana is lost for word.
"Is that it?"
With uninterested voice, Lili stared at Diana.
"Then it's my turn"
Lili put down the tray in her left hand to nearby table and her hand started to glowing with purple spark.
Most of humanoid is weak again Electric because their circuit is will get destroyed instantly. But….
"P...please, don't..."
The reason why Lili not affected by electric is simple, it’s because she possess something that is more powerful electric, Thunder.
Lili Thrust her hand that covered with the purple spark that is fatal against human, she’s aimed the Diana's face.
BZZZzzzt
But it was stopped before it reach the leader of phyton, why? It’s because I holding Lili’s fist.
(If she hit by this, she definitely can’t become normal again)
“…Yami-sama…”
“It’s alright".
“….”
“For time being, I think you should switch off your thunder”
Lili is look down and the purple spark in her hand started to disappear and the gone.
I smile while patting her head, it might be rude to leader of phyton, but I was glad that she actually angry for my sake.
“you all, I think you should bring her to her room and make her rest for now.”
I say that to the member of phyton that still stunned, They started to move because of my voice and silently left the dining room with their leader.
Silence still fill the dining room, the moment I think we also need to get out from here…
“OOOOO….AWESOME”
“I NEVER SAW SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE”
The silence within the dining hall is changed to cheers.
“You’re so cool, what’s your name?”
“I never knew there’s humanoid that can laugh,I should write this on next newspaper!”
“Please go out with me!”
“Itsuki! I’m first!!!”
Lili is immediately surrounded by everyone , boys and girls. I silently leave her alone. everything is experience.
“…Um…That…”
Lili that was never have decent conversation with strangers suddenly surrounded by many people, She must be so confused right now.
“I don’t know what would happen for a second there, but looks like it end well”
I saw Arthur that running toward me.
“Oi. Yami, I don’t know you have a humanoid…she not only super pretty but also strong. Lucky you!!”
Arthur pin my head and made drill punch while I hear his friends saying “I’m so jealous”.
“What’s her name?”
Arthur ask me while still pinning my head.
“Lili”
Arthur friends that hear that instantly running to the crowd and shout.
“Her name is Lili, what a perfect name for beauty”
Then , the crowd just surround Lili more intensely.
“Boys, First let girl talk to her. Know the shame”
I glad, With this Lili will get known here, and she should be able to make friend here.
“Lili-san, Please be my girlfriend”
“No, he’s a pervert. Just go out with gentle men like me”
“What a “gentlemen” you maniac!!, don’t think I don’t know about your hidden porn magazine.”
The boys started to have confession contest by their own.
“What you gonna do, Yami?. Your Humanoid might feel to another men, you know”
Arthur finally released me.
“Don’t worry, that won’t happen”
“Hoo. What a confidence. What’s your basis?”
“You will know it, and I think I need to get out from here…and fast”
“huh?”
Arthur inclined his neck, If I looking at current Lili, it just about time she will say that line. The line that make every boys in Misas chasing me to the death.
“I…”
Lili that was surrounded by confession from here and there…
“Not good, I still in this room”
“MY BODY AND SOUL IS DEDICATED ONLY FOR YAMI-SAMA!!!”
After Lili shout, silence fill the area, even the sound of excited boys a while ago is feel like just a mirage.
The only voices I can hear is just voices of two person within my body.
[If you running straight to the door, you might survive!]
[No matter how much I hear it, That line is really a walking bomb]
“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT?”
Because of this Me and Lili became pretty famous within this dorm.
PART 2
“I’m tired”
I throw myself on the bed, After give them a long full explanation they finally let me go.
“I’m sorry, Yami-sama. It’s because of me…”
“Don’t worry about that, because of that fuss. Now they all should be familiar with us”
I answer while laugh wryly.
[ups, jou-chan’s switch is change, so we will also going back]
[well then, Yami. Take care of her, don’t forget to place the seal]
Both of them is gone to Atom sphere, Atom Sphere is the first Immortal Art I create. Simply put, I create a world within my body so they can fight. When they know I created a world where they fight without restraint, they overjoyed.
I created it because I saw them not energetic, when I ask them, they told me that they not fight for a while. After all, their fight something that not happen because of hatred toward of each other, but because they just a bad friend that need to fight once a while.
“Yami….sama”
From her tone, I knew that her personality changed. Lili actually have double personality, one is her usual expressionless personality and one is where she have many emotion and will say anything on her mind.
Usually a person that have double personality won't remember what his personality doing, but Lili is remember what her another personality doing, That's why she usually awkward toward me if that happen.
The second personality is usually happen when so many thing is on her mind, at that time I will hear anything she say until she calm down.
I wake myself and sit on the bed.
“How about sit here first, I will listen to anything you have to say.”
I make a sign with my hand to told her to sit beside me.
“But, isn’t will trouble you? You should be tired after coming here from Misas and also after all that happening…”
“Who do you think I am? I won’t be collapsed just because something like that”.
I smile confidently.
“then, excuse me…”
She sit beside me. And starting to talk.
"I'm sorry for scene i make back then".
She bow her head toward me.
"Stop it, it's not something you need to apologized for"
"I was pretty troubled when she do that.
"After all, you must be unpleasant to have humanoid that can't even control her own feeling"
Her eyes is downcast.
"No way that happen, Or rather i was happy you know?"
"Why?"
She look at me, surprised.
“Well, certainly you shouldn’t do that…but, i'm glad that you think of me that much".
This is pretty embarrassing, but i need to clearly told her this.
"Even from now on, Stay with me forever”.
I stare at her transparent silver eyes that was wet by tear, make it’s look more beautiful.
“Of course!, Yami-sama is the only one I will serve, if I have to serve another person, I will self-des…”
I close her her lip with my finger.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let something happen that will make you do that. So please don’t say that sad word.”
“yes…I’m sorry….”
She nod at my word.
“Also, did you forgot what I say back then?, “you are mine, you won’t serve another person except me”.”
After I say that, She clung to my chest tightly while sobbing.
“There’s…no…way…I forgot….because…that word is….my….treasure”
I just pat her head so she feel at easy.
After a while, she finally calm down.
“Umm….Yami-sama…tonight…can I…sleep beside you?”
Even I can’t see her face because she still clung to my chest, I can still see her cheeks is beef red.
“Alright”
A girl is muster all her courage to say that, if I avoid the subject here, I’m not a man.
I lie down while Lili still clinging to me, I can feel girl sweet smell so close to me. Even in this personality, it’s the first time ever Lili depended so much to me.
(I absolutely won't let anybody hurt her, even myself)
This is my honest feeling.
When I see Lili face, she already sleeping.
“What a cute sleeping face, she looks like human no matter how you see it”.
And then, I hear Lili sleep-talk.
“Yami…sama….As I though… I…rea…Lo…u…, Ples...don't...leav...me...al..one”
"I won't go anywhere"
While muttering so, i close my eyes.
PART 1
I go out from my room, heading to dining room for extra food because what dinner (cup ramen) Lili prepare isn’t enough for my poor body.
Fortunately I already saw the map of this dorm, This dorm is shaped like alphabet “H” where the right side for the girls and the left side for the boys. The room that separate boys and girls dorm is Kitchen room and dining room, That is the only room where boys and girls allowed meet within dorm.

When I wondering what to do someone tap my shoulder.
“Yo, Are you in trouble?”
I turn my back and see the one who tap me, he looks same age as me or maybe older. He’s wearing light jacket and brown bandana on his head.
“Well, I just trying to find open seats but every seat is occupied”
“I see, Then…How about eat with us? We have open seat there?
He pointed at the most back seat, there I saw someone waving his hand, looks like his friend.
“Thanks, But I not alone, there’s also my friend, so…”
“Don’t worry about that, we have four open seat, so you can also bring your friend there”.
Reject someone goodwill is something that I can’t do.
“Thanks, then I gonna take your offer”.
“Sweet, ah I forgot to introduce myself, I’m Arthur Santana. Nice to meet you”
“nice to meet you too, I’m Sekizawa Yami”
“From your name, you not from around here, right?”
“Yes, I came from Misas, and only came here today”
“Hee…so you just like me. I also not from this city but from Regu, you have anything want to ask, just ask me. Even though I just came here a week ago but I know most of anything about this school”.
Regu is a small city from continent of west, it’s pretty far from Reinslan
“Let’s just order our food and sit there”
Arthur point at the Dinner counter behind him with his thumb.
Then we hear someone whispering, and not just one.
“Oi, Did you see her?”
“Yes, she’s a real beauty”
“You think she have boyfriend?”
“Fool!, she’s a humanoid, you know?”
“But, it’s the first time I saw Humanoid that pretty.”
“Yeah, but if it like this the “Phyton” will…”
“Phyton, huh?"
Arthur sighing when he hear that name.
“What’s Phyton?”
“Phyton is a group of girls that think they are the most beautiful in Metaria school. They will try recruit pretty girl to join their group, if she refused they will destroy her face.”
“What a brutal girls group”
I was amazed because there’s something like that here.
“It’s bad, Phyton here”
Then I hear the whisper and look at the door that open. A group of girls that have heavy make-up enter proudly just like peacock.
“Where’s that humanoid girl?”
The one who say that is looks like their leader.
“She’s on the counter”
“Alright, let’s go to greet our new companion, girls”
Then they all go to the counter.
“I will also go”
“Don’t, you might get involved if you go there”
I smile wryly to Arthur.
“I think I already involved”
“Huh?”
Leaving confused Arthur, I run toward counter.
[Yami, Did you think…]
(There’s no mistake)
I answer Metatron before he finished asking.
Then I arrived at the counter.
“As I though…”
There I saw Lili that holding a tray of food get surrounded by Phyton girls.
"...Excuse me, i need to go"
Even though she circled, Lili expressionless face still don't change.
“I won’t discriminate you just because you are a humanoid, I love pretty thing.”
The leader of Phyton is walk toward Lili and trying to touch her shoulder. but Lili avoid her by moving sideward.
"...Please refrain from touching me so familiarly,...only Yami-sama can do that"
The leader is shaking a bit.
"Is he your master? let me talk to him, i sure he will give you to me after my persuasion"
She lick her lip.
I walk from onlooker side and stand in middle of Lili and Leader.
"You need anything from me?
"...Yami-sama?"
I hear Lili voice behind me.
"So you her master? I can't feel any Mana from you, Neutral, huh?"
She laugh in mockery.
"I just cut the case, Give her to me and i won't hurt y..."
"I refuse"
I cut her off flatly before she finish talking"
"H...HOW DARE A NEUTRAL TALK TO ME, DIANA DIAMOND 7TH RANK HERO LIKE THAT!!?
She pissed, I think she already pretty pissed when Lili avoid her before.
She emitting yellow aura.
"Diana-sama, if you use your power here..."
oneof phyton member trying to calm her, but...
"SHUT UP! I NEED TO TEACH THIS NEUTRAL HIS PLACE!"
She already to angry to hear her companion voice.
"Oi oi, this is bad, right?"
"Let's get out from here"
The onlooker starting to run.
"TAKE THIS!, NEUTRAL!!"
She thrust her fist that covered with yellow aura toward me, but i just stand there, because...
“Eh?”
I have reliable partner beside me.
The leader of the phyton shocked, not only the leader, everyone in this room is shocked, the member of phyton, and also the onlooker that run, stopped in their track. It’s because Lili is stopped that attack with only her right hand.
“...What are you trying to do to Yami-sama!?”
Lili say that with her usual icy voice but right now, it’s full of killing intent.
Diana's face is changing into that hatred and fear.
“D...DON'T UNDERSTIMATE ME, YOU MACHINE!!!”
“BZZZZZZZTT”
The spark fill the dining room, Diana took something that look like electric baton from her jacket to attack Lili.
“Wh...at?”
Once again everyone in the dining room is shocked, it’s because Lili that should have been destroyed is standing uninjured like nothing happen.
“How?"
Diana is lost for word.
"Is that it?"
With uninterested voice, Lili stared at Diana.
"Then it's my turn"
Lili put down the tray in her left hand to nearby table and her hand started to glowing with purple spark.
Most of humanoid is weak again Electric because their circuit is will get destroyed instantly. But….
"P...please, don't..."
The reason why Lili not affected by electric is simple, it’s because she possess something that is more powerful electric, Thunder.
Lili Thrust her hand that covered with the purple spark that is fatal against human, she’s aimed the Diana's face.
BZZZzzzt
But it was stopped before it reach the leader of phyton, why? It’s because I holding Lili’s fist.
(If she hit by this, she definitely can’t become normal again)
“…Yami-sama…”
“It’s alright".
“….”
“For time being, I think you should switch off your thunder”
Lili is look down and the purple spark in her hand started to disappear and the gone.
I smile while patting her head, it might be rude to leader of phyton, but I was glad that she actually angry for my sake.
“you all, I think you should bring her to her room and make her rest for now.”
I say that to the member of phyton that still stunned, They started to move because of my voice and silently left the dining room with their leader.
Silence still fill the dining room, the moment I think we also need to get out from here…
“OOOOO….AWESOME”
“I NEVER SAW SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE”
The silence within the dining hall is changed to cheers.
“You’re so cool, what’s your name?”
“I never knew there’s humanoid that can laugh,I should write this on next newspaper!”
“Please go out with me!”
“Itsuki! I’m first!!!”
Lili is immediately surrounded by everyone , boys and girls. I silently leave her alone. everything is experience.
“…Um…That…”
Lili that was never have decent conversation with strangers suddenly surrounded by many people, She must be so confused right now.
“I don’t know what would happen for a second there, but looks like it end well”
I saw Arthur that running toward me.
“Oi. Yami, I don’t know you have a humanoid…she not only super pretty but also strong. Lucky you!!”
Arthur pin my head and made drill punch while I hear his friends saying “I’m so jealous”.
“What’s her name?”
Arthur ask me while still pinning my head.
“Lili”
Arthur friends that hear that instantly running to the crowd and shout.
“Her name is Lili, what a perfect name for beauty”
Then , the crowd just surround Lili more intensely.
“Boys, First let girl talk to her. Know the shame”
I glad, With this Lili will get known here, and she should be able to make friend here.
“Lili-san, Please be my girlfriend”
“No, he’s a pervert. Just go out with gentle men like me”
“What a “gentlemen” you maniac!!, don’t think I don’t know about your hidden porn magazine.”
The boys started to have confession contest by their own.
“What you gonna do, Yami?. Your Humanoid might feel to another men, you know”
Arthur finally released me.
“Don’t worry, that won’t happen”
“Hoo. What a confidence. What’s your basis?”
“You will know it, and I think I need to get out from here…and fast”
“huh?”
Arthur inclined his neck, If I looking at current Lili, it just about time she will say that line. The line that make every boys in Misas chasing me to the death.
“I…”
Lili that was surrounded by confession from here and there…
“Not good, I still in this room”
“MY BODY AND SOUL IS DEDICATED ONLY FOR YAMI-SAMA!!!”
After Lili shout, silence fill the area, even the sound of excited boys a while ago is feel like just a mirage.
The only voices I can hear is just voices of two person within my body.
[If you running straight to the door, you might survive!]
[No matter how much I hear it, That line is really a walking bomb]
“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT?”
Because of this Me and Lili became pretty famous within this dorm.
PART 2
“I’m tired”
I throw myself on the bed, After give them a long full explanation they finally let me go.
“I’m sorry, Yami-sama. It’s because of me…”
“Don’t worry about that, because of that fuss. Now they all should be familiar with us”
I answer while laugh wryly.
[ups, jou-chan’s switch is change, so we will also going back]
[well then, Yami. Take care of her, don’t forget to place the seal]
Both of them is gone to Atom sphere, Atom Sphere is the first Immortal Art I create. Simply put, I create a world within my body so they can fight. When they know I created a world where they fight without restraint, they overjoyed.
I created it because I saw them not energetic, when I ask them, they told me that they not fight for a while. After all, their fight something that not happen because of hatred toward of each other, but because they just a bad friend that need to fight once a while.
“Yami….sama”
From her tone, I knew that her personality changed. Lili actually have double personality, one is her usual expressionless personality and one is where she have many emotion and will say anything on her mind.
Usually a person that have double personality won't remember what his personality doing, but Lili is remember what her another personality doing, That's why she usually awkward toward me if that happen.
The second personality is usually happen when so many thing is on her mind, at that time I will hear anything she say until she calm down.
I wake myself and sit on the bed.
“How about sit here first, I will listen to anything you have to say.”
I make a sign with my hand to told her to sit beside me.
“But, isn’t will trouble you? You should be tired after coming here from Misas and also after all that happening…”
“Who do you think I am? I won’t be collapsed just because something like that”.
I smile confidently.
“then, excuse me…”
She sit beside me. And starting to talk.
"I'm sorry for scene i make back then".
She bow her head toward me.
"Stop it, it's not something you need to apologized for"
"I was pretty troubled when she do that.
"After all, you must be unpleasant to have humanoid that can't even control her own feeling"
Her eyes is downcast.
"No way that happen, Or rather i was happy you know?"
"Why?"
She look at me, surprised.
“Well, certainly you shouldn’t do that…but, i'm glad that you think of me that much".
This is pretty embarrassing, but i need to clearly told her this.
"Even from now on, Stay with me forever”.
I stare at her transparent silver eyes that was wet by tear, make it’s look more beautiful.
“Of course!, Yami-sama is the only one I will serve, if I have to serve another person, I will self-des…”
I close her her lip with my finger.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let something happen that will make you do that. So please don’t say that sad word.”
“yes…I’m sorry….”
She nod at my word.
“Also, did you forgot what I say back then?, “you are mine, you won’t serve another person except me”.”
After I say that, She clung to my chest tightly while sobbing.
“There’s…no…way…I forgot….because…that word is….my….treasure”
I just pat her head so she feel at easy.
After a while, she finally calm down.
“Umm….Yami-sama…tonight…can I…sleep beside you?”
Even I can’t see her face because she still clung to my chest, I can still see her cheeks is beef red.
“Alright”
A girl is muster all her courage to say that, if I avoid the subject here, I’m not a man.
I lie down while Lili still clinging to me, I can feel girl sweet smell so close to me. Even in this personality, it’s the first time ever Lili depended so much to me.
(I absolutely won't let anybody hurt her, even myself)
This is my honest feeling.
When I see Lili face, she already sleeping.
“What a cute sleeping face, she looks like human no matter how you see it”.
And then, I hear Lili sleep-talk.
“Yami…sama….As I though… I…rea…Lo…u…, Ples...don't...leav...me...al..one”
"I won't go anywhere"
While muttering so, i close my eyes.
Spoiler! :
Price
Thanatos and Metatron is resting under a tree after their usual battle.
[Thanatos, Did you remember?]
Within Atom Sphere that receive massive damage everywhere after Metatron and Thanatos battle, Metatron call out to Thanatos who's lying down beside him, cleaning his treasured sword, <<Oblivion>>. It was a long Jet-Black Sword around 1,5 meter, The handle is made from dragon's scale and The edge that made from wyvern's fang that he slay himself is shining like a mirror because of the sun.
[Hm? about what?]
Thanatos answered without looking at Metatron.
[When Yami created this <<Atom Sphere>>]
Metatron say that while gaze toward <<Atom Sphere>> that already started to restoring himself. The ground that have big hole here and there is closed one after another, replaced by grass field. Because <<Atom Sphere>> real form is just a grass field with some trees.
Thanatos stop what he's doing and place <<Oblivion>> to his sheath.
[Aah, That's when we realize how dangerous Immortal can be]
Thanatos' eyes gaze toward distance.
[When i hear Yami want to create a world where we can fight without restrain, i was very excited. Not only because i can fight with you again but also i can witness <<Immortal Art>> with my own eyes].
[Yeah, i also think like that]
Metatron is unusually agreed with Thanatos.
[But...]
Metatron close his eyes.
[A great power is need a great price too].
Thanatos also said.
[But i never though that the price needed to pay to performing an <<Immortal Art>> is not something that Yami couldn't pay]
Metatron open his eyes again and gaze toward the sky.
[World itself...is the price]
