“Are you stupid or something? Stars won’t appear in this cloudy weather.” I got closer to her and her pitiful eyes. She gave me a stare for a moment and asked. “Why are you still talking to me? You’re supposed to be frightened of me.” That must be true for a lot of reasons. But I can’t just live with a crying girl alone. Kiyoko stepped back as I stepped closer. She wiped her tears and turned around. Similar to what I did before, I again grasped her hand. “What are you doing? I’ll really tell Big Sister about your action. I’ll tell her that you’re a molester and an enemy of all girls. A pig that should be executed immediately.” She’s angry. “ On the other side of the border… The weather wasn’t as cold as here. There are no snowy clouds and the surroundings were green like every April.” “I can’t understand you.” “I’ll tell you where to find a sea of stars floating in the night sky.” I said. The moment she heard my words, her eyes sparkled and her face brightened. A hue of happi
November 13, XXXX I’m still staying in Ren’s residence with the other girls. Seating down on the veranda adoring the snowy fields in my sight. Months passed and I felt like there is nothing to improve any longer. I was thought with their sword style and martial arts. Training every day for the fateful day when we’re going to launch an attack on Ophiuchus. In fact, I already felt stale and bored. Lingering in my head were thoughts that something is quite not right at all. This is not just in my head. I can make some little explanation in why I’m feeling this way. Let’s say that we’ve defeated Ophiuchus successfully. Taking the divine gems for ourselves will be questionable. All factions I’ve encountered have an interest in one divine gem. That is why, in lake valor thousand of exterminators, mercenaries, and knights are deployed. I’m sure Kisato will take the divine gem and I can’t make I complain about that because they helped me a lot. I can’t tell them that I need the divine ge
I won’t let you die here, Red. You are the source of my faith, my hope, and my love. I won’t let it happen again. The red glow faded away and I still have myself standing. My body radiates a golden glow. Is this the strengthening technique Choco give me? This is different my body feels so light and I don’t feel any kind of pain. The surge of power rushes onto my every vein. You are not alone… I hate it every time you admitted hopelessness. No matter what happened I’ll make sure that you won’t die until our fated day happened. That’s why don’t give up easily! Stupid idiot Red! “I’m sorry for giving up…” I’m so logical and never think about how a miracle could happen. People whose so grounded in reality will never break through the impossible. There is no way of doing the impossible if I continue being pessimistic. I have to look forward and believe. If you don’t believe in yourself, believe in me who believes in you. Keep moving forward no matter what. Flames ignited on my dagge
My dagger turned into a sword of a standard length. Blade dark as charcoal same with the hilt. The sharp edges emit scarlet glows making the blade too hot to touch. This is the result of my hard training. My frustration was to keep up with Kisara and others who were stronger than me. “Artifact change… That is not included in the information we have on you. You have some other stuff hidden in your sleeves.” Dark knight said. A good fighter could always come with surprises. The sword length and weight were perfect. Either heavy or light. Long or sword… In addition, the moment my artifact changes huge pool of energy was suddenly ushing on my body. The artifact change also gives me a status boost. Choco, how long is the strengthening will last? Three minutes, but I could extend it… “We don’t need an extension. This battle, I can’t afford to lose consciousness. I’ll destroy this man right now in a few seconds.” “What are you babbling about? You can’t even keep up with my dark fluid
Where am I? What is this place?-- Kisara turned her pupils around her surroundings. She sees her siblings tied down with what seems to be an Anti magic chain. Kisara felt so powerless. She tried to struggle for a bit and fails. Kisara is not very disappointed with the result because she fully knows that without her ability or artifact. She was is no different from an ordinary teenage girl. She sat up and lead her back to the cold wall of the prison. Her eyes lift up at the concrete ceiling as she waits for help. That might be the only way for her to get away from this situation. No, that’s definitely the only way to escape. Her brother Kazuto was also captured. His body was full of bruises and the chains wrapped around him were thicker than those wrapped with others. Kiyoka was not at the sibling's probably because she was outside at the snowy mountains training. That lifted some hope in Kisara’s heart. She will come to save them once she finds out. More importantly, the most import
“What is the meaning of this?! Hime--!!!” Kisara swings her blazing scythe ranging with anger. Wall blast out with roaring flames. But the flames Kisara uses wasn’t enough to penetrate the barrier cast by Hime. “Are you trying to burn your sister’s corpse?” “Answer me! What is the meaning of this?” Kisara asked once again. On her side, the swordswoman, Yellow, unsheathed her sword and point it at Kisara’s head. “My lord, you must not taint your hand any longer. Let me take care of this one.”, said Yellow with fierce eyes. “No, I’ll take this woman on my own.” “But…” Princess walked across Kisato’s dead body and walked closer to Kisara. Kisara throws Fireballs at her and all are deflected by Hime’s barrier. With the power of a divine gem on Hime’s hand. She gains access to a huge pool of concentrated blessing energy. “...Kisara is always been a selfish bitch that always thinks highly of herself. I'd been resisting all this time. The truth is I want to put you into lots of mis
30 minutes earlier, before Kisara woke up. Touka made a quick strike with a powerful spear attack. The pink-haired demon, or the fiery demon to say, swiftly invades her spear and flies around Touka, countering with a fiery feather shooting Touka’s back. The fiery feather was then intercepted by a magic spell bullet before it hits Touka. The cast of the spell was an unfamiliar girl to Red named Mayuna. Mayuna was very good at supporting magic such as healing and giving her allies buffs. Honestly, it was her specialty. Dire things could happen and she learns how to fight by learning a few offensive spells that he can use. Offensive-type magic wasn’t all about attacking opponents. There was a circumstance where offensive magic could be used to protect your allies like what she demonstrated just that moment. Touka wasn’t even worried about her back because she knew someone was there protecting her. Touka twisted her body with full force and delivered a sharp wind that made some shallow
A long time ago, at the demon village. A twin baby girl was born. Demon-kinds immediately gathered at the misfortunate event. The twin baby is considered bad luck and useless because demons born as twins will only have access to half of the normal demon magic. To the village that judges the usefulness of one demon by their magical powers. The twins were seen as trash. Something that needs to be disposed of before it brings disgrace to their clan. The mother of the twin babies was wailing on her husband's chest. Crying and crying, even though she didn’t want this to happen. There was nothing she could do. Her husband was in the same boat. At the last moment, the father tried to retaliate against the chief. Attacking the chief with his magic. But he was immediately defeated. The chief wasn’t just a title for the show. The demon chief was chosen because he was the strongest among their clan. “I’m sorry Lumuria…” “Gazen, my son, just like you, killing my first granddaughter was painful.
In the blink of an eye, almost one year has passed. The world destruction ritual was postponed because of Mayu’s death. Everyone was devastated and sad about the news. Especially to her significant other Maple. But this time Maple remains strong-willed and stays cheerful despite the happening. She continues living in the restaurant and assisting Akane. With Noah’s Plan in world destruction and making the whole world underwater using the genesis bearers powers failed. Princess and Isacia took advantage to defeat her. With all the royal family dead. Princess Charlotte was in charge of the whole kingdom. The true dragon race came into agreement with Princess Charlotte. The threat in the world was gone. Noah and Creator of Magic Mayu. A peace treaty was made. The leader of the true dragons the blue dragon girl named Cyan promised that the true dragons as part of the divine race will never gonna do anything that will harm the whole of humanity. The same promise was made by Princess Cha
I didn’t expect such an occurrence to happen. The surrounding was bright and full of happiness. There are some quarrels here and there but everything was moving fine.“There are too many customers we expanded and bring some tables and chairs outside the shop.”Using Megumi's plant magic. She created fairytale-style chairs made of vines and wood. From the roof, a big leaf was used. With that upgrade, the shop was looking magnificent from the outside.The customers are kept ongoing and everyone was helping us. Laura and Princess Charlotte already invested in the shop and brought many ingredients to keep the serving continue.With the insane challenge given to Akane. Akane was more fire up and started cooking in front of the customers like one of those live cookings.Seeing how big Akane’s smile was. I was thinking of Akane really wanted to become a sword saint. Cooking is a much better suit than her.“Can I also help the shop?”A little girl come and approached me.“Eh? Sorry but this i
The day has come. Waking up early in the morning. I opened my eyes. My room was still in darkness and the light was the ray of the morning sun coming from my window.I get up and seat on my bed. Made a big “Yawn~” and stretched my hands upward. It was still too early. The grand opening of our coffee shop was set at nine in the morning.Being the first one to wake up. I walked around the house and opened the main entrance door. Still with my exhausted self from sleep.“Well, gotta start getting things early…”Opening the door I saw a swarm of people waiting outside the restaurant. Even it was too early. There is a huge crowd waiting already.This is very surprising. I closed my eye’s again to check if I’m in reality.“Hmmm!”The breath burst from my mouth as I look at them.I closed the door and fixed myself as fast I can. I then wake up everyone whose still happily playing on their dreams. I pulled them out and presented them to the long line outside of the restaurant.“There are lots
It’s Autumn season the green leaves of the trees turn maple brown. The cold breeze of the upcoming winter is already felt. People are mostly busy cleaning the dry falling leaves.But in Floaroma City, that suppose to be the case. People are busy for another kind of reason.Colorful flags were placed around the city. Different kind of stall was constructed. People are getting busy displaying the product of Floaroma city.Early in the morning, the whole staff in the restaurant decided to have a day off together and walked around the city.“Wow, pretty.”Sasa said as she looks at a sheet of fabric displayed in the street. The fabric has different patterns on it and very pleasing to the eyes.“That’s right… I guess it is a festival season now.”“What sort of festival is it?”“It’s Floaroma’s dance festival. It started 250 years ago, and everyone dances however they please in the town square or the highlands. It’s about offering the fruits of the harvest to the earth god and praying for a
I gripped my sword tightly. Reinforcing the whole of my body with magic. I dashed forward and make the first slash. My sword clashes with the Demon king sword. After the first clash, it was immediately followed by the second and the third. In just a few moments our sword is already moving at terrifying speed.I always battle Akane with my sword. I know how swordsmen already swing their swords. I predicted the demon king's slash and intercepted them immediately. Unlike how Eriko battle me earlier. This battle is farther more extreme. Expected of the demon king.I already put revenge on the people killed by Eriko. Reflecting on myself. I was wondering…Why I’m still fighting?To me who don’t have anyone to protect anymore. Why I’m still fighting? I thought over and over again.I made the first strike but as the battle drags out. I’m looking toward Megumi’s face.Unlike me, Megumi has a future. She has a future with her child. Emiko needs a mother. Killing this person in front of me is l
“Let’s amuse each other until the end, my playmate!”Eriko dashed forward. She swings her red blood sword attacking me constantly.I manage to avoid all of the attacks because of the increase of speed of my new form.Focusing magical energy on my sword. I counter back slashed Eriko’s chest. My sword was covered with magical power and the strength I put on the sword was each to the magic I used. Resulting in a black spark that dealt incredible damage to Eriko’s soul.“Soul piercer!”“Managing to use soul piercer with a sword… You’re truly a talented one…”After successfully using a soul piercer with my sword. I get closer to Eriko and attack her continuously. When the soul piercer was successfully hit it the target. The target was stunned for few seconds.Within that seconds Eriko can’t move. I have to continuously attack her and destroy her soul.When I destroy her soul. That means she won't be reincarnated ever again. This evil will be erased forever in this world.To all of those pe
In the demon realm, the hunting and the hunted battle continues. Day and night monsters and demons continuously appeared right before my eyes.The divine race fear of the creator widens and want to kill me as fast as possible. But that is something I never wanted.I want to survive no matter what… I will go through this and destroy everything on my way.Katia beside me with her sword. She made a sword stance to prepare herself for combat.“Mayu they are coming!”I concentrated and beneath the ground. The monsters and demons emerge. Breaking the ground and causing destruction.“These monsters must be familiar. They are all programmed to hunt the creator's vessel.”“There are so many of them.”About a hundred monsters suddenly appeared. They are not just ordinary monsters. They are all S-rank monsters that can destroy an entire city if they wanted to.Not even a genesis bearer can handle such a number by myself. Especially that each monster has I’s own set of skills.Running won’t make
It’s been three months since Mayu left the restaurant. Leaving me with just her letter. I still feel fearful about what's going to happen to her.As usual, the restaurant was lively and has many customers. Sasa and Nana are steadily getting used to serving customers quickly. Megumi was now the chef when Akane was gone.Akane also feels bitter about what Mayu decided to do. Even still, I know that Akane feels anxious about Mayu. She is her closest friend after all.“Welcome to the red riding restaurant. Can I take your order?”“It’s the rumored cutie in the restaurant. It’s Maple.”“Your name was so cute just like your face.”“Can I take your orders now?”A normal day has come and I was forced to smile as I look toward the customers. Most of them are annoying always asking for my phone number and more.I’m exhausted. I thought and then goes inside the back of the restaurant.In the back of the restaurant was an alley. They are almost no one walking in this place. Looking bout the sky.
I have a dream… A very very long dream. A dream about me in the past. For a weird girl like me, childhood is rough. My family wasn’t as caring, but still, I’m grateful for the life they gave me.Without them, I would be unable to experience everything I’ve been through.Life comes in many flavors. Sometimes it's sweet, sometimes it's bitter. Sour days always come and there is a stale, tasteless day of boredom.Back in Japan I only care about myself. I never thought that I would need someone at my side. I always think that I can do everything on my own.I keep proving that everyone else around me was wrong. I accumulate money and live alone. It was fun being able to do anything without someone yelling at you. This freedom and loop of happiness. Being a slave to pleasure is for sure. If not made moderate, it will surely destroy someone’s life.Where am I again? I see, I’m back in my house again.Waking up early in the morning, there as I wake up Marie and Shuri playing with Shirone and
