After seeing the huge fire in the village nearby, Luke and I immediately responded. Dashing with all of our strength.From the sight of it, the flames aren’t something from an accident. It was obvious that the one behind this fire had intended to erase the entire village. Desperate civilians running for their lives are gunned down by unknown people in red robes.I could say that we’re too late already. Seeing how many people laying on the ground lifeless.Terror first comes into my mind and is then replaced by fury.“Don’t be overcome by your emotions. There is still hope… There are still people needing our help.”Luke said.His movement speed increased. He kicks the ground, launching himself forward. Slash and hack down enemies on his way. Three red-robed men blocking his way were immediately defeated.I agree with his statement and followed his lead.A red-robbed man landed in front of me and with a spear he thrust forward. I used the sword to block his spear and immediately move to
After that, we move to rescue the village's remaining survivors. They are alive but their eyes are filled with despair, seeing their home village turned into oblivion before their eyes.Tears are shed and grieving for the people who lost their lives.Having plenty of time, Luke and I decided to help the people by giving the killed people proper burial. Digging through the soil, gently putting each body down.Two hours after burying the people, the survivors and us put our hands together to offer prayers.“Would you like to come with us?” Area 14 shelter is a safe place to live.”I said to the survivors. They turned their heads to each other in confusion. They looked at me with hopeful eyes.“Are we really allowed to come with you?”Asked a woman.“Sure--”“--No.”Luke cut in and pulled my shoulder away and took the lead.“It’s something we’re not in control of.”“What are you saying? These people need our help. It was better if they were living in protected areas like shelters.”“Shel
Another day began, which means another work day. It’s not like I hate working. Having a place where I belong is not so bad.I turned my head left to right and still noticed the glare of other staff. Maybe saying that this is the place where I belong is incorrect., Currently, I am sitting in the cafeteria together with my masters Kisara and Charlotte. I was happily having good food on my table. Instead of stale bread which I was planning to have. Kisara lent me some money that I can use until my paycheck arrives.“You better pay me the moment you receive your paycheck.”Kisara said after she gulped the food in her mouth. She turned her spoon back to the plate and had another scoop.“Sure… There is no place for me to run away.”“So if there is a place where you can run away. You’re not paying Kisara?” Charlotte cuts in.“No… I’m still going to pay Kisara, even if the world leads to destruction.”“That’s over dramatic. If the world is going to be destroyed. Money would be useless. You s
What should I do? What should I do honestly? I thought while seating on the stone side of the fountain. There is a park inside the shelter, but I hardly think of this place as a park. Park in paradise is a beautiful place surrounded by several colorful flowers. Green trees and people smile.This park is nearly empty. No flowers, no decorations, no trees, etc. Just a chair and this huge fountain. This fountain was said to be the center of the shelter. Everything in this place is concrete. No soil for plants to grow up. Let's say there is soil, it's still impossible to grow plants because of the lack of sunlight.Multiple light bulbs aligned up above the ceiling are the main source of light inside the shelter. When the clock hits 6:00 PM, the light bulb will be turned off and only a few street lights will be turned on. The scale of the shelter isn’t as wide as I thought. 105 by 68 meters of land and building structures. The population of 950-1000.They only allowed people with permissio
“You sure are amazing...”I said in awe and touched some of the items laying around. What is this curved wing-like metal anyway? After looking for a minute, the item in my hand snapped out and fell. I immediately went into a panic thinking that I was the cause.“I’m not amazing like you think I am…”Chiwa said, followed with a heavy sigh. Walking to me, she took the snapped metal-like wing and continued.“... This is a homing boomerang… I design this to chase down the target no matter where they run… My design is not good enough. This item is a failure. Together with dozens of items here. Now, I feel pathetic boosting myself as a great inventor without any foundation.”“I do think some of the items here look cool. Like this mechanical spider. This one looks fine.”“That’s a failure too... I wanted to create something like Robbopi on my own. But they don’t have the intelligence I strive for. They are normal robots compared to Roboppi… Because of my failure, Roboppi is always alone here
There are lots of turn in the street I have no idea where Chiwa go. I pause and turned my head left and right. I lift my head and remember the time Kotori and Charlotte chased me.Channeling my strength on my feet. I jump u the wall and used the pipe as a stepping stone to reach the rooftop. Having the high ground my vision widens. There were not lots of people strolling around.Moving objects are easy to notice.I run around leaping on the rooftop searching for Chiwa.What am doing right? Chiwa might be his wife, but the abuse Chiwa experienced was wrong.Based on what I heard earlier, Chiwa is being sold for money. That’s why she becomes that old man’s wife. I never thought that her life is this complicated.If she is escaping there is only one place where she can go.I immediately headed toward the dark alley manhole near the fountain. I flipped open the cover and go down.In her workshop… That is the only place where she can hide.My intuition is right on the money.“Chiwa…”Chiwa
“Never think a city this big still exists after the existence of demon kind.” “Shelter only allowed limited people to stay inside their protected zone. A long time ago, only people who have money could stay inside. There is not much change. They are no different from the cowards who hide above the clouds.” “They all look tasty…” “Resist your animal urges for now… We agree to enjoy some human cuisine once in a while.” “I want to jump into desserts… Parfait! Parfait! Or maybe a strawberry crepe!” Four demon kinds in their human form were waltzing casually in the streets of Yuman City. Shido and Rio stayed reserved and acted normally as soon as they stepped inside the city. But for the other two with them, Fandor the muscular man with a face mixture of man and woman. It was a bit of trouble, not because he was afraid of being caught in the act. But to suppress his urges to eat delicious humans. Gulping his spit every time he turned at glance a young, tasty human. “Another young on
Early, in the morning I was summoned to Touka’s office. She handed me my next mission. After reading the description of the job, I asked—“A cleaning job?”“Dead bodies are found in one of the apartment buildings here inside our shelter. Based on the observation the foul smell started two days ago… Neighbors are too afraid to check at first, but eventually, they can’t endure the foul smell and decided to break inside… Based on the test, it's already been two days… The apartment room was stained with blood. It is like a nightmare, two kids at a very young age and a baby were killed… The old man is well off. The motivation must be thieving. The safe is busted open and his money was taken away…”Demons aren’t the only ones who can harm humans.This crime was usual, in my home, numerous accidents like this happened.Humans can also be evil.“...The official cleaners are currently cleaning carcass of dead demon kind outside the shelter. The corpse needed to be clean immediately.”“I was wo
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
