Back at home, I’m currently in my room preparing for what I should bring to our mission tomorrow. I bought a light armor and a new dagger made of a demon heart. Weapons made of demon hearts can be called artifacts, but they are still different from the first artifacts made. I am glad that I’m able to meet up with Nico who opened a new shop located near Artemis city. His weapon is all top notch and I can’t find a smith like him ever again. Nico is one of a kind. He mentioned that my new dagger is made of demon kind that could drain out the skill of other creatures, Drain dagger (Drain Dagger. Ability: Energy drain. Like the name implies it sucked energy from the target to the user by damaging the target.) Using this dagger’s ability, I could replenish my energy while in battle. This dagger is like a cheat ability. Charlotte had trouble using her energy. She’s strong but her energy is very limited. An item like this in her possession would make her stronger for sure. The high prie
“I can see it with my eyes, but I will still ask you why… Why does Choco seem angry?” “Nothing important…” She averted her face for a second and went back to me. “Even in the spirit world, I do feel upset sometimes… Let’s not talk about my feelings. I congratulate you on doing a great job retrieving a divine gem.” “Could you tell me more about the divine gems? There are lots of things I want to know. Like why the dark goddess is being clingy to me. Did you know her?” “That’s a lot of questions at once… We did have a time limit. I think you're reasonable. A long time ago there were six goddesses: fire, wind, water, earth, light, and dark. Everyone didn’t know there was a seventh goddess of Null. She is one of a kind because she is the only goddess who has full control of all the elemental energy in the whole universe… She was kind and helpful to other people when, suddenly out of nowhere, she became reckless and planned to destroy everything. She goes to steal each gem from the oth
“This place looks deserted I wonder where is everyone,” Charlotte said. “This is perfect looks like no one has noticed our presence. Let’s hurry up and finish this job quickly.” Princess said and take the lead. She gave her head turned left and right. Searching for the rat demon kind infesting the city. We departed from Artemis city to Eterna city early in the morning, the sun is nowhere to be found yet and the surrounding filled with chilly morning fog. The whole sky was still covered with complete darkness. Dark clouds covered the stars above. The place looks like a residential place, but there is no one there. It feels abandoned. “What’s wrong with princess today? She looks very tense. Normally, she would sit down looking pretty and let us take all the work.” Kisara muttered. “Don’t talk to me like that. I’m not lazying around on our mission. You’re both powerful. The mission ended without any casualties. As a support healer. There is nothing for me to do.” “Yeah, but when
He’s not harmed by my attack? Observing him… I noticed that his body was enveloped by black liquid. Those aren’t black liquid, those are shadows. He used his ability to save his bacon. I could feel my feet having cold as I look at him. I made my strongest attack but it did not affect him. Making me lose some hope. No, calm down… I fought many battles already. A battle where I always put into a corner. This battle is no different I have to stay calm and think of a way to win. I’m not the same person as before. I’m not the same red who continues to rely on others. I want to save people… I sound hypocritical but that's why I’m fighting. I can’t lose here… I can’t die here. I must destroy anyone blocking my way to my goal. I leaped n the dark shade. Concealing my whole body in darkness. I took out one of my daggers and threw it. Together with the dagger, I dashed forward in a different direction. The dagger was intercepted by Night. “Using your weapon as projectile this time… It’s
“It's useless my flame ability is not working against this iron cell.” Kisara angrily said while she continued with her flaming fist. She distanced herself and resorted to a powerful flaming kick. It made a loud sound but it didn’t break anything. Beside Kisara’s prison cell was Princess seemingly depressed. She touched the iron and inspect it. “This iron must have materials from white iron. White iron is known how nullifying any supernatural force. It is the perfect prison cell for ability users… Therefore, You’re just wasting your energy Kisara.” “But I can’t just stand here and wait Charlotte is been caught and listening to your story. I have to save her no matter what. I don’t want her to go back to her hellish life.” Kisara retorted. Several hours already passed when we were caught. Another masked man in all black appeared to take Charlotte away from us. For this time, he was wearing a pure white lab coat. “Found you again…” He muttered before he left. I know for sure the
“The half-naked girl early this morning.” Kisara said. Night's face turned red. It did happen this morning, but it’s a detail that someone should not say. Kisara can just say. Hey, it’s the girl this morning. I brushed off the two girls sitting on me as I stood up. I have difficulty trusting this woman, but it won’t change the fact that it is the very reason why we’re still alive now. Turning my glance around, I could see myself inside a library. Tall bookshelves all aligned and the silent atmosphere. “Thank you for helping us.” “We’ll I’m not helping you because I wanted…” “What do you mean by that?” I said. “I’m going straight… I’m only helping you three because I know that you’re the only three people who could help Charlotte flee.” “What is your connection to Charlotte anyway?” Kisara asked. That’s right, earlier this morning. She called Charlotte, as they knew each other. Princess told me that Charlotte couldn’t remember her past. Probably, this girl is Charlotte’s acq
“I want to talk with your mother.” Charlotte said to the woman with incredible beauty seating on the bed. The woman turned her body upon hearing Charlotte’s voice. Mother?! My eyes widen in surprise. I thought she is a clone of the strongest being alive. This is not making any sense to me. She does have similarities to her. She’s more like an adult version of Charlotte. “So you’ve become stable after remembering everything. How’d you able to do that?” “I merely think that all my memories are true. All of those memories hold feelings in my heart. Some of it might be a lie. But I decided to continue cherishing them.” “Cherishing every memory… I’m pleased with what you’ve become.” “Mother, please stop this madness… You’re the only one who can stop everything that is happening here.” She shook her head left and right. “That’s not true at all Charlotte… I might be one of the inquisition commanders, but my power has its limits. The people in this city are slaves because they need to
I woke up but I still haven’t been able to move my body. My head is hurting because of the edge of the staircase. Yuyu had my body dragging, while Yaya had Kisara. “ He's awake… You are tough, but you can’t move, so it's useless.” Yaya said “It's only a paralyzing poison. Of course, the only difference is whether you’ll die here or on the fiftieth floor. You must be wondering, arent you? How two children like us become integrity knights, right?” Yuyu said and continued her story… “We were born and raised inside this tower. The pontiff ordered the scientists and maids to create us. To use us in an experiment to restore completely lost life with a demon-kind heart or some other way, like searching for the resurrection spell. We received our first order from the pontifex at age five. Our job is to kill each other. We were given a toy like a sword and then we’d pair off taking turns stabbing each other.” “ The Pontifex attempt at a resurrection spell was such a disaster. Many resurre
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
