It's already September!
“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
The black knight swings his giant blade in retaliation. After being directly hit by his massive force, I was blown away by about a 10-meter distance. Our strength is in a huge gap. Every time our weapons hit each other. Pain rushed to my arms and feet. I can still feel the pain from our last clash. Continuing with this would later lead to my defeat… In other words, my death. Seems like my artifacts are rendered useless in this zone too. I have to think of a plan to win. For the rabbit to defeat a dragon. The rabbit needs to be smart. That’s right, rabbit… Is big and strong. His armor is probably weighing him down. It does look heavy to me. Meanwhile, I only had light armor in me and I could move faster. Speed might be the key to this battle. Turning my glance left and right. I tried to think more about what I could do to defeat this knight. Crow approached me to attack. I immediately dodge sideways and have my dagger strike him on the side. *Clang!* My dagger hits his sturdy ar
(Charlotte’s perspective.) On the top floor of the bell tower. “Where am I? What is this place?” I asked the man in the black mask. My two hands were bound with a cuff made of special material. I couldn’t use my special abilities. I tried to let myself go, but it only resulted in paining my wrist. I'd been talking and talking to him. Asking him non-stop, but he does not say anything. Is he deaf? That’s impossible. I heard him talk earlier. I shook my head left and right. We’re continuously walking in the hallway. I was thinking of going way out by running, but there were two knights on my back and the masked guy in front of me seemed terrifying. He was an executive in the inquisition. I bet he's super strong too. Now I can’t use my abilities. I’m rendered useless. I must behave myself to survive. They led me into a room. The black masked guy opened the door and pushed me inside. “Hey! Don’t just push me like a dog.” “...” While I was complaining, he ignored me and closed
Kisara is already on her way to the 28th floor by running in the hallway. Running wasn’t the right word to describe what he was doing. Currently, she is riding her scythe like a magic broom. Then, knights who decide to block her way are immediately defeated by her flames. “There she is firing arrows!!” After the order was called, knights lined up in the hallway and fired arrows. “There are no more great knights here… The night of the man on the 26th is easy to defeat. The only people left right now are these shrimps.” Kisara charges forward, enveloping her body in a sphere of flames. Flames burned down the arrows before they could touch her. Kisara countered with a fireball, shooting at each of the knights. “Get out of my way, useless… Drag will give everyone a lesson. I’ll defeat this intruder--- Guaaahhh!” Kisara leaped from her scythe and used the handle of the scythe to thrust it into the knight's stomach. His armor crumbles apart upon receiving the great impact. As he vomit
Waking up early in the morning, and a beam of sunlight entered the room from the window and directed at my face. Irritated from the light. I turned around and buried myself under the blanket. “Wake up, Charlotte… It's already morning.” “Umm~” After hearing my groaning voice. My mother walked closer and tried to manually wake me up by forcefully taking off my comfy blanket. “Wake up already!” “So cold! I don’t want to wake up yet…” I complained and pulled the blanket from my mother's hand. “What should I do with this girl? If this continues, she will become a recluse.” “I think it's fine for her to sleep until afternoon… It's her day off after all.” The one speaking was my father. “This is why your child is becoming lazy day after day. You should stop spoiling her.” “I’m not spoiling her… I thought giving her a little freedom while she is on a day off was fine. She has school and you’re taking her to photo shoots. You should compromise on what she feels sometimes.” My mother
An explosive sound echoed on the upper floor. I’m currently on my way up, running on the stairs to the 27th floor. Is that explosion from Kisara? Reaching the 27th, there were several unconscious bodies on the floor. As I glanced closely, I saw burns that were possibly from Kisara’s fire ability. Good, I don’t have to deal with them. All I have to do is run as fast as I can to the top floor. I heard rushing stomps in the corridor. I immediately hid inside one of the rooms. I learned to take a peak and saw a squad of knights in full gear. There are about 30 of them and they are all in a hurry. “There was a demon kind that entered the Bell tower. Hurry up!” There was a. demon kind in the city. They were probably after the divine gem too. Red hurry up!! Choco nags me. There was no way I would get out of my hiding spot. I can’t waste my energy fighting these goons. Avoid contact with the enemy as much as possible. I never thought that you have a cowardly side. “It’s called strate
(Yuna’s perspective.) Ever since I was little, I thought everyone was insane. Everyone around me is working. Working as if they don’t think at all. Everyone is moving by someone’s order. Moving as if there was an invisible chain wrapped around their necks. Is everyone insane to throw their freedom away? Or is it just me who thinks like this? I questioned every day. My mother and father were both normal farmers until one day our land was destroyed by a demon kind. Having no place to go, the inquisition took us and made my parents workers. Having never been paid money, we can live in the city as long as we work. Given daily with stale tasteless bread. We are forced to mine fuel coal every single day. How are they allowing this to happen? My parents and everyone. I was baffled by that realization. As someone who was born from the outside. I do have dreams. I want to go out and see the world for myself. There was a book I used to read. A book containing wonderful places around the 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
