{Mizuki POV}I was shocked at the news. At first I thought that he was not serious. But at the start of summer vacation, he really moved out.He gave us his address. It was in Shibuya. Only two stations away from here.He moved out and started living there. The house was finally free of him. Mother was in a good mood since he moved out.Father was also. But I couldn’t calm down. I need to have a good talk with him.So on August 9th I went there. I looked at the address. It was correct. A three story apartment complex.His room was on the second floor. So I went upstairs and saw his name on the door.I pressed the bell. But no one answered. I tried knocking but it was the same.Maybe he wasn’t at home. So I went down and started looking around.“What are you doing here?” Someone asked me from behind.I jumped back in shock and looked at the person who snuck up on me.It was my brother. He was standing behind me with a convenience store bento in his hand.“Don’t scare me like that.” I s
Akatsuki went to the library with Zeus. The library is a place where the records of each world is recorded.It has no regards for time. It has both the past and the future records. So it should have that world’s records too.What Akatsuki did and his previous consciousness is also stored there.They arrived at the library. It’s a huge cross dimensional space.It exists in all space and time. It travels through the space and always changes it’s location.“We are here.” Zeus said pointing at a flying castle. It’s floating and it’s huge. Akatsuki saw a scene that couldn’t be described. It was unimaginable.But he kept his calm face on.“Yeah. Now tell me about the mess I made.” He said to Zeus.“Yeah. Let’s get in and start our research.” Zeus said and they entered the library.They immersed themselves in research. Time doesn’t exist in the library. So they don’t have to worry about time passing.Meanwhile, both Mizuki and Momoko are at Akatsuki’s apartment. It’s almost evening. But the
Both of them left Akatsuki’s apartment and started walking towards the station. It was a little past 6. “But if I go to your house right now, wouldn’t it be awkward?” Momoko asked.“No. I’ll handle it.” Mizuki said.They were walking to the station when they came across both of them again.Akatsuki and Zeus were walking. But Akatsuki looked a bit tipsy.Like he was drunk or something. Zeus was supporting him.They went to the nearest park and sat on the bench.They were curious so they eavesdropped on their conversation once again.“You shouldn’t drink more.” Zeus was telling Akatsuki to stop drinking.“Don’t………worryyyyy.” He couldn’t even say a thing properly.“See. You are weak to alcohol.” Zeus sighed.“Who said I was weak.” The next moment he was sober. Like he wasn’t drunk at all.“So what was before?” Zeus asked.“I increased my metabolism to burn the alcohol.” He said.“You truly have surpassed humans.” Zeus was shocked and annoyed at the same time.“It’s nothing.” Akatsuki sh
Mizuki went home with Momoko in tow. Although she informed her parents beforehand, they were still a bit perturbed to see her.As she was supposed to be the victim. But they didn’t say anything to the both of them and only greeted her politely.“Am I not intruding? Your parents look really uncomfortable?” Momoko was feeling guilty for suddenly springing this situation.“No. Don’t be sorry. They just don’t know how to respond to what is happening. They’ll come to understand it soon.” Mizuki showed a smile.It was currently 9 at night. They are preparing to sleep.Though Momoko was offered her own room she stayed at Mizuki’s room.It was logical as they would be able to speak and they need to clear their minds before meeting Zeus again.“So then, how about we summarize everything?” Momoko proposed the idea.It would be better to get a good idea about what they are getting into. So she proposed the idea.Mizuki, who is always smart, understood her plan and went along.“We know that Akats
Zeus was breaking down the situation to the both of them. But then he suddenly brought up another person.She was supposed to be Akatsuki’s sister created from his research data. Both of them were angry. So angry that they would’ve murdered Zeus. But they didn’t. They kept their anger in check and asked Zeus.Mizuki asked first,“So why does he have to go before they meet each other?” Mizuki was speaking in an ice cold voice. So cold that even Zeus felt a chill. But Momoko was no good either.“Well, you see, she was created to be the best. What Akatsuki couldn’t become. But as long as he’s alive, she won’t be the only one. So she was ordered to kill him. She’s coming here. To kill him.” Zeus said.The story was getting weirder. It left the realm of common sense a while ago. But now it’s trying to break the reality.Mizuki didn’t say anything and Momoko was looking like she had nothing to ask anymore.“Umm.. are we done?” Zeus meekly asked.But they didn’t say a single word. They ju
That day was April of 2028. It was the beginning of a new semester. Mizuki was a sophomore of college.She got up early because she was pumped up about new year.So she got ready and left. She was pretty happy about the new semester.When she left the house, she saw Momoko.She was going to her office. “Good morning.” Mizuki greeted her.“Oh. Mizuki. Good morning. Doing well?” She asked.“Yeah. Today my new term begins.” Mizuki said to her.“How nice! When I was in college all that happened. So I couldn’t enjoy it.” Momoko lamented.“Don’t be so sad. But you are finally working. So how about finding a guy and settling down.” Mizuki suggested.“Yeah. I have thought about it. But lately I feel like I forgot about someone.” She said.“You forgot? Who was it?” Mizuki asked.“I don’t remember. But I get a feeling that he was important and I used to care for him.” Momoko said.“Him? And you cared for him. But isn’t that your misunderstanding?” (Mizuki)“Maybe. But this hazy feeling won’t g
After that Mizuki went home. But the next day, when she was going to college, she saw a truck outside.She took a closer look to find it a moving truck. Someone moved into the house next to theirs.“Ohhh. That house had been empty for a while. So someone moved in. Maybe I should say hello once I am back.” She said that and left. On her way, she met Momoko. She was going to the station.Meeting with her and going yo the station together was their regular routine.“How are you this morning Mizuki?” She asked.“Fine. But I saw a weird family yesterday.”“Weird? How so?” Momoko was intrigued.Mizuki told her about the gloomy guy and his parents.“So someone like that exists.” Momoko was surprised to know that such an eccentric family existed.“Yes. But I still have a hard time believing it.” Mizuki voiced her doubt.“Don’t let it bother you. There are all kinds of people out there.” Momoko just told her to not let it bother her.Then they separated and they went there usual ways.Aftern
MIZUKI POVI saw him. The guy named Akatsuki. He is a weird guy. He talks in a weird manner. And he gives me the impression that he knows.But I have never met him in my entire life. I only saw him two days ago. And then he became my neighbor. But the next day I find out that he is also in my college.Not as a student but a janitor. He was mopping a floor when I met him this morning.After lunch, I was going back to my class. But there I saw him.He was behaving weird. Like talking to himself.Then he suddenly finished his work and went somewhere. I was kinda suspicious.So I followed him. He was going behind the building where a bunch of bushes are.But when I went, I saw nothing of those bushes.Instead a bench was present and he sat on it.It was far from me. I stayed behind the building so he wouldn’t notice me. And after a moment there was a guy. Sitting beside him.But I didn’t see him. I saw nothing. I think I blinked.And after opening my eyes, I found him. He was just sit
