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
Akatsuki averted the incoming danger. He managed to erase their memories and stopped them.He told them to wait. And the principal who was talking, kept talking.In the end, a volunteer was asked. They didn’t have a place to stay so a host was asked to let them stay at their place.It was home stay program.Everyone was enthusiastic but the trouble of sheltering three person was bigger than their enthusiasm.So no one wanted to. But Mizuki volunteered.She took their responsibility and the college committee was happy.The assembly was over and everyone went home.On their way, they talked.“Thank you for letting us stay at your place. I am Aisha. You can think of me as our leader.” The black haired beauty introduced herself.Mizuki looked at her.By her standard, she could easily become a model.“But I noticed that you looked at one person quite angrily.” Mizuki mentioned the incident where they were glaring at Akatsuki.Although Akatsuki reverted everything, he didn’t revert that.S
Mizuki POVGetting behind the bushes I went behind them.Not directly behind but just bit away. I could hear them talk.“Hey Lilith!” Akatsuki asked.“What is it?” The woman said. Maybe her nickname or something.“What is it like being married?” (A)“That came out of nowhere.” “L”“It’s something I’ve been wondering. I have never been married. So I don’t know.” (A)“It’s fun. We live together. Do everything together. And you won’t feel lonely.” “L”“Is that so? I still don’t get.” (A)“How about you get married too!!” “L”“No. That would be suicidal. Also who will marry me? The biggest question is that.” (A)“Don’t say that. There are plenty of girls. Someone will take you.” “L”“Haaaahhhh.” (A)“That’s a deep sigh. ”L”“Never mind, where is Lucifer?” (A)“Gone to pick up our daughter.” “L”“She’s in high school and you still go to pick her up.” (A)“Something he insists on doing. He says that it keeps the pests around her in check.” “L”“And yet, he offers he his daughter. That guy i
Mizuki ran off. She ran to her home and stopped only when she had reached it. She was panting heavily. And was in deep thoughts. About what she heard. How much of it made sense. But what was bothering her the most would be her feelings.She was angry. She was angry with him. She could not explain it.She only met him three months ago. She didn’t even know who he was.And yet, her heart ached. It ached and it wasn’t clear why. Her mind was in turmoil.She didn’t enter the house even though she was standing at the doorstep.But then she took a deep breath.“I have to calm down.” She told herself.And after fixing her clothes, she entered.It was almost evening but she wasn’t particularly late or anything.She introduced the trio to her family and explained the reason.They happily took them in. And it was decided that the room next to Mizuki’s would be used as their bedroom.After eating dinner and preparing their beds they were chatting with Mizuki.“So I would like to know how you me
Akatsuki and the girls were sitting in a family restaurant. A common place with not too many people.It was afternoon. So not many people would be there anyway.“So, I wanted to talk about you three coming here. Who was it that proposed this plan?” Akatsuki asked with a somewhat severe tone.“Well, it was actually us giving his majesty the king a new idea. It was a plan that Leah thought of and I proposed.” Aisha answered.“Haahhhh. You know, you coming here is in itself is a pain. You gave me a shock.” (A)“Sorry. But you are no good. You just vanished. Do you know how much we searched for you.” Aisha said.“Sorry. But I had some things to take care of. Oh, Mizuki, this all is probably not making any sense to you.” Akatsuki asked Mizuki.“No. I got most of it. After all, I asked about them.” Mizuki answered.“Ohh.” Akatsuki gave a blank comment.“But, you said you are going on a trip. Why is that?” (M)“Just felt like it. I think I should invite your father too.” Akatsuki said with a
“What could you be implying?” Mizuki tried to play it cool.But her eyes were not still. They were moving all over the place. Lilith took note of this.“No. Just saying. That day when I was talking to Akatsuki in the park, you were there. Right behind a bush. Too sneaky and perfect. Akatsuki may not have noticed you, but I did.” (L)“Again, I am asking what are trying to say? Are you saying that I am stalking him?” Mizuki was still not admitting it.“If you want to play it like that that’s cool. But, I know. You are very worried about him. You can’t explain why yourself, right?” (L)“Haaaahhh. It pains me to admit it but it is right.” Mizuki gave in.Which caused her mother to frantically look at her.“When I first saw him, he was a weirdo. Then I met him. I kept meeting him and one day I saw him. With your husband.” Mizuki said to Lilith.“Then, I kept watching him. And even today as he confessed to Momoko and gave her a flower bouquet, we watched him. But I can’t explain this feeli
AKATSUKI POVI was meeting with my father. I was with Mizuki and those three a little while ago. But I left after saying that I am going on a trip. I even called it a guys trip. Although I planned on going on a trip. But I guess, I got fired up. I ask Lucifer. He gives his thumbs up. And dad is no problem. Since I said that father would be with us so I thought of picking him up.I was waiting for him in front of his office. He came out after waiting for a little bit.I approached him.“Hello, Mr. Shinomiya.” I called out to him.He looked at me carefully. “I am Akatsuki. I am your neighbor.” I said.“Ohh. So you are the one who moved next door to us.” He said.“Yes. Can I have a bit of your time?” I asked him.“Why not?” He said.He always had been an easygoing person. So quickly accompanied me to a cafe nearby.We took seat and I called my dad and Lucifer.They came just a moment later we took seat.“So I was thinking of arranging a trip.” I said.“A trip you say!” He was looking
