MIZUKI POV

I 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

    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

    All of them fainted. And they didn’t know how. Just one voice spoke. And after that it’s a blackout.The first one to regain consciousness was Mizuki.Although Juno was a god and Lilith was a demon, it was Mizuki who first came to.“Uuuu… Where am I?” She tried to get up and open her eyes.She then opened her eyes which was heavy like a heavy drowsiness was stopping her.But she opened her eyes. And she found everyone lying around her.“Hoooohh. Someone has woken up.” A woman came to the room.The room itself was nothing special. A normal living room and they were all lying on a carpet. The ceiling was high and it was decorated with many decorations. It gave a distinct feeling of it being a mansion.It certainly looked old to Mizuki.She quickly looked around and tried to calm herself and thought.The woman sat on a sofa and pointed at Mizuki to sit on the other one.Mizuki tried to get up but she staggered. Nevertheless, she stood up and sat down on the sofa.“I thought it would b

    We came at a wrong time

    I am currently with Constant. We are headed for the human world.“I say the human world but it was actually created by one of the humans. There exists a plenty of human worlds. This is just one of them.” (Constant)He said that and now we are walking through a portal he created.The portal left us at a field. It’s a normal field. “This is a world that was created by one of my friends. This is also my first time coming here. Let’s find a city or town.” (Constant)We both start walking. The area is nice. It’s sunny but not hot. The wind is gently blowing caressing my whole body. Somehow, I get the feeling that I know this sensation.After walking for about 15 minutes, we arrive at a small town. It looks like a medieval town. Stone houses and stone paved roads. It has proper water drainage system and the town’s folk look clean. “The town is called Solomon. It is named after a wise king. Today is supposed to be a festival. But what, I don’t know.” (Constant)So a festival. The town is k

    A day from his memories

    After he got ready, we left that place. I don’t know where that is but we left it anyway. He tapped on a portion of the wall and it opened revealing a spiral portal.“Off we go.” He said and jumped into it. I also did. Portals like this are basically connected to a random place. I don’t know where I would end up at.After coming out, I see a residential area, I think. Concrete road, houses on each sides and a pond. Seriously, a pond. This is the first time, I am seeing an open pond.I find Constant sitting on a bench by the pond. The pond is kinda green. And it’s dirty.“See, this is the area I spent my childhood in.” (Constant)“Hoohhh…then you grew up here?”“Yes. It holds a special meaning to me. Behind us is a library. It doesn’t look like it though.” (Constant)He points at a pink building. It has something written on it but I can’t read that. I sit by him. Despite being dirty, this pond is kinda calming.“You see, to our left is my school.” (Constant)He pointed to our left and

    We have a good chemistry

    After a good night’s sleep, I woke up. I don’t even know if a night has actually passed or not but I woke up exactly when my body usually tells me to. I will assume a night has passed. Constant, my so called creator, is sleeping on his bunk. I get out of bed and look for the kitchen. But wait, this is just a white room. Does this even have a kitchen?But my question was answered. A portion opened up and I could see a kitchen like space. It has everything a normal household kitchen has.Maybe it has everything necessary and for the ingredients, I open the fridge and find everything. It has different types of meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, all sorts of condiments and what not. Hell, even deserts were there. The fridge definitely uses spatial manipulation to store more things. I take out some eggs and bacon. I open the down drawer and find rice. Let’s have it for lunch. But now I need bread. I open the big metal door which was beside the fridge and see stairs.It leads

    Meeting my creator

    A few days have passed since all of those. I am back at my own house in the world I was born in. Mizuki, Mary, Selena and Nino live with me.Life has been well. I feel that my journey is over. But a sense of discomfort still lingers. Why do I feel so unsatisfied? I can’t describe this feeling. But something is amiss.Is it over? My story was such a short one. I can’t even believe it myself. The discomfort in me grows. All of them are out shopping. I am currently house-sitting. I am bored. Maybe that’s why I felt like that? I close my eyes and kinda doze of.◇◇◇◇◇“Wake up, Akatsuki.” I hear a voice. A man’s voice but it’s similar to mine. I open my eyes to find myself. Eh!! I am looking at myself.“Don’t make such a stupid face. I am not you.” The mysterious guy who looks like me says. But if he isn’t me then who is he?“This is the first time I am meeting you. You can call me whatever you want. Father, brother, god, author…anything you want. Because I am all of them.” What is th

    Another long explanation

    Currently I am at my house. Mary and Mizuki have been summoned to this world as heroes. Selena came as Selene’s priestess. The Valkyries have become their guides and Medea is responsible for all of this.However, staying there was kind of uncomfortable so I teleported all of us to my house. My house is not big enough to house everyone so I expanded it with spatial magic.We are all sitting on sofas with me in the center. Mizuki and Mary are quite at me. Selene was talking to me and she sounded angry as well. Midway through, she changed with Selena. Medea is tittering and I am very tired.“Do tell me Akatsuki, what have you been doing these 5000 years?” (Selene)“It’s confusing if you keep changing with Selena. But mostly sleeping I guess. I went on a short trip after my deal was over and then came here, dug a hole and fell asleep. I woke up a few days ago when they found this place.”I point at the Valkyries. They became stiff. “So, you have been sleeping for 5000 years. Sounds total

    Summoning

    And the day of the summoning came. As I promised, I am at the summoning point where Medea will summon them. The point is actually a platform which is inside the castle premises.I asked Medea if it was alright to come and she gave me her yes. I teleported immediately with Aisha, Belle and Leah in tow.When I finished teleporting, I was met with a small squadron of armed combatants. They were ready for something.And when I stood in the room, they pointed their spears towards me. I am tired of this. I see everyone is present. I see a gaudy chair on which a middle aged man is sitting. He has a different aura from the rest and is probably the king.He is sitting behind a big golden chair. Probably for Medea. When the king saw me, he jumped. I can see his veins bulging. I see Medea standing in the middle of a circular podium. She is smirking at me.“Medea, enough of your tricks. You clearly didn’t tell them that I was coming, did you?” She just stuck her tongue out and made an oops fac

    Learning of important things

    (Aisha POV)We have reached Akatsuki’s house. I mean, the plain he lives in. However, how do we enter? He lives underneath this plain.“Belle, can you cut this land with your sword?” I ask Belle. But she nodded sideways. She can’t. I knew that she can’t. Why did I ask something so impractical of her?But the ground split open and the stairs were visible. Maybe he is letting us in.“Let’s go.” (Leah)Leah is really eager to meet him again. Maybe because he is the unknown. As a mage, her instincts are telling her to investigate him.We go down the stairs and knock on the wooden door. And the door opens. Behind the door, we see Akatsuki.“Welcome again. I was waiting for you to arrive.” (Akatsuki)He said. We enter and he closed the door. Then he led us to the sofa and we took seats.“I know that you have many questions. I will try to answer them as easily as possible.” (Akatsuki)He took a breath and said. He actually knew that we would ask him many questions.“So, who are you?” I cou

    Random thoughts

    Hello. Nice to meet you. I am the author and the narrator of this god forsaken and bad story.I generally don’t interfere with the story however, I messed up so badly that I had to interfere not once, not twice but three times.It just happened because I messed up the pacing. I put so many traits in this story, so many cliches that messed the story that I had to restart.I would say that the reboot is going well however I am getting impatient. I don’t have a specific ending planned.Who am I kidding? I am a guy who is spending his time, aimlessly for the last 250 billion years.So yeah, I want a break. I think at the end of the story, I would invite Akatsuki.He is basically my better half and we would have a nice chat. After that, I would quit as an author and go on a trip. My shut in days have continued long enough. It’s time to face reality which I totally despised.Now let’s go back to the story. Akatsuki has met Medea and the Valkyries.

    The three of them are fully equipped. Two days have passed since then. They are going there again to investigate.“Should we really go back?” (Aisha)“Yes. That’s a mystery. As adventurers, we can’t let a mystery stay a mystery. We have to unravel it and take the treasure.” (Belle)“You two just want the treasure!” (Aisha)Aisha was spot on.

That sounds like a legend.” (Belle)“But it does. Now, let’s get moving.” (Leah)Leah was unusually enthusiastic. Probably because of the mystery.They keep walking but something entered their sight.
