As I exited Midori’s room, Mrs. Tanaka greeted me in the dining room as she mopped the entire area. Mrs. Tanaka lowered her head and aplogised to me that she hadn’t touched the room and became an entire mess when I came to visit. But after a few seconds, the topic trailed off as Midori’s mother blamed me for not telling her I would come and visit the house. It was insane. But instead of pointing that out, I just laughed the conversation out and helped her clean the house.
Mothers. Everyone should love them for who they are.
When we finished cleaning the rooms, Mrs. Tanaka offered me a meal to thank me for everything I did. While we were doing our chores, Mrs. Tanaka was also preparing a dish that was both Midori and my favourite. It was curry and a burger - a classic and a cheap dish, which I describe as a decent meal.
“Where did all the food come from?” Hina asked, as she poked at the bento box and opened its lid. She whiffed the scent of spices from the lunch box, nearly eating it with her nose alone. As the aroma sank inside in her mind, vibrant colours emerged from Hina’s eyes. “It really is curry. But it doesn’t look like you bought it from a convenience store. Well, I doubt that could happen. Nobody can cook curry this perfect, not unless it’s…” A moment of silence enveloped inside the hospital room as Hina recognised the origin of this curry. As soon as she realised it, Hina gingerly glanced in my direction and hopelessly reached her hands on top of my shoulder. But before she could even rest her palm, I caught her arm and, instead, gave her a warm hug. Hina didn’t expect this to happen. I didn't either. Hina widen
Hina’s Perspective_____________________“Let their little sisters be a heavy weight for the family?”“No.”“Watching you risk yourself, while your sister worries about you everyday?”“Well, if you put it like that. I…”“Aoi…”I didn’t know what had happened to them. When I said those words, it felt as if I was cursing them out to Aoi. He was my brother. And he will always be my brother. But I had no clue if I deserved everything he had given to me. Aoi saved me and showed me the path that I should’ve taken years ago. Well I… I just conti
Hina’s Perspective ___________________ “Here we are! My office!” Doctor Maruki enthusiastically said, as he spread his arms and introduced me to the front door with a sign saying “office’ in the middle. I was not gonna lie. I expected something out of Doctor Maruki’s office, especially when he himself told me extravagant things about it. This place was at the dead last of the entire building. There were no patients or anyone roaming around the setting. Even the nurse’s station was on the other side, which was a two minutes walk from his room. Doctor Maruki narrated that his office was one of a kind, which would blow my mind. But I couldn’t help but fathom what was special about an adult’s office, let alone a physician inside the hospital. Fortunately, my
Hina’s Perspective ______________________ “Drink it? Are you nuts? I don’t even know what’s inside this bot-...” “Some rocks that I plucked out from the golems, ginger, blue crystals, salt, pepper, a little bit of faerie dust, and - the secret ingredient - mana herbs. What you lack is mana. That’s what my alchemist class tells me. When you’ve faced a life-threatening scenario, you’ve controlled your powers before. Am I correct?” I nodded. “Did you feel something when you conjured those walls?” Doctor Maruki hit the nail. When Aoi fought the Grim Reaper, I supported him at the back lines. He had a sniper, while I had just found out that I could summon walls out of nothing. An
Prime Minister of Japan - Yoshitsugu Akihiko’s Perspective (This will happen one month where we have left the main story) ______________________________ It had been days since the first time Akai and I held conferences, meetings, and conversations about portals. But no matter how hard I tried explaining it to the Crimson Guild, Akai and Kei - the guild master and the appraiser, always said the same thing. “We want power. Give me the jurisdiction to promote law and order as an official in the government of Japan, and I shall give our people protection,” Kei stated, as he pounded fist on the table. Akai hadn’t arrived yet for our meeting, so Kei was responsible for communicating with me and other officials. I g
Prime Minister of Japan - Yoshitsugu Akihiko’s Perspective____________________________________________The Dragon’s Den was a portal that recently emerged near Simuda. According to my secretary, the portal was around Tokyo, specifically Tokyo skytree. It devoured everyone surrounding it, including my daughter. Her classmates invited her to visit such a place without my permission. Although I had eyes and ears near her, my people couldn’t react in time and got transferred inside the distortion. Nobody else knew that my daughter was there, excluding the people that were brought inside the portal. And as stated by Akai, communications were severed. It only meant that we didn’t have any means of communicating with the people trapped inside the portal.Akai explained everything related to The Dra
???? Perspective______________________Even though I had killed his parents, that brat still continued on living. I wanted HIM to be vengeful and feel hatred just like me. I lost my parents. And I knew that was the only way for that boy to get stronger and strike his revenge for me.But regardless of my attempts, that boy didn’t fall into his doom. It was as if someone had pulled him back up and was a completely different person than me. He wasn’t someone I had thought that kid would be. After all I did to him - killing his parents and giving hints where to find me, I never broke the lad’s spirits. Well, I knew that was bound to happen. That boy was someone I knew too well.Even so, I still needed to try. It was the only way for me to make him st
Aoi’s Perspective________________________“It’s around here somewhere.”I already left the hospital and immediately went straight to Shibuya Subway, where Midori found me a blacksmith that could help me refine my weapon. As I strolled around the place, hundreds of people passed me by. But none of them looked like they were adventurers or entering inside the portal. Although Midori had already reminded me that the portal was something unknown to the public, my system never found out throughout the station.And then I remembered. The place that Midori instructed me to go was to go through a bathroom and enter the last cubicle. From there, I should knock at the wall ten times and stomp my feet three times. I didn’t know how Midori discovered i
