Dark..so dark. Why is it this dark? I thought before the scene in front of me slowly became brighter as I decided to open my eyes. The first thing that appeared in my vision was The sky was blood red, as if someone had smeared fresh blood all over the sky. The ground was barren and there was no sound of life. There was only a small puddle of water drying up next to where I was lying down.

"Damn it! Where is this place?” I sat up with difficulty and looked around for a moment. Before I was shocked, my eyes turned to see my reflection in the puddle of water.

"W-What? What is this!?" I hurriedly moved closer to the water, ignoring the ache in my body that invaded me every time the machine moved. and immediately picked up his hair and looked at it Before I had to stop, now it's not like before. Turning to look at the reflection in the water further confirmed my suspicions that I had not wanted to think about.

..I..am not a heavenly person anymore...

As soon as that thought arose, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart. ..I have been betrayed by the land I love. I shook my head, clearing away the many thoughts that had suddenly popped into my head before turning my attention to my changing identity.

The outline of my face remains the same. Hair that was once golden and beautiful like the sun had now changed to pure silver. Hair that used to be long to the middle of the back has been shortened to a length that is not only shoulder length. There was a strand of hair on the right side that went all the way down to the waist. Skin that was already white became even more pale.

Until it turns me into a walking corpse. Eyes that were once as blue as the deep ocean waters had turned redder than the sky above. And the last thing that confirms my identity right now is that A pair of large wings in the middle of the back that were previously pure white. Now it had been swallowed up by darkness until it had become blacker than any night.

"..Huh..Ha!Ha Ha!!" I couldn't help but laugh at my patheticness right now. I have truly been abandoned. Betrayed by someone I trusted..

“Damn!!” I gritted my teeth as my hands dug into the ground. When I think of the reason why I ended up here, A sharp pain in the chest and abdomen came up that could not be stopped. Even though there really weren't any scars left.

“Healing a demon's wound..” Even though there aren't any scars left now, I can still feel the feeling when you betrayed my trust. When you guys used the Nine Heavens Iron Pillar to seal me without warning, Just because they wanted to kill me..

Why ? What did I do wrong? Why did even you..why did you betray me? Karos!! That's enough! If I turn into a demon I will destroy you even more than you have done to me. Whether it's you or Kanood!!!

“Hey, can you keep your cool?” A mysterious voice quietly came from behind. It made me flinch. The murderous intent that was accidentally released disappeared in the blink of an eye. Damn it! Please, even though I'm a man, I'd still be shocked!!

As soon as I turned to look at the source of the voice, I immediately felt the urge to protect my eyesight. ..Who even sent you to be born as handsome as a heavenly being like this? Without realizing it, I had accidentally looked around and surveyed the owner of the mysterious voice in front of me. The owner of the mysterious voice was a young man who was about 180 cm tall, the same height as me.

It has skin that is even more pale than mine right now. My short, black hair is like wings right now. And beautiful emerald green eyes that were the color of a deadly curse in the Forbidden Bible..

Book of Cursed Angel 

"..Are you a demon?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. Well, if this place really was the land of darkness, then it wouldn't be wrong if the person in front of me. be a devil ..was seen by a demon in this condition. It's really pathetic..

"Where is that?" Hmm? You read my mind, wait? Read minds! You read my mind! This guy is a very rude demon! This is my personal space!!

"What about personally? Well, I'm just about to read it." Sure! There is also a raised eyebrow that bothers my lower organs!! Be careful, or it will be stamped on your face!!!

"..So you lost and bullied me?" You said in a voice as low as a whisper, but I'm sorry! I heard !!

"Say it so I can hear you," he countered deadpanly. But, if you meant to speak for me, then why didn't you whisper!?

"Just to let you know that you were being rude to me by eavesdropping on what I was saying." Ha! Wait! In conclusion, I was wrong!! I'm stunned. It was my mistake to push my ears too hard! Are you going crazy? If it were you, wouldn't you hear it!? Two people together in a place where there's no sound at all. There's not much distance between them. Seriously!

Why aren't you listening?

"Just pretend like nothing ever happened." That's easy..I've really never met anyone like you..

“If I were on your side, wouldn't it be very different from mine? ..What person insists that I can stay? Knowing and knowing that I can read minds, I still refuse to block my own thoughts..." Uh..So I guess I'm wrong? It was a mistake for not keeping my thoughts in mind. I'm tired.. If I could do it, I would have done it a long time ago!!

"oh ! Still don't know how to use your powers." Oh! Now that I know, I'll ask again!! If you want to ridicule me, just say so!!

"Shall I teach you?"

"Ha! What did you say!!" Laugh.. Laugh. I know how funny my face is right now. But you don't have to laugh that much..

"Well--Oops! Ha ha! N--Your face is funny." Definitely! Haven't stopped yet. I'm starting to get really annoyed.

“I'm sorry!!” I screeched down. ..What day is this? In addition to just falling from heaven It still had to come from the Laughing Devil. I really feel pathetic..

/"You are the same as your older sister! You're a disaster!!" A handsome young man looked. Pearly white skin His hair and eyes were bright gold. Shouting at me for asking for help without showing any signs of stopping. That made me feel as if time in the entire world had stopped..is this it?

Is this what the Lord of Heaven was supposed to say to me? I have always respected and been loyal to you!!

“W-What are you talking about? This is not something you are here to joke about! Please, Lord of Heaven! My sister is about to be killed by your knight! Please order them to let my brother go!!” I argued, hoping that the Lord of Heaven was only teasing me.

"Ha ha ha! You probably think I'm kidding you!! Heh, my knight, please take him and execute him like his older sister!!” As soon as the Heaven Lord's command was finished, many knights around rushed over and grabbed the helpless me.

“What do you mean?!” I shouted in a hoarse voice. I felt a tightness in my throat and something inside of me felt like it was about to burst out.

"Huh! It's like this! Karos!!” The Lord of Heaven shouted. Before that, I was completely shocked by a young man with short, crimson hair. Amethyst eyes walked in, holding my sister's gruesomely severed head without a trace. ..my friend? My closest friend is holding my sister's head!!

Thump!

The sound of the head hitting the glass floor of the temple reverberated everywhere. Amber eyes were bright today but were dull and devoid of any signs of life. Her long, beautiful, light pink hair was now completely tangled. Drops of blood splattered across the temple floor as if to remind me of the reality at this time. ..no more I'm not here anymore..

"It's not true! Why ? Why do you have to do this!?” I hugged my older sister's cold head tightly. My trembling body began to twitch violently. My body began to heat up uncontrollably. Something in his body exploded without realizing it.

Can't..can't forgive!!

All at once!

It was as if something in his body was torn. A strong wind blew and the temple shook. Many people began to scream horribly. Drops of blood splattered all over the temple floor. The last thing I saw was the stunned face of Lord of Heaven Ganood and former close friend. 'Karos' before all my consciousness disappeared completely.

It hurts..why does it hurt this much? I forced my eyes open as a sudden surge of pain shot through me. My entire body felt heavy, as if chains had spread to the ground. Around me right now, there were many corpses strewn all over the ground, each one of them dying a gruesome death.

Blood splattered everywhere wherever you looked. Before the shaking image on the temple's glass wall made me nearly lose my mind and fly away again.

My body is now covered in blood. There are many iron pillars embedded in my body. With each pillar penetrating my body until it stuck to the floor of this temple. It was as if I was pinned to the ground so that I couldn't escape. Blood continued to flow from the wound without stopping. A surge of pain shot through me every time I forced myself to move.

His eyes became blurry and all consciousness was about to disappear again as a result of the excessive blood loss. If it weren't for the sound of the door opening in the hall calling me to my senses.

"Oh, oh~ You're not dead yet? Truly worthy of being the scourge of the Millennial Prophecy.” Ganood approached me, sneering all the way.

Again..disaster again..did I do something so wrong that I have to use this word? I could only clenched my fists to block out all the anger. before trying to speak in a hoarse voice Each word that was trying to be conveyed at this time was extremely difficult..

"W-why ? Why does it have to be me?"

"Huh~ You don't know that? Well, it took all these years for me to find out." Kanood said with a charming smile..but please! I'm not lost!!

"Oh, should I tell you?"

“Stop fooling around, Kanood!!” I shouted as loudly as I could. Without warning, Ganood kicked me hard in the face. Until it made me spit out blood and couldn't stop. Blood was gushing out from the wound even more than before. Before the anger that was trying to be suppressed would gradually erupt out. When Ganood spat at me and said sarcastically to my sister.

If you're talking about just me I can still accept it..but even my sister! You won't give up at all!!

"How dare you call my name! He's really just a lost bastard. Huh! It's because of this that your father and mother abandoned you! Who wants to have a lost person as their child? Even my older sister is just a whore--!!” Without waiting for Ganood to finish speaking, the many killing intents I had released immediately slashed towards Ganood.

In truth, Ganood's body should have already been shattered if it weren't for his traitorous friend getting in the way!!

"Are you alright?" Sure! When we arrived, we immediately turned into a dog!! I looked at Karos, who was standing there flouting Ganood, tense and angry. Just wait and see! If I get out of here, I'll stomp you into the ground!!

"No, I'm fine. Thank you, Caros. Now! It's time to get rid of this scourge." Ganood said with an excited voice and expression. Ignoring the blood flowing from the wound across his left eye caused by my murderous intent.

what ? What exactly are you going to do with that kind of attitude?!

All at once!

Immediately, my body felt like it was about to break into pieces. Suddenly, two large black iron pillars pierced my chest and stomach, sticking to the temple floor. I couldn't stop vomiting blood. Tears of blood flowed out like a small river. The eyes are beginning to go blind. But I still had time to see Ganood's satisfied face.

"Huh! Listen to me from the power of the Supreme Being. The masses of wind must stop and listen. The waters pay their respects. In the name of the 3331st Lord of Heaven, I hereby seal you! The evil demon of the thousand-year prophecy!!

Context of Light

Verse 9: Sealing the Nine Heavens Iron Pillar!!!” That was the last thing I heard as pain worse than being burned alive rushed towards me. Before my whole world turns dark../

Both of my hands were now clenched so tightly that my nails were digging into my skin. When I thought of the reason I had come to this place, Killing intent began to spread throughout my uncontrollable rage. The ground began to shake violently. The wind blew so fiercely that it began to turn into a small storm.

The sky began to make a terrifying noise. Even though just this killing intent can really hurt Ganood, why? Why is this doctor completely unfazed?!

Before I could be shocked, the killing intent that had been released immediately disappeared when I felt the warmth of a palm stroking my head. She weighs a lot..just like her older sister...

"Are you thinking too much? Do I seem like I'm mocking you?” You said with a slightly upset look, but your hand still didn't move away from my head.

"I'm not a child?" I swatted away the hand of the demon in front of me. The edges of his eyes began to feel strangely hot. If I let you rub my head longer I would definitely reveal my pathetic image to the demon in front of me.

“Is crying really that pitiful?”

"Yes!" Especially screaming in front of a demon like you!! I continued the last sentence in my heart. He knew that no matter how hard he tried to block his thoughts, the demon in front of him would still be able to read them. What type of demon are you exactly!!

“But I don't think so. I think just because someone cries out doesn't mean they're weak. But he was strong enough to face his grief. In order to move forward with strength in the upcoming tomorrow. ..but that's just my opinion alone."

You said while giving me a smile that was more beautiful than the Lord of Heaven, who was still standing there. My head is now completely white. The body was unable to move as desired, as if someone had pressed a button to stop time. The lump in his chest felt strangely warm. ..Besides my sister, no one has ever said anything like this to me. No..if it was before..

I would definitely count Karos along with my sister. But..not anymore..that doctor betrayed me..

“Then let's start over. Start over in this land." Ha! what ? I immediately turned to look at the face of the demon in front of me who had just spoken a strange sentence. But no matter how long he waited, the demon in front of him still refused to say anything. Until I had to be the one to ask. ..You don't want to read minds like this?!

“What do you mean? I was the Celestial that killed you all before.” At that moment, I fully expected your stunned face. I expect that once you know my identity, all kindness will disappear and turn into anger and hate instead.

“Who cares?” Yes, I already knew that it would end like this.. The paths of the heavenly people and the demons could never cross-- Ha!! Wait!!

“What did you say just now?!!” I shouted at the top of my lungs as I looked directly into the eyes of the demon in front of me. ..Well, my brother once said that the eyes are where the mind resides..Believe it a little and it won't do any harm.. ?

"Hey..you're hard of hearing, but that's okay! I'm going to say it again. This time, listen carefully. I-I don't care." You emphasized the last sentence loudly. There was not the slightest hint of pretense in your eyes, along with your expression and tone of seriousness. That made me stunned for the hundredth time in the day. Who would have thought that at one point in their life, a demon would say something like this to them..

I really don't care..? Not even caring about the fact that I once killed your kind?!

“But I killed you all..” I said in a hoarse voice as I looked down at my palm that had been stained with the blood of thousands of demons. Right now, I don't even dare to look at the face of the demon in front of me, especially those honest eyes. For the first time, I feel like I'm not worthy of this kindness at all..

"I told you I don't care."

"You don't care about your friends, the others must care no matter what!!" I argued loudly but you and I just shook our heads in boredom.

“Listen, we are not like some Celestials or humans who care about such trivialities. Whether you were a Celestial or not is all just the past and has passed. All we care about is the fact that you are now a dark race like us.

Especially if you think carefully about the reason why you were consumed by darkness. There was only one reason why you became like this…you were betrayed by your own race. Killed like a worthless creature The more you become like us, the more likely you are to be killed by every race in the world that considers us evil.

And because of this, how can we not abandon you who are lost and defenseless?" Lost and defenseless? Actually, you have pity on this side..

Paste!

"No, stop thinking about it for yourself." Oh, you can't just say that, can you? I don't see the need to flick your forehead at all.. I gently rubbed my forehead, which was starting to turn red.

"Who used it to make you like to think for yourself? Why do I look pitifully at you?”

“Hey..Okay, if you don't answer, please listen to me until the end. Before you think of yourself as pitiful..then what was I talking about just now?" Huh! what ? You ask me?

"That's right! There are only you and me here. Who do you think I'm talking to?" Okay..I made the mistake of repeating the question in my heart. Damn it! No more, no more, my personal space.. Before I hurriedly thought about what the demon in front of me had said before when I saw his expression that was starting to show up.

Who made you talk so long!! A short summary, isn't it?

"..I'm afraid you haven't realized this in time.." You said in a soft voice, but I heard it. Hey..you're so touchy!!

“I'm not upset!!” You argued immediately, glancing in another direction. But I can still see your slightly red face. I don't know if it's because you're angry or embarrassed that I was caught sulking? ..Why do I feel like it's the latter? And for that reason, I couldn't help but laugh. Damn it!

Demons like you have a cute side too~

"I'm not cute! And I'm not upset either!! Stop laughing!!!” You shouted loudly and your face became even more discolored. Damn you! I have a stomach ache all over!!

That's it!

A sharp pain in the ear area immediately entered the auditory system. The laughter that was loud a moment ago turned into my cry of pain. I quickly held my right ear as soon as it was freed from the demon's killing hand in front of me. Damn it! How many times have I hurt myself today?

I'm about to cry out loud. Huh..fate is very cruel to me..

"Stop whining! The reason I have to do this is all because of your crazy idea!!” Yes..I know I'm upset but I don't see the need to take action. Huh..my ears are hurting..

"I've warned you! You won't listen to me if you can't think of everything I've said. I thought of it myself!!” You said as you turned your head away in another direction displeased but still gave me green eyes. Yes, it was my fault for laughing. Who would have thought that you would be this touchy-feely? I must quickly shake my head and push all thoughts away, or the petulant demon will get even more angry.

"I heard it!" Okay, I won't think you're petulant anymore! Hey! Don't look ashamed at me like that!

"Sh! Do you know the reason why we couldn't leave you? It's not because I pity you. But if we, the original race of darkness, were prejudiced against you and left you to wander around in a world where there were only races that wanted to kill our race...

Especially now that you guys have just been swallowed up by darkness and still don't know how to use any kind of power. A hundred and a hundred is only death and death."

As soon as I finished listening to you, I really felt like I wanted to hit my head on a nearby rock and die. In addition to being chased out by the same race, I will also have to be chased out by other races!!

“Didn't I tell you in the beginning that you will be killed twice as much right now?” You said simply, but that made me start to feel a bit worried.

"You guys? You use words like there are many people like me.”

“There are many people. You think you're the only one consumed by darkness? Did you know that around five thousand people fall here every year? And you are one of them." Ha! Five thousand people? Will it be too much!!

“But the number of people falling depends on the decay of the world. Look like it was millions of years ago. That period can be said to be the cleanest period on earth because no one fell here." Oh, if you think like that, it's possible. But wait! How do you know about things from millions of years ago?!

How old are you exactly?

"A book. And I'm only three hundred and twenty years old." Three hundred and twenty years..My younger sibling.

I nodded to myself in understanding. He was slightly startled when he noticed the disgusted expression on the face of the demon in front of him. ..Is there something on my face? I'm staring so hard.

“I beg you, can you stop thinking in your heart and let me read it? It makes me feel like I'm talking alone.”

"You stopped reading my thoughts in the first place!!" I shouted as loud as I could.

"Well, it was fun.." You said in a soft voice that made me stop. I was quickly stunned when I saw the demon in front of me lower his head and stare at the ground in a petulant manner.

Hey..I'm upset again! Seriously, what did I do wrong to have to meet such a touchy-feely demon?!

“I'm not upset!” You argued back with slightly puffy cheeks. If you don't notice, you probably won't see it. Hey..really a kid.

"I'm not a child!" Yes! If you're not a child, you're not a child.

"Hey..but anyway, if we're not yet 4 years old, We are still considered children.” This time, I chose to speak instead, otherwise the demon in front of me would definitely not stop being annoyed.

"Then you're still a child too!"

"But I'm a year older than you," I said in a casual tone. ..Teasing people is fun too..

“Even so, you have no right to call me a child! And...demons like us are not the same as the Celestials and other races who age quickly.”

"Huh? What does that mean? According to the world's statistics, heavenly people have the longest lifespan. Plus, once you reach three digits in age, your appearance will stop at twenty-five until the end of your life." I argued with all my might. Are you saying that the world's established consciousness for over a thousand years is wrong?

"Yes, it's wrong."

"Ha! Wrong?” I shouted as loud as I could. Will your race not allow me to take a breather?

“Well, when you guys made those records. You have not included my race.”

"Um..it's correct to say that." I nodded in understanding before I was stopped when I saw your clearly dejected expression.

Why do you have that expression on your face? Or is it because you were shunned by other races even though you did nothing wrong?

“However, what I want to say is that we, the dark race, are the longest-lived race in the world. We are considered old when we reach sixteen. And when we hit our third birthday, our appearance stops at our twenties. Haven't you noticed that you look younger?"

"Sorry, I didn't notice," I answered honestly. Who would have the mood to observe themselves so carefully? If you suddenly woke up in an unknown place, would you still have time to examine everything yourself?

"Hey..please weigh it. And another thing you must know is that we will never die. But if it were the power of the Heavenly Lord, we would die as well.”

“Huh!” I almost had a heart attack with each story you told me. And what does it mean when you speak in such a relaxed manner?!!

“You don't need to worry. If you don't leave this land, no one will come in and do anything to you.”

“What do you mean?” What is so special about this land?

“So Mother is protecting us. You would never allow anyone to harm your children. That is why other races cannot enter the land of darkness.”

"Mother? Who?” I asked, confused.

“Mother, this is this land,” you said with a straight face, but I was extremely shocked.

"Ha!" I shouted for the hundredth time that day. Damn it! If I faint now, will it be wrong?!! There couldn't be anything more shocking than this, I bet! This is the most shocking thing in my life!!

"Hey, are you alright?"

"..Are you kidding me?" I asked again to be sure.

"No, I'm telling the truth. Now have you decided whether you want me to teach you or you will find your own way?"

"..I..."

I'm not sure how much trust the other party can have. What was said might just be a trick..

“If you still don't believe me, you can try going outside. But if you do it and it's like I said, you can always come back. Because no matter what, we are now one family.” You said with a warm smile, but your words finally made me decide.

"I'll go back to you!"

Well..trying to believe it a little won't hurt.

"You..believe people so easily."

"Please weigh me!"

"Yes, what is your name?"

That question stopped me in my tracks because it was a name that reminded me of my past when I was a Celestial. Before I could speak, I answered slowly.

"Akarui Shirou."

"Looks like you don't like that name."

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just.."

Reminds me of my older sister.. My hands clenched so tightly that my nails dug into my flesh as I thought of my older sister's soulless state.

"Then I'll call you Kurai Kuro." You smiled and tilted your head slightly.

"Kuraikuro?" I repeated the name softly before flashing my typical mischievous smile.

It's been a long time~ I haven't smiled like this..

“You smile like a pervert,” you said, backing away from me slightly.

"Don't talk too much! And what is your name? Or shall I call you a petulant devil~"

“I'm not petulant!” Your cheeks started to swell slightly before you decided to continue. Little did I know that in the next few minutes it would be my biggest shock.

“Loka, that is my name and I am the current King of Darkness.” I nodded in understanding for a moment before

"Haha!!!!!!" Shouting at the top of your lungs....

More than five thousand years have passed since the day we met and more than a hundred years have passed since you died.

I am now standing on a fertile hill in the Land of Darkness. In front of me stood a life-sized statue of you made from black gems. Around the base of the statue, many different types of flowers were placed. And beneath the statue's base could not be anything but your lifeless body.

“Hey, I'm here to visit you again,” I said casually, but I had a little hope that it would reach you one day.

' The King of Darkness, Loka

The greatest king that the Land of Darkness ever had.

of the power of darkness Protect your soul for all eternity.'

I slowly traced the letters carved into the base of the statue with my fingers. Even now, I still remember the time you were killed because he went to help a baby dragon that had wandered into the territory of the Celestials. Your body slowly cooled down. I couldn't do anything to help you, I could only watch as your breath faded away.

Ever since we were together, I never thought for a moment that there would be a day when you would have to leave me. I can only hug your lifeless body. Crying, begging, begging for you to come back without anyone caring. Even though you knew in your heart that you would never return since the Lord of Heaven had killed you himself.

I know because the Dark Race will die to the power of the Lord of Heaven once. The soul will instantly shatter. There will never be a day when I can be born again..

To know this truth well I still want to believe that you will come back someday..

It is all because of this belief and Mother that I am still able to stand my ground..

“Did you know, Loka, after you died there was an angel who was the same as me but worse? Because the doctor was so crazy that he couldn't control himself. Now our dark race has split into two groups~"

I sat down with my back against the base of the statue and spread my legs leisurely, but my mind was distraught with so many things that had happened. The scent of the blowing wind calmed him down just a little.

“The first is our dark race. As for the second group, they weren't the ones that were consumed by darkness like me. Those are the ones whose spirits were broken by the angel I mentioned earlier. As a result, the second group will come out with a body that is not close to human like ours and will have to use the illusion spell.

And now they are hiding in the human territory as well..” I continued speaking with my eyes fixed on the sky.

Now..how will you be?

You were the first to reach out to me.

You who taught me everything I didn't know.

You are like the pillar that keeps me going.

But now..without you by my side Even my mother's happiness couldn't protect it..

“Now it's much worse than before, you know? Every race thought that the misfortune the second group had caused was our work. Mother has to work harder now. Mother hardly gets any rest.."

The beautiful face of a young woman in her early twenties, like that of royalty, was filled with a beautiful smile. Long, flowing black hair contrasted with skin that was white and smooth, as if it had never been exposed to the sun. Those beautiful amethyst eyes, now glazed with fatigue, are still etched in my heart.

“All I can do right now is protect our race when they are out on business. Well, I'm the only one who wasn't killed by the power of the Lord of Heaven~” I laughed to myself like a crazy person.

"This world, if it were you What are you going to do?” I asked, knowing that you would never reply. Even though it should be like this..

"I don't know. I'm not good at everything! To know everything!!” A sarcastic voice next to me immediately made me turn around and look.

What he saw was a seven year old boy. It had a face like an intricately carved image of a nobleman. White skin as if it had never been exposed to the sun. Short brown hair defies gravity. And his emerald green eyes were like a terrible curse written in a forbidden book.

Those eyes looking straight at me made me unable to stop my jaw dropping open. Because whether it is the color of the eyes or the color of the soul, they are all the same. Same with.. When I thought of this, I asked in disbelief.

"J..Chao Loka?"

"That's right! Who do you think I am?” You complained as you sat down next to me who had still not recovered from the shock. Now if it wasn't a dream I would really cry.

“P..How is that possible!? Well--"

“Well, it has already happened. And do I know that? And another thing.."

You looked up at your own statue before turning to look at me again with a dead expression on your face. before snapping my forehead so hard that I had to quickly hold my forehead in pain.

“This is not a dream,” you replied grimly when you saw my hammering gaze.

"..Now..I understand." I felt wetness at the corner of my eyes. Before it disappeared as your tiny hand reached out and wiped it away.

"Since when have you been this whiny?"

It must have been since you left.

I don't know what inspired me to grab you and hug you tightly, not caring at all about your shocked expression. The first feeling was the warmth of your body transmitted to me.

"Warm.." I accidentally said.

“Of course, I'm not dead yet!” You muttered, but you still sat on my lap without resisting.

"And he's so small and cuddly~" It was as if a sound was cut off before I could, as you slammed my stomach hard, causing me to choke until I could barely scream. Before I knew it, you were standing in front of me yelling. You can only understand the meaning of the word 'I'm not short!'

Who made you speak ten languages ​​at once? I can't translate in time!! I couldn't help but think to myself as I turned to look at the world that was starting to turn into Spanish.

"Hey, no matter how petulant you are, you're still petulant.." I accidentally said.

"I'm not petulant!!" You argued back, which made me unintentionally think of the past..

my light The pillar that has always supported me. The first person who extended a hand to me introduced me to the word family. Now you're back..

Mother, you must be watching right now. I smiled before standing up and patting Loka's head who was beginning to frown. But I don't care.

"Don't touch me! I'm not a child!!”

"Oh~ accept it, world. that you are a child"

"I'm not a child! I'm..seven years old.." You began to frown. Before I decide to take your hand and lead you away from this place.

"Where are you going?"
