Not much happening this week on school, only minor things and usual homework. So I just skipped these to save myself from writing this shitty diary. Even if there is indeed something interesting, it'll be full of self-thoughts anyway.

Saturday...weekends. I woke up, wash my face, drink a glass of water and booted my PC, and...

1 Notification from Insta™

"Who messaged me at this hour in the morning, in weekend?"

I still collecting my thoughts and kinda dizzy, so without much thought, I clicked the notification.

[SUS Kaku]

[Here's the details of location and time, please don't be late. Keyword(if asked) 'Stiff']

"at 10oclock huh? why so early?"

[I'm still busy, after our conversation I need to go somewhere else.]

"so, im not that important? haha"

[No, it's the opposite actually, I put you at the very first to start my day.]

"oh, really? cool."

"ill prepare myself in a bit, just woke up"

[You should fix that bad sleep schedule.]

"bad? how you know that? whatever, im going offline"

I collected the rest of my thoughts process, and take a bath.

Shower thoughts~

Am I open-minded person or close-minded? Most people will answer I'm leaning toward close-minded, but still open to opinion, just hard to convince unless we share the same goal. Close huh, close door, close friend...

I confidently looked at the mirror, with deadpan expression.

"I'm close-minded person, 'cause I kept thinking how to get closer to you."

Fuck. That so cringe haha, I hate myself.

Done with bath, get changed, and off I go.

"Where do you go, Rinka?" Mom asked

"Just taking a walk." I answered with smile.

==================================================================

This address, huh. A mall, biggest one in vicinity. 6th floor, cafè lattè, the most popular cafe in the whole country, which means, kinda normal.

I took escalators because there's still much time left and there isn't any messages from Kaku.

Still wondered how and why do people build such high skyscraper, but it is what it is.

After lotsa of self-talk that I don't want to write 'cause it's too much... Should've took the lift to reduce it. Remember it, future me. I arrived at the cafe. I don't see anyone there, except one person.

"I'm sorry, the whole cafe is already reserved for today, at this hour."

Cute girl, like almost every waiter in a mall. I don't feel anything toward her. Not even faint feeling of 'beautiful' for me.

"Oh? That a shame, I was about to meet someone here. Oh well~" I used rather joyous tone. For me, it's indicating something funny yet nobody get it. Don't know whether she take it or no.

"Wait, good sir. May I know who you're about to meet?" She quickly grabbed my hand. She's fast. As expected for someone working here. Albeit, not really professional but whatever.

"Honestly, they're strangers to me, but he leave a message 'Stiff' for me to say when asked."

"Sorry, esteemed customers, you're the person he waited for. Please, this way."

==================================================================

This person, really did reserved the whole cafe.

"Ah, finally you came. I waited for you."

"But, it's still 9:58. It's not time yet." I said, as I take the seat in front of him.

"Have you like, get told that you should've get earlier than othe-"

"No." I cutted him, with straight-big no.

"That a shame, but still, I need your talent. No matter how rotten you're."

"My talent?"

"Want to do some lorebombs straight outta nowhere?"

"What?"

"Believe me or not, I was thrown to otherworld, what it called nowadays again... Ah right, 'isekai' is kinda popular no? I experienced that."

what? that sounds stupid, yet fun experience, I would like to get that.

"What kind of nonsense is this, did you called me just for fun?"

"Up to you to believe, let me continue."

He brought up a gold coins, a wooden block and something long stick.

"I was, caught up in an incident. I get straight into ICU, and went coma for nearing 2 months."

"Or that was what they said to me. the truth is, I get summoned as the 'Hero' to defeat 'Evil'. Everything is really new to me. Payment using golds, silvers and bronzes coins. Monster everywhere, and the most interesting is the existence of magic AND higher being." He showed the gold coins, and that long stick seemed to be a staff of some sort.

"Higher being as in god or something similar?" I asked, with genuine curiousity, 'cause it sounds fun as heck.

"Yeah, they're terrifying. Making me thinking, is there one on Earth too?"

"But enough of that, I'm not finished yet."

"With the determination to go back to my family, I learned everything I could do, without wasting any day. I gained full party of companion, that somehow full of girls...like why? I already married anyway so I don't really care. Did I mentioned my face, body and everything brought back to my early teens day?"

"After 48 Days of training, helping people, and learning how the world works. I embark on the journey to defeat 'Evil'. It's was a breeze because I used every little tricks I could do to exploit. Until I met The 'Evil'. She is the meaning of temptation. If I don't brought a purifier, we would lose right away."

"What do you mean by 'temptation'?"

"She get the whole skill set focused on manipulation, confusion, and illusions. It's was really hard. If I don't have the determination, perhaps I will get locked in her illusions."

"Yeah, no. I prefer physical attack and magic attack than this mental attack type. Go on please, I'm intrigued."

"After shaking her control magic, I tried to persuade her. It seems I'm still on her control magic but whatever. After 1 hours of convincing and reducing her combat power, she surrendered. I quickly cast magic blocker, and every deflector I have to stop her magic. But, it was too late. The magic backfired instead of being deflected, and get to herself and somehow get deflected towards everyone except me. Now the whole room get a slight illusions, confusion and lust over the opposite sex. That is me."

"Sounds really comic-esque. I'm betting you simply say no to everyone and go straight to Earth."

"That was the plan, but I'm really tired and fell asleep there. You know what happened next. Anyway after that I prayed to the goddess statue in the city, and then, light magic wrapping itself around me. And guess what?"

"You're teleported to nowhere."

"Yeah that's right, I can't remember anything that happened there but only these sentences."

[O Mortal, You've done a great job, but, The price of balancing the equillibrium of universe, these disaster will come to your home world.]

[Choose which of the tools I gave you for you to take with]

| Light Magic | Max Mastery

| Elemental Magic | Max Mastery

| Appraisal Magic | Mastery 97/100

| Weapon Arts | Max Mastery

"And the list of which not really mattered much, they are more of combo tools than self-sufficient that I listed."

He said as he wrote on the wooden block without anything... what the fuck.

"Wait, what. What are you doing with that wood???"

"Simple cutting magic."

"...So what did you pick? No way that cutting magic right?"

"I asked, that equillibrium means balanced. Does that mean my world will also have magic?"

[You're a sharp one, O mortal.]

"Then, I would like to get Appraisal Magic, so I can scout people that I need to prepare for this 'disaster'."

[Great Choice, as a token of thanks. I will give everything you have with less than 5/100 Mastery.]

"It, shriek a really scary and unfathomable words. But I'm sure, it's not directed at me."

"And then, I woke up."

"That was....quite a thrilling journey, If you happen to encounter it, bring me please!" I said with really excited tone.

"You're really weird one huh. Anyway life went well for the next 1 month. And then, my dear wife, got a really weird diseases, first case of this diseases. I.. can't do anything. And she...passed out. Her last wish is to protect my daughter at all costs. That's why I determined to prepare, a companion for her, for when the disaster strike. Using 'Appraisal Magic', I illegally see the stats of everyone I could see, and you, by far have the 'best' with lowest amount of 'bad' traits."

"I feel sorry for your loss. So, you 'invest' in ME, to prepare for future disaster, preparing to protect your loved daughter."

"Sounds fun, when do we start? And when is the disaster come?"

"We can start anytime, and something from dreams saying it'll come in '15.552.000'."

"What do the numbers means, I still don't know and I don't want to disclose this information to someone I can't trust."

"That's weird string of number. Coins, currency, time, items count, height, width... Is there anything that could get such big numbers?" I asked, while I get my thoughts wander really far. Trying to make sense everything.

"Time? Wait....don't say it's seconds." He have really shocked face and start doing something.

I quickly opened my phone, get a calculator, and divide by 60. Seconds to minute.

'259.200'

I try divide it again by 60. Minute to hour.

'4.320'

I try to divide it again by 24. Hour to day.

'180'

And then divide by 30. Day to month.

'6'

"When did that dreams come to you?"

"2 Months ago, why?"

"Exact date and time if possible?"

"I...I can't, but it's 2 months ago."

"I'm not really sure if this is the answer, but if it seconds, then we have 6 months."

"Yeah, I got the same result. It really near. For cutting up time as efficient as possible, what if you live in my house?" He still doing something with his device, perhaps trying to make schedule and rushing things.

"You want me to train to prepare It? Why not, of course if you can't convince my parents. But I'm sure they will let it go if my reason is for work."

"But, you're still 2nd year isn't? I'm sure I make that my daughter to get into the same class as you...As a parent, it's hard to convince parents to let their children go, it really is hard." He looks at me, like when I saw a lost cat.

"They're best parents ever, I'm betting they will go and push me to try new things that I wished for. 'Cause that's what they doing till now, pushing me for something I found interesting."

"Well, I can make schedule for that, It's teamwork. But do you really trust me? I might be a big scammer you know~." He said with kinda joyous tone, not befitting his appearance.

"Scammed is still an experience that is needed to tread on this line called life. I like gambling."

"So, we have a deal. I wish you have a fun experience."

"I look forward to these magic and 'higher being'."

When I just about to go back home, a notification from my e-money popped.

"What the..."

"Just think of it as an 'investment' like what you said earlier~"

Is everyone with money and decent job have that personality? can't wait to write this down and forget everything tomorrow, because sunday means 18h of full internet!

I took the lift, and my thoughts starting to wander.

What is life, why is life, what is universe, how is universe, is it real?

Such question kept repeating even after I booted up my PC at home.
