Have you forgotten how I found you? You already lost once. Why are you being resistant now?” Alfonzo asked.

“Only Because, I didn’t know how to use magic. And your attitude was much better.” Reina said.

“Oh? If I remember correctly it’s same. Don’t forget that I found you lying in my country. I could have used you for my experiments, but I had mercy on you.” Alfonzo said.

“Oh yeah? From how I remember, I just came in this world out of nowhere. And then you luckily found me. I told you everything and I agreed to go with you, you were kind. At least I thought until I saw you doing your wicked work. I tried running, but you said if I win you will let me go, knowing I didn’t know how to use magic and you just defeated me easily and sealed my magic during I was asleep. What a coward. I tried running but, you keep finding me. MY LUCK IS BULLSHT THAT I HAD TO BE IN YOUR NATION!!” Reina said and started crying.

“I’m Prince of Niuinaire. Soon will be king. I don’t mind doing dirty work for strengthening my nation!!” Alfonzo said in rage.

Reina kept crying.

“Keep crying, we are leaving for home tomorrow.” Alfonzo said and went away.

The next day.

Outside of Royal Palace.

“We will take our leave now, Lord Maele. This was a great visit, and I’m pretty sure Father will be happy to hear about that.” Alfonzo said.

Reina was already sitting in the cart.

“Good-Bye, Prince Alfonzo. May you live a long life.” King said.

“You too, My Lord.” Alfonzo said and went into the cart.

The cart started to head out to the South Gate and After crossing it, the cart started floating.

“So, how was this country? Though They took everything from us, but they still lack behind us regarding industrial growth.” Alfonzo said.

Reina just kept looking out of window and didn’t bother talking. She ignored Alfonzo.

“I asked you a question. This is reason I took your powers.” Alfonzo said while holding Reina's face and forcefully turning it towards himself.

“Just accept me, and you will have everything.” Alfonzo said.

“You will never understand my love for him. He waited for me. And I’ll keep waiting too. Even if it takes months, Even if it takes years. I’ll keep waiting, because I made a promise with him and I’ll keep him. I would rather die than breaking that promise.” Reina said and her eyes got teary.

“The promise is no more. It’s a dead promise. I’m not an evil person, you know. I have every single reason for those experiments. This Country took everything from our country. And I’ll never forgive them for that. My blood was boiling while talking with them, I just wanted to kill them. To kill them all. Everyone in this country needs to die.” Alfonzo said.

“Your grudge towards country have nothing to do with me. I don’t care if you destroy this country or this planet, just tell me where Seji is. You knew he was here, but never told me until yesterday. Tell me where he is. I don’t even need my magic, you can have it all.” Reina said.

“Tch. I thought after knowing he was here, you would surrender to me. Turns out I was wrong.” Alfonzo said.

“That will only happen in your dreams.” Reina said and put Alfonzo's hand down.

“Just wait for month, I’ll make you mine. It’s not long till I make it.” Alfonzo said.

“Try whatever you want. I’ll always meet him. That’s my fate.” Reina said.

“Fate? Those things don’t exist.” Alfonzo said.

“We Will see.” Reina said.

The silence came, and the cart kept flying towards the destination.

Two days pass by.

In Elemental’s Guild house.

It’s 1st Laphraios. The 11th month.

It’s night, almost 1 A.M.

In Seji's dream.

“Eh? You got to go already?” Seji texted Reina.

“Yea, I’ll meet you when I’m free.” Reina replied.

“Take care.”

Months pass.

“Oh my god! You are finally here after months. I missed you.” Seji texted Reina.

“Yeah! But, I can’t stay for long. I have to go. I’m sorry. Keep waiting for me.” Reina replied.

“Wait why are you going? It haven't even been a minute!! Wait! Why can’t you see my older texts!?!”

Some days pass.

“Awe, game is getting shut down. Let’s be online.” Reina texted.

“Su-

Then suddenly car accident happens.

Seji wakes up, “ARGH!!” Seji woke up, and breathes heavily.

Seji touches his face, “tears? I was crying? Where am I?”

He wasn’t wearing any cloths. His chest had a large scar from Orc's fight. His arms also had some scars.

Seji looks around and Mei was sleeping on the other bed.

“Mei... I was dreaming.” Seji said and lies on bed again.

And falls asleep again.

He again sees another dream, but this time it wasn’t from his memories.

Born in the family of Dragon's his magic was cursed. He was cursed for having Dark magic as his major attribute. His parents made him train fire magic hard. But, he just couldn’t do it, due to lack of resolve. He questioned himself, “Why they don’t accept as whom I am? Why I have to learn.” He always cursed himself for being born with it. Time pass by, His parents disowned him saying, “Only a Fire Dragon could be my kid. It can’t possibly be you.” He was kicked out of his house. He made a pledge that he will beat that Dragon king and become next Dragon king. Xavrarrorth went to train in Ocean of Fire. Where Fire flows instead of Water. After training for years, Xavararrorth went back to defeat Dragon king to be Next Dragon king. He managed to defeat Dragon king and became the next Dragon king. But, not soon after he became Dragon king that Wars started between different Dragon for ruling areas, and many other were dissatisfied by a dark magic dragon being their king, even though Xavararrorth had trained fire magic for years. His role as dragon king started to crumble. Soon, many became upset of his leadership and started revolution against him and another became Dragon king. The dragon's name was Feurn P-

Seji's dream breaks.

Door is opened by someone.

Light enters the room from the window. It’s morning.

Seji's eyes open up barely.

Seji said, “Rei...na? Reina is that you? REI!!”

It was Noriko who opened the room. She was checking onto Alec and Seji and was going back.

“Huh? Are you awake!?” Noriko said while turning back.

“You aren’t Reina...” Seji's excitement went away.

“Yeah, I’m not. Good morning by the way. You have woken up after uh 28 29 and today is 1. Yea after Three days!” Noriko said in joy.

“3 days!?! I was unconscious for Three days!?! What’s date today?!” Seji said in shock.

“1 of Laphraios.” Noriko said.

“That makes it two days. Uhh.” Seji said awkwardly.

“Yea whatever.” Noriko said.

“What about Alec?” Seji asked.

“He haven’t woken up yet.” Noriko replied.

“Uh, where is Mei?” Seji asked.

“She’s gone out for training.” Noriko said.

“I see. And who are you again?“ Seji said.

“I’m Noriko Kana.” Noriko said.

“I see. And that outfit, are you from Kinsho?” Seji asked.

“Yeah, you were wearing yukata when I picked you, I thought you were from Kinsho too. But, I guess not. Since, they told me everything.” Noriko said.

“I see.” Seji said.

“Well, I’ll inform them. You wear your cloths.” Noriko said.

“Wait... Thank you for saving us back then. I owe you one.” Seji said being thankful.

“It’s alright. Always happy to help.” Noriko said with a smile.

“We will be waiting you downstairs.” Noriko said.

“Alright.” Seji said.

Noriko went down.

Seji gets out of the bed. He was only wearing his boxers. He looks in closet for his cloths. The jacket, yukata, and other cloths were fixed, washed and kept properly.

“Maybe, Mei did it.” Seji said to himself. And goes for shower.

After a few minutes. Seji comes out of shower and was wearing his fixed jacket he got from Prain the tailor.

Emilia was sitting on Seji’s bed.

“Brother! You are awake!” Emilia said and hugged Seji.

“Oh Emilia! Happy to see you.” Seji said and hugged Emilia back.

“Tell me stories!” Emilia said.

“For sure, but first let’s go down?” Seji said.

“Sure.” Emilia said.

“Alright then, just a second.”

Seji goes near Alec. And puts hand on his head.

“Body temperature is fine. Wake up soon, Alec.” Seji said.

Seji and Emilia went downstairs.

“Oh, congrats!!! You are awake!” Ariel said.

“Thanks Ariel.” Seji replied.

“Congrats Seji!” Serina said.

“Yea congrats!” everybody said.

“Morning sleeping beauty.” Reiz said.

“Oh! You are finally awake! Good to see you man.” Egan said.

“Hey Egan, and everyone.” Seji said.

“I heard how you had defeated a Mad Dragon man! That’s awesome. Let’s spar.” Egan said in enthusiasm.

“I’m not sure if his body is ready for spar.” Serina said.

“Ahahaha yeah.” Seji said.

“How tough was dragon? It’s your first dragon.” Sharon and Grim was asking.

“Calm down you guys, let him breathe.” Serina said.

“I don’t remember. I don’t know what happened.” Seji said.

“Whoaa!!” They said.

Master Zenon comes in the mean time.

“Oh you are awake? That’s great. Tell me everything later on.” Master said.

“For sure, Master.” Seji said.

“Let’s have lunch first.” Master said.

“Oh? It’s lunchtime? I really woke up late then.” Seji said while being surprised.

“Oh Food!” Noriko said while drooling.

“Hey Master. Where is Rune and Mei?” Seji asked.

“They are gone for training. I’m not sure when they will return. A week or two? They will be back by that time.” Master said.

“That’s long.” I said.

“Yeah, because they are gone at Vampire kingdom.” Master said.

“What?! Where is even that?!” Seji said.

“Uhm, it’s tough to tell. It's in East Somewhere. Some say it’s opposite in direction to Nether City’s Demon Gate, so, I guess that’s in East if Nether City is in West.. But, very few humans know entrance to Vampire kingdom. They wanted to be an independent nation, but king said they can have autonomy and up to them if they want to participate in affairs of Galahaeim or not. And since then it’s been isolated.” Master said.

“What’s Demon Gate?” Seji asked.

“Many Gates take to Demon world. Depends on which one you want to go from. Like the city of demons called Nether in Galahaeim have a Gate leading to Demon world. Demon world is almost as big as the current discovered Landmass of This Realm.” Master said.

“Whoa! That’s surprising.” Seji said.

“I've heard Demon world functions similar to our world though.” Master said.

“Seriously? That’s interesting.” Seji said.

“Yeah it is. History says that Vampire and all kind of Demons used to live in Demon world. But, Vampires decided to leave Demon world suddenly and came to Human realm and formed Vampire kingdom here.” Master said.

“I see.”SejiI said.

“Talk about Demon world later and eat food right now.” Serina said while bringing food.

They eat food.

“That was tasty as ever.” Seji said.

“By the way, when is Alec supposed to wake up?” Seji asked.

“Not confirmed. Doctor said it might take a week, two weeks or a month.” Master replied.

“What about his food?” Seji asked.

“Serina is taking care of that. She makes sure she gives him a proper healing session and forcefully fills his body with mana.” Master said.

“That can be done?” Seji asked.

“Yeah, you need to channel your mana into other person’s body.” Master said.

“I see.” Seji replied.

“Tell us what happened in detail now.” Master said.

“Oh, yeah. Sure. So, after I contacted you guys here during stay in Verona, we went to Glouester. And yeah, I met a guy named Dymnix...” Seji started telling them whole story.

“ And after I was done talking with dragon. I was semi-conscious. But, I wanted to kill dragon, and I am not sure what happened after that. Though, I remember seeing Noriko, whom I though is Reina. Ahaha." Seji finishes the story.

“Whoa!!” Emilia said.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

“Ahh, I see. What else did the dragon said?” Master asked.

“Now that you mention it, he also said that Delbrus have a big scar on left side of his body. Which Xavarrorth left.” Seji said.

“Xavarrorth? I’m pretty sure he was previous Dragon king.” Egan said.

“Yeah, and I wanted to ask you something, Egan. This morning I was having a dream. Most likely It was his memory.” Seji said.

“What is it?” Egan asked.

“Who’s Feurn?” Seji asked.

“He’s my father.” Egan replied.

“Wait what?!” Seji said.

“Yeah. I don’t know much about our history though. I ran from there at a young age. Father wanted me to succeed him and I don’t like being king.” Egan said.

“You are son of Dragon king. I’m surprised?!?!” Seji said in shock.

“Yeah, it’s nothing. Most likely a bad thing.” Egan said.

“Why you think that?” Seji asked.

“The land of Dragons, it's filled with pride. I like fighting. But, I don’t have pride. And I can’t fight for that.” Egan said.

“I see.” Seji replied.

“Though, we can get things answered from my old man if you Need. But, I’m not sure if he knows anything at all. He suck.” Egan said.

“I see. That will be helpful I guess. But, Master. I want to train I want to defeat that kiri-" Seji was saying but stopped.

He looks around.

“Where's kiwari?” Seji asked.

“Why are you asking that?” Master asked.

“Yea, you never talk with her." Ariel said.

“Yea but, I need to. I forgot to tell you guys one more very important thing.” Seji said.

“What is that?” Master asked.

“The black robe guy. I just said I faced him and suddenly got defeated, and he vanished, but I learned his name. It's Kiriyo.” Seji said.

“And who’s that?” Reiz asked.

“Kiwari have a younger brother. Who surrendered himself to protect his sister from Delbrus. Delbrus wanted to get a demon child, and he was given to Delbrus.” Seji said.

They get shocked except Master.

“She wanted to keep it secret. But, I guess she will be sad from hearing this.” Master said.

“Most likely.” Seji said.

“Let’s see. Serina, Where is Kiwari?” Master asked.

“Well, just like always, she comes and goes to questing.” Serina replied.

“When will be she back?” Master asked.

“It was A class Quest, and she’s been gone since yesterday evening. She should be back anytime now.” Serina said.

“Okay. When she comes Seji will explain to her.” Master said.

“Why me?!” Seji asked.

“Because, she needs to hear it from your mouth from start to bottom.” Master said.

“I guess. Telling myself will be much more believable to her.” Seji said.

“Anyway, about your training. We will start it from tomorrow. Let Kiwari know everything." Master said.

“Sounds good. But, Master I have one more favor to ask.” Seji said.

“What’s that?” Master asked.

“To find real identity of Delbrus.” Seji said while standing up.

Master started walking towards stairs.

“I’ll find it. But, ill have some conditions.” Master said.

“What are those?” Seji asked.

“I’m disappointed that you let yourself and your friends be in danger. I don’t ever want that again.” Master said.

“I understand. Will never happen again.” Seji replied.

“Pack your bag. We will be leaving tomorrow for training.” Mater said.

“Yes sir!” Seji replied.

Master went upstairs in his room.

“I’ll be waiting to spar you.” Egan said.

“Sure.” Seji replied.

They both have fire in their eyes.

“Fire boi gone dumber than last time.” Reiz said.

“Oh shut up water freak.” Egan said.

“By the way Seji, your jacket. Mei had gotten it fixed.” Ariel said.

“You suck Fire boi.”

“Not as much as you do.”

“Don't mind these two.” Ariel said.

“Where's Ella? Dragnia? And Isabell?” Seji asked.

“Ella is on a quest herself. And she will be gone for a month or so. She’s gone to help a town. If spirits are left without pacts, they get their nutrition from human fears. And some spirits are evil. And just crazy strong after feeding on human fear. The Ghost of lady Leron. She was heading of the town called Bullmar.”

“FULL STORY!” Emilia said.

“Ok! But I’ll keep it short.” Serina said.

Someone goes upstairs, but everyone keeps listening to Serina.

Serina goes into spooky mode and says, “ Legend says that Bullmar was a prosperous town. Even though it was the Farthest town in the whole Galahaeim, it was still great town. But, one day lady leron saw her husband with other women and drowned herself and her kid in river. Villagers gathered and tried to pull her out, but she dragged a villager in too. The villager shouted, but no one came to help everybody ran. And the ghost of lady leron still haunts the alive villagers even after centuries. She says, ‘Come be my baby.’ *Serina turned into happy voice* So, yea. Ella is gone to defeat her. Defeating ghost can be tricky.”

“That was one hell of a story.” Seji said.

“I enjoyed it too." Emilia said.

Egan and Reiz were shaking.

“Why you guys shaking?” Serina asked.

“I’m not, this water f-f-freak is scared.” Egan said stuttering.

“No, f-f-fire boi is.” Reiz said stuttering.

Emilia goes below the table and holds Egan and Reiz's legs. She changes her appearance by bringing hair ahead.

“Do you want to be my little baby?”

“AAAAAAA!!” Egan and Reiz screamed.

“Ahahahagaha!!” Emilia laughed.

“Ahahaha.” They all start laughing.

Serina goes back to desk.

“Oh, Kiwari is back. Her quest paper is here.” Serina says.

“Now you said it I did saw someone move up.” Sharon said.

“Oh, I did too. She must be in the room above. Go ahead, Seji.” Serina said.

“Okay.” Seji said and went upstairs.

“This should be her room.” Seji said to himself.

Seji was going to knock on door, but he heard Kiwari crying. He stops for a second.

But, thinking it was his imagination he ignored that and knocked on door.

“Miss Kiwari? Can I come in?” Seji asked.

“No, I don’t want to eat food.” Kiwari said.

“I didn’t bring any food. You know. Hehehe.” Seji said with awkward laugh.

“Then I don’t want to talk.” Kiwari said.

“It’s alright. We can talk later if you want. But, I will be going tomorrow, and it’s very important. And you aren’t here, most days.” Seji said.

“No means no. I won't open the door.” Kiwari said.

“I know you are crying in there. I don’t want to disturb either, but trust me it’s very important.” Seji said.

No reply came.

Seji sat down, laying his back on door.

“I’ll wait here then. Open the door when you are free.” Seji said.

Door opens suddenly. Seji loses balance and falls backwards.

Kiwari was standing behind door.

“You could at least tell you were opening door.” Seji said and stood up.

“Just get in.” Kiwari said.

Her eyes were still teary.

“Sheesh, okay.”

“What is it?” Kiwari asked while closing door.

“Your mother. Have you met her in a while?” Seji asked.

“Yeah, met her a few days ago. I know everything about you, they told me everything. From your dramatic chance to start chaos to fighting Myst.” Kiwari said.

“That’s certainly true. But, I have news for you." Seji said.

“And what might that be?” Kiwari asked.

“Your brother. He’s alive.” Seji said.

“Really?!?” a tear fell from kiwari's eye.

“You aren’t joking right?”

“No, I’m not. But there is a negative too.” Seji said.

Kiwari goes on her knees and starts crying with a smile.

“He’s working for Delbrus...” Seji said in sorrow.

But, kiwari was still crying with smile and stood up.

“It’s alright. My brother is at least alive... he's alive...” Kiwari said and hugged Seji crying.

“He's alive..” kiwari kept saying and crying.

“Thank you for Bringing me news.” Kiwari said.

“I guess." Seji said and patted Kiwari's head politely.

*in kiwari's brain.

Kiwari remembers her past, how her brother gave himself up, how miserable she felt back then.

Kiwari reminisces the time she spent with her little brother. How she used to carry him to play. To play with him and do all kinds of fun stuff.

“Sister! Pick me up!!” A little kid saying to Kiwari. He’s kiriyo.

“Kiriyo! Let’s play!” Kiwari saying to Kiriyo.

*Back to present time.

“I’ll meet you, brother.” Kiwari said and falls asleep in Seji's arms.

“Jeez. I’m not your bed, but I guess you must be tired and finally relieved from a mistake you felt was yours.” Seji said and lays Kiwari in her bed.

After putting her in bed, Kiwari in her sleep holds Seji’s hand and says, “Don’t run off on your own...”

Seeing that, Seji smiles and goes into deep thinking.

*Seji spaces out.

Seji thinks, “I never had any siblings. But, I guess, if i had lost anyone from my family or friends in real I would be worse than her. And I already had lost Reina once...”

Seji reminisces his past friends and family and the time he lost Reina once.

12th of June 2017. Reina fainted while playing game with him.

13th June She got admitted into Hospital.

“I have Heart disease babe. I won’t be able to text or anything. Can you wait for me? But, if I take too doing its fine, forget me okay?” Reina texted.

“No, I’ll wait. You can do it. Have trust in yourself, babe. Just make it back? Promise me you will be back?” Seji texted back.

“Call me.” Reina said.

“Okay.” Seji said and called Reina.

“Promise me you will be alright.” Seji said.

“Okay, I’ll make this promise, but I’m not sure how much time will it take. I won’t be able to text you and I can’t see you being hurt in that time. This is why I said forget me...” Reina said while crying.

“I can’t forget you okay? I’ll wait, I’ll wait even if it takes months. I’ll wait even if it takes years, but I’ll wait okay? So, you got to promise me you will be back.” Seji said in sorrow too.

“I’ll be back. But, I can’t see you in pain... I don’t want you to be hurt because of me.” Reina said.

“I promise. I won’t be hurt. I promise. I love you, I can’t move on okay? So, I’ll wait for you.” Seji said.

“I love you too, mom is coming. I’m gonna cut call and get ready for check up. See you Seji. Take care okay?” Reina said and cut the call.

Seji put his phone on chest and his arm on his face. And started crying.

Days pass. A week pass by, Reina's text came, but it was at 1.PM. for Seji.

It was a pic of her hand with Glucose attached.

“I’ll be alright 100% just more time. Wait for me. Love you.” That's what text read.

“I’ll wait, be alright. Take care.”

Days keep passing by. Every single day was too much, nightmares became common for Seji. He went under depression which would last for years. A month passed, two months, three months passed and message came.

13th September 2017.

“Babe!! Do I still have right to call you babe? Or have I lost it?” Reina texted.

“Yes, you do. Who else could have it?” Seji said and started pouring of tears of happiness from his eyes.

*Back to present

*Cough Cough*

Seji’s eye was pouring tear off, and he was looking at Kiwari but spaced out.

“Oh!?! I was spaced out for how long!?!”

“I was just thinking why it’s taking you so long. It’s been 15minutes. Master is waiting.” Serina said.

“Started Remembering old stuff. Didn’t mean to make master wait.” Seji said and wiped his tear.

“Is she unconscious?” Serina asked.

“No, she was happy that her brother is alive. Even though he’s working for a possible evil man. She just was too happy and slept.” Seji said.

“I see. Let’s go down.” Serina said.

“Okay.” Seji said and walked down.

Serina closes kiwari's room door and came down.

“Well, I told her. She was happy to hear. So happy that she slept after crying. And happy even after knowing her brother is working for a possible villain." Seji said to Master.

“I see.” Master replied.

“We don’t know who Delbrus is.” Egan said.

“And have 0 clue.” Reiz said.

“Not really Zero. Xavarrorth told me, Delbrus have huge scar on left side of his body. From head to toe.” Seji said.

“Hmm, I do have a suspect. But, to even think a calm person like him can be is bizarre.” Mater said.

“And who might be it in your eye?” Seji asked.

“I can’t tell right now. The fairy keeping watch on Alec might hear. Though, keep special eye on Alec. We were having once per hour check up on him, make it 30 Minutes now. And Emilia, I’ll tell you later what to do. Okay?” Master said.

“Yes, Master.” Serina said.

“Okay, Gramps.” Emilia said.

“Hey Noriko, I wanted to ask. Are you samurai?” Seji asked.

“Yeah, I am.” Noriko replied.

“That’s great. But, I want a katana too.” Seji said.

“Then get it made.” Noriko said.

“But what to say to the black Smith.” Seji asked.

“Just ask him to make a Katana, I guess. This is from my home land.” Noriko said.

“I see... I think I’ll try to get one from your home country. Traditional is always better.” Seji said.

“That’s true. Katana take months to be forged.” Noriko said.

“I see.” Seji said.

“Get your stuff ready. We will be leaving for training tomorrow.” Master said.

“Yes, Master. But, where is Dragnia?” Seji asked.

“On his Quest journey.” Master replied.

“I see. And what about Alec?” Seji asked.

“Serina can take care of him. And they check on him after intervals anyway. So don’t worry.” Master said.

“Okay...” Seji replied.

While someone else enters the guild.

“I’m finally back. DON'T GIVE ME THESE CRAPPY QUESTS FROM NEXT TIME!” A girl’s voice came.

“Oh, Zoey. You are back.” Master said.

“Yo Zoey!” Egan said.

“What’s up Zoey.” Reiz said.

“Hi Zoey. “ Ariel said.

“Welcome back, how was the questing, Dear.” Serina said.

A girl with cat ears was standing. She had short dark blue hair, wearing Black Latex cloths. And carrying a big sword at her back.

“The quest was pretty much fine. BUT IT WAS BORING.. And hey everyone.” Zoey said.

Her way of talking was frustrated and blunt. And a bit rude on rude side.

She looks at everyone and then looks at Seji.

“Are you the new here?” Zoey asked Seji.

“Yes, I am.” Seji replied.

“Welcome. And don’t try to do anything bad. I’ll kill you.” Zoey said.

Seji got kind of ticked.

“May I ask why you think I’ll do that?” Seji asked.

“Newbies tend to create problems. Master have to clean their messes.” Zoey said in blunt way.

Everyone looks at her. They are familiar to her behavior.

“I see. I think I already caused quite a lot of problems for him. I apologize, Master and everyone whom I might have caused any problem.” Seji said.

Master said, It’s alright. Don't mind Zoey. She’s ju-“

“Though, Miss Zoey. Having a little respect won't hurt your tongue. Will that?” Seji said in same blunt way.

Everybody looks at Seji.

“You are a hasty one. Don’t make me kill you.” Zoey said while coming closer to Seji.

“Try me.” Seji said.

“Will love to.” Zoey said while she tries to pull her sword out.

“Why don’t we try to take this outside? I’m afraid everyone could get hurt.” Seji said.

“Here we go again.” Ariel said in a low voice.

“Stop you two.” Master came in between me and Zoey and pushed us both away.

“I’m sorry, Master.” Seji said.

“Gramps, you sure about recruiting a**holes like these?” Zoey said to Master.

“I’m not the one who was being disrespectful first. And just saying, I’m a mud puddle, try to throw a rock at me and I’ll just splash dirt back to you.” Seji said.

“I’m not sure about that-

“I said stop. If you want to fight. You can go outside and fight, but you both will be given punishments.” Master said.

“Yes, Master.” Seji said.

“Fine.” Zoey said and went to her room above.

“Is she always like that?” Seji asked.

“Yeah, She was just testing you so, you could stay here or not. She’s very nice from heart actually.” Master said.

“Doesn’t look so..” Seji said.

“You should have controlled yourself, now she will be after you.” Master said.

“But, she was being disrespectful out of blue. But, I think I over reacted a little.” Seji said.

“It’s alright, man.” Egan said.

“Yeah.” Reiz said.

“Don’t mind her. Come here, tell us about your world.” Ariel said.

“Oh sounds good to me.” Seji said and went to sit down.

“So what you guys want to hear.” Seji asked.

“Tell us some stories? About yourself. Like how you were in your world.” Ariel asked.

“How I was? I think I was a spoiled brat sometimes? And sometimes intelligent. I was in high school, last year. Uhm, to explain it. It’s a school? You know school?” Seji asked.

“Yeah, we have some too. But, mostly only royals attend them.” Master spoke standing on side.

“Ah I see. Well in my world everyone must attend schools. They teach and educate and we had some cool devices. With what we can contact each other from far, see each other too. And for unlimited times. And only humans exist in my world.” Seji said.

“What! For unlimited times? You should have brought that here. We need that here. I’m tired from buying crystals.” Master said.

“Ahahah!” everybody chuckled.

“Only humans is kind of weird thing.” Egan said.

“Yes, other races are in mythologies only.” Seji said.

“I see.”

“And we can even play advanced games. Like use magic in games, but, not in real. They just show 3D projections? I can’t explain this.” Seji said.

Their faces went blank.

“Well, let’s skip to stories. I don’t have many stories of my own, so, I’ll tell from Anime, or movies.” Seji said.

“What are those?” Reiz asked.

“It's complicated, but it’s like stories being acted by people in real movies. While in Anime, Drawings move then sound effects, and character sounds are added.” Seji said.

“Wow! That would be so cool!” Egan said.

“Not really too cool, but with perfect story, they are awesome.” Seji said.

“Oh! Tell us a story.” Emilia said.

“Oh well, I’ll tell you a great one. There was an anime called, “J**O’s Bi*za**e Ad*ve*tu*es. And it was awesome. It starts with a cart being fallen into valley and ....” Seji started telling story.

Sometimes in middle they I’ll stop story to drink water, go for pee, and other stuff.

Egan, Reiz, Ariel and Emilia were hearing the story.

Master went to visit city for work after an hour of story started.

There were shouting in between. For one sec Seji went, “ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA.” And another “MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA. WRYYYYY.”

“Wow!, Really!?! OHH!!” these were the reactions of the listeners.

Six hours later.

“And that’s how they K*ra Died.” Seji said.

“He deserved it. He literally deserved it.” Ariel said.

“If I were there, I would have killed him the worst death.” Egan said.

“I would make him drown and die slowly.” Reiz said.

“He was a bad guy. So, he deserved it.” Emilia said.

“One part left, I mean there are Three more parts after part Five but, I didn’t read the material it was adapted from also called Manga.” Seji said.

Master comes from the door and says, “You guys are still talking?”

“Yeah, One part left. I’m asking if they want to listen or not ahaha" Seji said.

“Tell them now, we will be gone for some days tomorrow.” Master replied.

“Okay them this one is short, just Eight days span of story.” Seji said.

“Okay then.” Ariel said.

Everyone got ready to listen.

“So, there is a gang organization in Italy, the same country from part One or 2. And Gi*r*o Gi*v*a*n* is boy of 15 year, who....

Two hours later.

“And The story ends there showing Gi*r*o Gi*v*a*n* becomes the GangStar he wanted to be. And Di*vo*lo is still dying.” Seji said finishing the story.

“That was great just like any other part!” Ariel said with teary eyes, but she wasn’t crying.

“NAL*NCIA!! I FEEL BAD FOR HIM!” Egan said while crying.

“It's N*r*n*i*a.” Seji said.

“Yea, it's same.” Egan said while crying.

“Why you crying, Reiz.” Ariel asked Reiz.

“BUCI*RATI!!” Reiz said.

“Uhh...” Seji said with awkward face.

“Do you miss Abac**hio? Emilia?” Seji asked.

“Yes..ABA*CHIO AND KA**OIN!!.” Emilia was crying as well.

“Oh well. I guess, part Four had the least deaths, maybe it fixed your mood from part 3.” Seji said.

“Yah, Ka*yoin was nice too. But, that’s not the saddest death I know.” Seji said.

“DINNER TIME!” Serina said and brought dinner.

“Oh, I’ll give zoey her food too.” Serina said and went upstairs.

“She can’t come down?” Seji asked.

“No, I mean yes she can, but she never comes.” Ariel said.

“She’s like Dragnia more or less.” Seji said.

“Kind of, but a different personality. Colder than Dragnia.” Ariel said.

“Let’s eat for now.” Egan said, and we digged in.

“What about Kiwari?” Seji asked.

“I’ll give her dinner in her room. I don’t think it’s a good idea to call her down. She needs time.” Serina said.

“Oh, you guys didn't start eating without me did you?” Noriko said while coming down from stairs.

“Ahahaha, come eat.” Egan said.

“Love to! Serina, marry me. I love this food too much.” Noriko said with drools.

Everybody chuckled a little.

After dinner, Seji went into his regular room to sleep. Only Alec was left in Medical room now.

“I wonder who checks on Alec at night.” Seji said to himself laying on his bed.

And soon after a while he slept.

Emilia tried to go up to her room, but Master asked Emilia, “Emilia, Meet me in my room. I have a quest for you.”

“Oh, Sure Master.” Emilia said and went in Master’s room.

Next Day.

In Seji's dream

Reina was walking away from Seji on a river's bank. It was Seji’s memory which he was seeing in his dream.

Seji starts singing a song with a melody from the song “S***rai He**t” By SP**IR

The lyrics were changed though.

“Hey-Hey samurai girl, are you angry on me?

No matter how much I ask, there’s no answer back.

Hey-Hey Samurai Girl, will you answer me?

I’m looking for a dumb girl who looks just like you.

Hey-Hey Samurai Girl, will you spit your anger?

I can’t seem to live without you."

Reina stops and turns back.

“FINE FINE FINE!! Don’t do that again. I don’t care if others forget about you. You still have me okay? Love you.” She said while hugging Seji with teary eyes.

Seji falls from bed. His sleep breaks but he stays down on floor.

“Huh!? That dream was so real.” Seji said to himself and thinks, “Though, it wasn’t really a dream or anything. She did get mad at me when I told her my old best friend was back but didn’t remember me. And the way I would usually ask forgiveness from her. That was just a memory, I guess. Never mind that, I need to take shower and get ready for training.”

Seji though and stood up to take shower.

After awhile, Seji finishes shower and packs his bag to go with Master.

Seji goes downstairs.

Breakfast was already there waiting.

Seji and others greeted each other. Seji went and sat on chair to eat breakfast.

“Are you guys going on quest too?” Seji asked Egan, Reiz and Ariel.

“Nope, I’m waiting for our little last member. We go on and do 10 or so quests once we go and sometimes high Class ones. And might even split up sometimes. Depends.” Ariel said.

“Ah, you mean Rune?” Seji asked.

“No, I mean yes Rune too, but there’s one more. She’s our healer. Her name is Melanie. She’s little, but a very strong healer.” Ariel said.

“Ah I see.” Seji replied.

They finish breakfast.

“Are you ready Seji?” Master asked.

“Yes, I am.” Seji replied.

“I’ll go too.” Kiwari said while coming down from stairs.

“No, I think we should only go. You should help here in guild instead.” Master said.

“You are going to look for Kiriyo on this journey of yours right?” Kiwari asked.

“No, we are going for training, and as for Kiriyo. Wait some 10 days or so, the item should be available, and we should be able to confirm Kiriyo and Reina's possible location.” Master said.

“What item?” Seji asked.

“It’s a secret for now.” Master replied.

“Must be important, I understand that. I’ll help Guild, Master.” Kiwari said.

“That was easy to convince you than I though.” Seji said.

“I think rational, and Master's order are must you know.” Kiwari said.

“Yea, right. Let’s go then Gramps?” Seji said.

“For sure, keep following me.” Master said.

“Alright. See ya all later!” Seji said.

“Good luck! Spar me later when you are back.” Egan said.

“Good luck and see ya!” Ariel said.

“See ya.” Reiz said.

“Bye!” Serina said.

“Thank you. And goodbye.” Kiwari said with a smile.

With Goodbyes being said, Seji went on journey to be strong with Master.

Meanwhile, Mei and Rune stand in front of a big cave's opening.

“It took us a day to travel here. And this is Vampire Kingdom?” Mei asked.

“Yeah, That’s the Vampire Kingdom gateway.” Rune said.

“That...? Okay...” Mei said with disappointment.

“Well, we can’t let any normal human get in. So this is a security measure. We need to cross into the cave to find the open Vampire Kingdom. Even if you go above the Cave, you won’t see anything, because this is protected by special barrier. It’s undetectable.” Rune said.

“I see. Let’s go in then.” Mei said and they headed in.

“So this is entrance? You sure?” Mei asked Rune.

“Yea, this is it. Let’s go.” Rune said.

A bat was hanging upside down in cave.

“It's me, Rune. Let us in, this girl is with me.” Rune said.

“As you say.” The bat replied and changed from a bat to a person.

The person was wearing a leather jacket and his vampire wings were still out.

“How’s it going, Fred?” Rune asked.

“Everything is well, Young Prince. Is this a visit? Or you are here to buy something?” Fred asked.

“Prince!?!” Mei said in shock.
