"Why is your face always like that?"
"His face is nice but..."
In my second year of junior high, I lost the ability to feel happiness.
Seeing as that would trouble my family, I pretend until I make it.
In highschool, I was fine. Until-
The world is full of mystery hidden in plain sight. Many forces fight for surpremacy, yet all of them are bind to an unbreakable rule. The world of the mystic must remains apart from the normal world.
Yet even with that absolute rule, everyday unintended interaction between the two worlds happen with an increased frequency.
And on that day
"I'm late! I'm late! I'm late!"
"Slow down before you trip on something."
My little sister who is like a star was panicking while eating breakfast. Eggs and toast made for a decent breakfast, but someone sure ain't enjoying the joy of eating food.
"Can'thavetogoI'mlate"
She runs out of the door like a comet, forgetting her lunch box.
Last night there was meteor shower, she and her friend in the neighborhood was staying up late watching the star for their astronomy club that today she wakes up late.
My sister, the star of her school-
Vivian Vect
/Today she ain't going to make it on time...
Ugh. I grab my head and take some aspirins. I have to go to school too, but for someone like me, being late is expected. Someone like her? She has to be the star at everything.
And me? I'm just a shadow ever since that day.
"Huh? When did you get here?"
On that day, my sister was late to school as expected. I feel like I could do something, but don't understand why I didn't do anything.
Perhaps it is for the best.
"I'm going to make it! I'm going to make it!"
The girl with toast in her mouth was sure that she was going to make it to school on time. Not only does she have good grade, she is also confident in her physical ability. A jack of all trades! A star of star!
Suddenly she trips over something and falls down.
She looks up, but instead of a cliche situation where it's a guy, it was a fleshy pink tentacles.
The tentacles extend to the sky, and it turns out a giant tentacles monster whose head is in the cloud is terrorising the city?!
"T-tentacles."
Vivian has watched enough anime to know where this is going. But suddenly-
"Hey if you don't want to die, follow my lead"
----------------------------------------
She didn't come home either, until late in the evening. Not that I could do anything about that.
"Hey why didn't I see you in class this afternoon, and why did you come back so late?"
"Uh I was busy with the astronomy club kthxbye."
She runs into the room at fast speed, excited about something.
I wonder what happened
/Vivian is dressed in a frilly blue outfit declaring "Evil doer, I won't allow you to intrude on the normal world." She looks just like one of those magical girl
-Wait. Are you serious? My star-like sister become a magical girl?
/A boy is standing admist the carnage. Surrounding him are cute girls in similar outfit. They are all glaring. In fact, it's a battle harem
What the fuck? Who is the little shit-
I grab my head in pain, almost collapsing on the floor.
/Kill him. I rip his head out of his spine and use that to smash his body into mush
My face pale, I quickly retreated back into my room. I was living a peaceful life... until that day.
I retreat into my room and don't come out again. Nothing is real, it will all pass.
When I'm 18, it will all end.
----------------------------------------
When I was young, my brother has a mental breakdown. It was distressing to think about, but I was young and my parents kept me away from the mess. I don't really know from back then, but one day though, my parents say he was fine.
They are even confident enough to dump me onto him while they go on business abroad.
But I'm not quite sure he is all there though.
"Viv. Don't trust the boy."
He peaks his head out from his room suddenly. The bags beneath his eyes was not there yesterday. Did he stay up all night...?
"What boy bro?"
"Apollo."
I froze.
How did he knows t-
...I ain't dealing with this in the morning.
"I'm going to school now. My friends are waiting for me."
Instead of nodding, or acknowledging it, he continues to act weird and sulks back to his room.
Oooookay.
Yesterday, I become a magical girl.
I really just want to struck a heroic pose and defeat evil doer just like one of those shounen story!
