A week after their separation,Luna was at cafe and was talking to the girl in front of her.She was a girl taller than luna and was luna best friend. Her identify was a princess of certain company and was said stake holder of Their own school ,Saint Elicia Academy.Her name was Elena Bright,the daughter of Bright Company.RIght now they were talking at the cafe .
"So that's everything what I know.How about you Elena ?Have you found any hint about Luxia where about?"
"Calm down ,luna.There was no need to rush."
"Easy going as always,You do realize it was already a week since we lost his trace."
Luna never expected that Luxia able to erase trace easily.In fact no matter what she do she never found his tail or anything like that.She wonder if Luxia already run to another country or change his identify.
"Relax,you worry too much.Let us have tea and talk about it."
"Sight,I understand. Waiter!!."
"Ye.May I took your order now?"
A waiter come and then begin taking their order.Luna felt something strange,while Elena just smiling toward her friend.Regardless of that,they begin to talk about little importance than waiter come and bring them 2 tea .
"Here was your order. 2 Milk tea."
"Thank you as always."
"Your welcome."
Luna then noticed something more strange,after all this was the first time she drink a tea that not made by herself.She then tried to taste it and notice the tea was indeed very good.Elena then said..
"It was good right?"
"Yeah,this was unexpected."
"It just wasn't tea,the coffee also was very good. In fact it was just recently they serve this kind of tea and coffee."
"I see.As expected of tea lovers."
"Thank you for compliment."
Luna then begin notice something was very wrong.But she just couldn't understand what of it.Then Elena said to luna with very big smile.
"I found this cafe 6 days ago,Then I go every day after that.Not just the new tea and coffee that was good. The new waiter service itself was amazing.He did everything quickly,orderly without mistake."
"Was the new waiter that amazing?But I guess he was indeed good...."
Luna finally noticed what is wrong.Her body froze and look toward Elena. She was giggling as she couldn't stand how cute was luna to not notice it.Well enough with her tease,she need to ensure the target itself not run away.
"Finally noticed?".
"You really enjoyed it ,didn't you?Elena."
"I didn't know what you were talking about???"
After some commotions,Luxia who was found out was sit accross Luna and Elena. While Luna was staring at Luxia,Elena just drinking her tea ignoring their conversation.After a 10 minutes,Elena finish her tea then turn around and saw Luxia just ignored most of what luna were saying and studying in front of her.She thought this guy was really amazing,not many people could act like this toward Luna.Rather,something strange. For a random guy,he handled luna too well.
"Were you listening?"
"I was listening."
Elena noticed his book was not highschool,but rather was middle school book.Luna also noticed that,she then stopped explaining.She wanted to know why Luxia always reject what she offered.Luxia then close his book and said.
"Done?"
"Why you reject my offer?Can you tell me your reason?"
"Didn't you done your research on me?Or this was the limit of your ability?"
Elena stopped drinking her tea and stare at the guy in front of her.She was sure,he never done anything beside studying and do his job and was monitored so closely.Did he just predicted everything?How he unerstand what Luna done ?Luna was silent for a moment,but then Luxia said.
"From the looks of it,you understand nothing about me yet why you tried to make a deal with me?Do you intend use me for your own games?"
"I see,you didn't trust me at all."
"No,you were wrong.It was not matter of trust. It just was impossible for me to accept your deal.What you requested was impossible for me.I was not almighty god as you thought."
Elena who heard that want to laugh at him,if he was not almighty god as solver for request than that what he was?But did she agree that Luna request was unr easonable. He was not genius understand everything rather he was person who learn everything with he have but to expect him to follow behind her?.Luna also know about this but is next sentence made her understand.
"Not just that,I would never accept any deal from you.I won't accept request people I hate."
Luxia won't draw any criminal act nor help people who he hates. Even if they kowtow againts him,he won't move a single inch to help them.
"I didn't understand. Just what I did to make you hate me so much?"
"Heh?I guess you were really forgot. After all to you it was just simple bullying."
Luna eyes changed,but then Elena drop her teacup to the floor and spilled the floor with it.
"Ah,I am sorry."
Luxia knows Elena do that on purpose but he didn't mind changing the topic. Since Elena obviously do that to helped luna and calmed her down.As luxia cleaning the spilled Tea,Luna was trying to talk to him.She obviously didn't remember much about the bullying she did. After all because of her,his was expelled from the school and his life become much harder.She indeed changed a lot ,but it didn't matter to him.Since he didn't intend to help her right now.
"Luxia,I am sorry. I didn't remember much..after all I-."
"Of course,I was just meaningless poor boy at that time.There was no need for you to remember about me,that's why please stop bothering me. I don't have time to deal with your antic."
Luxia said that as he resumed his job ,while Elena only watched both of them from the side.She didn't know what happened between them,but she knew that Luna did a great mistake on boy who helping her.By the time she realized,it was already to late.She tried to found that boy,but he vanished without trace. Elena now understand why she want to recruit him so badly.
"No,What I wanted was.."
"I already know the truth,so there was no need of explanation."
Luxia shuts her down,but luna didn't give up and grab his right hand then tell him what she wanted.

"I ..I JUST WANTED US TO BE FRIEND!!!"
"That was too late,you already ended it before it started."
Luxia emotions didn't change in slightest and released himself from her grip. He then continued cleaning like nothing happened.Luna was bitting her own lips,she then picked up her staff and exit the cafe with tears in her eyes.Elena also leave and run to chase her before saying.
"You went too far."
"It was her fault to kept budging me,beside I just stated simple truth that's all."
Elena ignored him and then chase after Luna. Luxia on otherhand begin to study as there was nothing happened. Today there was no other customer was coming ,by the time the cafe closed, Elena was returned and then asked him.
"Do mind if I come in?"
He glance toward her,then observe her immediately. He noticed she change her clothes and wear a jacket on top of her previous clothes which clearly means she hide something.It was probaby her phone and was used for informing someone.So their relationship was this close?Luxia thought,Luna was really indeed changed person.
"Was there need for that?This place was yours to begin with.Also,I don't mind you take out your phone out from your pocket. I didn't care if another person was listening or not."
Elena noticed this guy was really abnormal.While Elena think how to proceed from here on,Luxia just silently make some tea for her and then sit in front of her.She then said.
"Luxia,have you any interest playing PLO?"
"No,I have no reason to enter that world again."
That world?Elena was thinking this guy instinct was pretty good,since PLO indeed was not normal game at all.Still she have no reason to tell him and beside she need to recruit him at all cost.Mainly because he have certain talent that was so rare that people would go all out to recruit him.Luxia then suddenly picked something from his side and then said .
"A Garbage."
"?What did you say?"
"Nothing,it just what people said about me in the past."
"??????"
Elena was really confused,but then luxia said nothing silently standing up and pick a bag that he prepared before hand.Then he only said .
"Thank for your hospitality,But I decided to move to the academy dorm that was accepted today."
"Eh?"
"There was no need to surprise,after all I have no reason to refuse invintation from Saint Elicia."
Rather it was the only academy that would accept him,so he had no choice .On otherhand ,Luna who was listening to that was smiling ear to ear,but then she remembered his feeling didn't change and there was no way she could recruit him.While Elena was stressed with current condition,she totally didn't expect that Luxia was able to accepted this easily. It was now made her recruitment much harder.While she was thinking ,luxia then said.
"State your request."
"?What did you say?"
"I said state your request Luna."
Luna was surprised,but before she said what she wanted. She asked him a question from her own smarthphone.
"Why?Why you suddenly change your mind?"
"It was a promise.I will fufill it,a promise was there to keep."
Luxia vividly remembered a memories in the past.It was memories of him talking with his grandfather,to protect her friend's granddaughter .It was his first and last promise that ever made.Even now,he is still regretting about how naive he was.Luxia knows past couldn't be changed and he would fufill his traitor grand father promise.Since he didn't want to be like them,he would never be liar like them.He just know
On otherhand Elena was thinking that they guy in front of him amazing.It was easy for someone to break a promise,but she never met someone who would fufill it even he hated so much.She respected him more right now.Luna was bitting her lips as she finally understood what she need to do..
"Please,become my-."
At the same time,Luxia heard knocked sound from the phone and from outside of the cafe.He immediately dashed outside of the cafe and notice some deliquent group cornered her,he immediately punched the deliquent who hold her hand and then stand in front of her.The deliquent who was punched by luxia immediately retaliated.
"Didn't you know us?We ar-"
"Do you want to die?"
As soon Luxia said that,the temperature around him immediately go down.The deliquent immediately ran in fear,on otherhand Luxia was angry at the girl in front of him.
"Are you a fool?A girl by herself was wandering outside empty road,didn't you realize what you did basically asking for trouble?Did you hear me?"
"..I ,I was sorry. I just think you didn't want to see me.So I.."
"Truly a fools,nows come in and stop making trouble for me.."
Luxia grab her right hands without thinking,while Luna was embarassed because of this. Elena who was watching this was wondering about their relationship.She then wondered why Luxia suddenly have great change of mind.While she was wondering about that she noticed a worn out diary on top of his bag,she took it and then opened it.It was a strange that the diary only have first page which was written.
"I would protect grandpa friend's granddaughter ,so I will be like grandpa!!IThat's why teach me grandpa how to be like you!!!! I will never be liar like you,I would fufill our promise until the end of my life."
"...."
Elena noticed only the sentence before question mark was written a long time ago,while the next sentence afterward was just written probably an hour ago at max.She then understood what kind of person Luxia was,then smiled bitterly at him.
"Just what happened to him?"
After 5 minutes luxia given first aid on Luna who get some scratch from deliquent before.He then said.
"Next time be careful.You just get hurt because of nothing."
"Now now,calm down. It was partially your fault you know luxia."
"I know,anyway state your request Luna."
Luxia need to heard about her request,but Luna only smiled toward him which made him wondered what she was thinking,but then she took out something from her pocket and pass it to him.Luxia was confused because her action,Still,he checked the notebook and it is basically empty.
"I want you to fill this notebook."
"What are you planning?"
Luxia didn't understand her at all,why she asked for this bizzare things.But Luna just replied like it, was normal thing.
"To do some fixing."
"Hah?"
"There was no need to look at me like that,I don't plan anything that will harm you."
"I understand,Can you explain in detail?"
Luna then explain that she needed for Luxia to write anything daily,it doesn't matter how long and how short is it.Each week,Luna will come and take it at morning then return it back to him at night. Luxia allowed to refuse,if he doesn't want her to read it,but he must absolutely write it each day once.
"Isn't this just a diary?What is the in for you?"
Luxia replied as he plain never heard this kind of request in his life.But then Luna stand up and then said.
"It was time for me time to go home,let's meet again tomorrow."
"Ah ,Luna wait for me!!!Also luxia feel free to stay here,after all this place was empty."
Both of them then gone and left luxia alone. He didn't understand what they were planning,but then he immediately leave the cafe and then proceed to lock the cafe.
"Promise,still a promise. I would forget every hatred againts her,since I don't want my emotion to hinder me.Also,I need to make sure I am able to help her in time of need."
To enter that world again,he honestly dislike it. But since luna played it and he need to protect her for promise,he will enter that world again for fufilling the promise at the same time he remembered old promise that he failed to fufill.
"I won't fail again,I will fufill my promise this time."
He then leave the cafe then run after where luna left and followed her in certain distance just to make sure she was safe.Once they arrived home safely,luxia return to the cafe since it was already in middle of the night and then begin to browse info more about PLO then go to sleep.
The next day,It was time for him to go to his new academy. While Elena and Luna who rode a car to the academy were talking to each other.Elena sighed as she found no info at all about luxia even with the diary info,Luna also found this was very weird,it was like luxia appeared out of thin air.Luna then said toward elena who sit beside her.
"How about asking your father Elena?After all I didn't think we could find him with just private eye.."
"I guess,I could asked for my father to find info about him.Still luna you go to same school as luxia,it should be easy for you to find his origin."
"Luxia was already orphan at that time,because of that he was often bullied by other kid,it was a school for a rich children after all."
"?Wasn't that weird?Then, why he was able to enter that kind of school in the first place?"
"I didn't know either,the principal also tightlipped about that matter.Regardless of that his life was too mysterious that made me wonder if he ever stayed at this nation at all."
"As usual luna,your preference is weird as usual."
"I don't want to hear that from gun maniac like you."
It then become iddle chatter,since it was rarely for both of them to going together.Luxia who arrived at the at the entrace attracted people attention.He was treated like a panda in the zoo,for being transfer student.He just keep quiet and go to faculty office where he was directed to his future home room teacher.It was a woman in the middle of twenty.
"Nice to meet you,Little Luxia. You can call me Ms.Sophie,from now I will be your homeroom teacher."
Luxia nodded and said nothing,the teacher in front of him just giggled then guide him to the classroom.It was a very big classroom filled with 120 students,both luna and Elena were there and they waved their hand respectively.He noticed something weird since their gaze was so focused at him.The teacher's tone changed then immediately sit on teacher desk while smiling toward him and handed him microphone.
"Now Little Luxia please introduce yourself."
"My name is Luxia,nice too meet you all."
"Not that boring introduction,I want you to tell everyone here your level,nickname and finally your job at PLO."
....?Luxia looked as he didn't understand and take a peek on Luna and elena who just give him a sign to tell her the truth.Luxia then only said..
"Level 1,nickname Luxia and for job it was undecided."
"Ah?Then can you tell me how long you have been playing this game?"
Luxia can see everyone life reaction as their life sucked except Luna and Elena.Luxia could also see that Ms.Sophie trying her best to smile,but then his replied denied the last hope in everyone eyes.
"30 Minutes."
.....
No one said anything for 5 minutes,but then the Ms.Sophie said as no hope left.
"We were fucked."
Luxia right now really considering was it right choice to enter this academy to begin with.
