{Back then? Oh! You meant when that Giulio guy attacked us?}

“Yeah, that.”

{Isn’t everything went fine? There was that weird, suspicious voice that made you went all weird for a moment, but you snapped back and defeat him right?}

Mii answered casually.

I could even imagine her answering while waving her hand as if she thought it was a small problem.

“That is the problem! What I remembered and what you said I did was different!”

{Different? How so?}

“Listen closely… I want you to help me think… I felt that something is missing but no matter how hard I think, I can’t find the irregularity anywhere.”

************************************

I am floating.

‘This is an unusual sensation…’ I thought.

I am fixed in a position behind my self… and am floating…

And in front of me is… a dangerous scene is happening.

I am seeing my self went berserk.

Claws was forming on my hands and feet.

Red line and cracks formed on every surface of my body.

‘My human body is broken’ that is what I thought.

“Grrrr!!! Graaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!”

Suddenly I… no… it screamed and howled to the sky.

‘That sword… is that… ?’

The grotesque looking sword finished forming, and then… Some of the places on my body turned a bit transparent, and from there… red-ish bubbles started appearing.

‘Those are…? ‘

Not long after they float, they explode with an overwhelming power.

‘How can…?! what is happening?!’

I’m not supposed to be able to influence the real world with my magic!

I can’t use magic, that is a fact… I guessed that my mana field may be incomplete during my body’s creation.

But why is that thing able to invoke magic to the outside world?! Did it just brute forced it way through?!  This is dangerous… my mana are too large and dense… so dense in fact that it can suffocate someone due to its pressure if it leak!

I tried to yell… but nothing came out.

I tried to shout at Myu, Lia, Rein, and Anne… but my mouth only opened and closed without any sound coming out.

‘Move damn it! Get away! Run away! Don’t try to reason with this thing!!!’

Some of the onlookers tried to ‘help’ it… but only seconds after they came close to this thing… they were sliced into countless small pieces.

‘I told you!!! Run away!!!!!’

The danger that I felt… why can’t nobody realize this?! The overwhelming presure that it exudes are as thick as miasma! Run away!!!

‘Ugh!!? These..!? Are these it’s thoughts?!’

They were so overwhelmingly incoherent, it made me nauseated…

It felt like I was doused with an extremely cold water as countless informations were injected into my mind.

While I was still confused from the sudden event, it started to walk towards the crowd.

“Grrrr…”

While releasing a low growl, it killed anyone that stand on it’s way.

I desperately tried to stop it’s advance but when I tried to move away for a little I always got pulled back to where I was.

Nothing that I did helped me in any way…

And in a short while…

Hell was unleashed.

Buildings were in fire.

Screams could be heard from throughout the city.

Blood were scattered on the ground.

Limbs and corpses are everywhere.

Giulio was first.

Then all the other adventurers that tried to stop it.

Then Soliet…

Then Lia…

Then Anne…

Then Rein…

All the people that weren’t able to run away…

Every time it swings it’s sword, every time it killed…

I screamed, I shouted, I cursed at my inability to do anything.

I could only watch as it killed the people that I once knew…

My heart is heavy, tears falling uncontrollably.

Then…

Myu… she stood on the city’s entrance, shaking…

And behind her were… children… cowering in fear. She is protecting them.

“K-kuma-chan…? C-can you please… return back to normal? P-please help me train again… we had only done it once r-right? You said you are going to help me become a first rate m-magician right? Please pat my head again… it felt good you k-know?”

Tears started falling from her eyes as she reached her hands towards me/it.

But it walked.

‘No…’

Every step…

‘Don’t…’

Brought it closer to her…

‘Why…’

When finally… it stood in front of her… it raised it’s grotesque sword…

Myu still has a hopeful gaze on her eyes as she watched the sword swung down.

And it was at that moment…

I saw a figure of a girl overlapped on Myu’s figure.

A girl with slightly long bob hair, smiling softly at me…

‘STOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!’

‘…..’

It walked away after it killed all the children.

Even though the sad screams of the children are supposed to make one’s heart break. 

I can’t. Is it because it already broke?

I realized that I could move freely now, but I didn’t care.

How could I let this happened?

Terrified, sad, angry, many emotions swirl around in my heart, creating an absolute mess.

With hollow eyes, I stood here… until my consciousness fades away.

************************************

{That… happened? Are you sure that is not a dream? After all… you fainted as soon as you won the fight…}

“There’s no way it’s a dream… it was too real… the dread I felt back then… I could feel it clearly even now…”

I answered with conviction in my voice.

The feelings…

{I think you should rest first Kuma… you looks bad… pale…}

She separated from my body using , and took a closer look on my face.

“Really? … Maybe I should…”

While she is in this form she only appeared as a small blob of slime.

She said that she can also turned to a human form, but because the mana cost is too much she doesn’t want to use it.

“To save your mana Kuma! Even if you have a ridiculous amount of mana… you can’t be too frugal with it!” That was what she said.

‘Hahaha…’

Then I walked to the bed and lay down.

As my mind wander, my consciousness is starting to feel tired… then my eyes are slowly becoming heavier by the second, then I fell asleep.

…….

{Kuma? Are you asleep? Kuma?}

While still using separation, I poked at Kuma’s face a couple times to made sure that he is asleep.

{Good grief… rest well…}

I moved away to the corner of the room under the drawer.

{Now… let’s have a chat with my creator… shall we?}

A pale golden lights shined from my small body and slowly enveloped me.

{I have got lots of questions for Valkuria…}

With that sentence, my consciousness left my body.
