A portal suddenly appeared up above Mizuko and all she could see was someone's back. He was in clothing she has not seen in a while now. His arrival created a wave of energy, making the devil who was about to attack her fly in a fair distance.
"Dang, so this was the stinky smell!"
That voice! Mizuko's eyes widened, freezing in there. And then the man had turned around to confirmed her guess.
"Ke-Kenshi," she murmurs.
"Eh?" He curves a corner of his mouth upwards. "You sound like you know me."
"I-I—" She couldn't finish what she was going to say when she saw another devil coming. But to her surprise Kenshi just raised his hand and the demon exploded into pieces. This was like what he did that time when they went sneaking on a Fae.
The people in that cave village has been evacuated in the inner part of Yami. Morning came but Miranda still hasn’t heard from Mizuko and the others who fought that night. She was losing all hope when some villager shouted, pointing at somewhere.When Miranda saw Mizuko and Kozuko, she quickly run and hugged them both. “I thought I lost you both!” she cries, kissing Mizuko’s cheek and then to Kozuko.“I promise we’d be back,” Mizuko said, a smile plastered on her face.“Blue!” They glance at Keisuke’s way who just arrived from the Kingdom. When he saw Blue, he immediately hugged her, not minding Yushiro. “Are you hurt somewhere? I brought her highness with me.”When Mizuko saw Pixie fo
“Eh? But what did I do wrong?” Kenshi instantly followed her. “I’m just telling you what life I remember!”“Exactly!” Mizuko exclaimed. She stopped walking and faced him, her brows knitted together. As she looks into his eyes, she again was reminded that this guy in front of her is not her Kenshi. Not anymore. “Look, I don’t know anything about you. If you want to know more, like I said, go home.”Kenshi had a disappointed look on his face. She never really see this unless he was fighting someone.“I told you she didn’t know you.” To her surprise, Zed had showed up. But the voice, it isn’t Zed’s voice at all.Then another surprise came when Roya appeared. Mizuko couldn’t move and her round eyes were stuck at R
"His puzzle piece!" Mizuko screams, stomping her foot on the ground, her lips trembling in her anger. How could Kenshi do that? How could he look for another lady's name? And calling her his puzzle piece? Mizuko screams once again. "I want him dead again!""Calm down, Mizu! He might hear you." Blue told her with a chuckle. "He came back to you. Doesn't that mean anything? Of all people, it was you!""It was me but he doesn't recognize me! And then I promised him I'd come with him to their castle so he'd leave me alone!" Mizuko sighs heavily. "And the way he spoke is so different from before. He's like a city guy.""Keisuke hasn't said anything about his highness in a while. He often dismiss the topic.""You and Keisuke." Mizuko raised an eyebrow, her hands on her hips, looking all mighty at Blue. "Are you two together?""No! We are
What does he mean? Mizuko asked in her head. He was looking at her intensely with sparkling eyes. How? How does she make his heart hurt?Then just so suddenly Kenshi chortles, withdrawing his hand. This playfulness he has painted this blank expression on Mizuko's face."Don't you dare touch me next time!" Mizuko snapped, throwing a dirty glare before walking ahead of him. She heard the stupid Kenshi laughing but she's too hurt than upset."Aye, come on! You're too serious!"Mizuko didn't want to talk so she let him be loud as he gets. She was ignoring him. He wasn't the Kenshi she used to know anymore. She didn't know it was hard to be with him if you aren't someone he likes. Kenshi tells this unfavorable jokes and doing this rude caressing of her cheek ju
On the other side of Souzou, Hannock hears from his army a ridiculous story. The crown prince lives? Absurd! He was the one who killed Zhemier, his blade dug in his chest! Why must that demon live again!"Are you certain of it, Agars?" Hannock's voice rumbled in the throne room. "Wasn't it just some kind of witchcraft?!""No, my King. He has the same power you have. A snap of his fingers and one goes down. We would not retreat if we knew we weren't going to wind up dead on that land.""Agars is correct, our King. But something was wrong with him."It made Hannock raise his brows. Something was wrong? "What is it that you noticed, Kremlin?""I heard him asking Mizuko about himself. Though it was being playful since he has that little irritating smirk on his face..." Kremlin starts moving his hands, walking back and forth that the King could not understand.
Kenshi was quick to arrive at the site where his crystals told him but Mizuko wasn’t there anymore. Then he suddenly felt a sharp dull pain in his chest, enough to make him crinkle his nose.“If you were just here a little sooner, master.” Hikari’s voice was soothing like his mother’s.“Destiny has its own timing. It’s not mine to decide,” he uttered.“I bet you won’t be able to sleep tonight without seeing her,” said Yami with his teasing voice.“If so then I’ll have to see her then!” A big grin displayed on Kenshi’s mouth that had their eyes round.“What do you mean, master?” They ask
At the kitchen, Mizuko kept thinking how to get rid of Kenshi. A glass of water has been in her hand for quite the time now and she has been biting her lower lip too. It would be crazy for him to come out when he knows he didn't come from the door."Seems like there's a lot in your mind."Mizuko raise her head and saw her brother with a smile. She immediately fixed herself as her brother stands beside her. "You okay? I heard you and Kenshi went to the palace today.""Ye-Yes, I am fine!" She nervously chuckles. "And yes, we went to the castle. He wanted me to come along with him.""Do you want to talk about what happened or..." Kozuko glances at Mizuko."Nothing much happened, brother!" She walk past Kozuko and put down the glass of water on the sink
Two moons had passed by and Mizuko hasn’t heard of Kenshi—she hopes she doesn’t anymore. It would just be harder after that little incident they have inside her room.How dare him say those words? It makes her blood boil so much. He wasn’t just sorry for the kiss, he was looking for somebody else! She’s been really annoyed by Kenshi lately.“Are you okay, Mizu?” Blue asked, her voice as sweet as a cotton candy. “You have been pulling weeds like you’re pulling somebody else’s hair.”Mizuko then chuckles nervously. Her mind is easily diverted from what she should be thinking. She shakes her head and focused on what they are doing.“I apologize. I can’t help feeling bad for the plants. These weeds are taking all the nutrients,” she tells Blue wh
