It’s been six years since my parents were gone— no matter how much I wished, they never returned.
It’s really depressing when I can’t even recall their faces.
After all, my parents didn’t even leave their pictures behind…
What remains with me are my hazy memories.
While Kuroyuki and I finally sat down for our lunch, I told her about my parents’ disappearance that happened six years ago, at the Forest of the Black & White.
…It was painful to recall those memories, but at the same time, I also felt relieved that Restia and the others were doing well.
The effort that I devoted to them for six years has finally borne fruit— but… it’s coming to an end soon.
‘I’m going to die soon.’
As if I could easily say such words to the gir
While taking her seat next to me, Kuroyuki turns our chairs so that we could face each other.“…How are you going to retrieve that sword…?” She asked.“Well, with Nightwalker’s strength, of course.”My reply made Kuroyuki tilt her head, where she seems to be dumbfounded.“…What about the gravity magic…?”“Magic won’t work on me,” I replied.“…How is this possible…?!” Kuroyuki was completely surprised to hear that.After all, a person with no mana like Kuroyuki could still be affected by magic spells— in fact, they practically had zero resistance against magic.Unlike me… which I’m entirely unaffected by it.However, let me make it clear— magic spells coul
Maybe it's because I'm the second half personality of Lucifer Nightwalker von Nightmare. Unlike Nightwalker, there are times I'd like to be alone. When I'm alone, I tend to have some meaningless thoughts flowing inside my head. Like, 'who am I?' Lucifer Nightmare, the second half personality of Lucifer Nightwalker von Nightmare, the son of Lucione Nightwalker von Nightmare and EveTwo P. N. Transcend, the brother of Restia Nightwalker von Nightmare, the master of Ruby, et cetera. Even if I had my answers, more keeps on popping up. 'Why am I Lucifer Nightwalker von Nightmare's second personality?' Because I'm the second half of him. 'Why am I Lucifer Nightwalker von Nightmare? Why wasn't I born from another family?' Because if it weren't for my family, Lucifer Nightwalker von Night
"Is that so…?"I couldn't tell that she was here because I don't have Presence Sensing. Even if I had, as long as she erases her presence without attacking, I won't be able to tell that she's here.That said, Kuroyuki tied her hair in a ponytail. She changed her clothes to grey long-sleeved sportswear and her upper bodyline well hidden by a black sportswear jacket."…As I thought, you couldn't tell my presence— even if you could see my attacks coming," Kuroyuki said to me."Because Nightwalker had 'Presence Sensing' instead of me." I replied."…No wonder both of you could sense my attacks."I can't seem to continue this conversation. It's going nowhere."So? What brings you here?" I asked. "Are you perhaps worried of me~?""… It's hard not to." She heaved a cold sigh.
"More… than that…?" I inadvertantly murmured. "Kuroyuki… are you expecting me to reach your level…?""…I won't ask for the impossible." Kuroyuki said to me with a stern look.And some hints of pity in her eyes."That said… you seemed to know that those guys aren't your ordinary people.""…It was frustrating," Kuroyuki murmured with her brows slightly furrowed. "…It only took me one exchange to understand that I could never surpass their talents no matter how hard I try."This means August Whisperwind, Persia Silverlight, Crimson Veludora Blaze, Kronos Y Chronoclock and Rumelia Heartlock is strong enough to make even Kuroyuki Shiroha acknowledge them."Let's start with August Whisperwind, then," I murmured. "I know you were going all out against August when you are exchanging blows with your swords."
Which then, Kuroyuki took a cat-foot stance. …I'm surprised. Her form is excellent. “A Nekoashi-Dachi (猫足立ち). This is a Karate-Do (空手道)." I answered. "…In just one glance…?" Kuroyuki inadvertently murmured. Oh, I was correct. "That's because you had a solid form. Are you perhaps, skilled in karate…?" Somehow, Kuroyuki's eyes looked up for a split second. "…A little." She answered after blinking twice. She's humble than I thought. Kuroyuki then switched to a fighting right-grip. "A Kumi Kata (組み方)…? It's Judo (柔道)?" "………………" Kuroyuki then switched her stance without replying. A standing technique— tachi waza (立技). Back stance— dwi-kubi (뒷굽이). Ho
“Three… times?” I inadvertently murmured.Just by hearing those words alone is already enough to understand that Kuroyuki Shiroha’s childhood friend— Lucifer Vermillion, is a madman.“Like… how…?” I added.“…I bit off the artery on his neck when we met for the first time,” Kuroyuki told me.“…!?”It felt so unbelievable that I thought she was joking with me.I only know it was real because of the sombre smile on her face.What had she been through that she needs to kill by biting off the artery of someone on their neck…?“…Do you, perhaps, want me to bite off your neck?”Kuroyuki’s voice is somehow, seductive.Did she do so on purpose just so she could
“GYARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!?”The pain from the ‘Twenty Seals’ woke me up.“Huff— Huff— Huff—”Nightmare he… fainted…!?“…What’s wrong…?!”Not long after I screamed, Kuroyuki came in from the door to the classroom.“…Are you okay…?” She said to me with a worried look.Which then, she placed her forefinger on my forehead, seeming to check my temperature.“Ugh… y-yeah… I… I’m fine…” I replied to her while getting up from my bed.But it seems she’s ignoring me.“…37.1 degrees.” She murmured. “…N. Dinner’s almost ready. Take a shower if you like.”
"Y-Y-You are telling her to look after me…?!" I retorted. "What were you thinking, Restia…!?""Then, your second choice is me," Restia told me."…Restia, you should know what happens if you don't listen to 'me,'" I warned."That's why I had her to do my job.""Please, just charge me a fee or something," I said to Kuroyuki. "…I can't just have you listen to my little sister's selfish request.""…I already did." She replied.As expected from her. That was quick."…Is it about your childhood friend…?" I asked."…N." Kuroyuki nodded."I've spread the news on social media and some websites," Restia murmured. "Unfortunately… the chances of it is just as good as zero.""…I understand," Kuroyuki said to Restia. "&he
