Hikari Origin: Hitaku Quest
_The Second Step_
Chapter 1
Sabu-sama told Hikari to sent him about his location. So, Hikari just sent it to Sabu-sama and Sabu-sama told him to wait there for a while and wait for someone to pick him up. Hikari says to Sabu-sama that he does not need to do something like that because he can just walk there. But Sabu-sama tells him that they already go. Hikari just can't believe that they will do something like that because it was too mean for him. Maybe it was acceptable for him because Sabu-sama sent someone to pick him up. So he didn't say anything about it. Hikari was thinking that maybe he will meet with a lot of people there since it was a tournament. But he just didn't know what should he do to greet a people there and at that time, Yami says to him "You do not need to worry about it. Leave everything to me!" Hikari knows that he can't believe in Yami just like that. But for some reason, maybe there were things that Yami was useful for. He can't confirm anything yet. So he needs to get ready for a new p
So he just hears on it."Hey, do you have any girlfriend?""Gi-girlfriend?! What's up with that? Wait, why with all of sudden?"The driver just laughed when he saw Hikari reaction. He says to Hikari that he can know the answer just when did he hear that. Hikari keeps telling the driver that he didn't have one. But the driver didn't believe in it. The driver says to him that it was okay, to tell the truth and he says to Hikari that it was no need to be shy. He laughed then he tells Hikari the reason why did he asks that kind of question "Well, I just wanted to asks you this because I have seen you walked with 2 girls before. It looks like you were having fun with them. So that's why." Hikari just didn't believe it that there were actually have some of the people that were watching them at that time. Hikari thought that there will be no one who will ask them about it. But it just out of his expe
When they were looking at the event preparation, suddenly there was one man who comes to them and asks them "Sorry if I'm interrupting you. Did three of you will participate in this upcoming event?" Hikari just smiled at that man and nods his head telling them that it was true. Then that man told them to follow him to the stage. They rejected it because they didn't think that they should disturb the people who were doing a preparation. But that man says to them "You do not need to worry, it was me who created this event. So, maybe it was okay if I take three of you to take a look at it.""Ehh!?! For real?!"The man just laughed when he saw their reaction. He says to them that he was not lying about it and let them enter the stage and talk with them. But before that, he introduced his name to them "I'm Suzuki Yuto, I was the leader of-" Neu told him to stop and tell him that they already know it. Nimura asks Suzuki
"Don't mad at me, I just think that maybe it was a good way for us. Because... We're a team, right?"Three of them just looked at him and it causes him freezes. Hikari didn't say anything about it and just wait for them to give a response from what did he just talked about. Neu asks Hikari "Both of you didn't plan for this to happen right?" Hikari just nodded his head and they started to think about it. Hikari was out of idea about what makes them think like that. He just got a bad feeling about it for some reason. But he just hoping that nothing would happen.Neu walked ahead and says "I know that it was not a bad idea at all. But what will happen if we combine it?" Nimura and Sabu-sama started to figure it out while Hikari just stands still and looking at them. Yami asks Hikari "Hey, stop acting like this. You're making me feel uncomfortable. Want me to take a turn?" Hikari quickly disagrees with it and just wait for their re
They all return to their room after that. Hikari looked at his phone and try to forget about what did just happened. Since there was nothing for him to do left, Hikari just enters the Quantum memory and going to get relieved.But when he closed his eyes and enter the quantum memory, Hikari saw Yami was looking after his memory with Aimi. Hikari just looked at Yami and says "Hey, what the heck are you doing?"Yami didn't scared of it or anything. He says to Hikari "Whatever that I'm doing got nothing to do with you. Just sit there and don't disturb me." Hikari didn't hear what did Yami said and go to him. Hikari says to him "Hey, just stop it. What kind of things are you doing?" Yami didn't want to do as did Hikari say. He tells Hikari that he just got something that wants to investigate. Maybe it was logical if Yami was investigating Hikari past. But Yami was looking after his moment with Aimi. Hikari asks Yami about it and Yami explains to
Hikari was so shocked when he saw the person who holds that competition because it was one of his friends when he joined one company before. Neu asks Hikari "Why with that? You got a problem with it?" Hikari just shooked his head and smiled. Then they just hear what did that man going to tell them."Good afternoon everyone, So here we will hold on a competition of making a strip manga or a short manga for all of you. There are no other requirements that you need to do to join this competition than a skill to draw. So, do you mind if you introduce your name to everyone?"Hikari was so shocked when he heard that. He looks at the other team and it seems like they're ready to introduce their group name. Hikari looked at Neu and Nimura "So, both of you are going to do this right?" They shooked their head and looked at Sabu-sama. Sabu-sama was thinking about it too. Just after he made up a decision in his mind. He looked at Hik
The host tells them the details about the event. Then he told them to go to the table that has been prepared for them to use. Since it was an event for a drawing, all of the things that they need to use to draw has been prepared at the table. So there will be no problem for them.Hikari and Neu looked for things that were suitable for them to use there. But before they're going to take a look at it, Hikari says to Nimura "You know, I will appreciate it if you can help us on developing the idea." Nimura just nodded his head and says that he will try it out. When Hikari and Neu were looking for the things that they can use, Hikari says Neu "I don't really know what kind of things that I should use, maybe I should just use this." Hikari takes a pencil and waits for Neu. Neu just takes the same things as him and goes away. By that, Hikari can know that Both he and Neu were drawing with the same style. But Hikari believes that Neu is more superior to hi
That man let the audience know about the story that has been made by all of those groups. But it seems like the story that they make will be shown to them. Neu and Nimura take that chance to read a story that has been edited by Hikari to see about Hikari potential in writing a story. Since Akaru tell them that Hikari was good at it. They just hope that nothing bad will happen.The members of the other party meet with Hikari and got a question for him. It causes he was busy with it. Maybe it because of everything that just happened back then. Because it was weird when the host talks a lot just only with them."Hey, It was weird when someone like you got attention from someone like the host. Did both of you know each other?"Hikari shooked his head and tell them that it was not like what did they're thinking about. Hikari says to them "Calm down, Calm down! I'm not going to win thi
But when Hikari swing that baton and going to hit Aniliast, suddenly there was something that fall to the ground. Aniliast dodged the attacks and he was a bit shocked when he looked at the baton that Hikari use. Hikari then looked at the baton and it was a knife-baton with the cover. The thing that wall on the ground is just the cover. Hikari was never expected that since he had never seen it before. So maybe with that, he can win by just injuring Aniliast or just knocking him down. Because he was so sure that Aniliast will behave with that knife and dodge. So when Aniliast dodged it, he can take that opportunity to just knock him down. Hikari was thinking that maybe that was just the only way for him to win. So he just does it.Ageru were walking in front of the Sabu-sama building to look around since Akaru asked the hackers to watch the situation there. She didn't see anything weird there and she also didn't believe it at all. Because usually, the other organi
Nimura keep searching around there until he found something. Then suddenly they heard Sabu-sama's voice."What are you doing? How long did you want me to wait for you? It was just an easy way that you can use to go up here. Don't let me wait for you any longer."When Neu heard that he asks Hikari if he remembered which room that they had never entered all this time? Hikari never roamed around the building before. So he says to Neu that he never goes to any room in there. Nimura then gets into the talk and he says to Neu "It has been along. But I was just thinking that maybe that I have entered into a room that has another door in it. When Sabu-sama told me to go there. He says to me that there was a secret in that room. So maybe we should go there." They were not worried about that. So they then told Nimura to show them the way there. But since it was dark and they have lost there, Nimura says to them that maybe it will be hard for them to find it. Then the
There is a way for them to go straight to the next stairs, but the way was filled with a lot of people. It seems like there were people there who are going to get transferred to another place. So they want to avoid disturbing the workers and need to find any other way to there.When they looked around, they didn't see anyone else there. Hikari saw that it looks like there was another door that they can use to get through the workers from the office room. So Hikari says to Neu and Nimura maybe they can just enter the office and go from there. They agreed with it but they were just thinking that maybe they should just wait for the cleaner to do his work and they will get upstairs by the same stairs. But Hikari didn't think that maybe they should just waste their time on that. So maybe they should just go to the other stairs than wait for the cleaner. That sounds right, so they just decide to go to other stairs. But Neu didn't think that they should just enter the office without
Sabu-sama know that Nimura was not there. He didn't want to go announce the winner if both teams is not ready yet. He wants to make things quick since that is not the end of that day. But it won't be fun if both teams didn't have a complete member there. So Sabu-sama says to Neu "Can't you guys call him over here now? I don't think the other team wants to wait for it." Neu knows that maybe the other team got something that they want to do after knowing about the competition result. So he says to Sabu-sama that he got it and he then goes to the place that they separated with Nimura before.Hikari was thinking that maybe he should go with Neu. But maybe he shouldn't because he got something that he wants to look around there. So he says to Neu to make sure that he will return fast. Neu got it and he says to Hikari that are not going to buy anything weird to him. Hikari got it and Neu then go to Nimura. It was a long way to there, maybe it will take a longer time. So Hikar
Neu and Nimura were so weird that Hikari want to keep that one a secret. But since they have been together all the way, Maybe they can figure it out one day. So after all of them has done with their food, they then just return to their room. Chapter 12 _The Another Start_ When Hikari was taking a rest inside of his room, he just wondering which team will win the competition. However, it seems like Sabu-sama and the leader of the other group were close with each other. There is a lot of weird things that he saw during the competition to
When Akaru returned to the Hitaku table, he saw that the other team have completed their work in just 30 or fewer minutes. It was a shock for him and Hitaku to see that. But they didn't say anything about it since maybe the other team is a professional creator or something. They still haven't introduced their name yet. Are they were hiding their identity from Hitaku? It was weird for them but they didn't expect anything from that.Since both teams have completed their work, Sabu-sama then announced to them that he want to end the competition quickly and going to let the people there look at the manga that they made. They are all okay with it and at that time, one of the guys from the other team goes to Hikari and says to Hikari "There is something that I want to talk personally with you if you don't mind it. Should we go somewhere else to talk?" Hikari got a bad feeling from the start of the event when he saw the people from the other team it was weird for him to know t
Hikari just wondering why did the other leader were looking at them. Did he just want to know them well? Maybe that was why did he do that. But Hikari think that it was the whole team that was looking at them. Their leader seems like it was okay to talk and guide them, but their action is way too weird than what did he had seen before. It looks like they can't do anything without any guidance from anyone. It was so weird and it make Hikari think about "Is the other team was using an AI as their member to participate in this? Since the AI is still not perfectly built, that's why there was a problem on them." But when he was thinking about that, maybe the leader should just control them from afar. What will make him come that close and talk to them? There were also people who need a guide from someone. Maybe they're a person like that. So Hikari then tries to talk with Yami again. But Yami didn't answer him. It was the same thing as before. Hikari then started to feel like Yami has be
There are still about 3-4 hours for them to finish the draw and editing. Nimura didn't have any problem with editing but he just thinking if Hikari and Neu can complete the drawings within the time. But from the way that he looked at them, they both are professional artists. Maybe it will not be a problem for them. But for some reason, he just worried that it will make them stressed up. So he just tries to finish the editing quickly before he will become late and make them more stressed.Hikari can work with Neu about the drawing since Neu can imagine the image by himself. Neu draws his own character as the main character. He tells Hikari that he will draw every scene that the character will appear.Hikari agreed with that and he tell Neu that he will tell Neu about the scene on where did the character will appear. Also, he will handle the background character that will appear in the story. It was not something easy, but he just keep on it s
When Neu was writing the storyline, Hikari was just looking away and waiting for Neu to finish it. For some reason, Hikari was thinking "I thought that I'm the one who needs help here. But well, human is human." Hikari was thinking that maybe he should help Neu develop some idea about that. But when he thought about it again, Hikari didn't think that he should. So he then just keep looking around. Since they have discussed that Nimura will help Neu with editing the story, Nimura saw that Neu is still got a problem with writing the story. So he goes and gives Neu some help. Nimura asks Neu "Have you got any idea about what kind of things that you should write?" Neu then started thinking about it. He tells Nimura that he was not sure about what should he write that would make everyone who reads it feel like it was an interesting story. When Nimura heard that, Nimura tell him that maybe he should write a type of story that was trending right now since he watched an Anime before. Nimura
