The moment finally came when all of the warriors needed to say their good byes to their loved ones and their homes. Those who go to war either comes back or stays in the battlefield.
As everyone marches to cross the border and enter the borderland Pinress, Mizuko glances side by side. She has been into war a couple of times already. This shouldn't make her feel overwhelmed but it does. The fact that, her family and friends was there, that she could lose them terrifies her.
The stressing part is, she can't get a hold of Kenshi. He is supposed to be with them in this war but he is nowhere to be found. Though she is secured by any harm here, she isn't safe from the promise she made with Pixie. Hannock could target only Kenshi but she is relieved that Kenshi wasn't here.

Their enemies were captured as they surrender and Kozuko announced their win against the devil. It was time to take their Kingdom back.Hannock decided to disappear out of their sight. After all, all of his magic were taken by Kenshi and all he can do now is live a life in the shadows.It was like Hanabi had spoken to him once more while his feet were reached by the golden water. For the first time in a while he felt warm and he felt the embrace of his sister. He longed to feel it again and Kenshi made him feel it again.Now Hannock finally accepts the fact that only someone who didn't need the crystals could control it. Someone like Kenshi is most suitable for those crystals.As Hannock roams Pinress,
Back in the world of Souzou, three months after the battle, the liveliness of the Kingdom came back. The children would run freely. Demons and humans are free to cross borders now.They have come to understand that each is alike each other. That the Demonic rule will be honored and respected by the humans as their thanks for helping them free their kingdom from the devils.Today, they celebrate the crowning of the new king and everyone is present. Demon and humans came, the King and Queen together with the crown princess had also attended. Well, some human were still scared of the king and Queen as they appear too powerful but as soon as they saw the smiles they felt relieved.The ceremony was perfect, the crowds cheer and when they saw their new King, the roarin
"I will never ever make a promise with a demon." Both edges of her mouth curved up as she crosses her heart and raise her hand halfway.The beautiful woman smiled brightly at the little girl who just made a promise to her. It was only for a moment until her smile slowly faded and her eyes were seen with deep worry.With a shaking hand, the woman tried to reach her little one but stopped halfway. The markings on her arm showed as her loosen up long sleeves withdraw, she trembled more.Waters flooded her eyes knowing she wouldn't last long enough to watch her little one grow up."Mummy, what's wrong?" The little girl must've noticed.Immediately, she wiped her tears and sniffed the worries out of her face."There's nothing wrong, my love."Her daughter's innocent eyes pierced at hers and she could feel nothing more than being terrified over an uncertainty."Listen to me," she tucked the little girl's hair against the ear. "I know
If a flower makes room for an unwanted weed, do flowers slowly die? Will the weed take over the pot? Or will they stay in harmony together? Can they promise that neither one of them will die?••"Mizuko, table 11!""Mizuko, table 7 please!""Mizuko! Table 3!"Those are the most exhausting words Mizukohears every night at the resto she works at. She's a waitress and it's never an easy job especially when it's a busy night.Every time she picks up a tray, she sighs heavily. If she had an option, she would not work at this resto but life is harsh and cruel. If you don't work hard, you'll die of starvation."Sorry to keep you working this late, honey." Madam Vergie told Mizukowith an apologetic expression on her face."It's no problem, madam. You pay me and I work. It's how life works," she answered, flashing a smile and picking up another tray again.When the clock struck eleven, serving w
"Forgive me, my Lord but... the dark prince has once again escaped our guards," the minister of defense had informed the King of the land of Hikari himself."Hmm..." The King sitting on the throne started thinking about the best way to get rid of this nuisance. "The next time that demon shows up, execute him!""But my Lord, wouldn't it cause trouble with the King of Yami?""I can't just let that demon foolishly destroy our land for fun! And aren't we already in an edge of a promise?""I understand, my Lord." The minister heavily sighed and bowed his head once more. "I am taking my leave now." He stepped back and turn his back against the king.As soon as the minister was out of the room, the head eunuch serving the king calmly stepped forward."Your Majesty, it's time to head back to your chamber as it's getting late," Nozumo, the head eunuch told the king."I've tried so hard to get to this throne! I will not let anyone from Hikari n
When Keisukeovercame his shock, he immediately pulled his sword out and aim at the unconscious lady in his master's arms."Yo, move the sword away! She's asleep," Kenshimoved Keisuke's sword away."Fuwa Fuwa!"Kenshilooked at his Kebano."Really? I can't quite figure which kingdom she's from." He looked at Keisuke. "Can you?""Nope.""Fuwa fuwa.""Let's ask her when she wakes up, Zed. Let's not dive to conclusions," Kenshisaid and looked down at the lady again.It's a young lady, with fair skin. Her hair is long black and reaches just below her waist turning a flame orange color as it passes her elbows. She has a pretty face and long lashes which made Kenshismile.A pretty face lady from the sky. She doesn't seem like a demon, he thought. His eyes widened, she must be from Hikari! He stared more with a plan on his head."Let's camp here tonight," Kenshiuttered. "Ah, Keisuk
Mizuko could hear indistinct chatters and she softly groans while slowly opening her eyes. The first she saw were faded brown eyes, it was almost gold but when she notice the grin on his face and his fangs showing, her brows knitted.“Oh! The pretty lady is awake!”As soon as she realized it was the man riding that big cat, she abruptly sit up hitting her forehead with the guy. They both yelled, and Mizuko touched her forehead, moving away from the guy, taking a twig from her side and pointing it towards him.“Who the hell are you? Did you kidnap me?” She angrily asked, breathing heavily. Oh forget the damn gorgeous eyes of that man, she has to know where the heck this place was.“Easy there, lady. I don’t think that will help you. If you want, I’ll give you my dagger. What do ya’ say?”Mizuko kept her glare at the man even though her hands were trembling. She swallowed hard as her gaze shifted
Mizuko gasped, shoving away Kenshi's hand. Did the dude just really put his pinky around hers? She stares at him intensely with a disgusted look on her face."You are not to touch me without my permission!" she yells."My apologies, lady." His hands were raised. "I've no harm intended, I just want to be sure you'll commit.""Commit to what? It's not like there is somewhere I can run to here. I'd end up getting lost!"It's true. Just look at the trees up ahead of them! They are so tall, so thick and it sure is dark inside that forest, Mizuko knows."Quite accurate." He raised a side of his mouth. "But remember not to run away from me or else you'll be doomed before you know it in this land. From your clothing, I can tell you are not from around here."Oh yes, she's in somewhere she isn't familiar with. Why is she acting so calm? Well, Mizuko reads about aliens and different dimensions. She believes in anything impossible but she never actuall

In the middle of training, Blue had excused herself when Keisuke showed up at their training site. They've really not talk so much about them these days."I know this is a bit sudden but, I would like to ask for your time tonight."Keisuke couldn't look straight in Blue's eyes. He has not really asked a girl before so naturally he is not so confident to ask."I-I can't," Blue replied that actually made Keisuke abruptly look at her."Why? Are you doing something later? Training?""No, it's just... my brother. We agreed to have dinner together later. You see, we are going to war tomorrow and I might not be able to spend time with him anymore so we decided to have that dinner."Now he understands why. He should have asked her yesterday but
For her third and fourth day, Mizuko spent it all with Kenshi. They went swimming on the river, the other one camping. They stargazed and wish on shooting stars. In all those days, Mizuko wished she could do those again with Kenshi. She wished she wasn’t blinded by revenge then.“Mermaids here are very terrible. They drown people they do not like,” Mizuko told Kenshi.One time when she decided to come along with her father’s mission, they needed to cross the sea. She heard a beautiful melody and she didn’t notice she was under a spell until her brother covered her ears.“They are not all bad. They are actually fond of things in the land,” Kenshi retorts.“You a
I am in love with you. Those words are spiraling inside of Mizuko's head. They don't seem to disappear no matter what she does, his voice was everywhere.Kenshi looked too serious to even take it back and he didn't take it back. It made everything worse for Mizuko. That when they came back to Souzou, she ran away from him. It was like a dejavu from when one of them confessed and she ran away. She herself barely even remember that embarrassing moment."Ugh! Why did I have to run away from him again? It's embarrassing!" She groans, her hands on her face and pulling them down."Love problems?" Kozuko who was wiping his blade asked her. She then nodded. "So he finally admitted to you his feelings. Good thing. I don't see why you have to groan like that.""I ra
After the announcement, Mizuko decided to stay away from the crowd and went her way to the training section. But then Pixie had followed and called her which she turn around to."Your highness," she calls and lowered her head for some moment and raised it."I saw the way my brother looked at you," Pixie said. It made her gulped. "You must remember our promise.""I am very well aware, your highness.""Good. Stay away from my brother as it is good for the both of you." Before Pixie leaves, he wanted to remind Mizuko of their promise. "You are not to tell brother about you and him. Nor is anybody allowed to tell him. If he knows, it's your life's cost.""What?" Mizuko was surprised to hear the rest of it. Did she mishear it or she really just forgot? "But I only promised not to tell you
A week. How can she decide in a week? How will she make a week count? Will she really be able to tell him? But how can she betray him too?Mizuko released a heavy sigh, her head down. She has all the ingredients now but she feels like it has no use anymore. There's no way she'd let Kenshi hear the truth from someone else but her. It's better to do it herself than let Hannock have Kenshi."Ah! I'm doomed!" Mizuko shouts in despair, grabbing her hair. "What do I do?""Are you alright, Mizuko?" Blue who is done hitting all her target came to sit with her under the shade. "I thought you had gotten all the ingredients?""I have but like I said, my uncle has threatened me to telling Kenshi. I have a week.""Let him do it than betray Kenshi or die.""It would be better
Mariposas is like another world really bright, Mizuko's dream place when she was so much younger. It was a pixie place but much bigger and so much magical. It was breathtaking there until the mariposas saw Kenshi. One flew in an unprecedented speed towards Kenshi then another and then another and almost all of them that she wasn't even entertained.Mizuko was being pushed over to the side. She can't even see Kenshi anymore with all those mariposas surrounding him. Now this is what she hated the most. Now she is wishing she had just did a little briefing with Kenshi.She is a damn extra in this world of beautiful people with gorgeous butterfly wings. Her eyes drooped in boredom as she sits down on a rock frustratingly watching Kenshi with all those females.
