I have been in this new world for about three years now, I understand most words in this new language, I have come to a realization that this isn't what you would normally call earth.
It has supposed monsters from the stories I hear from the guy who is my Father in this world, which means it is actually a cool fantasy world!
I think my name is something like Natsuo, I haven't heard my last name yet so that is still a mystery.
My Father in this world's name is Akio and the Mother in this world is named Yua, life is strange here but everything seems to be more simple.
"Natsuo, where are you?"
"Mama, what is this?"
I hold up a bottle with a red liquid in it, it looks like a health potion from a video game.
"That is a potion sweetie, but do not touch it, they are very valuable and expensive."
So I was right!
I wonder what it does, wait, I was right?
So does that mean there are things like magic and real monsters?
Or is she just pulling my leg about this potion?
"What does it do?"
I look at her in the eyes, she has brown hair like Julie...
I miss her...
"Well, it makes your wounds not hurt and heal faster."
I was even more right, looks like the nerdy stage I had for a few years in the past life was good for something!
She picked up the bottle and put it in a high place, she then proceeded to walk out of the room.
I get up and walk to my room, I have a few toys but I mostly watch the Father in this world swing a sword around.
He was an adventurer until he fell in love with my Mother, after that, they moved here with the treasures they earned.
It wasn't much but we aren't all that poor, we are a good half-week walk away from the capital.
"What kind of books do they have..."
I get up and walk around the house, I see a study room and walk into it.
There are six books, three of which I could tell are storybooks, the others look mysterious and I can't tell what they are.
"Mama!"
I call for my Mother and she walks into the room, I point at the other books and she smiles.
"You are one curious boy, that is a book about magic!"
Well, well, well. Looks like I will be a powerful person, after all, it's obvious!
Since I have been reincarnated and I actually remember my past this is a sign, a sign that I will be powerful!
"Can we read it, Mama?"
"Well, it's not really easy to read to someone but we can teach you how to read in these upcoming years."
I nod and she walks out of the room, I grab a book and flip through the pages.
Looks like any magic book would look like, I can't wait to be a cool hero!
I stumble back onto my feet and walk around, adventuring is nice but I can't do much since I am so small.
So walking is my only option.
I get downstairs and see an unfamiliar face, a young girl's face, she seemed around the same age as me, but I could be wrong.
Behind her stands my Father and a blonde-haired man, they seem to be talking.
The girl stands at me and looks down, is she shy?
She is also blonde and her hair well longer, well it was kinda long.
It goes a bit farther than the shoulders, like in between the butt and shoulders.
Her eyes were yellow, I think the man is her father because they look very similar.
"Ah, perfect, Natsuo meet Emilia."
He points towards the little girl, then he points to the man.
"This is Mark, our neighbor."
Neighbor?
A little girl?
Are you trying to make us friends?
No, I will not go through that again! You can't make me!
I ran upstairs and into my room, shutting myself in.
I do not need any new childhood friends, no thank you, I may have a fresh start with an advantage but that is still too much to bear right now...
"You can't hide Natsuo, just conversate for a bit, you need friends when growing up."
He opens up the door and I see Mark push in Emilia, she looks at me, we made eye contact.
Nope, I will not be your friend!
"H-Hi..."
She talked first, now you're making me feel bad...
"Uhm, hello..."
"I am Emilia..."
This is a very awkward first conversation.
Screw it, if I am forced into this I won't hold back!
"I am Natsuo, nice to meet ya!"
I threw my hand in front of me to show that I wanted to shake hands, she looked up with a surprised look and a small "what" came out under her breath.
"You're very pretty!"
Wait, why did I say that?
Will she think I am weird?
Well as long as I don't have to go over feelings again I should be fine, right?
"Uh, erm, t-thank you..."
She looked down and twisted her foot back and forth as if she was nervous, I definitely shouldn't have said that.
"Don't be shy, let's be friends."
She looked at me and stopped twiddling her feet, she seemed to be surprised by what I just said, and a slight smile came onto her face.
She is a very cute little girl, although me being around twenty-one mentally, I would be considered a pedo.
Although that isn't something to worry about because I am three in this body and I do not feel any sexual appeal towards this girl.
She will definitely become a drop-dead gorgeous adult in the future, that's a fact, Emilia then spoke up.
"You really want to be friends?"
"Yea, I don't have any so you would be my first."
"R-really?"
Sparkles appeared in her eyes, she had a joyous smile and seemed as if she just got her first car.
"Yep, so let's be good friends!"
She seemed to even get more excited after I said that, I am doing one hell of a job, aren't I?
She walked up and shook my hand.
finally, I could let it down...
"Well that's great, they became friends."
Both of our dads walk into the room with smiles.
"Well, Emilia, it is time to go home. We just stopped by to get something from Natsuo's Father."
"W-wha?"
She had a pouty look on her face, her Father walked her out of the room and Akio followed.
"Well that was fun, I guess?"
I sit down on my bed and look around, I think I want to nap.
"Hey Natsuo, how was your visit?"
"Oh, Mama."
I looked at my door and Yua entered the room.
"It was good, I made a friend!"
"Really now? That's wonderful Natsuo."
"Can we learn how to read now?"
She covers her mouth and giggles.
"It's not something you can easily learn, luckily both of your parents know how to read. Not everyone knows how because it takes time and you need a reliable source. We can start lessons tomorrow."
After she said that the day felt like it flew by, it was already the night before I knew it so I got into bed and snoozed away.
When I awoke I hurried to get downstairs and learn how to read. When I got there I saw Emilia and Mother at the table.
It was definitely a surprise, that's for sure.
"Ah, Goodmorning Natsuo. Emilia is gonna join us."
Will she slow me down?
Or will everything be as it would?
No, everything should be fine as is, so I will just join them and learn with them.
"Hello, Natsuo!"
She seemed rather excited to see me, did she really get over her shyness that quickly?
"Hello, Emilia!"
I hurry over and sit next to Emilia, she smiles and we start our lesson. I was excited to learn with a friend.
-Two Years Later-
After that the days we learned went by rather quickly and before I knew it we were five. me and Emilia's bond grew stronger and I learned a few new things.
First of all my last name is Gushiken, Second of all the writing is fairly simple to learn so I got a hold of it quickly, then lastly Emilia's last name is Aimi.
Today is the day I will see if I can use magic, I can't wait to be the almighty lord!
"Hello, Natsuo!"
"Oh, Hey, Emilia."
I get up from my bed and look at her with a confused look.
"Why are you in my room?"
"Oh, um, because I wanted to wake you up."
"Huh, cool, well I am gonna do something today other than learning, can you tell my Mama that?"
"Oh, why?"
She had a gloomy look on her face as if she was rejected, is that what I looked like?
"Because I want to try something if you want you can come with me!"
"Oh, really?"
Her eyes lit up from her gloomy state, there, I made her happy!
"Well, are you ready?"
I walked over to her and grabbed her hand, she grasped onto my hand and we walked out of my room.
"I am excited for whatever we are going to do!"
"That's good, I hope you have fun."
I smile and grab the book I need from the study room, after I walk to Mama, and ask her if I can go out and she looks worried.
"This is your first time, are you sure you can handle yourself?"
"Yes, Mama."
"Ok then, have fun."
I walk out the front door, the bright sun shines onto my face and I hear birds chirping, I haven't been outside much so it's still a new experience.
"So what are you going to do, Natsuo?"
I point towards a tree in the distance.
"Let's go there!"
"Ok!"
We walked over to the tree, it took a few minutes since it was kinda far away but we got there and sat down.
"We shall claim this as our land!"
Emilia looks at me and smiles.
"What do you think, Emi?"
"E-Emi?"
"Yea, it's a nickname!"
"I like it, can I give you one?"
"Sure!"
She sat and thought for a moment, her face lightened up and she looked at me.
"I don't have a clue!"
We both start laughing, we hear some footsteps behind us and we both look over.
"What are little kids doing in our base?"
Older kids, to any small child this is the biggest fear you could have.
They look around eight, there are three of them, and the bigger one who just spoke looks to be the leader.
Emilia spoke up,
"We were just standing around, l-let's go Natsuo."
"You aren't going anywhere, we shall punish you for trespassing!"
The other kids snicker, the leader grabs a rock and goes to throw it at Emi.
"Watch out!"
I jump in front of the rock and it strikes my forehead, pain spikes across my head.
"Stupid little kid, you got in the way!"
"I won't let you hurt Emi!"
I am glad these kids are weak and can't throw a rock that hard, it still hurts but it didn't knock me out.
"Let's just beat up this kid and let the girl go."
"Got it, boss!"
Of course, he makes them call him boss.
The two older kids walk up to me and one punches me across the face, I fall onto the floor and the other kid kicked and stomped on me a few times.
Are they trying to kill me? At such a young age, they sure are evil.
I get up quickly and grab Emi's hand and with my other hand, I grab the book.
I start to run away and hear the older kids laughing such brats...
"I'm sorry..."
"Why are you sorry?"
We stopped not too far away next to a creek, Emilia felt sorry but I didn't know why.
The forest isn't too far from here but I don't feel like going into something like that.
"You got hurt and I didn't do anything..."
"It's fine, it's just some scratches!"
I looked at her and smiled, I could tell blood was flowing out my nose and that I had a bruised eye.
"How are you so brave...?"
"I am not brave, I just understand when to be cool and when to freak out."
She starts to cry and grabs onto me, chill out Emi, you might get snot on me...
"I am sorry I am so weak and couldn't help, I can do better next time!"
I wrap my arms around her and hug her, she digs her snotty face into my shirt, she grasps onto me, this feeling tells me that she really does trust me.
maybe, just maybe, I can actually have a good go around with girls this time.
Well, it's not like I liked anyone else other than Julie but still, this is my chance!
I got a fresh start, I better use it to my best potential. I feel her hands loosen, I look at her face, she fell asleep it seems.
I start to get tired just by looking at her, soon I fall asleep also.
"Natsuo?"
I opened my eyes, it seemed to be later in the day now.
The sky seems to be getting orange signaling it is the afternoon. I looked down and saw Emi looking at me with a relieved look.
"Why do you look like something good happened?"
"I thought you were dead for a second then you opened your eyes."
"Oh, I see, well I guess that could've been a problem..."
"Why are you so serious about it?"
"I don't know..."
She laughed and then I told her to get up so we could do what I wanted to do originally.
"So why do you have that book?"
"To see if I can use magic, you wanna try too?"
"Yes please!"
She looks at me with a joyous look
"Ok then, let's give it a shot!"
"Yea!"
I pull out the book and find a way to try and cast a spell.
"I will try and chant this!"
"Yea!"
I chant the line to use a beginner earth magic spell, I put my hand in front of me.
This is the moment, I can feel it!
"When does it happen?"
I finished the chant and then Emi instantly asked that question, it was a good one, why is there nothing coming out?
"Let me try!"
"Sure but I think the same thing will happen."
Maybe it was a lie, so neither of us could do it...
"Ok, can I have it?"
I give her the book and she chants the line. A rock forms at her hand and fires toward the dirt.
What?
Wasn't it supposed to do that for me?
No, I just chanted it wrong, right?
"Here let me try again."
"Ok."
She had a smug look on her face as if she knew that she was cooler than me, I thought I was supposed to have a special ability...
"Watch this!"
I re-chant and nothing happens.
"Why...?"
"It's ok, you can't be good at everything Natsuo!"
"Yea, I guess you're right..."
If she wasn't a kid I would smack her for saying something so rude, well maybe a light tap since she is a girl...
Damn, I really looked forward to being powerful. Well, I can still become strong!
"Well, since I can't use magic I will become super strong!"
"Yea!"
We high five then I suggest we should walk back home, Emi nods and we quickly hurried back.
Mom looked at me with a worried expression, she saw my bruised face after she was done examining, she demanded an explanation.
Now snitches get stitches but they tried hurting Emi.
"Some mean older kids tried hurting us, no biggie, I will beat them up later!"
"That's no way to think, what are their names?"
"I can't remember."
Not that I didn't want to spill the beans, it's just that I truly didn't remember their names.
Did they even say their names in the first place...?
"Well it's fine Mama, Emi is ok because I protected her!"
Mama looks at me then Emi and snickers like she just learned something.
"Well you are a good boy, wash up so we can heal you."
"Ok, Mama!"
"I am going home now Natsuo!"
"Oh, Ok! See you tomorrow!"
She runs out the door and I see her go towards her house, she will be a very pretty adult.
I am excited to see her then. I run upstairs and get clothes for my bath, I go to the wooden tub and quickly clean up.
After I finished, Mother called me down for dinner so I hurried downstairs, Father and Mother already eating so I ran to my seat and sat down, Mama had a joyous look on her face as if she had good news.
"It looks like you have something to say, Mama."
"Well, today I had signs of pregnancy, I think you might be having a little brother or sister, Natsuo!"
"Cool!"
That's exciting, I can't wait to show them how cool of a big brother I can be.
"Really?!"
Father finally came into realization of what mother just said. Can he really be that dumb to take that long to realize?
I quickly finish dinner and go upstairs for bed. I am not as tired since I napped for a few hours but I somehow managed to fall asleep pretty quickly.
I am excited for this new sibling, I wonder how they will be...
I saw blackness in my dream, I looked around and saw a brown-haired girl, she looked sad.
I walk over to her and put my hand on her shoulder, I get a closer glance and notice who it is.
"Julie?"
"Max...?"
She looked at me and smiled.
Am I not in my kid's body, I am taller than her and my body is bigger, so it's clear that I am in my old body?
I waved slightly and spoke,
"Hey, long time no see..."
"This is a dream, you're not real, go away!"
She yelled at me, she started crying, her tears sparkled in the darkness around. Can I not do anything?
"You tell me, I just went to bed and you're here!"
"What...?"
"Well, it's a long story, but anyway it's the one and only Max!"
"You are real?"
"Yea, how long has it been?"
"Five years."
"That's what I thought, anyway, how have you been?"
"Why are you being friendly, I killed you right?!"
"What are you saying, I killed myself to save you."
"Why, why would you do that after I hurt you?"
"Well because just because you rejected me didn't mean I hated you. I still love you, I just can't have you..."
"I love you too! I got nervous when you confessed and accidentally rejected you, after that, I was going to your house to say how I truly felt! But you saved me and died in the process..."
Damn, you just had to say that...
I feel drips roll down my face, I notice I am crying.
There goes strong-looking Max...
"Well, it's too late to say that now..."
"I know, I haven't fallen for anyone else since, I don't want to live without you!"
"Nonsense! Forget me, I am happy and it wasn't your fault I died, I miss you obviously but I need you to not miss me anymore. It's holding you down."
"Come back, Max!"
"I can't, I am sorry."
I wake up suddenly and see Emi above me.
"What are you doing...?"
"Came to wake you up!"
"Oh, right we have a class with my Mama today, right?"
"Yes, hurry up."
"Yea yea, don't push me."
I get up and she skips out the room, she seems happy.
I got into my day clothes and walked downstairs, Mama was already there to teach.
Papa walked inside the house.
"Sorry but starting today me and Natsuo are going to train with swords."
"What?"
All three of us let out a short and confused "What?"
"What, I think Natsuo needs training, he was bullied yesterday, right?"
"Well, I guess you are right. That's fine with me I guess."
"But, I want Natsuo here..."
I looked at Emi, she had a very pouty look and seemed as if she couldn't bear to learn without me.
"It's fine Emilia, I will be back tomorrow."
"Well, about that, you would only go to class once a week, I need you ready to go to Reinhart Academy!"
"What's that?"
"A school for adventurers to go, you obviously have to be smart too, but fighting and magic are the big things there, you will need to learn it sooner than later!"
"Well I don't know about once a week, how about two to three times a week?"
"Well, I guess that works. But then he better practice and study hard!"
And that's how we started training daily, I picked up the sword skill pretty quickly, the first day went by quickly, Father taught me facts about swordsmanship.
It's nothing different from what I knew from the old world.
So that's a plus, I played a few games that involved swords like Aeldz and Light Souls, even a bit of Groundrim was played here and there.
So I know what kinda swords there are, well half the ones there are made up but still.
After that the second day went by slower, we actually practiced fighting. We are starting with blocking and countering, he seems to be the speedy type so he takes lightweight weapons.
For the next week, it was the same. Mother's lessons were basically just math and reading.
"Keep up, bud!"
Father swung down at me and I managed to block, he went fast enough for me to barely have time to react.
"Great job, be careful though, in real combat, people don't always play fair!"
His voice grew stronger as he swiped me onto my back with his foot and put his wooden sword to my neck.
"Are you ok Natsuo?"
Emilia ran over to me and helped me up.
"He's a man, he is fine! Look he isn't even crying!"
Well, right now I feel like proving a point, sorry Father...
"Owie... that really hurt!"
I began fake crying, I have been able to make myself cry recently so it worked out in my favor.
"What happened?!"
Mother ran outside of the house and came over to me, she then pulled me to her and hugged me.
"I just tripped him that's all!"
Father became nervous, there is no going back now! I shall take this to the end!
"Akio tripped Natsuo hard! And then put the sword to his neck!"
"Is this true, sweetie?"
Emilia seemed to just spit out the truth, good now the plan will succeed!
Mother looked over to Father, she seemed mad and he seemed nervous.
"It wasn't hard I swear!"
"Well, he is crying so you must be wrong! Natsuo, Emilia, come on, we are going inside."
"Ok, Mama!"
"Ok, Yua!"
I waddle inside still acting like I am in pain, I look back at Father and he gives me a serious glare.
He seemed mad, should I be scared...?
"Is Papa mad...?"
I tugged on Yua's shirt and she looked at me.
I have gotten used to acting like a kid. It is quite pleasant being treated so well, not as much fending for myself.
"Maybe, don't mind it too much though."
"Ok, well can me and Emi go play?"
"Sure, go around back, I am sure Father would get mad if he saw you running off to go play."
I smiled, learning has grown to become slightly boring so I like escaping it as much as I can.
We ran around the house and went to the back, see I don't play with toys when I ask to "play" I usually just use it as an excuse to skip.
See I love learning in this new world although it's a pain sometimes, who knew a new world would be so annoying...
Part Two
The months went by rather quickly, I ended up hitting the age of eight in no time.
After a few months of learning I went and beat up the bullies, they were very inexperienced...
Afterward, Emilia praised me for being so cool and we made a fort at the big tree.
Currently, though I am sitting by the tree reading a magic book while Emilia practices magic, Papa, Mama, and Emilia's parents were very surprised about her magic power.
We have been practicing by ourselves for the past few years, I still can't use magic no matter how hard I try, the sword is easy enough though so that's what my main skill is.
I have a little sister and her name is November, she is around three.
November is the cutest being I ever saw although she really doesn't have anything exotic about her yet since she is three.
She does follow me and Emi around a bunch which usually ends up in her getting hurt since we go and practice.
"Hey, Natsuo!"
"Huh?"
"[Water Ball]!"
I look over at Emilia and she sends a water ball at my face, it splashes me and I end up soaked.
"Oh, you're gonna get it now!"
I smiled and put the book down, she was giggling before but that quickly stopped and she started running, she wasn't scared but she knew I was probably going to do something.
"Get over here!"
I jumped onto her and we fell into the grass.
We lay down next to each other and looked into the sky, there weren't any clouds and it was a beautiful blue sky.
"Hey Natsuo, are you actually going to leave me behind?"
"Well if my Papa insists I think I have to, I am sorry..."
She looked at me and smiled.
"It's fine as long as you come back!"
"Then I will! I promise!"
I enjoyed the little moments with Emilia, they make me feel like living in this world is great.
I do miss a few things back in the old world, sometimes I wish I could go back but I doubt that would ever happen.
"What are you going to do when I'm gone?"
I returned her look as I asked her that question.
"Hmm, that's in a while I don't feel like thinking on it."
She really didn't like the topic which I completely understood, I mean who would want such a handsome beast as myself to leave?
"I think we should head back, ok?"
Emilia agreed with me and we get up, I grab her hand and we walk back to my house.
Once we arrived we both stood shocked, the worst possible thing stood in front of us.
Emilia was trembling and something slipped out of her mouth.
"N-Natsuo..."
I felt scared, wasn't this new world supposed to be awesome...?
"W-Why...?"
I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
The smell of smoke clogged in my nose, my home, the place I felt safest at, it's burning in front of me...
I hear some moving and rustling coming around the corner of the fence, I was right outside the gate so I couldn't see the whole yard.
"Where are the damn magic crystals?!"
And then from that direction I hear a masculine shout coming from there, I grabbed Emilia's shoulder and whispered something to her.
"Go to your home and tell your Father, quickly!"
"Y-Yea, Ok!"
She rushed off, I ran around the corner and see two men kicking Papa on the floor.
"Natsuo! Runaway! Now!"
"Huh?"
One of the men turned around and stared at me, he laughed and walked towards me.
"Let's take the boy and the wife since this bastard sold our crystals."
"No, please! Let Natsuo go!"
I froze up and realized I was being grabbed.
I try to squirm but end up being knocked unconscious.
The last words I heard are words I can't forget...
"Kill Akio and let's go."
These men who were wearing black, smooth masks with black robes and blue pants, are taking me away from home.
Will I be able to see Emi again? I heard a scream come from my Father and it went silent after a few seconds, after that, I fully passed out.
Part Three
When I awaken I see that I was in a dungeon locked up to a chain, it's quite dark and pretty quiet, one torch lights up the room from outside the cell I was being held in.
I look around and see a girl locked up in chains, like me.
She wasn't Mama though, her hair was black and she was very small and skinny, she had gorgeous different colored eyes.
One was baby blue and the other was brown, she also seemed as young as me.
Wait, could I be in a slave dungeon? No, that's nonsense. Right?
"Psst..."
I whispered towards the girl and she looked up, she didn't talk but in her eyes, I saw pain, she seemed as if she didn't want to live anymore.
"Where are we...?"
She didn't respond, she only stared. Stop this, it saddens me!
"Are you ok...?"
She gave off a surprised expression as if she seemed something weird happened.
"No, I am not ok..."
"Finally an answer. where are we...?"
We whispered back and forth so we didn't attract anyone.
"I don't know, I have been trapped here for a while..."
She became expressionless again, then I remembered something.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"Shea..."
"Well Shea, I am Natsuo, I know how to get out..."
Her face lightened up and her mouth opened, this seemed to make her happy.
"H-How?"
"I remember a magic spell, it's called dissolve. It can only dissolve certain things but it seems that the chains are one of the things."
"Really?"
"Yes. now say exactly what I say."
I try to remember the chant, I say exactly what words are needed and she breaks free. She smiled joyfully and ran over to me.
"Ok, now you get out."
"I can't, will you do it for me?"
She seemed confused and tilted her head.
"I can't use magic."
"Why."
I explain all that I know while she let me out.
"Last thing, can you open the door?"
She nodded and after opening the bars for us she seemed to get tired.
I grab her hand and look at her.
"We need to get out of here, you may seem tired but there is no time to fall asleep now...!"
She nodded and rubbed her eyes, I pulled her and started running down the corridor.
I see tons of children, looked like in this world were things like Beastmen and Elves. Sad to find out this way though...
"Hey!"
I noticed a man come out of one of the forks in the path, he was wearing a black mask.
I tighten my grip with Shea's hand and run as fast as I can.
"Come on this way!"
The man calls for help and I continued sprinting while holding Shea's hand.
I looked back at Shea and she had tears in her eyes, happy tears. She was in here for a while, wasn't she...
"Thank you."
She smiled and I smiled back, we quickly found the exit.
The dungeon was deep in the woods so it was easy to lose the chasing men.
Life is intense in this world.
"Why'd you save me?"
"Well you saved me, without your help I would've been dead meat!"
"R-Really?"
She blushed and twiddled her feet, did I say something weird?
"Well anyway, I am glad to make acquaintances with you but I need to start heading ho-"
I stop in my words, I forgot. I don't have a home anymore.
I hope Emilia is ok, no she is definitely fine.
But Mother, on the other hand, I need to find her. I didn't see any adults in that dungeon so I doubt she is in there.
"What were you going to say, Natsuo?"
"I was going to say I wanted to go home, but I don't exactly have a home to go to. I need to find my mother, she was taken alongside me."
"The adult slaves are usually put closer to the shops because they need to be sold quicker, so she is probably in town!"
"You're smart and cute."
She gets red and looks down. Looks like using lame lines like what I saw in anime works here. Not like I'm interested in her but still, why not?
"Well, which way is town?"
She looks around and then shrugs.
"Huh? Well, do you know where it could be?"
She nods and looks down in embarrassment, not like she is in the wrong here, I mean we are deep in the woods.
"Hey, N-Natsuo...?"
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Well, my siblings and parents are, well, not in this world anymore. So I will be all alone once you go, will you take me with you?"
I looked at her then came to the realization that my little sister November was probably in the house.
I fall onto my knees and come to tears.
"I-Is that a n-no?"
"N-No, I, I realized, that my, I can't."
I can't think of anything, I lost my little sister. I didn't save her...
No, it isn't my fault, those bastards killed her, and I had nothing to do with it...
"What's wrong Natsuo...?"
She walks up closer to me and I grab her arm and pull her so she falls onto me, I wrap my arms around her and hug her.
"W-What are you doing Natsuo...?"
Feeling the warmth of a person makes me happy...
"I lost my sister, she wasn't all that old but she was the only one I had. I know you lost your whole family and that I am being selfish but I can't bear with the fact I could've done something to help..."
"You're not selfish, I already had my time to be sad."
She wraps her arms around me and hugs me back, this cheered me up pretty well.
She seemed to be nice, thank you Shea for making things a tad bit better.
"Yea, you're right, I also probably should stop crying, I need to save who I can now!"
She smiles and I get up, I offer my hand and she grabs it. From this moment on I will no longer hold myself down in dread! I hope...
