Chapter 5 - Chapter 1, Part 3: On The Side of Things, Change

"Finally.. I'm done with a few things at work.."

\\\

....

'Now that I remember, today was the start of Q's final test. I hope he's doing okay...

...

Though actually, this past week, I only saw him playing games all the time. I never see him bugging his school work at all. Is he distracting himself away from something.

...

Ohh? That one, huh?'

....

....

....

[(Flashback)

\\\

"Mama! I have something to tell..."

\\\

"What? Is this about the test fee?"

\\\

"Hmm~no... I think it's something more amazing..."

\\\

"How amazing?"

\\\

"I think I saw ghost.. It was a kid."

\\\

"Ghost!? Hmmm... That's amazing, huh? Then? What happened?"

\\\

"I wasn't scared at all.. Seriously!"

\\\

"Seriously!? Then? What next?"

\\\

"Hmmm.. Like how should I put this..? Like..He came to me, like..? Like..? Oh? We were talking about something with my friends.. And then he appeared and then I thought he was just an another classmate joining in! And then~! And then~!"

\\\

"Pfft!~"

\\\

"Hmmm??"

\\\

"And then? And then? Come on, continue~"

\\\

"And then.. I was just cool with it.. I was so calm, like I don't understand what just happened.. Oh? He has white clothes and a Key on his hand!"

\\\

"Hmmm..."

\\\

"And he was glowing or shining something like that, that I saw.."

\\\

"Ahh! I forgot to buy onions! Qreiyl? can you go buy me some onions? Right now, I need it for this tonight's dinner. Please?"

\\\

"Uh-..hmm! Okay.."

\\\

'That Father of mine.. is he starting to make a move now? I don't like where this is going...'

........]

....

....

*SIGH*

....

'Anyway, I should leave early from work today. There's still a lot of things I have to do at home. Were moving to our new address after all.'

....

....

Arriving at home. I found a strangely unique dagger pinning a piece of cloth at the door.

....

\\\

"What is this? Is this a kind of a prank? "

\\\

....

As I pull out that dagger...

....

Suddenly, I was struck of something like a surge of an electricity and it drained me of my power, and that dagger disappears. Right then I understood..

....

'If Qreiyl was the one getting that dagger, I assume he would also be dragged away along with it.'

....

Truthfully, along that slip of a moment, when that surge struck me, that dagger, it dragged me away to a timeless plane, trying to pull me, carrying me to a different location.

....

As if to say that dagger was a hook that was cast. Too bad, I was the one that was caught. Because in this timeless plane, I know how things work here, since this is my playground.

....

Immediately, I stop the dagger and rewrite it's time sequence, then I return it back to it's owner. With a renewed sequence, I sent it back flying with a speed surpassing the speed of sound. After I sent the dagger, I return back to where I am, in front of my house.

....

\\\

"Well then~! Now what should I do~?... Hm? Ohh? It looks like~ someone's been here.."

\\\

....

There's a signs of a change on the appearance of the doormat. This doormat was specially made, it reacts to whoever uses a key to open the door.

....

There's a linear patterns on the doormat on which it triggers upon locking the door, and each time a key is use, a certain line disappears and it resets, day after day. We have each different keys and the linear reacts accordingly to which keys.

....

This time, a stranger opened the door...

....

\\\

"Hmm... It's seems like it's lock..."

\\\

....

As my hunch was trying to get to me. I started walking away as far as I can from my house, and left going..

....

'I must get to Qreiyl, I'm sure they must be after him..'

....

Then it's only about time. An explosion happened. Only a minor one, enough to burn the house.

....

As I turn around and look. I wondered...

....

'Well, my~ It looks like this is the end of our normal life, huh? I actually enjoyed it. Sadly, I never got make most of it..

...

*WEEPS*

...

I just came to realize the best things... immediately.. after I found what's worst..'

....

I reached out to my pocket and make a call...

....

\\\

"Hon? *WEEPING*".

\\\

"Yes..U-Uhh? What's wrong?"

\\\

"They're looking for Q~! We need to do something~!"

\\\

"... Okay.. Alright.. Right now, where are you?"

\\\

....

*PROCEEDS TO TURN AND MOVE ON*

....

\\\

"I'm on my way to the school now. The house.. I came by, but, they laid a trap in there so I never got to come in.."

\\\

"Uhh.. So? We will meet at the school?"

\\\

"Uhh-hmm.. It seems like it.. Uhh? Where are you?"

\\\

"Still at work.

...

Please, stay safe for me.. I'll come right you.."

\\\

....

*DIAL CLOSED*

....

.....

....

[Father's side]

....

After the call...

....

\\\

"Well then..."

\\\

....

*ROSE UP FROM THE CHAIR*

....

\\\

"So? What's the deal with all of you, Newcomers?

...

*WALKS AROUND*

...

You know? We had a rule- speaking of the former, of course...

That- If we ever make a gathering like today? Make sure it's you again on the next day(meeting)..

And if they sent a substitute, atleast, on the firsthand, let me know..

And if they tell others about this, as for what you probably know this is already counted as a big secret..

At the night- When the secret was busted... Ahh~ "I can't sleep~! I can't sleep~! Why is it~? That I can't sleep~?".. Yeah~ I wonder why~?

*RELEASED A SIGH*

Well- I'll tell you..

When someone's around carrying their guilt? It just crawls around my skin...

And~! So..? Let's jump right to the question quickly..

Who hired you?

How much they paid you?

Is it paid, go and kill~! Or~ perhaps.. A bounty?

From which of these are you?

Oh? Actually...

The chair that you're seating in? It's actually very exclusive! It belongs only to the formers...

So~? If anybody who's not authorize would sit?

Death!

Unless- I say so...

That's why? To be precise~ Your life is in the palm of my hands!

Oh? See?? Your clothes is already showing their signs."

\\\

"T-There was an issue-! given...

One day, I receive a letter...

And they found out- all my darkest secrets! They reveal it to me...

I have a family now..

I don't know what choice to make since they got them involve...

It a choice between their life or my life, but obviously I would make the choice to die for them..

But, my daughter.. She is still a little child. She is so innocent! She expects so much about me! I don't know what to do!?"

\\\

"Hmmm...

So? What do they want?"

\\\

"Find the Guardians and kill them.. Hazeo Magraz and Flamee Magraz..."

\\\

....

'Oh? The time! This is bad... I have to go right now!'

....

\\\

"I'll be going now...

Stay here.. If you want to live.."

\\\

"Thank you for sparing us!"

....

....

....

[Mother's side]

....

....

Arriving at the school. I saw many students already going out of their classroom.

....

'Now now.. How should I look for him like this?'

....

The first thought that came to me was to make a call.

....

Soon as I reach out to my pocket. Suddenly, I heard a commotion going on among the students. And the center of all that commotion was... A gangster, they called themselves, Red.

....

They have the appearance of black and have lines of red. They wore a mask which are also black but have different markings of red.

....

As they're wandering around gathering attention. They stop immediately as soon as they heard the sound of a phone taking a snapshot.

....

\\\

"Kill!"

\\\

....

Immediately they drew all their weapons and begin to assume a strike. But...

....

\\\

"Wait!"

\\\

....

One of them was calm and able to tolerate. He carries a heavy mace.

....

As he walk to, dragging his mace, he approaches the one who took a photo of them.

....

He, then dropped the heavy mace and pulled something out of his pocket.

....

*SNAPS A PHOTO*

....

\\\

"I better not forget your face.."

\\\

....

He then proceeds to turn around after he took the photo of the guy, and then he sent it to all his team.

....

\\\

"We will find you after this..."

\\\

....

The guy dropped his phone and wet his pants as he was shook in fear.

....

\\\

"Hey all of you! Tell me where to find this kid- or rather, just bring him to me... Make it quick!"

\\\

....

As soon as everyone heard that. They all panic.

....

'Oh no! This is bad! I have to find Qreiyl quickly...'

....

Getting ahold of my phone. I was about to make my call to Qreiyl immediately, but unfortunately, a spark of a problem is about to occur and I have to pay attention.

....

\\\

"Uuhm.. Excuse me~? T-That's- one of our classmate... Do you need something from him?"

\\\

"I said bring him here-Damn it!"

\\\

....

A girl along with her group, claimed to be his classmates has just asked.

....

'This is bad! She might get herself in trouble, which she already did, but- what should I do?...

...

hmm?... It's Qreiyl!'

....

I received a dial...

....

\\\

"He's not here.. He already go home..."

\\\

"..??... Where is this home?"

\\\

"Y-You have to take- !!?"

\\\

....

As it happened, it was like a blow of wind that they passed out, suddenly. They, the gangsters, all fell asleep.

....

\\\

"Everyone! Quickly! Leave the school grounds and go home!"

\\\

....

They all immediately ran and come out barging through the gate.

....

\\\

"The photo! They're going to kill me! T-They!"

\\\

"Don't worry! They will not remember you. Look!"

\\\

....

As he caress his face. The guy quickly aged, from a junior high student to a bearded young man.

....

\\\

"T-This is..?"

\\\

"Don't worry! It is just a trick. You will return to normal soon.. Perhaps a year maybe?"

\\\

"T-Thank you! I'm saved! I'm saved!"

\\\

....

Rejoicing, he left.

....

\\\

"You- seems okay about it~? But, seriously! Are you really that scared of them? They're all just making out in their appearance, you know~!"

\\\

"You've made it just in time, huh?"

\\\

"Really~? I'm pretty sure I'm late~!...???

...

You won't answer that?"

\\\

"Hmm? Oh!? Right! Q was calling..."

....

"Qreiyl? Are you alright!?"

\\\
