" Make way for me citizens! " I scream. However, I am ignored. Once more, I find myself endless getting sent back to where I started.
Well, that didn't turn out as I expected. How am I supposed to get to the person with this crowd in my way?
It looks like I'll be here for quite a while. Perhaps it would be best I buy a drink and return later.
As if!
I'll wait here for as long as I need to get what I want!
2 hours pass.
When are they going to disperse? Please let me ask my questions. All we've been doing here is a god damn Q&A about the legends and plans. Right, I should inform you all of what I mean.
The Morphis is they speak of is a dark cult that worships the destructive beast, Morphis. Not just any kind of cult, but the strongest. Their leader is named Dark Blade. That is a creative name—one fit for a puberty stage teenager. Sorry, I might have pressed a few buttons for those out there. Do try to understand, though.
However, I hear that this Dark Blade was formerly an S-Ranked Adventurer on the higher spectrum. It might not do me well to insult a person of his stature.
Next, Demon Lord Tanirava.
It is an entity that is on or even above the destructive beast. The demon lord was identified as a female.
The crowd didn't say much about her. Folks say that those who speak of the devil never live to tell the tale. That's all I know for now.
" Y.. "
Now then, what should I do to get Papi's attention? I could try throwing a cake at them, no? It's settled then, time to buy some cake.
I check my smartphone and search for the nearest cake shop.
Woah!
What a surprise! It is behind me. What is wrong with this city? And what is wrong with these people gathering across a cake shop.
Never mind, I make my way over and prepare my wallet-
" YOU! "
Hm? Was someone talking to me?
" You dumb wall, listen to me! "
Ack!
My collar tightens as my vision faces the sky. My, the sky looks beautiful today. Why is it that I am facing this way again?
I look left and right to check my surroundings. Nothing out of the ordinary; the same old streets seem to be there still.
Oh, it makes sense now. I seemed to have been forcefully thrown onto the ground.
It doesn't hurt.
Hra has given me much worse, in all honesty. It doesn't hurt.
I wonder how much I can last in this world.
I continue to lament silently as a hooded figure walks over and stares down at the poor me.
It's Papi.
" It's you, after so long, why are you here now? "
In contrast to his voice earlier, now it seems feminine?
" Sorry, I can't process what you're trying to say, Sir Papi. "
" Sir?! Ahh! Curse you, oaf! "
Sir Papi began to rampage as his right foot rapidly crashed into my gut. They fly at speeds so fast that even after images appear.
" Please stop! I'll do whatever you need, so please! Stop! "
A few minutes after.
I find myself sitting with Sir Papi inside the cake shop. Strange, this feels oddly familiar. Although I don't think I've ever met this esteemed descendant until now.
" Ars, please tell me you remember me; you're the only one I have left! "
" Only one left? I don't know you, though. Ah! Could you possibly mean as one of the crowd members? Indeed I am so. "
Sir Papi doesn't respond, leaving an awkward air left to roam. Did I say something wrong? Sir seems a little fishy. I noticed it earlier, but could this Sir be a Miss instead? Interesting, a voice manipulation skill!
" Very well, Ars. You brought this upon yourself. "
" Wait, what? Are you going to hit me again? No!!! "
I brace myself for incoming impact. But it doesn't come? I check to see what's going on descendant-san and end up dumbfounded.
" Sir Papi, you're a girl?!?! "
Under the hood was a charming blonde with equally gorgeous green eyes. Look, don't expect me to describe every detail. Imagine it yourself and enjoy it.
" Of course I am! "
" No way! What was with that manly voice earlier?! "
" Nevermind that! Do you still not recognize me? "
" Sir- I mean Miss Papi, I don't. "
Silence.
Deja vu?
Tears began to fall from her face, and her expression only became much worse.
I should do something quick.
Even if I don't know what I did wrong, I can't let her cry because of me.
" I'm sorry, I've been told I'm a late waker. I don't remember much about the past right now, so I sincerely apologize if I can't recognize a beauty like you. "
Cheesy, I know. But it's best if I add some comedy and cringe to make the situation a bit lighter.
" Now, let me grab a tissue for you to use- "
My collar once again tightens. Only this time, my lips are locked with hers.
Wait, what?
Wait! Is this what they call a first kiss?
NO!!!
I haven't even kissed Hravati yet! Although, this doesn't feel too bad, hehe.

Oh no! Her tongue is moving!
I was kidding.
But I somehow recall who she is now. Yes, my ever-so-forceful childhood friend, Papivrana Kreith.
