- "Ah... what happened..." (Takeshi)
- "Hello Takeshi, you finally woke up"
- "hmm... hello" (Takeshi)
Takeshi looks up and sees Haruki giving a gentle smile
- "Ah! Sorry" (Takeshi)
takehi gets up quickly
- "What happened? Why was I in your lap?" (takeshi)
Takeshi looked around and realized he was still in the guild
- "Uh, don't you remember?" (Haruki)
Takeshi showed a confused face
- "no, I just remember winning our duel" (Takeshi)
- "there was a commemoration of a guild that defeated a dragon in the nearest town, and that was right after our duel. You took a sip of beer and passed out" (Haruki)
Takeshi remembered what had happened
- "haaah! Too bad" (Takeshi)
- "but...thanks for taking care of me while I was drunk" (Takeshi)
- "no problem ... I wanted to be close to you" (Haruki)
- "what did you say?" (takeshi)
Takeshi only heard Haruki say "no problem", but he believed the alcohol was still working.
- "nothing, nothing, forget it" (Haruki)
Haruki blushed and looked away
- "Takeshi"
Someone caught his eye. It was the attendant, Takeshi wondered what she wanted now, he had already gone through the challenge of dueling Haruki, but he was a little prepared if he had anything else to do before becoming a guild member
- "here is your guild card, congratulations on becoming a member"
Takeshi wouldn't have to fight
- "yay..." (Takeshi)
Takeshi was happy but couldn't show it right because of the drink he had taken earlier, so he just showed a face like he was nauseous with a raised fist
- "Congratulations Takeshi" (Haruki)
Haruki jumped for joy for Takeshi
- "thank you" (Takeshi)
Takeshi looks at the guild card, it was exactly the same as the information the -status- showed him
Takeshi started to get dizzy all of a sudden
- "I better go home, I'm feeling dizzy" (Takeshi)
- "let me help you get there" (Haruki)
- "no need, I'll use -shadow run- to get faster" (Takeshi)
- "of course not!, you spent a lot of mana in our duel" (Haruki)
Takeshi looks at the guild card and sees that his mana was 150/550, he remembers spending a lot of mana but not that much.
- "if you spend more mana than you can get sick, it must also have influenced the beer you drank" (Haruki)
Takeshi remembers the first time he had a beer, but he only got drunk because he was too weak from alcohol. The reason Takeshi drank the beer was because he didn't want to spoil a guild celebration and be the "spoiled parties"
- "Okay, okay, Haruki, can you take me to my house?" (takeshi)
Haruki looks to the side and starts to blush
- "Finally I'll be alone with you for some time" (Haruki)
Takeshi wasn't paying attention to what Haruki said
- "well, shall we?" (Haruki)
Haruki reaches out to Takeshi
- "yes" (Takeshi)
Takeshi takes Haruki's hand
The two left the guild and walked through the city streets at night. The place looked really beautiful at this time of night. Takeshi noticed that there were several people holding a type of crystal that glowed in many different ways.
Takeshi was curious about the crystal
- "Hey, why are people holding these crystals?" (takeshi)
- "this? It's just a gesture to symbolize people who have already died" (Haruki)
- "I understand" (Takeshi)
- "Wait a minute" (Haruki)
Haruki let go of Takeshi's hand and went to a store that had one of these crystals.
Haruki came back with one of those shiny crystals.
- "Here, remember that the name of this stone is 'Memory Crystal'" (Haruki)
- "right" (Takeshi)
Takeshi took the 'crystal memory' but he didn't know what to do after that
- "Now, hold the crystal close to your chest" (Haruki)
Takeshi did exactly what Haruki said
The closer Takeshi brought the crystal to his chest, the brighter the crystal became
- "and this is how you use the 'memory fragment'" (Haruki)
- "how beautiful..." (Takeshi)
As Takeshi admired the crystal, he began to shed tears from his eyes.
- "Eh!? Are you crying!?" (takeshi)
Takeshi missed his home, his friends, his mother. But he missed his father the most, whom he had died when he was younger.
Haruki was desperate because she didn't know what to make of Takeshi's crying
- "sorry, I just..." (Takeshi)
Haruki puts his hand on Takeshi's head
- "no problem, that's what the 'memory fragment' server is for" (Haruki)
- "thank you, Haruki" (Takeshi)
takehi closed his eyes
While Takeshi had his eyes closed, the -shard of memory- began to slowly lose its glow and disappear.
After a while, the stone disappeared
- "Ah, disappeared" (Takeshi)
- "The stone always disappears, that's why the stone always sucks all your sadness" (Haruki)
- "I understand" (Takeshi)
Takeshi wiped his tears
- "well, let's go?" (takeshi)
Takeshi reaches out to Haruki
Haruki looked shy
- "of-sure" (Haruki)
Haruki took Takeshi's hand
- "Oh what a beautiful couple"
A lady passing by saw the two of them holding hands
Takeshi and Haruki blushed
The two continued walking to Takeshi's house, they didn't say anything the whole way while they were holding hands.
The two finally arrived at the inn
- "well, it's here, thanks for bringing me Haruki" (Takeshi)
- "no problems Takeshi, see you" (Haruki)
Takeshi entered the inn and went to his room to sleep
- "I would like to know what mission I will do tomorrow with the group" (Takeshi)
In bed, Takeshi was wondering who the other members of Nakamura were.
takehi slept
Takeshi slowly opens his eyes and sees a ceiling above him
- "the roof?" (takeshi)
takehi looked forward
- "I'm in bed?" (takeshi)
Takeshi still in bed, looks around and realizes he was in a room
- "where's the hiimelia?" (takeshi)
Takeshi gets out of bed and sees Hiimelia sleeping at the table in the room. he gets up and goes to her
- "better not to wake her" (Takeshi)
Takeshi comes very close and sits next to her
- "so cute, ioshi ioshi" (Takeshi)
Takeshi starts stroking Hiimelia's head
Hiimelia starts to smile in her sleep, but soon starts to wake up.
- "hmm... Takeshi" (Hiimelia)
- "Hello Hiimelia" (Takeshi)
Takeshi was so close that Hiimelia pulled away from him while blushing
- "w-w-why were you by my side!?" (Hymelia)
- "I was keeping company" (Takeshi)
- "n-no need ... be so close to me" (Hiimelia)
Hiimelia lowered her voice and looked away
- "what did you say?" (takeshi)
- "nothing" (Hyimelia)
- "changing the subject, how did you make this room?" (takehi)
- "I got bored so I decided to recreate the things you dreamed of in life" (Hiimelia)
Takeshi was not surprised for some reason.
- "I understand, but I don't remember having dreamed of this room" (Takeshi)
- "I changed some things, but in general this room is yours" (Hiimelia)
Takeshi looks around the room and realizes that it really looks like his room, but from a few years ago
- "when I look right, it really looks like my room" (Takeshi)
takehi felt at home
- "there are also these... Books here" (Hiimelia)
Hiimelia pulls out an erotic comic book that was in the drawer
Takeshi blushes at the erotic comic book
- "besides having these images... sensual... I respect your tastes" (Hiimelia)
- "Could you keep...this book hidden?" (takeshi)
- "okay..." (Hiimelia)
The two were silent for a while
- "Oh it's true, I found these story games that I liked a lot" (Hiimelia)
Hiimelia picks up a collection of manga games that Takeshi had in his room
- "I can't say but I think it's 'kimon' I hope one day to read with you" (Hiimelia)
Takeshi understood what she meant, but heard Hiimelia say 'kamon' instead of 'kimon'. it was very cute
When Takeshi wanted to know what he would do when he woke up, he remembered that he had to break Hiimelia's curse by killing some monsters
- "I'm curious about something" (Takeshi)
- "you can ask" (Hiimelia)
- "how exactly do I break your curse?" (takeshi)
- "I told you before, you need blood to break the curse" (Hiimelia)
- "but... I didn't need something to help break the curse, like a contract?" (takehi)
Hiimelia is silent, but after hitting her head as if she has forgotten about it
- "I forgot" (Hiimelia)
- "so you really forgot about that" (Takeshi)
Takeshi put a hand to his forehead with an expression of disappointment
- "I learned to break curses, but I never tried to break any" (Hiimelia)
- "Ok so let's do it again" (Takeshi)
- "understood, come here only I can make the contract" (Hiimelia)
- "okay" (Takeshi)
Takeshi approaches Hiimelia
- "well, let's get started" (Hiimelia)
Hiimelia holding Takeshi's hand
- "Hey, what are you...?" (takeshi)
- "Shh, don't say anything. The contract can go wrong" (Hiimelia)
Takeshi is silent as he blushes
Hiimelia entwines her fingers with Takeshi and starts whispering words he can't hear
- "ready, the contract is done" (Hiimelia)
- "Oh, hm right..." (Takeshi)
Hiimelia hasn't run yet, but Takeshi was still blushing.
- "why are you red?" (Hymelia)
- "It's good that..." (Takeshi)
Takeshi didn't say anything else, but Hiimelia noticed with the silence
- "Oh, sorry! I didn't understand" (Hiimelia)
Hiimelia looked away and blushed, leaving the room in silence.
But that silence ended after Takeshi started to disappear
- "it's time, I need to go" (Takeshi)
- "I'm counting on you to get me out of here" (Hiimelia)
hiimelia gave a smile
- "I'll do my best" (Takeshi)
takehi woke up
- "Today is the day I will meet Nakamura's group... I will strive to be of good help" (Takeshi)
