What have I done this?
My lips had touched his, reflexively I put it right. A few moments later his eyes opened and I was shocked and embarrassed. My face immediately turned red, and I immediately released my lips that were attached to his lips.
He looked at me and continued to stare at me blushing. His eyes were still slanted with his pale face showing an even expression, maybe he was still unconscious.
"You-" he wakes up half of his body then his right-hand holds mine.
"Don't leave my side in these few days." His face was so sad when he said that to me, his left hand held his left head, and then moaned a little in pain.
"Um~!" What do I want to say? Should I apologize to him for doing that to him...? Come to think of it he should be the one apologizing for the damage to my window pane.
"What is it?" he turned to me.
"Um~ could you tell yourself..." I was so awkward when talking to this person. If you look closely, it turns out to be handsome too.
"Hmm, yes." His answer was that short while nodding his head as a sign that he agreed to tell himself.
....
"But, before that, we have to fix that broken glass window first." He tried to stand up and his right hand that was holding me pointed at the balcony window.
"Eh? Forget about this! Tomorrow I will call a handyman-"
"No need, maybe with my current remaining strength it's still enough." Said the man confidently walking towards the window and then touching the window glass with his hand.
"Eh?" What does it mean?
As a ray of light emerged from the reflection of the glass, some of the edges of the broken glass began to connect with the new glass in one touch.
"Eh, the glass is back!?" My eyes widened when I saw something magical in front of me, I stupidly asked "Are you a magician?" Was he doing a stunt in front of me all this time?
"Shut up!" he shouted hoarsely, "I'm concentrating." He added while making the window pane intact again.
****
The glass is completely intact again as before, he turned around and smiled faintly at me.
I was still speechless and felt admiration for his abilities.
Finished repairing the glass with that sort of magic ability, he walked towards me but-
Suddenly he collapsed in front of me.
I reflexively caught his body and supported him.
"Sorry I troubled you for a while, and let me stay here." He whispered in my ear.
I was starting to get a little suspicious of the prophecy I got from my grandmother at the antique shop earlier, I didn't believe it at first. "Was this something someone planned for me on purpose?" I thought as I picked him up and sat him down on the chair.
"Okay, you can stay here." I was forced to accept him to live in my house because considering his condition was not fine.
"Thank you." The man looked down with a relieved smile.
Suddenly his head started hurting again "Aaaarrgh!!" he groaned.
"You are okay?" I squatted in front of him, holding his hand which was holding his head which was in pain. "Calm down, I can't do much for you." I'm telling the truth, honestly, I'm at a loss as to what I should do to help him.
Slowly he fell silent.
"Sorry I was worried about you." He said softly while holding back the pain in his body.
"A-ah, I..."
"It's midnight, you didn't sleep?"
"How can I sleep so soundly after finding this stranger in pain!?" I brag in front of his face.
"Ah, sorry." He lightly said it while scratching the back of his head.
"I have a lot of questions for you...."
My words were cut short when I heard the sound of his stomach growling.
"So, can I have a bite of food from you?"
....
"Okay, wait here."
I headed to the kitchen, I only had leftover rice and takoyaki. There are some eggs in the fridge maybe I can make a simple omurice.
Immediately I heated the rice and takoyaki in the microwave then I cooked the eggs in my Teflon pan.
A few minutes later...
"Yosh! Done." At first, I didn't intend to cook anything, because someone needed it so what could I do?
Immediately I put a plate of omurice along with a spoon and fork, a glass of mineral water, and a box of takoyaki on the tray. Then I presented him at the table in front of him.
"Sorry, that's all I can offer you."
"It doesn't worry." The man answered without protest.
....
"Itadakimasu (have a good meal)." Said the man while taking a spoon to eat his omurice.
"...!!" The spoon fell, and the man's right hand was shaking from the pain holding the wound so he dropped the spoon. "At this rate, I can't-"
"What can I do..." I mumbled as I took the spoon that fell near his plate and then sat on the sofa chair next to him. Holding the plate containing the omurice and trying to feed it.
"Open your mouth, aa... em..."
"Ah, sorry for bothering you again."
The man ate the food voraciously. He still looked pale in pain and very hungry.
....
Immediately after eating, I put the plate and tray in the kitchen. But, he stopped my steps with his left hand holding my wrist.
"Eh," I turned around wanting to dodge him.
With a face of deep sadness, the man said "Would you like to hear my story?"
"But..." I should wash these dirty dishes first.
"...."
"Okay." I sat down next to him again.
He started talking...
After I watched his face many times, he looked familiar, slowly he spoke word by word in a hoarse voice even though we were dealing with a feeling of being so nervous.
"I'm Matsuda Fuyuki, I'm neither a magician nor a bad person. However, I'm a current spiritual power user. While on my way home from work, I was followed by an unknown person wearing a black mask. He's also a spiritual power user. , then he appeared in front of me stabbed me in the stomach with a knife, and thrust his katana as I was about to pull the knife out of my stomach. Then I ran fast using lightning steps in the air. However, he caught up with me. Finally, my steps were blocked and he beat me mercilessly. Before I could bring out my abilities, he beat me and hit my vital points. It hurts so much, that he intends to kill me and throw me down onto the balcony of this house."
....
"That means, you are currently being chased by that person?" I asked scared, maybe he was looking for him all the way here.
"Yeah, he's most likely still looking for me to make sure he finds me must die." He answered seriously.
"W-then w-what if he comes here?" I was so scared to get into this kind of situation, how could I call the police when they were spiritual users? The police won't be able to catch them, I thought.
With feelings of anxious hope and filled with anxiety, I hope that this is just a dream...
"This isn't real, is it?" I was so scared, I reflexively said my heart whisper to him.
This man smiled faintly at me holding back the pain "Relax, everything will be fine. As long as I seal my power here, my whereabouts cannot be detected. Therefore please allow me to be here."
"Eh-!? Is sealing the power that practical?"
"Not really."
....
"Currently my body is very weak due to a lot of blood coming out, it looks like I have anemia. So, I can only seal half of my strength."
"Oh, I see." I don't get it, I just say yes.
"Yes, even my body feels very weak and my joints are tingling."
"Why don't you want to be taken to the hospital? You can be given first aid there-"
Before I could continue my words, he answered quickly, "No, I don't want to."
"Why?" I asked curiously.
"I'm still traumatized..."
"Trauma?"
"Yes. Because I have spiritual powers, I was made a guinea pig."
