Mizuki went home with Momoko in tow. Although she informed her parents beforehand, they were still a bit perturbed to see her.
As she was supposed to be the victim. But they didn't say anything to the both of them and only greeted her politely.
"Am I not intruding? Your parents look really uncomfortable?" Momoko was feeling guilty for suddenly springing this situation.
"No. Don't be sorry. They just don't know how to respond to what is happening. They'll come to understand it soon." Mizuki showed a smile.
It was currently 9 at night. They are preparing to sleep.
Though Momoko was offered her own room she stayed at Mizuki's room.
It was logical as they would be able to speak and they need to clear their minds before meeting Zeus again.
"So then, how about we summarize everything?" Momoko proposed the idea.
It would be better to get a good idea about what they are getting into. So she proposed the idea.
Mizuki, who is always smart, understood her plan and went along.
"We know that Akatsuki is an artificial human who was created by the government and my mother was one of the scientists who created him. He was deemed as a failure and then thrown away. His father who gave him his soul is the god Zeus. He is now about to die and be reborn in another world to clean up his mess. Is that all?"
Mizuki perfectly said those like she remembered everything.
Momoko clapped her hands and said,
"That's right. But we don't know why he is going to another world and what did he do? So we need to ask Zeus about that later."
"Yes. But still this feels pretty unreal. He is not only not my real brother but he wasn't even born naturally. Can you imagine that!That means I can totally marry him."
Mizuki was in a really good mood. Her face was lively and she was smiling. But this irritated Momoko.
"Stop talking about marriage. I am the one who's going to marry him." Momoko declared.
"What? Oh yeah. This is the subject we have been putting off due to all that. Let's talk it out." Mizuki said.
Both of them had serious faces. They were about engage in a war. A war for the right to marry Akatsuki.
The air flow was different. The situation was tense. It was like they can cut the seriousness with a knife.
But it got ruined. Due to an unexpected person.
Zeus, the one who claims to be a god, barged in. Not like breaking through the door but literally appearing out of nowhere.
They appeared right in front of them who were sitting face to face on the bed.
"Yo. I came to talk with you two." He said with a smile.
He totally ruined the mood. Both of them were surprised at first but soon were laughing.
But then they stopped. It was already late at night. So laughing loudly will disturb the others.
"How dare you barge in my room?" Mizuki asked him.
"As I said, I came to talk." He said.
"You could've talked tomorrow." Momoko said.
"No. I have to babysit him for the next few days. So I came here when I had the chance. He is sleeping for the time, so let's talk."
He makes a grim face. Like he was really troubled by Akatsuki.
"What happened to him? Where did you suddenly send him?" Mizuki asked.
"I sent him to a ruined world. A place where everything is ruined. A perfect spot to break some stuff." (Z)
"Ok. I don't really understand but why?" Momoko asked.
"He had a lot of anger. So he wanted to break some stuff. So I sent him there. But it was a lot more troublesome than normal." (Z)
"Troublesome?" (Mi)
"Yes. As I said that he is not a normal human. So he can use the human body to the fullest. But in the end, he damaged his body beyond repair. So I have to look after him." (Z)
"Damaged? But what happened?" (Mo)
"Well he lost all four of his limbs and broke about 100 bones all over the body. He also damaged his brain and became a bit unstable. I have regenerated his body and repaired his brain but his body will take some time to adjust." (Z)
They were at a loss for words. Zeus said those too easily. But for a human to go through that, they couldn't even imagine.
"Don't look like that. He did it to himself." Zeus tried to calm them down.
"Ok. We will stop worrying about him. But tell us the whole story. We need to know what we are going to do." Momoko said.
"Yes. You say he is the hero. So what are we?" Mizuki questioned him.
"Ok. I will tell you. This is your right to know." Zeus told them.
"Now. He is the hero because he is the most suited for it." (Z)
"Suited? But in what way?" Mizuki asked.
"I did say that he was created. And I gave him his soul."
"Yes. We still can't imagine it but for now let's believe it." Momoko gave an intelligent answer.
"Yes. But all the present humans have a role. No matter how minor. All have a role. But he wasn't given life by us. He was created. An existence without any role. He has no role. So the world doesn't need him. So it will eliminate him."
"Eliminate? How?"
"He will die. Just like I said. But what if he was sent to a new world. Where he was needed. Then he would have a role. And with that his existence would be meaningful. So I thought of sending him to a world which definitely needs saving." Zeus was about to finish.
"So to give him a role, you would kill him and send him to a different world?" Mizuki asked.
"Yes. But this is not the first time. Even before I have done that. But that time he died naturally. Not naturally. He died from getting hit by a train. So it wasn't natural." Zeus mentioned the previous time.
"Not the first time. What is that?"
"Well, I have rewound time. So that the world could be saved. And the last time, he messed up. He made a deal with Lucifer. But in return, the world got destroyed. So to prevent that, I am really working my ass off." Zeus puffed his chest and made a worn out face.
"Okay. Aside from that, didn't you say he hurt himself badly. So who's taking care of him?" Momoko asked.
"Well, I asked my elder sister to look after him. She is a household goddess. So she can look after him just fine."
"Well that's good. But will your plan really work?" Mizuki showed signs of worry.
"Yes. With you five serving as his shackles, he should be okay." He said.
"Five? Not two?" Momoko asked.
"Yes. Other three are from the world where I am sending him. Together, you five will work to keep him under control. Think of it as being his manager." Zeus said.
"I get it. But why are so hasty with this stuff?" Momoko asked.
"That's…..a…different story." Zeus was being vague.
"Sounds like trouble. Tell us what you're hiding." Mizuki pressed on that matter.
"Well, he has an assassin waiting to kill him."
"Assassin? Who is trying to kill him?" Mizuki asked.
"A god hired the assassin. But that's not the problem. The problem is assassin itself." Zeus said.
"The assassin? Who is it?" Momoko asked.
"Mizuki, what if you are not his only sister?" Zeus asked Mizuki instead.
Mizuki quickly got angry and started hitting him.
"Yes. The assassin is his real sister. In a sense. His research data was saved. So another human was created. So basically a sister, see?" Zeus said.
However both of them were really mad at Zeus.
