Beautiful mornings always start with the chirping of very noisy birds.
With dew drops of water still clinging to the leaves of the trees. Everyone woke up from their sleep, and started doing their daily activities.
Except, two people who just finished a birthday party.
"I forgot that Linc doesn't have a means of communication."
Driving her black car. Casrita stopped in front of Linc's house, got off, and she opened the door, as if it were her house.
"I smell a sweet smell~!"
Has pink cat ears that move. Casrita entered the living room, and her footsteps suddenly stopped just like that.
"CREK!"
"CREK!"
"CREK!"
....
Hearing a very noisy voice entered her ears. Raina, who was still fast asleep, slowly opened her eyelids.
Could hear other people's heartbeats, heard very clearly near her ears. Raina opened her sleepy eyes, and she looked at Casrita.
Seeing Casrita take a photo of herself using Key master with a very excited look. Raina slightly raised her eyebrows, confused.
"Haha, this is a very rare photo! The innocent face that just woke up is so cute~!!"
Seeing that Raina was sleeping on Linc's chest with her innocent face. Casrita who still saw Raina's confused face. The more it shoots at full speed. Don't want to miss an important opportunity like this.
"Hah?"
Was dazed for a few seconds. Raina suddenly looked down, and she saw the figure of a Devil lying under her body.
Raina: "!!!!"
Woke up Immediately with a flushed face. Raina raised her right hand to her mouth, to cover her embarrassment, and she shouted:
"No, it's not what you see!! I just accidentally fell asleep!"
"Yes, yes. Falling asleep in a man's arms. You know how to find the most comfortable bed position."
Having a reddened face hearing Casrita's words. Raina's ears had also turned pink, from being too embarrassed.
"Th-It was accidental..."
"I see. It's ok."
Looked at Raina who had a red face, tried to deny her actions. Casrita patted Raina's shoulder, and she immediately kicked Linc's slightly distended stomach.
"Uhuk! My stomach!!"
Wake up from deep sleep. Linc curled up on the spot, clutching his stomach tightly, and he nearly threw up on the spot.
"Doctor Servial said he wants to talk to you as soon as possible. Hurry up and take a shower, you smell really bad!"
"You have to hurry. Today is going to be a busy day."
Rose from the floor with quivering feet. Linc walked into the bathroom, with a very bad expression on his face.
His stomach felt like it was going to burst.
"You promised to give me cake yesterday! Is it still there?"
"In the fridge!"
Linc's voice, constipated, could be heard from inside the bathroom.
Walk to the refrigerator, and open it. Casrita couldn't say in surprise.
"Wow, how much did you make cake last night? The whole fridge is almost full!"
Raina, who had only been listening since earlier, hurriedly explained.
"Because there's too much cake, and Devil can't finish it. We both cut it, and put all the leftovers in the fridge."
"It took almost a full night to pack it up neatly."
Had another meaning, that she had fallen asleep in Linc's arms by accident.
Take the small piece of cake. Casrita ate it with a spoon, and she looked at Raina with her pink eyes.
Squinting, a mysterious light, full of understanding meaning. Reflected very clearly in Casrita's gentle eyes.
"Devil huh~"
Raina: "...."
Feeling very uncomfortable being stared at by Casrita with smiling eyes, as if she understood what she was thinking at this moment. Raina cleared her throat, and she hurriedly retreated.
"I-I need to take a shower too..."
"See you later!"
Seeing that Raina hastily fled at full speed, it was as if she was afraid of him. Casrita moved the spoon in her hand, and she immediately popped the strawberry-flavored cake into her mouth.
"Young romance."
Casrita smiled, and said it, as if she was a very experienced old girl.
Waiting for Linc to finish showering and change. Casrita got him into the car, and she drove straight away, towards where Doctor Servial was currently at.
"Because you seem to have adapted to the new environment. As promised, you can ask me anything you want. Don't bother Doctor Servial about unimportant things."
Sit next to the driver's seat. Linc looked to the side, and he looked at Casrita with a serious look.
"Where is this?"
"Neisser Society, Dawn City."
"Then what about the people who are Martid island?"
"Oh, you mean the refugees? They've been allocated elsewhere. Even though we are an organization that accepts Transfusions, population explosion is not good for everyone. And you are an exception."
Hearing Casrita's words. Linc knew that he was someone who was immediately accepted into the Neisser Society without going through the various stages of the process.
This may be because the value himself is very important.
Is this insider power?
Quite comfortable.
"No, I asked about something else. Such as Luna, Fusia, Anton, and others. Where are they now?"
Flicked her finger on the steering wheel to think for a moment, composing her words. Casrita opened her mouth.
"Because stupid act you did. Fusia became a vegetative girl, and Luna can't even get up from her wheelchair right now."
"Delta, whom Luna called as a friend. Now become a hard black statue that is hard to move after fighting with a disaster-class Hore monster."
"Other than the condition of the three of them. Many people seem to have died in this tragic incident. We are still collecting data on the number of victims who have fallen, bit by bit."
Opened his eyes wide. Linc had not expected that the situation would turn this serious.
Linc felt a little sorry for the number of victims who continued to increase. But the question he now has is, what's wrong with Fusia and Luna?
Because of his stupid decision?
By the way, Delta. Why did he suddenly turn into a statue!? What really happened to him?
"[I can explain it to you.]"
The system that had been silent all this time, finally started to speak.
"[You threw LOVE into Fusia's consciousness to let the two of them fight each other.]"
"[Because he feels like he won't be able to win. LOVE draws "their" consciousness to fight alongside him, which causes Luna to be indirectly injured from the impact.]"
"[Your plan was a success as both sides suffered fatal injuries... now, LOVE who has an injury, decided to hibernate.]"
"[Because the recovery time is not as fast as yours. Fusia until now is still unconscious to recover consciousness, and Luna who was affected, has the lower half of her body immobilized.]"
"...."
Hear the explanation of the system. Linc felt that all the sources of this problem had come from him.
"Can this still be fixed?"
"[If they were mortals. Soul damage could almost be considered permanent damage. But since they are all part of LOVE's body, their recovery is just a matter of time.]"
Feel relieved to hear the explanation from the system. Linc was finally able to let go of the worries that kept shackled his heart.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"After LOVE is gone, you don't have to pretend to be a system anymore do you? Tell me, what's your name."
Silence for a while. Linc could finally hear the little girl's voice, ringing in his mind.
"[Claire. That's my name.]"
Linc smiled too.
"In that case, thank you Claire. From now on I'll be counting on you."
"[.... You're welcome.]"
Linc somehow heard the little girl's voice, getting smaller each time the two of them spoke.
Maybe just misheard.
