Third POV:
"Um, your hand is," Shou said while blushing.
" Oh, sorry," he said as he let go.
He smiled at him and lifted Shou's chin.
"I've never seen your face before. You're new around here; you're kind of cute," he said.
" That's not true; I'm not cute," Shou said while blushing.
He got closer and tried to kiss Shou, but Zetsu pulled him back.
"I'm sorry, Prince Sakuya, but you cannot have him. Shou-chan isn't a woman," Zetsu shouted.
"Sakuya-san, wait is he the same Sakuya as," Shou thought.
"Shou-chan, surely you remember me, don't you," Sakuya asked.
"Are you Sakuya-san," Shou asked while his eyes were wide open.
"Shou, you remember me, how nice; after all, we are best friends," Sakuya said.
" How are you in this world?"After you died, I was brought back to my original world; the Sakuya you knew in that world doesn't exist; I was sent there to observe you, Shou-chan," Sakuya said
" How are you in this world?"
"After you died, I was brought back to my original world; the Sakuya you knew in that world doesn't exist; I was sent there to observe you, Shou-chan," Sakuya said.
" Then you were lying to me about your confession, right."
"That bit was true; I didn't want to see you die; it was the most heartbreaking thing ever. You said you weren't rejecting me; you didn't want to weigh me down. Of course, this meeting is coincidental, and I'm already back to my original form; my blonde hair, although you've never seen it this long. You never saw my true eye color, and my face looks older, right," he said before grabbing Shou by his wrist.
Sakuya looked angry.
"It hurts," Shou thought.
" You have no idea how furious I was with the women lucky enough to be able to date you, yet they were bored of you. I wanted you as my own; that's why, before you died. I wanted to confess my feelings, but the emptiness I saw in your eyes. I knew words wouldn't be enough to get through to you, to stop you from killing yourself. So I used magic and brought you to this world where you should have been. I changed your clothes, but I have no idea about your abnormal magic rates," he said.
Shou felt scared as his grip tightened.
"You're coming with me."
" Sakuya, I don't want to," he said.
Sakuya's eyes widened as he saw that Shou was scared. He let his wrist go.
"I'm sorry, Shou," he said as he gave him a quick hug and turned away.
" Shou, I won't keep you imprisoned with me; I'll summon you soon. It would be best if you didn't fear me," Sakuya said while gripping his fist.
"Sakuya-san," Shou said.
Sakuya disappeared, and Shou fell to his knees.
" Sakuya-san were you my real friend," Shou mumbled sadly.
"Shou, are you alright," Zetsu asked.
" Yes, but I just felt terrified. Sakuya was different from before, and he looked furious."
"Prince Sakuya is always like this. Though I wonder why he was observing you"?
"Could it be like Hisami said, I was born into the wrong world? He was sent to observe me in that world, and now since I'm here, he no longer needs to observe me," Shou asked.
" Shou-chan, that seems about right."
Shou got up, then Zetsu hugged him.
"Hey, it's alright; the guild members will be friends with you. Seina likes you, Hisami likes you, Kamiya likes, and I like you. I'm sure you'll have plenty of friends once you have gotten used to being in our guild," Zetsu said while patting him on the head.
Zetsu let him go, and Shou smiled.
" Zetsu-san, you're nice; you're my first friend in this world," Shou said with a bright smile.
"Adorable," Zetsu thought.
" Anyway, Hisami has picked out your weapon; follow me."
"But I don't have money to pay for it."
" Don't worry; the owner owes us a favor."
"They do"?
" Yeah."
Shou followed Zetsu to Hisami and the owner of the shop.
"Yo, Zetsu," the owner said.
" Musara-san," Zetsu said.
He saw Shou.
"That kid is he the one you mentioned, Hisami," Musara asked.
"Yeah, his potential power is amazing; if he can access it, he'll be a valuable asset to our guild and himself."
" But what if the royal guard tries to steal him," Musara asked.
"Musara-san, have you seen any of our members become a royal guard."
" No, but what if they threaten that kid, you know to use the guild against him."
"Our guild is the strongest; even the weakest among us is strong. So, he won't have to worry."
" I have the perfect weapon for that boy."
"You do," Zetsu asked.
"Cebris," Musara said.
Suddenly their eyes widened.
" I can only give to him if the sword doesn't reject him," Musara said.
Suddenly Shou began hearing something.
"Come closer, Moriyama Shou," he heard.
Shou began walking towards the voice. The sword had magic pouring around it.
"Call on me, Moriyama Shou," it said.
"What is your name?"
Suddenly the arguing between the blacksmith and Hisami stopped. They saw Shou near the sword.
" I haven't even introduced them yet," he said.
"Cebris," it said.
"Cebris," Shou said.
"Grab the sword," It said.
Shou grabbed it and his magic power around him.
" The contract is sealed," the sword said.
"Cebris must like Shou to call on him like that," Musara said.
" Shou," Zetsu said.
A blue color aura appeared like flames and surrounded him.
"Pretty," he thought.
"Hmmm, that boy has quite the affinity for magic," Musara said.
Shou's hair was glowing a brighter color. His eyes became a sharp silver. Shou's features memorized Zetsu. The power died down, and Shou looked at them.
"What just happened," Shou asked as he held the sword in his hand.
"Cebris has chosen you; quite a surprise that Cebris, the demon lord, would choose a child like yourself."
"Demon lord," Hisami and Zetsu shouted.
"Yeah, Cebris, the demon lord, dropped his essence into that sword before he passed away. He lives in that sword now; that sword will never break or wear; no matter what happens, it is the strongest material known to man. Also, because of Cebris's power, the sword is only allowed to be handled by the owner, so others may not steal it," Musara said.
Shou looked into his blade.
"Thank you for choosing me, Cebris-san," Shou said with a smile.
"So cute," Cebris thought.
"Alright, do you have a sheath for the sword, "Hisami asked.
"Shou, ask Cebris to create one," Musara said.
"Cebris-san, are you able to create a scabbard?"
"Yeah, I'll create one through your magic; it'll create more of a barrier to other's magic," Cebris said.
A sheath was created for the sword, and finally, Shou obtained his weapon.
Cebris POV:
Shou is too adorable; his mana is so light-hearted. He is so pure but full of sadness. I remember seeing a vision of what had happened before. Shou doesn't understand that humans are assholes. Although considering that Musara, that Hisami guy, and that Zetsu person helped him, I guess humans aren't all that bad.
"Cebris-san, thank you, " he said.
Shou is way too cute; I love him. That wasn't part of choosing him, though.
Third POV:
After leaving the store, Shou's stomach growled.
"Come to think of it, it's been almost half a day, and I haven't eaten anything, " Shou thought as he began blushing.
" Shou-chan, are you hungry, " Zetsu asked.
"Yeah, but I should be alright, don't worry about me," Shou said before his stomach growled.
Shou's face grew a brighter red.
"Hah, Hisami, let's go to Akina's."
" Akina's, sure," Hisami said.
"But I don't have any money, " Shou said.
" Don't worry; I'll pay for your food, although Zetsu is on his own."
"But."
"Let's go, Shou-chan, " Zetsu said.
Zetsu grabbed his hand and began pulling him.
"Whoa, " Shou said while being pulled.
After getting to a restaurant named Family diner and bar, Shou was in the middle of Hisami and Zetsu.
"What would you like to eat," Hisami asked Shou.
He handed him a menu.
"A Hamburger is okay," Shou said.
"Shou-chan, you can order something else if you want, don't worry; akina-san over there gives our guild a discount. You should order something else, too, " Hisami said.
"Chocolate cake and a glass of milk would be good too."
" Shou-chan," Zetsu thought.
"Shou-Kun," Hisami thought.
" You're just like a kid," They thought.
Zetsu signaled a waitress to come over.
"I'll have the pepper steak with baked potatoes and rice," Zetsu said.
"I'll have the fish, particularly with a side of rice and miso soup. This guy right here will have the hamburger steak over rice with gravy, also add a chocolate cake with a glass of milk too, " Hisami said.
Shou began blushing.
"But, " Shou said.
"So cute, " Hisami thought.
After taking the order, in about 10 minutes, it was ready.
"Thanks for the meal," Shou said as he clasped his hands together.
He then picked up the chopsticks and began eating. His expression lit up immediately.
"It's amazing, " Shou said with a bright smile.
Then suddenly, people around them thought about ordering what he just had.
" Waiter, I would like whatever that beautiful boy is having, " A woman shouted.
"Me too, waiter."
A few minutes later, fifty Hamburger steak plates came out.
Suddenly the owner had a plan. They came and greeted Shou.
"Yo, Hisami, Zetsu, who's your friend, "Akina asked.
" I'm Moriyama Shou."
"Pick anything on the menu you would like to try, and it's on the house," He said.
" Really?"
"Yeah."
" Then how about red rice? Also, some Onigiri with sour plum, " Shou said while blushing.
"Coming up," he shouted as he ran into the kitchen.
A few hours later...
" Shou-Kun, thank you for expressing such happiness towards our food. Thanks to you, we made a pretty penny tonight", Akina said.
"No problem, uh."
" Call me Aki-chan, and I'll call you Shou-chan," he said.
"Aki-chan, thank you for the delicious food; I loved it," Shou said with a smile.
Akina looked at Shou while blushing.
" Since you were nice to Shou tonight, I'll tip a bit extra tonight," Hisami said as he saw Shou's happy expression.
Shou stretched and Yawned.
"I wonder where I'm going to sleep tonight, " Shou said with a sigh.
Suddenly the three idiots that overheard were playing rock paper scissors.
"One round, rock, paper scissors," They said.
Hisami chose rock, Akina chose stone, and Zetsu chose paper.
" Hah, I win," Zetsu said.
"Best out of three," Hisami shouted.
"Nope, it was a winner takes. Shou, you can sleep at my place until you find your own, " Zetsu said with an innocent smile.
"But, you guys already did so much for me; if you throw in this, I feel that I'll be taking advantage of you guys," Shou said with a sad expression.
Zetsu patted his head.
" Don't worry, I don't mind; after all, you just got into this world and have no money or other friends. Also, you have no way of defending yourself; I'm worried about you. So take my offer, okay, "Zetsu said.
" Zetsu is offering it to you, so go ahead," Hisami said while looking worried for Shou.
"Zetsu-san, Hisami-senpai, you both are way too nice. I accept your offer Zetsu-san," Shou said with a smile.
After arriving at Zetsu's place, Shou was amazed.
"Zetsu, this isn't a house; it's a mansion, " he said.
"Yeah, after saving this town single-handedly and training the guards in the castle, I got this mansion from the king himself. That was probably when I first met prince Sakuya", Zetsu said.
" But you have maids and butlers."
"Yeah, he said this wasn't even close to being enough for what I did. I can't explain why Hisami wasn't asked before; he's a lot stronger than me".
" Just how strong is he"?
"Let's just say, for a human, he's inhuman," Zetsu said with a dark expression.
Shou yawned and rubbed his eyes.
" I hate not knowing what time it is," Shou thought.
Zetsu smiled.
"You're probably tired; why don't you go take a bath."
"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea," Shou said.
Suddenly Shou's sword began lighting up.
" Hey, You idiot demon, if you so much as glance at Shou's naked body, I'll curse you," Cebris shouted.
Zetsu sighed.
"Don't worry, I won't; geez, I'm not a creep," Zetsu shouted.
" Cebris," Shou said.
"Shou, place me by the bathroom door before you go in, " Cebris shouted.
"Okay, Cebris-san, but why, " Shou asked.
"This guy is so oblivious," Cebris thought.
" Because of our contract, I can't be too far from you, " he lied.
"Okay, then where is the bath, Zetsu-san?"
" Shizuna-san", Zetsu said.
A maid appeared, and she bowed.
"Yes, Master Zetsu."
" Please show him to the bathhouse, and get him a change of clothes."
"Yes, Master Zetsu, " She said as she looked at Shou.
" Quite a cute male could master be one of those types of men, " she thought.
"I'm Moriyama Shou; nice to meet you, Shizuna-san, " Shou said with a smile.
" Master Zetsu, pardon me, but how come you have this angel in your home?"
"Angel, yeah, that is very true," Zetsu and Cebris thought.
" He doesn't have a place to stay at the moment, so I offered my assistance."
"Master Shou, please follow me."
" Yes, " Shou said.
Shou followed her to a double door, and she opened it and held the door. I walked in, and she grabbed a towel from the closet and handed it to me with a cloth.
"Here, Master Shou, through the other door is the bath, you can place your clothes in the basket, and I will have them washed and dry by tomorrow morning. I will fetch you some sleeping clothes, knock on the door, and if you are still in this room, say I'm still getting undressed. I don't want to walk in on you changing, so please be listening".
" Yes."
After that, she left.
