Happiness is something beautiful. However, behind that beauty, there will always be someone who wants to destroy it.
Various reasons can make everyone want to destroy the happiness of others. But of all the reasons, jealousy is the strongest.
People feel jealous when they see others happy, which is something understandable. But even so, it is still wrong.
It should be known that people who are jealous of others' happiness are those who have never experienced that happiness themselves.
Jealous people sometimes try to destroy the happiness of others so that the happy person can feel what it's like to be unhappy.
Being unhappy does not mean being sad. The state when someone is unhappy and not sad is emptiness.
Their heart has reached a point where they can no longer accept or feel anything. Emptiness is truly empty without anything inside.
And now it seems there are two ghosts feeling jealous of my happiness. These two ghosts are now laughing at me while I smile because I feel happy being called 'brother' by Maria.
"Hey, hey, my violet, do you see the smile on this little boy's face?"
"Yes, my Alex, I see it too, he is happy being called 'brother' by his friend."
"Could it be that we're asking for help from the wrong person?"
"It seems so, he looks like a criminal."
"Pedophile."
"Pedophile."
I, who can no longer contain my anger, shout, "shut up! I am not a pedophile! What's wrong with being happy being called 'brother' by a little girl?"
"It's not wrong, but it's disgusting to see by others!" Alex said.
"Ah, he finally speaks to us. Hey Alex, he's talking to us!" Violet exclaimed.
"Oh, you're right," Alex replied.
"What's wrong with being called ' brother'? Am I not allowed to be called 'brother'? Can't I be their big brother? Are you jealous of me!? Are you two jealous of me? Tell me the truth! Are you two jealous... Of me? Am I right?...," i am seemed to lose control.
"Ah... He's angry," Alex and Violet thought to themselves.
Minutes passed, and now Violet and Alex have managed to calm down myself, who was angry.
"So, about your previous request. You want me to help you, and in return, I have to help you too?" I'm said, still a bit annoyed but starting to calm down.
"Yes, something like that, so... You want?" Alex replied.
"You're the only human who can interact with us!" Violet explained while pleading in front of me.
What's up with these two ghosts? Do they want me to help them? It's clear that it must be related to their two children.
Looking for their two children? Or helping their two children on a journey to an unknown place? Or something else?
It's not that like I don't want to help them. It's just that I have Alice and Maria by my side. If their goal is different from mine, I can't help them at all. Because I am sure I will prioritize Alice and Maria whom I have known from the beginning.
I put on a thoughtful face even though I'm not really thinking. I do it on purpose so they think I won't easily accept their request.
"Are you really sure you can't?" Violet asked.
"We will help you make a pain reliever so Alice's headache won't bother her anymore," Alex said.
Hmm? Alice? He mentioned Alice's name? that's right, I may not understand much about medicine, but what is their request!
I look towards Alice, who I have placed on the patient's bed in the research tent for medications.
I sigh to make myself feel relieved.
There is no other choice, at least I will listen to their request first. It doesn't mean I will accept it!
"So, what do I need to do to help you two?"
Violet looks happy, "are you really going to help us?"
"Depends on your request, if your request contradicts mine."
"Hmm?" Violet looks curious, "what is your goal?"
"To reach the highest level."
Violet smiles again happily, saying, "then it's the same as us! We also want to reach the highest level!"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Violet suddenly falls silent, closes her mouth, then looks at Alex, her husband.
Violet looks sad, Alex hugs her and says to me, "to find our children."
I am not surprised by that, but I still ask, "you mean Eliza and Yumi, right? How can you be sure they will go to the highest level?"
"It's because we told Eliza to go there."
"Hmm," it seems troublesome, I don't want to discuss it in detail in this situation. Alice needs attention first, "so I just have to take you to the highest level?"
"Yes, we have the same goal, right? How about it? My wife and I can also share some of our knowledge about this world with you. Isn't that interesting for you, 'outer god'?"
I am surprised, those words can be known by ghosts. And what surprises me even more is that he directs that question to me. 'Outer god'? How does he know that?
"Why you know about that? Where did you learn that?" I ask.
"I will know just by looking at your aura."
"Aura?"
"Yes, your aura is invisible, limitless, boundless, but it exists and is very clear. Even spiritual entities with low energy can feel it. Your energy is stable even though it's limitless. It's impossible for a human to control unlimited energy. All humans have limits. Except for the 'outer god' that is possessing a human body."
I sweat a little feeling pressured. But over time, I start to realize that I am not being threatened right now. I begin to calm myself by taking deep breaths.
Feeling the need to confirm something first, I ask, "you just want me to take you to the highest level, right?"
"Yes," Alex and Violet answer without hesitation.
Feeling that there are no more issues and all my doubts have disappeared, I say, "alright, I will help you two."
"Are you serious?" Violet asks, flying around happily.
Alex also celebrates and flies around with Violet.
As I suddenly say, "but before that, I want to ask for something from you!"
"What is your request? We will do it as you wish! As long as we can help!"
"For now, can you help me make something to help Alice?"
