[FYI: this chapter has a back and forth flow and a moving place setting, the ** mark is the boundary that ends the story and indicates the movement of place, time or plot to another story.]
—————————
Lavia Lumiere Rouge, when the word ‘MI’ in ‘MIERE’ and ‘GE’ in ‘ROUGE’ is separated, it will form a new shorter word, it will, that is Lavia ‘Mirage’ which if translated in English means mirage.
La Via is derived from the French word La Vie which means life, while Lumiere Rouge means bright light. When combined, Lavia Lumiere Rouge/Lavia Mirage means Life of bright light/Life of Mirages.
That said, in the Tsukiyama bloodline rumors about the existence of a girl who is able to create a mirage that feels very real.
If he created the sun, then the heat will be felt to penetrate the surface of the skin, if he creates snow, then the cold will feel pierced to the neck bone.
The girl in the news was named Tsukiyama Lavia Lumiere Rouge or better known as Lavia Mirage the mirage girl.
According to reports, his age ranges from 17-18 years.
He never showed his face to the outside world, his existence like an oasis between the desert covered by a dust storm.
His nebulous existence eventually makes his existence as a member of the Tsukiyama family can only be assumed through estimates and word of mouth stories.
Lavia Mirage's name is very vague, like a mirage.
Later a fact about Lavia Mirage has spread warmly among other Tsukiyama family lines.
'Lavia was a girl who was deliberately exiled from the outside world..'
According to the story, Lavia once made 2 family maids who worked at her home lose their minds, whereas what 2 maids did was just go into Lavia's room to put her breakfast there
Not more..
I don't know what Lavia did to the two maids so they lost their minds.
Since the incident, Lavia's father and mother decided to tightly lock the door to her room and not give anyone access to enter, even for themselves.
Both of Lavia's parents shut her down and kept her away from the outside world.
**
*1 month passed..
Lavia was still locked tightly behind the door of her room. He did not feel hungry even though he had been in his room for 1 month without any food.
Nor did he feel thirst or loneliness, he felt no suffering at all.
And what's worse..
‘Such circumstances do not make it die.’
This ultimately convinced her parents that Lavia was not a girl born as a human, her existence really had to be sealed off from the outside world and kept secret.
*1 1 month passed..
Today is a sacred day for all Tsukiyama family members. Every November towards the end of the year, the entire Tsukiyama Family Line will hold a meeting that all family members must follow.
Lavia's family members are among those who will attend.
This family meeting was attended by the elders of Tsukiyama predecessor, very sacred and full of competition.
In this meeting the elders will discuss about the prospective successor who will lead the Tsukiyama bloodline in the future.
Lavia's father and mother left their home with the family's two Butlers to attend the annual meeting, leaving Lavia alone behind her tightly locked bedroom door.
In reality, at a young age, Lavia should be one of the possible successor candidates to lead Tsukiyama's lineage in the future. However, Lavia's parents completely negated her existence.
**
It doesn't feel like 11 months have passed since that meeting..
Lavia's Gray hair grew to almost touch the surface of the floor, her nails were not treated 11 months ago has now been transformed like the nails of a wild animal, her eyes look a bit dry and a little blackened.
If treated, maybe Lavia's eyeball will emit a beautiful red color like the red color of pomegranate. However, the red left in his eyes was now just a dead color, red which signified confusion and despair.

“That's weird, my GIVEN Seek ability can be used to find anything in this world, but I can't find a way out of this island at all.”ucap Charle while forming a light portal using his hands.
“Mistake no mistake, this is the ability of the girl.”returned one of the Tsukiyama family members who later called as uncle by Charle and Sheele.
“...”Charle responded to the uncle's remark with a clueless look.
“Lavia Lumiere Rouge, the mirage girl.”That Tsukiyama's paman looked to be frowning.
It seemed that he had just remembered someone who was extremely troublesome.
“Eh.. So this Island is a GIVEN ability huh ? I didn't know that there was this kind of GIVEN.”balas Charle, but he responded casually.
“This island is a mirage, its existence is not real and only a fantasy, but everyone trapped in it feels the existence of this island as something real."
"That's how the given ability works Lavia the mirage girl.”
“Charle's GIVEN ability is only able to find something that has a form, and cannot be used to find something whose existence is not real, like this island."the Tsukiyama-born uncle explained to Charle.
“Hee.. Outstanding ability.”balas Charle, again with a relaxed tone.
“The soil moisture and salty taste of the sea water feels really real.”ucap Sheele while measuring the soil moisture in both hands.
“Lavia's GIVEN ability to create an unreal imagination, but its existence is really real ."
"This language may be difficult to understand by children like you, the land held by Sheele is a land that feels moist and real, the seawater that flows here also feels salty and cold, he said, but they are not real. Only we who are trapped on this island can feel the elements of both.”ucap the uncle again explained.
“Duh.. You are still children anyway.”ucap the uncle while patting his face with a wrinkled forehead.
“...”Charle turned towards Amane's body which was lying unconscious, he seemed to realize something.
“Uncle! He moved, yelling Charle while pointing at Amane's body.
Charle ran up to Amane's body and spontaneously patted Amane's cheek innocently.
“Let's get up, get up-wake”ucap Charle pat Amane's cheeks alternately.
*GRAPP* quickly Amane's hand gripped Charle's face to make Charle scream. “ARGHH !! I-I'm sorry, please let me go!”charle shouted in pain after Amane grabbed his face.
“...”Amane looked at Charle with a glaring eye, his vision still blurred, but slowly he began to adjust.
“Just a bad boy ya.”gumam Amane, his hands still tightly gripped Charle's face.
“Who are you calling a bad boy huh?! I'm the one who saved you know, thank you a little! Basic do not know shy.”balas Charle with Amane's hand that still grips his face, his cheeks look red.
“Aaaaa, Charle could die.”ucap Sheele with a panicked face.
“Eh ? There is another one whose face is similar, twins yes.”gumam Amane while turning his eyes on Sheele.
Sheele seems to be hiding behind the body of Uncle Tsukiyama, he seems worried about Charle, but he does not dare to approach Amane who like to grab her from there.
“Gorilla.”gumam Sheele while sticking her tongue out from behind her uncle.
“Ha?! You said what the little girl just was.. I couldn't hear clearly.”ucap Amane with an annoyed look and super wrinkled forehead after hearing Sheele's taunts.
“Let me Gorilla girl!!”shouted Charle.
Amane further strengthened his grip to make Charle's face bubble like a hot air balloon.
“Duh, it looks like this will end up troublesome.”murm the uncle while patting his face.
**
“So that's the situation.”sang uncle who comes from the Tsukiyama family poured a glass of warm water and offered it to Amane.
Previously he had explained the situation of the coup that had taken place under the Tsukiyama lineage, and the reason why they ended up on this island.
“Only sea water is manually distilled and warmed.”clear the uncle on Amane.
“You may not have trusted us completely, but this is not toxic.”sang uncle poured the same water on his wooden glass and sipped the warm water in front of Amane.
“So, the three of you are relatives of Koharu-sama huh ?”Amane gulped down the warm water while asking questions of his uncle and Charle and Sheele in front of him.
“Technically, we were exiled because we were weak, other family members who were trying to protect Koharu may have already been wiped out. But don't worry, we're on Koharu's side.” obviously the uncle is trying to convince Amane.
“Thank you.”
“Maybe a little late to say it, but thanks for being by the side Koharu-sama”Amane lowered his face before the Tsukiyama uncle as well as Charle and Sheele.
His face was flushed, probably as a result of the warmth of the distilled water he had just gulped slowly.
Sometimes his eyes seemed swollen, although he tried to cover it with a wooden glass that had been held earlier, but it was very clear that Amane was trying to hide his gratitude.
“...”Everything's gonna be fine.
Sheele approached Amane and gently patted her reddish hair.
“All will be fine.”ucap Sheele for the second time.
“Yosh, then it's time to start the escape mission from this island.”ucap Charle with a tone of spirit and a contrived smile, it seems he also wants to entertain Amane but he is too prestige to show it.
**
“Who is it?”
“I've never seen it.”
“What is he family member ?”
That day, in November, is nearing the end of the year. As usual, the annual meeting of the Tsukiyama family members was held and attended by the elders.
However, everyone at the meeting was surprised by the arrival of a gray-haired girl with reddish eyes who had never appeared before.
This is not a classic story about Cinderella and her magic, but, the girl with the reddish eyeballs came with the wind, wearing glittering glass shoes, accompanied by a loud bang and as if filling the entire corner of the room.
The girl looked at the people around her with her red-colored eyes.
“Hey..”.
“What are you all real ?”said the girl slowly and momentarily accompanied by a cloud of fog that wiped out all the people at the meeting.
**
That day..
In November, towards the end of the year..
Tsukiyama Lavia Lumiere Rouge with her GIVEN known as Mirage or mirage was present at the meeting.
Lavia unleashed her GIVEN ability and erased the existence of the people present at the meeting, they all melted and disappeared like a mirage whose existence was only a fantasy.
‘He slaughtered the people present at the meeting, without creating pain.’
