episode 57's

the forest of seka......

"it looks like it's about to start." said Rowi speaking to herself as she looked at the zenai city kingdom from the hill and gave a small smile.

"i thought it was you, black storm." said Gacha calmly behind Rowi.

"oh, dark girl, I'm surprised you can find me said Rowi as she glanced at the gacha behind her.

"is all this a nyoren plan?. "ask gacha.

"yes, it seems like so, I don't know who else to side with, but, this might be too late" Rowi replied calmly.

"what does it mean?. "ask gacha out loud.

"nyoren is about to start, a game of chess along with the demon of fire" Rowi replied.

"you're still on his side right" said Gacha seriously.

"hahaha, did I make you suspicious?. " asked Rowi after laughing.

"no need to lie anymore, from the beginning you did not want it. "gacha replied seriously.

"it's my choice, if I'm ultimately wrong, I have no intention of returning right, I've told you right, my life is only once, like the thing that clouds disappear from the sky. " rowi said after looking into Gacha's eyes seriously.

"i can't stand in your way, but, if one day you want to change, then your heart must be changed" Gacha said.

"you say it again a second time" Rowi said, recalling the moment Gacha said the same word.

"were you talking about 2 years ago?" asked Gacha quietly.

"i can't forget it, therefore, I will continue to move forward on my own path, I hope I can see you change, see you later. " rowi said after that immediately went to plunge from the hill and disappeared.

"two years have passed, he has also changed a lot since we parted." said Gacha, recalling the past two years.

--------------------------------------------

2 Years ago........

"sister, don't leave me!!. " cried gicha while trying to prevent the gacha from leaving but was held back by her father garen.

"calm down, gicha, I understand how you feel, your sister only left for 1 year in that place anyway, so after that she can come back, your sister still has to do a lot of special exercises, you know, you see, "the word garen convinced gicha.

"i understand" said Gicha, wiping her tears.

"gacha, I wait for you, come back, we will always be together as brothers, don't forget us, you understand" Opel said sternly and tried to cover her tears.

gacha just nodded then approached Opel and wiped his tears on the cheek that was almost dripping.

"come back immediately" Opel said, hugging Gacha tightly.

"now is the time, let's go, gacha." said garen, holding gacha's hand.

gacha just kept silent while waving his left hand to Opel and gicha, after which the garen used his shadow element to create a vehicle from the shadows so that the two of them just sat and waited until at Sonase city, Sonase, while on the road.......

"how can father use the shadow element?, instead of the father element used to be lightning." asked gacha.

"it seems like it's time for you to know about this, actually I got the shadow element from the black crystal given by your mother, your mother said that if the crystal was a dark element crystal of immense power, its power was enormous, in other words, it was the crystal that sealed the great element of darkness so that its users would not fall into hatred, your mother entrusted this crystal to me to keep it, and then when the time had come, then I have to destroy it, that's the last message from your mother" said Garen.

"why should it be destroyed?." asked gacha in surprise.

"father himself does not know either. "garen replied while bowing his head and closing his eyes.

arriving at the monster control shelter.........

"there is still yes" said the owner of the monster control shelter while looking at the garen and gacha in front of the gate.

"sorry a little late, I want you to look after and guide my son so that he can control the monsters inside him, please. " said garen while bowing his head towards the owner of the monster control shelter.

"we try. " said the owner of the monster control shelter.

"thank you, gacha, be a good boy and don't get misguided there ya, I'm sure, you can definitely control a monster like your mother." said garen squatting while staring at gacha and holding his shoulder.

"dad handsome." said Gacha with a calm expression while rubbing the tears of garen on his cheek.

after that Gacha went along with the owner of the monster control shelter to show his room.

"you look a lot like your quiet mother, gacha" said Garen, looking at the gacha from a distance and slowly leaving.

after a few days at the monster control shelter.......

gacha was sitting alone enjoying his candy in a chair close to the park under a fairly large tree, then suddenly there was a girl who came to him.

"hey you, try to hang out" said a girl who saw Gacha alone and approached her and sat down.

"why?." asked Gacha while enjoying the candy.

"we've been here three days and you've always been alone, why don't you interact with the people around you, are you a shy girl.

"hmm" said Gacha as he looked at the girl.

"no no, I don't mean to make fun of me anyway, if you want, I can be your first friend" the girl said with a big smile.

"your name?. "ask gacha with a calm expression.

"oh right, my name is serin, then your name?. " said the girl who called her name serin.

"gacha." said gacha.

"gacha, I'll remember it, then what monster do you belong to?. "ask serin.

"shadow monster." replied gacha.

"it seems interesting, how does it form?. "ask serin.

"horned, the rest I don't know" replied Gacha.

"no wonder it's called a shadow monster, my monster seems to be the opposite of you" Serin said.

"you mean?, your monster?. " asked gacha.

"hmm, my monster is a fairy of light" replied Serin.

"uh, are not fairies and monsters different?" asked Gacha in surprise.

"right, but right now, he is still very sensitive, I don't know how long he will continue like this, therefore, he is still very sensitive, my mother sent me to this place so that I could control the light fairy that was inside of me, "serrin replied.

"so yes" said Gacha with a calm expression.

"why do you always put on such a face, no wonder if people see you as weird, well, it seems like I should go practice again, if there's time, I'll introduce you to others, I'll introduce you to others, okay. "serrin blinked his eyes and left gacha.

"if my mother was alive, would she have thought that way too" said Gacha, remembering serin.

2 days later.........

in the dining room, all the monster controlling children were resting after undergoing strenuous training for the first time.

"hey, why don't you look exhausted after a strenuous workout. "ask a boy who comes to the gacha table.

"do I have to introduce my name first" said the boy calmly.

"sorry to keep you waiting, oh it turns out there is gacha. "said serin who suddenly came.

"you recognize him?. "asked the boy while looking serin.

"yes, I forgot to introduce him to you, he is a gacha. "answer serin introduced gacha to the boy.

"then who is he?" asked gacha calmly.

"introduce, his name is jaylain, he who helped me on the first day when I almost fell from a tree while helping a cat" replied serin introducing jaylain to gacha.

"it doesn't need to be discussed, it's not important" said Jaylain calmly, closing his eyes.

"gacha, we will both accompany you to eat" Serin said.

"it doesn't matter" said Gacha while enjoying his meal.

"heh, it turns out that the personalities of the two of you are the same" said Serin while looking at the two of them.

"not really" said Jaylain calmly as he enjoyed his meal.

"actually I've met another boy in the corner of the room, it seems like he also has the same personality as the two of you, it feels strange" said Serin while enjoying his meal.

"don't eat while talking" said Gacha.

"sorry, sorry, I just wanted to share a little story with you guys, end you two look awkward" Serin said.

"then who's the boy you mentioned?. "ask Jaylain diverted the conversation.

"oh, yes, I don't know his name, but he certainly has the element of darkness lightning" Serin said, recalling the boy.

"exciting." said Gacha calmly.

"lightning the darkness, no doubt, she is Rowi, the owner of the storm monster." said Jaylain while thinking calmly.

"where did you know that?". asked serin in surprise.

"i spoke to him once, but only a word" replied Jaylain.

"knowing your personality is so, I'm not surprised" said Serin.

"he's never approached or approached by anyone, he's very secretive, although we can say our personalities are the same, but he has his own thoughts" said Jaylain.

"reasonable" said Gacha.

"it's true, but I want him to be our friend" Serin said.

"why do you like people like that to be friends, there are many people who have an open nature, after all it seems impossible" said Jaylain.

"i want to know more about personalities like you, seeing you guys, I remember my brother who also has that personality, I will keep trying and persuade him to make friends. " serin said with confidence.

"it's up to you, I want to go back, see you later" said Jaylain after a meal, leaving them alone.

"we're still friends right?" asked Serin by shouting at jaylain.

jaylain who heard it only raised his right hand and walked out of the dining area.

"serin, I want to know your reason, why you're friends." asked Gacha with a calm expression.

"i just want peace in this world, my reason for being friends with people like you is, wanting to know more about your personality, if I can figure it out, I can talk to my brother. " answer serin.

"so after this, you will definitely try to get Rowi to make her friends like you did to me at that time, right?" asked Gacha.

"yes, that's it. " replied serin with a smile.

"let me do it, you want to know how people like me do it, you can see it from a distance" Gacha said.

"uh, are you okay. "ask serin worriedly.

"leave it to me. " replied gacha calmly.

a little while later, Gacha went to find Rowi, after so long searching, Gacha finally remembered something.....

"wait, he is a loner, he must be in a dark or quiet place that no one around him, why don't I think of it. " said Gacha while thinking.

then after that Gacha looked for it in a quiet place and a dark hallway, while tracing in a hallway, gacha found a clue, namely the scent of a wind mixed with darkness, and the, gacha follows the scent and arrives at a secluded passageway from the monster control shelter, where he finds Rowi standing on the edge of a dark hallway, then the serin who had followed Gacha secretly saw and listened to their conversation.

"i found you" said Gacha as he slowly approached Rowi.

"this scent, you are a user of the dark element right" Rowi said as she sensed the aura of the dark element from the gacha.

"right, then you're Rowi, the storm monster's controller, right" said Gacha after stopping to step toward Rowi.

"what do you want from me?" asked Rowi who was still closing her eyes from earlier.

"i just wanted to ask you something. "pinta gacha.

"don't ask stupid questions in front of me, you understand." said Rowi as she slowly opened her right eye.

"i just want to ask, what is a friend?. "asked Gacha with a calm expression.

(serin who heard it from a distance was immediately shocked).

"heh, what do you mean" said Rowi rather surprised and turned to Gacha.

"friend, what is a friend?." asked Gacha a second time.

"hmm, friend yes, friend is the one who comes in when you need, like that, if you don't mind you can go" Rowi said calmly as she thought, then turn his face away.

"oh, I see, (so that's why Serin wants to make friends, it seems interesting). "gacha said in his heart while thinking.

"why are you asking such a thing. "said serin in his heart while monitoring the gacha from a distance.

"hey, can I be friends with you" said Gacha, looking at Rowi, who turned her face away.

"why do you want to be friends with someone like me, I feel it's no longer appropriate to be friends with someone" Rowi said as she recalled her past as she befriended someone and then removed it.

"it's okay, I don't really know about making friends either, how about you also teach me about friendship after we make friends" Gacha said with a calm expression.

"i'm not sure if my first friend was a girl, but, I, " said Rowi cut by gacha.

"just relax, I won't ask you anything like that, hmm, you don't seem interested in being friends with me" said Gacha after cutting Rowi's words.

"no problem, I will be friends with you, but do you really want to accept me to be your friend?, " asked Rowi with a calm expression.

"i accept what it is, after all, you're pretty cool" said Gacha after turning his face away with a small smile.

"ehh, alright" said Rowi somewhat surprised after that turning her face away.

"then meet me at the diner tomorrow, see you later" said Gacha after his disappearance leaving Rowi.

"mysterious girl" said Rowi with a small smile
