Paradoxon: Fix In Posterum
The Fix 73

"But Rei…"

"We don't have much time to keep thinking. The longer we buy time, the more exhausted the rest of the time is only for us to stretch. Soon we have to help Nero before he gets really stuck in there and we lose him for good. You don't want something like that to happen, do you?"

"No. But I also don't want to lose you Rei. Especially after what happened first." Elvina shook her head. He looked completely unsettled and Rei could see it very clearly.

"You take it easy El! I was once free and free from it. I've also faced it head-on with Lucy and Louis, so I'll be fine. You take it easy."

"How can I calm down! At least Lucy helped you, and you're not alone. You can survive and work with him."

"What's different about now? Now Louis is still there to help me and he will always take care of me and help me. Just like before, he won't be silent when he sees me in trouble. Because basically, Louis was created to help, guard, and accompany me."

"Huft~" Elvina let out a long sigh. "Then, you have to promise me that you'll be fine and you'll come back safe!"

"I promise you," Rei frowned at Elvina and William alternately.

"alright. Then, I begin," said Rei who then laid his body right next to Nero beside him. Dean and his friends only noticed what he was doing. Rei there sighed as long as three times, before then he closed his eyes.

"Louis," Rei said in his inner voice as he closed his eyes slowly. In front of him, he could see Louis now standing staring at him. The man stood in the darkness that enveloped his surroundings.

"I hope you keep your promise" muttered Elvina with a worried look on her face.

"I'm sure Rei will definitely keep his promise," William tried to calm Elvina down.

...*...

"You ready?" Nata asked Nero who had just finished dressing. The woman now wears a short sweatshirt wrapped in a jeans jacket with both arms folded up to reach the elbow, while her legs wear hotpants with materials and colors similar to her jacket. Part of his foot, he wore boots heels that are not too high.

"Yes, I'm ready" said Nero, smiling at him.

"Then hold this!" Nata gave the hook and fishing rod in his hand to Nero while he was busy tucking his long hair into pigtails one back like a ponytail.

"Then let's go!" Said Nata who then grabbed back the hook and fishing gear in the hands of Nero.

"Come," said Nero eagerly. He then walked along with Nata towards the side door of the house so that they could arrive faster at the lake where they would go fishing.

Arriving at the lake, they approached a small pier there. Walk slowly up the boat then sit quietly there and start rowing so that it can arrive at a place a little further from the edge of the lake.

The two of them began to enjoy fishing together and began to get busy with their activities.

...*...

"This is the right time to make his soul trapped completely in my world" he said, grinning to look at Nero who is now with Nata in the middle of the lake there. Both were busy fishing and joking.

...*...

"Norway? I didn't expect that Nero would actually come back here" Rei muttered as he arrived right in front of the large, luxurious mansion whose courtyard was extremely spacious.

The house looked like a palace in the days of the ancient kingdom, with a very wide courtyard and a large gate so high. The house stood there behind.

Rei knows where he is. Although he came from a different country, but Rei can understand with every writing he saw there. The inscription was engraved on the side wall of the gate, just above the house number he saw.

"That's probably because the thing Nero was most afraid of was when he had to lose and part with his elder sister Nata, sir" said Louis who was standing right beside him.

Rei looked towards himself there. Given the fact that Nero has an older sister who is very dear to him makes him also remember the figure of his first brother. Rei remembers that when he was trapped in the same world, his greatest fear was losing loved ones. One of them is his first brother.

Rei was the third of four children. He was closest to his first sister, while his relationship with his second brother and his relationship with his younger sister were not very good. It was because since childhood, since he was always left alone by both his parents, and since he became the child who most lacked the affection of both of his parents, his parents, only his first brother was always present to accompany him. Always entertaining and making her laugh. So no wonder once he was trapped in that world, one of his fears was the loss of his older sister.

"Let's find him" asked Rei who then stepped toward the gate there.

He then stepped into the gate whose guards were going to the toilet. Louis was always beside her, accompanying her and making sure that Rei was in good shape.

Rei stopped his footsteps as soon as he arrived in front of the house. He was silent for a moment looking at his beautiful home.

"They're not here" Rei murmured. Louis just silently stared at him, confirming the remark from Rei. They then moved to another place. Rei accompanied by Louis walked towards the side yard which immediately led them to the park that was no less spacious than his yard.

In the park there are various types of plants that are deliberately planted to decorate the open tea place.

"Looking at this house, it made me think of the home of Lucy's grandparents in Paris, France" Rei said, circulating his views.

"Yes, you're right, sir…"

Rei's focus was immediately seized by something he suddenly felt.

"What's up, sir?"
