"Master! Be aware!" Louis tried to resuscitate Rei from his stupor. Louis pumped the man's chest vigorously, trying to pull out any water he accidentally swallowed.

"Uhuk-uhuk," Rei coughed there. It let out all the water that accidentally choked into his mouth.

Louis stopped his activities, he then noticed Rei who now began to blink both of his eye beads. And his two eyes began to open, revealing irish eyes that were so beautiful.

"Master," Louis smiled wryly at him, as soon as Rei opened his eyes.

"Louis, uhuk-uhuk.." Rei tries to get up, and Louis helps him.

"Thank God you're conscious."

"Thank you for helping me."

"No need to thank me. It has become an obligation and a duty that I have to live."

"Oh yeah, Nero!" Rei turned to look at Nero who was still lying there. "Did he still faint?" Rei asked as he turned towards Louis.

"Yes sir."

"We need to wake him up as soon as possible."

"Right sir," said Louis who then sat beside Rei.

"Nero wake up," muttered Rei while pumping Nero's chest. He kept moving, trying to pull out the water he accidentally drank.

"Uhuk-uhuk," Nero coughed there, and the water that was originally in his body, he managed to get out little by little.

"Come, awake! We need to get home soon. Your friends are waiting" muttered Rei who kept pumping his chest until all the water he swallowed came out.

"Uhuk-uhuk," Nero again coughed. And this time, Rei stopped as his two eyes caught Nero who started to blink both eyes.

"Thank God he was conscious" said Rei who then sighed in relief.

Slowly, Nero's eyes opened. Rei and Louis approached towards him, looking at the man from a direction quite close to his face.

His originally blurred vision, finally became clear when he focused his gaze toward Rei and Louis there.

"A-argh," Nero attempted to get up from his position, and soon Rei helped him to sit there.

"Du har reist deg," said Rei who looked relieved. Meanwhile, Nero who was in his eyes actually looked at him with a confused face.

(Du har reist deg,/you're sober)

"Hvem er du's?" He asked as he stared alternately at Rei and Louis.

(Hvem er du?/ Who are you?)

"Geek, Nero has started to lose his memory of me," Rei muttered. He looked towards Louis beside him.

"It seems that the effect is starting to work sir," Louis said.

"Yes. The effects of this world began to work. But I hope Nero can remember me easily" Rei said. He turned to look at Nero who was still looking at him with a confused face.

Rei raised his right hand with three fingers folded, leaving his index and middle fingers.

Nero was still looking at him with a confused look on his face, staring at Rei's hand there. The man began to close his eyes and in an instant, Nero was suddenly startled with a card that suddenly appeared between the middle finger and the ring finger of Rei.

Rei opened his eyes again, staring at Nero who was still looking at him. He was approaching Nero. Next to his hand held Nero's shoulder, asking him to be quiet.

"W-what are you doing," said Nero.

"We have to be more careful and we don't let our guard down. We don't get caught."

"Yes." Yeah."

"alright. Oh, guys, I think I should go now" said Nero across the street.

"Ah, well then see you in the dorm" said Marko.

"Yes, see ya."

"Remember! Don't let your guard down and stay careful" Taz said.

"Yes. You too, and don't forget to go home before school time, '" Nero reminded.

"Yes. We won't be here long anyway" said Vicenzo.

"Then I'll see you."

"Yes. See you," they said. Nero ended his call.

"Nero!" His spontaneous call made the man surprised.

"A-ah, huh sir? Why?" He asked with a surprised face. He looked at Cato who had just arrived at the library room and surprised him.

"I almost forgot something before you left."

"uh? What is it sir?"

"Can you help me to bring these things to the warehouse? I have a hard time bringing this much stuff myself. Therefore, since you have no other activities I ask you to help. It's okay, right?" Cato showed me a stack of books he had just prepared.

"Oh, of course sir. I will help, after all I have no other job."

"A-astaga," Nero grimaced as his hand felt pain from carrying a few piles of books in his hand. He hastened his pace, cutting off the road to the park.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't see you" said Nero, who then helped the man to stand up. "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean it" he said as soon as the man managed to get up from his original position.

"Just calm down, I'll help you get all the books done. Better now you sit down and rest first, and I happen to have a drink. You want?" The man handed him a bottle of water he was carrying.

"Take it," he said again. Nero then grabbed a drink in the man's hand and sat right next to him.

"You have to drink a lot so you can be more powerful" said the man, who opened his bottle and gulped. Nero helped open the bottle that was in his grasp and then looked at him for a moment before drinking it.

"Try, after all, this is delicious and can increase your stamina."

"All right let me try" answered Nero, who then drank the bottle.

When Nero's lips came into contact with the lip of the bottle, Nero could clearly smell a unique aroma coming out of the drink.

"Hows it? Yummy?" The man asked, looking at Nero.

"Yes. Feels en…"

A BRUUKKK!!!

Nero had not yet finished his sentence, the man had already fallen to the ground in a state of unconsciousness.

Nero opened his two eyes spontaneously as the memory after memory was suddenly re-present in his memory.

Rei opened his eyes slowly and looked at Nero there.
