Roped Fate
Ch.31: The Illusion of Nightmares
The atmosphere was annoying due to the food box left by Tian, two people there agreed to destroy the food by burning it.
“OK, if this is done, right?” riko said while crossing both hands.
“Ya .. just maybe, I hope next there will be no such mines again,” reply Andi calm down.
Since the affair with the food was done, now Riko could return to her class quietly. However, before that ... Andi held it for a moment to just chat while waiting for food to come from other colleagues.
“Oii .. chairman, I go first yes,” said Riko indifferently.
“Wait a minute! I've told Ruri and Erick to buy food in the cafeteria, wait until they come, let's eat together,” Andi replied.
“Haah ... actually boring, but because I happen to be lazy to class, okay .. I'm here.”
“Good then.”
Shortly after, someone came in and walked into the club room.
“Halo ... Fuurin here, what are you doing?” sapa Fuurin is full of energy.
“Nona Fuurin? come join,” invite Andi friendly.
“Oh, Fuurin huh? I think the food has come,” said Riko rather lazy.
“Haaa?”
Fuurin tilted her head, not really understanding what that meant.
“Ah come, I have something for you,” said Fuurin who looked happy.
“Something? whatan?”
“This is for you, please see first.”
Fuurin thrust out a book for Riko. Judging from the cover, it seems that it is not an ordinary book like the one on the market.
Riko began to open every page after page, he frowned slightly.
‘This book seems to be manual, judging by the type of paper, this may have been a very long time, ' he thought.
“This?”
“That's my grandfather's book, I used to ask him to translate it into Indonesian,” Fuurin said casually.
“Wah ... it's worth it it looks very classic.”
“Iya, so it is.”
“You gave it to me?” ask Riko to make sure.
“Iya, that's for you,” replied Fuurin briefly .
“Then, how are you?”
“Quiet ... I still have others.”
“Oh, alright! then, thank you yes.”
“Ready, just relax.”
After their conversation was over, Andi immediately invited Fuurin to join together.
“OK, you're done, right? now, please sit down first Miss Fuurin, let's discuss together about it.”
“Ready!! kaichou ..”.
They sit together while talking about missions and exercises, because before the mission is carried out, they need special training first to prepare themselves and the defense of each individual.
In that case, Riko is not included in the person who will carry out the mission. However, he still followed the advice and input of his chairman, because one day he would definitely need it as well.
Shortly after, the other seniors had finally arrived there with some kind of food. Riko was back beaming, understandably because in fact he was also starving enough just to hear various explanations given by the chairman Andi.
“Time to eat!”
They began to rush to serve the food on the club table. Eating together this time looks quite festive, they are also more friendly than ever and provide more opportunities for Riko.
Riko did feel a little happier because of the food. However, he also felt unworthy when he was there. If you think back, how his life before today, of course this will only be like a show.
Although in the crowd he still felt lonely, it felt like this joy was not directed at him.
Instantly he stopped his activities, then stood up while giving respect and thanks. Thanks for today and the food too, I still have business, so just get here if you'll excuse me, Riko said before leaving the club.
Everyone at the club was astonished by Riko's easily fickle attitude and mood.
“Hei ... why is he? how grim again? is there anything that might accidentally offend him?” ask Ruri for confusion.
“Have it, just ignore it! he is ordinary like that, later also back to normal,” interrupted Andi.
“Umm ... Riko is like that, don't worry, she will be fine.”
Their activities were resumed. While Riko, he was still wandering around outside while looking for fresh air. His empty feeling came back, perhaps something had reminded him of today's events.
‘If that day had never come, surely I would never think about it again, Riko's inner’ was empty.
The wind was blowing calmly, it felt like for a long time he did not feel the sensation of this season. However, while walking in the corridor behind the school, suddenly the direction of the wind changed, this gripping feeling was the same as before, he also recalled that he should not let his guard down until the shadow affected his emotions.
He remains ready and alert. This time it was an illusion, an endless wall capturing and locking him into an endless world.
Inside there he continued to struggle against endless illusions. All the memories of the past came back to haunt him, the feeling of stress filled his head, he understood that it was just an illusion of darkness in his heart. However, still he could not defeat even something that came from himself.
The dark aura continued to permeate his heart and rule over his entire body. Riko is still struggling, he does not want to be defeated just by this kind of thing, he continues to thrash and hit all objects, whether real or illusory, dusty mind has closed all his common sense.
“Keet you fucking creature! until when did you just hide with this illusion of trash, I wasn't afraid of you, hahahaha.”
Riko was just rampaging without direction, in order to destroy this entire illusory city while laughing with tears of hatred.
AHAHAHA ....
Shortly after, Jiu's mark spread again and strangled her head. He fell, the pain was so painful that he slowly regained his senses. The fear of his incompetence made him feel regret for having lived in this world.
He did not know what to do, even though his consciousness had returned. However, defeating the demonic illusion was something that was extremely impossible for him.
Riko sat pensively until suddenly everything went dark. In the darkness he heard a familiar voice in his ears. No matter where he had heard it, the feeling again tormented him.
“Whatever happens, you have to stay alive, maybe I have no right to say this, but please forgive my incompetence .. despite loving you so much but I can never do much.”
A pair of hands and a mysterious figure came hugging while closing Riko's eyes, then whispered back in her ear.
“You can't die here.”
.
.
“Riko!”
“Hey, Riko ... did you hear me?”
“Wake up! what's wrong with you.”
Riko started hearing the commotion around her. Slowly he opened his eyes and found many people beside him, they were Fuurin and some other club colleagues.
When he saw Riko who had begun to realize, Fuurin immediately shouted happily while hugging him tightly.
Shortly afterwards Andi came over and ran to where the others were gathered.
“How is the chairman, did you manage to catch him?” ask Ruri.
“Honey once, the creature got away.”
Riko again remembered what had happened to him earlier, so he immediately rose to ask about the creature that had just attacked him.
“Chairman, that creature earlier ...”
“That Nightmare Demon or dream illusion demon, this demon is among some of the most difficult to overcome, if you are already trapped in the illusion, then you will find it difficult to get out of there, since they always attack the weakest part of your memories, maybe you will be able to survive if someone saves you from the outside,” explained Andi.
“So so, then ... did you save me earlier?” ask Riko curiously.
“Not! I don't know, because when I came, the demon illusion was destroyed, then before you realized, I had time to chase the demon, but it's a pity that he had managed to escape,” Andi reply seriously.
“Then who saved me? shit ... I really can't remember,” muttered Riko who looked a bit disappointed.
“Already, leave aside first about it, now let's go back to the club, you need to calm yourself,” said Andi who was quite sympathetic.
“Good.”
They immediately rushed over and helped Riko up and escorted him back to the clubroom.
Andi had looked back before continuing his journey, he was still curious, who had helped Riko earlier? He also thought, whoever it is, of course he has spiritual power that cannot be underestimated.
