The Another Soul
Ch. 78 [Together]

"I don't have a name."

Whahuh?

"You.... Don't have a name?" Ask Sergio to make sure.

The person before him nodded "Ironi, didn't he?"

Sergio shook his head slowly "No. What are you usually called?"

The man said, "Don't know."

"Huh?"

He sighed harshly "I don't know because no one has called me yet."

"You're kidding me!"

With a lazy look, he looked at Sergio who was staring at him with a surprised look. "I'm serious."

I don't even remember anything, with a sad smile.

He had no name and was alone in this forest. Sergio couldn't imagine it.

Then Sergio remembered one thing. Sergio looked at the person seriously "Are you the one who has been watching the three of us since I entered this forest?"

The man chuckled "I thought you could feel it."

He admitted it, thought Sergio.

If he admits it. There was only one person who took a serious look at himself. Even Sergio can still feel it now.

"alright. You have admitted it. Now, there's something more important."

"Hm? What'sthat?"

Sergio held his stomach "I'm hungry."

"Eh?"

"Bahhh... Pretty exhausting!"

Sergio lay on the grass feeling tired. At this time he was on the riverbank, and on his left hand there were three fish that he got hard.

It was difficult because his right hand was still unable to move. Actually only part of the elbow until the fingers Sergio could not move it.

"Hm... Just three."

Sergio listened to the tone of ridicule from this new friend.

Oh yea. Because Sergio is confused who he wants to call, in the end Sergio determines a nickname for people he just knows.

Namely, Val.

Val, just three letters. Easy to remember and easy to say.

Of course, Sergio's new friend agreed. He did not mind, the important thing is that he agreed than the stranger he had just met in one day was confused.

"It's my hard work!" Sergio said it with a proud tone.

Val smiled mockingly. He raised his left hand. Look at a bunch of fish moving. If counted there may be 10 fish.

Seeing that, Sergio became annoyed.

"All right, arrogant sir. I lost."

Val frowned, "We never bet."

"indeed not. But deep down in my heart - I feel defeated."

Unable to stare at Sergio with a feeling of confusion, Val looked at Sergio strangely. "Is there anyone who says you're overreacting, huh?"

Good, he thinks you're weird. Whether the achievement is good or bad, inner Sergio with sad rarity.

Sergio stood up from his lie down. He cleaned his checkered shirt out of the sand "You were the first to say that."

"Oh, I'm flattered."

"Uhm. It's good that you're flattered, nahh... Since you're already flattered, better make us fire and start cooking. My stomach has rung" Sergio patted his stomach several times.

Val is starting to get new facts. Not only was this person in front of him an exaggerated person, but also one whose shamed veins had already broken off.

But, when he saw Sergio's right hand, he tried to impeach him.

Not good especially this Val.

"Wait a minute."

Sergio nodded happily. He again sat on the grass with a view that led to a calm river flow. Even he could see some fish because of the clear water.

Too quiet, thought Sergio.

He thought this calm was strange. From what he heard, Silvam forest was famous for its ferocious monsters.

But these?

"Do you think it's too quiet here?"

Looking at him quickly, Sergio looked at Val who was busy making a pile of fallen wooden branches. Afterwards Val swiped both stones several times until a fire was created that burned the twigs.

"How do you know my mind?"

Yeah, how could I know? Val was confused as well.

"From your face saying that" Val said a lie.

Sergio chuckled "What when daydreaming do you have an expression, huh?"

"Er... No?" val is doubtful.

Sergio stood up, he approached the small bonfire that felt warm. "That's right. So there's no way you'd know my thoughts through facial expressions." Sergio sat down and gave Val his three fish.

Val's face seemed to say 'What is this?'

Sergio squeaked, "Curried. I can't stick my fish on the wood. That's all you don't understand."

"You just have to ask for help. What's difficult?" even if you say it like that. Val receives Sergio's fish and starts thrusting into the wood whose tip looks pointed.

"I want to ask while waiting for our fish to cook."

"What do you mean that my hand is absorbing energy that is not of this world?"

Val breathed a tired sigh. "No other questions."

"I'm sorry, but my curiosity is just about that" Sergio said without regret.

All right, Val's giving up. "Do you know that every continent has only one energy."

Sergio shook his head. He just heard it today.

"For example, this continent of Fina we inhabit. This continent has only one energy. It's magic. Of course the residents living on this continent could only use magic energy."

Sergio's surprised. If what Val says is true, it means me... The continent of Fina?

Sergio shook his head loudly, rejecting thoughts that were too ambiguous for him.

It seems he needs to ask Rakka, Orga, or Fahrez.

Speaking of the three of them. Sergio felt that the three of them were not looking for him.

See, until noon he found no signs of the three maids appearing.

Are they dead, huh? Inner Sergio.

Very good thinking. If Orga hears what Sergio thinks, it is certain that Sergio will undergo hell training once again.

The three different servants of the race died easily just because of the keroco-keroco called monsters?

A very funny thing. The three of them were true monsters.

"Now I'm asking."

Sergio is back in the real world. He looked at Val seriously.

"Do you know me?"

"Huh?"

Know Val? Honestly, Sergio just woke up in the morning and just saw the wait.

Sergio watched every inch of Val's face. The hair, eyes, jaw, and nose were all Sergio noticed.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Val shuddered in horror at the sight Sergio hang looked like he wanted to eat it.

"No, I just feel like I've seen you. But I forgot."

Val froze, ever see me?

Val laughs "You're lying."

"Yes." Yeah."

Val was disappointed to hear that. Earlier he felt he saw some hope from Sergio's response.

"Yes, yes, maybe not. I told you I forgot" Sergio explained.

A right cross appeared on Val's forehead. He felt annoyed just by Sergio's words that felt light.

"Okay, I asked again."

Val grunting. He began to arrange the fish near the campfire to cook and can be eaten.

"Do you know where this energy that inhabits my right hand comes from?"

Val glanced at Sergio "Yes right hand. I know."

Instantly curiosity filled his heart. He really felt curious.

"Then?"

Val was still staring at Sergio's right hand which was silent. Then the bright brown netra looked at Sergio right at those black eyes.

"I'm not sure but..."

"What?"

".... Your sword comes from three different energies. And I don't understand either."

"Hmm? How come?"

"Because your sword comes from the Energy of the Human world, the upper and lower worlds."

Sergio's surprised. "W-what? World below? Upper World?"

Val rolled both his eyes, puffed up. "More easily" Val pointed up with his index finger "Heaven and..." Val points down "Hell. Understood?"
