...🍃Paradise : Stand By Me 🍃...
...Part I: What is a world without war and magic like?...
What is a world without war? What would the world be like if humans did not know what magic was? That question always crossed Mirai's mind. If the world really existed. Would a world without magic be as beautiful as heaven?
A place without war is heaven, he said. A world where he may live a happy life with Dad, and know how warm the affection of a mother that he has not even had time to feel since his presence in this world. Mirai was curious about that. Even when the 3rd Three Pillars stone he had already obtained, could the power of the stone dubbed as 'Absolute Knowledge' about that World give him an answer?
" The 3rd Pillar Stone. If you really know anything about Dunua. Can you show me what a world without war and magic is for me? Even if it's only a day, I want to feel like living in a world like that!"
......................
Mirai felt the situation around her was so pitch-black. Amidst the darkness surrounding him, Mirai could feel his body shaking violently. The sensation was like a high-speed horse carriage as if escaping his body. What exactly is going on?
Kreeett....
Bruckkk....
The carriage suddenly stopped in unison with a throbbing sound screeching the ears. Mirai's body even had a chance to hit something in front there. Mirai tried to open her eyes, she faintly saw a man looking at her with a worried look. The man was seen wearing a strange uniform, complete with various colorful chips filled his suit (Down of Army Commander)
"Mirai are you okay? Forgive me, the car in front of us suddenly stopped suddenly. " Kizuna without worrying about her daughter's condition, with an anxious look on her face she noticed Mirai's dazed face
" What's up Mirai? Why is your face so pale? Is your head hurt? Ow hell! How'this? You just recovered from your injury! Because of dad's carelessness you might feel pain again? " Kizuna continued to shower Mirai with worried words.
Where is this? Why am I on this weird train? So what's wrong with the clothes I'm wearing? It's not like the Military kimono I used to wear! This outfit is a little weird.
Mirai looked at her confused self. He had touched his high school uniform he thought was strange. Mirai recalled the incident that happened to her. Just a moment ago he was just sitting in the forest waiting for Nee and Zou. Bored, he discovered the 3rd Pillar stone he had found in the Yokai world.
Curious about the power of the stone, Mirai made a random request that just appeared in her brain. Only until there is his memory. He looked around him, a strange city with towering buildings and a noise coming out of the iron chariot he was riding. All visible from behind the transparent glass beside it. Where is he really now?
"Where is this? " murm Mirai slowly. Kizuna opened her car door, and immediately checked Mirai on the passenger seat with a worried look
" Where else? We've reached your school. Mirai is okay, right? Well how is this? The doctor said you'd be fine. Do I have to call the hospital again? " Kizuna just kept blabbing indistinctly.
Meanwhile, Mirai only realized who was so noisy earlier. Although that guy's clothes were quite strange according to him. Mirai realizes that the man in front of her is her father, Kizuna
" A-dad? " mirai said with a trembling voice. Kizuna immediately held onto Mirai's shoulder.
" Eh. Daddy's here. Are you okay, Mirai? "
Mirai nodded, she could not hold back her tears anymore. Even though he was trapped in an illusionary world, he felt happy to see his father again. Mirai extended her hand, hugging her father's body tightly. The smell and warmth of his father did not change. Right, this feeling that Mirai had so long missed
"I-I really miss you Dad! " said Mirai while sobbing
" What do you mean? We're always together. I even had time to cook your favorite breakfast! You're really weird Mirai.
You'll usually get angry if you treat you like a kid. Because of your mom and dad, you're always alone. You rarely even talk to dad. But look at this potent attitude of yours? Hahaha" Kizuna said as she chuckled softly.
School bell rings. Kizuna immediately let go of her daughter's embrace and reached for her hand to get off her fancy car. Slowly, Kizuna stroked Mirai's shoulder.
Occasionally he justifies the uniform ribbon his only daughter wears. A name tag is embedded in Mirai's left chest, a tag with the name 'Yuki Mirai' without being so compatible with her school's spring uniform.
"As usual. Dad's daughter is always pretty in school uniform! Well, hurry. Your school bell has rung! " kizuna said with a big smile. Although heavy, he took off the grip of his daughter's small hand which continued to hold tightly to his arm
" Where are you going? Please stay with me! " Pinta Mirai, he was even reluctant to take off his father's grasp. Kizuna could only chuckle, as she gently poked her daughter's forehead
" Geez, what's wrong with your attitude? You're so spoiled Mirai. You have to go to school, and I have to go pick up your mom at the airport! You forget, your mother came home today from her business trip? "
" mother? Is my mom still around? " Mirai's eyes are perfectly rounded. Can he see his mother in this strange world?
" Hey! Naughty princesses! Your mother only left for a few days because of business. Why do you say as if your mother went far away anyway! Ckck! " Kizuna shook her head, she was so astonished by her daughter's suddenly strange demeanor. Kizuna immediately rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, glancing at the watch in her hand.
" Aish! Dad's late! It was Mirai. I'll pick you up with your mother! Enjoy your day, my daughter! Study hard, and don't make trouble! Daddy go first! I love you, Mirai! "
Kizuna kissed her daughter's forehead, she got into the car and prepared to leave. Mirai, who is still frozen, begins to realize that her father wants to leave her.
" Dad! Don't leave! " Mirai's last memories with her father again filled Mirai's mind. Just like this time, his father said he would come to pick him up. But none of that ever happened, right in front of his eyes his father breathed his last. The moment Mirai always regretted, if she could go back to that moment, Mirai wanted to stop her father from leaving her side.
The second chance seemed to come at this moment. Quickly, Mirai banged on the car door and asked her father not to leave her again. Mirai was afraid that the incident would happen again
"Let me come with you, Dad! I-I also want to see my mother's face! " said Mirai with a pleading face. Kizuna lowered her car glass, she was a little surprised by her daughter's strange attitude. But the thought was immediately Kizuna tepis, she then smiled towards Mirai while saying words that could make her daughter calm down
"Dad just went for a minute. I promise you, I'll pick you up after all my business is done! Okey? " said Kizuna quietly. He immediately started the engine of his car and passed leaving Mirai still riveted
Again, I heard Dad say those words. That time (when Mirai was little) I probably believed him. Dad must have picked me up. But can I now hold on to my father's words? Will he really come back to pick me up at this place?
......................
...Part II: A World Without Magic really exists!...
After the departure of her father, Mirai decided to enter the spacious courtyard of a magnificent building in front of her. The building was probably four times as large as the Sora Village Office. Mirai noticed the surrounding situation, many children her age wore the exact same clothes and walked towards the magnificent building in front of her.
What world is this?
Mirai's brows twinkled slightly, she felt uncomfortable wearing this short skirt. Not only that, he also wore a very tight shirt complete with a suit that is no less narrow. The clothes were designed to follow the curves of his body. Mirai admitted that the clothes she was wearing looked beautiful and feminine, plus a beautiful ribbon as a decoration on her neck. But what if the enemy suddenly attacked? He was certainly not free to move around with such clothes. Especially with the heels he is wearing right now
"Why do people wear clothes like this. I don't carry a gun at all. What if the enemy attacks. Am I still - "
Mirai stopped her words. He realized there was no Gyoku symbol in his hand. What does it mean, he can't use magic in this world? Lothawat!
" My gyoku symbol in my arms is gone! "
" Mirai! You're cured! " said Hanna suddenly patted her shoulder. Mirai immediately turned around. He was relieved, at least in this strange world he could still meet his friends.
" Hanna? Huh! I'm glad to see you! Wait a minute, Rou and Ten are also in this World? " mirai said as he pointed at Rou and Ten.
Mirai's friends are still exactly the same, but what distinguishes them is of course how to dress them. Ten and Rou were not wearing typical Military Sora uniforms, they looked much different.
Hanna was wearing a uniform exactly like her. While Rou and Ten, wearing matching uniforms but impressed to follow the style of boys. Shirts, alma mater suits and contemporary shoes. They look fashionable with the branded items they wear
"Of course we exist! Hey Mirai, don't tell me falling off a horse causes your brain problems! We told you extracurricular horse riding is dangerous!
There are still ballet lessons, piano, theater, broadcaster, Golf or Tennis! Why did you choose the horse race?! " say Rou
" Horse Race? " murm Mirai did not understand
" Shut up! According to the doctor, Mirai was a little confused due to an injury to her head! Alright Mirai, I Hanna will explain anything that confuses you! You don't have to worry, okay? "
Hanna immediately rests on Mirai's arm, taking her around the sprawling school environment. Leaving Rou and Ten still frozen, astonished by Mirai's attitude
" Hanna, where are we really? This isn't a magic world, is it? " said Mirai who felt unfamiliar with the vast park environment where she and Hanna were walking around
" Emm... Looks like your brain injury is severe Mirai. All righty! I'll start explaining everything about your friends, school and even your family! But on one condition! Let me read your novel! Hows it? " Dawar Hanna with sparkling eyes
" novels? Whatchu mean? " Hanna just sighed softly while pointing at the Note Book in Mirai's hand.
" Let me read it! Your work is amazing! The story of the land of magic that makes me feel at home reading it! You're a great writer. " Mirai doesn't understand Hanna's words. And also since when the strange object in the shape of the board was in his hands. The writer? He never even got close to paper and ink
" All right! Whatever you want. But you have to explain everything to me! "
Hanna started to drift slowly. He also pointed to a large monument that read 'Sora National High School' not far from where it stands
" You're at a super elite school in Sora State right now. The Sora National High School. Only 5% of the upper class can afford to go to school here. The super exclusive facilities and luxury offered are the best in the world. Not only that the people who are in school here also come from backgrounds that are not playing games! “
Hanna invites Mirai to sit on one of the park benches nearby. Mirai looked at the surrounding environment. Beautiful and beautiful garden, contains a super large fountain in the middle of the square. He understood why the place was likely inhabited by rich people only
"You have to remember one thing Mirai. In this school, the students are divided into 2 groups according to their social status. The noble clans as well as the Muggle Clan "
muggles: find non-magic humans in Harry Pother-Series
" Muggles? What kind of creature is that? " mirai said completely unaware of Hanna's intentions.
Hanna could only sigh deeply "Whether you want to mock or not. I will explain everything to be able to read your novel! "
Hanna pointed at the row of students who were busy studying in the central park. Within the group were also Ten and Rou. Mirai also noticed that women similar to Tsuyu, Kazumi and Yuri were also among the children
" They are from Muggle parts, which means they became rich because of a position that his parents got. Their parents are from among politicians, prosecutors, doctors, celebrity children or even the president's son. In essence their father served the community and got wealth from there.
Many of them are not rich from birth. They were called Muggles. Half noble blood! Because my mother's father is only a congressman (a type of DPR) I also belong to the Muggle class at this school! " say Hanna softly
" Then who belongs to the noble Clan? " said Mirai curiously. He wondered that the world was even more complicated than his world
" The noble clan in this School is also divided into two parts. Heirs and Co-Heirs! “
"What else is that?! "
" Heirs is a term for people who will inherit the family business directly. While Co-Heirs, they're rich kids who don't need to do much, but stay rich with the stock they're going to inherit. "
Hanna pointed towards the school gate. Rows of luxury sports cars began to enter the school environment. Cars of different colors, one by one began to be parked in the spacious school yard. One by one the handsome and fashionable young men came out of the car. Each car was filled with two people and they were greeted with Hysterical shouts of the girls
"They're nicknamed the Sora boys squad! Heir and Heir companion of giant enterprises in the country. Those who belonged to the noble Clan faction who came from a distinguished family background. Their parents owned a group of companies that controlled almost every economy in the world. Their wealth is not even countless.
Let's take a look! Start from there. "
Hanna refers to two young men with red hair who came out of a matching colored Sport car. One calm and calm-faced young man was seen wearing a backpack on his shoulder. Another similar man came out of the car, in contrast to his cousin, he was more impressed cute and installment.
"Sport cars are red, they are the heirs of Tsuki Group engaged in transportation, oil and gold mining. The heir to their power is Hisui, a calm man who just got out of the car. While the heir to his companion is Hirui, a cute-faced man with the nickname Tomato chatty. They are very different cousins when it comes to personality. "
Mirai also directed her gaze towards Hisui and Zou. He did not expect, the two people who he thought were exactly the same were actually cousins in this world (Mirai did not know in the world of Magic Zou and Hisui father and son). Mirai could only shake her head in wonder.
Hanna pointed back to the blue car. Two men who were so similar, with pale blue hair as well as ocean-deep blue eyes came out from inside the car.
Their charm could not be hidden, only with a thin smile they were able to make the other schoolgirls cry hysterically. The man looked like Nee, looking so calm looking around him. Putting his hands into his pants pocket, while walking straight regardless of the girls dodging his name. While the sister, just follow where her brother steps.
"And then the handsome men who came out of the blue Sport car. They are the heirs of the Hoshi Group which controls the Tourism sector as well as the famous seafood processed. Just so you know Mirai, recently their father just bought some private island just to separate the two brothers who always stick like glue. Hotaru was very fond of Hikari. But Hikari had no intention of continuing the family business and chose a simple life by running a veterinary clinic business.
"Then what about the student who got out of the black carriage? " Mirai's gaze was blank. He did not believe, that person was also in this world. Hanna follows where Mirai's view is
Two men got out of the Black sports car. Their gazes were so sharp with firm faces. One of the gray-haired students who was defying gravity started to open the black mask that covered his face. Smiling softly, he glanced towards his twin brother and walked in tandem.
" huh? The train? You mean Black Sport Car? They are Aora and Yora. Two twin brothers who each inherited both the giant company of his father and mother. Sun Group and Moon Group. They are the most famous in this school. All lines of life used by humans are produced by their second company. Real estate, infestations, start ups and much more!
One group is in power. Because of the marriage of his parents, the giant group joined and made the two born with a golden spoon! No, I can say diamond spoon!
However, strangely their attitude was very opposite. Yora is a student who is ranked one general throughout the semester. He was a friendly man, but coldly impressed. His brother, Aora. He's 100% a slacker! "
" Slackers you say? " said Mirai, it seems she knows Hanna's mascud
" You know Aora better than anyone Mirai. She prefers to sleep during class. She is the 301st of 200 students at the school. Isn't that impossible? I admit, only Aora is capable! "
Mirai smiled softly, at least Aora and Yora's lives in this world were not filled with tragedy. They were not hostile, there was no blood on their hands. Mirai is glad they grew like flowers in a greenhouse.
" Then what about me? What social class do I have in this world? Muggle, nobleman or Yokai? Ahaha! " said Mirai of origin. However, he did not care about the level that people gave. Meeting her father was more than enough!
" You're not the second part" Hanna said slowly. Mirai sighed in relief, at least he did not need to interfere in this 'caste' affair
"You have everything. You're the heir to the Yuki Group and the son of a Great Army General! Your mother's medical company even mastered all areas of advanced medicine! You're also the owner of the Sora foundation that houses Mirai's school! "
" What?! I am the owner of this school?! "
......................
Part III: What does Mirai live like in this world?
Mirai stood sculpting right in front of the class. Honestly, this was the first time Mirai had entered a study. During this time, he only spent time studying with the help of his father. Their life changes, causing Mirai to have no chance of studying at a Magic academy. But, it seems Mirai's life in this world is inversely proportional. It has incredible facilities. School, nice clothes, great family, everything he had. It was just that he was astonished, when Mirai entered one of the classes. Why is all the attention on him?
Mirai directed her gaze towards Hanna, who was already sitting in that classroom. Hanna just patted her head softly, Mirai was astonished. Did he make a mistake?
Everyone whispered softly, while directing astonished gazes towards Mirai.
"Why did he get into this class? "
" I don't know. I was with him injured recently. Maybe that's why" whispered all the students in the class. One of the students finally opened his mouth
"Hey Mirai! Why did you get into this class? Your room is in the Royal Clash room! "
Mirai furrowed her brows, what other terms was that. " Ro-ro what?! "
" Mirai you're here apparently! " said a man who immediately pulled Mirai's hand. Hotaru, I don't know since when that guy got into class. All the students in the class were made boisterous because of his arrival
" Hotaru? "
" Your class is not here! Come with me upstairs! " hotaru said as he embraced Mirai. The black-haired girl as far as it could only follow where Hotaru was taking her.
" Hey! Where you mae took me! Hotaru! "
Hotaru pulls Mirai in her embrace, leading her to a special elevator to the top of the building. Inside the elevator, Hirui and Hisui were waiting. They told Hotaru and Mirai to enter with a glance.
" you? What space is this! "
" go inside! "
Mirai hesitates why Hotaru told her to go into the stuffy room without the vent. The elevator door closed, making Mirai more parno and intend to get out of there
"Hey! Weird magic traps us in this stuffy room! We gotta get out of here! Wait what else! Hurry along! " Shouted Mirai Hysteris while banging on the door. Hotaru was just staring strangely at Mirai
" witchcraft? " murm Hisui wonder
" What's wrong with you? We just entered the elevator. Mirai, are you still sick? And again, magic? You watch too many Fantasy series! You even combined the real world with the world of Harry pother!" hotaru said as she checked Mirai's forehead and rubbed Mirai's cheek. But Hisui's big hand reached for Mirai's arm. Interestingly, until the slender body landed in his arms
" Mirai has a strange feeling about being near a playboy like you Hotaru! He better be by my side for his safety! " hisui said.
He changes Mirai's standing position and begins to keep her away from Hotaru. Mirai now felt a little safe standing right next to the tall red-haired man. At least Hisui's a little normal. But his eyes were still narrowed, what was the matter with all these people?
"Damn! You always took Mirai from me Hisui! You're not satisfied yet, your company's share price went down because my father revoked his investment? " hotaru said a little annoyed. He also pressed the elevator button in front of him original.
" We do not need investment from Hoshi Group" said Hisui casually. They look like enemies, even the way they look at each other is cold.
" Cih! What's wrong with these two guys! At the meeting of the Third Country they seem to get along! Waitaminute! Room's moving! Whaa! "
Mirai sensed the room she was in on began to move strangely. His body was no longer balanced, without being able to reach anything as a pedestal. Mirai's body finally fell backwards
A hand swiftly caught Mirai's body. He looked at the person who helped him. Hirui, with a big smile supported Mirai's body that was about to fall back.
"Hei Mirai, watch your steps. If I hadn't caught your body, you would have been hurt again. "
" Y-you Zou! "
" Zou's? Who'sis that? Oho! One over. There's something on your shoulder! " hirui said as she picked up a small piece of thread on Mirai's shoulder. The pale purple iris exchanged glances with Hazel Hirui's iris
" Hey! What are you doing, Zou! "
Mirai immediately stood up. While fixing his clothes, he disguised his awkwardness by looking the other way. He knew the man behind him was Zou. But somehow, the man's attitude was so different.
" You Three! " cried Mirai loudly. His voice had even stopped the war of stares between Hotaru and Hisui
" If you dare to do anything weird to me again! I'll make sure you freeze your bodies with my ice magic. And you're Hotaru! If you dare tease me again! Your soul I'll suck until I'm not left alone! COPY THAT! " Mirai looked at the three men who were sculpting in front of him with murderous gazes.
" Well M-mirai. Forgive us" said the three compactly while bowing
"Curtain! You're all really weird! "
The elevator door was finally wide open. Quickly, Mirai immediately left the three men and headed towards the only room on the floor.
" wait? Who is weird! Mirai who was always quiet and calm. Why turn violent and bar-bar like that?! " hotaru said astonished at Mirai's change in attitude
" Maybe the red date is coming? " said Hirui of origin. The three of them just exchanged glances, while raising their shoulders a sign of not understanding.
Without thinking, Mirai opened the big door in front of him and found a spacious room with various foreign facilities, he said
Large and luxurious room. There are a variety of virtual and manual games. Not only that, a special study room consisting of 6 tables becomes the center of the room.
On each side of the room, there are different rooms with the characteristics of each room owner. Private libraries, playgrounds, lounge areas as well as a small bar set filled with food and drinks.
Mirai stared at the astonishment of the room, as she walked slowly she began to enter the room.
"You're coming, Mirai. Come here, stone I taste my food creations. "
In one of the chambers, Hikari with an apron wrapped around her uniformed body began to approach Mirai. He brought a plate of strawberry chocolate and offered Mirai to taste it
Mirai slightly glanced doubtfully towards Hikari. He began to reach the chocolate that was arranged beautifully on a plate. For the first time, Mirai tried foreign foods that looked like dried mud
"Hmmm.... So yummy. L like it! " said Mirai with a gentle smile.
" really? You're not wrong? Inside the chocolate is the strawberry! "
Hikari was seen frozen, while looking at Mirai with a hard-to-understand look. However, a second later a warm smile was engraved on his face
" Thank God you liked it. You wait there, I'll wrap it up for you to take home" Hikari said as she left.
"Hm... All righty! "
Mirai decided to go around in the room. He approached a row of executive chairs containing the names of each member of the Sora Boys. Mata Mirai found something else, it turned out that her name was also registered in their membership. She may be the only woman with a chair in the room.
"How's your body doing, Mirai? " said a man who came out of his private library. Eyes as dark as night in the frame or thin glasses. Making Yora's cold face more enchanting with the appearance of a cool nerd style
His night-dark eyes stared fixedly at Mirai's face. The girl seemed silent for a moment, she did not expect that Xio was also in this world
" You're Leader here too? No, I mean Xio. No. gabe... No. gabe.. I mean, Yora "Mirai was clumsy to call Yora's name.
The dark-eyed man began to approach and chose to sit leaning against Mirai's desk. He immediately took off his suit and attached it to Mirai's back.
" Summer has just arrived. The air outside is still very cold. You have to take care of your body. "
Not only that, Yora also installed her Hearphone, and made Mirai listen to classical music that is so beautiful. Yora pulled Mirai gently, directing the girl to sit leaning against a chair of hers that was super comfortable
" I've asked the teacher to cancel the class for today. You can rest here for a while. Oh yea! I also gave you a gift for your recovery! Open it. "said Yora while giving Mirai a thick foreign-hurred book.
Mirai opened the contents of the book, not a single strange writing in the book that he could read. To get rid of suspicion, Mirai dodged the reason she would read it when she got home
" I'll read it later. Thank you, Yora, " said Mirai doubtfully.
Yora just knitted her brows, she looked astonished. Mirai started to get nervous, did she make a mistake?
" Is something wrong? "
“Nothing. You can spend some time relaxing for a moment. This music will help you calm your mind, Mirai." said Yora softly.
Mirai nodded in understanding. Undeniably, the music she heard was so beautiful that it made her feel so comfortable.
"Everyone I've met. But where is he now? "
However, there was someone he had yet to meet in this world. Mirai turned her gaze to the entire room. He could not find the figure of the owner of gray hair anywhere. Mirai has met everyone, So where did Aora go?
