...🍃Paradise : Stand By Me 🍃...
...Chapter IV: In a Land without War, evil remains....
Audience cheers filled the sports arena that was on the ground floor of the building. All sides gathered in one place, they were very enthusiastic to see the basketball game that was going on exciting.
Almost all the students who watched the game supported the team consisting of Sora Boys children. With their long legs, Yora and her comrades looked agile dribbling the ball and putting it into the opponent's basket. Each of the schoolgirls shouted their idol's name, laughing merrily as they leaped in excitement.
Mirai who had been sitting in the front bench, could only sigh boredly. Indeed, he admitted Hotaru and the others looked dazzling with the numerical uniforms they wore. But, what to get one ball?
"Say they are rich. Why fight over one ball! The ball is made of gold! Hah, I don't understand this world at all. "murm Mirai softly while linking her hands in front of her chest
" Look! Captain Aora has arrived! " hysterically shouted one of the students. Hearing Aora's words, Mirai immediately turned her gaze towards the main door of the stadium. Mirai's eyes trembled, finally he saw the Aora vesi of this world
With her eyes closed, Aora entered the arena of the match. He opened the mask that covered half of his face. He did not at all glorify the cries of the students who called his name. While yawning, he glanced right at the direction Mirai was in. Mirai gasped in shock, as the gray-haired man smiled broadly at Mirai. Dimples are clearly visible adorning her thin cheeks, while Aora's eyes are closed and form a crescent moon - eye smile
Player exchanges. Aora entered the area, while Hisui came out and chose to sit beside Mirai. The cheer watching grew, as Aora took over the game and scored the first minute she played
"He was a slacker. But in the basketball arena, he's a great captain " murmured Hisui as if answering a question in Mirai's mind. He reached into the bottle in front of him and swallowed it quickly
" You haven't made your choice, have you, Mirai? From the six of us, who would you choose "Sheui said softly. It was as if he was waiting for an answer from Mirai
" choose? Whatchu mean? "
" The choice as to who of us is entitled to you. You can choose one of us, and tell your parents to cooperate with our company. Isn't the relationship between children like us, always related to the parent business? " said Hisui with a warm smile.
" Stop your bullshit. I'll go first! " said Mirai as she passed away.
Hisui just stared at the back of the girl who started to disappear in the crowd. A faint smile was pinned on his face, while leaning on his body, Hisui took out a small towel to wipe the sweat on his face
" Well, right, guys. Mirai was acting too strange. In that situation, he should have answered one person as a choice for the rest of his life! "
Mirai walked hurriedly out of the stadium. While grabbing onto his shoulder-length black hair, he looked frustrated. When did he get caught up in this strange world?
" Aish! I can't take it anymore! Until when do I have to face the strange attitude of my friends! Choose between them? Didn't they all already have a special person in their hearts!
This world is turning with my world. There is no war or magic! But the social status they pegged to based on wealth made me even crazier!"
Mirai walked towards the elevator, she was about to return to the upper room and think of a way to return to the land of Magic. However, in front of the door of Elevator Mirai could only be pensive while hitting her forehead
"yes too! I don't know how to operate this thing! Aish, should I ask Hisui for help? " Mirai's gaze swept out in all directions, he wished that someone was passing by and would help him to go to the other side. But there is no one
" Huh! At a time like this, I miss the magic power in my body. I can switch places at will with teleportation magic. I also miss fighting with my own strength.
It seemed, Mirai's body in this world was not well trained. Look at this skinny body without muscles! Huh! " Mirai leaned her body against the wall.
He looked straight at his right palm. His gyoku symbol used to look beautiful in his hands
" I'd better get on the stairs! "
Just as Mirai was starting to leave, someone from behind smothered his mouth and nose. The medicine contained in the handkerchief made Mirai feel sleepy. He eventually fell unconscious and let two foreign men carry his body.
Darkened. Mirai felt her body shivering in coldness. Samar, he heard the voices of some men. His eyes were covered with a black cloth. For some reason, past memories of the Red Cops members' captivity flashed back in his mind. Mirai's hands wriggled, trying to untie the bonds that ensnared her body, hands and feet. In this situation, he realized that magic was important.
"Who are you! Quickly let go of me! " snapping Mirai.
The men began to take off the heat that closed their eyes. Now, Mirai could clearly see the face of the people who dared to kidnap her. The group of strong-bodied men surrounded while grinning evilly. Mirai felt herself to be a prey among those people
In an abandoned warehouse, they shut Mirai up by tying her to a chair in front of a bonfire.
Mirai stared intently at the male sangar in front of her. Not a hint of fear on his face. For Mirai, without magic, he could defeat the men in front of him easily. But still he could not do much when his hands and feet were tied
"What do you want! If you dare, untie me in my hand and face me! "
Everyone in the room laughed out loud " Hey! Young miss! Are you sure you can beat us with just that weak body of yours?
You'd better call your rich parents soon. Tell them to send cash immediately and redeem their precious daughter's life!"
The man handed me a cell phone. And ask Mirai to call her father and mother. The man also handed him a paper that read a number with many zeros behind it. Mirai just furrowed her brows. He wondered why the pira gave him a small box with light coming out of his container.
"Hey! What strange things you give me! If you want to call someone. You must give an eagle a message! " said Mirai innocently. The man with the rogue body just looked at Mirai confusedly. A second of laughter was heard
" Haha.... You think this is the age of the kingdom! Oi! Weird rich girl! Just base the bed and call your parents immediately! We don't care if you're crazy or really stupid! But we're not messing with your life. Your life is in our hands! " the man held a knife to Mirai's neck. The girl just stared intently, again without the slightest fear
" Damn it! Bad people like you live in this world too, I should suck your soul to dry without rest! Take off my bond and fight me! Bad bald guy! " said Mirai
" What are you saying! " the man began to rage. He wanted to hurt Mirai with his knife.
Brakkk!
The horde of motors pierced through the door of the warehouse and smashed it just like that. Six motors surrounded the place where Mirai was. All the thugs there looked confused. With knives and blunt objects in their hands, the kidnappers were ready to strike at any time
The motors stopped. One of the men riding the big black motorcycle started to open the helmet covering his face. Grey hair sticking out swept slowly. While his brownish-red iris stared intently at the line of kidnappers in front of him.
Just like Aora. Other friends also showed their handsome faces.
"Oi'm you! Dare to mess with our friends! We made sure we would kill you all tonight " said Aora with a heavy voice
" Aora! Don't be rash! Kuta taught them enough lessons and put them in prison for the rest of their lives! Hoshi Group will make sure of that. You forget, we have the best law firm in the country?! Said Hikari trying to scare the criminals in front of him
"Stop your bullshit! Weak young masters like you will never be able to defeat us! " says one of the kidnappers. Even so, he looks shaky facing high school students who are now transformed into an impromptu gang mafia
" Attack them! "
The fight between them is inevitable. Even though the kidnappers had weapons in their hands, Aora and the others were able to fight them with their bare hands. Aora's raw punch lands on the kidnapper's face
" You're all weak! How can you be defeated such spoiled brats! "
The one who threatened Mirai was caught off guard, he was still busy looking at his men who were almost defeated by Aora and the others. Mirai did not waste the opportunity, he kicked the kidnapper with his legs tied. The man fell down with a knife far away
"Curtain! I thought hard was paper! " snake Mirai
" Aish! You dare kick me! " the man was angry and took a piece of wood containing embers in front of him. The man was about to hit Mirai's body. However, Aora immediately came and kicked the man down
" Mirai! Are you all right? " said Aora worried. Amidst the chaos, he even briefly hugged Mirai's body tightly
" Aora! Stopit! Quickly untie my body first. From now on, let me teach them all a lesson! " said Mirai. Aora could only look at Mirai in wonder. Wouldn't in this situation a female character would cry if she was embraced by a male figure who saved her?
" Hey! Don't daydream, Aora! Quickly untie my ties. Before the fun part ends! " mirai said as she stared intently at Aora
" I - yes Mirai. You don't have to look at me with such a scary look! " Aora also released Mirai's bond
Mirai's body was finally freed. He immediately stood up, relaxing his stiff body muscles. Mirai also stretched her finger joints making a distinctive bone sound. That made Aora swallow a rough saliva. Actually, what possessed Mirai. She was known as a graceful woman who was even far from the reach of violence. A conglomerate princess, who guarded a flower tub inside a glass chamber. Fragile and weak.
"Die you all! " said Mirai with his trademark cold grin
But the woman in front of him is different. Only with a glittering determination in his eyes was he even able to finish off anyone who stood in his way. Aora reflex is regressing her steps
" Oi! You all stop! " cried Mirai. All eyes were on him. Mirai immediately grabbed the phone that was lying on the floor. Holding it tight, like a weapon capable of harming anyone in front of him.
" Yora and the others back off! Let me give that bunch of bald cockroaches a lesson! "
All of Aora's friends stared at her in wonder. Aora just gave a gesture and told everyone to retreat from there
" Cih! Arrogant girl! Everybody attack that girl! " says one of the kidnappers. They all compactly ran towards Mirai
" Come baby bald cockroaches! I'll teach you a lesson. How dare you kidnap a Mirai! "
Mirai ran towards the kidnappers. Mirai was so licentious that she avoided the attacks that targeted her body. Quickly, it struck a vital point in the bodies of those burly people.
" One! "
Dak!
" two! "
Dak!
With just a single strike of Mirai, they all collapsed to the ground. Fainting with a frothy mouth while holding their painful stomachs.
" Ten! "
Dak!
Mirai knocks down the leader of the kidnappers, the man being the last target of her vengeance. Mirai stared contentedly at the back of him. Not in vain he did medical magic lessons that were able to make him memorize where the location of the human Vital sign. Mirai smiled in satisfaction while confirming her tangled uniform
"People without magic, are easily defeated! Huh! Not interesting at all. Heh? What's wrong with your faces? "
Mirai glanced at the group of her friends who were staring at her in awe. Hotaru even gave a blank expression, without her noticing her hand automatically clapping. They were all so captivated by the way Mirai fought
" B-how did you do Mirai? Which martial master did you learn from? Let me join his class! Wow you're so cool! " hirui said as she approached Mirai
" You'll know if you've studied witchcraft for a few years. Ops! " Mirai flinched, she immediately smothered her mouth with both hands
" witchcraft? " yora said with a confused look. Mirai immediately switched the subject. It could be dangerous if people here knew that he was from another world.
" Forgetit! I just just wanted to talk. By the way, how are you guys doing? Are you guys hurt? " said Mirai
" We're all fine. But- "Hotaru glanced at Aora. Mirai's eyes were rounded when she learned that there was a wound on Aora's arm
" It seems, when Aora saved you. His hand was slightly injured by the kidnapper's firewood beam." Hotaru continued. Mirai immediately approached Aora, of course, worried look could not be separated from the look of her
"Your injuries are quite serious. Aora come with me! "
......................
The sky began to turn orange. A gentle breeze blew away Mirai's black hair. The beautiful garden scenery stretches below, the magnificent school of Sora is truly magnificent when viewed from the top of the Rooftop building
Everyone seemed to be sitting on the rooftop bench while enjoying the beautiful view of the afternoon sky. While on the side that is quite far from his friends. Mirai, was still busy treating the wound on Aora's arm
"Quick fold your sleeves! "order Mirai. Aora immediately folded her shirt arms, a burn appearing to adorn her sturdy arms
" I'm fine, Mirai. It's just a minor burn" Aora said without taking the slightest look away from her pretty face
" The slightest burn will be difficult to treat if you don't get first aid! " Mirai bandaged Aora's wounds with bandages. In him Mirai regretted, if only he still had magic.
His Kenkou techniques would very quickly heal burns like this. But how else, the magic on his body completely vanished without a remnant.
" Cih! It would be very easy to treat if my Kenkou was still around. But what can I do, I just need to bandage the wound so as not to be exposed to water! " humma Mirai slowly
" Mirai! You can tell me everything " said Aora softly. Mirai halted her agility, she then stared at Aora's brownish-red bead in astonishment
" What do you mean? "
" Mirai, I know you're not the Mirai I've known all along. Your faces are similar, but my feeling is that you are Mirai coming from a faraway place" said Aora, Mirai's body frozen.
" W-how do you know that? "
" How can I not recognize the woman who has been my world. Mirai who was always closed and quiet, suddenly turned into a hyperactive girl. You even shouted towards Hotaru, Hisui and Hirui. Yelling like that wasn't your habit all along.
One more thing, you hate Strawberry so much. However, today you even praised the fruit and said it tasted good. You've always admired foreign-language novels, for you reading novels is a pleasure, but you refused to read them. That's a long way from your personality "
" So, you've been watching me all this time? "
Without Mirai noticing, Aora noticed her behavior one day. With the help of his friends, he uncovers the awkwardness of Mirai. Even though the girl had momentary amnesia, she would certainly never forget something she hated or liked.
"I was very sure of my suspicions when Hisui asked me a question about choosing one of us to be your lover. Mirai must know, we have a partner each. But you're avoiding that question. Even when we've been officially dating. You should have confidently replied, I am your choice. "
Mirai lowered her head slowly, she did not even dare to look Aora in the eyes. He felt guilty, had lied to the man
" I'm sorry, Aora" said Mirai Ririh. However, Aora's big hand instantly gripped her hand tightly
" But wherever you come from, I still consider you Mirai. The woman I love more than anything. "
Aora's words seemed to be a breath of fresh air for Mirai. The girl smiled gently
" You're right. I'm not from this world, Aora. Far away in the universe there, there is a magical world where I come from. The world where magic is created. "
" The world of magic? " Aora looked at Mirai's palm. A light was seen, along with strange symbols that began to appear. Aora never once believed that a fantasy world like a magic world existed somewhere in this universe. However, all was undisputed when he saw the girl in front of him
"Mirai, your hand" said Aora in disbelief
Mirai looked at her right palm. Mirai's eyes are perfectly rounded, the previously lost Gyoku symbol is now slowly beginning to appear
"T- couldn't be. The gyoku symbol in my hand reappeared. I will soon be gone from this world! "
Mirai was so overjoyed to know the magic symbol in her hand had recovered. However, that was not the case with the man in front of him. Aora looked at meu towards Mirai. Although the girl was not from the same world as him, Aora naturally could not let go of Mirai just like that
"So, you'll be gone soon" Aora muttered softly
Aora's hand clasped tightly onto Mirai's hand, submerging the snow symbol into her hand which made Mirai's focus diverted for a moment.
"Mirai, let me ask you one thing "
Mirai stared at Aora's brownish-red bead which started to tremble. Even so, a gentle smile was etched beautifully on her handsome face
" What in the world. Is there another figure of me? I wonder if in that world I can protect you too?"
Mirai smiled gently. He pointed his hand to wipe the handsome face that was still faithful looking down sad
"In that world, you're always by my side. Before I even knew you, you always protected me. As my hero and my lover.
Now I realize, Aora. Even in this strange world, you always stand by me. Always be my protector, whenever I need you. "
Gyoku Mirai suddenly let out a white light. He knew his time in this world was almost over.
" It seems like my time is a little. Thank you, Aora. I'm glad I got to know you today. "
" Hm... Me either. But let me say goodbye properly before you leave. "
Aora reached for Mirai's face. He then brought his face closer to the face of the girl as high as his chest. The girl simply followed where the groove took her, while closing her two eyes, Mirai hugged Aora's waist tightly. Clutching the man's shirt, though not willing to take it off for a second
The distance between them is getting smaller. Aora gently landed her lips onto Mirai's ranum lips. They without enjoying the soft fondling between the two. A deep kiss, a greeting of goodbyes between two different people of the world
While the horde of 'mosquitoes' were not considered, it could only stare at the two people in front of him in envy.
"I miss you, Tsuyu! " said Hotaru while meleyot to two lovers who 'do not know the place and situation'
" After this, I'll have Kazumi kiss me! Sure is! " said Hisui with a fiery look
" Huh! What food do I want to cook for Harui huh? " said Hikari while rubbing her chin. Meanwhile, Hisui could only put on a sour face
" Damn it! LDR killed. Do I have to fly overseas to meet my boyfriend? Haha! I miss her! " cock Hirui
However, instantly all judgmental gazes were fixed on Yora. The cold calm man always becomes his partner's moons because he is still at home
" Why are you staring at me?! "
" Stop your one-sided love with Mirai. That girl already belongs to your twin brother completely! Move on bro! Yora, you're still doing a pull with Yuri, heh! " hotaru ledek
" All of you, noise! " said Yora with her distinctive flat face
" Yes.. Yep.. Yep.... Do what you want, Yora. You'll regret it. You know, Yuri was being heavily approached by a transfer student named Itasuke right? I hear, his father owns a well-known investment and casino company overseas. You sure, you want to take Yuri off just like that?! " Hirui tried to heat up Yora's manation. Yora's hands clenched firmly.
" Of course, I won't let that happen. More than that loser, I'm so much better! "
" good. Take it easy, we'll help you. But before that, we better get going before they get out of control! " hikari said as she pointed towards Aora and Mirai. They all nodded, and the compact quietly went towards the door of the atab
Meanwhile, Mirai began to take off Aora's pangutan. His breath is a little bit clashing. A red tinge was clearly visible on both of his cheeks. Mirai smiled softly, she felt the power of the pillar stone begin to fill her. Time's almost up. He recalled his father's promise, it seemed Mirai was the one who could not keep his promise
"I'm so happy to see you, Aora. But there's one thing I regret. At least, before it completely disappeared from this world. I wish I could see the faces of my mom and dad! "
Mirai is a little sad. But he can't be selfish. At least, in this world he had time to see and embrace the father he so missed. That's more than enough. Smile again expands on her beautiful face
" See you, Aora. I hope that you and I who live in this world will always"
Mirai had not yet spoken her last words, her father's soft voice calling out her name
"Mirai! " Kizuna emerged from behind the door atab. He immediately ran towards Mirai with an anxious face.
" Dad, Goodbye. " Mirai could only smile weakly, at least in his last moments he could see his father's face
" Daughter, mom's here! " say the soft voice of women. Samar a woman appears, right behind Kizuna
Mirai's gaze began to whiten, Mirai's eyes had narrowed. He hoped he could see his mother's face in this world
" A minute. Let me look at my mother's face. But alas, before his mother actually put her face on, Mirai's soul had already been pulled back.
......................
" Mirai, awake! " the faint voice of Zou sounded. Mirai immediately opened her eyes, a dark forest with moonlight adorning a faint look. Mirai realized, she had already returned to her original world.
Mirai began to rise, she felt pain all over her body as a result of falling asleep on a hard rock
"Oh! My body hurts so much! " collapsed Mirai. But after remembering the adventure he had, Mirai was small
" Who told you to sleep on a rock! But why are you laughing like that? " asked Zou with a strange look
" Haha... I remember the beautiful dream I just had. "
"the dream? What dreams? "
Mirai stared at the expanse of stars in the night sky. A soft smile was etched on her beautiful face
" I dreamt of coming to a place where the World knew no war and had no idea what magic was. "
Zou furrowed his brows "There really is such a world? "
" I don't know. But the world is beautiful. Yeah! Although there is a bit of a strange social system that they apply! But a world without war is beautiful and beautiful. People our age will come to a place called school. Parents do not need to encourage children to take part in a dangerous mission. Just play and enjoy the beautiful days, without fear of losing lives. A world like heaven. "
" Yes.. Yep.. Yep... I hope I live in that world too. Mirai, get up from here. We will continue our journey soon! "
Mirai jerks. The night is not even over yet. Whatever you do, the journey must continue
" Huh! If there were a car here "
" Stop the crap about your dreams and get up fast! " Zou started to leave Mirai. The girl begins to rise to her feet, with her antuasia Mirai telling Zou her dream. Even though the man was cute, he tried to ignore it
A world without war and magic? Perhaps such a world does exist in this vast universe. Vice versa....
