“We're home..!” Chronoa opened the door of his house with carefree steps. His hand carried a long wooden box containing the blue sword Sven had given him. Not long after, Layond and Dyze caught up with the groceries in their hands.
“S-welcome!” Lealta, the Emilton family maid lowered her body nervously as they all walked in. His eyes look beautiful. I don't know what the reason is, lately his attitude is quite strange.
“Oh, you guys have come.” Riley smiling.
“Buu see this! We had to buy food at the market. This is all because Old Man was so bad at catching animals.” Chronoa leaped happily to his mother who was sitting reading a book.
“Hey, what did you say?! Come here, you Naughty Child!” Layond put the groceries on the floor and spread Chronoa like a monster.
“Blee, just try to catch me monster suck..!” Chronoa replied to his father's words while sticking out his tongue and running fast. He then jumped onto the sofa, climbed up the curtains and swung towards the stair railing.
“Hahahah, great movement little angel, but your father this is much more powerful! Graaawr!” The man quickly climbed the stairs. As usual, some of the glassware that had been nudged on them let out its distinctive sound.
Oi oi, are they going to keep acting like this? Inner Dyze with a smile full of annoyance. He ignored them and brought food to the kitchen.
“K-you guys, please stop ... Mrs Riley will lose her temper.” Lealta said as she climbed the stairs nervously. Instead of obeying Lealta's words, they just passed through it when coming down the stairs.
“Receive this ugly monster!” Chronoa throws a ball of Riley's wool thread into Layond's stomach.
“Aargh, dammit. I'm defeated...!” Layond pretended to be lying in pain. Chronoa who saw that immediately put on an annoyed face.
“Pak Old boring. Cih,” said.
“What did you say?” Layond began to stand with a gripping aura.
“Bad child, you never appreciate your own father.” Chronoa was a little surprised to see him.
“Then ... taste this!” Layond jumped up, locked onto Chronoa's movements and tickled his stomach.
“Aaah, hahahaha stop old sir!” Chronoa then tried his hardest to escape.
“Basic, don't make your father angry or-“
“Or what is hm?” Riley cuts off Layond's words right in front of her. Layond was shocked and silent for a moment.
“Ah, emm it, I'll clean up the house. Yeah, that's what I mean ehehe.”
“Hahah Old Man pay-“
“Chronoa...” Riley smiled at her daughter.
“B-good ma'am, I'll help dad.” Chronoa bowed his body.
“Fuuuh, they're really naughty. Good thing Mrs Riley didn't throw them out of the house.” Lealta muttered to herself.
“Hmm? Did Riley ever kick them out?” dyze's comments suddenly.
“A-what? Ah, uhmm, i-it's Mrs Riley .. ah! I-I forgot something. Excuse me,” he said.
Meanwhile, Dyze's side.
Damn, this is really good. Noa said this fruit is called a banana. The things in this world are indeed very great for my human form.
I continued to eat this yellow fruit while walking towards the living room where Riley was reading a book.
Ah those two, in the end exposed to Riley's anger huh.
“Fuuuh, they're really naughty. Good thing Mrs Riley didn't throw them out of the house.” Lealta muttered quite loudly. Gulp, I swallowed my banana.
“Hmm? Did Riley ever kick them out?” my many.
“A-what? Ah, uhmm, i-it's Mrs Riley .. ah! I-I forgot something. Excuse me,”
Huhhhhhh? What the fuck. He always acts strange when he sees me. Well, I guess Noa will give me an answer. He was quite good at explaining things that were in this world. Now, I have to change my clothes, and help Layond cut down the wood. This is troublesome indeed but at least I should be useful in this family for me to be worthy of staying.
* * *
“Pfft, what the fuck? Even such a thing you can't catch well? He's in love with you fucking uncle.” Noa smiled cynically at me as I asked Lealta's attitude towards her.
“Cih, I told you, I lost my memory. Anyway, what the fuck is love?”
“Uncle is really stupid about that yes, love is a strong dislike to the point that you want the person you love to disappear from the world. That's why Lealta leaves immediately if she meets you.”
“So Lealta wants to finish me off? Sure enough, I thought he was a good man.”
“Pfft sucks, of course that's not what it means. I was just kidding uncle.”
“Hmfpp.”
Dyze felt an unnatural upheaval in his body.
It felt, my mouth had just spewed out something intangible. Shit, my head hurts so much. My ears were buzzing and a faint voice was heard.
“Hold, Mr Dyze!” say that voice.
Isn't this...
“Uncle! Oi, uncle suck, what happened?” Noa.
“T-no, my head just hurts a little.”
Dyze stood up and left Noa behind.
Wait, why did I leave that naughty girl? My feet, I can't control them! Where will my feet go? I'm trying to calm down. My feet stopped in front of the bathroom.
“Bathroom? Come on, do my feet have a taste of a place as low as this?”
Dyze then stepped inside, and the bathroom door immediately closed by itself. The strange thing continued.
Dyze's legs gave off a white glow which then gathered into one in front of her. The collection of rays formed the form of a creature that is very familiar to him.
“Ariel?!”
“True, Mr.”
“Ha! That's a good damn thing...! This world is really driving me crazy. I must return to Firmament Deity!”
“Relax, Sir. My time is not much. You have now managed to synchronize with the human soul. Your soul has fused perfectly with this human form. So it is not surprising that you feel what humans usually feel and suddenly know the terms used by humans. Besides, Mr. Dyze. Recover the essence of your life energy while you are here. Meet a Grandma with a white cat at the city market. I think he can help.”
Not long after, Ariel faded with a small voice that accompanied her departure. Dyze is not too sure about that. But it seems, the voice reads “Temfo Rest”.
Ariel, one of the supreme commanders of my subordinate angels who was very loyal until the end of his life. I can't waste his sacrifice. Also, I have gained a lot of knowledge about humans huh. Good, this is very useful. In fact, I won't have any trouble urinating anymore. But who was the grandmother she meant? Is it a human? No, that's impossible. He hated humans so much.
Kreek, the bathroom door then re-opened by itself. I rushed out and walked quickly to my room.
“Hmm, I never thought Ariel would help me so much. But, what does he mean by ‘Temfo Rest’? Layond probably knows.”
He murmured as he opened the door of the room. When the door was completely opened, a strange black creature stood up in welcome. He immediately turned on the magic lamp and noticed the black creature that turned out to be Noa.
“Damn it, you surprised me bad boy!”
“Your uncle has been acting very strange!”
“Huft .. listen, my head just hurts a little. So, stop suspecting me.”
“Hmm, so? I thought you were still thinking about Lealta.” Noa teased him and smiled mischievously.
Hmm about Lealta liking me yeah, it's ridiculous.
“T-of course not a bad boy! Damn it.”
Dyze left the room and slammed the door.
How dare he toyed with my emotions that had just synchronized. I myself am still quite surprised by this change.
* * *
Ah drat. The flow of life energy in this forest is still out of sync with my blood. All right, let's try it again! I then went back to trying to do the message that Ariel said. Shortly before Ariel disappeared, the light pieces formed a position with both legs bent, the knee of the left leg is behind and parallel to the right leg in front. The left hand is directly in front of the chest, while the right hand touches the ground. A bit similar to the position of the person preparing to run.
I think that position is a way to neutralize the flow of my life energy. So today I tried it in Temp forest. Layond said “Temfo Rest” was my hearing mistake. Ariel's message was “Temp Forest” or Temp Forest, the forest where I fell from Firmament Deity. That's why, I chose this forest to do the clue Ariel gave me.
About how I got here, Layond asked me to help him hunt monsters. Some parts of their bodies are useful for buying. So, as he tied up the monster that had been hit by his spear, I left him slowly. Luckily, Layond did not realize that.
Bzz!
“Cih, still can't ya.” I tried it again seriously. My eyes closed. I drew a long Breath, calmed my mind and focused my right hand on absorbing the life energy this sacred forest possessed.
Sshh....
This voice ... the hiss of a snake?! I immediately looked back and saw a five-eyed giant snake about a meter in front of me. Luckily, someone who was no stranger to me slashed his stomach quickly.
“I told you, don't stay away from me. Looks like Noa's mischief rubbed on you huh,” Layond let out a short sigh. Yes, he was the one who saved me from that giant snake. Wait, then, did Layond realize my strange position just now? Shit, that's very suspicious.
“Ah-haha forgive me, an animal in this grass is very interesting I guess.” What kind of reason is that?!. Layond would
“So yes, I did not expect people like you to be interested in the animals of the land,” he replied with a warm smile.
Eh? What is?! She trust? I thought that was a very stupid reason.
“Ehehe.” I replied with my stiff laughter. We then walked towards the collected Layond's quarry.
“Hei Layond.” I started the conversation.
“Hm? What's up?”
“Why did you help me? Shouldn't you focus on the hunt you're on
catch?”
“Hahhahhah! Silly question! You saved my daughter's life. It's appropriate that I consider you like my own son.”
This man ... he said it with sincerity. Child, huh? A living being born with the same flesh and blood as his parents. Why would Layond call me that? I think it's too much. And also, maybe it's just my feeling but Layond is now very different from Layond I met..
“Did your parents treat you badly before?” ask Layond.
“Eh? N-no, I don't remember it.”
Cih, let alone being treated badly, I don't even have parents. Is that fun? Well, eating Riley's cooking was fun, I guess.
Layond was also very warm as I tried to escape, he kept me from staying. They're good parents I guess.
“Good, our catch today is quite a lot. Oh, also, what about your life energy core? Does it work well, Dyze?”
Eh? Wh-what!? Why could he
“Ehm, what do you mean Layond?” I unconsciously took a few steps back from him.
“Haha, no need to fear. I've known it since the first time Noa brought you home. Your life energy should not be used carelessly when your core is not neutral. It can trigger an explosion without any form and make you detectable. I don't know what race you're from, but you can use life energy. So I guess your race belongs to a high-level race. Too bad you lost your memory. You don't need to worry, I'll keep you out of the hands of others who can abuse your life energy.”
Layond continued to talk like a father to his son. Damn, not all humans are greedy and stupid I guess.
What's the matter? It feels so calm. I really am having a hard time, right? Right, I lost my position as a god and became a lowly human with my completely useless skills. Shit, I didn't mean to hurt you. Zavist, I can't believe you did all this.
“... also, being separated from family and memory loss is very tiring, right? What if we play?” Layond stood up from his seat and took two swords from his chariot.
“If you can give me one stroke with this sword, you win.” He gave me one sword. He ... wasn't as stupid as I thought. Of course, he was a renowned former high soldier.
“Ha! Don't underestimate me, old man!”
* * *
“Uhuk, uhuk, uhuk.”
It's been a few days since Layond got sick. The next day after me and the man were hunting monsters, he was suddenly stricken with a strange disease.
We haven't found a cure for him. Even the Healers and famous doctors could not find the disease that Layond suffered. Noa became more quiet than usual. Riley wasn't as scared as Riley was the day before Layond became ill.
While Lealta ... she kept avoiding me as usual.
About grandma with the white cat, I can't find her. The traders in the market were also unaware of the whereabouts of the grandmother. A really strange woman. Ever since Layond got sick, I never visited that market again.
“Dyze, Noa, look for clitoria leaves and some chamomile. Lealta was too busy cleaning the house. While Riley, he was exhausted from keeping Layond last night. So please cooperate. I will go to the city market to look for other herbs. Be careful!” said Shearly who looked quite pale.
“Good Shearly.” Noa and I immediately got out of the house after picking up a small wooden basket. Noa with her overcast face walked languidly not far behind me. Well, it must be heavy for him. All right, I gotta say something.
“Hey, cheer up, you want your Old Man to get well quickly, ‘right? Then hurry up! With the herbs that we bring, Layond will be more quickly helped.” entertain me.
“Hm.” Noa nodded slowly. Uhh shit, what exactly makes Layond so bad? Ah that's not important. For now, I have to look for herbs just like Shearly asked for.
“Ah, that's it. Come.” I immediately approached the place where the herbs Shearly requested were growing. Noa caught up with me without any fuss. I crouched down and started plucking the plants Shearly asked for. So too with Noa. It was just that, he did it very slowly and limply. Damn, why does something in me keep forcing me to comfort this girl?
“Cih, don't keep putting on such a gloomy face. I'm sure your father tid-“
“Hiks, hiks.”
Wh-what? This soft voice, the cry? Can this cold girl cry? I glanced at him a little. Damnit. She's really crying! What am I supposed to do?
“I ... hiks, I'm scared, Dyze.”
Eh? He admit?
“Hiks, I .. I don't, hiks, I don't want to lose my fucking father. Diks, hyxes, doctors or healers are not usually confused to diagnose the disease! B-in fact, hiks, Shearly did not know it either, hiks, Then, why should I cry in front of you? Stupid uncle! Hiks, hiks, shit..!”.
Oi, oi, he really took out
everything is.
“Uh, huft .. relax. I'm sure Shearly will soon find Layond's disease and cure him. Now take a deep breath and-“
Wait, damn what did I say? Why do I seem to care so much about him?
“Fuuuh.” The girl wiped her tears and started to stand up. “Punishment. I'm not that sad. My eyes only hurt to see you so bleak.”
“Baughty boy! Come here!” With Shearly's order plant, I immediately chased after the black-haired son of a bitch.
“Wlee, uncle won't be able to catch me!” we ran and ran until we reached home.
“Hahahhaha, I got there first! Jesus, Dyze! You really suck.” Noa smiled broadly. Really sucks. But it's better than the face of the lesion.
“I really suck. But not to become a bad boy who was punished in the forest,” my reply while looking at the dim daytime sky. It might rain soon.
“Cihh, fucking uncle.”
“Haha, come on in. You don't want your father to suffer any longer, ‘kan?”
“Hm, true.” Noa immediately opened the door of the house with carefree steps.
“Nona Shearly! We brought the plants!” Noa ran towards Layond's room.
“Dyze! Old Man is not in his bed!” loud shouting. What say? I immediately ran to the kitchen, the living room, the warehouse, but still did not find it.
“Damn it! Where is she?!”
“Mother! She wasn't in her room either!” Exclaims. What the hell is going on?! Where are they all? No, no, I need to calm down.
“Noa, maybe they brought Layond to the treatment place,”-I walked towards the backyard door and opened it-“remember, Shearly will come soon and-“
I hope I wake up from this nightmare soon.
