The Lord of the Universe
Chapter 123, My Nightmare
I lay on the bed for about a week before I recovered. Yep, the eye of time helped me in recovery so I could recover faster than expected. Even so, my chest is still wrapped in bandages for approximately 2 weeks before it can be removed.
The morning came, I was bored because I was always in the room and while Anna was still sleeping I would go out for a short walk. I walked around the White Pion Palace and found a beautiful sunrise. Good I found this again this morning warmer than usual so it's perfect.
I walked up to the stairs that separated the palace from the city and sat on it. I took a breath and exhaled him. I seem to. forget something... Oh yes, Kurumi! I forgot to pick her up.
I looked to the right and to the left and there was no one. While no one was watching over me I better pick him up first because that was also my promise to him.
I stretched my right hand to the side and my sword came into my grasp. I closed my eyes and teleported to Machinery. Oh yeah I'm curious, Sumiko is here but why Kurumi isn't there with her can go together.. I'd better ask the person directly.
I stepped on the ground, opened my eyes and saw in front of me the gate of the Machinery palace. The gate was still as before.I looked back and was surprised to see the previously burned out Machinery city was back to normal. Hm? Wait.. everything is the same as before when I first came here.. if it is fixed there should be something different but here there is nothing. everything is like before.... time is turning around!
"Nakano." said the person behind me.
I looked back towards the gate and found Kurumi who was in front of him. I was surprised for a moment and smiled.
"Kurumi!" call me.
She smiled happily, ran towards me and hugged me while saying my name.
"Nakano!!".
She laughed like a child but I ignored her and I didn't realize I was smiling happily.
Kurumi got off from me and let go of her embrace.
"Kurumi's.. You're getting pretty, yeah.", though...",
"Nika...",
"I'm sorry for being late to pick you up....",
"It's okay. As long as I can see you again I don't mind waiting for you for decades!",
"...".
His words make me very happy.. Why did I drown in darkness again when I had many people supporting me and making me happy...
"It's been 9 months...how are you?" my tofu, my,
"I'm fine saj-j-ja." he said stiffly.
His figure slowly disappeared as in the errors in the computer.
"Kurumi?".
He disappeared in a way that was not unique.
"Kurumi...? KURUMI!".
I fell to the ground and panicked to look for him. Suddenly the ground beneath me became black and all around me was gone. What the hell's going on?
"Nakano~~~" said a voice that appeared suddenly.
This voice... I seem to know... but who..? I can't remember!
"Who?",
"Nakano~~~" said the voice calling my name.
I looked to the right and to the left.
"WHO?!" My tofu,
"Ehehehehe.... Nakano~ Nakano~ Nakano~", Japan",
"WHO?!! COME OUTSIDE!!! SHOW YOURSELF!" I said in the middle of the voice that was always calling my name nonstop,
"Nakano~ Nakano~ Nakano~ Nakano~ Nakano~" said the voice echoed.
I looked to the right and left continuously trying to calm down. Finally the voice did not echo anymore and the voice appeared from behind me.
I looked behind me and it was a figure I recognized... A precious figure to me before I became what I am now, my sister— I mean My Stepbrother who invited me to marry him before. Her hair was white while holding a key.
Suddenly a figure came out from behind my brother. The red-haired figure and figure I knew as well.he was Nakano Wynox's greatest enemy... Magicufer's...
"Nakano.. You love her, don't you?" ask Magicufer, please,
"Stop!",
"You still love him, don't you...",
"Stop!",
"How about I kill him.",
"Stop...! Stop that!".
Magicufer put his long, sharp index finger and taper on my brother's neck. Magicufer pulled his finger over my brother's neck and before it happened... My sister moved her lips like she said something... I couldn't follow her lips at that moment...
"JUSTCH!!!!!" I said.
Blood came out of my brother's neck and I. Woke up?
I woke up from my sleep and gasped. I found Kurumi and Tohka beside me looking at me with a worried look. Hufft.. turned out to be just a dream. but...
"Nakano! You all right?!" ask Kurumi worriedly,
"Yes. I'm fine...".
I looked at him who gave a worried look.
"What's wrong? You seem to be very worried about me." I asked Kurumi,
"How can you not?! You just screamed like pain and your body trembled like a possessed person!".
Is that true? And again, like a possessed man? Is it that bad?
I held my head and I remembered something. My head was a little dizzy and could not absorb what had happened.
".... Nakano... You all right?" ask Tohka, please,
"Yes. I'm good...",
"...",
".. You're.. I'm sorry but I need some alone time now.. Can you guys go?", please?",
"B-But." said Tohka,
"Please!",
"...",
"Let's go, Tohka.",
"T-But he—",
"Tohka's.".
They both came out of the room and left me alone. What just happened made me want to be alone there thinking.
My half-brother..is it very precious to me..? When Magicufer wanted to kill him, my chest was like tight and thought I wouldn't lose it. And when he needed it like. Everything I had. was gone. everything that was precious to me. had been taken away... Brother...is your role very important in my life? When Magicufer killed her, my chest was tight and my brain didn't accept the reality, and it felt like the end for me...
Sister...what have you done to make me like this? What's valuable about you? What makes you more valuable than all my fiancees? What you have and they don't... Wait... have..?
Have... key....? The key! The key my brother held back then! But...what key is it? Come on Nakano remember! Something...something precious..something tied to that key! Something.....!!! Forget it. I don't remember it at all, there's not even the slightest picture of the key.
Does the key refer to something? If yes.. then the thing should be in. home...my old....
