Aya looked at Narukami as the luster in her eyes grew bright, indicating hope exploded in her heart, "thank you." She smiled.
Her smile was sweet and warm simultaneously. Narukami nodded without much of a response.
The car stopped as one could hear the low cry of the break.
Aya got in and slightly nodded at Narukami through the window before the car drove away.
Watching the car's back as it drove away and disappeared from his vision after far away. Narukami turned his head and looked at the sky with his slightly dead eyes.
A breeze of the wind swayed his black hair and fallen leaves followed. They were like snow, slowly but surely falling to the ground.
As the bus stopped more than two hundred meters away from the branch, Narukami engulfed himself as he teleported.
What was left behind was a black, shadowy figure with a watch that occasionally blinked.
The figure gradually had a face and clothes. As time went by, the figure looked like Narukami!
"Narukami" looked to the left and right before he walked to the nearest hotel to stay the night so as to avoid being apprehended by the police. He still wore his school uniform.
A student roaming the streets in the middle of the night usually had an obvious ending, attracting police and ending up with questions before being sent home!

In a high-class condominium, a bedroom with dim light shone onto the desk. A man was dressed in a white dressing gown. He had black hair with some strands turned white. Eyes with a sleeping bag under them, his pupils moved from the left to read as he read each sentence.
His hand was holding a book. The cover has a title with a unique font and the background was red.
Classical music was also played in the background on a phone, making the room lively yet relaxed.
Once in a while, the man sipped a cup of tea from the desk. The desk had rows of books neatly arranged.
In front of them was a pen holder in the form of a cat and beside it was a picture of a cute girl smiling at the camera.
The man closed the book as he rubbed his tired, old eyes. There was a clear sign of aging on his face as more wrinkles were formed.
After laying the book on the desk, he stood up from his chair and turned around to end the day, preparing for tomorrow.
Just as he turned his body around, a boy sitting on the other side of the bed came into his vision.
The old man, or rather, Kuroda Ki frowned.
"Did you enjoy your reading time, old man?" The boy was Narukami. He changed his persona slightly and face. He didn't want official Sorcerers found out that he was involved with this.
"Who are you?" Ki asked calmly. He slowly approached the desk and silently put his right hand beneath it.
His hand moved here and there before finally stopping as it felt what appeared to be a button.
"I don't recommend you to touch it. You only injure yourself."
Ki ignored the boy's warning and push the button. However, it won't budge! Instead, he got electrocuted!
A loud groan sounded in the air as faint smoke rose from his body. His eyes rolled back and mouth agape.
"See? Sometimes, adults should believe what children have to say! Look at you, charred black as coal."
Rapidly, his condition went for the better without a clear explanation.
He's a Sorcerer? Narukami asked himself, a bit surprised. Even if someone gained the power of element but wasn't registered in an organization. They were still called Sorcerers.
Of course, there were exceptions like Specialists.
After his body returned to normal with blackness on his body erased. Ki looked at Narukami with horror. His facial expression also said that he was confused.
Ki had to feel where the button was to find out its exact location. He did find it but he didn't get electrocuted. However, when he pushed it, he got zapped!
"You wonder why it electrocuted you now? Of course, it's because I arrange it. Isn't that obvious?" Narukami scoffed.
Being a different person feels off, is this what actors feel when acting? Narukami lampooned silently.
"Who are you? Who sent you?" Ki's mouth trembled.
"Relax, I'm not sent by anyone and I won't kill you. I want to know where your daughter's heart is."
His expression became heavy.
"What are you going to do to her? Leave my family alone!" He shouted. Usually, with that shout, it was enough to penetrate the wall and be heard by those outsides.
Currently, two Sorcerers were guarding his bedroom door yet they couldn't hear him!
Ki didn't have time to care about that. His family was currently at stake or at least that was what he thought.
He still had the sense to protect his family? After hearing her past, I could only say what an irony.
"Then why did you sacrifice her heart to improve your business?"
Ki became silent as his mind recalled the past, his face softened.
"I don't want to but I don't have a choice. I can't simply abandon my father's company. He had sacrificed his blood and sweat, even his time for his family. And in the past, I was persuaded and believe his sweet words. I made the mistake of transferring the company's owner to someone.
That bastard then made the company into a black company. Workers paid less with work hours more than usual. We also made a fatal mistake on a project, causing our financial situation at risk.
And did you know what that bastard did? He shoved all the problems on me and he went on a vacation! He also said that if I failed, my family would pay the price!"
"Who is the person?"
"You're a Sorcerer so you should know his name, Xain Fuhrer. A member of a secret organization, Fallen Nightless."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
