37 Las Seiz

In the forest, there can be seen a lady affectionately carry a sleeping child in her arms. From time to time, a light would flow from the lady into the child which heal most of the child injuries at a fast rate.

While she's carrying her child, a black colored bird comes flying in her direction while the lady opens one of her hand where the flying bird land on it and it turn into a paper.

"A message from my husband?."

Although it's still dark night, the lady can easily read the content of the message pretty easily and once she read through the message, she couldn't help but frown, then she calmly crumpled the paper and burn it to ashes while muttering.

"Qin Lin…"

Her voice was cold, devoid of any emotion when she mentions this name, she's angry, yet reminded her son was sleeping right now, she tried to calm herself down, while she calmly says.

"I don't know what you're planning to do, I don't even care if you're the one that hires the assassin from the Death Court to usurp the throne, but you tried to marry your son to my son...?"

While Yin Ying was muttering angrily but quietly, Yin Yu who's still on her embrace wake up. But before he knows where he is, he can hear his mother voices full of killing intent which makes him fake asleep while hearing her words.

'Death Court...! Marry…? Son and son…!?'

When Yin Yu heard about Death Court, he can't help but feel that it's a cool name when he heard about marry he got confused about who'll marry with who, but when he hears the son to my son part, he started to swear under his breath.

'Shit, I didn't just reincarnate into a BL novel right!?. No, no,no,no,no. How can the great me reincarnated in BL novel, Yep it's not happening, not happening! I'm not a fujoshi like that Yaori you know!, …wait who's Yaouri I'm talking about again?.'

Thinking so hard, Yin Yu forget about the marrying part and start to think of his past memories, but to no avail, he can't remember much about it. He can fuzzily remember a little of her past but only a little, it's a memory of his past, a memory of his friends.

'Do I have a friend in my past life?'

Thinking of that, Yin Yu remember a word he had heard in the past, no to be more exact, the word he saw but the word reverberate in his mind.

'Friends, we may be stranger in real life but the five of us will always become best friends in virtual life, on my name as Demon Queen, and as your leader, I'll make the contract that all the five of us are inseparable in this life!.'

'Remember and don't ever forget even until death claims us!'

'Slime Sage – The wise sage which let go of his worldly desire'

'Training Addict – The martial artist which loves to train more than anything'

'Yaouri – A fujoshi who stubbornly fixated on same-sex relationship'

'Demon Queen – Your leader, the demon who tried to be cooler than everyone else!'

'And lastly, my apprentice, the next queen after me!'

'The Queen of Catastrophe – Which will bring catastrophe to all of our enemies!'

'Remember who you are, and don't lose sight of yourself.'

'Las Seiz' (My Friend)

Remembering the word he read before, Yin Yu can't help but let his tear flow like a dam.

'Demon Queen…Everyone…'

'I'm sorry…Las Seiz' (My Friend)

Still, Yin Ying who's still cursing felt that her shoulder is getting wet, which let her notice that her proud son has cry without making any voice which makes her a little panicked.

"Little Yu, Little Yu, are you alright? Did you have bad dreams?"

While her son cries, Yin Ying still pats his back while consoled him with his word, patiently and caringly. Even so, her son just hugs her tighter since he didn't want her mom seeing him cry like a crybaby.

Soon, his tear disappear and he falls asleep in his mother embrace, Yin Ying didn't know what happens to her son, but all she knows is that her son is crying with great sadness which let her forget cursing the new king who tried to marry his son to her son.

Yin Ying consoled Yin Yu all night long even after he stops crying, while Yin Yu face finally become peaceful.

***

In the other world

A lone and small graves stood in the hill which faces the sea.

Even though it's small, the graves were clean and flower can be seen everywhere in the vicinity of the graves.

Four people can be seen praying in front of the graves again this year. The four of them cried but they keep their smile on their faces while muttering everything they want to talk about this year just like any other year.

One of them was a cool faced mature girl, one of them was a robust crew cut male, one of them was a handsome middle-aged man, and the last one is a cute young lady.

If Yin Yu was here, he will see that the cute young lady was the stranger she has saved before her death, and she's the one that always asks for forgiveness every time she prays on the graves.

"I'm sorry…it's all my fault…"

"Aoi, put on a smile when you speak with her, remember that she's always cheerful, don't make her sad because of your sadness"

Seeing her friends still blame herself even after all these years, the cool faced girls start to persuade and console her.

"Yuki's right, you need to be cheerful when you face her…please…"

The middle-aged man who's still maintaining his smile, start to has his smile crumble when he talks, even so, he still tries his best to smile and not cry that much in front of is friend Graves.

While the robust man just silently prays together with his friends.

Yes, the four of them was Yin Yu friends, more like his teammate when they're playing MOBA.

Before they never even once try to meet in the real life, but after hearing Yaouri experience and how she describes the words that her savior said which reminds her of Ame and how Ame haven't been online lately, they become worried and meet each other only to find that Ame's truly dead.

The 4 of them decide to pool some money and make a grave for Ame and have been visiting this place ever since 5 years ago.

"I have already said to you, I'm partly at fault here, I'm the one that teaches her that… I'm…"

With that, the cool faced woman start to cry harder than before, the robust guy who's silent all this time start to cry more while he confessed.

"No, I should be the one at fault, I'm the one that asks her to train more since she's skinny, and real-life experience is the most important, I'm the one…"

Hearing his friends word, the middle-aged man start to intervene with their words.

"But, if she didn't save Aoi, it might be Aoi who's dead right now…at least…don't blame yourself too much…please…she didn't want you guys to blame your own self, I'm sure of it."

When that word said, their leader, the cool face girl start to comes in front of the graves they made for their friend, and pray.

"Did I ever say you got a good name?, Ameyuki."

"It means rain and snow, even when you're over there, you can make our eyes raining like a real queen of catastrophe."

"I hope you're happy over there Ameyuki, as long as you're happy, we're…, the four of us are happy too."

"That's why you don't need to worry about us…"

"Las Seiz." (My Friend)
