6 Anteiku Coffee Shop

Aergia was blending in with the human world as he wanted to search for some friends except Ophis. He was somewhere in Japan and had just finished creating a fake identity and bank account. When he went and bought an apartement he overheard some people talking about a place.

"Hey, do you want to go to Anteiku tomorrow?" Person 1 asked, "Yeah let's go. It's been long after I last tasted their coffee after all." Person 2.

"Hey there, what is the Anteiku you guys are talking about ?" Aergia asked them. The two person looked a little shock but they never seen this guy before so he must be a newcomer. "It's seems like you're a newcomer here as we never seen you before and Anteiku is the best coffee shop in town. Even though only a small amount of people ever heard about them you're lucky we're regulars at that shop." Person 3 answered. Then they proceeded to tell Aergia the location of the coffee shop. Aergia thanked them and went to Anteiku. The location of Anteiku wasn't so far from his apartement only 5 minutes walk from it.

When he arrived in front of the shop the first impression that Aergia gotten from the shop is that the shop appears plain He then proceeded to enter the shop. When he enters the shop he saw several customers was talking happily and the atmosphere seems pleasant. He then went towards the stool in front of the barista and ordered a cup of black coffee. The barista was a tall, powerful man who is in a formal waiter uniform. He had white hair and closed eyes. Aergia noticed that the barista wasn't a human but he didn't emit any shred of evil even though he had smell of blood. when he was thinking the barista then give him his coffee.

Aergia then took a sip and was kind of surprised about it's taste, he then took a look at the barista and said, "What a tasty coffee, anyway what's your name ?" The barista was kind of surprised that he asked for his name as it was the 1st time a person had asked for his name, even though there's some customer comes here regularly they just called him 'old man' but never asked for his name, so he smiled and said, " My name is Yoshimura and thanks for the compliments. What do you think about my shop ?"

"It's a nice shop and had a pleasant atmosphere it's also a peaceful place to be, and before I forget my name is Aergia." Aergia replied. "Aergia what a unique name, what does it means ?" Aergia then answered while stirring his coffee, "Honestly I don't know what it means and it seems you're married who's the lucky one ?" Aergia looked at his ring finger which had a silver ring on it.

"It would be me." A waitress then come toward Aergia and Yoshimura, " I'm his wife, my name is Ukina and It's about time you made more friend, honey." He blushed but Aergia and Ukina laughed, Taking a last sip of his coffee Aergia then stood up and left the money on the table then walked out while saying, " Take the change, I'll come back for more coffee some time soon."

After that day Aergia comes to Anteiku almost everyday and got closer to both Yoshimura and Ukina, they could be described as best friends despite only knowing each other for a month. But today was different as they invited Aergia to come to their shop today but there was no other customer as the shop was closed, Aergia knows what this means however it seems that they had decided to tell about themselves to him.

"So what do you guys wanted to talk about ?" Aergia asked while sitting in front of the couple. "Gia even though we only known each others for a month and become a really close friend." Gia was the nickname which was given by Ukina as she felt calling Aergia is too weird. "So after discussing we decided to tell you about our most safe guarded secret and we hope nothing changes about our relationship." Yoshimura said while his wife was holding his hand. Aergia then looked at Yoshimura, Yoshimura know that he wanted him to continue so he sighed and said, "I'm not a human but a vampire and my real name is Kuzen one of the strongest vampire to date and Ukina was an exorcist." Yoshimura and Ukina then looked down not wanting to see his closest friend face.

"So you finally decided to tell me about your real self." Aergia said making Ukina and Yoshimura surprised as they never thought that he knew about him hiding his identity. "But how Kuzen was one of the strongest vampire and he concealed his strength that even others can't feel his power." Ukina asked, "Well since you've tell me your real identity it seems fair that I told you about myself. I'm sure you've had heard about the god of bible-" They nodded but something hit their head and said before Aergia could continue, "Wait no way you're the god-"

"No I'm not the god of bible." They sighed in relief, "But you must known what he's right ?" They nodded and Ukina said "The embodiment of righteousness and the one who create the angels right ?" Aergia then hummed seems satisfied with his answer at least his former rival is still known. "Well you're half right as he's the embodiment of righteousness right now and he did create angels but he also created the world and it's content so it wouldn't be an exageration saying that he's the father of all being but he had become weaker and weaker since then so you must known what embodiment he originally was." Their eyes become wide in realization, "Creation." Ukina said.

"That's right he's originally the embodiment of creation and his name was Yahweh if your wondering. Anyway back to topics, to put it in simpler terms I'm the opposite of him and was his rival before he become weaker."Aergia said.

"WAIT, so you're the embodiment of destruction ?" Ukina said which made Yoshimura widen at the fact. "Yes but I've never really destroy anything big I'm just the embodiment of it. Anyways I also hide my real identity and so does you so it made us the same isn't it and we'll become closer anyway." The three laughed and talked for a bit while talking Aergia thought, 'Maybe Ophis could enjoy the feelings of having friend someday.' he sighed remembering his so-called sister which never actually interact with other people except him and formerly Yahweh.

[Meanwhile with Ophis]

I was mad that Aergia left for so long and haven't come back yet. Great Red was already annoying enough as he still tried to take over my home. Great Red which was sobbing in the corner of the dimensional gap 'why do this always happens to me I only tried to sleep and doing my job which was given by you and Aergia, why do you always think that I'm trying to take over your home.'
