CHAPTER 48: A Talk Between Two Fortunate Souls

Angel's Point Of View

After eating Dinner I was trying to help them by picking up the dishes and then eash them but I was not allowed to do so. "Don't do that Angel, let me clean the dishes". Big Sister Eugene said to me. "But, I was being taken care by Big Brother so I thought doing the dishes might please him". I stated with a bit of shyness as I said it to her. Then she smiled at me. "You're so considerate you know that". She said likely complimenting me. "I was in debt to him so I thought I shall do my best to aide him". I replied to her that made her smile.

"You're a pure kid, I myself was doing the same". She said to me that made me wonder. "What was the reason all of you became so attached to him?". I asked her as she smile as she finished washing the dishes. "You want to hear?". She asked so I nod without any sort of hesitation. That made her guide me to sit beside her. "For me, It's a bit similar to yours I guess". She said that made me interested. "What do you mean by that?". I asked her as she caress my hair. " The truth is that, I was recently a beggar before meeting them". She said that surprised me.

"Y-You werre". I said that made her nod. "Are you aware of prejudice of being a Magicless aren't you?". She asked me so I nod. "Yes! it was said that they were abandoned by the Gods or something like being cursed". I said the things that I was taught. "So because of being that, I was dumped by my family saying that I was a failure". She said as she shed tears. "How cruel! to disown someone, but I was not the one to talk". I said as I realize something. "Don't you agree". She uttered. "Yes they were, so wharlt happened then?". I asked her again for her to talk a bout more.

"Then, I wandered around walking, jot knowing where I was going to go, I think then I must live no matter what happens". She said as she paused breathing so heavily. "Not having any means to survive only this sword, I was hopeless". She muttered with great regret in her tone. " But then they appeared and gave me light warm but also gentle". She said to me as she smile so brightly. "Ironically, Zero taught me something about the secret of My Grandfather that even my own family didn't know". She said to me.

"Then that's their Karma so what did you learn about your Gandpa?". I asked her. "That there is another type of energy aside from Mana, and that energy made me strong ". She replied that intrigued me. "There is a different energy? what's that suppose to mean?". I said with curiosity. "It is called Ki apparently this is what made my Ancestor became unrivaled". She said with pride for her Ancestor. "Really!". I said to her. "Yes, let's say can you feal my presence?". She asked that made me realized that I can't. "No, I can't". I said with honesty. "That's the reason, now imagine now that is a advantage and using Ki I can feel your location so what would happen then?". She asked me. "That's very unpredictable since You can't sense someone so before that not long they'll end up being taken out one by one". I said that made her nod. "And that's why I can't leave his side, he gave me hope and courage so I want him to see my progresses every time". She said with such determined voice. Then after that we get to the dining table where the Others were waiting for us.

"So shall we go to bath?". Big Sister Kitsune asked that the other's were very reluctant and agreed. "Is it really fune to bath together?". I asked that made them look at me. "Yesit is fine, because the bath were shared by groups". Big Sister Merleona says. So not wanting to be left I also followed them as they lead to go into a spacious bath.Thus, the jiggling melon revealed themselves. Then after that very rough moment I was escorted to bed. I tried to sleep but I can't make my body to sleep so I get off the bed and leave the room.

Zero's Point Of View

I was so agitated that I can't bring myself to sleep. I tried every angle I could think of but it didn't work. I feel very bothered. Then I hear a knock on my door. "Who's there?". I asked in a very calm voice. "Its me, Angel". The person behind the door replied so I then opened the door letting her to enter. "Why were you here?". I asked her with concerned tone. "I can't sleep". She casually said. "So you can't sleep too". I said to her. "Yes, It's like aI can't sleep in my own or I was just very concious for me to sleep". She said to me with a very frustrated tone. "You wre in Homing Instinct state, that's why you can't sleep". I stated that made her curious. "Homing Instinct?". She says like wanting a explanation. "It's like how a caged bird will return in it's cage even if the cage was unlocked because it lived in that making it his home". I explained to her.

"Then can I sleep with you?". She asked. "Okay". I said as I leave a space for her to lie down. "Then won't you want me to sing?". I said thst made her smile and nod instantly upon hearing it as she close her eyes. And so I began to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are".

"Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky".

"Twinkle, twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are".

"When the blazing sun is gone

When he nothing shines upon".

"Then you show your little light

Twinkle, twinkle, all the night".

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are".

Upon finishing the song I look at her and realized that she already slept snoring weakly as I look at a face of a little angel.
