9 Chapter 9 : WE ARE ****

#

title: WE ARE ROMA to avoid spoiler

I'm baffled. by what is standing in front of me. He looks just like me with a darker skin tone and blue hair, other parts we are identical. As the ritual finished, I felt tired all of a sudden. huh. why is it that when fighting against the roman legion I never felt fatigue but now, it becomes unbearable.

[Sleep Child, for we are one, you merely just became ROMA today. we have a lot of catching up for that body of yours.]

Suddenly I felt lightheaded as I felt my body getting tossed.

I opened my eyes and found myself in a familiar room. it's my room inside uncle Ryo's house, huh how did I end up here. Feeling hungry , I head straight towards the kitchen downstairs finding everyone here.

"Next time don't sleep on the couch ok? you'll catch a cold"

uncle Ryo said to me with a slightly worried tone.

dinner went quietly without a hitch, uncle ryo asked us what happened today and i came up with an excuse that i stayed up all night yesterday writing my novel. unconvinced, he asked me to show it to him. So I did.

"I'm not a novelist, but it seems to me that this has potential."

"Agreed"

"hmmmmmm... I don't understand.. what is this [VR]"

The last one was nanako. it seems that my novel still has a lot of hard words in it.

"Akira, I just remembered I have a colleague, if I'm not mistaken he's an editor. If you ever want to publish your work just let me know. I'll try to setup a meeting"

he's reliable is he not? uncle Ryo. as i was thinking about it suddenly his phone rang

"Dojima here"

"Huh? There's another one?"

"Hold on tight i'll be right there"

he gave out a big sigh as he got ready to leave.

"Sorry nanako, it looks like i'll be out late, something came up."

he then turned towards us before leaving.

"Sorry guys I have an urgent business to take care of please take care of nanako tonight and don't forget to lock the door"

Nanako looks lonely after he leaves, but thankfully my siscon housemate is here to save the day.

"Hey nanako, have you ever played board games?"

as he was holding out a board game called splendor out of nowhere.

"no i don't think i have"

"then lets play with both me and akira-nii"

"Really? lets play, let's play"

The game was simple, and more importantly it's fun, it seems that nanako is having a blast. We played a few rounds until nanako was yawning non stop. so we finished the game up and Yu tucked her into bed.

I myself have already retired into my room. I am planning to finish a chapter or two today. but before that.

*ring* Suddenly my phone lit up, and seeing the name on the screen, my heart skipped a beat [Nami Izakami], The goddess, the main antagonist of Persona 4. I wonder what she wants.

-Hey,Just got your message you still up?-

=Yeah, I'm writing a novel right now=

-Ah i see, are you a novelist then?-

=No, I'm not a novelist yet, it's just a hobby at the moment =

-What is it about?-

Needless to say, I spent most of my time chatting with Nami-chan. she seems nice. apparently she's a third year highschool student, at North River School. interesting. very very interesting. a goddess cosplaying as a student. but then again my persona is Romulus, so i don't think i can safely assume that this world has no connection towards the NASUVERSE.

[You called?]

"eh?"

I dropped the pen I was using as I scanned my surroundings. I can see Romulus sitting on the edge of my bed reading my history class book.

[Ah interesting, the world have evolved a lot after my time]

"EEEHHHH?"

as romulus walks toward me, he seems to be observing my work, not long after a resounding laughter

[NOW THIS IS A ROMANTIC ADVENTURE, THIS IS TRUE ROMA! CONTINUE YOUNG AKIRA! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HOW THIS WILL END! HAHAHA]

EHHHHHHHHH?

did my persona just turn into a SERVANT? OR A STAND?
