When Will This Day Be Over

"I missed you."

Tears fell from her eyes as she pressed her face against my neck. Her silent sobs deftly impacted my ears as an aching pain struck my heart.

I promised before I would never let a woman of mine cry, but I can't seem to keep that promise.

Letting out a wry smile as I felt her weeping in my arms, I placed my hand on top of her head and gently patted it.

It worked beautifully as she seemed to calm down from her crying. As she felt my caresses on her head, she looked up at me with her eyes swollen from her tears.

"What took you so long."

I didn't know how to answer that, I mean I just met her, but this same nagging feeling came up again. The same thing happened when I first met Scarlett.

'Hahh, just who are all these women? Every time I meet someone new, they're somewhat directly or indirectly related to me.'

Seeing my face seemingly lost in thought, Leviathan nudged her head in between my neck.

"Erin, it's fine… as long as you're back."

"Erin?"

Hearing me with a questioning tone in my voice, Leviathan reacted by tilting her head up, her eyes opened wide in worry.

"Erin. That's your name. It's Erin right?"

"I'm sorry, but my name is Luke. This Erin you're talking about, I don't know who he is."

Hearing my response her face was overtaken by surprise then disbelief.

"No… it can't be. It has to be you, Erin. Your face, your eyes, your voice. They're all you."

Her voice began to break down the more she continued.

"I… I'm sorry. I don't think I'm the one you're looking for."

The moment I finished what I was saying, Leviathan dropped to her knees as tears fell down her face.

"Impossible. I thought it worked… was everything that we did… useless?"

Seeing her depressed and on her knees I couldn't help but reach my hand and call out to her.

"Leviathan."

Hearing her name said out loud, she snapped her head back toward me.

Her gaze was completely different than earlier.

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY MY NAME!"

Suddenly the ground beneath us sunk from her powerful screech. The pressure that disappeared came back tenfold pushing my body down once more.

"Ugh! Leviathan… wait, listen to me!"

"SHUT UP!"

"AHH!"

The weight on me doubled again, I can feel the bones of my ribs creaking from the pressure as if thousands of people climbed on top of me.

As I felt the pain increasingly spread all over my body, more and more of my bones breaking in each second, an epiphany came up in my mind.

'If I can summon her… then I'll just bring her back!'

I immediately opened up my stats with a voice in my head to quickly unsummon Leviathan.

But as I tried to a new notification came up.

[Leviathan's emotional distress has increased sporadically. Attempt in desummoning can lead to catastrophic consequences.]

[Do you wish to proceed?]

{Yes} {No}

'Shit!'

I couldn't help but curse at the stupendous situation I'm in. If I don't unsummon her I will die, but if I do she will get hurt?

Hahh what bullshit is this?!

"AHHH!"

My body nearly caved in as I lay on the ground on all fours. The bones in my hands were nearly broken as blood began to pour out of my chest from my ribs piercing through.

Leviathan continued to wail adding on to the pain in my body, my ears ringing from the volume of her voice.

'Fuck! What am I supposed to do!'

Out of anything I've ever done in my life, nothing has come close to this. The pain in my body and my heart is indescribable. I can't help but think about what I've done in my past life that left me broken and suffering like this.

Suddenly saving me from death, my body barely holding on to dear life, Leviathan miraculously calmed herself down.

The immense pressure decreased immense, albeit slightly still there, it was more or less tolerable ame ouch for me to stand up.

Finally given some leg room I activated [Skin of Entropy] hoping that the description screamed true. Thankfully it did, the wounds I've taken a bang to recover, slowly but surely.

The orange and black armor covered my entire figure, and I can feel the orange energy flowing through my veins healing the broken bones inside my body.

The feeling of my bones reconstructing in real time felt very surreal, like being awake during surgery. I've never had one before, but if I were to describe how it feels then this is probably the best description.

As my body began to heal I can feel a certain gaze directed towards me. I couldn't help but flinch slightly from it as it felt like when I first arrived here. The sensation of being watched by such a massive creature is recreated perfectly by this tiny woman.

Feeling her gaze looming all over my body, I took it upon myself to demonstrate to her that I mean no harm.

Despite her being clearly stronger than me, I understand that her emotional state right now can be surmounted by a woman's monthly endeavor. I've had my fair share of experience from both Yoimiya and Laura, so I'm quite savvy in this kind of field.

I crouched down to make myself appear more comfortable.

"A-Ah ow… tututu here we go."

I endured the immense pain in my chest as I can feel my bones shifting into place in every move I make, and sat comfortably in front of her.

"Leviathan… I'm listening."

The best thing for a woman in distress is not a man to solve their problems, but to listen to them instead.

I learned this the hard way.

"…"

At first, she was quiet, seemingly wary of my actions, but soon she began to approach me.

The way she's acting reminds me of a wild rabbit. Shy and super cute.

But in comparison, she's more like a world-ending bunny than a normal cotton ball.

As I delved into my inner thoughts, Leviathan finally found herself in front of me on all fours.

Her expression was full of guilt and sadness, it seemed that her outburst earlier was just the eons of nonphysical contact being released.

"I'm listening."

"Ugh… uh… WAHH!"

Leviathan, the titan god-like being, that nearly made me shit my pants, is now cutely crying in my arms.

Today hasn't even ended yet, but I feel like a hundred years just passed.
