Chapter 5 - Lazy Guy III

[Part one]

Zaekryl's POV and ["Complaints"]

Without my notice I ended up walking nowhere, without a goal in mind I keep walking and did nothing that requires an effort. Days have passed and I'm still walking in a continuous hell. Now that I think about it, I have no sense of direction. Just like how I died few years ago, I was supposed to go to school when I took a look closely at the place I am going to was... the airport. what would a high school kid go to airport on a stormy day? yeah its me! it's me Zaekryl Nagasaki, and no one else. It's only a bit chance of possibility that I could ran into Sci-ki again. and unconsciously, I somehow ended up on a field of beautiful flowers. Why is a field of flowers in the middle of a dark and dangerous forest?

the flowers was bright and refreshing, the air too. while I stick out because of my color pick. what's wrong with black? what's wrong with loving black? People says it's jejemon and weird! I'm all black! what's wrong with it.?!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What is this? my eyes are blurry and tears keep flowing out, I'm even hallucinating that seeing Sci-ki running towards me,

"Sci-ki-kun!!!"

"Zaekryl-kun? is that you?"

I can even hear Sci-ki's voice now, I think I already am crazy

"Zaekryl-kun are you okay?"

Oh yeah, of coure, an illusion of Sci-ki is also kind and concerned.

WAIT!

Wiping off my tears with my own arms, I could see it clearly now. it's not an illusion nor my hallucinations, it's really...

'SCI-KI-KUN!!!!!!!!!!"

I jumped at him out of joy.

"Sci-ki-no! -Yan! I'll call you Yan from now on!"

"Zaekryl-kun I'm very glad to see again too, so can you please get down... I can hardly breathe... "

I went down as what Yan told me. and he asked if what am I doing here outside the forest.

"Outside? I'm outside the forest?"

"Yes, are you okay?"

[Part Two]

Sci-ki's POV

After parting ways with a strange person I met yesterday is still a little bit sad, though, we were only together for a short time.

I took responsibility of the kid I saved from yesterday's ruckus and stopped by a physician's place after reaching the village.

The doctor said that she will get better in a few days. looks like I wasn't too late. She looks hungry, and I fed her the cows fresh milk I received from the kind old lady the other day before entering the forest.

I can also recall her advice, that I should avoid making a contact with a pointy-eared man. Is she perhaps referring to Zaekryl? Zaekryl seems like a good person and even helped me.

Zaekryl was very cool yesterday, I wonder what kind of magic he uses to defeat that monster, it was like POP! it disappeared in a second. and to think that I would separate with a strong person like him is very sad, though his clothes looks very peculiar, especially his shoes and the bag he carries. Is he an elf? he's got pointy ears after all. Guess, I shouldn't let my thoughts run wild due to some suspicions.

After feeding her some fresh milk I received, she fell asleep well. the next day I found later on after checking on her that her broken left arm are completely healed, I guess that fresh milk was a healing potion. I'm very glad that she can move now. I should thank that old lady I met.

"Little miss, how do you feel?"

"T-thank you, big brother! for saving me... if not for you I would have... waaaah!!" She cried and cried. I eased her up and wipes her tears.

"Little miss, may I ask what is your name?"

"My name? mm... I... don't... have one..."

S-she doesn't have a name! W-what should I call her then?!

Days have passed and this little girl and I seemed to get along fine, when we decided to come to the near field of flowers to pick some.

When we just arrived, I coincidentally saw Zaekryl, he looks distress and I thought that I could offer some kind of help.

"Zaekryl-kun?"

He shout out my name and jumped at me on joy. he looks like he is crying what's wrong with him?

"Zaekryl, why are you outside the forest alone?" I asked.

"Huh? O-outside the forest? me? I went out?" he replied as he seemed very shocked.

"What's wrong are you okay? do you feel sick?" I asked.

After seeing him distressed earlier was a surprise and he suddenly became joyful after seeing me, and once again he became distress all of a sudden.

After helping him calm down I let him rest for a while at the small house near. I left him with little missy for minute to bring back some ice and towels. however when I touched his forehead.

he was cold.

like 20 degree Celsius temperature? he's like a dead corpse or is he? did he just died?

"Missy! I leave him to you for a while, I'll go get some heater..."
