Yuji doesn't have an idea where he was. What he knows is that he's in a place where silence is enveloping him.

"Where am I?"

"Seireiden." A petite girl in white told him as she appeared from nowhere.

"Who are you?"

"Itadaki no Kura…Hecate."

Yuji suddenly felt uneasy because of the presence before him. She seemed gentle, but she can kill him instantly within just a snap of a finger.

I must get away from here or else…

"Mystes of Reiji Maigo, I don't have the intention of hurting you nor consuming your existence."

"You can read my thoughts?"

Hecate nodded.

"What's the purpose of me being here in Seireiden?"

I want to feel…unempty.

"What?"

He doesn't know what's going on. The only thing he did was toclose his eyes for hoping that Shana will suddenly come to save him, but he was wrong. Yuji felt that Hecate gently placed her hand on his chest. He opened his eyes to look at his glowing chest and felt something within the treasure tool inside him. Then, he stared at Hecate's face. She looks harmless. He felt captivated by her. If he met this girl earlier than Shana, it'll be probable that he'll fell in love with her despite of being a tomogara that can consume his existence anytime.

"Sakai Yuji." She said in a gentle tone while staring at him. "I won't forget that name of yours."

Hecate…

Yuji felt something warm on his lips. It was Hecate who kissed him, and a strange feeling came into him that makes him want to close his eyes and kiss her back.


Yuji woke up with a load in his mind. He touched his lips while recalling what he dreamt last night. Should I tell Shana about this? He shook his head. No. Maybe I shouldn't.

A couple of days had passed. Yuji and Shana were on their way to school. To break the silence between them, he asked her question.

"Umm..Hey Shana, I want to ask this a few days ago. Is there a tomogara named Hecate?

Upon hearing a familiar name, Shana stopped in her tracks with her eyes wide opened. "Where did you know that name?" She asked.

"Don't answer my question with another question. Just who is she?"

Shana gritted her teeth, she faced him and sighed. "One of the Holy Trinity…a tomogara. You should stay away from her, but don't worry, that's why I'm protecting you."

Shana's vague answer came with Yuji's vague expression.

"Why did you ask?"

Yuji was about to speak when they suddenly hear a chiming sound and the blue color of the morning sky turned into crimson. A fuzetsu was casted.

They looked above. They saw 3 figures; the one is a woman with long dark hair and wearing an eye patch, a gray-haired man wearing shades and holding a spear, and the last one is a petite girl wearing a white robe, a hat, and holding a staff that is taller than her.

"The Holy Trinity!" Shana exclaimed as she took out her sword from her black cape.

Yuji saw the familiar girl from his dream. Instead of being afraid, he smiled. Hecate…

Shana looked at him and frowned. She had no clue what Yuji is thinking right now.

Meanwhile, Hecate glared at Shana. Then, she shifted her eyes to Yuji and gave him a gentle look.

"Sakai Yuji, we meet again." She said with a smile.
