Prologue

The dream is finally over and I'm back in this world with all my friends, and my final wish came true. And to celebrate my return, my friends are throwing a huge party.

"Ayu, you're going to have a great time." Yuichi pushes my wheelchair and Nayuki is also with him.

"We really need to fix that hair." Nayuki said with her index finger pressed against her chin, thinking of a new way to style my hair.

"You're right Nayuki, with that hair; she really does look like a 10 year old boy!"

"Ugu, Yuichi, I'm a girl and you know it!"

It seems like I really hate Yuichi's teasing, but I love it, and I love Yuichi. I also love Nayuki. They are my family now. I've been living with them after my parent said they didn't want to raise me again. I feel like a burden to Akiko though.

My wheelchair stopped moving.

"We're here." Yuichi took a deep breath, and then took me inside.

"Welcome to Wilkes's co splay café! How can Sayuri assist you today?"

Sayuri Kurata, in a maid outfit! I turned my head and saw Yuichi, he was practically drooling. Oh god, he took me here for my birthday.

"Table for six, and I would like to order three strawberry sundaes."

"Okay, follow Sayuri this way." We followed Sayuri to an open booth and a few minutes later, we got our sundaes.

Nayuki finished her before I could take a second bite. She looked at my sundae with puppy dog eyes.

"Of course I can share my sundae, Nayuki."

I thought this day would end happy, but I was horribly wrong. The winter of 2000 was when the horrible bloodbath in this small town occurred.
