Here's the alternate version of my other TWGOK story (It's the Ending for Us). What's the difference about them? Well, you'll have to find out about it as the story progresses! This story is uploaded now because I was still a bit tired yesterday, sorry! But here it is, enjoy the fic!
The World God Only Knows
The End of Our Short Time
Chapter 1 – The Report in the Morning
It was a really quiet and peaceful morning in the weekend as people of Maijima City were still asleep after a long week of studying and working. The blue-haired former valedictorian was still in deep sleep while her buddy was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. The sleeping devil turned on her bed, occasionally whispering the name of the man she had a crush on. The peaceful and quiet morning didn't last forever, as the skull-shaped runaway spirit sensor on the table beside the devil's bed rang.
"DORODORODORO!" the sensor rang.
"Ugh… I wonder what the government wants from me this early in the morning…" the blue-haired district chief, Haqua, complained before she sat up on her bed and took her sensor, "This is Haqua, what seems to be the problem?"
"Haqua, this is Dokuro Skull. There have been no reports about a runaway spirit lurking in the human world anymore. The loose soul that was sent by Elsie last night was the very last one, but one of the most powerful one," Dokuro explained through the sensor.
"Well, it's good then…" Haqua replied as she let out a silent yawn.
"One more thing, Haqua," Dokuro continued as Haqua growled in annoyance and lied back down on her bed and put her sensor beside her. "Since there are no more spirits lurking in the human world, the members of the loose soul must go back to Hell by midnight. The loose soul capturing team members will not be able to go back there without permission from the government. We will release the contract once the whole members have gathered."
"Okay, I got it Chief…" Haqua said with an annoyed tone as she took her sensor.
"W-Wait! Haqua, please tell-" Dokuro hadn't finished her sentence as Haqua had already cut the transmission.
"What a bother…" Haqua commented before she tried going back to sleep. As soon as she pulled back her blanket, Yukie called her.
"Hacchan! Breakfast is ready!" Yukie called from downstairs, but Haqua pulled her blanket higher so the blanket covered her head.
'Let me sleep a little longer! I'm really tired!' Haqua thought as she heard the sound of Yukie's footsteps was getting closer.
Yukie opened the door and pulled Haqua's blanket. "Hacchan, it's morning! Let's go downstairs and eat some breakfast!" Yukie looked at Haqua, who was looking back at her with tired eyes. Haqua stared at her for a moment and closed her eyes again before turning so her back faced the middle-aged woman. Yukie tried shaking her a little, but the tired devil didn't bother getting up from her bed.
"Yukie, I'm really tired… Let me sleep for a few more minutes…" Haqua responded tiredly.
"Okay then, I'll put your breakfast in the table. I'm going to deliver drinks now…" Yukie said as she left the room.
'Finally, some peace and quiet…' Haqua thought before she went back to sleep.
Haqua eventually fell asleep for a couple more hours before she woke up again. She got dressed and went downstairs to eat her breakfast while thinking about the report she received earlier.
'So all of the loose souls have been captured… It feels like it was yesterday that I came here… I wonder if Elsie got this report from Nora…' Haqua paused for a moment, 'Well, I'll just visit her after I'm done!'
Haqua finished her breakfast and flew to the Katsuragi house. She landed in front of the house and heard a small explosion coming from inside the house. She knocked on the door and waited for her best friend to come and open the door for her, but much to her surprise, it was the brown-haired teen who opened the door.
"K-Katsuragi! W-Well, I'm not here to visit you actually…" Haqua said as she turned away to hide her blushing face. 'I forgot that Katsuragi is here!' Haqua thought. "I-Is Elsie home?"
Before the God of Conquest could reply, the black-haired devil popped out from behind him, "Haqua! What are you doing here at this hour?" she asked cheerfully, but Haqua quickly dragged Elsie out of the house. Haqua turned back to Keima with a threatening look.
"Don't you dare eavesdropping on us, Katsuragi!" Haqua said with a threatening look.
"Fine, whatever… I'm going to continue with my games anyway…" Keima replied as Haqua growled angrily.
"I'm sorry, Haqua… Kami-sama sometimes says things without even thinking first…" Elsie said as Haqua calmed down. "But why are you here?"
"Did you get a report from Nora or Chief Dokuro this morning?" Haqua asked.
"I didn't get anything… What kind of report is it?" Elsie asked.
"It was a report about releasing the contract. Chief Dokuro woke me up this morning to give me that report…" Haqua explained.
"Eh!? If the contract is about to be released, then all of the loose souls have been captured, right?" Elsie asked again as Haqua nodded.
"Yes, and since there are no loose souls left here, we are told to leave the human world," Haqua continued. "She also told me that we had to go back some time around midnight, and we probably won't be coming back here ever again."
"Oh, it's all over now…" Elsie lowered her head sadly.
"Well, I have to get going now! I have to get packing soon!" Haqua said as she flew away back home, but suddenly stopped, 'Oh, I almost forgot!' she thought as she flew back to Elsie. Elsie saw that Haqua came back, "Elsie! Don't let Katsuragi know about this yet!" Haqua shouted and Elsie nodded sadly before wiping a tear from her face. The former valedictorian took a moment to look her sobbing friend entering the house before flying away with a frown on her face.
'It's a good thing that I remember about that…' Haqua sighed in relief, 'Chief Dokuro said that we won't be able to go back here… then I won't be able to see Katsuragi again…' Haqua sighed sadly. 'Well, I don't plan to become the wife of a human anyway… W-Wait a minute!' Haqua suddenly stopped. 'N-No way, no way, no way! A wife of Katsuragi…' Haqua lowered her head and blushed, 'N-No! There's no way that I want to be the wife of that pervert! No, Haqua! Just let go of him! Let go of your feelings for him!' Haqua put her hands on her chest and paused for a moment before she continued flying back home in silence.
Haqua landed in front of her house and looked at her house sadly, 'This is my last day in this house…'
Expect some slow update of my stories for the preparation of the mass update. I'm also going to learn some Japanese and Chinese (Chinese is for high school, but Japanese isn't). The other version of this story, It's the Ending for Us might be put on hold for a little while. I'm really sorry about it, but I hope that the mass update will make up for it all. I'll also add a poll later on, so don't forget to check my profile! Last but definitely not least, don't forget to leave a review!
EDIT: I've updated this story and checked most of the errors and stuff, but most of the plot flow haven't changed. The story was initially planned before the introduction of the goddesses, but I'll add that part in the future chapters.
