Rena went back to the canteen for an important problem. "Add, you lied to me!"

For the first time in the history, Rena used an exclamation mark.

"I asked the other teachers and they said that Ara and El weren't going to class!" Rena protested.

For the second time in the history, Rena used an exclamation mark.

Add just stares at Rena as he eats his lollipop.

"I can't believe that you can be fooled too," Ara responded, intervening the other's problem.

Rena stares at Add in panic. "Yes, you can lie to me, but you can't live without me. Remember that," Rena said, trying to calm down, and go as far as she can.

"Whoa, there's something between you two, right?" Ara smiled.

"Are you two dating?" Aisha asked, go along with Ara.

"What's that?" Add asked, ruining the situation.

"Nevermind. Forget it," Ara replied with annoyed face.

On the other side, Aisha explains excitedly about what dating is.


Els and Eve just look meters away from them. "So, that's a 'facility' Rena talking about?" Els asked.

Eve nods. "But he's a human. I think it's cruel to call him a facility".

Els nods, agrees with Eve. "Actually, it's good that there's a patrol to make people go to class".

Add walks toward Els. "El, Ara is looking for you".

Els turns his face to Add. "Um… I'm Els".

Add stares at Els for a second. "Oh. Sorry".

"I'm Eve," Eve said all of a sudden.

Add looks at Eve, then looks at Els, then looks at Eve again. "Are you two dating?"

"Add!" Els and Eve shouted. Their cheeks turn red.


"Els nii-chan! Eve nee-chan! Somebody! Help me!" Elesis ran as fast as she can. El is behind her, chasing her. Ironically, no one wants to help Elesis because they don't want to deal with El.

Finally, El approaches Elesis and holds her hand. "Gotcha!"

"E-El nii-chan! Don't kill me!" Elesis cried because she's scared.

"I'm going to torture you before I kill you—"

Elesis cried louder. "Come on, I'm just joking," El said, even he knows that whatever he said won't make Elesis calm down.

El shows a cockroach that he catched earlier in front of Elesis' face. Elesis tries to run away because she's scared of cockroach. "Cockroaches are cute," El said.

"You're mean! El nii-chan is so mean!" Elesis cried in place and waiting for her tears to run out.

Raven approaches them. "El, what are you doing this time?" Raven asked. El releases Elesis' hand. Elesis hides behind Raven immediately.

El shows the cockroach in front of Raven's face. "I just showed her this".

Raven sighs. "Throw it away. You know Elesis fear it".

"No. It's cute," El disagreed.

"You prefer that 'cute' cockroach or your sister?" Raven asked, hoping El won't come out with a weird answer.

"Cockroach," El answered shortly, making Elesis cried louder.

Congrats to Raven, the one who gave a wrong question and make Elesis sadder.

"You're so mean! What is my fault?" Elesis asked, unexpectedly curious.

El throws the cockroach, doesn't know where the cockroach thrown and hits who. "None," El answered without feeling guilty and went away.

"I can't understand what he want," Raven said to Elesis.

"Neither am I," Elesis agreed.


At night, at café, Triplet plus Add stay there for some reason.

"Plus means add and our friend's name is Add. Our author should give another name for Add!" El protested to the author. Aisha and Ara just stay silent.

"You two look so serious. What are you guys going to talk about?" El asked curiously as he stares at Aisha with serious face and Ara that unexpectedly can be serious.

"Add can lie to Rena—"

"That's crazy! You're awesome!" El shouted as he gave a pat on Add's back. "Teach me!" El shouted again.

"But you're the one who teaches me to lie," Add replied.

El sighs. "Well, you're right".

"El, I trust you as the best secret finder," Aisha looks at El, "how can she know if we were lying?"

El rolls his eyes. "I thought Ara already told you".

Aisha stares at Ara and Ara's face turns dumb like always.

"So, you two know this and you two are not telling me?!" Aisha protested to her two friends.

"Rena can read other people mind," Ara responded quickly because she doesn't want to see Aisha mad.

"Oh wow". Aisha becomes speechless.

"Add, can you empty your mind?" El asked. Add nods.

"Oh wow". Aisha becomes more speechless. This time, El and Ara become speechless too.

Silence filled the room.

"This is a hot chocolate, right?" Add asked as he looked at cup in front of him.

"Of course~" Ara answered with for-some-reason-she-really-happy. Maybe 'the more stupid you are, the happier you are' quote is right.

"Add, what's that mean before?" Aisha asked.

In this case, Aisha is really curious about a relationship between Rena and Add. Maybe she really likes Add.

"Not that!" Aisha protested to the author while she's blushing.

"Which one?" Add asked back.

"Rena said that you can't live without her," Aisha answered with a slightly sad tone.

"Aaw… Aisha is jealous~" Ara teased Aisha and smiled.

"Ara!" Aisha's face turns redder.

"Jealous?" Add asked.

"Add, just ignore Ara and answer my question!" Aisha protested.

"You were like someone that just broke up," El commented, intervening them.

Ara stares at Add. "You don't know what jealous is, do you?"

"No".

"If I can install a dictionary inside your brain, I'll install it right now," Ara responded with an annoyed face because she spent this day to become a not-complicated-words dictionary for Add.

"Jealous is… you're not happy if someone else is luckier than you," El said, ready to become a complicated-words dictionary for Add.

"What is happy?" Add asked again.

El slams the table. "Okay. Install it right now".

Add still looking at El, waiting for an answer.

"Happy is… you feel like there's nothing troubling you, more like you love it," El answered lazily. Add still looking at El. "What? You want to know what love is?" El asked with an annoyed tone.

"Baby don't hurt me~" Ara sang happily.

"I want to know what annoyed is, too," Add said, mentioning a word that used by the author.

"Add, answer my question," Aisha said, can't wait to hear Add's answer.

"I don't know," Add replied, making Aisha disappointed.

"What is disappointed?" Add asked to the author.


For everyone's sake, let's skip it to the midnight, in Aisha's and Ara's bedroom.

Aisha woke up because she feels the urge to go to the toilet. Aisha hears Ara that probably is training to use her darkness power. "Are you not sleepy yet?" Aisha asked.

Ara summons a black ball in her hand. "Isn't that cool?!" Ara shouted happily. "Aisha, did you see that?!"

"Sorry, no. It's dark," Aisha replied, making Ara disappointed.

"That's the first something-connected-to-darkness that came out from my hand," Ara responded with full of disappointment.

Ara just realizes that Aisha went to the toilet while she was speaking.

A few minutes later, Aisha back to her bed. "Ara, can I ask you something?"

"Yea. What is it?"

"Actually, how did you learn magic before?" Aisha asked.

Ara stays silent and Aisha waits for her to answer.

"I explain it tomorrow, okay?" Ara replied. Ara pulls up her blanket and falls asleep quickly.


The next morning, Ara and Aisha walks to the class. "What day is it today? I want some holiday," Ara said.

"Friday. Besides, there will be two days off and next week there's a tournament, so—"
"Yes! No need to go to class!" Ara cutted Aisha words happily before Aisha can finish her sentence.

Aisha sees Add eating his lollipop. Aisha waves her hand. "Add!"

Add turns to Aisha and waves his hand back.

"Oh? Are you trying to get closer to him?" Ara teased as she smiled to Aisha.

"Ara, please stop that," Aisha replied softly with a threatening tone and cheeks that turns red.

" 'Please stop that'," Ara said, mimicking Aisha. "It won't be a problem if you're honest to yourself".

"Ara—"

"Wow. Ara is going to class," El replied as he approached them.

Ara smiles. "I can show you what you want," Ara said as she summons black ball in her hand.

"Cool," El commented with a smile.

Ara proud of herself. "Don't worry! I'll beat you with this!"

"You need more than that to beat me," El said, proud with himself too.

School bell rings. "Okay! I'm going to rank up," Ara said as she go to class with full of happiness. Aisha entered the class.

El approaches Add. "You already returned Ara's student ID card, right?"

"No," Add said with a monotone voice. "You're going to class, right?"

"Never," El replied.

"But you have to".

"Why?"

"So I can get a lollipop," Add said as he swallows up the lollipop.

El stares at Add confusedly. "From whom? What for?"

"From Rena. For me to eat. It's sweet," Add said.

"How many times Rena gave you a lollipop?"

"Five".

El still stares at Add confusedly. "Rena giving a lollipop?" El asked to himself.

"El, go to class," finally our 'something' teacher, Rena, approached El.

"You never give me a lollipop," El said to Rena all of a sudden.

"What for? You're a teenager," Rena replied confusedly.

"You never give Elesis a lollipop," El said.

"Do I have to?" Rena becomes more confused.

"Why does Add get a lollipop?" El asked curiously.

"Because he loves sweets. You know, one of diabetes victim in the future," Rena said plainly.

"Ara loves sweets too," El replied.

"So?" Rena looks at El, feeling skeptical.

"Can I have one?" El asked as he lend his hand.

"No," Rena answered shortly.

"Ah, okay". Finally, El gives up and go to the school rooftop like always.

"El, go to class," Rena commanded.

El stares at Rena with a smile. "I'll tell Raven".

"Okay, please don't". Finally Rena gives up too.

After that, they go to their place except Add that doesn't know where to go.


"Els, I leveled up!" Eve shouted and showed her new student ID card with 'rank: E' in it when the school was over.

I, as an author, forgot to tell you the higher your rank, the cheaper the cost to buy something. It's not a surprise if El always begging for money, even stealing.

Els claps his hand. "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you".

Treat remaining: seven.

Every time Eve ranks up, Els will treat her. That means she needs seven times to rank up to reach SSS.

Eve holds Els' hand. "I want fettuccine!"

They go to the canteen. Els ordered a food that Eve wants for the two of them.

"So delicious!" Eve shouted as she enjoys her food with full of happiness.

"What do you want to drink?" Els asked.

"Milkshake! Strawberry milkshake!" Eve shouted. She's too happy. Maybe because she's treated.


Meanwhile, Elesis stands in front of school like always, waiting for Els and Eve that won't come because they're enjoying themselves at the canteen.

Elesis sees someone she doesn't want to see, El. According to Elesis' principle, within radius of 10 meters, Elesis will run away as far as she can from El.

Unfortunately, Elesis was too late to run as far as she can so she's chased by El (part 2).

"Els nii-chan! Eve nee-chan! Somebody! Help me!" Elesis shouted, waiting for help. Ironically, like yesterday, nobody help her.

Elesis approaches Raven that luckily right in front of her and hides behind him.

"So, Elesis love being with Raven now," El said while he approached Elesis.

"…what?" Raven becomes confuse.

"Maybe I have to tell everyone now," El said to himself, mentioning about Rena's secret.

"You promise you won't tell anyone," Rena said from behind El with threatening tone. Even the author doesn't get a permission to spread her secret.

"I'm not afraid if you're going to threaten me," El smiled to Rena.

"What did you do to Elesis?" Rena asked as she sees Elesis hides behind Raven.

"I just chased her," El answered without feeling guilty.

"He wanted to kill me," Elesis responded.

El sighs. "Rena, you're… something, right?"

Rena stares at El confusedly. "What make you say that?"

"What kind of trauma she has with me?" El asked as he points his finger to Elesis.

Rena stares at Elesis, then stares back at El. "Why don't you ask Els?"

"That's complicated—okay then," El said and left them.


Ara hits her head to the table at canteen. "I can't rank up today!"

"What happened?" Aisha asked, still relax and not care if Ara hurts herself.

"I need my student ID card to rank up and Add has it!" Ara protested and hits her head to the table for the last time.

"How can Add has it?" Aisha asked curiously.

Ara tells that she found out lying to Add because of El who stole her student ID card plus her money and her student ID card returned to Add, but Ara forgot to take it back.

"Do you want me to take it?" Aisha asked, offering some help.

"Oh, sure. I know you will be REALLY happy to be alone with Add," Ara smiled and back to her happy life.

Aisha sighs. "Why are you so happy talking about that?"

"Because you said 'just now he caught my attention' at the rooftop," Ara answered.

"What I mean about that is when Add teleported El back to his place!" Aisha protested.

Aisha put an innocent face. "Oh".

Add approaches them quickly using nasod dynamo. "Cool!" Ara shouted with sparkling eyes as she sees Add landed on the ground.

Add returns the student ID card that Ara need it the most. "Sorry, I forgot to return it," Add apologized.

"No," Ara replied with annoyed face. Add stay silent, stares at Ara. Ara stares back at Add and sighs. "I'm just joking. I forgive you," Ara continued because looks like Add doesn't know anything about jokes.

Aisha and Add turns silence. Ara just stares at them.

"Are you alright? Why you look pale?" Ara asked as she stares at Add.

"My head hurts," Add answered. In fact, he doesn't look like having a headache.

"According to a book I read, a person that having a headache means he has to drink more water!" Aisha shouted as she puts out her bottle of water from her bag.

"We used that to keep a poison, right?" Ara asked as she pointed her finger to Aisha's bottle of water.

"I already clean it," Aisha replied and gave her bottle of water to Add. Add drinks it quickly.

"Indirect kiss!" Ara shouted.

"Ara!" Aisha blushes.

"Sorry. It's a reflex," Ara apologized.

"No," Aisha replied with an annoyed face, mimicking Ara. Ara stays silent, waiting for the next sentence. "I'm serious," Aisha continued.

"But I'm not serious," Ara responded.

"Okay. Whatever," Aisha replied and gave up on this weird debate.


"Really?!" Eve shocked after hearing Els words.

"Really. I checked the list of team for tournament yesterday and one of them is 'El and Add'," Els said with a serious face.

"Is that allowed?" Eve asked curiously. Els shrugs his shoulders.

"Strawberry milkshake? I want it!" El shouted the moment he approached them and points his finger to the glass of milkshake at the table.

"El, are you allowed to team up with Add?" Eve asked, while the aforementioned person is here.

"Of course," El answered shortly. El looks at Els, "hey Els, the one who stares at the tournament poster for a long time, tell us the rules".

There must be 2 participants in 1 team

Team up with a teacher is forbidden

If there were a cheater, the team will be disqualified

"There's no 'Team up with a facility is forbidden' rule," El said.

"Actually it's kinda cruel to call him a facility," Eve replied, not happy if El called Add as a facility.

"This school considers him as a facility. What are we gonna do about it?" El asked to Eve, sounds don't know what to do about that 'facility' nickname.

"So, what are you doing in here?" Els asked, slightly annoyed because Els know El won't come to bring something good.

"Does Elesis have any trauma with me? Why does she always run away from me?" El asked with an innocent face.

Els rolls his eyes. "There are plenty of reasons for that. You often scared her with a cockroach, locked her inside of school locker, threw marbles while she's walking so she'll slipped plus the other victims, pushed her to a river in winter, electrocuted her with electro shock handshake toy—"

"Oh," El still stays with his innocent face.

"By the way, are you guys kissing already?" El asked quickly, making Els and Eve blush.

"Okay. I'll know if you guys did that," El continued because looks like Els and Eve become speechless. To be exact, they're shocked because El knows that they're dating. No need to doubt the best secret finder.


El walks toward his friends. "Ara, why are your forehead red?" El asked as he looked at Ara's forehead.

"She's frustrated and hit her head on the table," Aisha replied.

"Why? Can't rank up?" El smiled.

"Yes. Happy?" Ara looks really annoyed.

"Of course not". Unexpected answer from a person like El. "If your rank were higher, I can ask you for a food," El continued, unexpectedly we can guess that.

Ara slams the table. "El, my money!"

"I already save it," El said without feeling guilty. "All of them are secured by my phoru bank!"

"What can I eat now?!"

"Lollipop?" Indirectly, El mention about Add's daily food.

El looks at Add. "Add, where's your sixth lollipop?"

"I didn't get it because you're not going to class," Add answered tonelessly, but the truth is he really wants a lollipop.

"Guys! I want to tell something!" Ara shouted all of a sudden. Everybody looks at Ara.

"Oh, good. Quick, tell us how you learnt magic before," El smiled.

"How did you know I want to tell that? You learn that from Rena?" Ara shocked.

"Oh, am I right?" El shocked as well.


3 years ago, at Ara's house.

"Someday, I'll beat you, onii-san!" Ara shouted to her brother, Aren, who will go for a job. Aren have a job as a defense captain at Fahrmann's capital. "And then, if I won, I'm going to stab you with this spear!" Ara continued as she plays with her spear.

Aren laughs. "Don't do that. What if I die?"

"Mom said, if someone died, he's going to be a star" Ara shouted as she points her finger to the sky that still bright, there's a sun, and no sign of star.

Aren holds Ara's shoulders. "Ara, I hope that one day you would be smarter—"

"Don't worry!" Ara cutted Aren's words, clearly make Aren even more worried.

Aren sighs. "Okay then. I'm off".

"Bye, onii-san! If there were one more star at the sky, I'll consider that you're dead!" Ara shouted as she waves her hands with happiness. What an insolent sister.

One month later, Ara's family heard a bad news about Aren. Aren possessed by a demon and he's not going to be the same way again.

Ara takes her spear. "Onii-san will be back to normal!" Ara cried.

Ara's mom stares at Ara. "Ara, you need a magical power".

"Magic?"

Her mom nods. "You can't match a demon power with just a spear".

Ara stares back at her mom. "Gimme some magical power!"

At midnight, they do a ritual to give Ara a magical power by force. Her mom says a mantra.

"Spile guro fiela dien ouscale aru kiuxe projeitle surocie".

Ara feels pain in her body. She feels like being mutilated. At the same time, she feels like she lost her life.

After painful things Ara experienced, she feels like she's reborn because she still alive.

At 6 in the morning, Ara told to go to the school to master her new magical power. Ara plays with ice in her hand. "Cool!" Ara shouted, proud of herself.


After hearing that story, Aisha can imagine how painful it is, while Add stay silent and El thinks about other thing.

"I understand why your brain is kinda broken," El commented after hearing Ara's story and receives a bunch of protest from Ara.

So, this is what El think. What kind of parents that said 'you need a magical power' if in this world, magical power are useless? What kind of parents that ordered their child to learn magical power by force so she have to feel pain? What kind of parents that not save their eldest child, but told their youngest child to save their eldest child? What kind of parents that ordered their youngest child to go to school while their eldest child is possessed by a demon? What kind of parents that teaches their child when someone dies, they become a star in the sky?

The answer is a stupid parents and this is their future generation, Ara.


Looks like this story is going nowhere lol

Anyway, thanks for reading!
