A/N: Hey there guys/girls it's me, with the sixth chapter of my story. I bet this chapter will be short though… or maybe it's gonna be surprisingly long. Eh, let's just start, shall we?

Hyperdimension Neptunia is owned by Idea Factory and Compile Heart. I only own this story and my OC.

Chapter six: "New member, weird relationship?"

I was shocked at the scene I'm looking at. Like seriously how clichéd is this life of mine gonna be? I (technically) saved a bashful school girl, and bam! That same girl is also a badass fighter.

"Hey, if we could make this girl join our side, wouldn't it be like, a good thing? I mean, she's strong enough to cut that dolphin's tail in one go!" X told me.

But still, did this girl followed me or she just paid a visit to this forest and somehow found out I was gonna be screwed by a monster? It's creepy if it's the first option though.

The girl named S-Eyeless dashed towards the dolphin, but the monster quickly made its distance within her much farther.

"Ssss…." I hear her… hissing? As she dashed towards the dolphin with much greater speed.

"Holy crap, did you see that?" X said.

'Y-yeah, she's much faster now!' I replied, again via speaking inwardly.

S-Eyeless keeps chasing the monster, as the monster is within her range, she- "S. Mark." –Passed through the monster as a deep 'S' mark wound appeared on the dolphin's body before it exploded into tiny pixels.

"Damn, she must be, I don't know, Zorro's daughter or something. You definitely should ask her to join you, maybe you'll trigger an important flag." X said.

But still, would it be okay to let her join without Lady Kurome's permission? I don't want this girl to be interrogated by Miss Arfoire either. Wait, would Miss Arfoire interrogate this girl? I don't even know why I thought about that in the first place.

S-Eyeless makes her way towards me while looking for something suspicious. She stopped and kicked a pebble, and somehow the pebble exploded.

"You dumbass, that's not an ordinary pebble. Try moving your body." X told me.

"….Hey, it worked!" I said as I move my arms and legs. I quickly ran towards S-Eyeless.

"Thanks a lot for helping me!" I said while smiling.

She nodded, "…My pleasure, thanks for helping me too….." She said.

"I'M SORRY? I'M THE ONE WHO HELPED HER, GAH I HATE NOT HAVING A BODY! WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" X shouted while banging his (imaginary) head to a (imaginary) table.

Calm down, sheesh.

"NO!"

"Your name is S-Eyeless, right? Nice to meet you! Name's Nuit." I said, shaking her right hand with my right.

She nodded once again, "S-Eyeless, nice to meet you…" She said as we let go our hands.

"Hikaru, it's 12:30 already, we should go back." X told me.

Wait, you're okay with S-Eyeless not thanking you now?

"Trust me, I was a chick magnet."

Okay… I'll pretend not to hear that.

"I've got to go. I hope we meet again, S-Eyeless!" I said as I waved my hands and ran.

"You know, it's rude to run away from a girl, right?" X asked while letting out a sigh.

'Well, I'll apologize when we meet again. Simple, right?' I answered.

"Heh, next time? Why not now? Look behind you." X said, holding his laugh.

"What do you mean look behi- HOLY SHIT!" I shouted as I saw S-Eyeless once again.

"H-Hey there…" I said while scratching the back of my head.

'WHY DIDN'T YOU TOLD ME, X?!'

"Welp, I technically did by telling you to look behind you, am I right or amirite?" dammit I can feel X grinning his stupid (imaginary) face off.

"…..Where are you going?" S-Eyeless said while tilting her head.

"Uh… somewhere… my home! Yeah, my home. I lived within Virtua forest so yeah!" I said.

She nodded without saying anything.

"Let me guess, her next line is 'Can I go with you?'. Let's hear it!" X said enthusiastically.

"….Can I go with you?" She said.

"CORRECT ONCE AGAIN! I love guessing people's lines." X said.

But I don't care about that, what should I do now?

"Uh… There are lots of monsters, y'know?" I said.

S-Eyeless showed me her blade within her cloak. "…..I'll slice them all…."

OKAY THIS IS NOT WORKING.

"Well…. You know what, let's go, I bet someone I know will know what to do." I said as continue walking.

I can hear her walking behind me as well. I hope Lady Kurome's not mad, but still wouldn't she be okay because she got a new member? Eh I'll think about the consequences and also my punishment (if this situation is really that bad) later. Oh man I can see it, Croire's excited face because of me bringing along a new member (that's if Lady Kurome approved her.), Mister Azna=Leb's…. cold face staring right into S-Eyeless' poor soul and Miss Arfoire's surprised look because of me, again just like what I guess the reason behind Croire's excited face that is also my speculation, bringing along a new member. Maybe she wouldn't call me a "pain in the ass" after this. I let out a sigh as the two of us walk towards my base of operations, also cut it off X your singing voice is crap.

"Dammit, Hikaru! I'll tell you right now that singing Streams of Blood is one of my hobbies, and I bet your singing voice is utter garbage, as well!" X said as he continue to sing his awful song.

Well at least I have my own radio now.

(I forgot to put Leo and Max's info in the fifth chapter. So I'll put their informations here.)

-Leo

Name: Leonardo "Leo" Genesis

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Appearance: Red wavy hair, vermillion eyes, fair skinned. Just like Ace, he wears a black sweater and a pair of grey jeans. But instead of a pair of green gloves and sneakers, he wears a pair of red gloves and also red and white sneakers

Family members: Unknown parents

-Max

Name: Maximillian "Max" Rodwell

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Status: Deceased

Appearance: Spiky gold hair, brown eyes, fair skinned. Wears a black sweater and a pair of grey jeans. He also wears a pair of yellow gloves and a pair of yellow and black sneakers.

(Welp, that's that for those two. Let's continue the story!)

"S-Eyeless, nice to meet you… Can I help your group?" S-Eyeless asked Lady Kurome.

Wait what?! I didn't tell her about this though?!

"Whoa hold on, what why?!" I asked S-Eyeless.

She didn't say anything once again.

"I don't mind as you take your responsibility…" Lady Kurome said as she glanced at me while also keeping her concentration at her handheld console.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S OKAY AS LONG AS I TAKE ON MY RESPONSIBILTY?!" I shouted.

Lady Kurome let out a sigh as she put her handheld console away.

"I said 'I don't mind as long as you take your responsibility', is it hard for you to understand?" She asked me.

"W-well, I mean, you're the leader…. So-"

"*sigh* Okay, as the leader I accept S-Eyeless as a member. There, happy?" Lady Kurome cut me off as she continue playing with her console.

"Thanks, Lady Kurome." I said as I bowed slightly for like the third time today.

"Yeah sure, anyways since there's no more room for her, she'll sleep in your room." Lady Kurome said while yawning a little bit.

"Oh okay- Wait what." I said.

"She will sleep in your room, that's what I said." Lady Kurome said.

"See? I told you there will be an important flag being triggered." X said.

"Oh what's this? A new member? Hey there, name's Croire by the way!" Out of nowhere Croire appeared. That's surprising to be honest.

"…..*nods*" S-Eyeless nodded without saying anything. Again.

"Eh? Oh, you're that type huh? Well, I hope you're a fun girl." Croire shrugged.

"You can use teleportation magic?" I asked her.

"Well yeah, that's my main skill after all, basically my job is to record the world's interesting histories, especially the end of the world! Oh man, I want to record some good shits already!" Croire answered with an excited tone.

I… wasn't expecting that to be her explanation though…

"Okay… Well I'm gonna go to my room… S-Eyeless, you wanna come?" I asked the girl beside me.

She nodded…. Without saying anything…. Again…. Let's just roll with it I guess.

I showed her the way and she followed me to my room. I open the door and let her come inside first.

"Wow you're also a gentleman? I bet you learned from Jonathan." X said sarcastically.

Who's Jonathan anyway?

"The most innocent cinnamon roll ever. Also the best gentleman during his years."

Yeah… I don't care anymore.

"Well I'm disappointed." Ignoring X's comment, I went inside as well. My room is a decent room, there's a single bed with a comfy pillow and also a warm blanket, an old but still in good condition carpet and a cupboard. I open the windows, letting the breeze of the forest greets my room. I sit on a chair as S-Eyeless sat on my bed. Oh yeah, there's a desk as well.

'Crap, this is awkward….' I thought while letting out a sigh.

"Let me talk to her. It'll work out, I promise." X said as S-Eyeless removed her cloak and put her cloak on the corner of the bed.

'Well, okay then.' I closed my eyes, and after that X took over.

"Hey, S-Eyeless," The girl looked at me.

"….can I call you S-Shi?" X asked her.

I mentally facepalmed, 'Really X? Asking her if we could call her with a nickname is your first move. Great daze.' I thought.

'Relax, it'll work out.' X replied via speaking inwardly.

"….Okay..." S-Eyeless said as she give a thumbs up.

'…..Really?' I thought.

Still controlling my body, X grinned. "Nice! Well, it's nice to be your teammate, S-Shi." X said.

S-Eyeless nodded without saying anything. Well it's not surprising anymore.

"S-Shi, can I ask you something?"

"…..What is it?" S-Eyeless replied.

"Uh… So who are you exactly?" X said with a serious tone.

If she didn't wear her mask, I bet I could see her reaction.

"…..Why do you want to know?" She said in return.

X crossed my legs. "Well, it's just because I'm that type of character who wants to get every drop of knowledge in this world. It's okay if you don't want to tell me about yourself, just keep in mind if I saw you acting suspicious towards Lady Kurome I'll snap that mask of yours and maybe your neck as well in the process." X answered.

'What the hell X? You can't just tell that to her! What's your relationship with Lady Kurome anyways?' I asked him through my mind.

"…Understood. I just want to help you. That is all." S-Eyeless said while nodding again.

That made X's curiosity higher.

"Oh? Then what's your reason to help me? A man helping out a girl, especially in a dark alleyway, is natural. So why join my side as well?" X said as he stared at S-Eyeless.

"…..I think it's the right decision. That is all…" S-Eyeless answered X's answer.

X smiled and clapped my hands. "Well, that's good enough for me. Welcome to the team, S-Shi." X said as he closed my eyes, letting me control my body once again.

I open my eyes. "Uh… you can sleep on the bed if you want, I'll sleep on the sofa tonight." I said as I stand up, walking up to my door.

"If you're bored, just go to Mister Affimojas' room. I bet he has some cool stuffs laying around." I said as I open the door.

She nodded and I leave her alone in my room.

I closed the door and walked to the main hall.

'What the hell is all that about X?!' I asked him via speaking inwardly which is my favorite way of speaking for now.

"I just wanna check if my guess is true or not. But damn she's a tough one to crack. Eh, I'll try later." X said.

You're a cunning spirit, huh?

"Maybe yes. Maybe no either. Who's that girl?" Hm? I arrived at the main hall once again.

Lady Kurome is still playing with her handheld console, but there's this girl telling about something to Croire, who doesn't care at all.

"….Geez, Crostie! You aren't listening to my story! Oh hi there!" The girl's rantings went into nothingness as she saw me walking up to her and Croire.

"Hi to you as well… Croire, is she?"

"Ah yeah, she's the 'bitch' girl I told you this morning." Croire said.

The 'bitch' girl quickly pinched Croire's cheeks.

"Why you little, no-good fairy! I can seal you within my Nep-Note again, you know!" She said.

She has long lilac hair with bangs that reach down to her collar bone and purple eyes. In her hair she wears black hair-clips in the shape of D-pads and around her neck is a choker that has a light blue D-pad symbol on it. She wears a mostly black one-piece parka dress that has a purple hood, strings that look like controller plugs, and two huge black and purple pockets with blue circles on them. The sleeves have two light blue stripes going all the way down while the front of the parka only contains one. The ends of the sleeves and the bottom of the parka have black and purple stripes. The zipper emblem and the back of the parka has a purple letter "N". Another thing to note is the fact she wears a black and purple gun holster on her left thigh that matches the rest of her outfit.

"Okay, okay! Stop pinching my frickin' cheeks already!" Croire said as she floated towards the back of my head.

"Anyways, nice to meet you! I'm Neptune!" She introduced herself while making a 'V' sign with her left hand. Neptune, huh?

"Nice to meet you, Miss Neptune. My name is Nuit, I hope we could work together." I said with a smile.

"Nepu?! What's with the 'Miss'? From my amazing eyes, you're older than me! And you're pretty tall too!" Neptune said.

Am I really that tall? Steamax is taller than me though, or maybe that's because of his suit.

"Well, I guess I am. But still, it's surprising to hear your name though, it sounded like the name of this nation without the 'Pla' part." I said.

Neptune laughed. "I know right?! When I first came to this dimension, I thought there would be no other nation with the same name as my nation from my dimension!" She said with a happy tone.

Wait, other dimension?

"Other dimension? So there are multiple dimensions?" I ask her.

Croire sighed, "That's why I could travel through places at will, stupid. When the dimension I'm staying at is destroyed, I just simply travel to another dimension until that dimension crumbles into pieces. Pretty simple rule." She explained.

"I'm from the Ultradimension's Planeptune, though I didn't stay at my home for more than two months or so. My hobby is to catch amazing bugs so I traveled across the world! Now that Crostie became my personal warping system, I could easily hop across dimensions to catch more bugs." Neptune said with a prideful tone.

"Sheesh, I still remember your stupid face when you caught me at that time, not a pleasant experience. At all." Croire added.

"Oh yeah! You wanna hear my awesome story, Nuit? I can show you my awesome collection too!" Neptune said as she pulled her Nep-Note from her hoodie's pocket.

"Oh, sure! I love stories after all, I don't know why though, but hey I still like them." I said.

Neptune opened her Nep-Note and start explaining the bugs' characteristics, histories, where can I find them and other interesting things about them while showing her book's contents to me. It's fascinating to see lots of different bugs, Gamindustri's creatures are far more beautiful than I thought.

"….Oh, and this is the armored stag beetle! It could fly with unrivaled speed, and somehow your body movements will be much slower than before during a certain period of time if this little fella bit you! It's so hard catching one in the wild, you know?" Neptune explained.

"Wait, 'Armored'? So its skin is like bulletproof or something?" I ask.

She sighed, "Yeah, and that was one of the reasons this beetle is so hard to catch. It could slow you down while it could fly faster than a horsebird. But hey, somehow I got one when I stayed at one of the Lowee's hotels." She said while shrugging her shoulders. Hm, Lowee?

"Hey, Lowee is one of the four nations right?" I ask.

She nodded, "Yeah. The Land of White Serenity is the title. But you should wear gloves and earmuffs if you couldn't stand cold weathers, it's super cold there." She said. So Lowee's the coldest, I presume? Interesting.

"Hey what's this? Is this a firefly?" I asked her as I pointed at this orange firefly.

"Yeah! That's the ghostly firefly! You can't see them clearly. But if you say 'My name is tenkoojey thakehruu' or 'my soul is burning like the sun and its killing me from the inside!' three times, they will show their true colors. I got this firefly back in my dimension. Not a special bug though, but it's a fun experience looking for them." Neptune giggled.

She tells me more about her journey as a traveler. How she met various kinds of people, how she almost got captured by this weird person who had a fetish for purple hair…. Okay that's disturbing, and other amazing stories that is so bizarre yet so exciting. As Neptune tells me more about her life, Lady Kurome silently watched the two of us without saying a word.

Now I'm curious about the relationship between X and Lady Kurome, eh I'll ask X later. Neptune and I talked about her experiences until the sun sets.

"Ah, Mister Nuit. General Affimojas would love to have a little chat with you." Steamax said as he came to the main hall.

It's already 7:30 PM and I'm just having a chat with Neptune. Mister Affimojas, huh?

"Alright, I'll go." I said as I stand up.

"Thanks for telling me your stories, Neptune. It's awesome!" I said.

Neptune just scratched the back of her head and laughed. "It's nothing, really. Oh, I know! How about you come with me tomorrow to Leanbox? We'll hunt some cool bugs and I'll be your guide! Sounds good?" She said.

I nodded and smiled, "Yeah, let's go tomorrow." I said as I and Steamax went into his and Mister Affimojas' room.

"What did you talk about with Miss Neptune, Mister Nuit?" Steamax said to me.

"Just her experiences as a traveler and as a bug hunter, I swear she's a daredevil sometimes." I said, chuckling a bit.

"Oh? That's new. I wish I could talk to girls more easily." Steamax let out a sigh.

"Eh, you'll get there eventually." I said.

"Oh? If you thought talking to a girl is a great thing, wait until I play my cards… Wait I forgot this fic is rated T for Teenagers huh." X said.

I didn't know my life was being rated by someone. The more you know, Hikaru. The more you know.

Steamax opened the door for me. "After you." He said.

I come inside the room and…. I can't believe my eyes. There are figurines everywhere, and most of them are big on a certain body part as well…. Oh also almost 95% of them are blond girls. Mister Affimojas looked towards my direction.

"Ah you're here, Nuit." He said.

I nodded, "Hey, Mister Affimojas." I said as I walked up to him.

Steamax closed the door. Their room is a big one, maybe it's due to their robot bodies. Two single beds, an air conditioner, a television with a console is here too.

"I thought this building didn't have electricity?" I asked Steamax.

"General used his generators to give this building power." Steamax explained.

Mister Affimojas laughed. "It's no big deal, I can give you one of my Ion generators if you want, Nuit. We are teammates after all, it's my pleasure to help." He said.

"Thanks. If it's not a burden for you, then please. Although I'm not gonna sleep in my room, S-Eyeless used my room from now." I said.

Mister Affimojas looks at me with interest. "Oh? You mean this girl?" He said as he pointed at his laptop.

I looked at the screen and… what the hell? "I-Is that me?" I asked Mister Affimojas.

He nods, "Yes, my secret business partners saw you from one of the rooftops and recorded your actions. You're pretty good with your gun, Nuit." Mister Affimojas said as he patted my back.

"W-Well as long as this video doesn't pop up on the internet, I guess its okay." I said.

"As your friend, I won't post this on my website." Mister Affimojas said.

"Wait, you two have a website?" I ask Steamax.

He nodded, "Yes. It's called 'GeneralSummarySite', we obtained huge profits from there." He explained.

"Anyway, Nuit, would you love to play with us? I bought this horror game, but Steamax is being a scaredy-cat as always." Mister Affimojas said.

Steamax coughed in embarrassment, "I just don't like zombie games!" He said.

"Yeah, I'm in." I said. I played with Mister Affimojas until midnight.

"Well, that's fun. Thanks for joining me, Nuit." Mister Affimojas said.

"You're welcome, uh… is Steamax alright?" I pointed at the blue robot.

He covered himself with two layers of blanket due to the horrors from the game. I mean, a house full of black fungus and zombified family is kinda scary, but covering yourself with two blankets? Not sure about that.

Mister Affimojas laughed, "He's alright, I will give him some H-rated games and he'll be fine." He said.

"Okay… See you tomorrow, I mean later at morning." I said as I closed the door.

"See you later." He said.

Man that was fun, but I need to sleep as well. Neptune wanted me to join her after all. I walked to the main hall.

"Hm? There's a blanket on the sofa." I said as I walked up to the sofa. The blanket is dark blue in color.

"Welp, it'll help me sleep easier." I said as I rest myself on the sofa.

'Hey, X… about what you said to S-Eyeless…' I said to him through my mind.

"What about it?" He asked.

'Nothing, it's just… weird. I mean, you don't know anything about Lady Kurome…. Well I don't too, but still why did you threatened S-Eyeless?' I asked him.

He laughed, "You didn't call her 'S-Shi' huh? Well, if I told you why I threatened her, it'll spoil the fun. As a first player, it's your job to find out more, I'm just a second player that will help the Ace. Of course the Ace is you, and about my relationship with your boss… is just like you and her, she's technically my boss as well." He answered.

'Is that the truth or are you trying to fool me?' I asked him again.

"Why would I fool you? I'm nothing but a spirit inside your head, you can erase my existence if you want but if you do that, you'll miss all the fun…. Also your memories." He said with a serious tone.

Wait what?!

'You know about my lost memories?! Tell me now, please!' I said.

X sighed, "It's not my job to tell you about your past." He said.

I clicked my tongue. 'Whatever I'm gonna go to sleep. Goodnight.' I said to X as I closed my eyes and put on the blanket.

"Goodnight, Hikaru." X replied as I went to dreamland.

(I will do a P.O.V. change to X's P.O.V. because uh… reasons…. I won't do this often though!)

"Goodnight, Hikaru." I said to him.

Time to do what I need to do huh? Oh I forgot that there are people who reads this story, surprisingly. Well, my name is currently X. Why currently? I don't want to spoil anything so I'll shut my mouth. Walking through his mindscape, I found who I'm looking for. She walked back and forth with a worried face. Her long, navy blue hair are in a messy condition as she keeps scratching her head in frustration. Is she thinking about something? I snap my fingers, making an invisible wall surrounding the two of us.

"W-what's going on?!" The girl said in a shocked tone.

"Hey there…. Grimoire." I greet her.

The girl named Grimoire looked towards my direction.

"W-who are you? Wait, that voice…. Ah! You're the reason why Hikaru hates me now huh?! You bastard!" Grimoire said in anger.

"Whoa, calm down.Do you remember me?" I ask her.

"No, but I know you somehow changed Hikaru's personality! Oh no, Hikaru said I mustn't talk except when he wanted something! Oh no I'm screwed!" She said as her face becomes paler than ever before.

"Calm down, I created a barrier so that Hikaru couldn't hear you. He's also asleep right now so don't worry." I said.

Grimoire looked surprised and also relieved. "Really? Phew, thanks! But still I'm still mad because of what you did to Hikaru!" She said.

I laughed. "All I did up until now is for his own good. Tell me, what did you do for him? You only gave him his dagger and helped him pick his new clothes. Ain't that pathetic?" I said as I created a table and two chairs out of nothing. This is Hikaru's mindscape after all, I can create anything as long as I know the items. I sit on the chair. Without me telling her, Grimoire sits on the second chair.

"Well… I wanted to help him with all I got, but… Ever since Hikaru passed out, he's…. different. I don't know why but I felt like I failed one of my missions…" She said as she looked towards the blank sky.

"Why didn't you tell him the truth?" I ask her.

"What truth? I don't know what you're talking about." She answered.

Hmm, from the way she said that, she legit doesn't know huh. "I see, you're the same as Hikaru, then." I said as I stand up and walked away.

"Wait! Who are you? You look like Hikaru, but…" Grimoire asked.

"Me? Call me X, also about my similarities with Hikaru… I'm just your everyday bizarre spirit, I can imitate whoever I want. That is all. Well, it's fun talking with you Grimoire. Also I'll try to negotiate with Hikaru since I know you're innocent and wanted to help him." I said as I snapped my fingers, making the barrier surrounding us disappear.

"Don't say anything, you don't want Hikaru to hear you." I said.

Grimoire nodded. I walked away as I think about my new plan.

"I never thought Grimoire would be affected as well… Time to go to that bastard's place, but…" I stopped walking to think about my current situation.

If I try to find where that fucker is, considering it's already 1:30 AM…. I didn't know that time flows fast when you talk with another person, I guess since it's been a long time…

"Well fuck it, I'm gonna do my mission." I'm sorry if I couldn't greet you in the morning, Hikaru. This is for your own good after all. Steeling my mind, I walked without directions to find another entity that resides within Hikaru's body.

Walking, walking, and walking. Damn this is boring, not tiring, just boring. Maybe if I sing a song… No, that will give Hikaru nightmares.

I hope a random golden arrow strikes my body and maybe I could get a horseman that could make time flows even faster, maybe I could achieve heaven… Yeah that's a nice dream and all, but I'm a damned soul. Can't help it.

"Oh? What do we have here?" I asked myself. A vision to the future, huh? I looked at the scenery in front of me.

The scenery I'm looking at is about two people, it seems person A is the teacher of person B. They fought each other in a training match. Person A dodged B's slashes easily while person B keeps attacking nonstop, every time his sword dances it seems like it could cut the air in half. Pretty amazing. Person A used a smoke bomb to limit his pupil's vision. And then, person A summons a…. Steamroller?!

I snapped my fingers, making the scenery before me breaks like a mirror.

"Okay, I'll forget that… I fucking hate steamrollers…" I said as I walk once again.

As I thought about something not important, I found a white crystal.

"Could this be… A warp crystal?" I touched the crystal. It shines brightly and I close my eyes.

I can feel the crystal stopped shining. I open my eyes. "…..What the hell?" I legit couldn't believe my eyes.

In front of me is a mountain. Not just an ordinary mountain mind you. I can see two dragons being sealed on the mountain. One of them looked like a futuristic dragon, launching its cyber-looking blades towards a bigger, three-headed dragon that shoots out laser beams from its palm. The blades and the beam collides, but I guess they were sealed because of the force from their attacks.

"….So this is it, huh? A battle between Light and Darkness, Hope against Despair. Pretty cliché, but still… I need to warn Hikaru about this. I don't want this game being too fucked up. I wonder if Hikaru and Neptune would meet an important person when they travel to this place called 'Leanbox'… Well change of plans, this is good enough for me. Even though I still want to collect tons of knowledge from this amazing dragons… Helping Hikaru is more important."

I said as I touched the white crystal once again. I closed my eyes. As I open my eyes, I'm at the center of Hikaru's mindscape.

"Crap. No checkpoints huh? Well at least I have this crystal." I said as wait for Hikaru to wake up from his slumber.

I wonder if he want to hear the truth. But I decided not to, because he's not ready. He needs to learn from zero again. Sigh, looking back at my days…. Maybe everything will be okay. That's what I hope. I hear him yawning and I can feel him stretching his arms.

"5:00 AM. Really, only 5 hours of sleep? You don't want to be a burden for Neptune later, right?" I ask him.

"Hnggghh… Shut up, I don't know why but I always wanted to wake up at 5 in the morning… I'm gonna go wash my face and then maybe there's a coffee machine here." Replied Hikaru.

I chuckled, "Heh, yeah you better wash your stupid face. Also, good morning Hikaru." I said.

"Good morning to you as well, X." Hikaru said.

He stopped walking.

"What's wrong?" I ask him.

'This is not the main hall… THIS IS MY ROOM?!' He shouted inwardly. Is that a thing?

"Wait what? Pretty sure you slept on the sofa, right?" I ask him again.

'Y-yeah… then, what did I hugged when I slept? I-I'm pretty sure I don't have a bolster…' He thought.

He looked at his bed and his face becomes pale.

"….This is too dramatic, I'm gonna go to sleep." I said as I created a bed.

'What?! Did you just created a bed?! And I thought Spirits could work properly without sleep?!' He asked.

"Haha. Jokes on you. I'm tired because of controlling your body yesterday. Well, good night." I said as I went to sleep.

Well, this is all the time I have for you readers. It's fun being the narrator of this story, but sadly I'm not a main character. Just your everyday bizarre spirit. Back to you, Hikaru.

-Hikaru's P.O.V.

I sigh.

I couldn't believe the fact that I slept on my bed, not on the sofa. But the most shocking part is that… S-Eyeless is sleeping on my bed too… and I use her as my bolster….

Slapping my cheeks, I silently left without waking up the sleeping girl. I hope she doesn't find out about this.

I let out a sigh once again as I walked to the 'kitchen' area. This building is huge, I bet this building was supposed to be a guest house or something? Maybe.

As I arrived at the kitchen area, I saw Neptune sitting on one of the chairs, sighing while tapping her finger to the dining table.

"Good morning, Neptune." I say as I grabbed a mug and I opened the fridge, chocolate milk? Sure, why not.

"Oh, good morning Nuit." She replied.

"You want milk or something? You looked like you couldn't sleep at all." I offered her.

She shook her head, "No, I'm good. Thanks by the way, Crostie went somewhere without telling me. Again. *sigh* I should really seal her again." Neptune said with a disappointed tone.

"Don't think about it too much. She'll come back eventually." I said as I sat on one of the chairs.

"Yeah, I guess. But she's literally a problem machine! It's like she's a turtle-tank hybrid bomb that will say 'Look over here!' to some guy and that guy will… explode!" She said while banging her head to the table.

Turtle-tank hybrid bomb? That's scary, I'll ask X about it later.

"Well thanks for your advice, Nuit. We will go to Leanbox at 7. I'll take a shower first if you don't mind. Or you can join me if you want." She said as she patted my shoulder and walked to the bathroom.

"Oh, okay then- Wait, what?!" I said as I spilled some of the milk to the table.

She smirked at me while closing her left eye, "Just joking~ it's too early to access that route, am I right?" She asked as she continue walking towards the bathroom.

I sigh as I stand up to get a tissue to clean the mess.

'Honestly, this team is full of weird people, huh? But I like this bizarre relationship with them all, makes me… feel home, yeah. I miss them, even though I met them for one day only… I wonder if I could gain my memories back, I want to remember my time with those four…' I thought to myself as I cleaned the mess.

I put my glass on the sink and I threw the tissue to the garbage can.

"*sigh* I don't know what to do…" I said as I sat on the sofa. Oh I know.

"Hey, Grimoire. I have something to ask." I said.

'Eh?! Sure, anything for you Hikaru!' Grimoire replied with a shocked tone.

"Can you give me a book or something? I need something to read because this is boring." I said.

'Oh sure! I'll summon it right away!' Right after she said that, a book appeared in my hand.

"*Deity of the sun's chronicle.* huh? Thanks." I said as I start to read the book.

'You need anything other than something to read? I'll help you with anything!' Grimoire said.

"Thanks, but I'm good for now. You can do whatever you want, just don't be noisy please." I said as I read the prologue of the book.

It's about a Sun Deity that protects the earth from this demonic sun dragon, sadly the Deity lost against the demon after eons of fighting each other. This is more interesting than I thought.

'Eh? Really? I can do whatever I want? But, wouldn't I be a nuisance to you if I do that?' She asked.

"Just don't make it too noisy please. You gave me this interesting book after all, thank you." I said.

'….You're welcome, Hikaru!' She replied.

I keep on reading as I wait for Neptune. What? I need to take a shower as well, I don't want grasses surrounding me withers away because of my smell.

"Nuit, you're ready?" Neptune asked as I walked to the main hall.

Man that bathroom is great for an abandoned guest house, must be Mister Affimojas' doing.

"Yeah, anytime." I said.

"Great! Let's go then!" Neptune said as she ran to the door.

"Ah, Mister Nuit. You and Miss Neptune will visit Leanbox, I presume?" Steamax said as he started cleaning the hall with a broom.

"Yeah, where's Miss Arfoire and Mister Azna=Leb anyway? Haven't seen them since yesterday." I asked him.

"Ah, Arfoire went to Lastation for something, while Azna=Leb went to Lowee. He works as a chancellor there." Steamax explained.

"I see, well I've got to go now, Neptune's gonna be angry at me if I didn't catch up." I said while walking towards the exit.

"Have fun, Mister Nuit." Steamax said.

"Geez! What took you so long?" Neptune said.

"Sorry, just having a little chat with Steamax." I replied.

"Well, Leanbox is way over there, so we got to move fast to go to the terraport." Neptune said as she ran.

"Hey, Neptune! Wait for me!" I said as I run as well.

"The loser must treat the winner!" She said as her pace becomes faster.

Well I already went to Lastation, so I can't wait to arrive at Leanbox. But somehow, I have a bad feeling about this trip. I hope it's just my imagination being wild again. My adventure continues as I try to win this silly race against Neptune towards the Terraport.
