"Raven, you're going to sleep with me from now," Ara said.

"What?!" Raven crossed his arms. "I'm not a little kid!"

"It's not about that!" she shouted. "I don't know where brother is! I can't lose you too!"

Raven lowered his head. "Can I skip school tomorrow?"

"Of course not," she smiled. "You need better grades, you know".

After all that she said, I thought she's going to let him skip school. She moved toward the wall. "I'm going to fix this for now".

"Let's just hope for the best tomorrow," I said to Raven. He just sighed.


"Sis, you know the situation, so why do I have to come to school?!" I protested.

"You need good grades, Ravey!" she crossed her arms.

"What's the point? I don't understand anything at school!" I shouted. There are 2 things that I do at school. First, listening to whatever the teacher says while I don't understand a single word. Second, getting bullied.

"I told you that you can ask me anything," she patted my head.

"Ara, there's a thing that you can't make people understand it, even if you explain it a hundred times," Eve said to Ara.

"What are you talking about?" she lifted her one eyebrow. "That's not true".

"Explain to me why you don't believe that I get bullied every time I go to school," I responded.

"Because you're not!" she smiled.

"I guess my theory is right," Eve sighed. Yeah, what Eve said is true. Sis is one of them.

"Okay. Whatever," I gave up.

"I'll prepare dinner after this. Are you hungry?" she asked.

"No. I'm full," I answered. Too many cakes for today.

"Really?" she looked at me. "Hey, is that little girl your friend?" she asked with a smile. I nodded. "You finally have friends?! I'm so glad!"

What.

"You do realize he finally have friends, right?" Eve narrowed her eyes at Ara.

"Of course," Ara tilted her head. "Why?"

"Why did you think Raven is playing tag with his friend yesterday? He doesn't even have a friend," she said. "When he said he didn't get his lunch. You remember that?"

Whoa. Things become too serious.

Ara turned to silence. "This morning you said about Raven lost bet yesterday. Who do you think Raven bet to?" Eve asked again. "You do know Raven didn't have any friends before".

"Eve, I—"

"Do you really think Raven was cross-dressing today?" Eve glared at Ara. "Ara, you realize Raven is getting bullied".

Ara lowered her head. "Stop it".

Eve sighed. "Why do you refuse to believe it?"

"Stop it!" Ara shouted. What happened? "I know, okay?"

What.

"I know he's getting bullied at school," she admitted.

"Then why are you letting Raven go to school?" Eve asked. I think I know where this is going. Is she going to get bullied?

"They're going to bully me if he doesn't come to school," Ara murmured. "R-Raven, I-I'm sorry, I—"

It's been a long time since he called me by my name. That means she's really serious. "Okay. I get it," I replied. "I'll go to school tomorrow".

"How can you accept it like that?!" she shouted with teary eyes. "Why?!"

"If that makes you okay, I'm fine with it," I answered. At least someone close to me won't get a trouble because of me. I'm happy with that.

"Don't say that!" she cried. "What kind of sister I am? I force you to go to school—getting bullied, even you almost died once while I'm just doing nothing about it!"

Well, she's right about that. "I force you to go to school for my own selfishness! I know you won't forgive me, but I'm sorry!" she sobbed.

Well, she's right about that again. "As long as you're fine, it's okay, sis," I smiled.

She hugged me. "You're nice, Ravey. You don't deserve it".

"Sis…" I hugged her back. I don't know what to say about it.

"Come here, Evie~" she hugged Eve as well. I guess she's back to her normal self.

"Wha—Don't bring me to your conversation," Eve said with her monotone voice. What are we doing anyway?

Someone came. "What are you guys doing?" Add looked at us confusedly.

"Come, Add!" Ara pulled Add with magic and hugged him too. She doesn't know what to do with Add's name, I guess.

What are we doing? Really.

"Don't act like this is the end of the world," Add sighed.

Ara loosen her hug. "What are you doing, Add?"

"I want to stay here for a while. Nobody's at home anyway," he answered.

Ara placed her arm on Add's shoulder. "You can't cook. You're here for free food. Admit it".

"O-Of course I can!" Add crossed his arms.

"Oh, really?" Ara narrowed her eyes at Add and smiled. "Help me prepare dinner if you want free food. By the way, we're not doing it with magic".

"What?!" Add startled. "Okay, fine! I'll help you!"

Ara and Add went to the kitchen.

"And she forgot to fix the wall," Eve sighed.

"What should we do now?" I asked. I'm not going outside, of course. For sis' sake.

"Do you have any homework?" Eve asked. "Or a test?"

"I don't know. I skip all classes today," I shrugged.

"Why didn't you go home?" Eve asked. "Your teacher kicked you out because your homework was stolen, correct?" I nodded. "What are you doing in front of class anyway? Just go home already".

I laughed. I don't know if that's a joke or not, but I find it funny. "I'll try that next time".

A sound of something chopped hardly can be heard. What are they doing?

"Add, you're not slicing a meat! It's a carrot!"

"Shut up!"

Eve and I look at each other. "Should we help?" she asked.

"I'm not helping. I can't cook," I answered.

"By the way, is one of your teachers disappeared?" she narrowed her eyes at me.

"I don't know," I shrugged.

"It's weird that no teacher told you to go to class," Eve said. "You spent your school day with her. Why does your teacher didn't do anything?"

I just realize that. How can I spent my time with Lu and no teacher was complained about it?

"And I like how the shopkeeper didn't say anything about you," Eve continued. "How many cakes do you guys bought?"

"Too many cakes. Around 14," I sighed.

"I guess money is more important," she smiled.

"Just stand there and watch me cook, Add!"

"You should have told me sooner!"

"Are you really not going to help them?" I asked. For some reason I can't trust them for dinner.

"Yes," Eve nodded. "Let's just wait for the dinner".

"Ravey!" Ara came to us. "I just remember you're not hungry. Do you want to drink something?"

"Water," I answered. What's with the sudden question?

"Milkshake?" she smiled. "You really like it, right?"

"Yeah, but—"

"Strawberry milkshake for everyone!" Ara shouted as she went back to the kitchen.


"Let's eat!" Ara quickly ate her dinner.

"Thanks for the dinner," Add also quickly ate his dinner.

"You two should slow down," Eve sighed. She ate her dinner normally.

And I'm just drinking my strawberry milkshake.

"You two seem to be friendlier than yesterday," Ara said as she looked at Add and me.

"Really?" Add and I asked simultaneously.

"Did something happen?" she smiled.

"Does it matter?" Add asked back.

"I wonder where those balloons came from," she looked at her plate.

"What balloons?" I asked.

"Don't play dumb. That girl did it, right?" Add narrowed his eyes at me.

Damn. He's right.

I nodded. "Really?" she smiled again. "Looks like you're having fun, Ravey!"

"I just remember. Ara, do you have a metal?" Add suddenly asked. What's gotten into him?

Ara tilted her head. "Eve is made from metal—"

"Except her," Add said in serious tone. "Do you have it or not?"

"Of course not. Why would I have that kind of thing?" Ara raised her one eyebrow.

"Okay. Nevermind," Add sighed.

What.

And silence filled the room.


After dinner, Add went home. "Why did he ask about metal?" I asked to Eve.

"He's trying to make a blade for you," she answered. "He said all he found was a metal made from magic. He needs the real one".

Okay then.

"Should I help?" I asked. "He's going to make it for me, so I need to help, right?"

"No. It would be difficult to walk around the city trying to find a metal," Eve disagreed.

"Yeah. You're right," I lied down on sis' bed.

"The wall is fixed!" Ara came to her room. "Ravey, you're sleepy already?"

"A little," I answered.

"Let me give you a good dream~" Ara lied down beside me and hugged me from behind. "Come here, Ravey~"

"Sis, what are you doing?!" I yelled. Eve is just looking at us. I don't know what she's thinking right now. "You're not giving me a good dream!"

"Come here, Evie~" she gave a space for Eve, but this is just a single bed.

"I don't need sleep," Eve replied. "I'll guard outside. Have a good time," Eve smiled and exited the room.

"Sis, seriously, you're going to give me nightmares," I said to Ara.

"Don't say that," she hugged me tightly. "I'm worried, you know".

"About what?" I asked.

"About you, of course," she murmured. "I don't know why you opened the window before, but that thing almost hit you".

Good thing she doesn't figure out that I want to get sick back then. "I thought it's an attack to make something disappear, but it's not. The wall destroyed. It's just my opinion, but I think someone wants to kill you".

I sighed. "They want to kill me because I told the teacher about Seris. You remember?"

"It's different," she replied. "From the wall, I guess it's just a single attack".

"Yeah, you right," I agreed. What does she want to say?

"It's powerful. Who has a powerful magic like that in our school?" she asked.

"Add," I answered.

"The bullies are not that strong—and it's not him," she responded. "I'm not that strong, but at least I can protect you".

She means someone else wants to kill me? What for?

"Sis?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't hug me that tight. I can't breathe," I ruined the situation.

She laughed and patted my head. "Just sleep, Ravey~"


Wait, where am I? It's a pitch black.

"Rave".

I turned back and saw Aren because nobody called me that except him, but I'm not sure. He has white hair, red eyes, and horns. Is he really Aren? "Aren?"

"Aren is dead. I'm Ran," he answered.

What.

"But you're using his body," I responded.

He summoned a red sword and slashed me. I dodged it. "What are you doing?!"

"Just die!" he summoned a giant claw. I ran back to dodge it and a shadow of him suddenly appeared in front of me to slash me.

"I'm going to kill you," Ran summoned a magic circle from behind me and lifted me up to the air. "Die, Rave!"

"Raven, wake up!"

I woke up and Eve is in front of my face. "Are you okay? You're sweating," she said.

"Sis really gave me a nightmare," I sighed.

"Breakfast is ready," she smiled. "The real nightmare starts at school".

She looks creepy. "Don't say that while you're smiling".

What was that dream about?


I went to school. It's time for an extra class. I hate it.

"We need an entertainment before extra class," someone shocked me with a taser. That stings!

I turned back and saw Chung and his friends. "What the hell?!"

"Hey, tell us about that little girl," Chung crossed his arms.

"No," I smiled. "You guys are curious?"

Someone punched me and I dodged it. Wait, Lu's not here today. Ciel won't have an extra class. That means everybody is going to bully me today.

Chung took out his gun and… wait, what's far behind him? When I see it, it ran away. Chung shot me and almost hit me. I better run and follow that thing. Actually, I wonder if I can meet whatever I saw before.


I just realize it's 9 chapters already. Yay!
