I looked up on the skies blankly as I let my bubbles freely roam around the air. Books beside me flipped its pages as wind sprites play around like children. For a human, this will be a bizarre sight… but for a magus who has witnessed the world's end, it's a very calming and peaceful sight to see.

"As always… my habits of reading books haven't changed a bit. But the books in the village aren't enough. I have already read everything! Even though this urges to read everything that the occupants of this era could offer… I couldn't be too hasty on travelling with this little body."

"That's right, a little boy like you shouldn't go adventuring in a world that adults could barely even handle." I sighed and rolled my eyes away as the pirate sit beside me with his smoke attracting some wind sprites.

"Hmph! Eavesdropping is bad, Mr. Pirate."

"Talking to yourself is also bad, little boy."

Both of us went silent and then roared in laughter. Him being here kind of made me feel lighter. It is probably because I knew that he will never bring himself to harm me.

"Hey, Benny, did you see Luffy and Paulo? Luffy seemed to be attached to Shanks and Paulo had been consuming too much fruits lately. Could it be that we have missed too many events while we are away?" he hummed and then started caressing my hair.

"Maybe. Do you feel lonely?" I yawned and nodded slighting making the man chuckle.

"…I'm sorry Chaos. I know you are drained because we asked you for doing something tiresome like that. Can you forgive me..?"

"Such questions shouldn't be asked Benny… The moment I was born in this world I had forgiven everything. That's why don't… worry… I forgive you no matter what…" the comfort of having someone I trust near me as I sleep brings back memories of my adventure in Magico. I wonder… if the eight of us will be together again. If that happens, then I would be happy to sing under the guide of the starry sky.

"Chaaaaaooooos..! C'mon let's go plaaaaay..! I'm already bored~!" I smiled and then patted Luffy at the head making him pout which was really cute.

"Alright Luffy, but let me finish this first okay?" he took a peek at the book I was writing on and gasped in amazement. Though this talent of mine is considered as normal back then, him acting like this flatters me.

"Woooooaaaaah..! So cool!"

"These? Well, these are inscriptions. Though all of them looks like they are weirdly shaped, they are words that can communicate directly to sprites." the look of confusion on his face was to be expected. Since I knew he wouldn't understand no matter how I explain it, I just finished my writing and then stood next to Luffy while holding up the open book I have written on.

"In darkness and in light, the flowers will bloom in an array of crimson doom. Let the mother weep and the father laugh as their children of fate fall asleep on the cradle of growing thorns—" I stopped when the wind sprites tremble, affecting the whole surrounding and Luffy himself.

"Ahhh, forgive me everyone. Did I frighten you?" I opened my palm and let some of the sprites land and rest there. They all seemed to calm down.

"Shishishishi! Chaos is so cool!" I blinked and looked at Luffy who was grinning ear to ear at the sprites who also stared at him in curiosity. I watched the two make little interaction in wide eyes. Since when…

"Luffy…"

"…you can see them?!"
