CHAPTER VIII:
"Yosh minna! That's all for today!" Their vocalist shouted at them.
"Yosh!!! Good work minna!" This coming from their hyper guitarist.
"Don't forget, tomorrow, same time and same place. The festival's next week already." Maki said to them, acting as their manager.
Yuuri just silently packed his things on his bag.
"Yuuri, you okay?" One of their two guitarists moved towards him, he was the closest to Yuuri.
Yuuri looked up, "Eh? Um… yeah, I was just thinking about our exam."
The said guitarist frowned, their exams would be two months from now and Yuuri is worrying about it, something is bothering his friend.
"Come on, you know you can tell me what ever that's bothering you."
Yuuri just shrugged his shoulder making the guitarist frown at him more. They then started walking out the door,
"Just a strange dream I have but nothing to worry about." He finally said to avoid the questions the other one is sure to throw at him.
"Oh okay, see you tomorrow then... I guess."
"Ja!" At this, they parted ways at door leading out of the building.
----
He was obviously on a forest because trees are surrounding him and when he turned to his right, he glimpses a shining reflection of water that is probably a part of a lake. It all seemed peaceful; he could feel the calming breeze of the wind brushing his face when he suddenly felt a presence.
He whirled around to find a creature, his height only about his waist, it has a large pointed ear and a long, sharp fingers.
The said creature looked at him straight in the eye before bowing,
"Maou-Heika, my name's Elka the messenger, the congregation of Elves had sent me by the order of our High Seer Adocious."
Yuuri didn't know what to do or how to respond to that but it seemed that his instinct kicked in because he gave a slight nod without breaking his eye contact with the elf messenger.
The elf seemed satisfied and his eyes showed something akin to respect before speaking,
"Our race, as noble and as old as thousand years ago, are one of the powerful races almost equal to that of dragons though in a subtle way because we, elves, prefer living peacefully with our loved ones therefore preferring to be as neutral as possible especially during conflicts or wars."
Yuuri frowned in confusion but the elf seemed to take the frown into impatience,
"Our High Seer wants to inform you that we are going to help you in as much as possible as we are allowed because some other forces had involved themselves in your fight with the humans."
This seemed to confuse Yuuri more but it seemed that his inner self is in control of him right now.
"When you say "some other forces", what do you mean by that?" A husky and more deep voice questioned the creature in front of him.
"The High Seer told me that he will answer your questions when he will meet you."
He can't help it but to fold his arms on his chest as he studied the elf in front of him but then gave his brief nod.
"Thank you for your time Maou-Heika and I, Elka the messenger, is pleasured beyond compare to meet you. I am to take my leave now."
And with that, the elf vanished out of nowhere.
Yuuri sat up from his bed, he had that strange dream again like yesterday except that now, someone appeared and talked to him.
Yesterday, he was on this huge room looking out through the window. He is gazing what he assumed to be a nice and peaceful town but no one approached him and talked to him like his dream a while ago.
He rubs his eyes and swung his leg to the side of his bed, he is thirsty and he needs to think.
He went straight to the refrigerator without opening the light and drunk a bottle of water noting the presence of someone but he didn't flinch because the presence is somewhat calming to him.
When a shadow shifted from the corner, he saw Conrad move to the switch and opened it revealing a worried expression on his face.
"Heika, what's wrong?"
Yuuri looked thought for a minute before speaking,
"I assume that before this forgetting-the-past thing, I always prefer you calling me Yuuri so let's stick to that can we?" He flashed his sheepish grin making Conrad laugh a bit.
"Of course Hei- err—Yuuri- of course." He smiled softly at him before taking a sit and gestured for Yuuri to sit also across the table.
"Now, tell me what's bothering you." When Yuuri look at him quizzically, he yet again smiled
"I can tell with your expression when you entered here even by the poor lighting and I can say that you just had a not so pleasant sleep, am I right?"
He slowly nodded before looking out the closed window, he sighed.
"I don't know, I mean I'm not sure what it meant but I think that it's pretty important because the elf addressed me as a Maou-heika."
"Elf you say?" Conrad raised his eyebrow at this then looked straight at Yuuri's eye.
"What did this elf told you?"
"He said that he was ordered by their High Seer that they had decided on their congregation to take our side in our battle against the humans because other forces had been also involved."
Conrad's brows knitted and his eyes hardened,
"Then this must be very serious for them to involve themselves."
Yuuri just nodded but seemed confused and he voiced his confusion,
"But I thought that your or I mean our race and that of human are not in war anymore?"
Conrad smiled at him sadly,
"Peace as beautiful as it sound is a word that is very difficult attain or even to maintain. Yes, we may have won over our battle on the darkest creature known as Soshou and the people in Shin Makoku are happy and at peace but there are still those that struggle to destroy this peacefulness. These people, creatures, or forces would find their way into us but then again as we are always saying, we believe in you Heika. We know that maybe "Peace" can be considered as impossible, for you "Impossible" is never a barrier but a mere word said by those that don't know how to value the people around them."
Yuuri gaped at Conrad before smiling widely,
"I knew your words are as calming as your presence."
Conrad just shook his head,
"No Yuuri, you thought us all this. You may have not in words but you showed us, you showed us how to trust, to give a chance, to value and to love everything that is around us may it be a human or a kohi and we thank you for that." Conrad said all this solemnly.
Yuuri's eyes softened but held a sad expression on it.
"I really am that great huh, I wish I can remember." He bowed his head at this because he can feel a tear threatening to come out. He is frustrated, confused, frightened, awed and somewhat excited at the same time he didn't know what to do.
"Daikenja and Ulrike are already looking for what may have caused your memory loss but in the mean time you have classes tomorrow so you should go sleep."
-----
Yuuri walked down the few stairs leading to the living room rubbing his eyes off of sleep.
Sleep had been difficult last night but he had managed after a few toss here and there but yeah he had his sleep back.
"Ohayou Yuuri!" Came the voice of Conrad from the couch on their living room.
"Ohayou Conrad." He replied lazily.
"Ohayou Yuuri, you sleep well? I just finished cooking our breakfast."
"Ohayou aunt Yuki and yeah I sleep well." It felt awkward to call Aunt what he had been calling mom for the past few months but somehow it felt right. They've already talked and work things out with his mother and aunt.
Yuki smiled at him widely before setting the table.
-----
When Yuuri stepped through the gate, he left a sigh of relief when no one howled at them (them being himself, Conrad and Gunter who apparently had also stayed their overnight but escaped his notice) like the past few days.
He then walked straight to the tennis court where some of the regulars and other members were already present. It is still ten minutes before their practice so he went and change on his tennis uniform before joining the other regulars stretching inside one of courts.
When he approached the gate to the court, he noticed two out of the four regular smiling at him broadly, he closed his eyes and count to three.
Three…
Two…
One…
"Ahh Yuuri-kun what a nice day isn't it?"
Yuuri sighed in exasperation at the booming sound of one of his sempai.
"Arreh? Where is your blonde boyfriend? Or should I say fiancé?" sniggers were heard even from the non-regulars.
"Yeah, I even heard he's the one who had kindly registered you on your band for the upcoming musicfest!"
Yuuri just pretended that he's not hearing anything and that his senpai's mouth were merely moving. Nope, definitely not a word coming out of their mouth.
"Shibuya, I said formation NOW!" Came the irritated voice of his captain and Yuuri immediately look around from his doodling over the blue sky only to find out that the others are already in line looking at him comically.
He suddenly coughed out loud before making his way to his position.
-----
When Yuuri thought that his day could never be bad after their practice, he is definitely wrong because after taking his seat for their first lesson, a girl suddenly came up to him.
"You are Shibuya-kun right?" She ask splattering on her words, Yuuri nodded looking warily at the blushing girl.
But before Yuuri could even blink, the girl went running out. Yuuri just shook his head but after breathing a sigh, he saw a dust of blurs coming through the door in his direction.
His eyes went wide when he realized that the blurs were just hordes of girls looking at him predatorily.
