Side story : Pastel chalk and milk

*PoV of Zeimachi*

"...Life blooms like a flower♪, far away or by the road♪. Waiting for the one♪, to find the way back home♪."

For some reason, I can always remember the lyrics of this song. A song that has a connection with that person, the person who always resurfaced in my memory and stopped me from destroying everything that I have built.

Well she also has her own theme song which is Feather of Millennium, but Rubia hit me more with depression impact so it's a very welcomed pain for me.

"Rain falls a thousand times♪, no footprints of come-and-go♪. You who once went by♪, where will you belong♪."

At that moment, anger was everything to me. No matter what I'm going to do or who I'll be ended up with, if they get in my way then I will always destroy them.

It didn't matter whether my enemies were gods who came to invade from a distant realm, or the entire world that came from another dimension and whether they're also a human like me or not, at that time I really didn't care about anything but destruction.

I kept destroying whatever was bothering me, and until I finally realized... That I was the only one left that I hadn't destroyed.

"I feel your sigh and breath, in the last blow of wind♪. Not yet for the story on the last page, it's not the...end♪."

In the stories that I often read, there're many scenes where the characters who fall into misery would got a help from those closest to them. For me it is a very beautiful thing, so beautiful that I can't even imagine if I will experience something like that.

And fortunately it's true.

There's no one who reach their hands to save me.

'Thank you, Fuka-san.'

That way... I've succeed in letting them alive.

'I'm going to complete my mission.'

Nonetheless that doesn't mean I will do "An eye for an eye" at others, if just grabbing someone's hand could save them, then it was a very cheap price to be able to save someone. Not everyone is able to solve their own problems, and not all of those people want to talk about their problems.

"Hmmmph~ What a bright and crappy day! I see that you're still alive and kicking huh, S-Canor."

It doesn't matter, because in the end I'm doing nothing but reaching my hand and pulling them back from their darkness, and who would even be grateful with that. Sometimes I can't understand the plot where you save a damsel in distress and then got to be hongee bongee with her.

'Ossuu.'

"Saving this world in [Feather], is done. Making sure this world didn't got so easily destroyed by those pesky fellows, done."

Even though the war is almost over and the gods and goddesses from various worlds and dimensions had begun to find a conclusion for their own salvation, the [world] that was created out of "their" carelessness was still scattered like a leftover fruit.

Over time the fruit will rot because it is far from the blessing of its creator, and attract insects and pests that will destroy those [world]. This is where my mission is, which is to secure and contain the fruits while protecting them from all kinds of nasty pests and noisy insects before and after the [world] is infected.

Simply put, I'm like a lone-walking SCP foundation.

Even though I'll find rotten fruit later, then its still okay, because with the [Void] and ability of the [Feather] they will be able to come back to life along with the resident inside of it. However, there's still a problem regarding their condition and that is something affiliated with [Soul].

Hopefully later I can find a way so that even if I fail and get killed in battle, the worlds that have been in [Void] and [Feather] can still survive and continue their own story without having to rely on my power or the blessings of their creator.

"Nakiri-hime is already enjoying her live as the princess of Youkai realm along with Shirakami, Mio-dono and co. The existence of Ina as the priestess has been known and her friend will help her to handle that power. Hachamaa cooking has once again failed to conquer southern continent, and then... Hmm..."

Like a story in an anime, film or manga. These worlds also have their own storylines, and usually, the chosen people such as transmigrator or reincarnator are picked to whether support the storyline or maybe turn it into another storyline.

As for the creatures that choose transmigrators etc., they mostly called themselves as a ROB or creation god and whatever I don't care about their nicknames either, and then they manipulate the chosen to go into another [world] different from theirs so that those chosen would do their bidding.

Sometimes its to entertain them, sometimes to rescue the [world] from being destroyed, sometimes as a sign of their benevolence, while most of the time is to raise their position as the higher being.

'Agghh... Picking soul and whatever to grant their wish. I really hope they didn't just leave these [world] alone just like a trash.'

From the side of the souls who were chosen and moved to another [world], it might be very pleasant for them because they were able to get what they wanted in their wild imagination. However, the results would be different if they're the power-hungry type.

I have found many cases like this where the soul that is chosen and gets a lot of benefits from the ROB will become stronger and until it finally becomes stronger than the ROB itself.

Cases like this have caused a lot of bloodshed for these "higher beings" and one of the countermeasures is this thing called as a "Renewal system". The point of this regulation is a to satisfy both sides, but of course a loop-hole will always appeared.

"Hmm? That girl is, Uruha-san? What is she doing in here?"

After I walked down the stairs from this building and reached the basement to use the secret passage I had prepared, I didn't expect that I would met with her in this place.

That girl is a Loli Necromancer named Uruha Rushia. She was part of the same virtual idol group as Kiryu Coco in my original world and is also someone who could hurt me if I told her how flat her chest is.

Her role in this [world] is that of a young necromancer who is trying to improve her necromancy skills through communicating with the dead, and actually she lives in the interior of magical forest adjacent to the Myth realm that I had passed some time ago.

'Could it be she has started her adventure with Senchou, Danchou, and Fure peko?'

Seeing her existence in this place then it's possible if she also has starts her own adventures to explores this world and deepening her skill as a necromancer. I don't know when exactly her venture was, because at that time I only stopped for a while in the magical forest and went ahead to the Myth realm.

'Hopefully I didn't become the trigger for that.'

How should I put it, in my opinion Uruha Rushia is the type of woman who is very easy to seduce. Not because she's an easy girl or anything, but because she's like the type of girl who would scream "Kyaaa" when there's a romantic scene in a shoujo manga, but also someone who could scream "OrAAA!" if someone invites her to a fight.

'It doesn't seems like she's lost either... Could it be she has some plan with this place?'

"Well... She's a necromancer after all, and because Miko-chi probably is out in the casino again, so I think that shrine maiden will be no help."

The origin of this apartment!

At first this apartment was an ordinary building that was often used by many people to live, however, due to the growing trend of lodging such as those in games or fantasy stories, the owner of this apartment joined in with this trend in order to revive his business.

However its very unfortunate that all of the information above is a lie that I've used to gain this building for cheap from the owner.

After that I used [Feather] which I spread in every area of this building which can leave the impression that the building is haunted, when in fact it's not.

Perhaps this was the reason Uruha Rushia had come to this place, so that she could find another fan-dead and do another practice for her Necromancy. Maybe?

End of the origin of this apartment!

"H-Heloo? Is someone t-there?"

It can be seen that the loli necromancer was frightened by the creepy atmosphere of this abandoned building. Well... Even if it's abandoned I still take care of one room so that it can be used later.

'Hmm... Now this has become quite a complicated predicament. Should I run, or face her...'

If she really went on an adventure with Senchou, then granny- I mean the captain should be here too. But even though I've checked all the consciousness on the floors of this apartment by using the [Feather], there's no sign of anyone other than this loli necromancer at this place.

"..."

If I leave her in here alone, maybe the loli necromancer will also return home by herself later, and thus the chance of me planting a relationship flag with her will also disappear.

"Someone?? I-Is there someone in here?? H-Hyaaaa!! Ouchhy..."

While I was spying on the loli necromancer, I didn't expect if she's so frightened that she didn't even look down as she walked and got tripped over the wires that ran across the floor.

'Hmmm...'

The loli necromancer then got up and wiped her clothes which were stained with dust on the floor. Luckily she's only slightly scratched and the wound was also very easy to heal if using magic in this world.

"Uhkk... It hurts."

Ah... I forgot if she couldn't use healing magic. Just where is her friends?! Isn't this the moment where those shiny protagonist save her?! Just where are you when you're being needed?! And why am I starting to act like an annoying main character from Manhua?!

"Uuuuu... Is there really no one in here?? Uhhk..."

Oh bad, the loli necromancer actually got up and continued to force herself to look for something that wasn't here. What should I do, what should I do!??

'AHA!'

I suddenly had an idea, and with that idea I would be able to continue my mission without having to switch to the galge route. That's what I thought before I finally had to deal with the wrath of the loli necromancer with a chest as hard as the wall Maria.

*Dream world of the [Feather]*

It was an empty room inside the apartment that Zeimachi had. The room looks really dirty due to lack of maintenance and cleaning in the area.

"Hey..."

"Yes, Uruha-san?"

In the room there're also two human figures standing close to each other's faces and- No, perhaps to be more precise there's a person who was being tied up with someone else who was looking at the bounded person from a very close distance while holding a knife with her delicate arms.

"Hey hey..."

"Yes, Uruha-san?"

The face of the girl who keep holding the knife really looks very cute, coupled with the motif of her dress with the theme of a dark green butterfly, eyes that glow red from the glint of the knife in her hand and her green hair that shines in the sunlight from the curtains before she closes the curtain to hid the both of them.

"Why... ARE YOU KEEP CALLING ME URUHA URUHA HUUHH!???"

*Stab*

And the same girl also stabbed her knife into the shoulder of the man who was being tied to the chair she had previously provided.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you... Let me patch you up okay?"

All of a sudden, the girl carefully pulled out the knife stuck in the man's shoulder and returned to her soft and soothing way of speaking. She also bandages the wound with clothes that she has torn off (Don't ask who it belongs to) and sometimes shows an embarrassed look with her blushing face.

"... Hey, why did I smell another woman? There's no way you forget about me and cheat me for another girl right?"

"..."

However, the man still didn't want to follow what the girl named Uruha Rushia had said, and Uruha Rushia who saw this man's behavior, then returned again to how she's like when she stabbed the knife.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Why you didn't want to call my name? Hey? Do you hate me that much?"

"... I'm sorry Uruh- *Stab* Ukkhh..."

"Once again you called me with that name and I'll never forgive you. I don't want you to apologize, why? Why you did that? Are you feeling guilty because you're with another girl? "

"Uhh no, I mean..."

"Huh why are you so nervous? You're not being afraid right?"

"..."

"What's wrong? Why you didn't talk? Hey, what are you going to say?"

"Please listen to me Uruh- *Stab* Khkk..."

"What?"

"..."

"Hey? What are you going to say?"

"... I'm sorry..."

"What is it? What are you being sorry for?"

Currently the two of them are in a dream world created from the ability of the [Feather] as the Key of Consciousness. In contrast to the worlds Zeimachi visited on his mission, this place was more like a dreamland that closely resembled the real world.

Only people who have this dream, Zeimachi who has the key to creating this dream world, and other beings who have the power to enter other people's dreams can exist in that dream world.

Enough with this info, more importantly about this condition.

Zeimachi who had a so-called-bright-idea actually intended to make the girl or Uruha Rushia fell asleep so he could carry her away from that building.

He had indeed succeeded with that by using [Feather] and manipulating Uruha Rushia's dream in case she woke up in the middle of the journey. Currently in the real world Zeimachi is carrying Uruha Rushia out of the basement of the apartment with the girl who looks happy in her dream.

"A-Ahaha... I actually forgot if she's a menhera type, thankfully it's only a dream. Though... Just where did I plant a flag again? Why can't I remember about it..."

Unfortunately he didn't know and didn't read what in Uruha Rushia mind back then when he spied on her. If only Zeimachi read what was on Uruha Rushia's mind, maybe he who was in the dream wouldn't have to suffer such a terrible fate.

"Well! I'm rooting for you the me in dream! Don't give up even though she'll cut your limbs okay~"

With that, Zeimachi continued on his journey to take Uruha Rushia to where he expect her friends are, and so that later he could leave that world since he had completed his mission.

"As expected... Yandere kowai wa~"
