Sonata of the Abridged

*PoV of Sakura Zeimachi*

'Over here?'

Looking back, I shouldn't have followed Cera's words at that time. I can just run away from her and also erased this world once again to its former. Living in a world created from your wish may sound very exciting, however, feelings like that are very disturbing to me.

'...Then, over here?'

I'm a fool, that's what Cera said to me and maybe...it's true. I don't know why I agree with what she said but, I can't deny it either.

"There you are, come here."

This body has passed numerous battle and yet it's still the body of a human, a weak and a frail being which is me. Even though human is such a pitiful creature, I never regret to be one, even now.

"I see, so that's about it."

At least they're satisfied by their turn's. They're my self that has been created in the past because of my deep immersion and my stubbornness.

In the beginning, I'm nothing more than a quiet kid. In the past, I was a tormentor. There's also the time when I was the student of Jingwei. Even during that war, my Lolicon traits persist till the end. Then there's also that time when I used to hate everything.

I didn't brought a gun in my class though.

"A world created from your wish huh...Thankfully I had placed my seal for them, if not then it'll be another mess. Starting from Honkai, I'm surprised that Kyuushou in here but I guess she's also from different Honkaiverse."

The moment I found this body then it should be when I'll face Moriarty since that's what the memories told me, but until now her figure was not seen at all. Simply put, she's my long-time-ago friend who I had promised to see again, but I ended up ghosting her.

"Where is she? She's not lost right..."

If I'm not wrong she could also tracked me whenever they used the key of this world in their turns. So I picked the same move since there's also the chance that Moriarty was lost. I mean, I got lost a few times when I searched this body.

"Waiting or get what that Lolicon asked first? Hmmm, nah...I'll just wait here."

I took a seat on a swing that was in the playground I had passed. If I'm not mistaken, a playground for children like this was indeed provided near the housing complex so their children could enjoy their childhood.

When I was little, let alone a playground, just being able to play something was very great. Now it's different especially because I can play slides without losing my life, but...Damn, I didn't think my size would get stuck in the middle of this slide.

"Ah...Crap...I'm stuck."

----------------

"Ya, Moriarty. Know you'll come. If you have some time, could you give me a hand?"

In the silence and cold of the night, there was someone sitting on the slide provided by the playground. Even though his body that no longer looked fit to use the slide was wedged into the ride, the fool was able to greet Moriarty without any shame at all.

[Hmm...]

The fool is none other than him, Sakura Zeimachi who escaped from those ship girls by using his lies. Although he successfully separate from others and regained his original body, but he got lost a few times while he did that.

He's in the middle of understanding what his persona had gone through while being stuck in one of the ride in that playground. The playground was discovered when he got lost in search for his body and since he also wanted to try his old fun with kid's rides, this happen.

"Hyaa~ If you look at me like that I'll get blushing you know~"

He acted embarrassed when Moriarty kept quiet and continued to look at him with affectionate eyes. Scratching the back of his head, he gave off a tone that seemed irritating to some but not the same for the timeless girl.

He's using the clothes that were still attached when it was Loli-man's turn, which also connected to his taste in the past.

A long-sleeved Tosca shirt under a dark green vest, with light brown pants and a pair of black military boots. Also a dark blue hat decorated with white six star on the front and black glove on his left hand.

On his right wrist there is also a bracelet decorated with two twin bronze bells, the bracelet is none other than Loli-man's 'Bribe' which made a rattling sound every time he moved his hand.

[Hmm...]

"Ehh...Excuse me M-Moriarty? Why're you putting your leg right there?"

Moriarty had clearly heard his request, but she ignored it and approached him with other intentions. She walked over with a radiant face to the fool who knows nothing of her lesson with Himeko.

Firstly she put her right knee between his legs and guided his hands to hold her hips, her blonde hair flowed down to his thigh when she did that. Then she wrapped her arms around his neck before she fixated her eyes to the fool, her dress almost shown what lies beneath those thin fabric if she's not careful.

[Hmm...]

"You're cute no matter how I seen it. How are you?"

Even so, Moriarty paid no heed to his question. Like a cat who wanted to snuck into her owner clothes, Moriarty leaned her neck and rest her head on the man's left shoulder. She also bit his left ear before blowing his ear that could make a man swooned by her cuteness, at least that's what Himeko taught her.

[Hmm...]

"Moriarty?"

It's very unfortunate that whatever she did, the fool would accept it as a greetings from his long friend. This made their situation becoming more awkward because not only they're both flirting on a children's slide, he also annoyed her every time he acted like a fool and rejected her invitation.

Nevertheless, the timeless girl did not stop there. After she pulled her body back from him, she put both of her knee on his thighs and did the most terrible attack for that fool, yes, it was a hug full of affection which could hurt his soul because of his sin.

[Hmm...]

"U-Uwaah!? Moriarty-san?!! Please no hug! At least stop with the hug!! I'm very weak with hug!"

Moriarty unhesitatingly hugged the person she wanted to meet the most and ignored him since she didn't want hear nor say anything right now. She kept his body pressed against her and wanted to feel his warmth.

She could feel the beat of his heart which relaxed her mind and realized how big he's compared to her frame.

[Hmm...]

"N-No please stop with the hug!"

She pulled his body and moved her fingers around his back, and no matter how he protested about it Moriarty wouldn't let him go.

[Hmm...]

"O-Okay...But please let me go please! I really can't handle a hug!"

Just like a shadowy hand from a puppeteer, her hands that was touching his back starting to move upward while pressing against his spine. Every time she moved her hands, she always let out an attractive sway from her graceful fingers.

[Hmm...]

She ended their snuggling session and rest her head onto his chest. Unbeknownst to him, Moriarty was smiling happily at the fool. The smile that couldn't be seen by him, but enough for the timeless girl to show she's the most happiest girl in the world.

"...Thanks."

Due to her gaze that was currently directed downwards, Moriarty reached her hand towards his pants, or to be exact aimed straight onto his zipper. She wanted not only to feel the warmth of his soul and the soothing beating of his heart, but also from the things down there.

"Alright girl that's an Out, stop unzipping my pants as if I'm a pervert who wanted to getting into sex immediately after we met!!"

[...Hmm?]

" [Hmm...?] Ja nai Wa! *Sigh*....How are you?"

The timeless girl who had learned something new from Himeko at first wanted to unzip his pants, however her pristine hands got stopped by him because of his ideal. For now he wanted to ask about her well being even though he already know that from the feather and the memory recorded in his body.

This made him look like a spineless fool who always started off with a chit-chat for every girl he just met.

[How? Hmm...I want you...Please take me~]

Moriarty puts an enchanting smile and let out another whisper into his left ear. Looks like she almost forgot about that sentence for a while, but thankfully she could remember it again.

"Like I said, stop being horny! Huuuff...How long have you been waiting in here? Aren't you supposed to follow my body?"

He asked her since from what he knew in the recorded memories, Moriarty was supposed to follow the guide from his original body and then they'll soon met.

But to his surprise, hearing this question made her face immediately returned to normal

[...I'm sorry, at that time...I don't know about my feelings.]

Unfortunately, her doubts that were very high at that time making her indecisive whether to met him or not. She actually had arrived near his house, but it took everything she had and a few tries for her to get close.

When later she tried to get back to his house again, she heard the song that was sang by Hylia in the bath room. It was the song she had listened to before she stepped forward to where this fool was.

Recalling the emotion implied in the singer's singing even though she didn't quite understand it completely, Moriarty felt that her doubts were slowly fading away which gave her the push she needed for.

Remembering all those events Moriarty felt how stupid she was to keep doubting what her heart was saying when she found that fool in his house.

[But now I can tell you. Even though I'm not good with words, I can at least tell you this...]

Her determination slowly builded up as she muster her courage to let out her feelings. Her previously emotionless expression turned into a face filled with affection for him and decorated with a faint smile that was created from her pink lips.

The loneliness she had taste will be gone, and there'll be no more Moriarty the emotionless girl. Now she'll spoke out and tell the man who had promised her about what she really wanted and created another tale of a love story.

The beauty from the fulfillment of the promises between those two who have been separated for a long time and finally reunited under the bask of moonlight. They will then seal their promise and close the veil of tragedy with a sweet kiss.

In the closing section, Moriarty will live her beautiful life with her partner and they'll together face the hurdle of the scenario in this story. They'll then have their kids and live comfortably in this world where they sealed their vows to once again protect this world and never to be separated again.

The end and happily ever after.

...

....

.....

That's what you think...Right? Stranger.

However don't ever forget, since there's Honkai, then not everything will end into a brilliant tales of a love story. This story already had its own flow since the beginning and like what I told you in my conversation with Cera.

Moriarty will fall into the depth of betrayal and despair until ultimately she'll fall into her miserable death. Such is the end that has been depicted in this story, be it for the fool and the timeless girl they're going to be another birth of [Tragedy].

But do you think so...

Cera.

------------

"Sound amplifier check, mic test check, lighting check, others check, check and check. Okay, time to support that fool~ Lia! Roll it out!"

"Aye sir! The show will start everyone! Music start!"

In a place that was filled with many musical instruments, there's Hylia who stood on the stage while holding her mic. The place itself looked so big that it could fit hundreds of people with its well-arranged chairs, however there's only few who are watching her performance.

"""Ouuu!!!"""

"O-Ouu..."

Her spectator were none other than those ship girls, since they hold little experiences in Idol industry, Cera told them to be the guest and enjoy Hylia's performance. Unfortunately, the Golden Diva or Eden was not here.

There's only those six who trespassed into that concert stage and arbitrarily using the equipment that was there.

"Now...Let out your voice! Lia! [Destroy] This story like what you're going to do! I'll cover your back from the [Twist]."

"Yes!"

Cera looked really excited when she told Hylia to sing. Hylia is just as excited because this is her first concert in an unfamiliar place with her new friend.

When the powers of [Destroy] and [Twist] are mixed in this story, there might be an opportunity for them to break the unbreakable chain of [Plots].

Perhaps that was what Cera had been aiming for all along. However, the longer she used the power of [Twist] in her right eye, the greater the burden on her would be. If she continued to use that power, then she would be considered an [Anomaly] which is not a good thing.

'After everything I've done, I do look like a hypocrite now.'

...

' But I'll keep my word ▀▀▀▀.'

...

'There'll be no more [Tragedy]!'

Is that so...

Then so be it, since it'll only create another one of hypocrisy which barely changed anything at all. I'll continue to tell your farce, so show me how you'll shine the fool's way, Cera.
