Chapter 46: What will become of me?

I went to my room. After realizing the reality I was living in, I had a hard time processing it all. I cried in tears as I covered myself with my blanket, everything I had believed until I was transported to another world...it wasn't real. I simply.... didn't want to believe it was.

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

It was already morning.

I opened my eyes all red and puffy, how long did I cry? I got out of bed and looked at my slippers, I stared at him for about 10 minutes listlessly. I walked slowly and headed to the dining room, I didn't even change, I was still in my pajamas.

『The food I prepared....is still there』-I looked depressed at the scene-『What an idiot I am, I've always lived alone』.

I made my way to the table.

『It's been a day already, besides it's been at room temperature, I'd better throw it away』.

I went to throw away the food I had so happily prepared.

"I'm going to make myself something to eat』.

The sound of cooking was the only thing I heard. The rest was silence, pure silence.

I ate what I prepared for myself. Why would I have a big table in the dining room if I'm the only one living here? I still don't know the answer. I sure thought I'd live here with some friends so I wouldn't be alone....

『(Friends!)』

I was surprised by that word.

『Menhera!』

Suddenly that name popped into my head. I got up from the chair and rushed to the door.

『(Menhera, the person who has been with me since I was little, the person I played with, the person who always supported me, the person who is my friend)』.

I opened the door and went to the other apartment next to me.

『Menhera, Menhera, Menhera!』

I was knocking on the door very desperately calling her name over and over again.

『Open me please! Please open me! It's me! It's me! It's me, Yash---』

*Open door*

"Stop knocking on the door like that, damn it!

An angry lady opened the door for me, she looks like a housewife.

"Why are you knocking on the door so much, kid?

『*scared* Uyyyyyyyy...*scared*.....Excuse me.....Are you Menhera, could you tell her to come out for a while?』-I became subdued and scared, it's normal, if someone knocks too hard on your door, anyone would react like that-.

『Menhera?』-The lady was confused-『There's no one here by that name』.

『...*concerned* What do you mean no?...Menhera, she's a small girl, about this height *I wave my hand* She wears a big black sweatshirt that goes down to her thighs, she wears big black tights that go above her knee, she has short bangs and her hair goes down to below her neck』.

I was telling her what my friend looked like. The lady had no idea who I was talking about, she just looked at me like I was a freak.

『.....Please.....*worried* Menhera, a cheerful and playful girl, sometimes silly, a charismatic girl, although sometimes she has like a screw loose.....A tender and cute girl! That anyone would fall in love with her! Of that Menhera I'm talking to you.....*head down* Of my childhood friend....』

『I'm sorry....But there is no Menhera here. I know all the neighbors in all the apartments in this big building. I've never heard of the girl you described』.

I was stunned by what she told me, I didn't know what to say then.

『You said she was your childhood friend, right?"』-The lady asks me a calm question.

『Yes....that's what I said』-I answered kindly-』.

『So. It wouldn't be by any chance』-The lady spoke-『Your imaginary friend?』-『Little children always make an imaginary friend so they won't be lonely. Maybe that's the case with you, aren't you too old for that kind of thing, kiddo?』

I lowered my head again, my face reflected a very big fear, my eyes were wide open because of what I just found out.

『I'm 16.....』-I raise my head and smile-『Yes, I'm too old to think about those things, thank you very much *reverence* You opened my eyes』-『Goodbye』.

I walked away as if nothing had happened, my face was normal.

『That boy.....』-The lady was restless and mysterious-『His eyes are red and he's wearing pajamas, he's probably on drugs, I'd better not go near him』.

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

I was already inside my house. I closed the door and sat in that place.

『Jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja.....Of course, that makes sense, I always lived alone, I was always alone. I created Menhera to keep me company, to believe I have a friend, so I wouldn't be alone. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Menhera is just my imaginary friend....ella is just my imaginary friend....』

I spent it leaning on the door while laughing, then started crying again.

『Menhera.....*cry* *sniff* Why? *cry*』

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

I was in my room, covering myself with a blanket while playing my games.

『What do I do now? What's going to become of me? What's my future?』-I was asking myself- 『I have to do something....But I don't want to do anything...I want to continue with this lifestyle.....Now that I think about it. If I've always been alone, how did I make a living until now? How come I have this house?...I don't know, I'm going to think it's a miracle. I used to go to school. I was 13 years old, I was in the first year of high school...Going back to school? I'm 16 now, I'm supposed to be in the first year of high school. But who am I kidding, I don't want to go back to school....Studies be damned. Now that.....back to square one, now what do I do?』

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

Mysteriously I woke up early.

I changed and to withstand the dawn chill I put on the scarf Draco gave me. And I went to see the city where I lived. The time I went to look for my family I only had a glimpse, this time I will see everything in more detail and I will take my time to see everything. After all, I have plenty of time.

I went down the elevator. And there was a receptionist at the entrance. She was a woman of about 24 or so.I'm not sure, since I calculated it by sight alone.

『Come back soon』-She kindly says and bows.

『Yes, thank you』-I kindly replied and went outside to see what was outside.

The first one I came across was a long track, apparently I live by the city center.

『What an idiot I am. I even forgot where I lived.

I walked and walked, strolling all over the city, as it was still very early the sun was just coming up, bathing the city with its rays. There weren't many people where I was going. The stalls were just starting to open, not all of them of course, but the classic ones. Like bakeries and things like that....

I was walking and passed by a dead end, then I heard voices in the distance.

『What are you saying! Come on, the sun is already up, we can have fun all day together, just come with us sweetie』-A guy with a bad omen was saying-.

『Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha, look, she's very shy, relax, we'll make you be very active in our own way』-A smaller guy was getting more and more attached to her-.

『*Sticks out his tongue* That's right, we've been urging you all night, you don't know how hard we've been holding back Let's go!』-A fat bearded guy said-.

The girl they were harassing was lying on the ground, she had a hood covering her face. She didn't say anything.

『*annoyed* I've had enough of you! If you won't go the easy way! Then go the hard way!』-The mean-spirited guy shouted, unleashing his anger.

I was watching the scene from afar, I just stared at them as if it was nothing. As I looked, she noticed I was there and looked at me. I looked at her unwillingly and turned my head away, I was retreating.

She stretched out her arm as if asking me for help as I was pulling back.

"Who are you raising your hand to!』-The mean guy readies his fist-『Take this bitch!』

The guy throws his punch.

*POWW*

The girl closed her eyes, she was waiting for the blow. But....

『*sigh*I can't believe I really meddled』-I was transformed and with my hand I stopped her punch by holding her wrist-『I'm going through a big melancholy damn you!』-『Retreat or prepare to feel my wrath』.

『Who are you?』-The little guy says-』.

I was just so upset that I didn't say anything.

『If you're not going to talk ,then we'll do it the hard way』-The fat guy and the little guy throw themselves at me-』.

The one I was holding with my hand, he tries to hit me with his other fist. I knee him in the belly which sends him flying through the air. The two who were watching didn't stop, I appeared in front of them, grabbed their faces and whipped them very hard against the ground, the ground broke. The one in the air was falling.

*POWM

The guy fell into my fist that was holding him up, his body was limp, almost dead.

『These kind of people I really hate them』-『That's it, don't walk alone again, got it?』-I turned to look at her somewhat displeased-』.

I saw how she was sitting on her knees lying down, I could tell she was a pretty girl just by looking at her body. I couldn't see her face as she had a hood up. I proceeded to retreat as I returned to my human form.

『You are.....』-She said in a low voice-.

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

After that, I went to a park and sat on a bench that was in front of a small pond.

『Really.....What am I going to do...?』-That question was going around in my head-".

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

Two months passed and I still didn't know what I was going to do. I never left my apartment again since that day I saved that girl. But I realized something very curious. Even though I don't do anything, I don't lose my water or electricity, nor do I lose the Internet or the cable TV cable I have. It's very strange.... Is someone paying for me? Or is it that this apartment where I live already comes like this. Well, it's better for me, I'm a winner. But what worries me is the kitchen....The refrigerator was empty, but the next day when I saw it again, it was stocked with all kinds of food, vegetables, meat, milk, eggs, everything. In the other drawers I saw that there was canned food and bottled water. But who was watching me? Who would be watching me? Wait! That would explain how I came to live all this time alone. A person I don't know has been watching over me from the shadows. That makes perfect sense to me. So that means.

『I'm not alone....』-Don't blink for a good moment-『I'm not alone *snif* *cry* I'm not alone *snif* *cry*』.

So I decided to meet that person who is helping me so I won't be alone anymore. Apparently that person only shows up when I don't have food anymore.....Uhmmm. So if I want to call her, then I have to eat everything, finish everything and she will come.

『That's what I'll do! *I'm going to eat until there's nothing left!』

I gathered all the food and started eating it all, obviously I'm not going to eat it all in one day. And that's how I did it, in 12 days I finished this month's food. Now all that's left is for that person to show up and we can finally be friends.

『I'll wait for you』

I placed a chair in front of the refrigerator and sat down to wait.

Several minutes later.

I'm still waiting.

Several hours later.

Still waiting.

A day later.

『...Is he not planning to come?....』

And so it was, that person didn't come until it was the first day of the next month. I went back to look at the refrigerator and it was again completely full.

『¡KKKYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!』

I didn't manage to see that person who was helping me. That month I only survived by eating the leftovers of what I had left.

『This time I am.... This time I'm going to get yourrrrrrrrrrrrrr!』

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

Months and months went by, and everything I tried to do was in vain. I couldn't manage to find her. She was very good at sneaking around, but at least I know it's a person, once I managed to see a leftover on the balcony in the middle of the night, it's definitely him. I tried everything, hiding, sneaking, I even used math to make a plan to catch him, I'm not very good at math, so it was impossible to catch her. That's how a year went by. I'm already 17 years old and I suffered a growth spurt, now I do look like a teenager, but... no trace of the guy who helps me from the shadows.

『You're a very tough opponent *yes yes* The toughest I've ever faced *yes yes* But .... I'm still not giving up! *yes yes* Tonight. If or if I get you *yes yes*』

I was on the rooftop of the building where I lived. With the Seikatsu Basho I'll be able to find you. The range it covers is this whole building. Everyone is sleeping now if I detect someone moving it will mean that it can only be you.

『(Come on , I'm waiting for you) (I'm happy and angry at the same time)』(⁎˃ᆺ˂)『(No matter if it's night, I can see in the dark. It must be because I'm a hairy cat.....No,no,no,no ,no.It must be because I'm a God, yes, that must be it. Yes.....jajajajajaja.....)』

*shouts*

In an alley near the building something was happening.

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

『Look who we have here, you again precious』-The ominous guy was saying-.

*『Pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow pow

『Listen to nothing but those screams That's not like that!』-The fat guy was saying-.

『Tonight now if you're going to be one of us *sticks out tongue* Be thankful we're meeting tonight after a long time』-The little guy was saying-』.

The girl was lying on the ground while taking blows, she was covering her head with her hands.

Kicks and blows she was receiving, she was not defending herself at all.

『And this time that guy won't save you again KYAAAAAAA! JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA』-The bad omen guy shouted-.

『What did you say you bastard?』-He was transformed behind them, he was very upset-.

『AAAAA, it's the same guy』-The fat man said scared- 『AAAAAA, it's the same guy』.

『Why are you saying that? That's bad luck!"』-The little guy scolded the bad omen guy.

『*sigh* Really. People like that-..... I really hate them...They should die!』-I shouted with all my anger.

I appeared in front of the bad omen guy and grabbed him by the head and kneed him hard, blood came out of his face, he ended up disfigured. With my tail I grabbed him by the neck and threw him upwards.

With the fat guy I pierced his belly, and with the momentum of the blow I sent him upwards as well.

The little guy was terrified, he was so scared, he started begging for his life.

"Please! Forgive us! We won't do it again! I swear to God! Please forgive me!

『I am a God』-My anger overflowed, I felt it wasn't me, I prepared my kick- 『And I don't forgive you!』-With anger I made my move-』.

I kicked him. My kick was aimed at his crotch, he went flying upwards. While the other 2 were falling. They finally got together and.....

『Die』-I raised my hand.

I launched a wave of energy towards them, a great light was seen throughout the city. These ended up disintegrated by my attack.

『*sigh* ...BUUUAAAAAAHHHHHHH...*cry* It can't be.....*cry* *snif* I wasted this chance to meet him....*cry*』-I flew into a corner of the alley and went into chibi mode,I returned my human form-.

『If only I hadn't saved her.....*cry*Why are you like this? *slam*Why are you like this? *slam*Why are you like this? *slam*Why are you like this? *thump*』

I was hitting my head for every sentence he said.

『(Oh, right)』-I stood up-『You're fine now, there's nothing to worry about anymore *smiled*』-I shake her hand and gently spoke-』.

She was lying on the ground, when she saw my hand, she raised her hand and took my hand, in that action her hood fell down, revealing a pretty girl with light pink hair.
