759 Chapter 256 - The other world (part 1)

While the black-haired boy was trying to gather his thoughts while his head felt as if it was about to split in half from the avalanche of memories that didn't quite settle in yet, a sound of approaching footsteps came from the other side of the door and someone knocked on them.

After a few seconds, the door opened and a petite woman with jet-black hair peeked inside with a rather grumpy expression on her sleepy face.

"Aku... you promise me and your father that you will have a break from that game until the exams are over..."

She groaned, furrowing her brows strictly and glaring at the speechless boy.

Because... she not only called him Aku but also... wasn't she Learen...?

Zoemi's mother...? But... she was dead, right...?! What was she doing alive and wearing a cute pajama that was a bit too childish for her age...

"M... mom...?"

Zoemi – or Aku, as he was just called – shook his head and perked himself up on his arms staring at the woman in complete disbelief.
