《Aether: The World Inside a Dream》1.15 - Meant to Be

"So, Master Kazu, what do you think??” I ask, showing him the sundress I was wearing. It was lilac and had a nice finish. As a piece of complement, I also wore a summer hat.
"Um, not bad…”
“Gufufu” I smile, seeing he liked the outfit. "Lady, I’ll take this one too!"
“Oh, you sure will take a lot of clothes with you, won’t you?”
“But of course, I need to have several options to satisfy my Master~”
The succubus attendant smiles. "You do make a nice couple."
“N-nice couple??” I get completely red hearing her comment. Master Kazu also blushes a little.
Ah~~ I’m so glad we are alone like this together, after all, moments like this are so rare! Can’t remember the last time we had this opportunity, because we never had one to start with.
By the way, we're in a contemporary girls' clothing store. I made a point of bringing him here to get his opinion. Yeah, fufu, since Akami didn't show up in Aether today, I thought of making the most of this day, having a super date with him!
But it turns out there are still some obstacles to overcome to make this the best date ever. Master Kazu occasionally mentions something related to Akami, saying he's worried because it's the second day in a row that she doesn't appear, not even in their school. But, come on Master, she must have just gotten a little sick back on Earth, think about me a little too, grr...!
Anyway, I prepared a list of things for us to do here today. I'm sure by the end of the day Master Kazu will have completely fallen in love with me! Like this, we’ll be able to get to the ‘finals’ with no external interference~

The attendant approaches me. “I can see you're having some trouble pleasing him 100%. What do you think I show you a super nice outfit that will make his jaw drop??”
“What?? Seriously?” She shakes her head positively and then I accompany her to where the outfit was, leaving Master behind. Of course, considering this is a good one, I’ll take this as an opportunity to surprise him after.
I return to where he was, holding a bag.
“Um? Won't you get dressed?”
I shake my head from side to side. “No, this one will be for another time..., gigi~”
Master Kazu narrow his eyes as if he was thinking about what kind of piece could it be. Don’t worry my beloved one, if all goes well, tonight you will see me wearing this~
We then left the store.
“Okay, the next place to go is the park!”
“The park? Do you say the amusement park?? Whew, this city does have lots of entertainment, doesn’t it??”
“Yes! And they're all things you've never seen before!”
His eyes sparkle with excitement for a moment, but then he remembers something that makes him uncomfortable again.
Tch, he must be thinking about her right now... grrrr! Let's see if he stays like that even after the park!
We go to the place and soon enough he opens wide his mouth, surprised by the insane oddities that were around here, like a haunted house, with real ghost dreamians! Roller coaster, without tracks! Freeride in a futuristic flying fortress, carried by a whale! Mortal cars, which are a scarier version of the bumper cars, since they are alive! House of portals, where you use weapons to create portals! And more and more!
We go in all of them, one by one.

Oh, how awesome to see my Master's face! He thinks he's brave enough to go to any attraction, but he's the one who gets somewhat scared and sick!
“Shit… This deadly spinner we just went to was a little too much... We stayed until rotation speed five and I almost felt my stomach coming out of my mouth... Seriously you had already gone in it before and reached speed eight?”
“Ten, actually.”
"What…?"
“Gufufu, I'm an expert when it comes to fun in general, don’t you ever forget that~”
"Okay, okay, I'll remember that... Um, if Murakami were here, I wonder how fast she'd reach. Hum? Are you okay Loveta?”
“Yeah… It's nothing.” I turn my face to the side. “Oh! Let's go to that one!”
I take his hands and start pulling him towards the romantic duck.
“Hey, hey… calm down! Why the hurry?”
“Come on, just follow me!”
Like this, we join the line of the attraction.
“Phew!” He sighs, after being pulled a few feet, and just then notices the attraction we were about to go. “Wait… this is not like the previous ones.”
“Fufu! After all those insanities we went to before, we need to end the park with something peaceful... and romantic, don’t you think?”
He scratches his head a little awkwardly and again looks away. “Well, if you say so…”
"…Wait here a bit, I'll grab something for us.”
I go to a snack bar near the line and return with two popsicles in the shape of a half heart. “Here~ Your favorite~”
“It tastes like orange! How did you know this was my favorite?”
"I love you, Master. Of course I would know something as trivial as this…”
“Ah, haha…” He laughs a bit and then goes silent for a while to start talking again. “By the way, Loveta, what do you think could have happened to Murakami? Do you think she might just be sick? Because going two days in a row without even showing up on Aether is a bit too much, since you just need to sleep to appear here... huh? Loveta?”
He notices a tear running down my cheeks. I quickly wipe it away with my arm. "Um... it's getting late, isn't it? Whew, I didn't even see the time passing by! Better leave this one for later, and go back to the inn.”
“Go back already? But we still have time…”
“If you want to stay here, fine, but I'm leaving.”
“What?” He stretches his arm to catch me, but misses, as I leave him behind.
You sure are an idiot, aren’t you? Thanks for ruining this day.

The Unsorcerer
DISCLAIMER: The cover pic is not my original work. Credits goes to the Illustrator. This is a story of a man named Cipher, a 21st Century man reincarnated in a world where magic is the way of life. In the continent of Iarica, the people of this land are able to wield the crystals or magic stones for whatever purpose they desire. These people are called "Sorcerers", blessed individuals who are favored by the Gods and gifted with an ability to manipulate "Mana", the energy of the World and the energy source that makes all of the machines run. Cipher in contrast, is not. He is an "Unsorcerer", a person unable to wield the crystals and mana and eventually magic itself. Because of this "defect", he is shunned, ridiculed, and abused by most people and eventually by the whole society. Little did Iarica and her denizens know, this so-called reject of society is more than what he seems... Note: This humble Author-san is not a native English speaker, so there will be grammatical errors. Also the chapters are short, about 1K words. However I will try my best efforts on reaching the 2k-4k words threshold. Another note is that this will be a Harem fic, so to anyone who are not fan of the genre this may not be your cup of tea. Any criticsm are welcome as long it can help me to improve my writing skills since I'm just a newcomer in this scene.

Stitches
When Lidiyana awoke, she wasn't alone. Instead, she returned to the world with Gareth - a man who tended to her after a horrific accident left her in a coma. He's strange, but also kind in his own way, helping her regain her memories and teaching her about their former relationship. However, as Lidiyana learns more about the world around her, things may not exactly be as they seem. Stitches is a fantasy web serial focusing on interpersonal drama, surreal horror and adventure. As a forewarning, it should be noted that Stitches is not for all audiences, as it heavily features various horror elements including some gore and body horror alongside minor elements of sexuality, nudity, drinking, etc. I know there are content warnings, but I did want to clarify exactly what's going on here. Stitches should update every Friday, barring exceptional circumstances.
