“Hey, Exy-Kun! Can you help Orfa-Chan bring this Cream Soup to the Bard-San’s House?”

“Why do you ask me?”

“Because you are the only one who already finish with your task, alright?”

Eh? Really? Lilina-Oneechan ask Exy-kun to help Orfa? Please… Say yes, Exy-kun!!!

“Okay lilina-Nee~, I’ll help Orfa-Chan since her face right now looks like a child who will give a birth anytime soon, ahaha~”

Yay! Exy-kun say yes… but,

“Muuu~ Exy-Kun so mean!”

“But that’s true you know, Orfa-Chan”

“Muuu~, why Exy-kun say something like that to Orfa? Exy-kun is so mean… hump!”

Before Orfa realize it, Orfa already puffed her cheek while she grumbling. Of course, it is because what Exy-kun’s said. After all, Orfa is not fat you know!

“Okay Lilina-Nee, I’ll go right now!”

“Lilina-Oneechan, Orfa too!”

“Be careful both of you!”

After hear what Lilina-Oneechan’s said, Orfa wave her hand to Lilina-Oneechan and after that chase after Exy-kun.

Muuu~ Why Exy-kun leave Orfa behind? But, Orfa doesn’t really care about that anymore… more importantly Orfa can go to Bard-Jii’s house with Exy-kun.

“*Giggle* ?he~ he~ hem~? *Giggle* ?he~ he~ hem~ ham~?”

While Orfa walk beside Exy-kun, Orfa hummed a song that Exy-kun taught Orfa while Orfa still 4 years old. Before Orfa realize it, Orfa walk while sometimes do a bunny hop.

Hmm? Why Exy-kun make an angry face? What if… Exy-kun didn’t like walk beside Orfa? What should Orfa do?

“Hmm? Why Exy-Kun looks so scared?”

“Ah! Haha~ don’t worry about that, I suddenly have the urge to punch myself”

“Hee~ Exy-Kun weird *Giggle*”

It seems it is not because of that. But, why Exy-kun suddenly wants to punch himself? Exy-kun is weird.

“So, Orfa-Chan… what’s with your magic practice with Lilina-Nee?”

“Hmm? Its really tough you know~ Orfa currently can only use dark attribute Magic until intermediate class but its still make Orfa’s head dizzy, you know~”

As Orfa said before, currently Orfa can use Dark attribute magic until intermediate class. Even though Orfa can use Dark attribute magic, but sometimes Exy-kun said that Orfa has affinity for water, thunder, spirit, and support type too. So, Exy-kun said that if Orfa has spare time, Orfa must trying to learn all of the 4 magic type too. Even Orfa doesn’t know why Exy-kun can say such a thing but as what Exy-kun said, Orfa already learn all of that. Currently all of type magic, except support, already reach intermediate class too.

Not just that, if Exy-kun has a time, Exy-kun will come to see Orfa when Orfa’s trying to learn magic beside dark attribute and Exy-kun always give advice to Orfa like imagining something in mind is very important before use magic or when make a chant Orfa must lower her own voice so another person can’t hear it and another useful advice.

But why Exy-kun always failed to use intermediate class magic?

That’s what always Orfa think every times Orfa saw Exy-kun trying to learn intermediate magic. From what Orfa heard, Lilina-Oneechan say that Exy-kun is a genius because Exy-kun can already use two type attribute magic while Exy-kun first time learning magic because people can use two type magic in the same time normally after they turn 15 years old. But if that’s right, then Orfa is a genius too, you know? But, Orfa believed that Exy-kun is more a genius and strong person because every time Orfa got in trouble, Exy-kun will always there to help Orfa.

“Ah! Exy-Kun, we already arrived at Bard-Jii’s home”

“Then Lets give it to him and we can go back to the Orphanage as soon as possible”

“Um!”

Exy-kun knocked Bard-Ossan’s house several time before he opened it.

“Why are you so loud in the Morning?!”

“Ugh!”

“Uwawawa~”

Suddenly, Exy-kun got hit in his head by Bard-Jii. Orfa doesn’t know what the reason but Orfa thinks it is strange.

Why Bard-Jii suddenly hit Exy-kun in his head? Is Exy-kun did something bad to Bard-Jii?

While Orfa still thinking about that,

“I say I’m sorry about yesterday Bard-Ossan! And you mustn’t hit a child you know”

“What kind of child that steal your cloth even your pant after that sold it in the black Market to buy a new one piece cloth for Orfa-Chan!”

Its mean The cloth that Orfa use right now is not belong to Orfa?

“Uwawa~ so-sorry Bard-Jii, Or-Orfa will take off this cloth immediatelly”

“Uwaa! Stop it Orfa-Chan! Don’t heard what Bard-Ossan say just a moment ago!”

“Orfa-Chan, don’t worry about that, just don’t take off your cloth please, I beg you!”

When Orfa trying to undress the onepiece cloth that Orfa use today, suddenly Bard-Jii and Exy-kun stopping Orfa from doing it.

After that, Bard-Jii tell us to come in and give Orfa a candy after Exy-kun give the Cream soup to Bard-Jii.

“Tell Lilina-chan, thanks for the Cream Soup, Orfa-Chan”

“Okaay~”

“Good for you Orfa-Chan!”

“Um!”

While smiling to Orfa, Exy-kun stroked Orfa’s hair. Whenever Exy-kun do it, it make Orfa happy because it feels good.

Ehehe~ Exy-kun’s hand is really warm… and this candy is sweet~

“*Giggle*”

“Then… why you come in too, little bastard?”

“What with this different of treatment between me and Orfa-Chan?!”

“Orfa-Chan is cute after all~! So, there is no problem!”

“Hey, but I’m in the same age as her, you know! Even I’m agree that Orfa-Chan is very cute”

Cute? Orfa… is cute?

“Its different from a barbarian child like you! Orfa-Chan is more and more Cute compare to you”

“Then don’t compare it to me! Indeed Orfa-Chan is cute but… whatever, just teach me about the sword technique already, Ossan!”

Exy-kun and Bard-Jii said it two times that Orfa cute… Ehehe~

When Orfa hearing it, suddenly Orfa feels so embarrassed. Orfa feel like Orfa’s face is hot… but Orfa not sick, you know. Orfa trying to use her hand to hide his face because its too embarrassing.

Uuu~ Exy-kun and Bard-Jii… so mean Uuu~

“Haaa~ that again. Then after you can do it, what will you do with that?”

“I’ll go to coliseum and start my Journey of course!”

“Then My answer is no!”

When Exy-kun and Bard-Jii still arguing about sword technique as usual, Orfa remember that Lilina-Oneechan ask Orfa to buy something in the market district. So, Orfa told both of them about it and leave after that.

Really… why Exy-kun want to learn sword from Bard-Jii, that much?

Even Orfa doesn’t know the reason, Orfa always believe that Bard-Jii will say “Yes” later in the future. After all, Orfa always watch whenever Exy-kun swinging his sword in the dawn until the sun raising. Maybe Exy-kun doesn’t know about that.

Shortly after Orfa walk while thinking about that, Orfa arrived at the Orphanage and searching for Lilina-Oneechan.

“Lilina-Oneechan, Orfa already gave the Cream soup to Bard-Jii… and suddenly remember that Lilina-Oneechan ask Orfa to buy something in the market, right?”

“Suddenly? Are you perhaps… forgot about that, Orfa-Chan?”

“So-sorry Lilina-Oneechan”

“Fufu… because Orfa-Chan is cute and honest, Onee-chan will forgive you”

While smiling to Orfa, Lilina-Oneechan patted Orfa’s head and told Orfa to buy some Apuru, Kyarot, Gyarlik, and Gyandam.

“Lilina-Oneechan, can Orfa ask something?”

“What is it, Orfa-Chan?”

“Is it… Lilina-Oneechan wants to make Apuru Bread for dinner?”

“Orfa-Chan is smart~”

Yay! Its Orfa’s favorite food, you know!

Before Orfa realize it, Orfa already been hugged by Lilina-Oneechan.

A short time later, Orfa do the errand to go to the market district.

In the market district, you can buy anything from cloth, weapon, armor, magic book, potion, ingredients, etc. not only that in here there is a lot of people who will buy something before they go to start their journey or want to watch a coliseum match because the coliseum’s location is near from here.

There is a lot of race that live in this town and they live here without problem. From what Orfa hear, in this country there is only strong people so Lilina-Oneechan make us learning magic while we still 3 years old, so we can survive if something bad happen to us child who live in orphanage.

“?La~ Lam~ La~?… Ah! It’s the shop!”

When Orfa walk while hummed, finally Orfa reach the shop that Lilina-Oneechan said. There is Lana-Obachan alone in the stall as usual.

“Oh ya! Orfa-Chan… this day you didn’t come here with Exy-kun?”

“Lana-Obachan, good morning! Exy-kun now as usual ask Bard-Jii to teach him about Bard-Jii’s sword technique”

“Hahaha… he surely did it again every time they met, so… what Lilina-san ask you to buy, Orfa-chan?”

“Lilina-Oneechan told that Orfa must buy 5 Apuru, 10 Kyarot, 3 Gyarlik, and 2 grill Gyandam. And here is the money, Lana-Obachan”

“Wait here a moment, Orfa-Chan… 5 Apuru is 100 copper, 10 Kyarot is 120 copper, 3 Gyarlik is 90 copper, and 2 Grill Gyandam is 200 copper… so, all of them is 510 copper. Yup! Its exactly 510 copper, Orfa-Chan”

After Lana-Obachan finish calculating the money, she is giving Orfa a big brown basket. Apuru is a red fruit that grow in the tree around the city, it have a sweet taste but the green one is bitter. Kyarot is an orange vegetable that grow inside the soil, it usually use in soup and a food for usaga. Usaga is an animal that hop to move like “Pyon Pyon” that have a long ear and brown fur… a very cute animal. Gyarlik is a white vegetable that can make you cry while trying to cut it while Gyandam is the main ingredient to make a bread dough.

Uuu~ its really heavy… if only Exy-kun here….

“Be careful Orfa-Chan!”

“Thank… you, Lana-Obachan”

After that, Orfa leave Lana-Obachan’s stall and trying to go back to the Orphanage but while Orfa want to turn right to the Orphanage direction, Orfa coincidentally looks a girl that crying when 3 big human person bring her to the alley while grabbing her hair.

That girl… is crying! But Exy-kun not here with Orfa? What should Orfa do… but—

Before Orfa realize it, Orfa take the left turn and trying to see what happen to the girl that the 3 man bring to the alley. When Orfa arrived at the entrance way of the alley, Orfa doesn’t see anything nor hear something.

There is not anyone in here….

Trying to leaving that place, suddenly Orfa hear a sound. A crying sound. The sound is weak but, Orfa can still hear it from here.

Carefully approaching the direction of the sound, Orfa walks slowly trying to not make any sound. Slowly and carefully.

When Orfa arrived, Orfa can see the 3 man are punching the girl at the abdomen after that kick her several times before throw her to the cage after she lost consciousness.

Wha-what should Orfa do? Exy-kun is not here, now….

Scared because the 3 man in front of her, Orfa can’t move her leg.

“So, what did you do in here… little girl?”

“!”

Before Orfa realize it, there is another person behind her. Grabbed Orfa’s shaking shoulder and ask that question. Because of that, the 3 man in front of Orfa realize her existence.

Wha-what should Orfa do?

“W-what… did Ojii-San to do to… that girl?”

“What she said? Ahaha~”

“Its funny, huh?”

“From her looks, he is from a demon race, huh….”

“But her face is pretty, can we just bring her too”

“Wait… is she mumbling something?”

“Forget it… maybe she will crying soon”

“Ahaha~ you’re right”

“Then just knock her soon before she crying”

“!”

B-bring Orfa? To where?

When Orfa hear what the man talking about, unconsciously Orfa start a chant of her magic.

Remember what Exy-kun’s said… chant it quietly… so another person didn’t realize it.

†O Power That Hides in the Darkness†

†Bring the Punishment to Those Who are Trying to Interfere with My Fate†

[Shadow Thorn]

After Orfa Finishing her chant, a very long shadow like whip come from the shadow of all the man around Orfa and trying to bind their body starting from the feet.

It seems all of the men in front of Orfa still don’t realize it that the shadow is circling their body from inside of their cloth before make the thorn appear.

“Argh!”

“What is this?”

“Shit! I can’t move my body”

“Its… Magic? Who chant it?”

“It… works! As expected from Exy-Kun’s advice!”

“Wait?! This girl… when she starts chanting her magic?”

“I don’t know I don’t hear anything”

Ignore what the man are talking about, Orfa rushed to the direction of the girl that lost her consciousness inside the cage that still open.

“Hey! Wake up!”

“…”

After several times Orfa slapped the girl’s cheek until their turn red, the girl still not open her eyes.

Give up with that, Orfa drop her basket and carry the girl behind her.

Heavy… muu~

Leaving all of the man behind, Orfa finally arrived at the entrance of the alley but, suddenly Orfa’s vision turn black.

***

“Mmm…”

Slowly Orfa open her eyes and found herself inside a cage.

“!”

Whe-where is it?

Confused, Orfa trying to move her leg and hand but… Orfa can’t move it. Really what happen to Orfa’s body?

When Orfa look down, Orfa can see that her foot is already tied up with rope. Trying to look around, Orfa found a girl that lost her consciousness from before.

Several child crying around her. Orfa’s eyes are starting to get wet but suddenly she remembers about Exy-kun. Whenever Orfa Play hide and seek, Exy-kun will always found her quickly. That’s why, Orfa shouldn’t crying right now.

Exy-kun will come to help Orfa! Orfa believe Exy-kun will come!

Even Orfa trying to use her magic, Orfa already know that it is useless for now. after all, there is too many people outside. So, even Orfa can get out now, they will catch up with no time. That’s why it is useless right now.

Orfa doesn’t even know how long Orfa already in here. Maybe Lilina-Oneechan will worry about Orfa because Orfa still doesn’t get back to the Orphanage.

Maybe Lilina-Oneechan will angry to Orfa… and what about Exy-kun? Even Exy-kun found Orfa… can Exy-kun beat all the bad guy here alone? Maybe if Exy-kun bring Bard-Jii with him, Bard-Jii can successfully save us without any problem. After all Bard-Jii is the person who save Orfa and Exy-kun while Orfa still a baby.

While thinking about that, suddenly Orfa Crying. Even though Orfa already hold it. In the end Orfa still scared. Please… Exy-Kun, save Orfa. After all, Exy-kun is Orfa’s Hero…you know!

“Boss, what should we do this time if there is a broken goods in here?”

“Don’t worry about it, even if they are broken goods, some of twisted noble will buy them to make full of their lust.”

“!”

Broken Goods? Is he mean us?! But… but Orfa is living things and not a goods, you know!

After suddenly heard what the bad guy outside the cage talking about, Orfa’s body shivered before aware about that. Really what will happen to Orfa? What if Exy-kun doesn’t find Orfa in the end? Will Orfa not see Exy-kun again? Orfa doesn’t want that!

Silently, Orfa trying to chant her magic again but that time suddenly the cage that hold Orfa and the other child around are gone.

What… happen? The cage is… gone? But, why the bad guy outside don’t react with it? Aren’t their realizing it?

Doesn’t know what to say, suddenly someone jump from the rooftop and slowly go to this direction.

A boy with his cloth that already soaked in the sweat carefully approaching this direction. With his black horn in his left side of the head give a refreshing smile to Orfa’s direction and suddenly the rope that bind Orfa is gone. Without fail….

Exy-Kun!

Without a second time to think, Orfa suddenly jump to Exy-kun’s direction. Crying while trying to hold back her voice.

When Orfa realizing it, Exy-kun already patted her head. With this alone is enough to make Orfa feel calm. Orfa hugged Exy-kun shirt strongly to make sure that Exy-kun in front of her is real.

Exy-kun’s hand is warm. Its really Exy-kun!

“Don’t worry, Orfa-Chan… you’re fine now.”

“*hic*… *hic*”

Not long after Exy-kun said that, Exy-kun tell Orfa 3 things.

First, Orfa must lead all of the children here to leave this place as soon as possible while Exy-kun watch from the back. Second, after Orfa got outside Orfa must tell the children to not look around and keep running without looking back no matter what happen until Orfa find a save place. Last, Orfa must find Bard-Jii and tell him that Exy-kun is here too with Orfa.

“*nod* *nod*”

After that, Orfa lead the children to run outside the building.

“Everyone, Hear me! We must run to the outside of the building now… follow me!”

Shortly after, Orfa started running away from this place and reaching the outside of the building after that tell the children to not looking around no matter what happen. But still some of the children trying to look around and started screaming but they still running and follow Orfa.

“!”

Suddenly Orfa hear a door voice that slam so strongly. But because Exy-kun said that we must running forward no matter what happen, Orfa mustn’t looking back either no matter what happen.

After running far enough from that place, Orfa trying to look for Exy-kun but,

“Exy-Kun… not here?!”

“…”

“Is anyone here saw the boy that came to save us before?”

“Onee-Chan… that boy who save us got locked inside the building”

“!”

When heard that, Orfa trying to get back to that building but suddenly remember what Exy-kun said, Orfa must find Bard-Jii no matter what happen. That’s why Orfa stopped and starting to chant her magic.

†O Animals That Live in the Realm of Spirits†

†Answer My Call and Obey My Commands†

[Spirit Summoning – Wind Falcon]

After finishing the chant, suddenly a gust of wind gather in front of Orfa and from that gust, a green bird with emerald eyes appear in front of Orfa.

“Please… find Bard-Jii and bring him here!”

“*Kwa*… *Flap*…”

After transferring the image of Bard-Jii through the Spirit link, Wind Falcon fly very fast to the sky. This is an intermediate class magic from Summoning attribute.

Exy-kun is right… if Orfa didn’t learn this magic before, then Orfa didn’t know how to find Bard-Jii at this kind of situation. Exy-kun… please wait, Orfa will bring Bard-Jii to save you, Exy-Kun!

When Orfa trying to hope for that, suddenly Orfa here a loud sound from inside the building. Orfa doesn’t really know what sound is that but Orfa really worried about Exy-kun’s situation right now.

While thinking about that, tears started flowing again from Orfa’s eyes.

“Orfa-Chan!”

“Orfa-Chan! I’m glad that you’re safe… but, where is Exy-kun?”

Not long after that loud voice come from inside the building, Orfa hear a voice that Orfa remember clearly from behind Orfa’s back. Its Bard-Jii’s and Lilina-Oneechan’s voice.

“Bard-Jii, Lilina-Oneechan! *hic*… *hic*…”

While Hugging Lilina-Oneechan, Orfa crying once again but,

“Where is that little bastard, Orfa-Chan?”

“!”

When Bard-Jii ask about that, Orfa stopped crying and pointing her left index finger to the building.

“Please… Bard-Jii! Save Exy-kun! …after Exy-kun… *hic*… save Orfa and the other children in here… *hic*… Exy-kun… *hic*… *hic*… got trapped alone in there!”

“What!”

“That little bastard! How reckless he can be?! He doesn’t even know how to use a sword, correctly!”

After hear what Orfa said, Bard-Jii suddenly rushing to the building. It is the first time that Orfa looks Bard-Jii move very fast like that.

But, once again a very loud voice can be heard from the building direction. Loud enough to be hear very clearly from here. From what Orfa can see, The building surrounded by the dust. As if something exploded in there, the sound can be heard like *Dhuam*. It is a very loud sound. More loud than any of other sound Orfa heard before.

After hearing it, Bard-Jii increase his speed even more. Lilina-Oneechan can only make a very worried face while open her eyes wide because of the sudden explosion.

Exy-Kun! Exy-Kun! Exy-Kun!

Without realizing it, Orfa run back to the direction of the building.

“Orfa-Chan! Stop! Don’t go there!”

“Exy-Kun!”

Ignoring Lilina-Oneechan’s voice, Orfa run as fast as possible. Even Orfa’s fall, Orfa standing and running again. Orfa’s feet is hurt because of sudden fall but Orfa can still bear it.

When Orfa arrived in front of the building, Orfa can see a lot of people that already turn into a lump of meet around this area. The body of human that got cut off very cleanly can be seen clearly from here. A very wide pool of blood is like the sauce on top of omelet make a very disgusting sight in this area. A head that still rolling around because of the sudden explosion inside the building approaching Orfa’s direction. A lot of finger that lost its hand scatter around everywhere.

“*Hoek*… Exy… *Hoek*… -Kun…”

Orfa’s Vomit several times until Orfa’s body lost his strength. Orfa’s head suddenly feel dizzy. Even Orfa’s heart is keep beating very fastly.

Exy-Kun!!!

That’s the only reason that Orfa can still move her body. But every time Orfa move her legs, Orfa fall again and again because Orfa already lost all of her strength neither to feel her body nor her legs anymore. But at that time, Lilina-Oneechan helped Orfa to stand up again and carry Orfa’s body with Orfa’s hand at Lilina-Oneechan’s waist.

“Thankyou… Lilina-Onee—”

“…”

While Orfa look at Lilina-Oneechan, her expression is so dark even her face is pale. Her eyes is like a dead fish. And around her mouth Orfa can see some of puked left.

Even Lilina-Oneechan can’t bear this kind of situation. But more importantly… Exy-Kun!

Step by step, we approach the building. From the entrance we can see Bard-Jii standing absentmindedly while his sword lay on the floor. From the building entrance, we can smell a roasted meat from every corner of the building.

“Bard-Jii… w-what happen?”

“…”

Bard-Jii doesn’t answer Orfa’s question. Seriously, what happen inside?

“Hi-Hiyaaaaa!!!”

“W-what… kya… happen… Lilina-Oneechan!”

Even Orfa asked that, Lilina-Oneechan keep screaming while Crying without telling Orfa anything after suddenly dropped Orfa’s body without any concern. Even Orfa trying to look forward, because its full of dust its hard to see what happen in front of Orfa.

Because of Lilina-Oneechan sudden turn of behavior, it makes Orfa feels anxiety. Tears once again pour down from Orfa’s eyes without knowing the reason.

Even Orfa move so stagger, Orfa trying her best to move forward.

“Kya!”

Even Orfa fall once again, Orfa still trying to moving while crawling. When Orfa arrived beside Bard-Jii, Orfa can see that Bard-Jii clench his hand until Bleeding. Not stop at that, Bard-Jii’s mouth is starting to bleeding too because he bite it himself. Even now he, still asserting his eyes from what he saw in front of him. Every time Orfa move her hand to crawling forward Orfa’s dress got drenched by Bard-Jii’s blood that alredy made a pool beside his foot. Even Orfa want to stand up, Orfa can’t move her legs no matter what she try.

W-what happen? Orfa… can’t see it anything from here… Exy-kun is still alive, right? right?

Screaming and crying voice from Lilina-Oneechan echoing through the building. Even Orfa doesn’t want to admit it, Lilina-Oneechan Calling Exy-Kun’s name several times.

Really what happen to Exy-kun….

When Orfa arrived in front of a mass of rock, Orfa can see two figures like statue on top of it. This is looks like a portrait from a man who keep struggling to keep living but end up dying while smiling even their body broken all around. In front of that man, is a figure of a man that already burn until only the flesh left that already turn into dark brown trying to kill a human in front of him while his hand hold a sword that already piercing the human’s left hand. Its like the brown man that standing in his dead is a symbol of evil itself.

*****

“Exy… -Kun?”

“…”

There is no answer from the figure that keep smiling even his left hand got pierce until the end of the shoulder by the long green sword.

Orfa-chan you’re more talented in magic than me.

The memory when Exy-kun praised Orfa for the first time after she can use intermediate class magic.

Orfa-Chan… keep trying to use it even if you fail.

The memory when Exy-kun inspired Orfa to keep trying even she failed.

Orfa-Chan that’s the wrong way to fold the laundry you know

The memory when Orfa can’t even fold the laundry correctly and Exy-kun give her an example to do it.

Orfa-Chan, because you’re too cute, you’ll be a very beautiful bride in the future.

The memory when Exy-Kun smiling gently while teasing her about the future of her that Exy-Kun guessed.

Orfa-Chan… don’t worry you’ll be fine now.

The memory when Exy-Kun patted her head after she was crying because she broke Lilina-Oneechan’s flowerpot.

Orfa-Chan don’t be scared, because I am here to protect you

The memory when Exy-kun saved her after being bullied in the town because of her race.

Orfa-Chan, no matter what happen, I’ll always keep my promise to you

The memory when Exy-kun promised that he will always stand by Orfa’s side no matter what happen.

Orfa-Chan…

Orfa-Chan…

Orfa-Chan…

Suddenly a lot of memories keep flowing inside Orfa’s head. Orfa can remember the voice of Exy-Kun clearly. But why suddenly Orfa think about the past event with Exy-Kun. Why,

“W-why… you don’t answer Orfa’s call?”

“…”

“Nee~ Exy-Kun! Answer me!”

“…”

“Why… Exy-Kun ignore Orfa? Exy-Kun… *hic*… please… answer Orfa’s call… just once… *hic*… just once more time is enough… please…”

“…”

But, no matter how many times Orfa called him, Exy-Kun just smiling while close his eyes.

Orfa try to climbing while crawling to where Exy-Kun’s place is.

Just a while ago, Exy-kun still talked to Orfa, but….

“WHY YOU SUDDENLY IGNORE ME, EXY-KUN! PLEASE… please…”

“…”

Even after Orfa was screaming like this, Exy-kun still doesn’t response to what Orfa is saying.

Exy-Kun… why you keep smiling even Orfa crying in front of Exy-kun like this? Why?

Even Orfa’s feet is bleeding so badly, Exy-kun keep his mouth silent while smiling. Orfa’s face already full of tears and snot. Even the cloth Exy-Kun gave to Orfa is already torn up in some place.

Even Orfa knows the answer is, Orfa still can’t admit it no matter what happen.

“Nee~ Exy-Kun… please… open your eyes!”

After Orfa reached Exy-kun, Orfa can finally see Exy-kun’s face clearly. Exy-kun is bleeding everywhere. Even a mass of rock already crushed both of his feet joint. His right hand already twisted to another direction. Even Orfa is trying to put Exy-Kun’s right hand on top of Orfa’s head, Exy-Kun’s right hand just fall again and again no matter how many times Orfa tried it. Exy-kun’s right hand that so warm a while ago… now is already turn cold.

Orfa is trying to shake Exy-Kun’s body a lot of time but Exy-kun doesn’t move neither open his eyes. A lot of Orfa’s tears pour down on Exy-Kun’s face but… it is meaningless. Exy-Kun still closed his eyes.

That’s right… if its [Heal]! Maybe it’ll work!

†O Substance That Control Nature†

†Show Your Power and Bring Miracle to Me†

[Heal]

A blue indigo light appear in front of my hand and surround Exy-Kun’s Body.

But, still… nothing happen.

Orfa already casting it several times until Orfa’s head feel dizzy, but Exy-Kun’s wound still not healed yet nor Exy-Kun’s open his eyes. Give up with [heal] Orfa put Exy-Kun’s head on top of Orfa’s head.

Please… Please… wake up, Orfa’s hero… Exypno Agori… Exy-Kun… please… once again… open your eyes…

That’s the only wish that Orfa repeat herself every second Orfa’s tears pour down into Exy-Kun’s face until it is dry. That’s the only wish… Omorfa Charitomeno Koritsi has at that time.

After that, Orfa is trying to tell a lot of memories that we had together. Even after Orfa’s tear dry and Lilina-Oneechan screaming can’t be heard anymore, Orfa still talking to Exy-Kun that continued smiling gently all the time no matter what happen.

That day—

“Orfa-Chan… Exy-kun…”

“…”

“Lilina-Chan… *swing his head left and right*”

—Exy-Kun died after saved Orfa’s life from the bad guy.
