The stares of the masses, the gazes of the many, the watchers of the lots. All focusing on the entrance where I stand, as they observe every small movements I make.

"So-Sova w-why are you here!" Yuwei walks closer as she says hesitantly.

"A lot has happen but now that I met you, I know things are going to be just fine."

"No! How are you, how are you... Forget it. I'm glad you are okay," she pats my shoulder and hugs me.

"Sis Yuwei?" I say in confusion. She starts sobbing and I decide to return the hug and pat her on the back.

She immediately lets go and grab my face, pulling me closer to her face and gazes at me closely. I look away when I see her smile saying, "Looks like you got a new scar! Sova come sit with us, you can tell me what happen while we're here."

"Yuwei, mind introducing us to the new female guest?", the man called Moriz ask her with his face still red.

"Ah that's right," she wipes her face and looks back at them, "All right everyone listen up! This is a boy. So get that thoughts out of your systems!"

Moriz's face then turned dark, when he mutters, "B-boy? he's a trap!".

"Oh, shut up. You've seen more from the theocracy. He's like a family to me, my sworn brother since I was a kid. Now introduce yourself, Sova."

"Greetings, my name is... Sova Anmao, pleased to meet you all."

"YEAH!!!" everyone cheers and toasts their drinks. But then I could see Moriz backing away, avoiding my eye contact.

"Sova, let's just enjoy this for a while okay?" Yuwei pats my back before whispering, "Why don't you introduce us to your shy friend back there!", she smiles and backs away, grabbing a mug.

When I look back I can see Saya hiding behind the horned mannequin. I walked to her and say, "Come Senior Saya, introduce yourself please."

She blushes looking at me saying, "I'm sorry but crowds are not my thing."

I gave her a hand saying, "Then follow me I'll introduce you," smiling as I say so.

Her eyes widened when she looks at Yuwei and she smiles maliciously... I have a bad feeling about this.

"Okay I've gathered my courage. I'll introduce myself."

She pulls me as I follow her inside, Saya suddenly hugs my left arm saying, "Hello everyone! My name is Sarah Anmao, I'm his newly wed wife nice to meet all of you," she smiles innocently showing her small buck teeth.

Yuwei suddenly spits at me. Luckily I took a tray near the entrance and manage to stop the incoming projectile and save myself from getting wet. I wonder if spitting at someone is a new tradition no one told me about yet. I hear the other people saying, "Well isn't he lucky to get such a cute girl." "Whoa to think he's married so young, what have I've been doing with my life." "Wait, what's the minimal age for marriage again?" and many more.

"Pleh, S-So-Sova wha-what's the meaning of t-this," her face darkens and her entire body tremors before the mug in her hands catch on indigo flames.

"Wait a second sis this is not what you think it is! Wait, it's true that her family name is Anmao but please listen to wha-", stopping mid sentence when I feel her grabbing my shoulders tight.

She smiles with a burning glare, "Sova I don't remember teaching you any of this!"

"Wait sis, please let me ex-"

"Don't talk to my Darling like that you old hag! I don't care if you're his sister but nobody talks to my hubby like that!" she pushes Yuwei away with her small body.

Yuwei lets me go and backs away, Saya gives me a hug and glares at her. I tried to make her let go and say, "Saya!"

She gave me a cold smile and say, "Yes Darling."

"I mean Senior Saya please clear up this misunderstanding. I'm begging you!"

"O-Old Hag! I'm still 18 you spoiled rat!" Yuwei screams at her as her hair starts to catch fire.

She pulls her tongue out and says, "Bleeh, then make yourself look like one," Yuwei exploded in flames and Saya says, "My hubby, please protect me!", suddenly hiding behind me.

"Wait what!" I tried to move away only for her to stick behind, not letting go.

"That's it, prepare yourself Sova, let me drill into you more manners like how I promised your aunt," she clenches her fist as it catches on fire.

"Dammit sis! Don't just believe everything she says. We're not married!"

"Hubby how could you say that! I-I thought you love me. We even slept in the same bed when you forcefully pull me over and cuddle me all night... Ah I can't say anymore~," she holds her cheeks as she blush.

When I could hear whispers of, "Wah, he's a terrible guy." "You have no responsibility, you're a shame on all man." "Castrate him!" "Bro that's too harsh.", and many more.

"Golly! What is going on here!" I scream in panic.

Yuwei's flames grow bigger as the seconds past. Yet I feel no heat. Cracking her knuckles as she begins to look more like a demonic phoenix. When burning wings sprout from her back, "You even take the purity of a maiden away, I made a mistake worrying and caring about you."

"Your majesty, don't act too harshly!" the old man in full armour screams as he reaches out his hand.

Yuwei jumps, stepping on the old man's face, trying to punch me with her burning fist screaming, "DEATH SENTENCE!"

I raise my left shield and wear my helmet. Still not being able to make it. When I hear the loud sound of something being sprayed on her. She suddenly got blown away by a clump of white stuff and was force to a wall. Not being able to see her anymore with the white lump still comes at her. I see where it comes from, Moriz is holding a giant red can of some sort and keep spraying at her until nothing came out anymore. He throws the red can at the white lump and look at me.

"Your majesty!" the old man scream and chase after her.

He brushes his hands saying, "Hello there, my name is Moriz Chenghu heir of the orange tiger family. Are you okay?"

His a guy that looks in his twenties with robust arms and body filled with muscles seen through his unique looking suit with weird patterns. A tidy brushed hair, great posture, and a wide smile. Making him look like that the fact he was drunk a few moments ago never happen.

I feel like I heard that name before... I grab his arm, removing my helmet saying "Yes, nice to meet you too. Thank you for saving me. Still is she okay?", I ask sounding worried.

"What have you made me fall to. Don't worry it will take a bigger extinguisher to hurt her," he let's go of my hand saying, "As the student council president, I'm task with controlling the students from dangerous behavior and dangerous acts."

"I thought students aren't allowed to drink," Saya replied back at him.

"Well we're nearing our time till graduation already and we only have a few months left. So basically this act is all nullified for third years. Still you can't drink okay? You minors are too young for this."

"How did you even become student council president in the first place?" Saya asks, sounding baffled.

"Kid it's charisma," he gives a big smile as his teeth shines. When he continues to say, "And a ton of finding loopholes and exploiting the hell out of it."

"That is just wrong!" I scream at him.

"I'm just kidding, I'm the law enforcer after all," he smirks back at me.

"Ha ha ha ha!" the horned mannequin laughs while she enters. Bringing a tray filled with five long glass full of shining red drinks. She smiles and says, "Master Sova you really know where to find a person. I brought your order please enjoy," she puts the tray in the big round table.

"Oh, what is this? It looks very pretty," I grab one glass.

Suddenly an arm burst out from the pile. It twitches and exploded splattering the white stuff everywhere and burying the old man and multiple people. She suddenly phase beside me, leaving traces of flames. Taking away the glass and says, "No Sova, I can't let you drink. You're too young to take this. Take a sit and explain!" she glares at me with eyes filled with rage.

"Okay~", aisay bowing my head down and continue saying, "Senior Saya, you're coming with me to explain."

She smiles widely and says, "Sure darling~"

******************************************************************************************************

As the light shines through the black window. I could barely see the view. Everything moves in a quick manner, passing through countless shops and streets I never went before as I look at the soft glow. I see glimpse of some people wearing the same clothes as me but instead of pants like me or May they wear jeans or skirts for female, while some people roaming wearing green robes and masks, each with different runes yet identical to Rana's... There is no nobles around who wears red clothing nor the red sash, I'm now sitting on the most right seat in something called a limo or something. It's huge and long, filled with opulent and imperial decor, bottles and more wares.

"Sis Yuwei, why have you never take me to ride this limo thing?"

Sitting across me is Yuwei with her legs crossed and Moriz who is turning his back on us fiddeling with something when Yuwei says, "That's because Rubeca won't let me take you with one, nor do we need to use it, after all she says walking is healthy for you. Though to be honest, May once ride this thing and oh boy did she shake me a lot... Besides this is not mine," looking at Moriz as she say that.

"What! May ride this thing before... Wait, I think she told me about it... I think, I don't remember."

"Then don't worry about it, we are now heading to my place. To think all of that happened, Rubeca went wild and you meeting Rana," she stares at the new black retractable spear before saying, "Still, Sarah if you do that one more time I'll make sure I'll seal your mouth shut."

Sarah comes closer to me and say, "No! Hubby protect me!"

When I could see a vein pop from Yuwei's head, I hear Saya saying, "Heh heh, just kidding."

Saya lets go and sits neatly beside me. I didn't told Yuwei of my name nor anything about the negotiations I made. Though there is an bigger elephant in the room that no one seems to address for some reason. A masked person with short black hair, wearing a long blue scarf is sitting on the edge of the seat near the left door. It's Rana drinking a tea peacefully, yet no one seems to give a damn.

When I stare at Rana. She waves at me, Yuwei looks at me and says, "Sova, don't daydream and lose focus, you'll get possess."

"No I'm not, can't you see there is an extra person there!" I point to where Rana is sitting as she drinks peacfuly.

"Sova, you must be tired from all this stuff why not sleep in the car? I can assure you this car is enchanted to prevent bumps, shakes and intruders. I'll wake you up when we arrive."

"NO! There is a person drinking tea there. It's Rana!"

Moriz turns around and says, "What! You must be joking, no one gets past me nor the old man driver, besides it can't be precious."

"Didn't I told you she has the skill to turn invisible to all senses."

"Oh, please that is just an exaggeration. I mean why can you see her then?"

"T-that is becau-"

"Okay okay here let me show you," he stands up and sits on where Rana is seating only to pass through her. He continues to say, "See? Nothing. It must be hallucinations."

Looking closely, he is holding some kind of small statue. His rubbing it's head when I ask, "What are you doing?"

"Ah, well take a look at my limited edition figurine of Star Siren, they stop producing this a few years ago," he raise his hand and show off to see a similar looking person, the figure is full coloured from her long black hair, dark brown eyes, wearing a long blue scarf, a beautiful crafted mask that only covers her right cheek and a very colorful outfit with short skirt while making a heart pose. Where does he even keep that?

Staring at it I recognize the statue, "Rana Song?" I say in confusion, but she doesn't have the metallic right arm and she looks so cute and adorable it's disturbing me.

"To think I would find a hobby friend. We are now brothers no questions ask."

"So what happen to her?" I ask.

When suddenly Yuwei raise her arm and say, "No Sova! Don't ask him-"

Moriz cover Yuwei's mouth saying, "Hah, I'm glad you ask brother. She appeared suddenly six years ago and took the first place in the two years after she first enters, before disappearing suddenly in the middle of her performance. Her voice was like the diva in my opera. That's why I told you, there is no way this sweet missing girl could ever be the one you describe to be such a heretical description. And from the theories we fans have comprise bla bla bla."

"Aurgh," Yuwei slouch down as she groan.

As he continues to explain, I look at Rana to see her sitting on the floor, covering her entire head with her long scarf and plugs her ears shut. I guess she doesn't want to compromise her location huh. So I ask, "Are you going to reveal your self?"

She suddenly stand and screams, "Screw this! I'm going to do something else. Forget what ever you see and whatever he says!" she points at the figurine, turning it to dust and phase out of existence.

When I look at Moriz. His face can only be describe as dead and lifeless as he leaves his mouth wide open yet smiling. Yuwei tried closing his mouth only for it to open again, she takes a breath of relieve and says, "So there is someone else here, dammit... Sorry for doubting you Sova. Still I guess the silver lining is that we don't need to hear Moriz's stupid fanfics or conspiracy anymore."

I ask, "What's a fanfics?"

"You don't need to know about it. GOT IT?"

"Yes!"

"Heh heh heh," Saya snickers from the side.
