Volume 1 Chapter 14: Tea party
Hmm~ Where am I? I'm sure that I was with Feru a moment ago but…
This place is… a small bedroom? When did I get here?
"Welcome~" (???)
A voice came from behind me. I didn't notice any presence until now…
Looking back, I see a young girl sitting by the nearby chair drinking some tea.
Yeah~ I'm at a lost on what's happening here…
"Hello there~" (Nero)
I just responded nonchalantly…
It feels as though I've seen this girl before but I can't put my fingers on it.
She gives off a feeling of familiarity, perhaps I've met her somewhere?
I tried check her status but nothing appears… weird~
"Still quite nonchalant I see~" (???)
She seemed pleased as she said that.
Seriously, who is this girl? I feel some strange vibes coming from her…
"Please sit down~ We have a lot to talk about~" (???)
Ignoring the strange feeling, I sat on the chair on the opposite side of the table.
The girl offers me some tea, as I don't see any reason to decline, I politely accepted it.
"This is delicious~" (Nero)
"Thank you~ I've made them myself" (???)
She seemed pleased when I praised the tea.
Well, It really is delicious~
We continued drinking tea without talking…
A very awkward situation…
"I know that it's impolite to ask this but… Do I know you?" (Nero)
Since it doesn't seem that she'll be talking anytime soon, I decided to talk first.

It really is bothering me, the feeling of something familiar yet it's not…
"Oh~ We've already met quite a few times now~" (???)
"Sorry, it doesn't ring any bell" (Nero)
Looking at her appearance… I don't think I saw anyone similar…
She has the same height as me, long flowing black hair, red eyes, and a black dress…
It seems that we share a few similarities as she seems to be an easy going person too…
"Really~? I guess a proper introduction is in order~" (???)
The girl then stood in front of me and did a curtsy bow.
She seems to have proper etiquette… perhaps she's a noble of some sorts?
"I'm simply referred to as God of Calamity" (???)
"Eh~?" (Nero)
Though I responded nonchalantly, I was quite alarmed.
Another Calamity God, are you a friend or foe?
Maybe I should run away… but to where!?
"I won't kill you so there's no need to be alarmed you know~ As I've said earlier, I only wanted to talk" (???)
"Alright~ What do you want to talk about then?" (Nero)
Thankfully, I was able to respond calmly even in situations like this… is it because of Calm Mind or is it because I find her words trustworthy? Something is definitely wrong here… but let's play along for now~
"It's really helpful for you to understand that~ but you shouldn't believe anyone that easily~" (???)
"It just feels like I could trust you… is that bad?" (Nero)
She started laughing when I said that… Is it really that bad?
I really did feel like I could trust her though…
"Ahh~ It has been a while since I laughed like that~" (???)
"I'm glad I could help then~?" (Nero)
I don't feel any hostility coming from her… so it's fine right?
She really does seem like a normal girl if you ignore all that God of calamity stuff.
Hmm~ It seems like she knows me though? So why can't I remember her…
"You've said we've met a few time before, but I believe that this is the first time we've met though?" (Nero)

"You really are forgetful~ Should I tell you or should I not~?" (???)
"Looks like you're toying with me… forget I asked anything" (Nero)
I really can't help but feel "This girl is really familiar!" and such… but I can't put my finger on it.
Can't remember… I think I'm on the path of developing Alzheimer's~
"In your frequent nightmares~ Isn't there a certain girl~?" (???)
"That was you!?" (Nero)
I remember! I completely remember her! But the contents about the dream is still fuzzy…
I'm feeling a bit scared though I don't know why! But it looks like she's enjoying this…
"I was doing something to you~" (???)
"What were you trying to do!?" (Nero)
"I was trying to steal your body" (???)
Whaaa~ This girl is dangerous, but I don't feel any hostility coming from her… is she hiding it?
I slowly beginning to remember the contents of my nightmar-
"It seems like you finally remembered everything~ ❤" (???)
"…Saying that while smiling" (Nero)
Ahh~ It was better to forget… Let's forget everything!
"Ah~❤ I wanna do it again~ Come on let's do it~?" (???)
She took the bread knife from the table…
Are you going to stab me again!? No! you better stop that!
Haaaa~ Let's stay calm and keep our cool~ reacting to her might be fatal…
"…Please don't come near me…" (Nero)
I said that while drinking some tea. Tea really helps in calming people down~
Thankfully, she didn't stab me with the bread knife… perhaps she's a yandere?
"Come on~ I was only joking~" (???)
"Then why did you do those things to me?" (Nero)
"In order for me to get your body~ I need to break your mind first~" (???)
"Though you look cute when you speak like that… A different image appears" (Nero)
"I'll accept both of those comments as compliments~?" (???)
Sigh~ The phrase "Ignorance is a bliss" suits me after all~
I want to be ignorant again~ I want to forget all of this!
But about that body snatching thing…
"Ah~ Don't worry about the body snatching thing~ I already prefer things the way they are~" (???)
Can you read minds!? And what do you mean by that!?
"Oh~ I'm currently living inside you right now~ and yes, I can read some of your thoughts~" (???)
I understand… I completely understand my situation… But my mind refuse to understand it!
"Though I want to explain things more and talk to you~ Sadly we don't have any time left~" (???)
●●●●●
I woke up to a pleasant feeling behind my head.
Opening my eyes, the first thing I saw was Feru's crying face…
The moment she saw me open my eyes, she repeatedly screamed my name…
"Why are you crying?" (Nero)
My tattered hand slowly move towards her face as to wipe her tears away… her face turns red.
Her face isn't red because she's blushing, it's red because of the blood from my hands…
Since when did I get injured? I'll solve that mystery for another time~
My whole body hurts… I can't move…
Judging from my position, Feru is giving me a lap pillow~
It's fine if I can't move then~ hahaha~ ow…
Let's heal ourselves for now and console Feru…
Thankfully, Feru is uninjured. But still…
Everything from that ordeal was real right? It was all a dream but…
I'm tired of that. I want to sleep but I don't want to…
I asked Feru to carry me back to the mansion…
Though I was reluctant, I fell asleep while Feru was carrying me behind her.
