How can the cybers comes so weak like that, i mean compare to the spectre,the alpha spectre was so cool...

Kawaei i think she became my favorite among the cybers
And annin is my favorite from the spectre
That wind blade so so so cool...

I felt Jurina too weak, whether beta Spectre can not be alpha Spectre or even more?
I'm a little bit annoyed with how weak Jurina so that she can not protect rena and her friends
Can't she become super saiya like saiyan people? I mean when they experience the almost death and become more strong LOL

Mayuuuu you are so cool i believe you will pass kawaei someday
What gonna happen to mayu?


Yuiparu!! Yay i hope!!


So the remain member now is takamina,atsuko,yuki and rena (plus jurina,i wonder how they cure her wound and the loss blood was great)

Romeo...(T_T)

They should go to legion fast if they want jurina life, or inject the spectre serum again to jurina LOL
(well it's up to takamina of course)
But i think bought jurina there was a complicated task because she was a spectre


Renaaaa please save your jurina!! Stop act like crazy person! She need you!

Thank you for this update
 
Hope you update the next chapter as soon as possible


because the next chapter makes me very very curious
RENA-SAMA!!!

YUKI-SAMA!!!

Kurogumi : LOLZ Well, I can assure you that the Cyber Commanders were far from using their 100% to fight.. I'd say they're maybe using only 30%-40% so far? Because if they were to use 100% of their power, even the Alphas will get suppressed like mad.. Umeda was just unlucky that she accidentally triggered Paru's power. And the only one who went all out from the beginning was Kawaei with the summoning of her Bahamut, which turns out to be her ultimate weapon.. That's why Mayu stood no chance at all. Ami, Sasshi and Umeda has yet to show their respective true ultimate powers yet, so stay tuned and you shall soon see the true terror of the Cyber Commanders~

Oh, and a trivia for you~ A Beta at 100% power is equals to about 35%-40% of an Alpha's power.. As I mentioned before, As their ranks increases, the power increases exponentially. And yes, if a Beta get stronger and stronger, they could also raise their power up to the level of an Alpha.

No :( Romeo died...
Poor Taka, she lost her bestfriend. Romeo did good job to help the girls but...
So finally Paru was caught and Team Taka lost.
But Sayanee didn't bring Atsuko back as she said?
So many things, many feelings.
I'm waiting for the next update!!!

Hey Kelvin! /o/

Sorry for not posting a comment in the previous chapter and on your birthday... oTL

I was too busy in school that I forgot to leave a comment  :'(  hope you forgive and understand me :'(

So anyway!!

I have little time to leave a comment! /o/ \o\ /o/ \o\

Oh so the Spectres came to fight with Cybers because they want to bring Atsuko, Jurina, and Rena back to Omega :O :O

I like the fight scene between Sasshi and Yuko and Taka! /o/

Ahh XD That mysterious Spectre is Haruppi? XD  LOL I like Haruppi's role "Katsuzetsu" in MG 5.... I don't know why but the name "Katsuzetsu" is very much cooler because it makes her looks so badass. Same goes with here. Lolol XD

Ohh.... Katsuzetsu already knew Yuki and Paru before meeting them....

What?! Noooooo! Mayu is captured by the Cybers and Paru is captured by the Spectres?! Noooo!

And Jurina was almost cut into half?! :O

Omg! No! You killed Romeo!!!! D':

And the oh-so-great-and-strong New Team Taka lost?! Noooo! D':

Y u so evil, Kelvin?! D':

I thought the New Team Taka will win..... D':

*cough* ..... Paru will meet the Omega.... I smell love in the air.... :v :v

What happen to the New Team Taka? D: and I hope Jurina will survive that cut..... And what will Rena react after seeing Jurina's was cut into half and has pool of blood on the ground? Feel sad? Crying? Or play with her blood? XD XD

*cough* so anyway, what happen to Mayu afterward...with the Cybers? Perhaps, they will give her the punishment for disobeying the Core??

If they want to bring Paru back, I guess Yuki will keep on convincing Taka to go to the Legion and she finally agrees because they are the only one who could help them to get Paru back... Especially Mariko...

I believe Mariko wouldn't let go of this news about Paru being captured by the Spectres...

And i think it is possible that Atsuko becoming Spectre by experiment and Rena reviving from the dead by becoming Spectre will be known to the public.... Because I guess they will barge into the Legion like "Mariko! I need your help in bringing Paru back!" Then all students and the lecturers be like "wth? ...... What?! Atsuko and Rena have red eyes.... Wait... They are Spectres?!"

Haha. Dont mind this dialogue XD

*cough* *cough* and also I believe Miichan still has Spectre serum. If she still has them, they could use it to heal Jurina's wound....

And you will reveal Paru's past in the next chapter, right? RIGHT?

You told me earlier that you will post the next chapter tomorrow... Please do so. :) :) can't wait anymore!

My mini-mini theory about Paru being half-Cyber and half-Spectre... I want to know if this is correct or not....

That's all. /o/ *vanishes*

Chapter 18 : Goodbye Dear Friend


Takamina remained kneeling in front of Romeo’s dead body. He was still laying on top of the patch of dirt in front of a tombstone made for him. His body was a little out of shape as the ribs were completely broken into tiny pieces by Sayanee. Takamina still hadn’t gathered enough courage to bury her dear companion yet.

Seeing Takamina kneeling there motionless, Atsuko sighed. “You’ve been kneeling here for about an hour, Minami.. It’s time to bury him.”

“Just give me a few more minutes! Don’t rush me.” Takamina obviously wasn’t ready to bid Romeo goodbye just yet.

Rena too knelt beside Romeo’s dead body. But of course she wasn’t just kneeling there motionless like Takamina. She was poking Romeo again and again.

“Leave Romeo alone, Rena.”

“......” Not fully understanding Takamina’s words, Rena continued tracing her fingers on Romeo. “Doggy....”

“Rena, I’m not going to repeat again. Don’t touch him.” Takamina raised her voice this time.

That time, Rena removed her finger from Romeo but her finger was covered with Romeo’s blood. Tilting her head a little, she brought the blood covered finger towards her mouth slowly. “Blood.....”

That action alerted Takamina right away. She immediately got up and dragged Rena away by the back of her collar and slammed her onto the wall hard before screaming loudly inches away from her face. “DON’T YOU DARE PUT THAT FINGER IN YOUR MOUTH, RENA! DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE DO IT! I’M NOT GOING TO FORGIVE YOU IF YOU PUT HIS BLOOD IN YOUR MOUTH! HE DIED FOR YOU, DAMN IT! DON’T YOU DARE DISGRACE HIM LIKE THAT!!”

Rena’s whole body trembled in fear looking at Takamina acting like this. Despite being a mindless monster, her mental state was no different than of a 2 year old girl. Being scolded badly by one of the two person she recognized was a little too much and terrifying for her brain to accept and process. And it happened. As her whole body trembled, a wet patch started to form on Rena’s pants at the groin area.

Yuki was the first to notice the wet spot between Rena’s legs. She immediately dragged Takamina away from Rena who was obviously scared off her wits right now. “STOP, SENSEI! SHE’S AFRAID!”

Atsuko too noticed the wet spot on Rena’s pants and glared back at Takamina. “Stop it, Minami! She’s literally frightened right now! Can’t you see!?”

That was when Takamina’s eyes shifted down towards Rena’s groin area and saw that Rena had wet her pants out of tremendous fear. Her whole body was still trembling hard as her legs loose strength and slowly fall onto the ground. Atsuko was there holding Rena in her arms tightly. Takamina then calmed down and nudged Yuki away. “....”

Atsuko continued. “I understand you’re upset, Minami.. I’m upset too. Yuki is upset too. Romeo had been with us for almost 15 years.. But you can’t let it out on Rena like that! She doesn’t know what she’s doing!”

Rena then slowly squirmed out of Atsuko’s grip and crawled into the corner of a large stone and continued trembling there. “....”

“....” Takamina sighed and walked over towards Rena. “I’m sorry, Rena.. I’m really not in the best of moods to entertain you right now.. I hope you understand what I’m saying.”

Hearing Takamina’s apology, Rena slowly turned her head and looked back at Takamina. “Un.........der....standdd........” She then pointed at Romeo. “Doggy.....die....”

“.....” Takamina was a little heartbroken when Rena said it. She then continued. “Do you remember who that doggy was?”

Softly, Rena nodded her head and opened her mouth. “Do....ggy.....Ro......Ro......meo......”

“She remembers...” Atsuko looked at Takamina.

“Do you wanna say goodbye to Romeo?” Takamina asked as she held out one hand to Rena.

Once again, Rena nodded slowly and grabbed Takamina’s hand. As Takamina led Rena towards Romeo, Rena sat down beside him and brushed his fur slowly. “Ro...meo.....good.....doggy......”

After Yuki and Atsuko bid farewell to Romeo, it was Takamina’s turn. She knelt right in front of Romeo’s body and stared at him for a long time.

“Thanks for sticking around all these years, Romeo..” Takamina thanked her companion as she traced the back of her fingers on his face. “You were by far the bravest Reaper I have ever seen.. Forgive me if my incompetent self failed to take good care of you for all these years.

“Minami...” This was one of the rare moments of Takamina. Even Yuki and Atsuko rarely saw this soft and compassionate side of her.

“See you, buddy...” Takamina brushed Romeo’s fur for the last time and slowly placed his body inside the small hole and covered it up with dirt. Romeo would officially be the first body among her family members that she buried. He was placed beside Juliet’s tombstone.

As Takamina stood back up, Atsuko placed an arm around Takamina’s shoulder. “You know, Minami... You can cry it out if you want..”

Takamina then looked at Atsuko and removed her arm before replying with a straight face. “I’m not going to cry, Atsuko. I’ve already abandoned my tears for more than 15 years. I swore never to cry again. I’m not going to let anything bring it back, even if it’s Romeo’s death.”

Despite saying that, Yuki and Atsuko could see the sadness in Takamina’s eyes. Yuki wanted to give Takamina a hug but she knew Takamina would never want it so she kept it to herself for now. “...”

“It’s already night time. We should get some rest for tonight, then figure out what’s next when we wake up tomorrow..”

“Alright.” Atsuko nodded and continued. “You should take a rest.. I need to find Jurina.. She’s still out there somewhere..”

“Don’t look too hard. If you’re not back within two hours, I’m gonna look for you.” Takamina said as Atsuko made her way out of the cave.

It’s almost two hours since Atsuko left, Rena was still hyperactive and rolling around the bonfire. As expected, Takamina couldn’t sleep at all. She sat just right at the entrance of the cave and staring up at the bright moonlight alone but not for long. Yuki who noticed Takamina sitting there alone walked towards her and sat beside. “Sensei..”

Without even looking at Yuki’s face, Takamina started. “If you’re gonna ask how am I doing right now then you can go back to sleep. I’m fine.”

“No you’re not.” It didn’t even take one second for Yuki to answer. “Why are you lying straight at my face when I know exactly that you’re not the least bit fine?”

Takamina then looked at Yuki. “Even if I’m not fine, I don’t need any comfort from you.”

“Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not going to comfort you.” Yuki shrugged. “I just wanna sit here.”

“How about you sit somewhere else? This is such a huge area.” Takamina stated.

“I already planned to sit on this very spot since earlier.. Maybe you’re the one who needs to sit somewhere else.”

“Tch-” Takamina immediately stood up and sat a few feet away.

As expected, Yuki stood up and sat down beside Takamina once again. “...”

Yuki was replied with Takamina’s glare. “Don’t get on my nerves right now, Yuki. I’m not in the mood at all.”

“I’m not getting on anybody’s nerves. I just want to sit here..”

“....” Takamina shook her head as she tilted her head up to the sky again.

Yuki too followed suit. The both of them remained silent for a period of time before Yuki started a conversation once again. “Truthfully......how do you feel right now?”

“Dead.”

“Hm. Knew it.” Yuki nodded.

“I’m still not going to let this stop me from moving forward... I’m going to kill that Sayanee one day..”

“Well, she definitely knew the best option to break your spirit by not letting you avenge for Romeo..”

Takamina raised her brow. “Best option? You mean worst mistake.”

“You miss him don’t you?”

“.....” Takamina remained silent.

“Me too.. But of course you missed him more.. He likes sticking to you all the time no matter what I tried.” Yuki smiled a little.

“Romeo’s a strong dog.” Takamina then shot a side eye at Yuki. “Of course he’d stick to the strong one.”

Yuki laughed a little. “Yes, of course.. I still remember that time when I accidentally slid down the cliff and dragged Romeo down with me. I was really injured and yet you punished me to 1000 push ups just because Romeo got a few scratches from the fall..”

Takamina turned her head and squinted her eyes at Yuki. “You dragged him down. It doesn’t matter if you were injured or not. You deserved that punishment.”

Yuki giggled. “And Romeo was sitting by my side the whole time during the punishment.. He probably felt guilty that I was punished by you.”

“Wrong. He was there because I told him to keep an eye on you just in case you stop to rest mid way.”

“Don’t destroy my dream. Can I at least have my own fantasy on how Romeo actually cares for me that time?” Yuki rolled her eyes.

“Fantasy huh?” Takamina looked up to the sky once again. “Now it’s just a memory.”

“Not just a memory, sensei. A happy memory. It’s already carved deep within us. So you could say he never left... He died protecting Rena despite lacking in human skills.. And I think that’s the most honorable way of leaving this world.. And I will make sure that Sayanee will pay for what she did.” Yuki assured before chuckling a little. “Romeo’s a lucky dog, having so many people fighting for his sake.”

“Yeah.... You know what, I’m not going to continue talking about this.” Takamina nodded and stood up. “It’s been two hours. Atsuko isn’t back yet.. I’m gonna go find her.”

“Without me?” Yuki asked.

“Yes, without you. Go back to Legion or whereever you want to go.”

“Alright then.” Yuki too stood up. “Let’s go find Atsuko sensei together.”

“You’re not a very good listener, aren’t you?”

“You said I could go whereever I want to. And right now I want to go find Atsuko sensei. What coincidence that you wanted to find her too.. Since we’re going to the same place, I’ll get Rena and we’ll find her together. Then we’ll get Paru and Mayu back.”

“I understand for Paru.. But that Cyber friend of yours?”

“You saw what Paru could do.. If she could somehow control her powers, she could be a great ally in defeating the Spectres and Cybers. And Mayu is the only one who is smart enough to understand Paru’s powers in depth. I need her.”

“Fair enough.” With Yuki and Takamina’s bond slowly restoring once again, they head off to find Atsuko.

Paru slowly opened her eyes and found out that she was in a dark and gritty place. Her sight was still hazy, but she could see a silhoutte standing in front of her, leaning on the wall. As her sight became clearer, the silhoutte standing before her turned out to be none other than Katsuzetsu. When she tried to move, she found out that she was chained onto the wall in a dungeon-like place.

“Hey, let me out of here!” Paru started shouting at Katsuzetsu.

“......” Katsuzetsu ignored Paru’s request as she looked upon the chained girl silently.

“I said let me out!” Paru retaliated. “Let me out!!!”

Instead, Katsuzetsu took out a piece of lollipop from her pocket and pointed it at Paru’s face. “Lollipop?”

“You want to poison me with that thing?” Paru flinched her head away and screamed right at Katsuzetsu’s face. “Get that out of my face!”

Katsuzetsu then stood back up and shook her head a little. “You really are a loud one aren’t you?”

“Shut up!” Paru continued screaming. “I don’t need you to teach me how to live my life! I’ll raise my voice however I want! You Spectres have no power over me! You were just lucky that time when you fought Yuki sensei.. She could have wrecked you easily!”

Katsuzetsu smiled a little. “That’s where you’re wrong.. You see, Yuki is a great fighter. I’m not going to deny that.. But she’s not powerful enough to protect you.. The fact that I managed to grab you fom under her nose proved that fact.. Her time as your guardian is over.. You’re under MY protection now.”

Paru raised her brows sarcastically from Katsuzetsu’s weird statement. “And I’m supposed to feel safe under your protection?”

“Well, in fact I don’t even need to be taking care of you. You’re a big girl now, Paru. You can protect yourself from now on. You don’t have to depend on them anymore.”

“What, so you’re asking me to depend on you Spectres instead? Please.. I’d rather depend on them for the rest of my life than to depend on you monsters..”

Katsuzetsu then continued. “I saved you from the hands of the Cybers.”

“Excuse me?” Paru was unamused. She wasn’t ready to believe the words of a Spectre. “So you, a Spectre, are saying that you protected me from the Cybers after kidnapping me from the humans? Nice try but I’m not buying it..”

Katsuzetsu then leaned back and smirked a little. “Believe what you want. I’m not even going to force you.. But one thing I’m sure you would believe.. That you are far more powerful than you can ever imagine.. Which is why you are wanted by all sides..”

Paru’s eyes widened a little. “Wait.. You know what’s going on with me?”

“Have you ever done something that no common teenager could do? Like knowing how to control a drone only seconds after seeing it for the first time?” Katsuzetsu then stopped and looked into Paru’s eyes for a moment. “Or carving out an exact replica of a diamond necklace from pure glass and metal? A little too complex even for an elite Reaper to accomplish, don’t you think so?”

“I never really thought about-” That was when Paru realized something was very weird and frowned back at her. “Wait a minute... How did you know about the drones and the diamond necklace?”

Katsuzetsu smirked as she rolled her lollipop in her mouth and tilted her head. “I wonder..”

“Please tell me! You know something about me!”

“I will..” Katsuzetsu then continued. “But first I need to know whose side are you on.”

“What!? I don’t even have to answer for that! You know very well whose s-”

“Then that’s all you shall know for now..” Katsuzetsu then turned around and slowly walked towards the exit.

“Wait, at least answer me something!” Paru called out. “If both Cybers and Spectres wanted me alive... Then why was my name listed in the Cleansing plan? Isn’t this Cleansing plan made by both Spectres and Cybers? My name being inside the list shows that I am wanted dead.. And because of this, I almost got killed once by Jurina.. I’m confused..”

“Good question..” That was when Katsuzetsu smiled a little. “Why, I wonder...”

“Just tell me already! You know the answer!”

“The less you know, the better.. Besides, your curiosity will keep you around.... And oh yeah... Before I forget..” Katsuzetsu then turned her head back. “Happy 18th birthday.”

“H-Huh?” Paru blinked back at her with a confused expression. “How did you... Wait, who are you!? How do you know so much about me!?”

“So many questions, so little time... I’ll see you around, little girl.” Katsuzetsu shot a wink before making her way out of the dungeon once again.

“Hey, wait! Wait!”

“Ah, yes before I forget... Just on a personal note.. If I were you... I’d stay away from Legion..”

“Why would I stay away? Come back! Hey!!” Paru was ignored completely as Katsuzetsu walked up the stairs.

As Katsuzetsu was walking out of the dungeon, she met with Sayanee who was walking towards the dungeon. As Sayanee walked past her, she stopped in her tracks. “She’s awake. I’ve already checked on her.”

“Good for you that you checked on her.. But I haven’t.” Without even stopping in her tracks, Sayanee continued making her way down the steps into the dungeon. Katsuzetsu had a bad intuition of what Sayanee will do down there but she just tried her best to brush it off.

Paru was then alerted by some footsteps entering the dungeon once again. She hoped the footsteps belonged to Katsuzetsu but to her dismay, it turned out to be Sayanee. “Oh.. It’s you....”

“You look like you were anticipating someone else..” Sayanee said as she stood in front of the chained girl. “Disappointed?”

“I’m not going to talk to anyone other than Katsuzetsu..” Paru looked away.

“Are you sure you have nothing to say?” Sayanee asked once again.

“.....” As Paru said, she wasn’t gonna have a conversation with anybody other than Katsuzetsu right now. She wasn’t even looking at Sayanee at all. She was just looking at the ground silently.

“Really nothing to say?”

“......” Once again, Paru replied with silence.

“Hmm....” Sayanee suddenly raised her right boot and stomped it hard on the wall right beside Paru’s head, causing the whole dungeon to shake for a moment and startling the chained girl. “Take a look at my boot and then tell me if you have something to say.”

Unwillingly, Paru slowly rolled her eyes towards Sayanee’s boot which was inched away from her face. Something on the boot caught her attention. There was a patch of blood on it. Still not understanding what message Sayanee was trying to convey, Paru remained silent. “....”

“I believe you have a dog as a companion?” Sayanee smirked a little while she asked this question.

That was when Paru realized that Sayanee was trying to tell her that the blood on her boot belonged to Romeo. Her eyes widened in shock from the sentence. “No.... You couldn’t have...” Her eyes shifted towards Sayanee’s eyes this time as she glared angrily at the Spectre. “What did you do to Romeo?”

“So Romeo was his name, huh?” Sayanee smirked and placed her foot back on the ground. “Silly little dog don’t you think so? He think he could take me on..”

“You.....couldn’t have..” Paru’s breathing got harder as if she was finding difficulty to breathe.

“Would you like to know how I killed him?” Sayanee leaned in and whispered softly. “I broke every single bone in his body.”

“No you didn’t......” Paru’s heartbeat got faster. “NO YOU DIDN’T!!”

“He didn’t even get the chance to whimper for the last time..”

“No! Stop! Stop it! I don’t want to hear any of this! I don’t want to hear anymore!!” Paru covered her ears and screamed.

Sayanee provoked even further. “I wonder if he even felt any pain when I kicked him so hard.. Did he die right away or did he live for a few more seconds..”

“STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” To Sayanee’s surprise, Paru released a very powerful force from her body blowing away the torches within the dungeon and pushing Sayanee back a few feet. As soon as the force was released, Paru started coughing out a lot of blood and felt like choking.

Seeing the side effects of Paru activating her powers, Sayanee smirked a little and stood in front of her once again. “Better think twice the next time you use this power, girl. Chances are, the next one will be your last. Make good use of your powers while you still have them.” She then shoved Paru onto the wall hard as she fell back onto the ground and continued coughing blood out.

“I WILL *cough* I WILL KILL YOU!!” Paru forced the words out of her bloody mouth.

Sayanee chuckled. “I heard this sentence more than a hundred times before.. And I’m still waiting for the day it actually happens. Stick around. The Omega will be back soon..”

The main door of the halls opened to reveal the four Cyber Commanders along with Mayu who was trapped within a plasma shield. As they walked further front, they were greeted by the sight of the ever elegant Nao sitting on her throne.

“Mayu Mayu....” Nao shook her head she looked upon Mayu’s condition.

Kawaei told. “We were interfered by....”

Before Kawaei could get the chance to finish her sentence, Nao completed it for her. “You were interfered by the Alpha Spectres and they managed to take Shimazaki Haruka away. I know.” Nao replied with an elegant smile. “I have made an arrangement to meet up with the Omega later on. Don’t worry about that for now. What matters is that the four of you came back alive.”

“We weren’t even fighting in our full potential yet..” Smoke escaped from Umeda’s exhaust pipes out of anger. “I didn’t even get the chance to use my ultimate and that girl sent my flying to a country called China? I’m so pissed off right now..”

“I understand, Umeda. There’s no need for explaination. The four of you can leave for now. I want to have a private chat with Mayu here.”

Mayu was released from the plasma shield by Kawaei and the four Cyber commanders then left, leaving Nao and Mayu alone in the hall. Silence echoed around the hall for a short moment before Mayu gathered her strength to stand up slowly and started a conversation. “I know why you want Shimazaki Haruka.. You have a lot of explaination to do.”

“....” Nao remained silent at Mayu’s blurt.

Rie who is sitting on Nao’s shoulder whispered into ear. “It’s best not to reveal anything for now, Nao. We don’t know what else she’s planning.”

“Best not to reveal anything? Listen here, you silly little arachnid. I’m not stupid. I saw with my own eyes what she can do. YOU.” Mayu stated before pointing her finger directly Nao’s face. “It’s time to explain.”

“How dare you point your finger at the Core like that!?” Rie raised her voice.

“Now now, Rie..” Nao patted the spider a little and said in a soft tone befitting a queen before smiling back at Mayu. “Come here, Mayu.”

“I feel more comfortable standing here.” Mayu remained standing there.

Hearing Mayu’s resistance, Nao held out her right hand and smiled. “I said come here, Mayu.”

“!!!” Mayu was suddenly pulled in by an incredible force and fell right in front of Nao with her head facing Nao’s feet. For a moment, she felt like a metal being pulled in by a super magnet.

“You see, Mayu... For all these years, whatever you want and need, I gave them all to you. You wanted freedom, you have it... You hated coming back here, so I allowed you to live outside as you already were. It didn’t matter to me at all whether you’re stubborn or not. None of the other Cybers have this kind of privilege but you, Mayu. All I’m asking for is one thing and one thing only. Your allegiance and respect for me.”

Mayu slowly tried lifting herself up. “I don’t think I need to answer my allegiance to anyone... Even to you.”

Nao then slowly lowered her hand and at the same time, Mayu felt an invisible force pushing her down onto the ground with an extreme pressure. She couldn’t lift herself up at all. She was stuck in the kneeling position. Nao smiled a little and shook her head softly. “You speak like you actually have a choice, Mayu.”

“I do have a choice...” Mayu tried to stand up but couldn’t.

“Do you now?” Nao tilted her head a little and smiled. “Do you realize I could have reprogram you into a mindless monster? And yet here you are with your own mind....trying to go against me and even questioning my authority... It seems that you’ve forgotten something, Mayu.. Did you think you were born naturally like the other Cybers? You should know very well you’re not like them... You’re different. Just like Rie.. You were made......by me.”


Chapter 18 : Goodbye Dear Friend
END



Ultimatum is moving towards the climax of the plot!! There is a deep dark secret revolving around Paru and part of it will be revealed in the next chapter~! Stay tuned~!

Its me!!

Ok this one not the proper comment,still but i need to said something

Why they mourn againts romeo all this time but like doesn't notice the others?
I mean like really worried about mayu,jurina and paru
They could be injured like jurina or dead like romeo!
But takamina made a bonfire! And sit there!? Why??
When atsuko search jurina its already night! And jurina could be died if she just a mere human...
And mayu...aall this time i wondering why her body is full of machine,i though it was natural for cyber having that kind of body,but now i know why,and it because mayu is created by core...

@geki geki : They just got out alive from a huge fight among the strongest Cybers and Spectres so they deserved some rest. Besides, it's already late and they're pretty tired. Sure, looking for them is important but it's no use if you do that with a tired body. As for the romance part, it might come soon, as long as it doesn't pull the plot too far away coz you know, Ultimatum was never meant to be a romance fic LOL but of course there will be some love blooming soon

Chapter 19 : Insanity


Atsuko panted heavily as she ran deep into the forest with one hand covering her torso which seemed to be bleeding profusely.

“Stop running away, Atsuko~!” A scream was heard followed by a slightly crazed laughter.

As Atsuko turned around, she could see a few trees crashing onto the ground as if they were chopped clean off the trunk. She was really desperate to escape from her pursuer. And from Atsuko’s current condition, it can be safely assumed that her pursuer was not someone to be trifled with. There are not many people who are able to hurt Atsuko till this state.

The forest seemed to be going on forever and Atsuko had been running non stop since. She wanted to stop running so badly but she knew that if she stopped, she could get killed on the spot. But sometimes, hiding is a better choice than running. Atsuko stopped in her tracks and leaned behind one of the trees there.

“Damn it.. I was searching for Jurina.. Why must I bump into this person in a time like this? I thought she was gone for good..” Atsuko cursed silently as she removed her hand to take a look at her deep wound. Her hand was painted in red. It seemed like she sustained quite a heavy blow from her pursuer. “Ugh.. It hurts like mad..”

“I know you’re here somewhere~” An eerie voice suddenly echoed throughout the forest. “I can smell you.......”

“....” Atsuko tried to stay silent and motionless for as long as she could.

“Marco~ Polo~” The voice had an insane tone to it followed by a slight laughter. As soon as the voice echoed in the forest, a slash was heard and a tree from a few feet behind her came crashing onto the ground.

Atsuko wasn’t gonna let that startle her even though her heart was beating miles an hour. “...”

“Guess you’re not here~ Come out come out whereever you are, Atsuko~”

All that Atsuko hoped for right now is for this pursuer to leave this place at once. She is losing a lot of blood and her face started turning pale. “Please just leave...” begged Atsuko in her mind.

“Why are you so afraid of me, Atsuko~?” Again, the eerie tone echoed. “You were my one and only friend.. We met only after so many years... Shouldn’t you be happy to see me instead? Come on out~ Hehehehehe~”

Atsuko could feel shivers up her spine from her pursuer’s sentence and only had one thought in her mind right now. “She’s really crazy!”

And then the sound of metal blade gliding past a rock was heard. It echoed in the silent forest with a loud ‘shhhhhhhhhiiiing’ sound. “It won’t hurt one bit~ I’ll make sure to make it painless~”

“......” Atsuko’s wound was disturbing her a lot. She was trying her best to ignore the pain as much as she could since she had to remain silent for now.

“..........”

“....?” Atsuko frowned for a moment. It became a little too silent suddenly. She couldn’t sense anyone or anything for some reason. It was as if her Spectre senses were malfunctioning. The silence was making her even more anxious, so she decided to take a peek behind. Nobody was there. Perhaps the pursuer went away.........or maybe not.

*STAB*

“*gag*” All of a sudden, Atsuko gagged blood out of her mouth as a sword pierced through her from the back right at that 0.1second where she let her guard down.

“I~ found~ you~~~” Each word was pronounced slowly with a hint of insanity in them.

It was revealed to be a short haired lady with a pale face and her lips were a little purple come black. She had one arm locking Atsuko’s neck while the other holding onto a bloody sword that pierced Atsuko. She shifted her face towards Atsuko’s. So close that their cheeks were touching one another’s. From the side of Atsuko’s eyes, she could see the lady’s deranged eyes opened wide, two black orbs staring back at her without even blinking. She then sniffed Atsuko’s cheek hard and exhaled with a slight moan in her voice. “Did you miss me?”

“....” Atsuko was on the verge of passing out from the extreme pain. She was stabbed once by her earlier on and now she got stabbed again. She was losing a lot of blood from her mouth and her wounds. “*gack*”

“I missed you~~ so.....so....much......” The sinister tone whispered into Atsuko’s ears as she twisted the blade, messing up Atsuko’s insides even more.

“MMMMNNNNGGG!!!!!” Atsuko screamed in pain but was muffled by the hand covering her mouth. She was sweating buckets from holding the pain.

“Why did you hide from me?” The lady continued whispering into Atsuko’s ears as she pierced the sword deeper.

“MMNNG!!!” Atsuko slowly looked down at the sword protruding out of her stomach from the back and held it in place with both her hands, not letting the deranged lady push it in deeper than it already was.

“Your utmost struggle to survive.......” The lady continued whispering before she traced Atsuko’s cheek softly with her tongue. “It fills me up with....lust...”

“GAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!” Using all her strength, she activated her Spectre blades and managed to knock her away, causing her to lose grip on the sword. Atsuko then removed the lady’s sword from her torso and clipped it on her own belt to prevent her to make any more sudden attacks.

She tottered a little before grinning back at Atsuko and activated yet another sword. “You think mere Spectre blades will keep me away?”

Atsuko spit out some blood from her mouth before wiping it off her chin. “Just stay away from me!” As soon as she said that, she threw a flashbang at the lady and blinded her for a few seconds. She attempted to run but to no avail as her second wound was a little too heavy for her to start sprinting. So she moved a little further and hid behind another tree. Atsuko shook a little in fear while still covering her injured torso. “.....” Her breathing got heavier as footsteps got closer and closer to the tree she was standing behind.

“I can smell you here~” From the side of her eye, Atsuko could see a sword slowly gliding at the side of the tree. And there it was once again. The creepy and insane tone.

With that said, the sword swung past the tree, chopping it down cleanly from the trunk. Atsuko managed to leap to the side at that very moment and went in for a Judgement sword strike. It was unsuccessful as her pursuer defended it with little effort with her very own Judgement. “Just leave me be!!”

The pursuer had both her eyes widened in a psychotic manner. “What’s wrong, Atsuko? You look afraid.. Why are you afraid? You think I’m weird too, don’t you?”

“.....” Atsuko didn’t want to answer her question. She knew that her answer wouldn’t be the one that her pursuer wanted to hear.

“Why aren’t you speaking??” Her head tilted a little and her eyes twitched. “You’re my friend, right? Right, Atsuko? Right? You won’t ignore me like the others, right? Right?”

“Please......don’t do this..” Atsuko struggled to get the words out of her mouth as she was already heavily injured on her torso.

“You’re gonna be with me right? Right, Atsuko? You want to be with me, right?? Right?” She then increased her strength and managed to push Atsuko back. “Everybody disregarded me and tossed me aside... You were the only one who approached me.. Remember? I cannot let you toss me aside too, you know that right? To make sure you don’t toss me aside..... You know I cannot keep you alive, right? Right? I need you dead so you can never run away... You understand me very well, right?” Her insanity level was way off the charts. Her sentence was followed by an insane giggle.

“Just leave me alone already!”

“I cannot do that, you see... You helped me open my eyes to see the truth behind humanity’s rotten nature.. I still haven’t repay you for the debt.”

“You got the wrong idea of what I said!” Atsuko screamed back at her. “You’re mad!!!”

“That’s the thing, Atsuko...” The insane lady twitched her eye and licked her lips in a fast motion. “My madness keeps me sane... Hehehe~”

“Just stay away!” Atsuko used her Spectre blades this time and slammed them at the pursuer’s direction but to no avail as she blocked it with a Judgement shield.

“That’s it, that’s it... Resist more..” She laughed. “The more you resist, the more ORGASMIC it is to drench my sword with your blood!”

“Argh...” The wound opened up more with Atsuko’s attack. She placed too much pressure on her torso. She couldn’t continue fighting or else she would die from blood loss. She then gave her a little push and started running away. She aimed a fully charged laser behind and blasted it at her pursuer’s direction. “Stay away!”

Upon noticing, the pursuer changed the sword into a shield and defended against the laser. “GOOD! GOOD! GOOD! Resistance! Mmmm~ I can feel the pleasure running up my spine~ And it’s making my knees weak~” Her sentence was followed by an insane laughter.

Atsuko then stabbed the rear end of the Judgement on the ground as the laser continue blasting at her pursuer’s direction. She took this opportunity to run as far as she could and by the time the laser ended, the pursuer had lost track on Atsuko. She walked towards Atsuko’s Judgement and picked it up. After touching it a little, she placed it at her nose and gave a sniff. “Atsuko... I will find you.....and you would be my most priceless collection~ Hehehehehehe........ HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!”

Yuki bent over a little and wiped her hand across a patch of dirt before bringing it close to her nose. “It smells like jasmine.. It’s a weird place to have jasmine around in this type of area.. Someone has been here..” Yuki stopped for a moment and suddenly remembered something. “Wait a minute.. Jasmine..”

“Atsuko..” Takamina smiled. “Pretty smart. She left traces of her weird perfume around so we can track her down easily just in case something happened.”

“I wouldn’t leave any traces if I were her.” Yuki retorted. “Enemies would know her location and she would be in danger.”

“There aren’t many people in this world who knows that this Jasmine perfume belongs to her. Besides, do you actually think someone as capable as Atsuko would be in danger so easily?”

“I know Atsuko sensei is strong, but you might never know. No matter how strong you are, there’s always a chance you might still fall in the end.”

Rena started sniffing hard again and again. “Smell......”

“Yes, Rena senpai. It’s Atsuko sensei’s jasmine perfume..” Yuki answered.

Rena ignored Yuki completely and started walking towards a direction. “Smell......”

Takamina immediately sensed something. “Rena. Did you find something?”

“Atsu......neechan......smell.....” Rena suddenly ran up the hill and stopped in her tracks as soon as she saw someone laying on the ground. It was none other than Atsuko laying flat on the ground on her small pool of blood. The scene was too shocking for Rena to react to it. Rena didn’t know how to react to Atsuko being unconscious at all. She started screaming at the top of her lungs while squeezing her head in pain. The shocked feeling was all converted into nothing but immense pain in Rena’s brain. She couldn’t interpret the feeling at all, so it was nothing but pain. “A.....AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!”

Hearing Rena’s scream, Yuki and Takamina rushed up only to be greeted by Atsuko on the ground while Rena was still screaming and grabbing her head. It seemed like Rena’s scream wasn’t going to subside soon so Takamina had no choice but to shut her up for now. Instead of knocking her out, Takamina placed two fingers somewhere around Rena’s throat and gave it a slight tap. That gesture itself blocked Rena’s voice box. It doesn’t block the air. It merely blocks the voicebox from functioning until she taps on it again. It was a kungfu skill learned by Takamina last time. Rena still seemed as if she was screaming her heart out with her mouth wide open but at least now, there was no sound. Takamina then gestured Yuki to take over in looking after Rena while she went over to Atsuko and let her rest on her arm. “Hey, Atsuko! Wake up! What happened!?”

Slowly, Atsuko opened her eyes and smiled in relief that she is finally safe in the hands of Takamina. “Mi....na...mi....”

“I’m here.” Takamina had one hand covering Atsuko’s wound to stop the bleeding.

“Just.....how many times do I need you to save me....” Atsuko weakly continued before letting out a cough. Her face was completely pale from loosing way too much blood.

“Shh... Not another word about this.” Takamina slowly brushed Atsuko’s hair to the side, at the same time wiping off the cold sweat.

Atsuko then shut her eyes and let out a heavy breath to calm herself down of the events that just befell her earlier. “....”

Takamina then looked over at Yuki and asked. “How’s Rena doing?”

“She’s calmed down a lot but she’s still a little shaken.” Yuki said as she tapped her finger on Rena’s throat to release her voicebox. She then patted Rena’s head a little. “Senpai, are you ok?”

Slowly, Rena tilted her head up to come in contact with Yuki. “Yu........ki.”

“She’s starting to remember more as time goes by...” Yuki smiled a little before asking Atsuko in a worried tone. “Atsuko sensei, I thought you were looking for Jurina? Who did this to you?”

Atsuko then slowly opened her eyes once again. “I couldn’t find Jurina anywhere.. I only found traces of her blood... And then I was ambushed..”

“By who?” Takamina asked.

Atsuko grabbed Takamina’s clothes tightly, smearing her shirt in red. “She’s back, Minami. Miyawaki...Sakura....”

Takamina’s eyes widened in shock from the mention of the name. “What did you just say?”

Atsuko groaned and repeated once again. “You heard me, Minami... Sakura.... She’s back.”

“Wait... Miyawaki Sakura?” Yuki frowned. “I remember that name.. You mean the urban legend back in Legion? I heard a lot of stories about her.. A lot of myth going on that time back in the Academy.. But...isn’t she merely a myth? A common urban legend for us teenagers?”

“What kind of stories have you heard about her?” Takamina asked.

“That she was once a Reaper.. She went insane and murdered 3 Reapers before fleeing Legion and became a serial killer.. But it’s just what I heard from people around. I’m not too sure about the details of this myth though..”

“........” Takamina shot a look at Atsuko before looking back at Yuki. “It seemed like the story was toned down by a lot... Now that she has resurfaced... It’s about time you learn the truth about her existance. Miyawaki Sakura isn’t a myth nor an urban legend. There in fact used to be someone called Miyawaki Sakura back in Legion.. Her name became a taboo in Legion.. Nobody was allowed to speak of her ever since....the incident. Probably that’s why it remained as a myth and an urban legend for the younger generations.”

Yuki frowned. “What incident? Wait, you sound like you know quite a lot about this..”

Takamina continued. “Miyawaki Sakura was in the same generation as us during our first few years.. We knew her. But she didn’t stay for long.. And the part where she murdered 3 Reapers was completely wrong. She murdered 14 Reapers in total... No.. Murder isn’t the accurate word.. The correct word for it would be skinned... Every single one of them were skinned..”

“Skinned??” Yuki felt goosebumps all over her body from the gory statement. “Even Spectres wouldn’t skin their victims! What kind of deranged human would do something like that!?”

“I’m not finished..” Takamina pointed out. “They might not be the best, but all 14 of them were elites.. Call her deranged or insane or whatever.. Having sufficient fighting ability to take out 14 elites proves just how powerful she is.”

Yuki’s eyes widened in fear. “She murdered 14 elite Reapers!? With that amount of fighting capability, that means..”

Takamina continued. “Yes. That puts her in the same level of fighting potential as I do.. And she’s probably more dangerous than me because of her extremely sadistic nature..”

Atsuko continued weakly. “Even I barely got out alive... With that level of fighting ability, I would have died earlier.. Now that I think of it, I think she actually let me escape.. She thinks that the process of hunting me down would be fun.”

Atsuko’s single sentence made Yuki tremble in fear. In Yuki’s eyes, Atsuko was one of the best Reapers aorund. With addition of Spectre attributes, she could be considered a very dangerous opponent to deal with. To be able to reduce Atsuko to this state made Yuki wonder just what kind of monster this Sakura really is.

“Remember how Mariko issued a wanted posted for me when I left?” Takamina asked Yuki.

“Yeah..” Yuki nodded.

Takamina continued. “That time when Sakura left, old lady Ohori didn’t even bother to issue a wanted poster for her despite the numbers of murders she committed.. She thinks that the only one strong enough to go against her would be none other than myself. But even with that thinking, she still wasn’t too sure that I would come back alive so she called it off. Do you understand? That’s just how dangerous she is.”

Atsuko explained. “There’re 2 types of insanity in this world, Yuki.. The first type is the one who is insane but doesn’t realize that fact.. Just like our current Rena.... She’s no different than a kid. She doesn’t know what she’s doing even when she’s killing.. And then there’s the second type.. The ones with a crystal clear mind.. It’s the fact that they knew just how insane their own ideas were which made them very dangerous.. Despite that, they wouldn’t have the thought that they’re wrong. These kind of people would actually think that their ideas are right all the time and everybody else is wrong. Miyawaki Sakura falls under the second type of insanity. Any disapproval to her ideas would end up in a fatal encounter.. Just like the 14 Reapers... Poor them.. All they did was just call her crazy.. And they were in the same class as us..”

“She was a complete loner back in the Legion. She doesn’t socialize with anybody or anything. She just sits in the corner of the hall the whole time. She never attended any of the exams. Nobody knew what’s going on in her mind.. Until Atsuko befriended her...” Takamina stopped suddenly.

Atsuko hesitantly continued. “I told her that she should understand people more in detail if she wanted more friends..... I never knew she had a twisted idea based on my words..... She took one person apart...literally. Pieces by pieces.. Just to get a glimpse of how it works... To ‘understand them in detail’.”

Yuki gulped. “Are you serious..”

“It probably was my mistake to start talking to her in the first place.. Ever since that day, she claimed that she had reached enlightenment from taking people apart..” Atsuko started groaning in pain all over again. “I think that’s all you should know about Miyawaki Sakura.”

“....” Yuki was completely speechless from the urban legend that came to life.

“I managed to take this from her..” Atsuko unclipped the Judgement she took from Sakura earlier and showed it. “The very weapon she used to murder and skin innocent people.. This Judgement..”

Yuki felt goosebumps once again. “I don’t know why but I’m feeling more uncomfortable with this Miyawaki Sakura compared to Cybers and Spectres..”

“Just stick with me and you’ll be safe.” Takamina stated. Though it seemed as if Takamina was trying to brag that she was powerful enough to protect them, it actually sounded pretty legit and convincing. Knowing that she is the legendary Reaper, she could actually be telling the truth.

“Not only we have the Cybers and Spectres to deal with now, we have to deal with a deranged serial killer as well..” Yuki scoffed.

“With a serial killer on the move, we just need to be more alert in our surroundings.” Takamina said before tilting her head down at Atsuko who was laying peacefully on her lap. She then wiped Atsuko’s excess sweat. “How’s your wound?”

“I’ll live. This will heal soon..” Atsuko explained and smiled a little.

“We have to stop this bleeding first..” Takamina said as she tore the side of her shirt and wrapped it around the wounded area.

“I can see your tummy now.” Atsuko giggled a little.

“This isn’t the first time you saw it anyway so it doesn’t bother me.” Takamina merely shrugged it off with her half exposed stomach.

“Well then it seems like my plans will be delayed a little..” Yuki stated.

“What plans?” Atsuko asked.

“A masterplan.” Yuki winked. “Get all the rest you can, Atsuko sensei.. My masterplan might need all of us in our top form..”

Atsuko squinted a little. “Wait... You’re not thinking what I think you’re thinking, right?”

“Well... You do know the whereabouts of the Spectre headquarters right?” Yuki shrugged.

Atsuko’s eyes widened in shock. “You’re not thinking about charging straight into the enemy’s nest, are you?”

“Precisely.. We might have new problems surfacing but the most important thing to do now is to get Paru back. And we can’t do that without a little risk.. Who knows, maybe that Jurina you were searching for is there as well.” Yuki explained.

“ARE YOU O- argh!” Atsuko accidentally placed too much pressure on her stomach. “Are you out of your mind!? Do you even know what you’re dealing with!? Minami, say something!” Atsuko tried convincing Takamina to hold Yuki back.

Takamina nodded and tilted her head up at Yuki. “Do not take the words out of my mouth next time.”


Spectre HQ

Itano slammed the door open and confronted Annin straight on. “What did you do to that Jurina!?”

Annin who was reading a book about humans closed the book with a single hand and looked up at the angry Spectre calmly before opening her mouth. “You have guts barging into my room with that tone.”

Annin was merely saying it in a calm and normal tone and yet it sounded so intimidating already. The dark aura surrounding Annin was overwhelming. Itano shut herself up immediately. “S-Sorry.... I just wanted to know what happened to Jurina.”

“.......” Annin remained silent for a moment and brought the book back up to her face. “Why does it matter to you?”

After gulping, she stated in a confident tone. “Because if you killed her, I am not going to forgive you.. I have said too many times that I must be the one to kill her.”

“And what would you do if I told you that she died?” Annin answered without even breaking eye contact with the book.

“.....” As expected, it wasn’t a Beta’s position to question their Alpha. Itano merely kept quiet.

“Well?”

“..............Forgive me. I will just take my leave now.” Itano bowed a little before turning back.

“She’s still alive.”

That single statement made Itano stop in her tracks for a moment and shot a smirk to herself “Good..” and left the room.

Miyuki who happen to be walking along the hallways saw Itano and called out to her. “Ah... Itano~ Let’s go somewhere toda-”

Before Miyuki could finish, Itano knocked past her shoulder without even answering back. “...”

“Hey, watch where you’re going!” Miyuki complained and rolled her eyes before someone at the far side of the hall caught her attention.

“Kojiharu~~” Miyuki ran towards her direction and hopped on her back. “You’re not doing anything else today are you?”

“Well, I’m actually going t-”

“If you’re gonna say that you’re going out with Yuko, then save it because she isn’t in headquarters now. So, let’s go!” Miyuki clung on Kojiharu’s arm.

“Uhm no.. I was gonna say that I’m going to the kitchen to prepare Yuko’s favourite food so she can eat when she returns~ Maybe next time, Miyuki. I’m sorry.” Kojiharu said. “Why don’t you ask Sayanee? She’d be glad to go out with you, right?”

“Meh... Ever since that Shimazaki Haruka came, she had been paying less attention to me. So I gave up asking her.” Miyuki shrugged.

“As much as I want to go out with you, I’m just not free now, Miyuki..”

Miyuki rolled her eyes. “Yeah yeah yeah... Always about Yuko. Yuko here, Yuko there. You do realize that Yuko would still treat you like crap even after all you do right?”

“I know.. But I don’t mind.” Kojiharu smiled. “I just like doing stuff for her and make her happy.”

“Our job as a Beta is to assist our respective Alphas, not be their nanny or slave.” Miyuki explained.

“I’ll do what I want, Miyuki. Don’t teach me how to be a good Beta.” Kojiharu poked Miyuki’s forehead. “I’m not gonna discuss about this anymore. Bye bye~”

“.......” Miyuki was speechless that she was left alone once again. That was when she saw Katsuzetsu walking along the hallway. “Hey hey, Haruppi! We haven’t chatted ever since you came back two days ago! Where have you been all these time?” Miyuki hopped over towards Katsuzetsu excitedly.

Katsuzetsu frowned a little as she saw the hyperactive Miyuki making her way towards her. “You seem.........jolly.” As usual, Katsuzetsu had a lollipop in her mouth.

“What’s wrong with that?” Miyuki blinked her eyes in a cute manner.

“You were a little more.....different the last time I saw you.”

Miyuki had some thought. “I don’t really understand what you’re talking about?”

“Hmm... Maybe I remembered it wrongly..”

“Of course you would! You haven’t been around for a long period of time! And you haven’t answered my question yet!” Miyuki puffed her cheeks.

“On a long holiday.”

“I don’t believe you.” Miyuki folded her arms.

“I don’t think I remember reporting my whereabouts to you before this. So what’s with the curiousity?”

“I’m a Beta. That means as of now my rank is higher than you, who have no rank at all, Haruppi. So when I ask you a question, you should answer.”

“I already did. I went on a long holiday.”

“.....” Miyuki felt that she was just wasting her time asking Katsuzetsu to explain her whereabouts these past few years.

“If you’re done then I think I’m just gonna return to my room.”

“Nonono wait!” It seemed like Miyuki wanted company so badly so she decided to change the topic so that Katsuzetsu would stay with her longer. “So how do you feel being back here? Hmmm? Now that you’re back here, Omega would most likely give the remaining Alpha rank to you since Annin convinced her to let go of Atsuko as the Alpha..” Miyuki smiled brightly.

Katsuzetsu continued sucking on her lollipop. “To tell the truth, I have no absolute interest in rankings.. I don’t need a rank to get a job done.”

“I see... So... How was your holiday?” Miyuki shrugged.

“You know what? I feel like you’re just wasting my time here. Bye bye.”

“Wai-” Before Miyuki could even complete her sentence, Katsuzetsu had already pushed a lollipop into her mouth, shutting her up immediately.

“Do not disturb me, okay?” Katsuzetsu shot one last smile before making her way back into her room.

“.....” Once again, Miyuki became speechless as she looked upon Katsuzetsu’s back. She then shrugged. “Oh well... Nobody wants to come close to me anyway..”

As soon as Katsuzetsu’s silhouette was gone, the expression on Miyuki’s face changed. Her cutesy smile changed to an unamused look. When she exhaled, there was a hint of green in her breath. “Let’s see how long you can hide your secret, Haruppi..”

Her green breath quickly turned white as the surroundings got colder suddenly. As she felt the cold atmosphere, Miyuki quickly reverted back to her cutesy self and hopped back into her room.

Paru felt her surroundings get colder than before. She could even see that her breath was turning white. It was at that very moment where she heard someone walking down the steps. Paru felt weird. The footsteps had a different feeling than when the other Spectres entered. As the footsteps got louder, her body got colder. As the silhouette came closer and stood under the light, her face was revealed. It was a very beautiful lady with pale white skin and red hot lips. Her red eyes made her overall look even sexier. Despite that, it doesn’t bother Paru at all. She merely looked away and kept silent. “...”

And then a smile crawled upon the lady’s lips as the back of her fingers traced Paru’s cheek. “My dear.....Shimazaki.....Haruka....”

Paru could literally feel chills being sent to all parts of her body with that single icy touch. “............ What do you want from me?”

“What do you mean what do I want from you?” She said slowly with a soft and gentle tone before locking eyes with Paru. “What else can I want from you?”

“......” Paru blinked for a moment and looked away because of the awkwardness of the atmosphere.

“Such soft.........smooth.........beautiful skin......” Her fingers slowly moved down towards Paru’s neck which happened to be bruised by Sasshi during the fight earlier on. With a trace of her finger, the bruise went away almost immediately.

Paru could feel the effect right away. Her neck muscles felt less tensed than before. In that instant, she placed her hand over her own neck before looking at the lady once again. “You just healed me...”

“Why that’s one of my abilities as the Omega...”

“As I thought... You’re the Omega..”

“Just call me Yui.” She smiled.

“That healing power you just did to me.... I did that earlier too...” Paru frowned and shook her head. “How is this possible?”

“Paru, my dear child....” Yui caressed Paru’s cheek softly. “This world is filled with countless possibilities.. So why can’t this be possible?”

“But how!? I’m a human! How can I have those kind of weird powers!?”

“Sayaka....” One word from Yui’s mouth made Paru speechless. “Does that name sound familiar to you?”

Paru frowned a little at Yui’s face. “Sayaka? Akimoto Sayaka? She’s my mom... You know her?”

A smile crawled upon Yui’s face as she placed her face next to Paru’s. The latter could feel the cold aura radiating from the Omega’s skin. She then whispered gently. “Funny.... I too have a daughter named Sayaka..”

Paru’s eyes widened in shock for a short moment before she shook it off. “What, so you’re saying that my mom is a Spectre now? And that she is your daughter? PUH-LEASE!! I can even lie better than you!”

“Hmm...” Yui tilted her head and stroked Paru’s chin. “So skeptical... Just like Sayaka..”

Paru flinched away. She was completely enraged. “Hey, stop it! Don’t speak as if my mom really is a Spectre because she is not! She’s a human!”

“You think so?” Yui smiled. “What makes you so sure?”

“If she was a Spectre, I would have known! I’m her daughter!” Paru raised her voice. “And her eyes are black! Unlike yours! They’re red!”

“They’re black? You mean.....” The red in Yui’s eyes suddenly switched color to black. “like this?”

Paru’s eyes widened in shock. “T-T-This can’t be.... H-How!? How are you able to change your eye color to black!?”

“There’s a lot more things you don’t know yet...” Yui smiled and tilted Paru’s head up slowly. “Would you like to find out more?”
