Kyrie watches Lin's back while contemplating.
[Why is the old man showing all this?]
Lin's mories are funny, and they look like regular mories if Kyrie forgets that one is an otherworld elf and the other one is a goddess. They spend so ti at the beginning of their journey together binge reading.
Yue reads over collections upon collections of BL while Lin reads through engineering textbooks. They are stuffed into onesies: Yue as a tiger while Lin as a penguin. They both act like a codic pair indulging the fuel for their fanaticism.
It is only a month after that Yue would ntion the woman that Lin is destined to be with while on Earth. Lin looks at the photo and waits for Yue to continue. Well, she only smiles.
Lin stands on a sofa in rage, "You know! You had all month, but you just gave a photo? What am I supposed to do with it? Eat it?"
Yue takes her face off the BL manga and turns to Lin, "Be my guest! Let prepare the video cara first."
Lin drops his bum to the sofa, bouncing up. Then, he leans on the couch arm, "Shouldn't gods be more you know busy? Cancer is always a good start!"
"You spoke to the wrong god, Lin."
"Of course I did! If mortals see you laze around in another world reading BL, wouldn't they just cough blood out of frustration and die?"
"Scram!" A flying sandal gets towards Lin, and Lin narrowly dodges that terrifying weapon. Chills run through his skin like needles. The old traumas are acting up! Those cold weapons that sohow are affiliated with won are always the scariest. Even if you are from their blood and flesh, there is no rcy when sandals land.
"Okay, okay Geez What do you want for dinner?" Lin asks when entering his bedroom to change out of his onesie.
"Hmmm Maybe a bento box"
Lin walks out of the apartnt complex. The distant street lights seem like fireflies floating in the air in cold hues. On the empty narrow street, one or two cars would co by every five to seven minutes. Lin breathes in the fresh night air as his thoughts slowly go through his mind in a more organized and logical way.
For this month, Lin has lived in utter confusion and amazent. Here, most people are literate and often mild of character, also a bit cold and distant. They only focus on themselves and live their lives without bothering those that they consider strangers. Maybe Lin has co from a small village, and that is why Lin finds it strange. It is a similar experience he had had when he followed his father to a human capital city.
Yue has told him that they live in a rather big city, so people are more educated on average. Their jobs focus on knowledge that requires years of study from their childhood all the way to their adulthood. Those studies require the students to know how to read and write.
Having an entire month to observe the people and the city, Lin considers that there are many things for him to learn to implent once he returns to his world. One of the things that he is looking forward to implenting is the sewage systems. He has learned the importance of sanitation and how it could prevent many diseases.
However, now that he has ti to settle his mind to think properly, Lin starts to process his agreent with Vita. He has asked Yue about Vita's side of the deal, and in a fit of guilt, she has told him that his firstborn is a troubleso individual. She doesn't go into detail before changing the topic.
'What did she an by a troubleso individual?'
Lin wonders if his child could turn into the source of tragedy for many that Vita would take notice of his firstborn. From scripture teachings, gods would not involve themselves with mortals. They would only involve themselves with mortals on extrely rare occasions. Maybe his firstborn is that troubleso. Well, Lin has been a troubleso child too since he is born with an insatiable curiosity.
-ring-
Lin looks back to see a bicycle drive past him.
"Well I will make sure that my child will not be like that!" Lin tells himself.
His eyes finally catch the convenience store. His eyes focus on the cashier, and his eyes light up. Suddenly, his vision jolts sideways, and his body's weights shift, causing him to lose footing. The collision against the automatic sliding door shocks the cashier. She runs out to see Lin on the floor with two strings of blood coming from his nose.
The man looks at the light on the door's fra. The door is working perfectly. Did that door just deny his existence?
"Oh my gosh! Are you alright?"
Annalise cos out of the door. Her beautiful wavy hair falls from her shoulders as she leaned to check on Lin. She cos in better than Vita has entered in his dream.
Holy mama, mia! How can a convenience store clerk's uniform look so good on soone!
In Lin's eyes, Annalise has co down from heaven with so godly golden aura around her. (Just the convenience store lights and so ntal filtering). The cool breeze of the air conditioning hits Lin's face.
"Are you-"
"I am willing!"
"Sorry?"
"Ah! I an I am alright."
Annalise pulls Lin up while Lin giggles like a creepy old man. He tries to walk into the store and sees darkness again.
The door has ignored his existence again.
"Pfft," Annalise tries to hold her laugh, but she fails to, "Are you a ghost or what?"
Lin widens his smile and narrows his eyes, "What if I am?"
Annalise imdiately stiffens, which causes Lin to chuckle.
That is the beginning of how Annalise t Lin. Kyrie smiles when seeing his mother laugh. He wishes to tell her that he is alright and tell her all his adventures like the old tis.
Kyrie rubs his eyes and feels so dizziness.
[I guess I have reached the end of my ntal energy.]
Then, Kyrie puts his head on Ian's shoulder.
[If mom was here maybe I would feel more strength facing Vita and Yue from now on. It would have been nice if they could just stay as friends.]
Kyrie rembers Vita's smirk while calling him 'brat.' He rembers Yue inhaling cookies and snacks.
[It is just so]
