Five chairs where in a circle. In the chairs were 5 individuals who are yet to be seen by humanity. Surrounding them was a nothing. Just an infinitely expanding white abyss. The only thing that existed were the 5 individuals each sitting in one of the five chairs.
A man with blue hair and glasses started speaking, “Seems like an opening to an intriguing play.”
A woman with green short hair and a long pony tail started speaking in a raspy tone, “And I don’t like the cast.”
The man with blue hair and glasses gave her a coarse grin. “Sounds like we have a bias in our audience.”
“He should have been born cursed like the rest of us.”
“Things aren’t simply damned by the world just because their creator was. Instead, it’s because they work with a traitor of the world or do the betraying themselves.”
The woman with green short hair and a long pony tail pouts at the man with blue hair and glasses. The man with blue hair and glasses starts talking in an aggravated tone, “Don’t give me that attitude. We are all here for that very reason. Breaking the rules that the world handed to us.”
“I want my child to be free from this twisted world and be placed in this very room with us. Everyone shouldn’t have to suffer Earth!”
A woman with long purple hair and scarlet eyes opens her mouth, “If that many people broke the laws of the world, then the world would be in chaos. There needs to be a balance in humanity so that society could function.”
The woman with green short hair and a long pony tail is silenced and stands up from her chair. “Fine then. I’ll interfere with fate.”
The man with blue hair and glasses sighs. “Interfering with fate just so that your kid can become cursed is a petty move. However, you could try to eliminate the other kids. Our job is to protect Earth after all.”
The woman with green short hair and a long pony tail nods and walks off into the ever expanding abyss, disappearing in seconds.
The man with blue hair and glasses looks at the chair in front of him. It’s a girl with white bangs, silver and black eyes, and a treble clef hair pin. She looks back and starts to speak in a soft voice, “How long until the world is destroyed?”
The man with blue hair and glasses bites his lip. “If we’re lucky, 4 billion years from now.”
“And if we’re not?”
“3 years.”

Mya stares at me as I toss the deceit on my bed. “So are we just gonna leave him here?”
“I might take him into our father’s old room once he wakes up. It’s about time we separate rooms.”
Mya grabs the deceit and carries him on her back while pointing out the room. “Alright then! Get a move on!”
“Why are you so ecstatic about this?”
“I’ve been wanting this room to myself! Grab your bed and drag it into the other room.”
“There’s already two huge beds in that room.”
“Oh you’re right… well that means two beds for me!”
Tossing the deceit onto one of the beds, Mya walks out and tells me to inform her whenever he wakes up. I lay on the bed and feel the comfy sheets hit my back. It’s so soft and smooth that I could end up falling asleep if I’m not careful. Even with all of that, I couldn’t fall asleep due to the loud noises of the people of Kyoto coming back together. I start to stare at the ceiling for a while, lost in my thoughts. If only Nex didn’t go home. I really need some company.
“This is a neat room ya got.”
I hear an energetic and rough voice of the deceit beside me. I blankly stare at him and he starts to smile while pulling on my cheek. “You’re that guy who saved me from them scary executioners! Thanks man!”
“You’re welcome. And can you stop playing with my face?”
The deceit stops and gets up to stretch. While stretching, it ask me a question, “What’s your name?”
“Daitan Yukimura. You?”
“Hm… I don’t think I have a name.”
“Then I’ll give you one. Rei Yukimura.”
The deceit’s eyes light up. “I LOVE THAT NAME!”
“Rei it is then.” I sigh then lay back down. “Why don’t you get some rest? We likely have school tomorrow so go sleep in the bed beside me.”
“But I just…”
“Now.”
“Fine… brother…”
Brother? Well he just woke up so he might just be saying things. I ignore his comment and slowly drift off into sleep.
I arise in my sub-conscious and see the usual peaceful landscape with Mythgoris in front of me. This time she stares down at me as if she had been waiting for years. She gives me a soft smile before speaking, “I’m glad that you survived the beginning of your journey.”
“I’m still confused about most of what’s going on here. First, I’m some sort of angel. Second, it’s some world threatening deceit that is now my roommate. What's next?”
Mythgoris starts laughing so hard that she begins to cry a little. I give her a confused face and then she slowly stops. “If you think thats a lot, then have fun dealing with what’s next.”
“What’s next?”
“It’s something that could affect you if not dealt with properly. It’s not as life threatening as that deceit. Don’t worry too much about it okay?” Mythgoris turns her back towards and grabs one of the flowers and puts it in my hair. “Your little deceit friend doesn’t remember too much about it self, so please give it a good time while it’s sealed.”
“I’m guessing this seal won’t last too long will it?”
“You have ten months and three days. Until then, take that ring off of him and keep him safe.”
“Ring?”
“I’ll see you off now.”
“Wait!”

Damn it! She’s so annoying sometimes! I slowly open my eyes and see Rei staring at me in front of my bed. Is he dressed up for school? Wait…
“Hey… that’s my uniform!”
“I’M READY FOR SCHOOL, SERGEANT!”
I throw my pillow at him and give him a spare uniform that fit him. While getting ready for school, Rei constantly kept talking my ear off, so I sent him over to Mya’s room. It was a terrible idea. I hear Mya yelling in the distance while I’m brushing my teeth.
Eventually everyone was ready and we all headed to school. Rei kept talking to strangers and almost got himself killed from insulting a delinquent. It was an interesting walk…
“Hi, boss man! I’m Rei YukimurAichi. Due to the incident that happened yesterday, the school was destroyed.”
Rei gives me a confused look but I signal him to just play along. Luckily I was able to convince the office and he was allowed inside of the school thanks to the rampage and pity. Before we left, Rei opened his mouth for a question.
“Why are these uniforms so boring?”
I put my hand over Rei’s mouth. “Sorry about that Mika-Sensei! We’ll be going now!” I let out a small giggle before leaving the office.
“I entered you in as a second-year alright? He said that the assigned class for you was 2-B. Get going before I’m late alright?”
Rei nods and hugs me tightly. I’m glad that I’m able to take care of someone and them being happy about it. I wonder if this is what raising a kid is like. At the same time though… it’s really depressing knowing that this is temporary. I head to class which was on the third floor and I filled Mya in on information about Rei.
“So we’re babysitting a world ending weapon? That’s badass! But you’ll be dealing with him. He’s an annoying snob! He tried putting on one of my skirts!”
I try to hold in my laughter, but Mya gets mad and starts having an outburst at me.

A woman with green short hair and a long pony tail was standing on top of the Kyoto Tower holding a halberd almost the same size as her body, staring down all of Kyoto.
So this is where he’s living the life…
She sits down with her arms crossed and places the halberd in her lap.
“Daitan Yukimura… I’ll find you…”
