About 3 hours ago, Manaka Sajyou POV

Another day, another day of boredom. My life has been boring since birth. Nothing changes. Even if I see different things, and interacting with different people, it is still boring. I don't enjoy doing magecraft. Why would I need magecraft if I'm already connected to the Root? One of the downsides of being connected to Root is that you know what will happen in the future. Nothing can change the future. Sometimes, I asked myself if I am still a human being. Today as well, nothing will change. Today is the day that my sister returned home with a sprained ankle. As I'm pretending to be a good sister, I need to tend her wound. Speak of the devil, she came back.

Manaka: Ayaka? Did you come back already? Are you hurt?

Ayaka: No, sister. I'm not.

What? How did that happen? Nobody can change the future! Who changed it?

Ayaka: Ah! Right. I was going to fall off the stairs but a stranger helped me.

Someone that can change the future?!

Manaka: So, did you ask where they live or how to contact them?

I must find them! I must! Was there really a human that can defy fate? If so, will they also accept me? All I have are my hollow emotions. Although I can feel happiness, anger, and sadness, it doesn't last long as it doesn't come from my heart. Even babies have more emotions than me. So, can I even be called human? Can I be human?

Ayaka: Ah! He treated me at a place he works. Why?

I must warn her not to accept anything a stranger gives. But, this time, it works in my favor.

Manaka: Ah, I must show my gratitude to him. He did save you from falling off the stairs after all.

Ayaka: Oh, okay.

She's too easy to trust.

Manaka: Wait. Let me prepare myself.

I can't show myself like this. I'm still in my sleepwear. After finishing myself, I went and stand near the door. Although our house is not big, it is still vast for normal people.

Manaka: Let's go Ayaka.

Ayaka: Okay, sis.

She took me in front of the café. Anteiku? What is that name? Anyway, let's meet this person. We went inside the café and I see an extra. Someone that shouldn't be here. Everything was always where it was meant to be. Everything except an extra. An extra's name is Vergil Frost. What happened? He should be dead! He should have died in his Dead Apostle hunt 4 months ago! So, why is he here?! Ah… I see. He is the one. He was the one who defied fate. What is his future? I can't see it. There are many questions in my mind. Every time, it was others that asked questions. But, not me. As I'm omnipotent, I don't need one. I always have answers. My knees are trembling. Is this what it means to not knowing something? Is this what it means to be human? Can I… finally be a human being? I see him talking with other girls while smiling. What are these feelings? Jealousy? Anger? Even if I can't feel any emotions, it doesn't mean I don't want to feel any. And he looked at my direction. What is this feeling? The feelings are trying to burst out from my heart. Is this what it means to not have bland emotions? I have a strong d.e.s.i.r.e to know something. It is curiosity. Something I lacked since birth. Something more. I want something more than just knowing him. What I'm currently feeling is more than my hollow emotions from the entire life combined.

I wAnt hiM. I waNT him. I wAnt HIM. I wanT him. i Want Him. i WAnt him. i WaNT hIm. i WaNt him. I WAnT hIm. I waNt hiM. I wanT hIM. I WANT HIM. i WanT hIM. i Want hIM. i WANt HIM. i waNT HIm. I WanT hIm. I wAnt HiM. i WAnT hiM. i want HIM. i WANt hiM. I waNT HIm.

I walked in front of him and said resolutely. Because these words come to me impulsively. They are the proof that I'm still human. Because my feelings are real! I won't let them fade. No matter what.

Manaka: I love you.

Ayaka POV

As far as I know, my sister is perfect. A person who shone more than anyone else. But something about her feels wrong. It's not like I don't love her. I love her very much. But being compared to my sister every time, it hurts my self-esteem. But, I couldn't pass my sister no matter what I do. Just walking with her is a task for me. With her foreign looks, she stood out more than me. It's like I'm always in the background whenever I'm with her. But, she is a beaming pillar, a light in my life. She always cares for me even when my own father does not. And now, because of me, my sister comes together with me to show gratitude to a person that saved me. I'm sure, he too will forget about me when he sees my sister.

After arriving at the café that that person works, we went inside. The café got really packed since that person started working here. Is he some kind of a celebrity? When my sister saw him, she looked stunned. Then I saw something I've never seen since I've known my sister. She went quickly to that person.

Manaka: I love you.

She said that to a stranger! I tried to look to know if she is joking, but she is not! She even has a determined look on her face. Something I've never seen before. He made it possible.

Vergil POV

Holy sh*t. What happened? Calm down, me. Now, to answer her.

Vergil: I'm sorry.

And I've said it. Hmm… there's a little girl from before.

Vergil: Hey there, kid. How are you doing?

Ayaka POV

Does he see me? How? How could he not blush at my sister? I'm always in my sister's shadow. How can he see me?

Vergil POV

Hmm? Looks like I broke her. Wait? Manaka is here. And this girl. Brown hair and blue eyes… This girl is Ayaka! Even if she doesn't wear glasses now, without a doubt, she is Ayaka Sajyou. Great! Now, I know why Manaka is here. She saw her sister came back without injuries today.

Vergil: I'm sorry, but you look so young and I don't want to go to jail yet.

Manaka: I will keep saying it until you accept me.

Vergil: I have a fiancé.

Manaka: I don't care.

Vergil: How old are you again?

Manaka: 14!

Vergil: Too young. Now, excuse me, I have works to do.

Manaka: Don't worry. I won't give up until you are mine.

Did I change her obsession for Proto Arthur to me? … F*ck!
