" What brings you here? " Fubuki asked, as Kuro sigh in reply, " Errand from the old man, how about you? Why are you out here? " Kuro replies back, as Fubuki smiles. " I am merely descending down to meet up and sightseeing my own nation. Am I not allowed to do so? "

Fubuki replies back, as Kuro chuckles, " Well, you are allowed to do anything. Not that you're restricted to do something as you wanted. " he said with closed eyes and smile.

Looking to his left, he noticed the black haired woman, Mio. " Oh? Is that Mio you were always talking about? " Kuro asked, as Mio raises her eyebrows. " Always talking about..? " Mio asked, confused on the situation, but soon- is cleared by Fubuki. " Yes, that is Ookami Mio, my general and right hand that I used to talk about with you. " Fubuki said with a teasing smile, as she tilt her head to the left. Earning a blush and stuttering Mio. " E-Eh? "

Kuro, laughed as Fubuki giggles quietly, with Mio being embarrassed knowing that she was a topic of talk on the past. " F-Forgive my rudeness, but I'm sure you two already know each other... May I know how you two know each other? " Mio asked, as Fubuki and Kuro raised their right eyebrow. " Hm... it will be for another story for another time, but- I will tell you that I had known him since... three years ago. "

Fubuki said, as Mio ' o ' ed, but soon gained a shocked face. " Wait, three years ago was when you were first appointed as the ruler of this nation, no? " Mio asked, as Fubuki smiles. " Yes. " Fubuki replies, as Kuro then stood up. " Anyway Fubuki, where do you get that ice-cream? " Kuro asked as he points to the ice-cream grasped by Fubuki's hand. " Oh? Hm... how about Mio lead you herself? Getting to know each other and all. " Fubuki said with a smile, as Kuro raised his right eyebrow.

Turning his gaze to look at Mio, who's opening her mouth to eat her ice-cream. But is stopped when she heard her name being called out. " Eh? Me? " Mio asked, as she points to herself. " Yes Mio, you. " Fubuki said with a smile, as Mio then nod. " Okay, sure... " she said, as she stood up from her seat and walks up to Kuro. " Let's go. "

Mio said, as Kuro nodded and follows her whilst intertwining his fingers at the back of his head.

Fubuki, watches as they both walked away to the dimming light of the night-street with a small smile. " It truly is a peaceful era we are living in... " Fubuki suddenly spoke to herself, not minding the other civilians around her. Although it seems that they themselves are occupied with their own things.

" Wouldn't you agree? Mr. Yagoo. " Fubuki said, with closed eyes and a small smile that's kept. Before turning her head to the right, looking at a tall man with black hair. Wearing a simple dark blue coat that reaches down to his shin. With the middle area being separated, left opened. He wear a simple white t-shirt, and a dark blue long pants with two pair of normal black shoes.

" It is... " Yagoo replies back, with his very own smile. " How was Kuro these days? It was long since we had spoken with each other. " Fubuki asked, curious on the events that happens to Kuro whilst she wasn't with him. " Why not ask your boyfriend himself? "

...

Silence lingers, yet other noises still rang inside her ears. But yet, she seems to be lost inside her brain. The cold breeze of wind once more strikes again, as her hair sways to the left.

Yagoo, able to see Fubuki's face, gained an amusement from it. What Yagoo see, is that Fubuki gained a blush that spreads on her cheek, with her mouth now being shaped ' w '. Instantly breaking her majestic image in front of Yagoo.

" I-I... " she was speechless, it's not the first time she was speechless. But this one, it's from an embarrassment. Her face felt hot, with her heart beating rapidly as if she had just ran a marathon. Her whole body felt hot, the cold wind, didn't effect her one bit. Despite it being cold, why did Yagoo suddenly spurt out that nonsense? She didn't know, was it for teasing her?

" Am I not telling you the truth? " Yagoo asked with a smile, as Fubuki shakes her head rapidly. " I-I'm not in love with Kuro Mr. Yagoo... " Fubuki denies, as Yagoo raised his right eyebrow. " Are you sure you are not? Is it because this is the first time you feel a humanly reaction that you're in denial? " Yagoo asked teasingly, as Fubuki's face became coloured pure red like a tomato.

Chuckling, Yagoo decided to stop his teasing. " Well, jokes aside, good to see you in a good health up till now Fubuki. " Yagoo said with a smile, as Fubuki nodded, " Y-Yes... thank you Mr. Yagoo... " Fubuki replies with a smile but still has the blush, as Yagoo smiles back. " How's the nation? Any problems whatsoever? Need a help from this wise ol' man? " Yagoo joked, to which Fubuki smiles with a small giggle.

" Everything is fine with the nation, and there is no problems. I and my assistants can handle our nation ourselves, and no. I do not need any help from the wise old man next to me. " Fubuki said with a shadow looming over her face and her eyes closed, while wearing a smile. Yagoo, chuckles in seeing this. " No need to get hostile Fubuki, I was just joking. "

" I know. " Fubuki said, still with a shadow looming over her face and her eyes being closed. With a smile that gave away signs of wanting to murder a certain someone... " Oh? Old man, what are you doing here? " A familiar voice enters the both of their ears. As the both of them looked forward to see Kuro holding an vanilla ice-cream. Along with Mio next to his side... with another chocolate ice-cream.

Fubuki, waves while returning her face to her normal stoic face. Continuing eating her ice-cream, not knowing that Yagoo, leans his face next to her ear, " Though, I wasn't joking about you allowed to date my son. " Yagoo teasingly said, as Fubuki coughed a few times. " S-Stop it please... " Fubuki requests, as Yagoo chuckles before speaking once more. " I was just meeting up with Fubuki, you know, reunion. " he said, facing towards Kuro.

" That so? Well, do what you want old man just make sure the reunion doesn't get too comfy. " Kuro said with the last word somewhat... aggressively. Yagoo and Fubuki wondered why it sounded aggressive, but they payed no mind to it.

Kuro, walks up to his old man and waves his hand to the left. Gesturing so that Yagoo moves away from his position. Yagoo, smiles and did so, allowing his son to sat next to Fubuki. " So? Have you acquaint yourself to Kuro, Mio? " Fubuki asked to Mio, who sat next to her left. Licking her chocolate ice-cream, before nodding a few times. " Mmhm, though... " Mio stops for a few seconds, as Fubuki raised her right eyebrow. Kuro, widening his eyes before bitting the ice-cream aggressively...

( ... She's not planning on telling that is she?.. I forgot to tell her not to tell Fubuki! ) Kuro spoke inside his head, as a small sweat ran down from his forehead. " What is it? " Fubuki asked, as Kuro's sweat starts to accumulate as if he had just run a marathon while being a human.

Kuro, deciding to act now, opened his mouth, " Mio, Mio! " Kuro whisper-shouted at Mio, as Mio, Fubuki looked towards Kuro who's sweating bullets. He gestured his hand to come over while calling out to Mio. While Mio, raised her eyebrows before going over to Kuro, and Fubuki watching in confusion. Before deciding to sharpen her hearing.

" Don't tell Fubuki about what we had talked about on the road... " Kuro whispers to Mio, with a hand covering his left cheek. But, is proven to be useless as Fubuki is still able to hear him. " Why though? " Mio asked, confused, " ... I- *sigh* just, please do what I say. " Kuro replied back, as Mio stops for a few second before nodding hesitantly. " It's okay, I wasn't intending to talk about that... "

( Don't tell me what..? ) Fubuki asked inside her mind, as Mio straightened her back and goes back to Fubuki and sat next to her. Before continuing what she had originally going to talk about. " Continuing on... Fubuki... " Mio stops a bit, as Fubuki looked at her with a smile. " What's wrong? Continue on. "

" Okay... Fubuki, what makes you want to be friends with... Kuro? " Mio drops the bomb, as Fubuki and Kuro raised their eyebrows. While Yagoo, smiles a bit, " What makes me want to be friends with Kuro... " Fubuki repeated the sentence to clear the question inside her head once more. Her gaze headed to the ground, while her brain starts forming answers. Kuro, stop on eating his ice-cream and gaze to the ground too. His head began thinking and questioning. Now that he think of it, why did Fubuki want to be friends with him..?

Kuro never question the reasons as to why Fubuki befriended him. First time he meets Fubuki, was at his home, when Yagoo introduced Fubuki to him. He was training with his weapons, daggers, sword, katana, spear, pole, hammer, and shield. He mainly uses short-swords, but he tries practicing weapons in case he lost his main weapon in a fight.

He could go for his hands, with his Close Quarter Combat experience. He could maybe stand his ground against physical Gods. Although, on Magic he is quite low in terms of God rankings. But, in terms of Humans, he might be the best. But, that has yet to be seen, since he hasn't ever fight with the best Human magic user.

Then... in that case, is Fubuki befriending him because of his power..?

Kuro remains silent, as his face turns to a frown, his bangs falling downwards. Is the only friend he have will abandon him now that he founds out the truth? Or will she just continue on befriending him just to get someone strong on her side...

Yagoo, looking over his troubled son sighed, before holding out his left hand towards Kuro's head and pat on his head and scratch it.

Feeling his hair being scratched, Kuro looked up to see his old man with a smile. Soothing Kuro a bit and sighing, he then heard Fubuki's voice once more. " I guess... it was because he seems lonely, and he seems to be an interesting human. " Fubuki replies, as Kuro forms a small smile and breathed a relieved sigh. " And... I do, need a friend too... " Fubuki said, as she forms a small smile too before glancing at Kuro who's eating his ice-cream while looking away.

The edge of Yagoo's lips curved upwards, forming a smile. " Is that the reason..? " Mio asked, as Kuro stop eating and glanced towards Fubuki. " Nothing more? Are you not planning to get closer..? " Yagoo joined in, Fubuki, getting Yagoo's intention breathed air by her nose and looked towards Yagoo. " Stop it with the teasing please... " Fubuki said, with a hint of red on her cheeks.

Yagoo smiles more, as he then pat on Kuro's head who's seemingly confused as to what's going on.

Deciding to speak up, Kuro opened his mouth. " What teasing? Old man, what are you talking about, and closer? What do you mean? " Kuro asked, legitimately confused, as Yagoo smiles. " Well, it may seems that Fubuki is in- "

" Μηδενικός Κόσμος "

*Chlick...*

...

It sounded like a single bit of water dropping towards a surface of a lake inside a cave. The sound, is instantly erased, with no sound entering her ears nor Yagoo's ears. " Did you have any need of using that? " soon, the sound of crowds and chattering enters Yagoo's and Fubuki's ears once more. With Yagoo standing still not opening his mouth, and Fubuki smiling. " The need is to shut a certain someone up... " Fubuki replies back, and continue bitting on her ice-cream as Mio and Kuro are left confused.

" ... What..? " Kuro asked, as Fubuki smiles at him. " Nothing. " she replies back, as Kuro is now more confused. " Okay... so old man, what were you going to say? " Kuro asked, looking towards Yagoo. " It may seems that Fubuki is in need of a joke, from the stress building up of being a ruler, no? " Yagoo easily changed the subject, as Fubuki keep her smile. " Yes, I do. " Fubuki replies back, as Yagoo chuckled before straightening his body. " Anyways, I will go sightseeing around the city. Kuro, you can stay with Fubuki if you want. Catching up with each other might be a good idea for relieving some stress or... loneliness. " Yagoo said, with his last word being directed towards Kuro.

Smiling, Kuro nodded, " Sure, just don't go missing okay? Will be a pain to try finding you in this big city. " Kuro replies back, as Yagoo smiles, " Yes, well then, I'll be going. " Yagoo said, before walking away to the crowds.

Fubuki, watches Yagoo's backs, as his figure starts to dissolve with the crowds.

...

" What an interesting human... "

-----

Opening her eyes, she is instantly met with the bright light of a TL-D lamp, planted on the ceiling which forces her eyes to close again. Before looking to her right and blinking her eyes a few times. Seeing a brown colour, yet blurry, she tried blinking few more times. " Where... am I..? " she heard hew own voice, so it seems that she can speak...

" Fubuki? How are you feeling, are you okay? " a voice entered her ears, the voice is unfamiliar for her. A hand holding her hand, the hand feels soft. She never heard this voice, but...

Soothing.

The voice that enters her ear is soothing, as if the voice itself can drown her in a soft wool but she can still breathe. Feeling the fluffy wool, able to make her sleep comfortably.

Trying to clear her sight once more, she can finally see clearly... brown hair, blue eyes with a star pin on her left hair. A red ribbon that's shaped to two leaves with the shape of a V. A soft smile planted on her face, her face seemingly contains pureness itself. " Who... are you..? " Fubuki asked, as the girl open her mouth to speak, " My name is Tokino Sora, it's been long since we last met... Fubuki. " Sora replies back, gaining Fubuki a confused look.

" If you have any questions, please hold it in from asking now. I need to gather certain people first, one of them, you know him well. " Sora said with a smile, as Fubuki nodded slowly, before laying back her head to the pillow.

Seeing her old friend laying down on the bed softly, Sora smiles before going to find Yagoo.

" ... What was that though..? " Fubuki asked to herself, as she starts recalling the... video? Of her meeting a black haired woman named Mio, and someone named Yagoo, and...

( Kuro..? Why was he in the video? Why did he looked the same as he is now? ) Fubuki asked, as she sighed before another thought seeped in her head. ( What about dad and mom?! ) she thought with panic, before she remembered that they were gone to head to a party. A sigh companied with relief escaped, as time flows.

Minutes passed, hearing a door opening, Fubuki looked towards the door and see Sora, with a man and...

" Kuro..? What are you doing here? "

-----

" Kuro..? What are you doing here? " those words fills his ears, the sense of familiarity with relief enters his heart. But soon, is replaced with feeling his heart tightening, as if being grabbed and crushed. The memories that he saw... was unpleasant.

" I... " Kuro, stop his sentence before looking away with guilt. His eyes, covered with shadow and his bangs. How could he face her after that, even though-

" Take it easy... " Yagoo's voice entered his ear, as Kuro looked at Yagoo with a smile formed on his face. How could he smile like that..?

Kuro thought, as he nodded hesitantly before looking towards Fubuki with a sad smile. " I'm... checking up on you. " he said, as Fubuki opened her mouth a little bit before smiling. " Thanks for checking up on me... " Fubuki said, as Kuro nodded, while Yagoo and Sora looked at him pitifully.

Silence filled the room, no one talked with the seemingly awkward situation.

Deciding to fill the atmosphere, Sora talked, " So, Fubuki? Do you have any questions? " Sora asked, as he walked over next to Fubuki's bed and seat on a chair. With Yagoo too following and Kuro seating on a chair. " I do... where am I? " Fubuki asked, as Sora smiles.

" You are at HoloLive Corp. " Sora replies, as Fubuki stopped a bit, receiving the information inside her head before nodding. " So... what happened before I passed out? I remembered that an earthquake was happening. " Fubuki asked, as Sora answered, " I will answer this one, if the question you have next is the one that I think it is. " Sora answered, as Fubuki raised her eyebrows. " Uh... okay..? So... I think I watched something..? No, it was like, I'm being someone and meeting someone. I think I met Kuro and the man over there. " Fubuki said, as Sora looked towards Yagoo who smiled. " Well then, it seems that I was right. "

Sora said, as Fubuki raised her eyebrows once more. " You know that I will ask that? " " Sort of. " Sora replies, as Fubuki nodded a few times. " So... are you going to answer it? " Fubuki asked, as Sora giggles,

" Okay, for your first question, a pillar spiralled down near your house, though it wasn't just any pillar. It was the pillar that kills the Gods. " Sora said, as it surprises Fubuki.

" You're joking right? " Fubuki asked with a chuckle, but Sora's face didn't indicate any lies or joke. " ... So this pillar, falls down from the sky, and crashes down near my house? "

" Yes. " Sora replied, " Oh... I-I don't know what to say... " Fubuki said, shock, confusion, fear is clouding her mind and judgement as of now. She didn't get any of this, okay she get what Sora meant with the pillar but. How? Why?

" Take it easy Fubuki... " Sora calmed her, as Fubuki slowly calms down, Sora smiles in satisfaction before she began talking once more. " Well, I suppose for your second question, the one that'll be answering it isn't me, but him. " Sora said, as she points towards Yagoo. " My name is Motoaki Tanigo, but you can call me Yagoo. " Yagoo said, as Fubuki nodded, " Well then, this is going to be a long story. " Yagoo said, before Fubuki stops him.

" Long story? Why is it..? " she asked, as Yagoo instantly replies. " Because this will connect to the event that's happening currently, also telling you more about the past. Or, memories shown in your dream. " Yagoo said, as Fubuki stops and digest the sentences.

" ... What? "
