hapter 78: I Miss You So Much (2/2)
“About that, I have to apologize in advance. While he was summoned by me, he doesn’t really listen to my commands. Perhaps it’s due to an error in summoning.” Regarding this issue, as Vick’s master, I was equally vexed by this as well.
“How annoying.” For some people, the more angry they got, they less the they showed it on their faces. Habona was one such person. She looked at me with an icy look on her face and asked in a matter-of-fact tone: “Can I kill him?”
“…anything is fine except for killing. As long as he has the strength to float back, it’s alright.”
Upon hearing that, she finally revealed a trace of her anger. She took aim at the playful ghost and swiped at him with her claws, eliciting an immediate cry of pain from Vick who drifted away without any hesitation.
She turned towards the direction he fled in and coldly smiled, “Since he’s already here, there’s no need to worry about him being unable to return is there?”
“…go right ahead.”
After teaching him a lesson, she resumed her hunting while I went back to my crafting. And so, the rest of the day passed by uneventfully.
In the midst of my sleep, I dreamt of the eloping couple tangled up in each other’s arms. While the sight of a wolf and a snake doing it together was exceeding odd and painful for the eyes, it also stirred up the melancholy in my heart.
Even a wolf and a snake were able to get together…as for me? Am I a devil or a human? Probably a devil…I do have red skin after all. I didn’t have any hair either and even had a horn on my head. Thankfully, I still possessed a humanoid form so I should still be able to be with Nicole, assuming I’m unable to regain my human form…
Nicole, where are you now? Is everything alright for you, did you try to find me…did you miss me? Did you and Sares end up together? You’re already 13 this year. In just a few more years, you’ll be of marrying age. As for me? I’m still trapped in this god forsaken place…exactly how long will it take for me to leave…
Or will I be trapped here forever…
All of a sudden, I felt the urge to sing…swells of power rose up in my throat as the world around me quietened down, it was as if I was the only person awake in the world. This was the first time I’ve heard my singing voice since I’ve reincarnated. While my previous incarnation had an excellent singing voice, it couldn’t compare to what I had now.
It was a girl’s voice, graceful yet sad, stirring yet desolate. It was a voice that brought tears to its listeners as its sorrowful waves rolled over them.
Turn on the lights, the scene in front of my eyes
The spacious room, the lonely bed
Turn off the lights, it’s all the same
The wound in my heart, unable to be shared
Life flows away with time
turns old with gray hair
leaves with you, no news of happiness
fades away with the past
falls asleep with my dreams
leaves with the numb heart
I miss you, miss you, but no trace is left
I’m still tiptoeing in missing you
I’m still letting the memories hover/spiral
I’m still shedding tears with my eyes closed
I still pretend not to care
I miss you, miss you, but I deceive myself
Turn on the lights, the scene in front of my eyes
The spacious room, the lonely bed

Turn off the lights, it’s all the same
The wound in my heart, unable to be shared
Life flows away with time
turns old with gray hair
leaves with you, no news of happiness
fades away with the past
falls asleep with my dreams
leaves with the numb heart
I miss you, miss you, but no trace is left
I miss you, miss you, but I deceive myself
I miss you, miss you, I’ll just make it a secret
I miss you, miss you, so I hide it deep in my heart

I knew that the lyrics didn’t really fit our location but I still did it anyway, thrice. The first was in Chinese, the second in the language of the western realms and third in the language of the devils.
I closed my eyes and shut off the outside world and sang. I sat with my back to the wall
, hands wrapped around my knees as I swayed to the melody. The world was empty except for a twin tailed beautiful redhead beckoning to me. My mouth broke into a smile, my first smile ever since I became a devil.
As the song ended, I vaguely sensed some movement beside me. I opened my eyes and got the shock of my life.
When did so many people get here?!
