In an alley behind some building

The place was gloomy and isolated from the sunlight leaving only the cool breeze of summer to reach it.

In the middle of that alley, a man wearing full black and a full mask, despite the hot weather, was holding his stomach and muttering something while sitting on his knees.

That violent woman!! Next time I will surely kill her!

The man was bleeding from his abdomen and looked completely worn out.

He forced his body to stand and leaned on a wall next to him. Dragging himself all the way, he walked through the gloomy alley.

(Where am I?)

Walking his way into an unknown place, the man saw a light.

He immediately halted and his eyes froze at the place where the light was coming from.

(How is this possible?! So many humans!)

Witnessing the enormous amount of people in front of him, the man widening his eyes behind the mask.

He kept watching the humans in front of him, who were wearing various clothes, and he eventually started trembling as he let a wicked smile reach his face.

(How lucky. Looks like the heavens havent abandoned me yet.)

Finishing his villainous laugh, the man turned around and walked his way back in the gloomy alley.

(I need to rest my body for now. I need to find a new vessel.)

The man, hatred godGerma, gradually merged into his gloomy surroundings and disappeared.

A week after I caught sight of Akuya.

Today again, I was standing and waiting for the green lights after shopping.

There werent many people around for some reason.

I wiped my forehead in the hot weather and looked around.

From that day on, I had become afraid of passing by the place I saw him, but fortunately, I didnt meet with Akuya a second time.

I forced my mom to go shopping instead of me since then, though it looked like I was just overreacting.

(Its just my imagination, yeah)

It was probably someone else.

After passing a week without bumping into him again, I started to feel relieved. There was no way Id meet him in this place, after all.

I did my best to believe in that.

Following the green light, I quickly crossed the road.

Despite the feeling of being relieved, I was still uneasy.

I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

The moment I decided to directly go back home

Huh, Sayaka-chan?

My legs stopped moving after I heard a familiar voice.

At that point, I despised my legs for stopping on their own.

If I had ignored the call and kept walking, things might have turned out for the better.

He mightve let me go.

I regretted halting my steps at his call.

Its you Sayaka-chan? Right?

Despite not turning around, the person who was calling me seemed to have gotten excited.

I already knew who that person was, but I didnt turn around.

I moved to this town mainly because I didnt want to meet him. Why do I have to see him again?

Not wanting to face reality, I remained stiff.

Whats wrong? Did you perhaps forget about me?

His voice seemed kinda lonely when I didnt turn around.

I didnt forget him.
