“It was nice irlfriend,” Ate Risa said, her closed eyes like crescents and her smile pretty wide
“Ate Risa, she’s not h!” I could only face pal that Eris, this crazy girl, was irlfriend
“What a shy boy!”
After she said that, she hit me on the shoulder
“The fuck,” I justwith Ate Risa She’s hopeless
“Anyway, be careful on your way alright?”
“Okay, thank you again Ate Risa! See you later!” I really wanted to smack this Eris already Ate Risa? What the fuck, she was acting as if she was already close to my sister!
“Yeah, yeah, now out!” I pushed Eris out of the gates of our house while saying goodbye to Ate Risa I was going to walk her hoht o’clock
To be honest, I really didn’t care if she would get raped or if she would be picked on by the drunks by the sidewalks, but after soive rantingafter hercrazy for even thinking that what Eris said would be true
“Thank you Eros for walking ing by her side
“Tch Hey, I want to ask you soether
“What is it?”
“Are you real?”
“Uh… what do you inal or made in China?”
“I really will hit you, that wasn’t funny at all!” I raised n that I really wanted to hit her, but I restrained myself
“Eh…” She pouted, “What do you et it!”
“Before I start, how old are you anyway!?”
“Sevente-en!”
“Minus ten? You act like a seven years old,” I deadpanned, and she pouted I groaned in exsperation
“And stop pouting, you’re not cute! fuck”
“I’ll stop pouting if you stop cursing,” she answered back, pouting again
“Tch Are you really a genie? Can you really grant me my wish?”
Her pout became even more pronounced when I said that
“I’rant wishes like soenie! There are rules, there are sacrifices you ranted”
My eyebroere knitted together in confusion, “huh? Rules? Sacrifices?”
“You see, I’el but I wasn’t ready to be one I died in an unexpected way, so I asked God if He could give ain because I really, really, want to live again”
“So that’s why you got awith a seven year old kid that liked to talk about their iinary friend
“Yup My dyo, are a rebel You like to fight people, you’re always mad and you always think that you’re a horrible person, but I want to tell you Eros… you’re not as bad as you think You always tell to yourself that you hate everything but I know that deep inside,” she then started to point at , for someone My mission is to make you realise that you are not really a person full of hate, and that love can also spring from that heart of yours”
“You don’t knowat my chest
“You want ht? You want to believe in ht?”
My eyes widened at what I heard, “H-How did-”
“I told you I’el, Eros”
“So now, angels are mind readers too? What the fuck!”
“I can’t read minds but I have the ability to feel what you feel, Eros I kno much you love your Ate Risa, you care for her thateyes Even if you deny it yourself, there is still love in that heart of yours Eros, I believe that there’s no one in this world who is purely evil…” She said, looking at me with sincerity in her eyes I didn’t knohat to say so suddenly when I felt aard
“W-What!? H-Hey! J-Just… shut up!”
“He-ey! He’s blushi+ng! You’re so cute!” She giggled, her grin co back
“What the-! Don’t do that, daet away from me!”
“No way!” She teasedme, which she was successful at with even just her words
“Try continuing it and I’ll smack you!”
She giggled, “fine, fine I’ll stop I’ll explain to you how this mission works”
“Hey, who told you I’?!”
She sighed, “oh corant you a wish, including healing your sister, I can do that as long as we finish this mission in time”
“Tch,” I huffed, but kept silent as she finally started explaining her ‘mission’
“I have a heart necklace,” she suddenly held a necklace high, close to my face The necklace had a clock pendant and in the s adorned both sides of the heart
“And what do I care about your necklace?”
“Heez!”
“Tch”
“The heart in the necklace is empty for now, but we have to fill it”
“Fill it?”
“Yup, the heart on the necklace has to be fully red When that happens, you can wish for anything And for it to beco good, the heart autoets filled The aht deed then of course, only a little will be added But if you do a heavy good deed then a lot more parts of this heart would be colored and ould be oal”
“So you mean I have to make that heart red first?!”
“Yips,” she nodded, happy as ever
“Can’t we just paint it red?!”
“Wha-at! We can’t! Geez!”
“I was just joking”
“But Eros, we only have one month”
“Ha?”
“My mission time is only one month In that time period, I have to make this heart fully red…”
“What happens if you don’t?”
“Mission… failed”
“So you won’t get to live again?”
