9 Separation: A New Adventure (1/2)

Turns out that fight last night affected me more than I thought. I can tell it's perfectly normal to be tense in times like this but I still was bothered.

It never went as far as me having nightmares about those guys but I now had constant thoughts of how I would die. It's true that I've already died once but I wasn't conscious at that time so I don't really know.

For the next couple of days, I slowly started to piece back together thoughts and began to return back to my normal life. I mean who was the one who wanted to come to this dangerous universe me I can only blame myself. I choose this path and I'm not going to back done on something like death.

Right now I'm currently at Irina's house and we're just watching cartoons. While they weren't bad I still preferred works from my past life. I mean they were good to pass the time but in a way they were plain.

Then I remembered that Issei's show was able to get really popular really quickly. Maybe it was because it was something new and people could find anything better to do?

While I was thinking things like this Irina's Dad, Touji Shidou called her to his study. When she was gone I made my way towards the Holy Sword on the side of the room. It didn't seem like a really powerful holy sword but it was still a nice looking sword.

As a blacksmith, I had my eye on things like these and slowly started to examine the sheath and handle. I was able to hear some muffled voices in the background but I set it aside as I was feeling the engraving of the sword.

Lost in my own thoughts I heard the day slam open and noticed are teary-eyed Irina. I wanted to ask what's wrong but she jumped into my chest and started to ball her eyes out. Confused and dumbfounded I saw her dad standing there with an awkward expression.

I got a basic understanding of what was going on when I remembered the storyline and slowly gestured to him to leave it to me. Giving me a thankful expression he closed the door and left us alone.

A couple minutes passed before Irina calmed down, but she would release me from her grip. Knowing that I had to do something I spoke out.

Yuu - Can you tell me what's wrong?

Irina - I-it's my family...

Her voice was shaking almost like she was scared.

Yuu - Irina come on Irina you know you can tell me anything right?

Irina - Were moving my family is moving out of Japan b-but I don't want to leave!!!!

She started to cry again and held me tighter.

Yuu - Where are you moving?

Irina - England

Yuu - That's far.

Irina - En

Yuu - Is there no changing it

Irina - En

Giving out a sigh as if I'm giving up I grab Irina's shoulders, pull her away from me and look her in the eye.

Yuu - Listen, Irina... there's nothing we can do here we're just kids. We can't change the decisions of adults.

Irina - But what abo--

Yuu - I'll be fine it's not like we'll never see each other again... Here take this.

Interrupting her I state my claim and start looking for something to have her remember me by. What I came up with was the black chained necklace I was wearing. It was one of the hardest things I've made so far with my [Blacksmith] skill.

The chain was only 1 centimeter thick and it had no fancy design. The only decor I had of it was the set of black and white wings overlapping each other. {A/N: Think of the Scouting Regiment Symbol from Attack on Titan}

Irina was surprised by my action because while it did look plain it also looked expensive up close.Not giving her a moment to respond I took the necklace off my neck and placed it on her's.
