******* Part 1:

A few minutes have passed since the departure of Lord Kora and acrodite.

My name is Aina, and I am currently trying to calm the panicked Rika when I see her papa disappear. Hehe he really loves Mr. Kora well, honestly I am the same.

"Law..... Brother Aina, is papa going to be okay?"

Rika asked like that to me when she calmed down, I answered her with a smile.

"Just calm Rika, your papa will be fine. As long as he's with acrodite, then he'll be fine"

"Sir acrodite? Who's she?" rika asked with a face that looked confused, hmm..... Why is Rika confused? Has he not known acrodite yet?

"The acrodite's brother was a star of Kora's master, he was your father's weapon and his protector"

"What's a standard?"

"Pulse... Brother doesn't know much about it either, but what you know is that Staris is a protector from evil made from the soul of its owner"

"Emmm.... Rika doesn't really understand, but if papa is with acrodite's brother then papa will be okay huh?"

"Yes!, your papa will be fine"

I also smiled at Rika who seemed to have calmed down. Yes, Mr. Kora will be fine, even if I am not at his side, as long as there is an acrodite sis then everything will be fine.... Until the surprising thing appeared.

"Halloo Ainakuuu we go home yuk!!!''

And my sense of tenacity was instantly shattered when I saw the acrodite brother appearing in front of me. Why is acrodite's sister here?? Where is Mr Kora?

"Sir acrodite!? What are you doing here!! Where is Mr Kora?"

"Umm..etto, my master was on a mission for a while so he left first, he also sent me to take you back to the inn. So let's go home"

"Wait a minute, brother, you're not lying, are you?"

"Where could I possibly lie with my Aina, if I lied then I was the same as a criminal right?"

"Yes you're right"

Yes he was right, acrodite never lied to me, she was an ora---uh I mean an honest sword. And he would also not be able to lie before being told by his owner, Mr. Kora, so lying was impossible for him.

"So where is Mr Kora now? Is he okay?"

"She's calm, she's fine. Hm.... Maybe he'll be home later in the afternoon"

"Oh so well, so Mr. Kora will come home later in the afternoon yahh "

Hm... Mr. Kora got a sudden mission huh, hopefully he's fine while running it. Even though he had such an important mission, he was always watching us. Mr. Kora is indeed very good hehee.

"U-um.... Brother Aina? Whose sister is talking to you?" asked Rika who was sitting next to me while looking at me with a confused look and tilting her head.

"Who what? Not that Rika has seen it, I'm currently talking to acrodite's sister right?"

"Sir acrodite? Is acrodite's brother here!? Where is Aina's sister?"

Eh? Why does Rika ask like that? Isn't it obvious that he's in front of her? Did he have an eye disorder?

"He's right in front of you, Rika. U-um can't you see it?"

"Emmm.... Yeah, Rika didn't see anyone in this room, other than Rika's sister... Um, is sister Aina okay?"

Ehh!!! Why is he looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me? Hm.... If it is wrong, according to sister Rias, this gaze is called a look of pity, which is where this look of pity is shown when someone sees something sad. For example, when someone stares at a young man or a young woman who has a mental attack that makes them go crazy.

Hm..... So, the reason Rika looked at me like that was..... Hm....... Ehh!!! Why does she think of me like that!!!

"No, no, no Rika, I-I'm not that kind of person. I can actually see acrodite's sister, she's actually in de----

"It's enough Ainaku, it's free for you to explain. Even if your mouth is foaming - even foam, he still won't be able to understand it"

"Ehh!! Why?"

"Because he hasn't been able to activate his staris, so he won't be able to see me before he's active. And also, of course since he was a child, he was only 7 years old. Aren't you?"

"Oh so yes brother acrodite, sorry well I don't know about it" I also apologized to acrodite brother who was still flying in front of me. I wanted to bend myself while apologizing to show that I was sorry, but acrodite prevented me. Why yes?

"Just calm down, take it easy, I don't mind. Oh yes than you make the girl more misunderstood, you better explain it immediately"

"Explain!? Wh-but how!?"

"Hm... Maybe just say, if I was a ghost that can only be seen by you and my master. Maybe he can understand it, because the little boy likes to hallucinate ghosts and the like"

"Yah!! True too, I also as a child often hear stories like that"

"Yes, if you understand, now cut out everything to the girl"

"Yes acrodite's sister"

I turned around and looked at Rika who was still wearing the same expression, until finally her expression changed when I explained everything.

About acrodite is a ghost that can only be seen by me and the lord kora, and also about the ghost of acrodite is very good. Wellh if I don't add those things, then he'll definitely be afraid of acrodite. I wouldn't want that to happen.

*****

"Ja-so so well sister Aina, acrodite's sister is a good ghost" said Rika nervously who seemed not to believe my story too much, maybe because he was little he was often told that ghosts are evil.

"Yes, acrodite's sister is a very good ghost, she also always helps me and Mr. Kora" replied me with a sweet smile of mine to make Rika really believe in it.

"Ep.... Yes, I believe in Brother Aina!!"

Rika also returned my smile with her sweet smile, which made me feel relieved that I had told her that, but I also felt guilty for lying to her.

I'm sorry yahh....

"Hm hm, happy ending, cih! I hate this!. But if for my sake I will try to like it" murmured brother Acrodite who made me look at him confused, what does acrodite hate? Is there something she hates? Hm.....

I thought about the word "hate" in my mind, because I never had anything I hated so I didn't know much about it. Is hate the same as dislike? Or maybe different? Hm..... Let it be, as long as I am not hated by master Kora, then I do not need to learn it!!! Doesn't it?.

"Okay, Ainaku, now it's time we go back to the inn. The guards will know"

"Yes, acrodite!!. Um.... Oh yes, that acrodite brother was told to seek information with Mr. Kora. Is it done? Later if it is not finished, Mr. Kora will be angry loh" I asked innocently while smiling at him, because I remember that then I have to remind him too right? You see, acrodite's sister is forgetful. Just like my brother hehehe.

"Just calm down, Ainaku, it's done. Later if my master has gone home, I'll tell him everything"

"Is that so!? I-I'm sorry I asked you something unnecessary..."

"It's okay, you let's go home. Oh yes, you told Rika first that we will move places, so that later she will not be surprised"

"Yes, acrodite!!"

I looked towards Rika who was beside me, and it seemed like Rika was thinking about something..... It looks from his serious face. Rika turns out to still be cute huh even though her face is serious like that, hm? What is this feeling?

Why does my chest feel tight and sore? W-what the fuck - don't I get a disease!?

"Ainaku's innocent hahaha is indeed cute huh, it's not Ainaaku's disease" replied acrodite as she approached me and Rika.

And then when acrodite's brother was next to me, I heard a pretty weird noise that made me feel a little bit anxious. However, after I checked it seriously, I found out that it turned out to be the voice of acrodite's sister. Um.... Could he be casting a spell? Because there are a lot of words I don't understand.

"What do you mean acrodite's sister?" I asked with a puzzled look at the acrodite sis beside me.

"Well, like I said, it's not a disease and you're okay. That symptom is something more important than illness and all sorts of abnormal statuses"

"Hm?"

I also tilted my head cutesy, for I did not understand the meaning of the words acrodite, something more important than illness, what is a curse? No, it seems not, because curses belong to an abnormal status. Something more important than all the problems in the body... More important.... From disease....

Ughhh.... I don't know!! I can't understand it at all!! Ms....

"Hahaha don't think too much, later you will know for yourself" said acrodite with a smile to me that makes me feel a little calm.... Eh? Wait a minute, why do I know acrodite's sister is smiling? His form did not change from earlier, but why did I know that acrodite's brother was smiling?

Ahaha well of course I don't know the reason, but even so, I don't know why I can just know hehe. It is time to continue my work.

"Let's go home Rika" asked me in a cheerful voice while smiling at Rika who still had the same expression as before.

"Law..... Brother Aina, sister Aina, will I also be able to see acrodite? You see I feel a little uncomfortable when I see Brother Aina talking to herself like that"

"Eh?? Te-of course! you can see Rika later, if you continue to practice and learn, maybe you can see her later"(but, please don't often - often see me as a person full of misfortune, he said, I feel like I could really go crazy knowing).

"What is Aina's sister!!!?"

"Yes, I'm serious"

"Waahhh, will I also be able to see something that only papa can see?"

"Yes of course" I just said that with a smile, because I didn't know what to answer.

Rika looked very happy when she heard my answer, while I who saw it only felt guilty for lying to her again. I'm sorry about that again, Rika.

("Relax me, you're not lying, your explanation is a fact that only a few people know. So don't keep going - continue to apologize like that, a girl can't apologize first")

Ehh!!! Acrodite's sister!? Why did you enter my mind?

Be-so? There are no side effects, right?

("Hahaha Ainaku turns out to be able to joke as well huh, hahaha I like that").

Then the telepathy ended with the words acrodite in the real world who said that...

"The spell is over!! The place has been decided, and are you ready to move?" asked acrodite while excitedly turning to look at me.

I nodded and hugged Rika tightly which made Rika confused. Sorry this time I won't explain it.

"Well, time for teleportation!!! Dark Portals!!!"

****

Instantly the sky became dark, all the floors and stone walls around me also began to change color to jet black.

Rika also panicked when she saw this incident, of course I was equally shocked but I will not show it.

"Sir Aina what happened!? Why did it come to be night?!" rika asked as she hugged me tightly, it seemed like she was more panicked than I expected.

I smiled gently as I looked at Rika like that, and in a soft and relaxed voice I answered her question.

"Let's just relax, Rika, this is what Acrodite's sister did, she used her magic to move us straight to the inn"

"Magic? Is that Aina's sister? Is that the same "staris" you mentioned earlier?" rika asked as she tilted her head and looked at me confusedly.

"Pulse... Brother also somewhat does not understand about magic, but as far as you know, magic is the same staris is different. Even though my sister doesn't know about both"

"Hm... That's so, sister Aina..."

"Yes it's like that"

Rika also felt a little disappointed and looked gloomy after hearing my ambiguous explanation, sorry Rika I can not give a satisfactory answer...

I unconsciously smiled bitterly, when I really could not find the answer to Rika's curiosity, my knowledge was still very little huh. Even though I have read almost all the books in the forest library, I still can't understand what magic and staris are. I turned out to be more stupid than I thought...

However, when I began to feel confusion and guilt began to envelop me, suddenly I remembered something that made my lips return to make a beautiful smile. Yes, maybe this will work, let's try!!!

"But Rika, you can also use staris and magic when you can find a good teacher. And of course, if you keep trying to do it maybe you can use it" I said cheerfully while smiling at Rika who made her look at me with a surprised expression. W-why are you surprised like that!?

"Isn't that really Aina's sister??! Can I use it too?"

"Yes, you can definitely use it, I'm sure about that. As for teacher matters, I'll look for her so Rika take it easy huh, I will definitely help you!!"

"All right!! Thank you very much, Aina!!" Rika also smiled cheerfully as before towards me which made me relieved as well as happy, because I did not expect, I could solve my problems without the help of others. Yeey!! I can't believe I can do that!!!

"Try Rika, I support you!!"

"Yes!! Brother Aina" we both smiled at each other while staring at each other for a few seconds until...

"Hey you two, I'm done with my preparations. So we're going to start the move" said acrodite in a relaxed voice as usual that brought me back to my senses and saw her, Rika who was standing next to me started to hold tightly to my hand when she saw something happening in front of her.

Then, after acrodite said that, suddenly my vision darkened after a bright white light exploded like a flash that made me reflect close my eyes.

I also noticed my surroundings were changing. This room is so dark, I can't see anything here. Hm? Oh yeah is Rika okay!? Where is she?

I frantically began to look in all directions in the room, until finally after I had an epiphany from my mind, I realized that Rika was the one I was looking for, it turned out that he was currently holding my hand while closing both of his eyes. (Did he faint?) I thought while checking on the girl.

However, when I wanted to check Rika who was closed by holding her forehead, suddenly my vision changed again after a light appeared at the end of the room and began to illuminate the room where I was.

"Where am I? Have I moved?" that was the first word I said when I saw a different scene in front of me.

I who was still holding Rika started to pay attention to the environment around me, and found a trash can beside me. This place is quite bright with sunlight that shines on it, but this place is also narrow because it is squeezed by 2 building walls that make 3 narrow streets visible in front, which is also narrow, my left and my right. Then at the end of one of the narrow streets, I saw several people and also a horse-drawn carriage passing by its pillars. Is this an alley in town?

"Alright, Ainaku is the same Rika, let's hurry to the inn before noon, so you can have lunch. You must be hungry, right? " take the acrodite brother who flew to and fro along the way out of this alley. She looks like a ya--Upss mosquito I can't say rich.

I walked with the acrodite to get out of this alley, but by the time I started walking to get close to her. Suddenly I felt my hand being held by someone who made me stop. Who is holding my hand!?

With anxiety, I turned around and geez!!..... I forgot that I was with Rika, even though I had already taken her like this!? W-w-why am I so forgetful like this!? Ughhhh... It's very embarrassing~

After that, I heard a faint voice - a faint person laughing behind me that made me feel like I wanted to hide in this trash can beside me. It's so embarrassing..... I want to hide!!!

I who was embarrassed to a level I could not handle anymore, immediately covered my face with only one hand because the other hand was holding Rika's hand. I lowered my head and curled up next to Rika who was still closing her eyes with my face blushing straight like a tomato when I remembered that. Uhh... It's embarrassing~

Acrodite's sister who was surprised to see me like that immediately apologized and tried to convince me, but... I still feel ashamed for doing such a shameful thing. If this is only 1 time maybe I can accept it, but this is the second time I forget something important in front of people I know. Ms... Why can I be such a forgetful and careless person....

*****

Then a few seconds had passed since I activated my trigger mode.

I as usual immediately apologized to acrodite after I calmed myself from that timid fashion.

I also regulate my breathing slowly so that my feelings become calmer and also so that I become more focused in order not to repeat it again.

(Alright Aina, calm yourself down and don't let that carelessness reoccur.).

After I calmed myself down, I remembered Rika and saw her beside me because Rika and I were still holding hands. Maybe Rika has opened her eyes, because the noise I made earlier should have shocked her. Yep that's my hope...

However, my hope was not granted. Because when I saw her, Rika the blue-haired girl was still closing her eyes which of course made me confused and panicked.

Wh-why is Rika still closing her eyes!?

W-did he faint!?

Ka-ka-sister acrodite, Rica..... Rican.... In-at-he....

"Ahahaha your reaction is too much.. Take it easy Ainaku, Rika is fine. He's just been hit (Sleep mode)"

"(Sleep mode)? What'sthat?... Uh! A-a-what's that kind of curse!?"

Ji-if it's a curse then...... Then..... That would be so bad!!

"OK okay Ainaaku, calm yourself down and don't panic while spinning around in such a place. You're making me worry more than Rika you know, and Rika's the one whose hand you're still holding"

I nodded to Acrodite while taking off my armband and stood sweetly beside Rika while waiting for her explanation. Yes, I must calm down and listen to Acrodite's explanation... I need to calm down...... L'm... Must..... Uwahhh!!! I can't calm myself!!!

"All right, all right, Ainaku. I'll explain now so please stop turning around and listen carefully!!"

"It wasn't a curse, but rather an effect because he was teleporting openly, for the first time"

"Openly?"

What is that huh? Hm... Wasn't Rika wearing clothes?

"It's not open like that Ainaku, hahaha you like to joke yes"

I'm not kidding...... Why did Acrodite know my thoughts!?

"Just calm down, don't make things complicated."

L-iya??

"Openly that is to say, he experienced the teleportation ritual directly with both eyes. But, because maybe he was a child, so if you experience it suddenly, of course it makes him shocked right? Then finally he was exposed to the effect (sleep mode) it"

"Hm.... I see, so what exactly is (sleep mode)?"

"(Sleep mode) is a state in which the brain stops functioning for a few minutes, due to the salu effect..... Ahh you must be a little hard to understand, huh? Um..... If it's easier, Rika experienced a blank effect because she experienced an incident that made her shocked" explained Mr. Acrodite with his cheerful voice filled with enthusiasm, but I can't understand it at all!! Sorry, Mr. Acrodite...

"Yok ya?"

"He was in shock, because this was his first experience, maybe he was shocked when he saw the dark room. But I don't think that's how much, though, because the situation at that time was added to the response of people nearby who made him panic and fear that eventually made him experience shock and enter the (sleep mode) it. How do you understand?" acrodite finished her explanation with pride, I also understand somewhat of her explanation.

(Sleep mode) it's not a curse like mine, but just a state of bodily response.

Then, I also understood that Rika was experiencing (sleep mode) because of me, because I did not explain anything to her and just hugged her. Maybe he misunderstood my embrace that made him think it was so bad that I tried to protect him.

Just try telling him... Perhaps he would not experience such a state and he was amazed by this amazing magic.

I'm sorry Rika, I've made you experience that fear. If you feel traumatized by it then you can punish me. Ii'm sorry....

I also stroked - Rika's head elus who was still closing her eyes while continuing to apologize inside me which of course she could not hear.

My tears also started to come out of my eyes, because I had experienced what it was like to be the one who experienced that fear. That was terrible.... I don't even feel like experiencing it anymore..

You've been through such a terrible thing, Rika, I'm sorry.....

"Ainaku~, you don't feel so guilty like that. This isn't all your fault, I know, if you didn't know about this before?"

"Yes... But, even though I don't know... Still I have made her experience such fear!!!! I've made him experience events that could have traumatized him you know!!...."

"Yes, I know you will feel that way. But yes, Rika is a strong child I know that, a small incident like this will not be traumatized. So please don't be so guilty about it, and let's wake him up!!"

Brother Acrodite said that while flying around me like a satellite, my heart became a little relieved and calm when he heard her words. Acrodite is very nice....

However, from the words of Acrodite's sister, she said that I should wake up, but how?

"You can wake Rika up by just calling her name anyway, so just calm down and do your job!!!"

"L-yes chief!!!!" I also unintentionally reply to the words of acrodite with the tone of the soldier I often hear. Acrodite's sister laughed loosely when she heard my answer, then I was usually embarrassed when laughed like that, somehow now I feel relieved and calm when I hear that laugh.

Because in my heart, I believe in the words and all that acrodite has done. So, I'll believe it too, if Rika can definitely go back to how she was and I'll apologize to her right away if Rika comes back. Alright, I have to solve this problem**!!!
