"Ughs... My whole body hurts a lot." said Mizu lirih.

"Thank God you're awake."

"Who are you? Where's me?" mizu asked a little surprised when she realized she was not alone.

"My name is Matoba Seiji, you're in my house" Seiji replied as he gave Mizu a glass of warm soup.

"Thank you. Umm.. How am I supposed to be here? Did you save me?" mizu asked while receiving a bowl of soup from Seiji's hand.

"... Why are you there?" Seiji asked Mizu.

"Ah.. It's a long story, I don't know if you'll believe me or not after hearing it."

tok...

"Master Matoba, may I come in?" say someone behind the door.

"Wait a minute, I'll be out. Miss, you rest first. I have some business, just call me if you need anything, "seiji told Mizu and walked out of Mizu's room.

at Youri's house

"Ughs... Hoshs.. Hoshs... NO...!!!" the sound of Youri's cry being so loud shocked Rikuo and Kichiro who were resting next to her.

"Ah.. Signore... You are conscious, thank goodness lord huuu. "kichiro said full of haru when he saw Youri awake.

"Hey, you're this.. What's wrong with you? He just realized, not dead. Why are you crying for her?" rikuo ketus.

"... What happened to Mizu? youri asked pans took her face down.

Youri asked Kichiro and Youri but none of them answered. It is certain that Mizu was dead and her soul was destroyed, she was sucked into an endless cavity along with the stealth scorpion.

"Ah.. this is impossible.no. I have to go to the Sky Palace and meet Eidoshia. Ugh..!" Rikuo realized something. But as he tried to stand up, the wounds he got from the fox demon and the snake demon instead made him fall to his knees.

"What do you want to do? Why are you so panicked?" ask Youri to investigate.

"Act.. L'm.. Hufth... All right, I'll tell you the truth. Tsukiko divides her soul before she dies, some in Mizu's body and others fuse and turn into energy last month and scatter to protect the existing lotus plant. As long as we can reunite his soul, there is still the possibility that Tsukiko will reincarnate" Rikuo said at length.

Youri couldn't believe what she had heard, so much had happened lately and even she had to hear news like this about Tsukiko. Mizu had been sucked into an endless cavity whose energy was unstable, Mizu's soul must have been destroyed.

"Get out, I want to rest" Youri said with a trembling voice holding back the cries.

- At the residence of Matoba -

"Sir, I've locked up the man with the girl. It's true that sir said that he's a demon, do we have to kill him immediately?" said the Matoba family servant.

"No, I still need it. There's something I want to ask him, just leave him in the dungeon" Seiji said.

"Okay sir, then what about the girl, sir? Looks like he's human, should I use magic to examine him?"

"No, let it go. I can take care of it. You come back." said Seiji then went back into Mizu's room.

"Anoo.. Can I go home?" pinta Mizu when she saw Seiji enter her room.

"I live near University X."

"All right, tomorrow I'll take you. But, are you really okay?

"Um.. I'm fine." said Mizu reassuringly.

the next day - the next day

"Ah.. Mizu, where have you been? You're not at college or at home. You didn't even give me the news." Key immediately approached Mizu when he saw her get off the car.

"Um.. I. I'm sorry, I.. "

"Ichigo-san, are you in trouble? I'm sorry to interrupt, but she was with me last night and this morning I drove her home" said Seiji, who tried to help Mizu explain her feelings to Key.

"Last night? Last night you were together? Mizu, I need an explanation from you. Come with me." Key who was surprised after hearing the explanation from Seiji immediately changed his attitude and pulled Mizu's hand into Mizu's house.

Brakk..!!

Key hits Mizu's room wall right over Mizu's head. The surprised Mizu immediately cupped her hands together in her chest, she never saw Key's facial expression like this.

"Tell me, what did you do last night? Why can you be with him? And why don't you give me the news? Even your phone can't be reached. What the hell is going on?" Key hunts down Mizu with so many questions.

Mizu thought about hiding it, but she could never lie to Key. Key can always make Mizu tell the truth in various ways. Mizu finally gave up and told Key the truth, although at first Key looked very surprised and in disbelief, but Mizu's facial expression clearly showed that she was telling the truth.

"There's something strange about your story. You said that you've been in the demon world for a week, but you disappeared for only a day" Key thought as he held his chin.

"Huh? I disappeared just a day you said? Taps.. But... I was actually there for a week" Mizu said stammering as she kicked across the table and half-standing.

"Then, there must be a time difference between the demon world and our world. You're like a time traveler, haha" said Key, who tried to melt the atmosphere because he saw Mizu panic.

"Ugh.. It could be laughing at a time like this." Mizu said pouting.

"Haha.but thank God you're okay. Umh.... Or maybe you're turning into a demon?" Key suddenly showed a terrified expression and sat back down.

"Mom.. Nope.. I'm not a demon. Stop playing. Hicks.." Mizu tried to hit Key and almost cried.

"Haha.. Alright. alright... There might be a demon as beautiful as you. Quit crying." Key held Mizu in his arms and stroked Mizu's head to calm Mizu down.

at Youri's house

"Sir.you have not fully recovered. Please return to your master's room to rest." said Kichiro who was sad to see his master standing by the lotus pond while looking at the endless cavity near the Sakaki tree.

Youri only sighed in response to Kichiro's remark and returned to her room without saying anything. Kichiro followed him from behind. Suddenly Rikuo arrives and informs Youri of Mizu's whereabouts after she returns from the Sky Palace to meet Eidoshia.

in Youri-room

"Are you sure of what you just said?" ask Youri with a face full of hope.

"Of course, didn't Eidoshia know everything? No, he just knows a lot of things. It's also a complicated way to get information about the strange girl."
