Three Lives

The Reiki holiday

I opened my eyes because of the sunlight coming through the window. My fatigue disappeared. Today is a holiday.

Verry told me to take a day off. I don't know what to do at a time like this. I decided to go around town and maybe I found something.

While circling the city, I found a place that interested me. The place is not big, but there are a lot of customers there. I went inside and was greeted by a maid with blue hair.

"Welcome, Sir!"

Her face was very sweet and the perfume was very fragrant. I could feel my heart beating faster.

"For how many?"

"Eh ... Just one."

"Well, I'll take it to your desk."

I followed the waiter, somehow I was so nervous. I don't understand the feeling I'm feeling right now. If there was someone I could ask.

"Okay, this is the menu."

I nervously picked and ordered food. Unknowingly, I kept watching him.

"Hey, kid. Do you like Akiko?"

Someone suddenly spoke to me. I was so shocked when he said that. He was an ordinary old man sitting behind me.

"Ah .. it ..."

"Ahaha. You have good eyes. I like you young man."

This old man looked happy and it felt like he was a good person.

"Do you want me to tell you something great?"

He whispered to me seriously. I wonder, it seems like this is something important.

"Actually ..."

"Eh?!"

I screamed and everyone looked at me. I smiled awkwardly and apologized. I really can't believe what he's saying.

This old grandfather turned out to be Akiko's grandfather?! I'm really embarrassed. I stared at his grandson blatantly in front of his grandfather.

"You're surprised, aren't you? Yeah ... I'm not mad at you. Akiko is a good girl but she was once betrayed by her ex-boyfriend. She's an adventurer and is dating Akiko just to take advantage of her."

What a jerk! I can't believe he dared to do such a stupid thing. My order came shortly. Akiko looked angry after putting my order on the table.

"Grandfather, what are you doing? I told you not to bother the customer."

"Where am I interrupting? I was just chatting with him. He's a great young man, you know?"

"Ah, so."

Akiko just left indifferently.

"I'm sorry he. Not mean to be evil but he hates men a little."

"Nm ... Is it a boy, I mean his ex-girlfriend is now still ..."

"Oh, just calm down. He's already dead. You know, in this country there's a magic knight named Zanir. He's a great man, stop wars, create peace and protect this country. Even so, he was a very good person and the whole community loved him. Upon hearing that Akiko was being taken advantage of by the man, Zanir killed her and threatened her entire family and relatives."

What a horrible story. But ... Is this person called White Zanir really such a great person? Every time I hear a story about him, I'm always amazed.

"seen? The person being talked about is coming."

I looked towards the entrance and saw a man my age. Yellow eyes, black hair and wearing a white shirt and blazer worn on the shoulders.

"Yo, old man."

He's a very carefree man.

"Oh, Zanir."

"May I sit here?"

"Ah t-sure."

I'm stuttering, maybe because he's a famous person so I'm like this.

"Akou! I ordered as usual!"

"Understand!"

Unlike the others, this person ordered in a shouting manner. He's a pretty unique person.

"What are you talking about?"

Zanir's face became serious. What was? Is he angry? He looked towards Akiko and I in turn.

"What's your name?"

"Ah right, I don't know your name yet either."

Does he seem angry? Is he going to kill me for approaching Akiko?

"R-reiki. Reiki Ashura's."

"Iki ... Are you serious?!"

Eh? what was? Wh why? Why is this guy happy?

"Yes ... Because of someone, Akiko became afraid of men. I'm looking for someone to take away his fear but the results are nil."

Zanir looked sad, was it that hard to find a partner.

"But at least thanks to you, it's been trying to help Akiko."

"G ... Just relax."

Zanir's order has come and he's eating it with pleasure. After he finished eating, he finished one bottle of alcohol in one gulp.

"Ah delicious!!"

He has now finished dozens of bottles of alcohol. Usually people will get drunk but he still continues to spend a lot of alcohol. I wondered where all the alcohol went.

"Alright, Iki. Are you seriously going to be with Akiko?"

Zanir's face was very close and his eyes were serious but I could smell the smell of alcohol from him.

"Y-Yes, of course. If that's possible."

"Well, I'll tell her so you can date her later in the day."

Whahuh? He can do that? But is this okay?

"Listen. Next is it depends on you."

He looks more like a threat than a help. He stood up and headed towards the kitchen but he said "Make sure you wear nice clothes." before leaving us.

"You're lucky. My granddaughter is so nice that make sure to protect her."

Grandpa stood up and he looked at me.

"I hope your date is fun. I'll wait for the good news."

The grandfather also left and just left me alone. I've also finished my food so it's better that I look for clothes for my date later in the day.

I put the money under the plate and left the store. Although I intend to buy clothes but I do not know what kind of clothes are suitable for dating.

I went to the store and maybe Verry could help me with this. I walked over and found Verry chatting with a girl in front of the store.

It seemed like they had finished chatting and Verry noticed myself looking at him from a distance.

"What's Reiki? You look confused."

"You know yeah? Actually..."

After I told Verry. He did not laugh but rather his face was as serious as having a big problem.

"I think I have some clothes in my room that might suit you."

Verry walked into the store and I followed him from behind.

"Who was that?"

"You mean that girl?"

I nodded.

"She's my wife."

I was really shocked. I can't believe Verry's got a family. I thought he was single like me.

"You must be surprised. Yeah ... I was able to marry her thanks to Zanir. He helped me who was shy near my wife."

Zanir likes to help people. People love it and respect it.

Verry is still busy looking for clothes that fit me but he still hasn't found them.

After a long time of ruffling his closet, he finally found it.

"Here we go! I think this is perfect for you."
