This afternoon I walked home alone accompanied by the orange glow of the sun that was about to rest. My heart is pounding with time. Tonight is the only night I've ever had in my entire life.
I never expected anything to happen the night before in my life. Tonight I will confirm the truth Yume said. Today many coincidences led me to head to the river that I don't know what it's called.
I don't know why I felt so sleepy this afternoon. My eyes are heavy and always close. I tried to survive this drowsiness and I finally got home.
"Met come with brother!!" Hanabi greeted me with her smile after I opened the door and entered the house.
"Ano ... big brother wants to go to sleep right away? ... sleepy," I said then immediately up the stairs and into my room.
Bruk!!!
I dropped my body on the bed after taking off my backpack. My body feels very tired, even though I only undergo activities as usual. My eyes slowly closed on their own. And I could feel my consciousness begin to decline.
And a while later I opened my eyes and was already in the same endless white room as my dream yesterday.
"Kaito? .. are you ready?" Yume's voice sounded echoing.
"Ano .. is it true that tonight's incident is near the river?" I asked as I looked in all directions looking for where Yume was.
"Yes .. prepare to face your first demon!"
I instantly woke up from my sleep and I could see the darkness had already taken over the sky. I stood up and stepped to the window and saw the brightly shining crescent moon.
"Sickle moon?" I muttered considering the script of Ai's novel that I read this afternoon.
I came out of the room, as I was about to pass through the dining room, I saw a plate of sandwiches on the table. It must have been Hanabi's, she must have prepared the sandwich because I didn't have dinner with her today.
"Sorry ... Hanabi," I ate the sandwich with remorse in my heart. Hanabi must be lonely from having dinner alone.
A few moments later I stepped out of the house and immediately walked towards the river near the hospital. I stepped alone under a star-filled night sky that looked so beautiful and gave it tranquility.
On this lonely night who would have thought I would meet a demon. I'm prepared for all the possibilities that could have happened today. I might die, no way, I still have Hanabi in my life.
The sound of rushing water started to sound. The sound of trees blowing in the wind tonight added to my tension. I stepped alone in the darkness into a river I hadn't been to in a long time.
I stopped my steps when I saw the little boy standing facing the stream. He still wears his Junior High School uniform and still carries his backpack. Why would a Junior High boy go to a night river like this.
His black hair was blown by the wind. I could see her clenched hand firmly as if holding back her emotions that wanted to overflow.
"Ano .. What are you doing?" I asked while preparing for the unexpected.
"Oo .. Whose sister is it?"
The boy looked over and made my eyes wide open. The edges of his eyeballs that should be white turned black. His eyes are bright red. And strangely again it was like there was a crack appearing on his face.
What kind of a human whose face could crack like that?!
"Why are you alone here?" I dared myself to ask him.
"It's none of your business, is it?" His flat face made him look even more creepy.
At the same time his clenched hand let out a fire. So he caused the forest fire last night. Little by little the long sleeves of his uniform started to burn. Fire covered him from his shoulders to his palms.
"Will you play with me?" Ask her with a big smile.
"Hm ..."
I don't know his strength yet, but it looks like he can spout fire at me. Now I have to find shelter first before I go any further.
Since my right and left side are trees, it seems like I can use that as a shelter.
"Daddy!!!. There is no place to escape the human base!" The boy's voice turned into a creepy old man's voice.
At the same time the boy's head began to be enveloped in a burning fire. It seemed like the demons had already taken control of the boy's body. This is called the curse of the devil.
