And everyone was shocked by hearing the name. I looked down while still standing and said, "So... I will be also aware of him and won't come in his eyes then. I won't be joining Academy, nor Eve will. It will be better."
Goddess of Beauty raised her hand and asked, "So you won't come in Academy? And having no attendance either?"
I looked at Goddess of Beauty and denied, "No, we won't care about attendance to be honest, but Eve and I will come in Academy like monthly, because he will get an idea that we are aware of him. And Eve also can't go everyday and she's my sister, so I will have the responsibility to take care of her as well. But let's see...I have planned till here only right now, you all can give suggestions and ideas if you have any."
Goddess of Beauty and Time were in a great shock, that their rival is all the time near them and they didn't recognize him either, but I looked at the sky and said, "But you could recognize him, Time, but he blocked you there again at the Academy where you can't even reach now because of the block, that was the reason why I couldn't talk or hear your voice there."
And everyone was more shocked, Eve was surprised and she looked at me and asked, "Really? That only I think, Time can recognize because he's in his God form, soul form. I am lucky that I didn't active myself there, then he would have recognized me...that's smart, he really blocked you Time."
And Goddess of Beauty and Time were more shocked...while Yuzui was looking down, grinding her teeth and becoming completely angry.
Time finally realized something, "So...he would be also in the South--"
"No, it can't be." But Goddess of Beauty was confused, she looked at Eve and me and said, "Then God of Time would have recognized Ichiro already when he came in the North, but he didn't recognize him."
And Yuzui while holding her anger, looking down and said, "That's Expectation Bias." And Eve and I were surprised, Eve smiled and patted on Yuzui's head and said, "Right, that's expectation bias, he had already accepted that the Ichiro in South is the God of Death and Destruction, and when the real one came, he would have never thought that Ichiro is someone else. You are right."
And Time and Goddess of Beauty were in a great shock, Yuzui tried to control her anger and became normal and asked, "Have you ever met that Ichiro, God of Time? But I have met him, and he never felt like...my Ichiro, he looked to be completely strange for me, someone I don't know. So I just left that place quickly, because I didn't...want to accept that he is Ichiro, I couldn't."
Eve and I smiled, looking at Yuzui and Time finally realized, "That's right...I could never go to him, I didn't meet him...when Emi and everyone took birth in their mother's womb, then at that moment only I was blocked and restricted to meet anyone...Emi wouldn't even have sense at that time, and magic can be only done...by Ichiro, or him...or me if I would be in a human form, but no one else would have that much power...now it makes sense...we all are cooked badly."
Eve and I laughed, "Cooked? We recognized it at the right time, we can now make plans after realizing everything. Don't worry, everything is fine till now."
And Yuzui looked at me and she seriously asked, "So what's your plan now, about him...Ichiro?" And I looked up at the sky again thinking, but Eve smiled and stopped all of us and said, "Hey, that's not the main topic for now, Ichiro would have planned everything or he will, but right now, our priority is to save and so called "kidnap" the two. Come out of the shocks and surprises and come on the main topic, it's our responsibility to save them, so let's talk about them for now."
But...Time and Goddess of Beauty suddenly laughed...they were thinking that everything is under control and going perfectly but there's a big problem and a loophole in everything, they were thinking that they were smart...but they laughed and accepted that there's no one as fool as they are. Yuzui looked at Goddess of Beauty and she also smiled.
"So, what's your plan now?" Goddess of Beauty took a bite and started chewing and looked at Eve who was also eating and pointed at her and asked, "And before that, at least tell me who they are and why it's so important to kidnap them?"
Eve chewed and her dinner was completed and she answered, "They are planning to eliminate the hearts of Nobela that they don't even reach to him." And everyone was confused about the hearts of Nobela, but suddenly Time's eyes widened...and he was now shocked, "...You mean...Nobela's disciples?"
And Goddess of Beauty was now even more shocked, "Wait...they were killed by him years ago, like when you were defeated just around that time...they are living here?"
Eve nodded her head, "They are living their lives here only, since they were defeated and sealed, like I was. But in some life they can remember that they are also Gods, and sometimes they live a normal life, but it doesn't matters actually. But I really believe that we should save them, they don't deserve to die...they were just kids who were learning from Nobela, they don't deserve that, and I am more concerned if our rival tries to steal their powers, it will be dangerous, so our motive is to save them and set them free, if they can remember their life of being God, and if they want to join then they can, otherwise they will be free to do anything. That's the main point."
But Yuzui had no context and I explained and told her the story of them. They were siblings, who were like Gods and were working under Nobela, like Nobela works for me when we were together, similarly Nobela had people who worked with him. But when the rival defeated God of Everything, they were the one to attack first at him but they weren't capable to defeat him and they were also eliminated, Nobela was angry and wanted to fight for them, but I stopped him...because Time and I both knew that it would be a waste of time to fight and eliminate him because we wouldn't be able to find God of Everything by that, and just for that reason we left him alive and remain silent until I got the command from God of Everything, from Eve, and once I knew, it ended and finally everyone realized...that why I sacrificed myself, I was ready for that anytime actually, never cared about my own life, but it was...what will I even get if I eliminated him, it would be useless if there's no profit in sacrificing yourself.
"You...are still like that...?" Yuzui said with tears coming in her eyes and I couldn't answer her question. Eve smiled with a sweat and apologized, "Um...I am really sorry...that he is like that, but if it would be Time, then he would also be the same...because they had only learned to fulfill the orders they get, I am sorry for that."
Time was surprised, but he denied, "...No, it would be Ichiro only, I can't afford to die, life is precious for me...but...for Ichiro..."
And everyone started sweating, even I started sweating, because we knew...Yuzui would cry a lot by that, she started weeping and I sighed-- and Eve threw a stone at my face so fast that I was pushed far and fell in the center of the lake, and everyone was shocked...and started sweating...
"If you have loved someone then at least take responsibility of her tears! If not then don't love!" Eve scolded, and Time and Beauty were speechless...and suddenly they started giggling, they started laughing gently, "It...was only Ichiro, who used to get scolding from our lord."
But Yuzui looked at the lake, I was breathing...but suddenly the bubbles stopped and she panicked and jumped in.
I was...beaten so bad, my cheeks had started swallowing and Yuzui was giving the first aid and others were still laughing. Eve smiled and said, "Anyways, what's your plan for that, Ichiro?"
But I smiled with a sweat, my mouth wasn't capable to speak anything...the stone made me not capale to speak anything and Time and Beauty laughed even more loudly and Eve smiled, she snapped her fingers and my mouth was healed and I finally looked at everyone and said, "I have an idea, Yuzui, and Goddess of Beauty will be there in the plan..but discuss between each other, who will take care of Eve, my plan will be executed at morning to the evening, you all think about Eve and I will explain you all my plan right now."
I explained and expressed whatever was in my mind related to the plan, and everyone got it. Yuzui, Goddess of Beauty and Time understood and Eve just smiled.
"If you all have any questions, or any objection to it, please say, my plan can have some flaws and there's also a very big risk in this, because he would realize it anyways, but this is my plan and think about it."
There was a risk, because the rival will feel suspicious from it for sure, but thinking about it...there's no other choice for others, it's only what they can do, there's no good plan in this, because each and every there will be the same risk. But everyone agreed, Beauty looked at me and said, "I will try to block him to feel our presence of past, if he ignored you, he still knows us, I will manage that. The plan is perfect." And Yuzui also agreed with it.
Time smiled and said, "But again, think about Ichiro's little sister as he said earlier."
And everyone looked at Eve, and she had slept on Beauty's laps and now it was the time to think about it for a while now.
Two weeks were almost going to pass, the magician had now completely turned into a mad person, he now wanted to kill himself right now...he didn't want to live anymore, he had completely lost his senses and mind, and tomorrow was his execution day, his pain would finally leave him. And Ichiro was standing in front of his bars and looking completely serious.
It was evening time, and Eve was surprised, "Big brother...we are going somewhere?" And, Eve and I weren't alone, Beauty and Yuzui were also with us on our new trip. I smiled by the question of Eve, and she suddenly started feeling dizzy somehow, and she fall asleep.
The night arrived, Eve was sleeping on a bed in an abandoned shelter...it was of mine and Eve, the old one and Yuzui and Beauty were surprised by seeing the little shelter and remembering the stories Eve told them and they all smiled. Beauty patted on Eve's head with a smile and said, "I will try my best to come to you as soon as I could, you just remain asleep until Yuzui and I come, ok? We will try our best to be quick and come as soon as we could."
I was out of my shelter looking at the sky, Yuzui was standing next to me...but we couldn't hear anything from Time, his voice was speechless, he was actually restricted to come in the south and from there only we couldn't hear his voice, but it is what it is, we couldn't help about it. And his work was just to keep an eye on the people of North, if he notices the similar restrictions notice or feeling which means that maybe the rival in the King's form or someone else's form would be coming closer and he will have to keep an record to understand the pattern of him and inform us.
It was the midnight, Beauty came out of the shelter, closed the door properly and Yuzui activated her protection zone, covering the area and securing Eve. The rival may know Beauty's power and feeling of it, but Yuzui's would be completely new for him and he couldn't sense it, because Yuzui hasn't used her magic from a long time, when the King wasn't possessed so he wouldn't recognize it, he may feel suspicious by it, but Yuzui and Beauty will have to be quick and complete their job as soon as they can and leave.
I looked at my team, and Yuzui smiled and hugged me and said, "Let's make it...thanks for making me a part of it...I am not a stranger for you anymore, you will tell me everything...right?"
