When Mika opened his eyes, he found himself floating high in the sky, with a city beneath his feet.
Mika wore a cloak with a cat-eared hood. He looked only eleven or twelve years old, but the indifferent expression on his face made him seem unapproachable.
He shook his head, realizing he had forgotten many things, such as where he was and who he was.
After a moment of daze, Mika descended into the city.
Looking at the various humans, Mika felt an inexplicable sense of annoyance.
"Hahahaha, Little Yu you lost!"
A not-so-loud voice reached Mika's ears.
Little Yu? A familiar name.
Mika followed the sound and arrived in front of an orphanage.
Looking at the five characters "Hyakuya Orphanage" at the entrance, Mika felt a sense of familiarity, but he just couldn't recall anything.
He phased through the wall into the orphanage. Along the way, there were many children who seemed unable to see Mika, letting him float past them. Mika passed through the ceiling to the second floor and immediately saw two little boys playing, one with blond hair and one with black hair. They appeared to be the oldest children present.
This, of course, was Mika and Yuichiro!
"How did you guess the coin was in my right hand? Let's play again!"
Little Yu was full of defiance, putting his hands behind his back, and soon extended both fists towards Little Mika.
"It's really hard to guess. Which hand should I choose?"
Little Mika said this, but his face was full of smiles.
Little Mika slowly moved his hand towards the left, and Little Yu's face immediately tensed up.
Then he slowly moved it to the right, and Little Yu relaxed completely.
Mika thought to himself, this black-haired child really wears his heart on his sleeve.
"I guess it's in the right hand!"
"Yay, I won! Mika, you guessed wrong!"
Little Mika didn't choose the correct left hand, and Little Yu cheered excitedly.
Little Mika just smiled, watching Little Yu's excited expression, not disheartened by losing the game.
Mika seemed to understand why Little Mika hadn't chosen the left hand. Little Yu's happy smile now made him a little stunned. Such a smile, he really hoped to see it forever.
"Since I don't know what I should do, I'll protect this smile."
...After Rig finished discussing the plan with the Progenitors, Luke and Krul left separately.
Luke planned to ask Rig about the last Seraph at another time.
Luke guided Krul's consciousness into the coffin through Kyle. Krul only felt her head spin, and when she opened her eyes, she was in a strange place.
"Is this it?"
Krul looked up at the clear sky and then surveyed her surroundings. It seemed to be a street in a human city, and she couldn't feel any difference from the real world.
"Lady Krul!"
At this moment, a figure materialized beside Krul and immediately knelt in salute upon seeing her.
Krul looked closely, somewhat surprised.
"You are... Kyle?"
Kyle nodded respectfully, stood up, and informed Krul of his situation.
"Luke was worried about you, so he sent me to protect you."
Krul finally processed the information and said casually.
"He never mentioned this to me. It seems he still needs a good lesson."
No matter what, Luke was now Kyle's master, so Kyle naturally had to make a few excuses for him.
"Lord Luke must have his own considerations."
Krul didn't want to bother with that. The immediate priority was to find her brother.
She searched around the streets but found nothing. Occasionally, she would see some humans moving on the road; everything was peaceful.
It seemed to be a time before the apocalypse.
To avoid alerting anyone, Krul didn't attack these people. They also seemed to have no reaction to her. Without the apocalypse, seeing two cosplayers on the street was normal, nothing to be surprised about.
"Hmm?"
Kyle suddenly let out a soft sound, attracting Krul's attention.
"Lady Krul, this should be Shibuya before the apocalypse."
Seeing Krul look at him, Kyle explained his discovery.
"Look over there."
Krul followed Kyle's finger and saw a white-haired child squatting by the roadside not far away, surrounded by kittens.
"Luke?!"
"Who? Who's calling me?"
Luke heard someone call him, stopped petting the cats, and turned to look around. He saw Krul and Kyle standing not far away, both with surprised expressions.
Luke stood up and pointed at himself curiously, asking.
"Are you calling me?"
Krul was stunned and asked, looking at Luke's puzzled expression.
"You don't know me?"
That shouldn't be. Even before the apocalypse, Luke already knew her when he was eight. The Luke in front of her looked to be eleven or twelve.
Kyle then whispered to Krul.
"Lord Luke said this is Mikael's fantasy world. Mika might not know that Lord Luke knew you before the apocalypse."
Krul thought that made a lot of sense. She hadn't expected such a realistic world to be merely Mika's fantasy, and still function normally. Could her brother handle a Demon King like this?
Luke was even more puzzled.
"Should I know you...?"
Suddenly, Luke clapped his hands, looking like he understood.
"There's only one truth! You must be from my school, right? That explains it. Everyone at our school knows a legend like me."
Then, without waiting for them to say anything, Luke familiarly approached them.
"By the way, your cosplay is amazing. Those pointed ears look so real."
Krul and Kyle exchanged glances and nodded at each other.
This annoying feeling, it's definitely Luke!
Luke stopped talking and carefully examined Krul and Kyle, seemingly trying to find flaws in their makeup and costumes.
Krul watched Luke with interest and asked curiously.
"What were you doing just now?"
"Petting cats, obviously."
Krul had heard Luke mention this phrase before. At that time, Luke, having nothing to do, kept muttering, "If I don't get some kittens to heal me, I'm going to die! Damn apocalypse! I want to pet cats!"
"Meow~"
The kittens, seeing the messenger of the Cat God suddenly attracted by these two people, also followed.
Krul hadn't seen a cat in who knows how long. She usually stayed underground, and after the apocalypse, these creatures were also on the verge of extinction. Krul, feeling novelty, crouched down.
She slowly extended her hand and placed it on a kitten's head. The kitten was about to dodge, but upon seeing Krul's eyes, it was instantly too scared to move, and Krul picked it up by the head.
"Hey, are you going to use the Nine Yin White Bone Claw?! Are you an idiot? Who pets a cat's head like that?"
Luke yelled angrily at Krul, while also squatting down and taking the kitten from Krul's hand.
Kyle frowned when he saw Krul being yelled at by the little brat Luke.
"How can you..."
"Say one more word and I'll scold you too!"
Then Luke personally taught the dazed Krul how to treat kittens. The kittens, initially scared, gradually lost their fear after being petted by Krul, and instead looked quite content.
You pet so comfortably, meow, you're a good person, meow~
Krul felt the touch on her hand and also felt an indescribable comfort in her heart. Alucard didn't give her this feeling.
"I want to ask you a question, may I?"
Luke said while watching Krul pet the cats.
"What?"
Luke looked serious, staring at Krul's face.
"What do you use? Why are you so naturally white? I wouldn't be this white even if I died for three days!"
