1008 Words
“I am Calcifer.” He introduced himself.
Calcifer…he have a flying black hair and a deep eyeliner. In his neck, there's a thin white wire encircling and it ends attached to it is pearls.
He's dazzling but his face is dark.
“Calcifer, what are you doing here?” I don't feel good facing him, it's feels like his intimidating me or I'm just being judgemental.
Still, I don't want him being here.
“I’m here to check if the curse is already lifted.” The curse…couldn’t be that he is the one who cursed me?
“Are you the one who cursed me?” I asked.
“What? Are you blaming me? No, I'm not the one who curse you.”
“Then, why do you care if the curse is lifted?” if he's not the one who curse me then what is his reason for being here? I believe, this is the first time I see his face.
“So that, you can now start your training.”
“Training? What kind of training? And, why should I do that?”
“I believe I told you the reason.”
“No, you did not!”
“I did! I even brought your servant so that you can hear me!”
I don't remember any reason in his words and we just met, how could I forget something that he didn't told me! And, I don't have a servant!
“Fine…I will tell you again.” He gave up. He's kind of annoyed.
The nerve, I should be the one who is annoyed right now.
“You need to train to save the world.”
This, quote ‘Saving the world' again…this is the second time I've been told to save the world.
Wait.. Could it be?!
“Are you the guy from yesterday?” is he the guy that with Shoes?
“I didn't come here yesterday.” He said.
“You did…with Shoes.” Is he going to lie about it?
“Shoes?”
“I mean, with the blond old guy.”
“Blond…Yesterday…”he put his index finger in his chin like his thinking about it.
“Don’t you remember? You told me the same words, ‘Save the world.’” I said.
“Aha!” He exclaimed with a eureka gesture.
“Silly darling…it didn't happen yesterday. It was–“he cut off.
The kid came in from the door with a cart.
“We brought you some food. Thankfully, we have spare ingredients. Hmm…is something wrong?” he questioned.
I panic on how to explain whom I with, “This is…” I direct my attention again to the window where Calcifer is but he's not there anymore.
The kid still waiting for my answer, “Nothing.” I just answered.
“You sure?” He assured.
“Yes.”
“Maybe, she's scared because she saw a ghost.” The girl.
I startled.
I'm still not used to it when I hear the girl voice…out of nowhere, her voice pop out from the boy's body. It's really weird.
“Rem, stop with your nonsense.”
“I’m just playing around.”
“By the way, we haven't introduce to each other.” I forgot that we still don't know each other and I've been calling them kids in my mind.
“I am Romulus and my sister's name is Remus Demetrius. You can call us Rem and Rom.” Rom introduced.
“Why did you include me?! I was planning to introduce myself!” Rem cried.
“How cute, your names match to each other.” I compliment, “My name is –
“Stop!!”they cut me off.
“Why??”
“Stating your name is prohibited.” Huh? I didn't know there's such a rule!
“Anybody whom states your name, a great curse will be placed upon them.” They really hate me that much to prohibit to say my name!
“What’s so wrong about my name, it’s just a name?”
“I see…you remember your name but you still don't remember anything before you are cursed.” I remember everything…my past, my family and my life. So, what's this kids talking about?
“We will explain it to you without mentioning your name but first, eat this!” In the cart, there's a platter with a food cover, he opened it… and it’s a Corn soup.
Wow.. It’s look simple but appetizing.
“I figure that you cannot digest heavy meals since you just wake up that’s why I made you a soup.” Oh…how sweet of him to care such details.
I fixed my sit and face the food. Rom pushed the button to stop the hands from massaging me.
“Thank you for the food.”
I scoop in my spoon and put it in my mouth.
It’s creamy…and tingle in my mouth.
…
Rem POV
I'm hungry…
‘Keep it in, Rem.’ Rom said through Telepathy.
‘I’m drooling just by looking at her eat!’ if we only have enough ingredients…unfortunately, we don't!
‘The Witch is our first priority so it's only right for her to eat first and after we told her about her past…we will go home.’
‘Ah…I can't wait to go home.’
‘We will be after this…just keep it for a while.’
We haven't eaten since yesterday… I know Rom is hungry too because we have the same body but as what he said, the Witch is our priority.
“I'm done.”
…
Ester's POV
“I’m done.” I said then Rom put away the plate.
“Since you are now done…we will now explain to you, what really happened.”Rom.
“You better listen very well!”Rem.
Rem and Rom sat beside me with a serious face.
I kind of felt nervous, what will they tell me to have a serious face like that.
“First, let me tell you about this world…”
