The Wind of My Life

04:50 AM

* getting up with eyes slowly opening and looking around

Ahhh… Who knew I would feel very comfortable on such a thin mattress. And I must have moved a lot because the pillow Raphaela got me is a long way away and my hair is all tousled. Worse than just Raphaela, who is all stretched out, looking like a boy in a crazy dream.

Well, I think I better get ready …

I end up getting up off the mat very slowly so as not to make any suspicious noise. I manage easily and end up opening the bedroom door to get out. As I leave the room, I turn around and see Jack preparing something in the kitchen. The fact that he wakes up early is not strange to us, but it is strange that Jack is wearing a different outfit than he usually wears, that tuxedo that makes him look like a royal butler.

- Good m… Oh my…

- Please, no comments. I just woke up and my head is still not processing properly.

- Okay, Medusa. You ask, lightning rod hair ~~

- Shut up, you idiot...

I start walking towards the kitchen table, while Jack ends up leaving behind the counter with a bottle of orange juice and a glass, and while I sit, he puts the juice in the glass and offers it to me. At that moment, I notice that he is wearing a white shirt with some cyan spiral details and a light shorts that goes up to his knee. Sometimes I forget that even though he is of a different race and has different age measurements, he is approximately close to Raphaela's age and has a similar body with those Asian boys who are singing and dancing in music videos that Raphaela sees from time to time.

- (picking up the glass with juice) Thanks, Jack ~~

- No problem, Hurricane Ellyn ~~ - He'll be kidding me until I shower ...

- Hey ... What are you preparing for?

- Ah ... Just a "gesture of goodwill" for Raphaela when she wakes up.

I get up a little and see two pans, one with bacon and the other with egg being fried.

- Let me guess ... You will ask for something from her, right?

- (Jack trying to disguise) What? Why would I do that? I would do this for a lot less, you know that? I just want her to start the day well.

* awkward silence

- (looking suspiciously) Yeaaaah…

- (Jack sighing) Alright… There.

Jack points to the living room table and I see the stamps he prepared, but next to it, I can see other stamps but with different writing. By the time I spent with Jack, I already know what this is about.

- These are communication and vision stamps, right?

- Yes. I decided to do it if something happens and we prepare to do something.

I just start to laugh quietly.

- What? It is not good to go unprepared. We always have to think about the possibilities.

- Jack, the problem is not to prepare beforehand, but think about it ... If we find someone who is using magic in this Cafeteria, we couldn't go there directly and help Raphaela. And about that… Do you really think that whoever is doing this is going to do something with Raphaela? Like, as far as I remember, Raphaela has a heavy left hook.

- When did she tell you about the hook?

- Secret ~~ - Approach without her neck warning and she will not be sorry.

…

- But back to the main subject ... I don't think I need to exaggerate, you know? There was nothing unusual or impossible for us to do about it. We get hit more with a cell phone than with magic.

- When I say that, Jack started looking at me crookedly, like he's curious.

- Ellyn, when did you become so sure that nothing can happen?

- Well ... since I realized you started to leave the balcony door open.

- (Jack looking at the balcony) Okay… But what does this have to do with it?

- I can even fool myself when I think I will predict something, but you are much more attentive than I am because of your natural instincts. In case, you would have left that window closed if there was a danger or something unusual going on. If it's open ... Well, everything is fine and calm for us.

At that moment, Jack just sighs and goes back to the kitchen to see Raphaela's breakfast. He tries to concentrate, but he looks taken aback by what I said.

- Do you think we're softening about everything?

- I just said something that a person very attentive to details would say. And you created different stamps than you would use to put in the Cafeteria in addition to those that would be used directly by Raphaela. Then no.

- Oh I see…

- So… What happened, Jack?

Jack was silent for a few seconds, the only noise being echoing the oil frying.

- Ellyn ... Do you think ... we are getting too attached to this world?

Unlike the usual, Jack seems a little emotionally dejected. Even his ears are a little lowered and that only happens when it's something that makes him very thoughtful.

- Jack… I…

I don't even know what to say to him. Honestly, I have an answer, but I don't think it will please him.

- (Jack laughing lightly) Why am I saying this, isn't it?

- Heeey ... What happened?

- Well, I remembered Freera and Iba. You know, when we ended up doing a mission together, we had a rule to always finish the mission quickly to better enjoy what the world we were going to have to offer, be it hunting a monster or meeting people. It was something of ours that always made us excited to always go on a mission.

- Yes, I remember when Iba made a bet with Freera to find out who could get that cold expression off Seiya's face. They ended up drawing and Seiya said that he couldn't get through what his powers prevented. Their faces were priceless.

- Yeah. Or when I accidentally took Luck's chest. I swore that I was going to die that day because of that hammer and Freera was still pissing Luck over it.

- (smirking) You know, I could have remembered anything but that.

- Those were good times for me.

After saying that, I realized what it was …

- You miss them, don't you?

- Hehe ~~ I can't hide it at all …

I know how it feels. Not that I like the crazy things of Cyko and Maggie or the eccentric crazes of Reddox or Shiro, but sometimes, just their presence made me feel welcome and calm about everything. The same applies to Jack with the team he is on. But I think this longing is not exactly because I miss those moments, but because somehow …

* remembering Sebastian when we met

These moments are being filled in another way. It is not about being attached to the world where we are, but to the bonds we create with the people who live in that world ...

- I see...

- Well, we can't have everything in life, can we? So the way is to live with it until the end.

I just smile lightly. And he is right …

- Discouragement, go out here. I need to cheer up! Poweeeeer!

It's just like him to do that ...

…

After a few minutes, I ended up drinking the juice and Jack still gave me a slice of bacon, to see if it was good. And it was. Joking aside, Jack is a very polite and kind boy to people, and even though he has his extravagances of not knowing what a personal limit is, he is one of the most organized Gachas and adaptable to any situation, since "employed" by a certain young woman to a great strategist. And that is a side that makes me like him. If it were any other Gacha in his place, I think they would have given up on all this and gone back to his world.

After eating, I went back to the room very slowly to get the clothes that Raphaela bought for me. I still can't believe that the pajamas she gave me yesterday fit me. For someone who doesn't have larges breasts, I highly suspect that this pajama is not Raphaela's. Kehehe...

I leave the room and go to the bathroom. When I get in, I end up taking off my pajamas, and I get undressed, looking at myself in the mirror.

* laughing lightly

I can't help laughing lightly when I see myself in a mirror. My father's divine blood ended up influencing my body, leaving me with that well-groomed skin, the greenish tone in my eyes and hair and a certain abundance in my most feminine regions, especially in my breasts, which always made a warrior or hero from Elementia interested in me or inviting me to date with them. My mom said I could only do this if I had a romantic interest in the person, but how did you do that when the first thing they looked at was my breasts ... How disgusting …

I sigh a little hard and go to the shower. After a few seconds, I start to bathe, applying soap all over my body and cleaning up any dirt that has on me because of Raphaela's room. It is even strange to make these products with the smell of some plant, because it would be very unpleasant if someone smelled and said "Ah, mint soap". But the fact that it is creamy makes me slightly pleased when I step over my body.

…

I think I'm going to ask Luni to start creating these things or bring these things to the Gachas.

I end up turning off the shower and start drying myself with a towel that Raphaela gave me. I dry my body and use some of my magic to dry my hair more easily, and using a hairbrush, I start to comb my hair lightly. It is even derogatory to have to use my magic to brush my hair, but to do what, right?

After a few minutes, I'm all dressed up, with the green sleeveless sweater, the skirt that goes up to my knee with the black shorts underneath that Sebastian gave me. Looking at it now ... I would feel more comfortable if I went with the clothes Sebastian gave me, but I don't know ... Would he be nervous if he saw me in those clothes? Not that I wanted him to praise me, but it would be interesting to see if he would react differently from his normal…

* remembering some moments with Sebastian

Wait a minute ... Sebastian ... doesn't react differently from that look? Like, I've seen him show some different reactions, but his look is always the same. Not because of the obvious logic that he doesn't have another look, but the way he looks doesn't look any different, at least, when he sees me. But if I do something different with him, will he change his look?

…

Enough, Ellyn! Don't be thinking about it! What was I going to do that to Sebastian for?

*silence

I think it's better to get out of here ...

I leave the bathroom and head towards the living room, where I see Raphaela leaving the room, with a lazy face that we always see when she wakes up to go to college. After leaving the room, she seems to look strange in the direction of the kitchen table and alternates her gaze to the table and the kitchen, where she can see that Jack is there because of some noise from pots. So, I decide to walk towards the room to see how it goes.

- Good morning, Ella ~~

- Ah… What's up, Eeeeeeeellyn ~~ - What a violent yawn.

I get close and see a glass dish with 10 more slices of bacon, some bread, butter and the thermos bottle from yesterday, which, due to the strong smell, must be the crappy coffee they drink.

- (Raphaela) Jack, what is all this for?

- (Jack) Good morning, Raphaela ~~ I hope you slept well. - I think a lot of teenage girls would love this?

- (Raphaela looking suspicious) Yes, I slept ... Jack, what the hell is that?

- (Jack) Well, as today is going to be a tough day, I thought it would be good to start the day on the right foot with an excellent breakfast, delivered by a nice gu…

* Raphaela looking crooked

- (Jack mervous) Eh ... Well ... Delivered to put you in a good mood. - Good, Jack.

- (Raphaela) Spare me that and pass the cup, hairball.

- (Jack) It hurt, Raphaela. Serious... - I agree with you, Jack.

05:15 AM

After a few minutes, I took two slices of bread and put bacon inside and went to sit on the sofa in the living room to check Jack's stamps, while Raphaela and Jack started eating, sitting at the kitchen table.

- (Raphaela) So, Ellyn ... What time will you be back?

- Well ... Sebastian's class ends around 3:30 pm, so I can get here at 4 pm.

- (Raphaela) Okay. Are the stamps ready, Jack?

- (Jack) Yes. The 10 tracking stamps and I made a few more stamps to create a communication between us. So let's be aware of what's going on and in case something happens.

- (Raphaela) Jack, I very much doubt that something will happen that will need your intervention.

- I said that, but you know ... He is worried about these things, so just accept it soon.

This time and miraculously …

- (Raphaela) I know it's a little bit exaggerated, but thanks for thinking about it. I wasn't going to be too comfortable with the idea of ​​having someone with magic in there who isn't you.

- (Jack speaking with his mouth full) Q-Can v-you r-repeat d-it n-again? My heart was filled with o-jo..

- (Raphaela) Jack, stop being disgusting and eat first.

Who knew Raphaela would praise Jack for his preparation. Even I was hopeful in my heart that she would treat him as someone worthy of respect, which will be difficult.

- And you, Raphaela?

- (Raphaela) I am going to university. It is not because you organize something that I need to stop my life for this. - There's a point.

- I understand. But what if ... you know ... the …

Before she could say anything, Raphaela just looked at me and made a very different face than I expected ... Instead of a hateful face ...

- (Raphaela) Ellyn, I'm going to try to take care of my little world, so rest assured ~~

Generally, Raphaela is frowning as if she would be angry at everything at any moment, and if it were because of the boy she calls David, she would look like she was going to kill someone ... but this is the first time I saw her give such a genuine and happy smile. I look at Jack quickly and notice that he is looking at Raphaela, and starts to smile.

- (Jack) I think something good has happened between you and I don't know. You two f…

- (Me and Raphaela) SHUT UP, JACK!

- (Jack speaking softly) Carai…

…

After a few minutes, Raphaela went back to the room, left immediately bringing a towel and some clothes that she uses to go to college and went to the bathroom where she has been for a while already. Even though it is very early, she prefers to go earlier because this way she takes the opportunity to be alone in the room where she studies in her scenic arts course. Considering the past few days, I think she needs a moment alone to clear up a few things in her head. Jack started to wash this breakfast coffee and was in a different mood, as if he was happy with something. So, not that a compliment was going to solve all these days of punishment for him, but I don't think that's why. Especially because if he thought like me, I think we will have a slight change in the house because of Raphaela.

- Hey, aren't you going soon? I know it doesn't take long for you to get there in Creast Fall, but you know… Make the most of your time with your darling ~~

- Jack. For. Just for a minute, leave me without yelling at you.

- (Jack looking suspicious) What? Without cursing or anything like that? Hmmmm…

- I'm just waiting for a quieter time to see him. And it's still early, I highly doubt he would wake up at this hour.

- He looks like he wakes up early and goes back to sleep every half hour. - I don't doubt it at all.

- (Raphaela) I think he does more than that ~~

We look to the side and see Raphaela very differently. She looks like she put some makeup on her face that hid their dark circles well. Her hair looks more shiny, her tanned skin looks a lot more striking, even more so with that white jacket with a red plaid shirt underneath, shorts that go up to her thighs, with long socks and long sneakers.

- (Raphaela looking disgusted) Look, I can understand Jack, but are you looking at me like that, Ellyn? I expected more from you ...

- (Ellyn) Hey! Don't compare me to this nutcase!

- (Jack) You must be very full of yourself to be belittling me so soon.

…

- (Raphaela) Anyway ... Ellyn, get close to 4 pm and confirm Sebastian's theory about that couple there, while I organize a way to draw a map for us to guide ourselves when we go to the Cafeteria. We will leave here at 6 pm and stay there until 10 pm to wait for something to happen, since there is no specific time. And we'll be more lucky if we see it.

- (expression of confidence) Alright~~

- (Jack) So ... I will amplify the efficiency of the seals to ensure that they have a greater reach and create the seals for communication.

- (Ellyn) Making the easy party, right?

- (Jack) Hey, this isn't ...

- (Ellyn) I'm kidding. Relax your tail, wolf.

- (Raphaela) So, everything is fine. I hope nothing bad happens today. I just want it to work and I will take your word for it.

You can see that very well. Even though I can't face her or be serious with her, she is really confident that it will work, so I won't ruin it and I'll beat her expectations.

...

After a few seconds, Raphaela and I left the apartment and were at the entrance to the stairs that lead to Raphaela's floor. Without saying anything, she just waved goodbye, gave a light laugh and walked down the street until she disappeared from my sight. I should talk to Sebastian to see how these cellphones are used to take a picture of those moments of Raphaela being a girl with me… Anyway… What am I…

* feeling a slight chill on the shore

- Huh?

I look around and see only a few people with some suits or gym clothes, I think that's the way they talk, walking down the street. How strange ... I don't like superstitions, but when a chill like that touches me ... It is a sign that something is going to happen ... And generally, I call this "the wind of change", but I hope that conveniently ... Maybe it will be good ... I think ...

*Sighing

Okay… Let's go on!

11:30 PM

* walking on an empty street

- Seriously did you get the number of those girls?

- Oh year. These girls who go to these parties are crazy to arrange a night of pleasure with a guy like me.

- It seems very confident of that.

- And when did a woman decline my invitation to **** all night?

- I think about 3 who threw a drink in your face or slapped you in the face.

- It doesn't always work, but I get more women than these spoiled riches.

- Haha ~~ You have to teach me that.

- Dude, just be a very interested guy and make her fall into hers that they end up accepting.

- Sometimes I doubt that you will get a more mature woman. Just that little girls will accept your tentatives?

- Doubt it, huh?

- Of course.

- So ... How about that one over there? She has a very nice body.

- Dude, her *** is well marked in her shorts. So ******* hot.

- Will it be her?

…

Damn it ... They're coming towards me ...

* feeling a hand touching my back

- Yo hot girl. Do you want to take a walk with me? I know some really cool parties to go to now.

- What a stupid arrival, bro.

- Damn it… Ahem… Anyway, are you up for it?

Impressive ... Even though they are so young, they are as stupid as useless men who are neither good to give me a decent pleasure, nor with jewelry or a night in bed. And yet they are so audacious that I wonder ... Is there someone who is not like that and can give me what I want?

- (?) I am not in the mood. Get off, you idiot!

- Hey! No…

- (holding his friend's arm) Stop it. She won't want to.

- These are the ones that are most interesting. Difficult, but when they let go, they are the ones that most benefit.

I hear it so obviously it makes me sick.

- Hey ... Come on. It's just a...

*placing my hand on the boy's face

- Hey ... What's up?

- (?) Ih…. What a bad person you are, huh.

- HUH? WHAT THE FUCK IS AND ...

For a moment, I feel that it will be strong enough to erase what was once a man's face. And then…

KA-BOOOOM!

My flames started to burn intensely in the face of this despicable being. I still hear a cry of pain and agony from that kid, but I can't hear anything but the sound of my flames. I look to the side and see the other boy lying on the floor, looking desperate and immobile, not knowing how to react. So I decided to approach him and ...

- I think you better not be as rotten as him.

I bring my hand close to the boy and he hits my hand and starts running, screaming very loudly. You know what ... Whether you are good or bad ... No one can know that ...

- (?) Ka ...

* gunshot noise

I look back and see that the boy's head has been blown off from left to right with what looks like a bullet from someone in that alley. In fact, I had seen a guy over there with a woman's purse, which apparently looks like it was stolen. I just went straight because I didn't think he was going to do anything, but ...

- ...What bad luck you have, boy ...
