[So you finally call now?]

"Sorry, I was asleep Miss."

[You always say you're asleep but your status still says you are sleep-deprived.]

...

...

Wow, How the hell do I respond to that.

[Anyways, I made some friends, And-]

"Ahh, Congratulations miss."

I cut her off before she could even complete what she was saying.

[...and they invited me to watch the fireworks with them.]

"Congratulations Miss."

[And I want to go.]

"Well, have fun on your trip miss."

[...]

"Good-."

[You know I can't go anywhere outside without you correct?]

'But you've ranked up and could probably beat the bastard that is annoying you.'

Of course, I only said that in my mind.

As far as she knew, She had only told me that about the spatial bond she received as the quest reward.

Nothing else.

So, If I brought up her rank increase when we hadn't met after all that.

She would get suspicious.

Very Suspicious!

Sighing, I answered her.

"...At what time should I pick you up?"

[6:00 Pm sharp.]

What?

"But the fireworks start at midnight! What are we going to do for six hours?!"

[Explore and play with them.]

...

Are you a damn child?

[Is that okay with you? Mister Ungrateful Bodyguard?]

...

...

...

"...ok."

The call ended immediately after.

...

...

...

I now regretted calling her.

Not only did I get roasted twice, But my plans to avoid meeting her 'friends' also went down the drain.

Of course, these friends of hers were the other protagonists.

Although I don't know how they got so close to her nowadays.

They only got close when classes began.

Ahh damn it, The main story of the is changing already.

Fucking hell.

Although the change is nothing drastic, Why do I feel like I'm walking into a lion's den?

Well, The good thing is she didn't use the soul crystal to make me her slave right now, Although Suleras told me not to worry about that.

Still had my suspicions.

By the way, Why hadn't she even tried to use it?

Was it the rich pride? Well, it's better if she doesn't use it for me.

I just need her to use it once for the plan to succeed.

With all that thought.

I wanted to go back to sleep.

For some reason, I was feeling very lethargic.

Maybe my mind was still tired from the vision.

And so, Falling onto my bed.

I fell asleep.

***

In a dark void sat the same figure that had beaten the shit out of a supreme Dragon.

'It' or rather he was waiting.

Waiting to accumulate enough power to finally escape the grasp of the abyss.

Albeit only for a short period.

He had taken his preparations.

Before he falls again.

He too was tired of this constant cycle of torture.

And he desperately wanted it to end.

He desperately wanted to die.

This time, For good!

***

Time 5:54 Pm

The day the year ends and a new one begins.

Putting on a simple white Button shirt and Black pants.

I was all ready for whatever I was going to go through.

I already had a plan to survive

And that was Sleep!

I would sleep the entire time when we were all together waiting for the fireworks.

I will reduce the chances for us to talk!

Now that I was ready.

I went down one floor.

Thinking about the fireworks.

I wondered,

When was the last time I has seen fireworks?

No, The more appropriate question would be when was the last time I 'Enjoyed' seeing them?

Of course, I remembered.

It was one of the few good memories of James.

A memory of when I was a child.

Watching them from my bedroom window.

As the Bright white lights exploded into beautiful flowers and sparks.

As a child, I was completely fascinated by them.

But that was probably the only time I enjoyed them.

Knowing that A smile crept up. on my face.

But it disappeared as quickly as it came.

Stepping onto the floor. I knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while.

The door opened and she came out.

Wearing a black dress with her hair In a ponytail.

"...why are there still bags under your eyes?"

"Didn't get enough sleep."

I just replied to her half-heartedly.

Although even I admit this was getting worrisome.

I slept and only woke up at 12 o.clock today.

I slept for so long yet I still felt tired.

She just looked at me.

"...Is it that serious?"

"Hm? Oh no, I'm just waiting for you to open up a portal."

...

...

...

Well, I've been reduced to a damn mode of transportation.

And was it just me or was she talking too much?

She never even talked a lot in the despite being one of the protagonists.

She always had her guard up and rarely ever smiled. The only people she talked to frequently were the other female protagonists. And that was because they were friends since childhood!

Did having my life in her hands cause her to lower her guard that much?

Well, she just needed thought and she could end me.

Damn it I'm still salty over what those dragons who now refuse to talk did.

But I understood their actions now somewhat.

"Where should I open it to?"

"District D. I want to go explore there."

"Why not just wait at the roof of the mall?"

"You honestly want to wait six hours on the roof of the mall?"

...well I was just planning to sleep, to be honest, but!

Unlike before, I had a comeback!

"Miss, You were planning to wait till midnight to avoid a certain someone the first time we went to explore."

There was silence. She didn't respond for a while.

Hah, How does it feel when you're on the other hand of the insults huh?

"...You will understand if you had met him."

"Well, I haven't met him yet, but considering your reaction I would love to."

"Please don't. The moment he gets near 10 meters of me I want you to send him flying."

"That's not a problem, But have you tried to at least respond to his feelings?"

Although I knew how it went when she did. I just said it to annoy her to exact my revenge.

"You owe me a favor for saving your life, so do what you said when you were constantly knocking on the door of my floor."

Completely ignoring my question she changed the topic. Smirking at this obvious way to avoid talking about him, I then asked her.

"Are you referring to showing you around the shops because you were too afraid to go in?"

"Yes, And I wasn't afraid, Just nervous."

Yeah yeah sure, whatever you say.

Without wasting another second.

I opened a portal to District D.

Before stepping in, I said to her.

"Please don't say that I can teleport a secret."

I meant it.

In the , The protagonists used Gary's teleportation ability for nearly everything.

I did not want to get involved with them even further. And if I somehow did. I did not want to end up becoming their Mode of transport.

Not!

I could already imagine them turning towards me for an instant teleport.

I was in no way becoming their transport mule.

And I was not afraid to use force if needed!

"Why? It's convenient."

"It's because it's convenient that I can already imagine them pestering me so they can be the second person among humans to ever teleport!"

"Second?What about the first?"

"The first person to enter my portals except for me was you."

It was true, Although we both entered the very first portal I created. It was still an undeniable fact that She was the first human to ever enter a spatial portal made by a spatial awakened. As for me? I wasn't human.

"Oh? I was the first?"

"Yes."

After a slight pause, She answered again.

"Ok, I'll keep it a secret for as long as I can."

"Thank you, Miss."

"Don't call me that when we are with them.I want to keep your role a secret as well."

Why keep me as your bodyguard a Secret? Why go through the trouble?

Everyone here could find that out if they just asked their backers.

Although I was a little confused. I still obliged her request. She agreed to mine so I would agree to hers.

"Fine, So may we go in?"

I held out my hand for her to grab.

"Yes."

She answered and grabbed my hand.And then we both entered the portal.

Today was going to be hectic.And I was going to do my absolute best to keep a low profile, Although that would be impossible.

I just sincerely prayed that one of the protagonists would not be with them.

If she was there, Then my entire scheme would be useless.
