《 2 - 10 》

《 Ramshackle Dorm - Bedroom 》

"Mmmmm...mnya nya...Didja see my super shoot...

'Grim's sleep-talking again...Good for him. I can barely sleep.'

I tossed and turn on the bed hoping I can get some shut eye, but I couldn't.

"Grim, I'm heading out for a bit okay...?" I tell him, it was a habit of mine to tell Grim where I was going...even though he was asleep.

《 Ramshackle Dorm 》

I head outside with my hoodie on, "Wow it's really chilly out here..." I take a seat down on the stone pavement.

"You know, it wouldn't be so bad if I was trapped here forever..." I chuckle getting lost in my own thoughts.

Then I hear rustling nearby. I instinctively reach out for my magical pen, but I had left it in the breast pocket of my uniform.

'Azuma you dumbass...'

"Hm...? Who are you?" A tall figure asked.

I turn to look at him, 'He's a student here...Diasomnia if I remember correctly.'

I lower down my guard a bit, "I was about to ask you the same thing.

He looks at me in amusement, "Well now this is a surprise, you are a child of man."

'I just noticed but this guy has horns...wow he's really tall.'

"Do you live here? This building has been abandoned for a long time. I'd been quite fond of it as a place I could be quietly left alone." He said, disappointment in his face.

"You didn't asnwer my question, who are you?" I ask again with a tone of curiousity this time.

"Who am I...? You truly do not know who I am?" He says wih a look of surprise in his face.

"I wouldn't have asked if I knew you..." i stated with a straight face, stating the obvious.

"Hmm...Is that so? That is exceedingly rare. What should I call you?" He asks with a sly smile.

"If you're not giving me your name, then I'm not gonna give mine." I reply with a smirk.

"That is fair. I have my own reasons for not telling you. It's best that you do not know. If you knew who I was, it would certainly leave a chilling impression. For your ignorance, as an exception, I'll allow you feel free to call me whatever you like. Though, you may come to regret that someday."

'Eh? This guy's so mysterious...'

"Hmph, nevertheless...Now that someone's been living here, this building isn't completely abandoned anymore. How unfortunate." He sighs.

He turns back to me, "I'll have to find another abandoned place for my nightly strolls. Well then, I bid you adieu."

He then disappears leaving green fireflies behind. Then I recognized...that those are the same green fireflies I saw nights ago...!

"Ah so you're the guy I saw!" I exclaim in realization.

It took me a while to notice that he was actually gone..."I guess I'll go back to bed now..."
