It was warm.. comforting. And anyone who would dare to disturb this feeling, she'll curse them all their life even in death. The black cat snuggled further in the wolf's furry stomach after it yawn. 

the cat closes its eyes again, but as a voice bursts from inside the shop, "I'M LEAVING THIS PLACE!" followed by a feminine voice. a stomp and footsteps was also heard. the cat only opens its other eye while the wolf watches the boy, yawns then scratch its neck before going back to curl and sleeps.

After some time sleeping, you decided to go back to the girl stimuli then Fushi also did. it is about time to go back inside, when an idea pop up in your head. What if you turn into Izumi for one day? You just need a timing. 

You wanna see him too. Ever since he died, you keep thinking what to say if you encounter his sister, Azumi. What if she'll ask about her brother? if you say he died because of you, will she get mad at you? if only you didn't lower your guard that night, you could still fight that knockers. the knockers are after you and the stimuli you collected. (is it called knockers? that wood thing? im not sure but yeah that thing.)

It was now night and because Gugu leave the house, Fushi shoulders Gugu's chores like cooking and the girl was staying which is making you wish Gugu would come back. you even wish Gugu would come back when you all eat dinner Fushi cooked. you loved watching fushi work, but he should not cook. he still has many way to go. he can learn cooking, and maybe he could be one of the famous chef in the world, but for now, you all need Gugu. 

but it seems like fushi learned something without you knowing. 

did they fight?

"this is horrible." pyoran commented and you hate to admit but it really does. 

"there's no flavor." gramps also commented, chewing the food fushi made. 

"this isn't proper cooking, fushi." pyoran said as you nodded in agreement.

"don't worry, fushi. if you add salt, it'll taste alright." rean advice. 

wait... there is someone you knew that is for sure know how to cook. if you could remember their memories. Izumi.

———————

another day, another day you tasted fushi's cooking. you need to turn into Izumi without them being suspicious of him being you. maybe you could act that you're lost and then stay there for one day? but what if they ask where the girl they knew go? or you'll told them you need a break and be away for a short time? 

sneaking outside quietly, hoping no one was looking at your direction and they won't get suspicious with your absence. as you successfully exits, you run down the hill into the forest. 

sighing, you really wish you could tell them about it. you hide behind a tall tree before a purple flame burn your body and change it to a tall boy with black wavy hair and green eyes. the mole on his lower lips was more visible now that his face is clean. he also has a pale skin, is he a lost prince?

you scanned your new body, touching the face and hair. it feels weird now that your height was taller than the girl you used to. you feel like a tower.

shaking your head, height doesn't matter now. you need to search to his memories about cooking knowledge. the girl does have cooking memories, but she can't cook. just watching her mom cook. she tried to cook once and ended up being scolded by her parents when the kitchen was almost burned into ashes and since that day, she's banned going to the kitchen unless she's eating. she's even banned from touching a frying pan.

deciding to go back, you start searching his cooking memories. azumi said he's the one taking care of her and their parents. he's all around, cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, working and all house chores.

but you noticed something wrong, you can't find his memories. about cooking, his family, about azumi. the only memory he has was when he was being touched by the girl, the big predator that the girl's family owned and the animal who massacred the entire family with you controlling it as it became your stimuli. your collections.

izumi and the girl are not your collections though. you just got them accidentally.

as you walked back, the black hooded man made his appearance to you.

his deep voice startling you, "the failure."

glaring at him, "what do you want?" it feels weird with izumi's voice.

"you really think you can obtain all of your stimuli's memories? you're called failure for a reason. a failure we once made. you weren't supposed to be born in this world." he stated, walking around you slowly.

"what do you mean?" you spat in confusion, brows furrowed as your eyes were following his every move.

"oh you know what i mean."

"you can't get rid of me because of the thousands of stimuli i have despite being a failure you made. and you want me and fushi to fight so he can take my stimuli since he is the perfect form who can live forever. is that what you trying to do?"

"very well. you're smarter than i thought. guess humans taught you wonderfully. but that's not what i came for right now." he stopped behind you and reach his mouth to your ears, "you can't teach him anything. you shouldn't." as you turn to the man, he suddenly dissappear in the forest.

"because he's the perfect creation, and i'm the failure. i can't teach him anything?! he can learn things on his own, and i needed someone who can teach me?! hey, you have favoritism in your creation do you not?!" you yelled to absolutely no one. you sounded stupid there.

"everyone needs somebody to teach them how life works whether you are perfect or a failure. everyone know nothing after they are born in this world. they need to know how cruel yet beautiful the world is. you're no one to me, you hooded damn!"

"you're not the who created me."

you're just teaching him slowly though.
