Chapter 4: Act 2

It's been almost a year since i last updated this book, i still play the game and still in the Fandom don't worry yall. I got intense writers block.

I might consider changing aspects of the story, but it will change or stay, at the moment author here is currently finalizing the entire storyline since I uploaded this at November 2023. Diasomnia book just got released in Eng version. So I'm tryna modify the whole plot of this fanfic

Anyway this chapter is just short with only 1k words, the next chapter is gonna continue the entire scarabia saga of Jamil getting exposed whatsoever

Chapter 4, Act 2: Prelude to Scarabia

"So you're telling me that...when you became himegemi people didn't see you and you only worked behind closed doors?" Grim's eyebrow quirked

"I always wear a mask when I'm out of the Tenshukaku or my house to be exact. Even in paintings and photos when my brother was the shogun. I only show my face to people i see as trustworthy" you hummed drinking tea

"Then how did you do that part time job of yours? It makes no sense!"

Your lips tugged into a smile "I come out in a different identity. When I'm out and have no mask, i'm gatekeeping myself. Living with the commonfolk and the citizens and having a normal life...is what i wanted after all"

Grim stared at you in disbelief "When they ask my name, I never told them my family name to make sure i don't get exposed. They say my name is a coincidence for having the same one as the himegemi, oh the urge to tell them.."

While Grim was lost in thought, he can't help but remember the thing you said "I might've lost my magic, but that doesn't mean my abilities are gone" and now he is curious

"Hey so uh...you told me you have abilities that doesn't need magic, can you tell and show me?"

You grinned "Curiosity kills the cat, Grim. If i were you i wouldn't ask the abilities of a reaper" He pouted "Don't go scaring me like that you know"

Humming, you paused thinking about it, Grim waited for an answer. And so you stood up "Huh...?" the cat mumbled watching you grab a black blindfold and.....

Holy water.

Grim doesn't know what the heck you are doing as you ignore his questions on why you are doing this all of a sudden.

On a small tea cup you placed the holy water, and with a tiny needle. You pricked your own finger, with one tiny drop of blood the holy water had a crimson hue

The small wound was healed easily and you walked over to where Grim was.

"Here, wear this"

He was flabbergasted, wear a blindfold "You wanted to know right?" He hesitated at first but his curiosity tickled him like a feather

So he nodded and you tied the black blindfold over his eyes, making sure it wasn't too tight.

"Open up..."

He tried to take a peek of what it was but you stopped him "Ah-ah-ah, this is your typical water" That was a lie.

The liquid didn't have any...flavor at all. Sure blood has an iron-ish taste but the holy water was able to surpass it. He gulped it down easily.

"Now tell me Grim, for this to work you must tell me the recent student who bullied you while i was gone"

"Really? Well one of his friends said his full name for a club thing last week. I think it was...Jake Jacobs (random ass npc name). I think he was a third year, I don't know who his classmates were but i saw he had a scarabia armband on"
