// Yukio's point of view:

We spent hours reviewing and questioning her tales of origin. Yui quietly reads the book and after a while, she will ask questions about the book. I summarized the pieces of the book so that she wouldn't need to read the whole book. Yui had absorbed the information she just got and she's now calm and settled.

"Are you sure, you don't have any questions left?" I confirmed.

She nodded. "I'm looking forward to hearing the other story you have, when is the next storytelling?" She joked.

"Pretty sure not this time, we'll probably continue it tomorrow," I answered.

"I guess I have to wait." Yui raised her shoulder up and smiled at me. I could feel that she really wants to know more about her past, especially what happened two years ago, but I'm still thinking about how I will tell Yui about that incident. Her bloodline is out and the next important thing to tell her might disappoint her.

"I should get going then, I have something to get from the store, I'll catch you later," Yui said after standing on her feet.

"I'll be right here, sleeping." I gave her a smile while waving goodbye to her.

My smile soon fades as she walks away.

I sighed.

I should sleep. I need to rest.

I walked all the way to my room and immediately lay on my bed as soon as I see it. My eyes were getting heavy, but my mind cannot rest, for the past kept on replaying in my mind, the past which is the incident two years ago, hunts me.

This has unlocked a memory that I wanted to bury forever.

// Flashback

two years ago

"I told you to stay hidden, can't you see that the demon is right after you?!" I scolded her, in the middle of defense near the entrance gate, there was a twenty feet-demon in front of us. With a demon this big, a rumor has spread that it was a demon king's familiar. And there could only be one demon king who will go against True Cross Academy.

As a part of the organization that protects the descendant of Lilith, a full force of exorcists joined our defense. But the majority of them don't know Lilith's descendant was already born and that is Yui.

"Yukio, I can help by penetrating it." Yui insisted to step back.

"How?" I frustratingly shouted.

"The sword, summon the sword, Yukio," Yui said calmly as her hair flew to the heavy winds passed us.

I'm aware of what her task is. I'm aware that she's been training her whole life just to be able to grab the Liliest sword. I want her to be able to fulfill her task. But.
