A Fool's Heart

Chapter 5: Golems

-SCENE-

Aaaah....Ravel....You have such nice Oppai...

[Partner]

Aaah...yes...you are growing just fine...

[Partner. Wake up.]

Mm...they are so soft.....

[Out of all things why must it be a dream like this that I cannot pull you from?]

(A/n: I Don't know Ddraig, Why can't you?)

......C...Can I poke theeeem?!...

[Partner!]

"Aah!"

What the-?! AW! Ddraig! What the Hell?! Why'd you wake me up?!

[Your dreams are night terrors for me.]

Then just go to sleep yourself you overgrown lizard bastard!

[I will. It is no longer your time to sleep after all.]

Huh? I looked to one of the digital clocks to the side of my luxurious bed and saw the time. Oh, it's 8AM. It's early. Time in the Underworld is a bit different compared to the human world since there's not really a sun or anything. But most Devils follow human world time because a majority of the population is Reincarnated. This facility never really sleeps though. There's always scientists and researchers working around the clock. Actually, I'm pretty sure a lot of these guys don't even sleep....

Anyway, I guess I should get up. I usually get up to train early. But I'll have to eat and do only some light workouts if Sensei is gonna be sending me somewhere again. The other day was....terrible.

Just the other day I got unbelievably messed up by a Lernean Hydra. A Hydra I didn't ask for by the way! I asked for a small Hydra, on land, that I've seen before! Not a damn sea monster! But I honestly don't know what I was expecting. No wait, I do know what I was expecting, I just didn't fucking get it. I got something worse. If it wasn't for Ravel I may have had to lose one of my legs or carried some brutal scars for the rest of my life.....I wouldn't have liked to have a robotic limb like Sensei.

I can't do things like that anymore. If Ravel didn't have those Phoenix tears that damage would've been permanent.....You know, even though it hurt to receive all that damage, it somehow hurt even worse to have Ravel yell at me and tell me that she would no longer support me.....

I mean...she did end up taking it back and saying she would support me no matter what...But that hurt even worse. If I had known that she would react so negatively then I wouldn't have been so reckless. I didn't know that it would hurt her so much. At least not to the point of crying discreetly in my arms....I guess what happened to me really scared her huh.

The fact that that makes me happy.....As I thought, I'm a scumbag..

But I have to be careful from now on. At least, if not for myself, then for Ravel. I don't want to put her in such a state. Especially for m....

......That's not it. I have to cut that out. It's just like Serafall-sama said. It's not that Ravel is just kind hearted, even though she is. Ravel cares about me. A lot. I don't know how much, but possibly more than just a friend. And I also care about her very much. She's not just a comrade to me....She's....so much more....I don't really know how to put it, but I've never really felt so close to someone. Not since Bu...

Anyway, I should get up.

Knock knock.

Hm? Someone's knocking? I haven't even woken up yet as far as anyone else is concerned, right?
