"What are you doing?"

I asked her, she was laying on her bed, her body was fully covered with the bed's blanket. her right arm was covered as well while her left arm held an object, it was very mysterious for me, a dome shaped head and a long thin body with a wire on its end.

"Singing?" she was hiding something from me, I don't know what thing she is holding but it drew into my attention.

"What is singing?" I whispered to myself, I don't know what word is singing, is this a way of having a ballad? or a cry? I know I'm not from this time or era but everything here is so unique.

" here. " she murmured as she crawled out of her bed, I felt the cold chills into the air as she left her blanket, I realised I was in a cold room. She stares at me as she gives me the thing, my curiosity wants to grab and try singing but instincts keep telling me not to.

"Alright." I cheered as I grabbed the thing, I felt the body's metallic and stiff materials, rich in iron and fiber. She pressed something from the thing and a loud beep echoed in her small room, it nearly made me deaf, I still hear that beep from my ear as I look into the thing.

" Okay? " I said the thing, I heard my voice but it was louder than my usual one, I jumped in fear nearly dropping the thing but Kagura managed to catch it before it fell on the floor.

I cowardly looked at the thing as Kagura began laughing, she pressed on the thing once more but this time, the sound decreased, I still hear the beep in the room just slowly becoming quiet and soft.

"Here, try it now." She gave it to me one more time, she took out something from her bed, a long black object, it was very thin but there were gray circles in it, there were alot of those. She pressed on something as her television opened, a colorful image appeared from the screen, a beautiful sunset, with palm trees swaying as the sun fell to the horizon, the waves hitting the shore to give some vibrance and words began to appear from the sand.

"Okay…" I breathed in and talked one more time about the thing.

After having that wonderful time with Kagura, I left and went outside, it was already morning. I haven't slept for a long time but it bothers me the most that I feel more active at night than the entire day.

I went back to our room, turned and knob and entered. I want to fall down and sleep but instead, I was greeted by Heather, with her hands on her waist and anger in her eyes, like what happened yesterday.

"What is it now?" I groaned as I approached Heather.

" Do you know how irritating your voice is? " She growled, I admit I have the worst voice but you cannot blame me, I never tried this singing in my entire life, just stupid debates about morals and beating someone to death.

"Say, Why do people sing?" I was curious why, I see no enjoyment in singing, it was just a ballad to probably do in your free time.

"It's how the 21st century works. People nowadays play Video Games, Sing, Dance and probably do those awful tiktok dances. " she explained.

"While you romans prefer I don't know, seeing someone getting eaten alive? You guys are savages! " She turned away as I sat on the floor, I realised this floor is so soft and very comfy to sit in, pretty enjoying my opinion.

"Well, the cheer and the screams of people who get killed can make someone's blood rush while this century is just being lazy and alone." I argued, it's been a very long time I debated, let see if my skills will work on this Angel.

" If I were a millennial, I would just say OKAY ROMAN. You cannot tell people nowadays to watch people getting killed, many would think you're a sick dimented being. " She argued back, the feeling of this debate made me remember who I was back in the old days, debate with others to impress girls and beat someone to death.

"Also, SHUT UP WITH BEATING SOMEONE TO DEATH!!" She swiftly kicked me, I wasn't expecting her legs to be stronger than before, I flew back to the door with my head supporting my heavy body.

"Ouch…"

It was already night time, Heather and I went back to the place where we would meet Tachibana. It was a cold place, the lights from the poles shone on the court while we were standing to one of the seats.

"Why did the heavens bring me back to life and live again?" I asked, I was curious and I wanted to know, for out of the people who died during Augustus, why me.

"We saw potential in you, balanced morals, wise enough to understand mathematics and philosophy and a very charming personality." She explained, I quickly rose my finger after saying charming, I do admit I'm handsome and it should be at my name, Troy the Handsome-

" SHUT UP YOU ROMAN" She kicked me one more time, I fell to the ground, hitting my face and legs, I felt the pain in my knees and it hurts so much.

"sorry…" I heard her sigh, while my head was laying on the ground, I felt something stomp beside me then I felt my knees were cursed. I stood up just to see her with disappointment.

"What do we have here?" said by another voice, we began looking around where it came from, that voice is very familiar. Could it be?

"Greetings Troy and Heather, long time no see." a figure slowly descends from the skies, her crimson wings flap very slowly as she descends, it was Ayame.

"Alright a BATTLE THEN!!!" Heather jumped in front of me as golden flames appeared from the seats we sat on, it slowly levitated from the ground while Ayame began snickering.

"Two can play that game!" Seats from the other side of the coat began to burn in flames as it went near to Ayame, they reformed into Nails, sharp and metallic nails.

" GAAAH TROY YOU TAKE CARE OF IT!!! YOU'RE A ROMAN RIGHT, DO IT!!!! " She ran behind me as the seats she levitated fell down back to the ground where she used to stand on.

"Ughh aren't you an angel?" I wanted to mock her but I was curious on why a sentient being is afraid of such a small harmless object.

"I'll explain it later! Just do it!" She was twitching her arms as she pointed at Ayame as she gave me a seducing smile, I clenched my fist and stepped forward.

"Ho? Let's see how a roman can battle me." She smiled at me. I breathed in and looked at her.

" You see this arm Heather? " I touched my right arm as she nodded. My hands began to glow with yellowish flames.

"You see these feet?" I touched my legs, she nodded again. I look back at Ayame, who was smirking at me.

" What are you going to do then? " Ayame smirked, I gulped and stared at her in the eye.

"TOO RUN AWAY!!!"

" EH?! "
