Yuika and Me

"I am...zorry~"

Hiii!

What is this!?

This guilty, anxious feeling I am having.

It's scary.

I didn't dare to look up, my tears can't stop flowing...but onee-chan said not to cling to her.

"Wait, little Yuika. I am not angry okay? Stop crying okay? I am sorry for scaring y--"

"HALT!"

*Flinch

Please don't shout out loud~ I am scared.

Please don't hit me, I will be obedient, I will not be in your way...I am sorry.

"You...Who are you!? What did you do to our little Yuika!? "

"Little Yuika, don't be scared, uncle guard is here to protect you."

"Wait, I didn't do anything! I feel sorry too, but at least let's stop Little Yuika's crying first."

"...I am the night patrol guard for tonight, you better follow us for questioning. Little Yuika, it's me uncle Jho---."

I don't know what the adults talking about, but I didn't dare to hear it, don't want to be caught, please leave me alone.

How many times does it? I don't want it to happen again because it's scary.

"...hic hic"

"...she is trembling...You, are you sure you didn't do something?"

"This---little Yuika"

There seem to be a lot of people.

No, I feel like their stare is hurting.

I don't want to be here...a place where no one is around...where?

"Wait, don't run away while closing your eyes!"

*Plop

Ugheh!

My body is too weak. I forgot that, and fall again.

"Yuika? Little Yuika!?? Why is your face so pale?"

"Don's shout at her, uncle guard! It's because I scold her before that...anyway, little Yuika, are you okay? I am not angry okay? It is me your onee-chan, alright?"

No, it's not alright.

That jolt from falling woke me up from the turmuous feeling I am having just now.

Now I know what kind of situation I am in right now.

(3rd POV)

Inside a guard station where simple necessities such as a chair, table, a fireplace, and a kettle available were 4 patrol guards and one young girl with long black straight hair with quite expensive equipment set was now surrounding one lone little girl who sits in the chair.

The little girl looks very lovely with her long ponytail wavy hair that reaches her waist behind her petite body and those blue jewel eye that could captivate adults with a look.

Unfortunately, that still pure and big eyes now moist with her crystal-like tears, making even the captain with the most fearsome bearing soften with worry.

She is trembling, curled down while not even daring to look in their eyes people who actually concerned.

After glancing toward each other, the girl with black long-haired that claimed to be the little girl's, Yuika's sister, and the patrol guard captain that claim to be her uncle decide to wait and didn't dare to force her to talk lest it makes her more scared.

'I just want to reprimand her a bit so that she knows what is wrong but how came it end up this way?' thought the girl.

Her name is Azusa.

Along with her best friend Rita, they both become attached to the little girl they know in the middle of the town of the beginning named Yuika.

The way she tried to look composed but still innocent enough to show her feeling make her very cute and adorable, especially with her abnormal beauty despite her age.

After looking after her for an hour or more, they start to get even more attached to her and confident to call themselves her big sister.

'But, she is crying this much, and yet I don't know anything at all. What kind of sister I am!? No, with that meager time we spent together, of course, it was not enough to call me one. I am such an idiot!'

"...Little Yuika, can you---I didn't ang---you are a good girl, not a bad girl. It's me who is in the wrong alright?"

Feeling very guilty, she now didn't even dare to call herself Yuika's big sister anymore and just want to make the little cute girl who is happily playing just to not be sad anymore.

On the other, the captain guard feels messed up right now.

'What kind of kind uncle I am!? A little girl crying right now and I can't even calm her down. Am I actually that useless!?'

The fact that he is called kind and gentle might be the happiest thing he heard all day so it stuck to him for a while and took a hit now that it seems to be untrue.

While both of them look perplexed and worried, the little girl in question is actually even more troubled.

'...I can't stop crying. Even though I tried to calm myself, any kind of negative thought still flowed continuously without control. It's as if it was not my body and I am truly scared just now. It's not even the matter of my mouth opening on its own. A bug. This must be a terrible bug.'

*Ding

Hearing a weird notification all of sudden, Yuika's body flinched a little. That kind of gesture was caught by two troubled adults. But they both didn't dare to question her so they could only repeatedly convince the pitiful little girl to log out and take a nap in real life at which Yuika comply obediently.

After logging out, the time was still in the midnight past a little.

With a blank stare, Yudi then gets out of the capsule, opens the recording video, and then watches the footage in silence.

She is trembling greatly, with a pale face and shaken eyes, she then crouched before dashing as if running from something so scary before falling down pitifuly.

The way she keeps silent not saying a word and still hiccuping despite that show how sad and anxious she is yet still stubborn not to cause trouble.

Ending the footage, Yudi then replayed in again from the beginning, watching it with that blank stare as if possessed.

After 1 hour passed, the light finally reflected on his eyes as a realization appeared on his mind.

"...So that's how it is"

Letting out a loud sigh, he can't help but remember a memory that he tried to forget and now rushing in as if a replay.

"...That's how I am in the past"

After sleeping late and waking up earlier, I then start to prepare a simple breakfast after taking a bath.

The memory that is still vivid in my mind keeps surfacing, making me frown.

Yuika, Yuika

You are a little adorable and an innocent girl born from my selfishness and coincidence.

No matter how you act and feel, that is but a mere computation derived from my control and personality.

You can be erased from existence as easy as I willed it, and could become a completely different person as much as I want it.

But, our fate is already connected now I start to realize that some of your behavior is not as confusing as it seems.

"Ohh, son. You already up? Do you really need to go to the university this early?"

"...Ahh, I like the morning air so..."

That's why, even though I am a little scared, let's get to know each other a little more.
