{I am lost in our rainbow

Now our rainbow has gone

Overcast by your shadow

As our worlds move on

In this shirt, I can be you

To be near you for a while

In this shirt, I can be you

To be near you for a while

There's a crane

Knocking down

All those things

That we were

I awake

In the night to hear the engines purr

There's a pain

It does ripple

Through my frame, makes me lame

There's a thorn in my side

It's the shame, it's the pride

Of you and me

Ever changing

Moving on now

Moving fast

And his touch

Must be wanted

Must become

Through your ask

But I need Jake to tell you

That I love you

It never rests

And I've bled every day now

For a year

For a year

I did send you a note

On the wind for to read

Our names there together

Must have fallen like a seed

To the depths of the soil

Buried deep in the ground

On the wind, I could hear you

Call my name, held the sounds

I am lost

I am lost, in our rainbow

Now our rainbow has gone

I am lost, in our rainbow

Now our rainbow has gone

I am lost

I am lost

I am lost

I am lost

I am lost}

The amount of books were so large enough to fill up a small Library, thankfully Marchioness helped them by putting all into one of her Dimensional Amulet.

There was still a lot of time for the start of academic year. Lith and Mikasa decided to start their experiments of new techniques.

Eren of parallel world has watched many animes in past. He was trying to reproduce many techniques. He had already replicated Shundō, Mana Rotation, Ki Awakening and finally able to manipulate 'Laws'.

{A/N: He didn't know system was helping him in integration. The talent was provided by system, which help him in increased his Proficiency in techniques.}

"So you're deciding to make new techniques!" Mikasa was also excited as she had watched many animes series which she also wanted replicating. The first thing she did after watching Naruto was to walk on water.

Well, she could easily use Kokū shundō to walk on such surfaces but she had also became an Otaku. Those 4 years of gap without developing any techniques and spells really made her lazy.

"Humph* you're thinking something rude about me!" She grumbled in his mind.

"Anyways I'm interested in curses." Lith said inwardly before showing Jujutsu Kaisen to Mikasa.

"Woauh!! Why did you hide this memory, Humph*. Eren I also want you to dye your hair silver!" She said inwardly nose bleeding?

"Mikasa what're you thinking hum? My mindscape has become red again." Lith asked genuinely as sometimes his mindscape would change colours because of her mood.

"Sniff* sniff* n-nothing, anyways this curse energy should also present in this world. As people in this world are too dependent on mana that they could develop anymore. The world would have history too of wars, tragedies or massacres.

Gathering natural curse energy would be difficult, first we have to control our own curse energy first. But how?" Mikasa replied while showing him a prediction.

"We could begin like this you should focus on sensing natural curse energy and I will try to awaken my curse energy or control it. Your sensing ability is more potent than mine. "

Lith said before trying to remember his moments of first world. The pain, the loss, the anger and unbridled rage.

But he didn't get any response. "Like I said it would take some time, but Eren I recommend not to use your past life as a fuel to pursue power. That was past, the parallel world you witnessed cooled it down.

But don't try to reopen those wounds, you have to let them go as you're not in that world anymore. Ahh!! I have watched so many animes but still can't give a damn speech!" Mikasa raged, Lith had to cool her down by showing her 'Miss Kobyashi's Dragon Maid' .

"Ahhh! I want a kid for myself! Kana-chan!" She kept yelling in his mindscape. Which forced him to watch 'Boku no Pico' to shut his brain off.

Next morning, Lith's house, Lutia.

"Otouto-kun!" Tista jumped at Lith before sniffing him from up to down as no one was watching.

"(Sniff* sniff* sniff* hah! hah! Some nice shiet!) Good morning Oni-chan, so where're you going?" She asked after wiping her drool.

"Tista I told you to stop your sniffing habit and wipe that... You're still drooling. I'm thinking about visit 'Garden of Babylon'. " He said remembering Mikasa wanted to name the sky as her territory. Which she decided to name it 'Garden of Babylon'.

"Oh, I can't help it, when I don't get provided with daily dose of Otoutonium." She said in very low voice but Lith was easily able to hear it.

"You know I can hear it right?" He sighed about her sister's antics. She has started acting quite touchy touchy after he got Lucky Pervert skill. He was caught up in many Law breaking accidents.

"~fufufu~ It's more fun, when you hear it wide and clear." She said while grinning.

"Well you coming or not? It would be very boring as Mikasa and me would experiment on new techniques." He asked before taking out some cereals before mixing with milk in a bowl. He started eating giving some spoonful to Tista too.

"Munch* munch* No it's alright. I like the scenario and spending time with otouto-kun" She said munching down. The real reason was, she waited for Lucky Pervert moments to push her brother down as collateral damage.🥴

"Hah! hah! hah! Let's go Lith, we have too many books to check." She said after activating breathing techniques.

Tista was so genius in hand-hand combat that she developed her breathing technique : Otouto Breathing Techniques.

She even demanded me to provide a sword. We went to Renka husband who made her a personal sword.

Lith also took notes from him, the basics of blacksmithing. He wanted to be enough skilled to handle the heat and shaping the metals.

Mikasa noted down every points as they would try practicing blacksmithing before than forgemastery.

After getting her personalised sword, she started taking lessons from me as she liked my swordsmanship. Like how can I use a twig as a sword or even fight her bare handed.

Which led her to develop unique techniques for her combat.

"Sigh* Ok, but don't try any mischief right? We already are using the sky as our playground." Lith sighed before reaching out his ring.

"Hmm* let's go. I wanna watch, what both of you gonna experiment." She said looking at Lith's face but her eyes were at the ring.

She was jealous. Mikasa always got to stay near her Otouto but she had to sleep in girl's room. Humph*

"Anyways what's with specialization are they jobs?" Tista asked while handing him the book.

"They're courses where you can get better at said speciality like Forgemastery, there you would get taught and graded on your performance which would lead you to perfect job related to said specialization.

There's Battle Mage where you would get spells related to dominate a battle...etc. At future these specialization would help you in posting and getting a salary.

But remember that taking many specialization wouldn't regard you as a genius it would only increase your workload. It wasn't enough to attain only courses and considered a specialist, one should possess consdirable talent in that field." Lith explained as he checked if the house was clean or not.

"Ohh, like Krishna Manohar, the God of Healing. He took only two specialization Healing and Battle Mage." She nodded sagely before drinking some Oat milk.*

"Yet Nana has only one specialization." She said remembering that she asked her about it earlier.

"Let's visit her first then we can go to our garden." Both of them wore normal clothes as wearing academy uniforms may bring ill intentions towards their family.

At Nana's office everyone showered them with praises and congratulations, which gave healer the time to talk with her former apprentices.

"Sorry to disappoint you 'Little Sprite' and 'Fairy Queen' ...." Lith name 'Little Imp' had promoted to 'Sprite' after he saved Lark household and Tista name for her beauty.

".....But I have only one specialization. Here's an advice. Life is unpredictable and many things you would need to survive which are not written in book." She blinked her eyes.

"You need to experience it yourselves." She said while holding both of them in a hug.

"It's hard to decide whether hidden specialization are just trap or boon. Nana's right we need experience. Just having previous world knowledge would not do. I have to feel it myself." Lith said inwardly.

"She doesn't want us to got sidetracked or baited by hidden classification. It's the same how process of awakening is perfectly hidden the knowledge of hidden specialization must be related to crown. We should be enough powerful to open that pandora box." Mikasa replied back with almost perfect theory.

Then they went to thier garden for experiments. It was very hard to feel curse energy as the concept was related to negative emotions.

Cursed energy is born from negative emotions such as grief and anger. As Mikasa had warned him not to use anger, they were forced to watch 'Your Lie in April' and 'Steins Gate'. { Lith shared his memories of previous life duh..}

After going through months of crying sessions, both Mikasa and Lith can now manipulate curse energy at a very limited range.

As the emotion 'grief' wasn't powerful as 'rage' or 'anger'. Still it was a start, both of them decided to use rage in emergency situations as it would bring them in berserk state.

The whole family was worried of Lith's state as everyday he come home while crying. They thought their son's love life wasn't good as Renka. But they took care of him these months as he would leave with Tista.

They used to spend a lot time with gatherings even going inside the woods for adventure. Which made the parents tear up in their eyes.

Lith also introduced Ryman, which scared the hell out of them. Tista was already acquainted with him as he would become her dummy for practice. {Bro's like a roller coaster giving people excitement then showing them fear.}

Ry was really scared of her smiles even refused to go near her. He still remembers the smile when she used him as punching bag, then healed him, then again beat him through and through.

"~Ara..... Ryman why didn't you greet me?" Tista said smiling while her eyes were closed.

"Eeeeek! Scourge help me!" Ryman hid behind Lith and was shaking shitless.

"Wha-what it could talk? Honey I'm tipsy or Lith's playing another prank on me?" Elina looked at Raaz and shaking his shoulders violently.

"Eli_ El_ Elina w-wait it hurts. Damn I get it now from whom did Tista inherited that Ox's strength. Sigh* Even I'm also surprised but after Lith introduced many wonders it seems lackluster though." Raaz replied remembering his son was so genius that he helped in making many crafts which later helped them financially and emotionally.

"So what's your name? And why you calling my kid a scourge?" Raaz asked as he could feel a sense of bonding towards Ryman. { Was it Dad senses? ( Ryman had many cubs he trained them and teached cubs to experience the life their selves.) }

"My name's Ryman. It was given by Scourge.." He pointed his nose towards Lith.

"..... and the Scourge was the previous title of King of West. After defeating him Lith got it's title." He said looking at Lith who was giving him a thumbs up for not telling there were 2 Byks. Which he replied with a nod.

Soon, the parents were able to familiarise with Ryman as he was also a father. Later they planned for a feast in which Ryman helped in bringing a magnificent deer by biting it's neck. The parents were still not acquainted with his wild antics though.

"So do you prefer raw, rare, medium rare, medium, medium well or well done?" Lith asked looking at all while he was preparing to cook.

They looked at him like he was a scholar bull shiting about his career.

After finishing the family dinner, they went back to sleep. As next day would be the day for both Tista and Lith as they will depart for academy.
