Chapter 59

Gloomy people are easy to misunderstand if you socially talk to them .

Akuya Shinji is running away .

Thinking that Yato had cast a curse on him, he kept running in fear .

(Who’s that guy...)

It was a spell that made him believe that he will die if he approached Kamaishi .

Being under that spell, Akuya wanted to get away from Kamaishi as soon as possible .

Pushing away everyone on his path, he kept on running until he started sweating in an unusual way .

When he finally ran out of breath, he hide inside a small alley and leaned on a wall to take back his composure .

(I should be alright now . )

Adjusting his breath, Akuya’s loath towards Yato started sprouting in his heart .

(Just why did things turn out like this...!!)

Biting his lips, he punched the wall behind him for a few times .

Meeting Kamaishi at that time was nothing more than a coincidence .

He moved to this city with his parents only recently, so it was the first time he saw her in this place .

At that moment, Akuya felt extremely glad to the point where he wanted to brag about his fate .

That’s because he met his crush from middle school .

Akuya was originally a timid person .

No matter how much he tried, his classmates often mocked him for his gloomy looks .

Due to that, he never had someone he could call a friend and spent most of his time alone .

But that was still better than getting bullied .

Akuya believed that his situation was still not bad, until he met her .

“Um, you dropped this . ”

With a smiling face, Kamaishi gave back Akuya the handkerchief he dropped on his way .

Possibly at that time, all that he saw in Kamaishi was a gorgeous and divine light .

He never thought that there was someone who would talk to him gently like that .

Only with that small incident, everything had started for him .

Akuya started changing from that day on .

He wanted to become acquaintances with Kamaishi .

He wanted to be closer to her .

Making use of various opportunities, Akuya approached Kamaishi .

His feelings towards her became stronger day after the other .

However, one day, Kamaishi had suddenly moved and Akuya fell into the depths of despair .

(Right when I finally met her again!!)

Miraculously, he was able to meet her once again today .

He never felt this happy in his entire life .

He went directly to talk with her, but that hindrance didn’t let him do so .

(Because of him, Sayaka-chan is...!!)

Akuya’s expression changed to that of utmost loath .

Because of Yato, his Sayaka changed into a different person .

“I told you no! Stop following me!!”

Just by recalling what she said, he almost lost his reason .

He realized that he was rejected .

But he couldn’t accept that truth .

(It’s surely because of him!! He made her say those words . )

He thought that Yato forced Kamaishi to reject him beforehand .

And eventually, his thoughts turned into strong beliefs and his fear from Yato was overwhelmed by hatred .

“If only... only he wasn’t there . ”

Akuya muttered alone and remained developing his loath towards Yato .

“Phew... I was about to die there . ”

Gemra who escaped from Lina showed up from the other side of the alley .

Despite the hot weather, he was still wearing that black suit and antic mask which was enough for him to make Akuya notice his existence .

(who’s this guy?)

Forgetting his hate towards Yato for a moment, Akuya gazed at Germa who looked like a weirdo and then their eyes met .

“Oh my, you are...”

Instantly after their eyes met, Germa felt something odd coming from Akuya and decided to talk to him .

“I feel a good amount of hatred emanating from you . With such an amount, you could be an appropriate resting vessel for me . ”

Akuya didn’t understand what was Germa talking about .

But still, he wondered .

Why could he hear Germa’s words clearly resonating in his mind?

Not saying anything back, Germa continued .

“You, do you have a wish?”

“A wish?”

“I feel that your hatred is deriving from your desires . Is there something you want for yourself? Try telling me . ”

“No, what are you talking-”

“What would you do if I tell that I can grant that wish of yours?”

Akuya couldn’t let Germa’s last line slip away .

Usually, what Germa was saying should seem like nonsense, but at that time, Akuya didn’t feel that he was lying .

Akuya made his resolve and decided to talk about his wish, however, he recalled something before doing so .

He’s under a curse .

Even if his wish was to be granted, he will still die if he approached Kamaishi, thus, there was no meaning in his wish .

Recognizing that fact, Akuya stayed quiet again, though suddenly, Germa raised his voice seeming to have noticed something else .

“Hm? It seems you’re under the effect of some curse . Let’s see, I will dispel it for you . ”

Germa approached and pushed his index finger against Akuya’s forehead .

Following that move, Akuya shivered and felt almost as if he was struck by lightning .

“How are you feeling now?”

Listening to Germa’s question, he checked his body .

And then he started wondering why he believed Yato .

There’s no why a curse could exist .

Making sure that nothing ran in his body, he pondered for a few seconds and then talked to Germa .

“About the wish...”

“You can tell me what you want . ”

Hearing the mysterious words of Germa who seemed as if he was smiling under that mask, Akuya casted his eyes down, pondered for a while then looked back at Germa .

“I want Sayaka-chan!!”

“Is that all?”

“I want to... I want to kill the guy who changed Sayaka-chan with my own hands!!”

Pressed by Germa, he spat out all of his loath towards Yato .

Watching Akuya’s expressions brimming of hatred and desires, Germa’s started getting excited then spread his arms and said .

“Well then, let us grant your wish!”

Right when he spread his arms, Germa’s body suddenly turned into black smoke .

When he completely transformed into smoke, he wrapped up Akuya’s entire body .

“Uu...... uu...... Aah...”

Surrounded by that smoke, Akuya held his head while groaning and leaned on the wall .

He felt almost as if something was getting into his body . His head felt like it was getting consumed by something . It was an ominous feeling far away from that of pain .

“Aa... aaa......”

But abruptly, Akuya stopped groaning and lowered his arms .

“Fufufu, Haa-haha!! Success!!”

Germa’s voice went out from Akuya’s mouth .

His body that has been possessed started emanating a sinister aura and his gloomy face mixed up with an odd smile, making him look even more unapproachable .

“But still, as expected from this body . I feel I’m already used to it . At this rate, I think I can recover all my powers as well . ”

Checking all over Akuya’s body, Germa talked in a good mood .

“For now, let’s grant his wish as a way to get more accustomed to this vessel . I’m a tolerant god, after all . ”

With that, Germa disappeared in the gloomy side of the alley .

That was the moment that should have never existed . The moment when Akuya and Germa met each other .

Bonus

Licking each other’s wounds .

“How was your childhood like, Kamiya-kun?”

“Well, I used to play with kids my age at that time . ”

“As I thought . ”

“Yeah, but I don’t think they’d remember me if they happened to meet me again . ”

“Kamiya-kun, I will remember you no matter what . ”

“Thank you, Kamaishi-san . ”

Such a nice way to comfort each other .

TL note: so licking each other’s wounds means comforting each other about sorrowful things that happened to both parties, exactly like what Kamaishi and Yato were doing .
