Multi-colored leaves are being blown around by the wind on a sweet spring morning
A red haired NOT GINGER, but blood red haired boy wearing a school uniform wearing pink e-girl headphones is walking down the street.
The imaginary camera pans down to his feet as his right untied shoe steps on a green concrete tile surrounded by other multi-colored concrete tiles.
The concrete tiles change colors with each step that the red haired boy takes—matching with the piano beat that the boy is listening to on his headphones.
The imaginary camera pans up to his face once again focusing on his bright purple eyes.
"My name is Raouf Azehara van Astralynn, I am a human.. which is honestly boring since the author was originally gonna make me human then an elf, since he just watched Frieren: beyond journey's end—or he could've made me a vampire that would've been cooler".
He scratches his head "Today is March 21st 125 of the new calendar—it's the day that I become a 2nd year at Monochrome Rainbow High-school".
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn sighs.
"Knowing I could've been Raouf-shot Acela-orion heart-under-blade would've been better than Raouf Azehara van Astralynn..--
Hold on."
Just then a bright idea came unto his mind— Raouf Azehara van Astralynn's curiosity became strong—as he had never thought about this before.
How many syllables are in my name?
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn starts counting the syllables with his fingers starting from his right hand.
RA - 1
OU - 2
F - 3
A - 4
ZE - 5
HA - 6
RA - 7
VAN - 8
AS - 9
TRA - 10
LYNN - 11
"WHAT THE HELL !!! 11 SYLLABLES!!"
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn puts on an exaggerated face reminiscent of Enel from one piece.
.
.
"Well anyways back to what I was saying earlier my name Raouf Azehara van Astralynn conveys a deep meaning I mean it perfectly conveys my character—you'll get what I mean as the poorly written story progresses."
**********************************
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn is still walking his way to school until he suddenly sees a blonde little girl in a kindergarten outfit crying.
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn being the altruistic man he is, decides to help and comfort the crying child.
He first takes a deep breath—and then takes a step forward with his left leg first then his right.
He gets near the little girl and crouches—and in the most shady and untrustable way utters: "Hey Ojou-Cha-".
Suddenly our lovely protagonist with a pure white heart gets sent flying—with a heavy gust of wind almost like a leave of a palm tree.
The coconuts of the palm tree had hit a pole.
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn lets out a girly scream: "HOW WILL I GOON?!!!".
The imaginary camera pans slowly from the yamcha-posed Raouf— to a golden haired girl with emerald eyes wearing a school uniform with the same logo as Raouf's uniform-- holding a big green paper fan.
Raouf looks at the gorgeous blonde beauty as he is on the ground with his arms holding his precious coconuts.
He thinks to himself: "HOLY SHE IS SO BAD!!", As you have guessed by this point.. Raouf Azehara van Astralynn is a gooner.
A chronic gooner.
The blondie takes a deep breath and blinks for a slight second—her beautiful eye lashes.. one might say they're shoujo-like, her eyelids shutter like a camera revealing her shiny emerald-like eyes.
Her pink glossy lips start to form a sentence: "Oi.. Hands off my little sister you creep".
Looking at her you would expect the most sweet and heart-warming words to come out of that gentle and beautiful face—Raouf Azehara van Astralynn had been heart broken to hear those words from a beauty.
The Blonde siblings walk away from the miserable Raouf leaving him alone with his spirit crushed.
In the end they walked away before Raouf Azehara van Astralynn could even fix the misunderstanding.
Raouf stands up although his spirit was broken prior—he had to go to school for the new semester, he tries to comfort himself while adjusting his pink e-girl headphones.
**********************************
Our lovely loli-con accused—protagonist has finally reached his destination after an eventful walk. Though he was unaware that he had missed the speech from the principal earlier that morning, he still marched forward.
He looks up to the sign that shows the name of the high-school—"Monochrome Rainbow High-school". Mono-bow for short.
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn walks in nonchalantly with a poker face, adjusting his pink e-girl headphones he walked right through in.. All eyes are on him and his beauty—or so he thought.
People are giving him looks due to his pink e-girl headphones—But our lovely protagonist does not care!!
He gets to his classroom and sits by the seat near the window.. he looked outside the window as a tear from his right eye fell down to his cheek.
Raouf's classmates look at him and think "what the hell is wrong with him?".
Suddenly, the classroom door opens and a woman with black flowy hair wearing a suit walks into the classroom and introduces herself: "Hello, I'm Elena Wisemeisje and I'm your homeroom teacher for this year I hope we get along and have a FANTASTIC year!."
.
.
The classroom is happy!!
"WE HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TEACHER!!"
"I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER IN MY 16 YEARS OF LIVING BEFORE!!"
"MS.ELENA STEP ON ME!!"
"WE LOVE YOU MS.ELENA!!"
"THANK THE LORD I DONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT FAT CUNT ANYMORE"
Ms.Elena was quite happy that the class is getting along-- she claps her hand "Now! Now! class calm down let's start by introducing eachother".
She raises her right arm and puts her index and middle fingers to her lip.
Ms.Elena:"Who do I choose.."
The Classroom starts going crazy
"ME MOMMY ME MOMMY!!"
"MS.ELENA CHOOSE ME!!"
"ME ! ME ! ME !"
The fat gooner with blue hair in the back was especially hyped up about this-- praying that he would be chosen.
.
.
Coincidentally the fat gooner was not chosen but rather it was.. Raouf?!!.
Ms.Elena: "I Choose you! The red period blood haired boy that's asleep in the back"
The classroom was filled with faces of jealousy.
The imaginary camera pans from left to right at the front of the class—the imaginary camera zooms in to Raouf's resting drooling face.
The classmates turn their head around staring at him.
The sleeping Raouf slowly wakes up and stands up wiping his eyes and his mouth gently.
He utters in a sleepy tone:
"My name is Raouf Azehara van Astralynn, I uhhh-- I hope to be of assistance this year yawn.."
Ms.Elena: "Oh.. is that right—well can you name 1 thing you love for the class."
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn clearly not in the right place and time utters: "Overwatch porn" and falls right back asleep.
The classroom went silent for a few seconds.
"WHAT!!!!!!!!"
"NOW THIS IS SOMEBODY I CAN CALL TWIN"
"EWWW HE LIKES OVERWATCH PORN."
"UGH HES A GOONER"
"WHY DO I ALWAYS GET INTO THE WEIRDEST CLASSROOMS?"
Elena Wisemeisje is hitting the ishowspeed face knowing that this young man is doomed in the future.
She locks in again and calms down the class.
"Now Class!! Listen to Elena onee-sama and let's get to know each other!!"
The fat gooner in the far left back of the classroom thinks to himself :
"isn't this a novel being written in English?- why is she saying onee-sama??"
Ms.Elena was just about to pick the fat gooner in the back with his fat ahh belly
UNTIL.
*Knock* *Knock*
The beautiful black haired teacher turns her face showing a side-profile that eats—slowly she utters: "Who's there?".
The door opens
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn slowly wakes up, to see the blondie from earlier walk in.
The background turns pink
*BADUMP* *BADUMP*
While everyone's heart was beating at the sight of the golden beauty infront of them-- the fat gooner in the back had something else beating.
The imaginary camera pans from right to left at the sight of the golden beauty.
Her soft glossy pink lips utter:
"Sorry.. teacher I'm late"
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn looks at her with his amethyst eyes—his pupil took form the shape of a heart like a hentai doujinshi heroine.
Likewise the rest of the class did so—the only thing they were missing is the ahegao next for when she talks.
Ms.Elena: "It's okay! you can go sit near the red haired boy back there—we were just getting ready to introduce ourselves".
"Oh by the way I'm Elena Wisemeisje".
Ms.Elena Wisemeisje ofcourse didn't know about what happened earlier between the overwatch porn-watcher and the golden beauty.
Ms.Elena raises her arm and points at the golden beauty: "How about you introduce yourself since you're already standing here Ojou-chan".
The fat blue haired gooner in the back thinks to himself again the same thing he thought earlier.
The imaginary camera shutters and pans onto the golden beauty-- slightly shaking and blurry, coincidentally the window to the left of the golden beauty was open-- soon as she introduced herself the multi-colored leaves blew into the classroom-- as the wind made her blond golden hair flow.
"I am Aileen Hanaōgi, I hope we can get along this year".
She smiled.
A smile that could soothe even the most unstable heart-- a smile that sure did soothe the heart of many in that classroom.
It was unreal looking at her, from her golden face and doll-like face and those emerald-like eyes that shone brightly.
Her moderately-sized chest,Her doll-like legs and thighs-- she was unreal, yet she stood there infront of everyone with her charming smile.
She was perfect in every way-- even to the way how her charcoal-gray cotton vest contrasted with her hair-color alongside the navy blue patterned skirt and black leggings-- ending off with a pair of brown loafers on her feet.
Ms. Elena taps the floor with her heels and points onwards to the sleeping Raouf--
Wait.
The sleeping Raouf?
.
.
THE SLEEPING RAOUF??!!
.
.
YOU'RE TELLING ME HE FELL ASLEEP AGAIN?
After that lovely description-- that lovely scene of the golden beauty herself AILEEN HANAŌGI,THE GIRL THAT COULD CAPTURE ANYBODY'S HEART.
YOU'RE TELLING ME HE WAS ASLEEP????!!!!!
The fat gooner in the back alongside the rest of the class were quite shocked to see that Raouf Azehara van Astralynn—yes the young man who proclaimed he loved overwatch porn without even hesitating—nor stuttering a SINGLE word.
With his hand on his heart--SHINZOU SASAGEYO!—an inspiration to the fat blue haired gooner sitting in the back—just HOW could he be asleep at possibly the greatest moment that a gooner could possibly ever EXPERIENCE!!!!
.
.
His character had been utterly dismantled—twisted beyond recognition, a grotesque distortion of the man he once was. The essence of Raouf Azehara van Astralynn had been defiled, his identity left in ruins.
That is who Raouf Azehara van Astralynn had become.
A tear had fallen out of Raouf's eye after that heartbreaking monologue.
He woke up after that with again the most pervy-face one could make—he is excited that the golden beauty is gonna sit near him.
"YES YES YES!!"
.
.
.
"YES."
999! HE HAD HIT THE JACKPOT!!!
TRULY A BLESSING!!!.
Aileen Hanaōgi The gorgeous—THE BEAUTIFUL—THE GIRL WITH THE GREEN EMERALD-LIKE EYES HAD TOOK A STEP FORWARD BEFORE YOU KNEW IT !!!.
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn in his mind squeals in the most effeminate voice—like how a lead female deredere lovestruck character would act like
"KYAAAA~~".
For once you could call him a happy man.
In the span of thirty seconds, Raouf had transformed into a full-blown fangirl—abandoning Juno (from Overwatch) as his number one!
She got closer and closer—until she had reached the seat.
She was in arms reach,Raouf Azehara van Astralynn thought about grabbing her boobs for a split second—before he locked in again.
.
.
*Step*
.
Raouf's heart bumped.
.
*Step*
As she got closer Raouf slowly starting turning that already perverted smile of his—more perverted.
She sat on the seat.
Raouf—who had completely forgotten about the encounter they had earlier this morning.
*Doki* *Doki*
Raouf, lost in the sun-drenched fantasy of his honeymoon—Aileen's laughter mingling with the ocean breeze, her fingers laced with his on some distant, perfect shore—hadn't noticed the silence at first. But then it hit him: the weight of their stares. The classroom had become a battlefield, every pair of eyes a weapon. Glances sharp as shattered glass, whispers like poisoned darts, all aimed at his heart. He could almost hear the collective snarl of their envy, a chorus of hatred so thick it choked the air. For a moment, he wasn't just seen—he was skewered, pinned beneath the brutal judgment of those who could never dream as boldly as he did.
Raouf snapped back to reality and locked in.
Raouf then had to endure those stares filled with murderous intent for the rest of the period.
**********************************
After fighting for his life in the classroom, villainized for sitting next to the most beautiful girl in the whole school, Raouf Azehara van Astralynn had been walking in the hallway oblivious to the sharks that are tailing him.
The time for mid-day hunger had come, our lovely protagonist had been starving due to not eating breakfast, so he decided to go the cafeteria.
He arrives at the cafeteria, he had been overwhelmed by the amount of people trying to talk to the golden beauty—he thought about joining them but that was contradictory to his edgy loner persona.
So, he decided to order 3 shrimp-flavored instant ramen cups—he got quite the attention while ordering, not just for the 3 noodle cups but also for his pink e-girl headphones.
He grabbed his three cups of shrimp-flavored noodle cups—and went to sit on a table alone.
He ate—as he read manga on his phone with a pink phone-case, suddenly he heard footsteps coming.
The chair infront of him had slid and screeched, naturally Raouf had turned his head upwards—only to see the golden beauty herself infront of him.
Raouf wiped his eyes—once, twice—the world blurring and spinning, the world in Raouf's amethyst eyes was distorted. Incredulity spiked through his body, he still did not trust what his eyes had seen—because WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN THAT THE GOLDEN BEAUTY IS RIGHT INFRONT OF ME???!!—Raouf still not trusting his eyes decided to see if his fingers would phase through his palms.
IT WAS NOT A DREAM.
Filled with a sense of lust and shyness, he was unknowing of what to say—especially to her!!. Just what could he say to fine shyt?, No the real question was: why was Aileen Hanaōgi—yes the Aileen Hanaōgi the girl with a big green paper fan, the one whom verbally abused our lovely protagonist—why was SHE sitting in the same table—NO!! why was she even in the presence of Raouf Azehara van Astralynn??!
Aileen Hanaōgi with her doll-like glossy pink lips—that could turn on any man just from the way they look—her lips were about to form a sentence: "You—".
STOP!!!!
Raof yells and pushes out of both of his palms interrupting Aileen Hanaōgi. His right palm collides with his left palm—like 2 stars colliding and creating a black hole—CLAP!!
"I THE LOWLY RAOUF AZEHARA VAN ASTRALYNN APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT HAD HAPPENED EARLIER IN THE MORNING, I HAD NO ILL INTENTIONS TOWARDS YOUR LITTLE SISTER FORGIVE ME NOBLE LADY AILEEN!!". After hearing that, Aileen burst into laughter—after chuckling for a while she assured our lovely protagonist that it's alright, she had realized later that he was trying to help rather than hit on her little sister.
"You!! ahahaa!!—you looked so ridiculous earlier"—she covered her mouth and held onto her vest—" I'm so so sorry ahahaha!!!—I couldn't help myself from thinking you were a creep!!, who wouldn't think you're a creep with those pink headphones talking to a little girl with a shady smile!".
Raouf stared at Aileen in awe, her laugh captivated his heart—he had thought she was a cold person earlier—so to see this side of her. That he had never seen before, had warmed his heart.
He smiled.
He adjusts his headphones, "Well, I couldn't help it!! you didn't even give me time to react and explain the situation—I'll have you know I was heartbroken from being called a lolicon!".
Wait isn't this situation a little too perfect..?, Raouf—a lowlife who is on the game for the whole day—has the prettiest girl in monobow high-school casually talking to him—Isn't that a bit too cliché .. ?
.
.
.
Raouf pulls down his headphones and hangs it on his neck—he turns his head upwards in an arrogant manner. Aileen catches on rather quickly—she pulls out her phone.. covered in glitter??, Raouf could've never imagined Aileen with a cutesy-phone case like that—this girl is so random.
She starts typing on her phone—message sent—CAWK CAWK CAWK!!.
That sound frightened Aileen, only to realize that—that was Raouf's notification sound. She quietly thinks to herself "WHO THE HELL MAKES THEIR NOTIFICATION SOUND THAT??!!", unphased by the sound of his absurd notification— Raouf checks the message:
"Let's walk home together after-school, I'll tell you the details later."
Raouf turns his head up and gives out a thumbs up to Aileen. CAWK CAWK CAWK!!, He checks his phone yet again—His eyes widened. A H-H-HEART EMOJI?!!!—he looks back up and winks at her.
She winks back in disgust.
******************
A few hours had passed by—the bell had rang, our lovely protagonist was walking home with the golden beauty herself.
To say the least, Raouf was ecstatic about this—it seems the events of last summer were worth it after all. Oh my? did we skip a chapter in this story, well it's gonna be told another time I suppose—for now lets focus on Aileen Hanaōgi.
The imaginary camera pans towards Aileen's face—she turns her head 90° degrees, soft speakingly she utters:
"You, you're quite famous aren't you?".
Raouf gulped and after hearing that heavy "You", he then looked at her with a look of slight confusion—"Me..? famous?, that couldn't possibly be. THE Raouf Azehara van Astralynn + famous..??". Ofcourse Raouf had quite a reputation (other than being a gooner), after all what went down through last summer—he was quite famous in town.
Aileen stares speakingly at the red haired protagonist:
"Don't act oblivious, you are well aware of what you are". With a flick of her wrist she opens her green paper fan—as if she's threatening our lovely protagonist.
Raouf freezes up and panicks—he quickly changes the subject:
"So, how may I be of assistance Lady-Aileen?".
She turns her head the other way—blink
—she glances at him yet again. She briefly stops walking—causing Raouf to stop walking too, "It's about my little brother.. can you help me?"
.
.
Raouf realizing the seriousness of the situation answers truthfully: "I'll help."
Aileen smiles: "thanks." she puts her hands behind her back—"Let's pick up my little sister from kindergarten first".
They arrive at the kindergarten, Aileen's little sister bursts out the door!—and jumps a little higher than a normal kindergartener could jump, "SISSY!!! I MISSED YOU SO MUWCH!!"—she falls onto her big sister's arms.
"Damn they look alike.", Raouf scratches his head at the resemblance of the sisters.
The little sister turns her head and giggles:
"WAHH ! TOMATO BOY!".
Tomato boy..?
Raouf feeling quite a bit offended grits his teeth and and clenches his fists:
"My hair isn't a tomato!—although it's red, as you can see I don't have a calyx. If anything your hair is the color of a banana!—stupid banana girl".
Aileen sighs: "Are you seriously arguing with a 5 year old?", she strokes her little sister's blonde hair—"Okay Arina, it's time to introduce yourself to tomato boy".
Aileen and Arina both chuckle, Arina gets down from her sister's arms *thud*—she waves at tomato boy—"Hi tomato boy! I'm Arina Hanaōgi, I'm uhhh-"—she looks at her sister "how old is Arina again?", Aileen puts up five fingers—"1.. 2.. 5.. MR.TOMATO I'M FIVE YEARS OLD!!" Arina puts her hand up and smiles.
Raouf stares at Arina
.
.
.
CUTE!!,"w-wait no! she disgraced my red hair".
Raouf scratches his neck, "I -uhm- I am Raouf Azehara van Astralynn!!"—he points his thumb to his heart with pride!.
Arina's eyes widen and sparkle:
"WAHHH!! MISTER YOUR NAME IS SO COOL!" .
Raouf daps up Arina—"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT IS !".
Aileen sighs yet again :"Your name is long, Arina probably can't even pronounce it"—Arina refutes that fact: "YES I CAN !, HIS NAME IS.... Raoul..?"—Arina puts her finger to her lip.
Raouf grits his teeth:
"MY NAME IS RAOUF AZEHARA VAN ASTRALYNN!!!!, I AM NOT A LONE WOLF I AM A KIND AND COMPASSIONATE MAN THATS ME IM RAOUF!!", The passers-by stare at the maniac screaming at a kindergartener.
Aileen stares at Raouf with a disappointed look in her eyes: "Let's go."—Our lovely protagonist was frightened! he apologizes instantly for embarrassing her, Arina giggles : "Ha!! Aileen won't give you any hugs now!".
The red haired warrior falls onto the ground and pleads—and cries : "NO!!!!!!"( it's not like he was gonna get any either way).
They start walking their way to the Hanaōgi household, in the middle of their walk—Raouf spots Arina staring at an ice cream shop on the way—Raouf pats Arina's little head : "Want some?", Arina without hesitating blurts: "YES I DO !", Raouf glances at Aileen and smiles "Shall we?", Aileen sighs—and gives in.
Arina holding Aileen's hand walks in alongside the inferior being right next to them—Arina looks at the inside of the shop where everything is colorful, the walls were detailed with ice cream patterns alongside a variety of colors—hell, even the seats and tables were colorful as well, it brought such a happy vibe and a somewhat nostalgic feeling to Raouf.
A girl wearing an apron notices the customers—she stood up and turned her backwards cap to the front, and takes a deep breath: "Hello ! how may I take your order?".
Arina pointed her hand up to the menu screen and blurted:
"I want banana ice cream!".
Raouf laughs causing Arina to get mad and change her order to strawberry—but Raouf calms her down and promises to not make fun of her again.
Arina:"Hmph—stupid tomato boy".
Raouf orders vanilla-flavored ice cream, but Aileen orders the opposite of Raouf and orders chocolate-flavored ice cream.
Our lovely protagonist looks at the beautiful nature, the beautiful multi-colored leaves, the lovely smell of windy air, the scent of the shampoo that Aileen uses, he was truly enjoying life at that moment.
Raouf Azehara van Astralynn smiles and licks his ice cream in the most suspicious way possible, his tongue swirling from the right side of the ice cream rotating so freakishly—swipe—rather than his tongue swirling the other way around it moved horizontally, it dug deep like a piercing lance into the vanilla ice-cream—his tongue proceeds to move around passionately.
**********************************
Raouf after passionately licking his ice cream, had arrived at the Hanaōgi household—woah that's a whole ass castle.
The house was beautiful it was fairly big in size and 2 stories high with the gate outside looking Japanese-inspired, and the walls painted a very sad grey with a shade of grim green—the garden filled with beautiful flowery it was all too colorful and elegant.
Raouf walks into the gate behind the pair of sisters with his hands in his pockets.
Aileen turns her head back: "You don't look cool with your hands in your pockets".
Raouf felt somewhat embarrassed still kept his hands in his pockets.
Aileen opens the door letting Raouf enter, he admired the green walls—step step—a figure walks out the hallway, a woman resembling Aileen wearing a white dress and a gold necklace, she was rather beautiful and elegant exerting a motherly nature. She notices Raouf:
"Oh my? could you be that little boy?"
Raouf felt slightly offended by that remark little boy huh... just how many times had his fragile ego been shattered today by the same family.
She smiles: "Pardon me for the late introduction, I am Aurelia Hanaōgi—you could just call me Mrs Hanaōgi"
Mrs Hanaōgi asks Aileen: "is he the boy?", Aileen nods—Mrs Hanaōgi chuckles: "Well he certainly does give off a kind aura".
Raouf felt flattered by Mrs Hanaōgi's words, he then introduces himself: "I am Raouf Azehara van Astralynn, it's a pleasure to meet you Mrs Hanaōgi", Aurelia Hanaōgi under her breath: "Oh my?, Astralynn..".
The mother takes the initiative and sits everybody down at the living room, Raouf lays down on the gray couch—the siblings are sitting on the couch mirroring Raouf's, the mother is sitting towards the left on a chair.
They discuss:
Raouf: "So what's the reason I was brought here?"
Aileen gently stroking her sister's hair: "It's a problem related to my brother.. you—you possess star magic right?"
Raouf nods: "Yes I do. (What the hell could she possibly want me to do?)"
Aileen: "My little brother is struck with some sort of curse, we haven't been able to cure him—we tried everything we could. He is slowly but surely sheltering himself from sunlight, I think it's a curse related to vampires since our lineage traces back to a vampire, but of course it's a hypothesis—we don't even know the root of this curse or why it happened in the first place."
Aurelia sips on her tea: "Well said my daughter."
Raouf: "I see, I have an idea of what you want me to do."
Aileen: "Oh my? you rather catch on quickly for an idiot, well I'm not even certain if that idea will even work at all—since we're not even sure about the curse being vampire-related, but we shall test it out either way."
Raouf sighs: "How am I exactly an idiot for catching on quickly?"
Aileen brushes aside the question and utters:
"Well we know what vampires are weak to right?"
Raouf nods.
Aileen clears her throat: "they're weak to the sun, and the sun is a star right—so I assume your magic would be able to do something to the curse. What I want you to do—is to pour your mana gently throughout Aris's body, possibly exterminating the curse from within."
Raouf: "But aren't vampires just weak to sunlight and not the sun itself?, shouldn't I just cast sunlight upon him from above like a scanner-"
Aileen interrupts Raouf: "Idiot, vampires are weak to sunlight—if my brother had turned into a vampire that means you'd possibly kill him."
Raouf feeling degraded: "ah I see."
Aileen stands up: "Well now that you have the whole idea, let's go and test our hypothesis."
Aileen then leads Raouf upstairs to Aris's room, Raouf admired the paintings on the wall and the colorful little flower pots everywhere. They walk in to see that Aris (whom was fast asleep) skin had turned pale and grey—like a vampire.
Aileen quickly rushes to Aris's side, staying composed she utters: "My assumption was correct the curse was vampire-related after all.. .".
She rips out Aris's shirt and points at Raouf: "—Quickly! pour your mana onto him now!".
Raouf aquiesces without a second thought, he lifts his sleeve and puts his hand on Aris's chest. Raouf slowly pours his star mana onto Aris's cold body steadily warming it up—the paleness of his body gradually turning back into it's original light tone.
Suddenly.
Aris wakes up coughing—batting Raouf's arm away—his skin still slightly greyish it ached from the warmth of Raouf's star mana.
Raouf backs off.
Aris: "You dare wake she up from her slumber?!"
Aileen had noticed fangs as "Aris" spoke—he did not have those before. Aileen was certainly certain now that her little brother had been possessed by a vampire.
"Aris" coughs: "I am The Flower fan Selpharia Moongale.
She who strikes one with the wind—the wind is all mine. I am she as gentle as a flower, yet bound to fan wind towards my enemy.".
Selpharia (whom possess Aris) stands up swiftly, giving a sharp look to both Aileen and Raouf.
Selpharia with a smug look obviously bluffing says:
"You dare challenge the flower fan herself?".
Raouf obviously not falling for her bluff: "You know miss flower fan, I could absolutely burn you alive right now. I trust you do know that right.".
Raouf puts up his hand almost as if he's threatening the possessed little boy.
Aileen steps in: "Selpharia Moongale, you are in no condition to even make a bluff like that. You're utterly weak right now, you pose no problem for us.".
Selpharia sits down knowing that she poses no real threat right now, she sighs: "After reincarnating myself into my descendant.. hoping for a second coming—it's ruined from the start".
She stares at the body she's possessed and sighs yet again: "Such a weak body.. yet I sense so much potential in it.".
Sighing for the third and last time: "And as my luck has it—of course there just had to be a bastard with sunlight magic and red hair.".
Raouf & Aileen: "———".
Selpharia: "Don't just stand there silently. If you guys let me be—I just might commit suicide in this body.".
Selpharia grins and licks her lips maliciously.
Aileen tells Raouf to burn the vampiric spirit in Aris's body. But first he had to knock out Aris—which was an easy task in itself, but they were curious on why Selpharia had reincarnated.
Aileen: "So? why did you reincarnate into my little brother. And how did you reincarnate.".
Selpharia: "It's as I said earlier I wanted a second coming. But alas it's a wasted effort, but honestly the real reason I wanted to reincarnate was to spar Astralynn's offspring. And as for how I reincarnated it's by extracting a tiny tiny bit of my soul and putting it inside my newborn son at the time—though I must admit I never thought this "reincarnation" thing would work since it was just a fairy tale, it predates my existence as a vampire.".
She glares at Raouf: "You.. you what's your name offspring of Astralynn.".
Raouf knew that he was stronger than Selpharia in that moment yet he still gulped due to the sheer aura she emitted—even in her weakened state.
Raouf: "I am Raouf Azehara van Astralynn. It's as you said I'm a descendant of Astralynn the great sun-mage herself.".
Selpharia laughs: "Ka.. ka.. ka! you know I consider Astralynn my sister. Though she was a mere human, she was certainly my greatest rival.".
Suddenly, Aurelia Hanaōgi walks into the room. She smiles at her vampire-possessed son: "Oh my? Lady Selpharia Moongale! is that you?!.. oh my oh my. I've always wanted to meet you.".
Selpharia: "Oh my?, another one of my descendants, you are certainly noble and beautiful like all vampires should be. Hm but I suppose you cannot be even considered one anymore.. your ears are nearly completely round. That damn bastard husband of mine's human blood overwrote my great vampiric blood.".
She sighed.
Selpharia: "Oh well.. I have nothing more to say—just get on it with it, flower of Astralynn. Unless you still wanna challenge me—if so then let me possess this boy's body for a little longer.".
Raouf: "—Wait can you tell me more about Astralynn?.."
Selpharia: "As you wish, offspring of Astralynn. Astralynn was a very stronge mage—in an era where I was deemed the strongest she brought me down and defeated me, I was a killer a ruthless killer—I was feared all throughout the world. Not a single soul dared to challenge me except the courageous ones.. naturally I won all of the duels and feasted upon them after. All but Astralynn—she wasn't a courageous soul.. she wasn't scared of me at all rather she was kind—looking at her, she looks and acts like a kind woman.. it was a close fight—in the end Astralynn won. Ka! ka ! ka! I'll never forget the moment she put her hand out towards me—helping me stand up, that's when I realized she fought me out of her desire to help me. She taught me how to be human again.".
Raouf: "Thanks Flower fan. I'm glad you told me about her. "
Selpharia laughs: "Oh my? not only do you look like her, you also call me by the same name—you truly are her offspring afterall.".
She laughed knowing her time was up.
Aileen: "Last thing Lady Selpharia, what are your final words?".
Selpharia: "———".
Selpharia Moongale smiled silently—after all she had nothing more to say.
Aileen gives Raouf a look, he nods and gets on to it. He puts his right palm forward—his mana extending out of his body brightly like an arm, he gently digs into Aris's core and grabs Selpharia's vampiric spirit. He gives Selpharia one final look—and gently burns her spirit for good.
After that happened, Aris woke up not understanding what had happened—he cried in his sister's arms.
**********************************
Now we head onto the final act—or rather the epilogue of today's story.
Raouf ate dinner alongside the Hanaōgi household. It turns out that Miss.Hanaōgi is a great cook, she made lasagna for dinner.
He walked home feeling rather empty-minded, he felt half-felt sorrow towards Selpharia.. he didn't understand as why he did. It felt like he had lost a relative on that day.
Raouf knew he did the right thing, but Selpharia wasn't coherently evil. Just what the hell is this feeling?
"I don't understand to as why I felt emotionally impacted, but all that matters is that I did the right thing."
Some part of Raouf wished he had saved both Selpharia & Aris. But he knew it would be impossible, a part of him had already accepted that Selpharia's time was up.. so why did he feel like she needed more time.
Raouf stopped thinking and starts running to his home. It's what he's best at afterall.
