In the bright morning.
Without realizing it, it's already the third day of the twilight zone, this is the last day.
Last night I saw the news, it was confirmed that today there will be a solar eclipse. But this is not an ordinary solar eclipse, this is a solar eclipse caused by the twilight moon. Or commonly called the "Midnight Zone."
The midnight zone in this area will last from eleven o'clock to one o'clock in the afternoon, a total of two hour. The peak is at twelve o'clock in the afternoon or it can be called a full solar eclipse.
It seems that the movement of the twilight moon will be fast after the full solar eclipse.
It seems that today I will not go out of the house first.
Hopefully nothing bad happens today.
< At SCH headquarters >
There is a meeting being held in a room, people are surrounding a table, they are heard debating something about "The Qwerty."
"But they are The Qwerty, they must be planning something." Said one of the people there.
And the others added "that's right! They must be planning something."
"But even so, we don't know anything, right?" Another replied.
"I think The Qwerty's purpose in kidnapping the spirit creature "The Chef" is because they want to make him enter Awakening." said the person who was suspicious of The Qwerty.
"Ohh, it makes sense, all the evidence is clear with that" said the person who just followed suit.
The leader of the SCH headquarters of the chicken noodle district added "It does make sense. But if that's the case, what is their goal? The Chef doesn't have great power, right? So there's no benefit for them either."
The person who just followed suit added "Could there be a power of The Chef that we don't know about?"
After that, the room became very noisy. People asked each other questions, but no one knew.
So far, The Chef's spirit creatures have rarely shown their abilities and are categorized as harmless spirit creatures. And because of that, no one is interested in investigating it.
The only ability that people know is his very good cooking ability, he often cooks food for other spirit creatures.
"Um, actually I know some clues about The Chef's other abilities." After speaking like that, he became the center of attention of many people, especially because he was the youngest person there.
Answer from the leader of the SCH headquarters of the chicken noodle district "Okay, let's listen to Matthew's explanation."
"O-Okay! Thank you Mr. Maynord" Matthew replied, he looked a little less confident.
"Actually..."
< Cello's point of view >
Without realizing it...
It was already eleven o'clock in the afternoon, when I looked out the window I could already see the twilight moon slowly covering the sunlight.
After looking out the window, Bino came over to me. So I stretched out my hand towards Bino, he also immediately climbed onto my hand and walked up to my shoulder.
"Hey Bino, is this going to be okay?" I asked.
Bino also squeaked a few times after I said that. Although I couldn't understand it, I was sure that Bino was calming me down, even his tail seemed to be stroking my head.
It felt really comfortable.
Not long after that I saw some people walking past my house.
Are they from SCH?
They were not wearing uniforms, as far as I remember SCH officers must wear uniforms when on duty.
So I immediately rushed to call SCH. From what I heard, it seemed that after I reported, they received similar reports in several places in the chicken noodle district, the situation at SCH headquarters was chaotic.
I had a bad feeling about this, but I didn't feel any fear at all.
I don't know.
Maybe because I have nothing left, I'm not afraid of death.
Suddenly it was very dark outside, my area was already covered by the shadow of the twilight moon, this is what is called the midnight zone.
After that, an emergency announcement was heard, the contents were a message telling residents to immediately evacuate to the "meatball" district.
"Oh my, how is this Bino?"
Again, Bino only answered with a squeak. Of course, he was just a mouse.
Bino and I followed the instructions given, the SCH officers also came to direct, many residents were scared and ran here and there.
The situation was very chaotic.
From a distance I could see a very bright light. Judging from its direction, maybe it was in the middle of the chicken noodle district?
I walked with Bino in the middle of the crowd towards the place directed by the SCH officers.
Although there were no signs of an attack, I could see everyone's faces were very panicked.
"Mom! Where are you?"
A child's voice?
It seemed like he was separated from his parents, well, later someone would help him.
I walked away from the sound of her crying, somehow it felt tight, but I ignored it and kept walking.
Suddenly I heard a woman's voice that felt familiar and very comfortable.
"Don't you intend to help her?"
I reflexively stopped walking in the middle of the crowd that kept pushing me forward.
That voice... Was it talking to me?
"Yes, I'm talking to you."
My mind were read? Moreover, where did the voice come from?
It didn't seem to be from the surroundings, it felt as if it came from my own mind.
"That's right! I'm talking through your mind."
For what?
"Like I asked earlier, don't you intend to help her?"
For what? Besides, I don't know her.
True, I have no relationship with her, so I don't need to help her.
"But don't you want to?"
I... Want to help her?
Suddenly I remembered my older sister who said this to me. "I know, deep inside you are actually very good, right? You want to do something but are hesitant to do it."
Those were his last words when he sacrificed himself to save me.
That's right. I've wanted to for a long time, but I still didn't do it.
Even though I had decided to change...
"It's not too late to change now."
"..."
I heard it.
I knew it.
No one helped her.
Even so, I still tried to avoid it.
I felt disgusted with myself, I gritted my teeth in annoyance.
If no one helps her... Then I will be the one to help her!
