23. Emergencies

Arriving at his doorstep. Nakamori felt that his heart was not at ease. For some reason he felt something was off. He tried to open the door of his house and how surprised he was to find a strange figure inside his house.
 
The figure looked like a human skeleton but had black wings.
 
Nakamori bit his lip, trying to remain calm despite his racing heart. He slowly entered his house, carefully observing the strange figure inside. The figure seemed to be floating in the air with the eerie curves of its black wings.
 
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" asked Nakamori in a trembling voice, but still trying to show courage.
 
The figure didn't answer, but simply stared at Nakamori with lightless eyes. His mysterious presence made Nakamori feel scared and uneasy. He tried to remember the lessons from his father on how to deal with dangerous situations, but in the presence of a supernatural figure like this, everything seemed so absurd.
 
"If you want to harm me, please leave this house now!" Nakamori exclaimed, trying to calm himself down and show his firmness.
 
However, the figure remained floating in place without moving. Suddenly, a flat and cold voice emerged from his mouth, "I'm looking for someone. Someone very important."
 
Nakamori became increasingly confused and frightened. "Who are you looking for? What business do you have with that person? Why did you come here?"
 
The figure did not give a clear answer. Instead, he simply raised his bony hand and pointed it at Nakamori. Without realizing it, the room grew darker and the air felt tense.
 
Nakamori felt how dangerous this situation was. He felt weak and didn't know what to do. But in the midst of his fear, there was an urge within him to speak up.
 
"I don't know who you're looking for, but this is my home! I won't let you threaten my safety in this place!" Nakamori said in a trembling voice, trying to voice courage despite the difficulty.
 
The figure was still silent, but looked as if it was contemplating Nakamori's words. Suddenly, the atmosphere of the room changed and the figure simply disappeared, leaving Nakamori alone with mixed feelings.
 
Nakamori fell to the floor, exhausted and trembling. He didn't know what had just happened, but he was relieved that the strange figure was gone. Even so, feelings of worry and uncertainty still loomed over his mind.
 
She knew that this was not the end of this mystery. She had to find out more about the strange figure and what it was really looking for. In her heart, she vowed to be more prepared and resilient to supernatural things that might threaten her peaceful life like this. Because he realized that since his arrival to this place, he felt sure that there would be a lot of strange creatures trying to disturb him.
 
Nakamori got up and went to the kitchen to get some water. He wanted to calm himself down for a while.
 
***
 
Saeran still hasn't come home, he didn't reply to my message either, Nakamori said to himself.
 
It was getting darker and deserved to be called late at night. Hours, seconds, minutes had passed but there was still no sign that Saeran would show up. And obviously that made Nakamori feel even more worried.
 
"Damn it I want to go home!" muttered Nakamori in disgust. He threw down the pillow he had been holding. He then got up and walked towards the window. As he approached the window, the glass suddenly shattered and the figure of a human skeleton with wings reappeared and entered his house. The figure looked even more sinister than before, now carrying a scythe in his hand. It was as if he was a grim reaper preparing to take the girl's life at any moment.
 
The situation Nakamori found herself in was becoming increasingly frightening. She was feeling anxious because Saeran hadn't come home and hadn't given any news. And now, the appearance of a creepy figure with a scythe in hand added to his worries.
 
Nakamori's body froze when the creepy figure entered his house. His heart was racing, but he tried to muster up the courage. He tried to push aside the fear and asked the figure in a trembling voice, "Why... why did you reappear?"
 
The figure remained silent, but its fiery red eyes seemed to imply that there was a mysterious power behind it. Without giving an answer, the figure swung its scythe quickly, making Nakamori jump backwards to dodge.
 
Nakamori felt confused and scared, he had no idea what was going on or why the figure was targeting him. He tried to recall if there was anything he did or saw that could have caused this figure to appear, but nothing came to mind.
 
Frightened and distressed, Nakamori tried to get out of his house and ran for help. However, the figure followed his every move with terrifying speed. Every time he almost reached the door, the figure appeared in front of him, blocking his way.
 
Just as Nakamori was getting desperate at not being able to leave his house, there was a loud roar from outside the house, followed by a bright beam of light. Saeran came in carrying a staff filled with strange, glowing symbols.
 
"Damn it! Stop bothering Nakamori!" Saeran shouted at the figure angrily.
 
The figure seemed distracted by the lights and symbols. Saeran boldly approached the figure and began to chant a spell that Nakamori did not understand. The light grew brighter, surrounding the creepy figure.
 
Without waiting any longer, the figure disappeared in a black mist and shattered like dust. Saeran managed to drive it away, and when the mist cleared, all was quiet again.
 
Nakamori, who had been watching in fear, was finally relieved to see the figure disappear. He ran up to Saeran and asked, "Are you okay?"
 
Saeran smiled weakly, "Yes, I'm fine. Sorry for making you worry."
 
Nakamori was relieved to hear Saeran's explanation. He was touched by Saeran's bravery in saving him from the danger. But not long afterward Saeran's figure slowly disappeared and then blurred into a bright light.
 
Seeing Saeran turn into light made Nakamori even more panicked. He didn't understand but he was crying unconsciously. As he cried, two mysterious figures suddenly appeared, one of whom Nakamori recognized.
 
"WHAT ARE YOU KILLING MY SAERAN!" Nakamori raged.
 
Poppy snorted, she was annoyed that Nakamori seemed to have misunderstood. The figure of Saeran seen in Nakamori's eyes earlier was a shadow created by Lily's friends to protect Nakamori temporarily until she and Lily arrived here. Poppy was sure that Nakamori thought she had killed Saeran.
