"Alpha Grey, when will you be inaugurated as the werewolf clan leader?" Seikyu Yuuki asked.
"I think it will be soon," Alpha Grey replied.
"Do you want to invite Miss Moon? Even though she doesn't have magical abilities?" Seikyu Yuuki asked.
I quickly declined, "Ah, I don't think so. I don't need an invitation to a party. So there's no need to ask unnecessary questions."
Seikyu Yuuki held back her anger from Moon's words.
"I'll invite her! Don't worry, I'm not like the others," Alpha Grey replied, making Seikyu Yuuki feel at ease.
"Will you be busy so you'll refuse this invitation?" Seikyu Yuuki asked, staring coldly at Alpha Grey.
"Yes, it seems so. I won't be coming to Undermoon for the next few days either," I replied.
"It's not because you're hated by others for not having any powers, right?" Seikyu Yuuki asked, wanting to know the reason behind all those words.
I smiled, "No. I have other work."
"Okay. I have to go. Moon, don't forget to contact me if you need help," said Seikyu Yuuki, getting up from her seat.
"Yes, I'll remember!," I answered enthusiastically.
Seikyu Yuuki began to leave this place and Undermoon.
Now, it was just me and Alpha Grey. I immediately got up from my seat and left. However, Alpha Grey followed my steps. I looked back, and he looked away. It kept happening over and over again until I returned to Undermoon Academy. Lily, who saw my arrival, immediately approached.
"Moon, are you okay?," Lily asked me.
"Yes, I'm fine. There's a strange man who always follows me!," I said.
Alpha Grey immediately looked away and acted strangely. Pretending to observe the surrounding trees.
"Ah, maybe that's just your guess!," said Lily, seeing Alpha Grey observing the trees and realizing that Alpha Grey was only pretending, but she chose to ignore it.
Alpha Grey, who was observing the trees, was approached by Vampire Theo. "What happened?," Vampire Theo asked curiously.
"The demon king wants to take Moon away. I think she will be eliminated because she has no power," Alpha Grey answered.
Vampire Theo looked at Moon and Lily, who were not far from them.
"I see. What a shame! I hope she can stay here longer," Vampire Theo said hopefully.
Lily looked at Alpha Grey momentarily, "I don't think you need to worry about that, Moon."
"I'll be gone for the next few days, Lily," I said in a low voice that immediately surprised Lily.
"Why? What's wrong? What happened?," Lily asked in surprise.
"Nothing. I'm just going to clean up at home," I answered.
"Really?," Lily asked to make sure.
"Yes. That's right. Then see you!," I said, immediately returning to the original world.
A mysterious blue light enveloped me, transporting me back to the original world, leaving Alpha Grey in surprise. In an instant, I vanished, leaving him with more questions than answers.
Alpha Grey was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the blue light around the Moon. In an instant, she vanished. Alpha Grey hurriedly approached Lily.
"Where did Moon go?," Alpha Grey asked.
"She returned to the original world. But she won't be coming for the next few days because she's busy," Lily answered.
"Busy? Is that her reason because she's going to be eliminated by the demon king?," Alpha Grey asked, which surprised Lily.
"Elimination?," Lily asked in surprise.
Alpha Grey nodded, "I just talked to them. The demon king wanted to take Moon away to He's place. I thought it was actually to eliminate Moon because she didn't have the ability."
Lily's voice trembled with sadness, "So, I won't see Moon again? But why? Wasn't the rule different all this time?"
"I'm sorry, Lily. I couldn't prevent this from happening," Alpha Grey apologized.
Lily's tears began to flow, Her eyes turning red. Alpha Grey, understanding the pain of losing a friend, embraced her.
Someone had been watching from a distance and knew this. She smiled sweetly evilly.
Rosepion Apartment,
Back in the apartment of the original world, I sat by the window, gazing at the familiar cityscape. A sense of loss and longing washed over me.
"It's been a long time since I saw all this. I hope someday I can fix all the problems that I brought to this apartment as if nothing was wrong," I muttered to myself, unconsciously, my tears falling.
This apartment has a box that I didn't open when I moved here. The box contains old objects and looks sad when opened.
Emails that I never read and kept piling up and piling up.
"Moon, come home. You don't have to look for the cause of death. Come home."
"I'm here. Even if they're not here, I want to be your friend. I'll protect you from anything."
"Come home. This house is quiet now. We're not what you think. There's no weird matchmaking drama. We just want you. We promised to take care of you."
There were still many emails that I never read and never smiled at. Those emails were like something that had been dead for a long time.
Time passed with the wind blowing, the atmosphere, and weather that sometimes changed easily. The simple restaurant and cafe reopened. I immediately came to help and do my job. I had good coworkers.
Until this tranquility turned into something challenging. A girl visited this place, enjoying the menu being sold. This girl is a popular woman on social media, an influencer doing a live broadcast here. Because of her actions, many people were interested in coming here. The chef was pleased with the arrival of this woman and even became very busy.
"Hello, everyone. I came to the Rosepion cafe. I ordered some menus. Let's try it. And... don't come here, okay?! I didn't do anything and just sat down," said the woman, smiling.
This actually made more people come here. Seeing more and more people, this woman intended to see the kitchen area. After asking permission and being granted permission, she immediately left.
I was busy washing dishes because of the many buyers who came, and the stock of clean plates and glasses needed to be higher. I had to do my job quickly until I was surprised by Lily's presence here. She brought a cell phone and seemed to have done a live broadcast.
"Moon! Oh, my gosh. We met here?," said Lily very happily. She even showed me in her live broadcast.
"Hi, I'm sorry. This place is a bit messy," I said softly.
"What's wrong with you? Don't be shy. It won't ruin someone's popularity," Lily said and whispered to me, "You don't have to be shy. Nothing will make you feel uncomfortable."
"Excuse me, I'm working here. What are you doing here?," I asked.
"Doing a live broadcast. I'm just walking around. Are you alone here?"
"That's it."
"Does this job make you tired?"
"No. It's very fun. I just need to put the glasses and plates in the dishwasher and the glasses. Wait and it's done," I replied.
How about what you can get from this job? Is it worth it?"
"Yes, I can even buy an apartment, a luxury car. I even have a very large land. Want to see it?"
"Yes, let me see everything!"
I started asking Lily to come closer to me. I showed her a miniature house, car, and land building.
"This is mine. I feel proud to have all of this," I said, laughing a little. Lily immediately laughed, "Yes, that's right. She has it all. Isn't this hers!?"
The live broadcast went quite well. Until finally, Lily ended the live broadcast. Lily waited at She's desk again until I finished my work.
Towards the evening, we finally talked at the table together. Sitting opposite Lily.
"I'm sorry. Because of me, you waited here for a long time. It shouldn't have been like this. It will only make you tired," I said to Lily.
"That's not right. If I go out, the situation is also not safe. It will only make me feel tired. Do you really work here?," Lily replied.
"Yes, that's it. Buy something and I'll pay," I asked.
"No need. I'm already full and not thirsty. I want to talk to you."
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Are you serious about Undermoon?"
"Yes, I won't come again. I'll only be here for a few days."
"Alpha Grey said about you talking to the demon king. What are you talking about?"
"Who is the demon king?" I asked.
This spontaneous conversation made my coworkers curious, and they secretly eavesdropped on the conversation. Lily realized this, and she laughed to divert attention.
"Hahaha… it's just a title. Don't you know?"
I shook my head, "Yes. No. Is it about the man who met me?"
"Yes, that's right. Isn't that the demon king? The term for a stranger and that man," Lily said.
"Yes, I talked to him. Just talked, nothing was discussed further."
"I see. But are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm very well. I just won't be coming for a few days. For Alpha Grey, please convey it to him. Congratulations on your success, he," I said, leaving a message.
"Yes, don't worry. I'll convey your message."
Lily looked outside. A car had stopped in front of this yard. Lily started to say goodbye to me, and she left the place.
Lily's departure also made her coworkers observe. As soon as the car disappeared from view, her coworkers started to stare at me and even the chef.
"Moon, can you explain a little about this?" asked the chef.
"Ah, yes! Okay," I replied.
I started to tell how I knew Lily with my coworkers and the chef.
