Deranged Writer's Afterword

It's Sunday.

I didn't wake up till 12:00 pm.

Don't judge me.

Being lazy is a privilege that only children get to have and I am technically still a child.

Also I couldn't really sleep, because all that happened yesterday.

After taking a quick bath and brushing my teeth, I go to the dining hall to have lunch.

Lecia ate her lunch in her room, She didn't specifically ask for this but I was taking Ken's advice seriously and giving her space. There was a ton of things that I wanted to ask her but it had to wait.

After lunch, I head over to my room and start writing another letter to Lecia, I know it's silly but confronting her head on after my behavior yesterday has been hard. I don't know what she thought about the note I had sent over yesterday. I hope she doesn't hate me...

I write about all that happened to the both of us after she fell to the mana coma. I wrote about how we were adopted by the Creeds, about how I had enrolled at the Unity and more.

Of course, I didn't include all the killing that had happened.

I don't think she can handle all that right now,

Let's hope that she never finds out.

~~~~

I'm in front of her door now.

I kneel down on one leg and slide the note through the space below the door.

Just as I did this, the door swung open and I can see Lecia's legs.

I look up and see her face.

There's a small smile on her face.

That's good, right ?

She gets down on her knees and take the note which I had slid through the gap below the door. She reads it without saying a word and puts the paper down after reading it.

She gets up and extends her hand towards me.

'' You know that, you can just talk to me right ?''

~~~~

We were sitting in the same bench that, Ken and I had sat on just yesterday.

It seems that Amanda and Agnes had already told her everything that had transpired while she was in the coma. So that's a good fifteen minutes wasted on a useless letter, but I don't mind.

There's eye bags under her eyes, she probably didn't sleep much. But she looks better compared to yesterday.

'' I'm sorry, that I yelled at you yesterday, X.'', her eyes were focused on the patch of roses in front of her.

'' You don't have to apologize..... it was my fault.''

We stay silent for awhile after that.

'' Oh, I got a real name as well.''

It seems that they had forgotten to tell her that.

Lecia's brows shoot up and she asks,

'' What is it ?''

'' Adam. Adam Creed.''

She's silent for some time before saying,

'' Did you think, I would feel better after hearing my dead brother's name ?''

Oh shit.

'' Uh.. I'm sorry.. I'll change i-''

I try to apologize but she starts laughing.

Huh ?

Did I miss something ?

'' I'm joking..... it suits you.''

What a twisted sense of humor.

Internally sighing, a smile breaks out on my face.

Lecia gets up from the bench and walks towards the patch of roses.

She smells one of the roses, and plucks one and turns towards me.

A slight breeze passes over the garden and some strands of Lecia's blonde hair flips to the opposite side, she uses her hand to reposition her hair and smiles at me.

She gives the rose to me and says,

'' This is for yesterday.''

Normally, I would have been touched, but there was an ominous feeling in my heart.

~~~~

'' No bodies have been found near the Baryon Mountain.''

'' Are you sure ?''

'' Yes, sir.''

Amanda looked tired of answering the same question over and over again.

But, I still ask her once again, to which I get the same answer.

I clasp my hands together on the table.

This is.... unexpected.

If my guess is correct...

There was a very high chance that, Lecia was the Messiah.

~~~~

Is it possible ?

Could Lecia actually be the Messiah ?

Let's get the facts straight first.

The Messiah was a women, with blonde hair, She had a habit of picking flowers.

She tries to kill herself for some unknown reason.

Lecia was a young women with blonde hair, she does pick flowers...

I had noticed all this ages ago, yet why couldn't I recognize it ?

She was right in front of me all this time.

She was always happy and cheerful, even when things were hard. But what happened with Mark must have led her to kill herself.

It's a good thing I wasn't a hard-ass about changing the plot because I had changed it without even realizing. Of course, I took the artifact, but I had expected the Messiah to kill herself. Since I intervened even further, she's still alive.

That's good.

'' Sir ?''

Amanda's voice breaks me out of my thoughts and I look up at her,

'' Yes ?''

'' I was wondering..... can't you cure mana coma now ?.... so why don't you use it for helping people who are in the same condition as Lecia was.''

She looks expectantly at me.

I knew this was coming.

'' No.''

'' What ?''

'' I said... no. Now, get out.''

Yikes.

The frown on her face looks scary.

'' Your kindness could save millions.''

Hey, that's a great idea. But,

'' NO.''

She gets out of the office, grumbling something under her breath.

~~~~

It's night time.

I went to Lecia's room and found that she was sleeping.

She had a frown on her face, must be having a nightmare.

I sit on the edge of the bed and hold her hand.

It doesn't matter if she was the Messiah or not..

I've known her only as Lecia and,

Lecia is someone that I will always always love.

Messiah or not.

That's how siblings are, no matter how much you fight, they'll always have your back.

I had told everyone at the mansion to not tell her about the murder at school. She needs rest now, telling her about that would only stress her.

Before she comes back to school, I have to find that killer.

So that it's completely safe for her.

~~~~

I get out of her room and head to my room.

Instead of changing into my pajamas like usual, I change into outdoor clothes.

I get outside the mansion and start running.

After ten minutes of continuous running, I finally reach my destination.

Creed Hospital.

A hospital that was run by the Creed household, meaning me.

Remember the time I promised to do good deeds, so that I could become more kind ?

....

Yeah, me neither.

It's been a month since than and I haven't done a single good deed.

But talking with Amanda gave me an idea.

Why not just cure people with mana coma ?

To compensate for the last month, I have decided to cure all the patients suffering from mana coma in this hospital.

My decision has nothing to do with fact that, my hospital would get famous and earn more money due to this. Kuhum.

I enter the hospital, completely undetected.

~~~~

The next day, I woke up completely refreshed.

It felt good to help people in need.

I had to return to the Unity today.

So, I packed my suitcase once again and said my farewell to everyone in the mansion including Lecia..

I returned to the Unity,

~~~~

I was in class right now.

It seems that Leslie was running late.

I feel a little sleepy, but I decide against it.

'' What did you say to me, you dumb fuck ?''

I turn my head and find that Stephan was fighting with the kid from that day.

No more like... one-sidedly beating him.

It seems that Jeremy's death had made him unhinged.

The boy on the floor has a pathetic expression.

Seeing his condition, a single thought passes through my mind,

'' I haven't done my good deed for the day yet, have I ?''

A smile that some might call, devious appears on my face.
