Start By Becoming Mangaka 1017 The night isn't over yet (Patreon)

Yuuki took a deep breath before he felt that he was very tired. The Demon King of the Sixth Heaven that he had created disappeared making them come back to their world. 

Fenrir, Bikou, and Arthur also had woken up slowly from the magic of Aži Dahāka. 

"Huh? What is happening?" Bikou looked around with a stupid expression. 

Yuuki didn't say anything and only sat down on the outer part of the Hanging Garden of Babylon. He never expected the battle would be this hard. He really underestimated the power of evil dragons. 

"You alright?" Vali asked. His body had been healed by Yuuki and even though he was tired, he didn't feel uncomfortable. 

"I am alright. Just give me time to rest for a few minutes," Yuuki answered. He laid down while trying to relax. He was in the sky now and he could see the stars clearly from this place. He had to admit the scenery in front of him was very beautiful and this life was also wonderful, but the feeling of the woman earlier was really unforgettable for him. 

"Ugh, the magic of that dragon is scary," Bikou said while holding his head. 

"Woof!" Fenrir also nodded when he heard it. 

"It gives everyone false hope from the deepest part of their desire," Arthur said. 

They didn't need to ask each other about what they had seen in that place since it was only a fake. 

"Yuuki, nyaa!" Kuroka ran and jumped into him.

"Ugh!" Yuuki felt that his solar plexus was hit by Kuroka. Then suddenly he was hugged tightly by this cat girl on his neck that made it hard for him to breathe. "Kuroka! Kuroka! I can't breathe!" He suddenly heard her sniff and sighed. He caressed her back slowly and asked, "Are you alright?" 

"Where have you been?!" Kuroka asked with an annoyed tone. 

"I teleported that dragon to my special space," Yuuki said. 

"I - I have thought that you're going to disappear...." Kuroka said with a sob voice. 

"I am not going to disappear." Yuuki tried to calm her down gently and said, "If I disappear then who is going to take care of this naughty cat?" 

Kuroka looked at his face and sobbed for a while. 

"Don't cry, you're going to turn ugly," Yuuki said when he looked at Kuroka's face who seemed to be crying for a while. 

"Who are you calling, ugly, nyaa!" Kuroka was mad and bit Yuuki's shoulder. 

"Don't bite me! You're a cat, not a dog!" Yuuki was helpless at this cat girl. 

Kuroka had calmed herself. She rested her head on Yuuki's chest and hard his heartbeat that was beating normally. She hugged his neck as if afraid to lose him. "You're really not going anywhere, right?" 

"I am not," Yuuki said. 

"Really?" Kuroka asked.

"Really," Yuuki said. 

"You swear?" Kuroka asked. 

"I swear that I won't disappear," Yuuki said. 

"Promise me," Kuroka said. 

"I promise that I won't disappear," Yuuki said. He hugged her waist and said, "We haven't made a kitty either." 

"Hmm..." Kuroka nodded with a smile and hugged him again. 

"......" 

Everyone who saw this scene felt a bit awkward. 

Vali yawned and said, "I am sleepy. I am going to sleep." However, in his mind, he thought that he needed to get stronger than now after he had seen Yuuki's power. 

"Me too," Bikou said and followed Vali. 

"I guess I am also very tired," Arthur said. 

"Let's go back, Fenrir," Le Fay said. 

"Woof." Fenrir barked. 

Jeanne sighed looking at both Yuuki and Kuroka. "You're going to get cold in this place." 

"Hmm..." Yuuki looked at the sky and said, "Let me stay here for a while." 

"What are you doing here, nyaa?" Kuroka asked. 

"Looking at the star," Yuuki answered. 

"Is it fun?" Jeanne asked. 

"Not sure. I guess it depends on the individual," Yuuki answered.

Kuroka didn't think much and looked at the sky. 

Jeanne also joined and laid beside him. 

"Why do you think that I am going to disappear?" Yuuki asked. 

"Not sure. I just get the feeling," Kuroka answered. She looked at him and asked, "You're really not going to disappear, right?" 

"Leaving all of you here? No, I am not going to disappear," Yuuki answered. 

Jeanne didn't say anything, but she moved closer to Yuuki since it felt warmer.

Yuuki had one more quest that he needed to settle, but he wasn't in a hurry since there wasn't any time limit for this quest. He also wasn't sure where the location of this Grendel was since he hadn't seen it. He remembered that Grendel was a dragon that had been slain by Beowulf in the past. 'How come both of them appear?' 

Yuuki knew about Sephiroth Graal that could communicate with the death and life while also knowing the principle of both of them, but he wasn't sure whether this Longinus able to produce dragon's body for both Grendel and Aži Dahāka. He knew that the Khaos Brigade might do something about it and probably it was about a clone or something. He had defeated Aži Dahāka, but it was impossible to kill it since the soul of Aži Dahāka was unable to be killed, but he had made sure that Sephiroth Graal was unable to communicate with Aži Dahāka's soul. 

Yuuki heard a soft breath on both of his sides and saw that both Jeanne and Kuroka had slept using his arms. He only sighed looking at both of them and didn't think too much about his fight again. He wanted to take a rest and have a good sleep. However, it seemed that it was harder than he had thought. 

Yuuki saw that Sona had activated the amulet that he had given to her a few days ago. He knew that something must be happening to her. He stood up while using his magic to bring them up since he didn't want to wake them up. 

"Yuuki, are you going somewhere, nyaa?" Kuroka had woken up when Yuuki used his magic on her. 

"There is one more problem. I'll go back when it's over," Yuuki said. 

"I'll go with you, nyaa," Kuroka said. 

Yuuki nodded and said, "Sure, let's go." 

"How about Jeanne, nyaa?" Kuroka asked. 

Yuuki looked at Jeanne and said, "Let's bring her." He was wondering whether he should wake her up in a rude or gentle way.
