[Discontinued] Date A Mysterious Being

Chapter 44 - Devil

The next day. After Lucas reached school with Kurumi, Kaguya and Yuzuru, he let out a loud yawn, when he reached his own seat.
Shidou, who was sitting right next to him, opened his eyes in wonder.

"Are you okay, Lucas?"

"Aah...I couldn't sleep last night because I had some work to do...." Lucas said, and let his head fall on the desk with a bang.

"Hey hey. You should take time off school like you always did when you had work to do."

"I'm fine missing a night of sleep.." Lucas said, not even moving his head for an inch. He looked like a dead corpse of a student.

"..................." Lucas slightly turned his head to the left, to the seat left to his. The seat that Origami used in the forgotten world.

---The reason for his lack of sleep was obvious. The reason was Tobiichi Origami. It would've been a whole lot better if the reason was because Lucas had an exploding love interest in Origami and couldn't sleep because of it. But reality wasn't that sweet.

The video Kotori showed yesterday. The unidentified Spirit - Devil - shown inside, was definitely Tobiichi Origami. What's more, she was not a normal Spirit - but an inverse-type.

"I don't get it."

In the world 5 years ago, Lucas should have succeeded in changing history. Origami should be living as a normal girl in a normal world.

But even so................Just what happened to make Origami turn into a Spirit? And why was she inversed?

Furthermore, judging by what Kotori said, Origami attacked other spirits. If that's the case then it's no different than the time she was with the AST.

And, Devil will disappear when the Spirit got Lost. Thanks to that, the city didn't suffer that many damages.

His head hurt because there were many things he don't know. Just what happened in these 5 years and this world? Lucas scratched his head.

"Damn it............why is that the only.........."

He recalled back another action he took yesterday while saying that in irritation.

The other action Lucas took. That was to collect as much information of this world as possible.

---The moment he found out about Origami in this world, endless amount of uneasiness and questions filled his mind.

He thought that just maybe; events different from the one in Lucas' memories might have occurred in this world and he does not know about it. Or maybe--- events that should happen never happened at all.

Lucas went to Fraxinus to look deeper into the database and found something.

He found out that the flow of history in this world almost matches with his memories.

Kotori turned into a Spirit 5 years again, and found Ratatoskr.
On 10th of April, Shidou met Tohka and sealed her.

After that, Shidou sealed Yoshino, Lucas sealed the Yamai Sisters, the battle with DEM, Lucas' death and revival, and the sealing event for Miku and Natsumi. Everything matches exactly to what Lucas knew.

Yes---beautifully leaving out the relations with Tobiichi Origami.

While he was thinking, the chime signifying the start of class time rang and the door opened with his homeroom teacher Tama entering the room. They stood up when they were told to, and bowed before sitting back down.

"Okay, good morning everyone. Let's work hard for today as well." Tama said that with a smile. But Lucas didn't hear most of her words. He looked out the window blankly while resting his chin on his hand.
