"Attention everyone as you may have know, A dear student of our school by the name Asagi hiroko has recently passed away"
"Her passing came as a surprised to us and today we are here to pray for her"
After the principal saying it, a lot of students stars to gossip about Asagi hirako death.
"Hey is it true that she was actually murdered ?"
The student besides him answer his question.
"I heard someone said, she was seened covered with blood"
"I can't believe something like that happened on our town"
Another person whispered.
"Such a shame, another complete beauty passed away"
"Yap and on top of having super model like face and body, she's an honored student"
"Yap"
A lot of the student agreed on the person who said a shame for Asagi to passed away.
We're here sitting Infront of Asagi hirako picture funeral with a lot of students, they are confused why does Asagi suddenly passed away and gossiping a lot about how they fee , but they didn't know anything about her besides her general information.
Asagi hirako is the Honor student and one of the most beautiful woman in the entire academy, her silver hair and golden eyes is stand out too much, after all, it's extremely unique, she does had a flawless and perfect shape body, even more alluring and enchanting than most of the woman in the entire world.
And she is also the only person who's been protecting the people here or rather protecting the whole town.
We meet years ago.
...
"Hey are you alright? Hiragi Kai? "
She looked back at me who's sitting on the ground while in the state of shocked on what is the thing who just attacked me.
But I'm more shocked to see the most beautiful woman in our academy, or the goddess of our school is Infront of me and she has killed the monster.
"You're Asagi hirako? Right? Btw how did you know my name? If I am right we're not in the same class"
"Just hirako is fine, uhmm I just got to know your name because of the rumor around you, btw, why are you not moving when the monster is about to killed you?"
Ahh, Kai was stunned after all, he doesn't even noticed that he is just standing in one place without moving while the monster is about to killed him.
"You know the rumor right? Probably it's the reason why I'm not moving haha"
Kai carelessly laught dryly.
"You mean the rumors about you being son of a Yakuza or some kind of underground leader like mafia?"
"Yes, because of that rumors a lot of my friends start to distance themselves from me and it also happened on the other people around me, and even the teacher doesn't believe on whatever I said though, the rumors isn't entirely wrong, I'm really the son of a boss"
He unconsciously said all of the worried and anxiety he's keeping hidden at the bottom of his hearts on the woman Infront of him who is listening carefully and wants to know his story.
When he's done speaking, Asagi hirako casually say.
"Is that a problem? It's not like you can't live without them right? But if you really like to have a friends, then I'm free"
She smiled at me beautifully, like her owned smiled could illuminated the whole world with light, her silver hair is flowing down like a river, as for me, I'm startled on the last sentence she just said, but I quikly brush that words in my mind and try to find a new topic.
"Hey what is that thing? The thing that just attack me?"
She look at me for a moments and starts to speak with great interest.
"That thing is called [Akuma] they are disgusting monster who like to cause havoc in the town, they're considered as unpredictable natural dangers, the sudden death of people,animal,tree basically any living being without any lead, the sudden cause of death, and etc is cause by these things, without being seen, they live off by consuming the life force of human and other living beings
And the responsibility of killing these Akuma falls on me, The descendant of witch."
Then she smiled extremely beautiful, while putting her right hands on her breast, proudly stating that she was The descendant of witch.
And that was the first time I met The witch Asagi hirako.
...
While I was walking, heading towards my owned classroom, a lot of people is looking at me with all kinds of negative expression and they are avoiding me but im used to it so no matter how much they insult me or what, I no longer feel anything.
And then I unexpectedly runs on Hirako who's about to go on her owned classroom like me and then when she saw me, hirako smiled lightly and greet me with a smiled.
"Good morning"
And almost all of the person inside of was stunned, trying to figured out what just happened, they gossip about me and hirako but hirako isn't even affected or bothered in the slightest .
And like what she said about being friends with me, she really didn't back about being friends with me.
....
On the top of their academy, or rooftop I was talking with the goddess of this school, the goddess who liked by everyone, she's sitting on the bench while looking at the sky, I'm he hands there's a hamburger on it while on the other hands is a coke.
"It's better if you don't talked to me at the school or ignored me entirely"
"And why is that?"
She asked.
"I mean being acquaintance with a son of Yakuza boss like me might cause some kind of troubled on you and a misunderstanding."
But the woman Infront of him didn't show any sign of backing down or what.
"Is that all? I think being friends with Yakuza son is cool and also it's pretty dumb because I'm the one who choose to become friends with you so I should take responsibility on any troubled or misunderstanding i got into for becoming friends with you and it's not you who should worry about jt."
"And I become friends with you, because I'm interested in you Hiragi Kai"
I was stunned in everything she just said on me like she really wants to become friends with me but.
" But Asagi"
Asagi hirako glared at him fiercely.
"Hirako"
Kai almost vomit everything he just eat when she hears Asagi hirako commanding him to called her as hirako after all, who wouldn't? She is the goddess of this school, the pride of the academy also there's no other guy calling her Hirako except her closest friends.
So Kai was forced to called her Hirako, or rather it's just excused he comes up with but deep down, he's extremely happy.
".... Then hirako why are you fighting those monsters? Isn't Scary fighting those things?"
"I'm fighting those monsters 'cuz it's my duty to protect the people and killed those thing as the descendant of witch"
And Hirako stopped for moments, she's like thinking of something then she smiled
"It's really scary to fight those creatures however if I don't do it then you would?it's not like a military power of this town could killed them as far as I know, they are immune to any form of weapon damage unless it was made by magic"
"But this town isn't worth to protect "
I said in low tone, buy why did I say that? It's because as the son of one of the largest Yakuza group in the whole country, I naturally had early access in all kinds of evil doing and messed up things in the whole town myself.
For example, the corrupted official, the parents who sell their owned kids, the freeloader person who's taking advantage of everything and not working, those rich folks who's abusing their wealth and status on people below them, the government officials who's always giving my father a gift so he would got a backer, a town full of crimes,those people who constantly blaming the government because of their life status, I was raised in the family who's constantly using violence to solved everything a family who could get everything they want.
But I had a question, as a person raised in the family of mafia and Yakuza combined, why I can't become indifferent like the other family members? Is it because I was raised by my mo----?
While Kai was thinking deeply about his life, Hirako's voice snap him from thinking.
"I do think this town is worth saving despite it's countless flaws, you know? I really like this town to the point I can sacrifice my owned life just to saved it, the bakery where they bake my favorite cake, the pastry shop where my favorite sweets is being made, the animal I always see on my way home, the park where I can see and feel the kids playing around happily, the tranquil feeling of the night, the smiled of the neighbors, the greetings of other people, and etc which makes this town so beautiful for me"
" I guess you can called me naive girl or whatever you wants after all you clearly saw every dirty andnbad sides of the town but it's still worth to protect, I believe God doesn't create perfect things or no one is perfect, everything has a flaw to balance the world and as for me, when I decides to love this town or something, I clearly embrace and loved it's flaw also."
Kai was astonished on Hirako's speech like it's so genuine.
"How about you come with me? I would like to show you the good sides of the town at least before you decides to think that this town isn't worth saving"
Hirako is like a light in Kai eyes, she's like a goddess who descends from the heaven to saved him and gave a colored on his gray world, a person who gives him the reason to live, a person he treats as his sun from the depths of abyss.
From that point onwards, she showed me all kinds of fun thing about the town for example going out in amusement park, playing a game, shopping, fishing, swimming, we even hike together, and she introduced me in all of her favorite shop and restaurants, she even introduce me in her neighbored, and on her friends kid, even those animal she really loves, we even went on sea just to scuba diving and letting me see the rich marine ecosystem and life, even going on haunted house at 12 am just to explored, and lastly we go in the forest because hirako said, she would like to let me see a beautiful view of the town and scenery.
I starts to see the town in completely different light, and it become more and more prettier no rather everything we does, it only improved the way I see the town a little bit but the person who become prettier and prettier in my sight is none other than Asagi hirako.
Without noticing it, even just by walking side by sides with her while she's patrolling can make me really happy, I can't explain how happy I am just by walking besides her.
For the past 1 years of her showing me everything she thinks I would like and how she exterminates those monsters, how she saved the lives of people, how she uses magic, when she talk about the mana, how she's able to fight all those monster by herself, and finally how difficult dealing with them.
For the past 1 years, we grow closer and closer, i could confidently say, I'm her closest best friends right now.
"Hey you know? I just realized it's much more fun to patrolled and protect the town with someone by yourself"
"Just say you don't want to be alone"
"Ehh, your really no fun Kai haha, btw, would you like to continue what we're doing? Even though I think your view towards our town become much more better, but I want to continue us like this after all I'm having more fun when I'm with you"
She smiled bright while saying those things, it's clearly Hirako enjoy being with me, but I do think I'm the one who really enjoy these past years like it's the most happiest parts of my life.
"I guess, I can't help it if you say 'I'm having more fun when I'm with you'"
I said playfully while teasing her, Hirako's face become extremely red then she turned her face so I could no longer see him.
"You had learn to tease me huhhhh"
She said blushingly.
...
At the same time without me noticing it, I starts to asked questions, her as a 'witch' had a duty to fullfil, it is their lifelong and generational duty assigned from the goddess who gives them the power which is protecting the whole town and saving the lives of countless person.
Then wouldn't you Hirako just a normal high schooler who likes sweets and junk foods?.
In that cased, Asagi Hirako who's going to protect or saved you when your the one who needs it?.
"I repeatedly tell you that your duty is important but, your life is much more important than your duty , I always saying that you should prioritize your life before anything like dammit why won't you just listen on me?!?!"
"Hahaha sorry I messed up really bad"
She said and laught dryly while looking on the guy who's crying Infront of him, Hirako right now is covered with blood, her stomach is torn apart while her left hands is trying to hold it, and other hand is nowhere to be found, after all, it was eaten by the monster, hirako is becoming paled and cold as the time passed, her injured can't no longer healed by magic or anything after all, she's beyond saving.
"D-dont say any more words, I'm going to call my dad he should be able to provide as the most excellent doctor in the world and all types of machinery just to keep you alive"
I said helplessly while holding the blooded Hirako in his left arms, and the other hand is trying to make a call with his dad.
"Don't waste your time, you already know it right? The weakness of witch lays in their hearts right? So you don't need to make a call with y..r d..d"
Just by few words, Kai could instantly tell Hirako is slowly losing breath and even trying to gathered air is extremely hard for her after all, her lungs was completely destroyed alongside her hearts.
Countless warm tears is dropping from hmthe guy Infront of him.
"Seriously? On the other day your able to make me blush but why are you crying baby now?"
She jokingly.
Kai even cry louder and harder while hearing hirako's voice that becoming weaker and weaker every words she said.
"Please don't say any more words, I know your a naive one and selfless person but, you should also know there's a lot people that doesn't want you to die for example me, what am I gonna do when you die? Like your the only reason why I'm still alive until now!!"
Hirako was taken aback, and then she tried smiled meaningfully, instead of holding the torn apart stomach of her, she take of her earrings and gave the another one on Kai.
Then, Hirako every strength she could mustered up just to hug Kai using her left hands and when kai noticed what she's trying to do, he himself the one who hug hirako tightly.
While gathered every bit of her strength and finally, she's able to whispered something on Kai ears.
"Can I request you to protect the town that I really loved?, the earrings had probably enough mana stored on it to keep the whole town safety for the next 10 years and thank you for always being with me in these past years, it's really the most happiest parts of my life and remember what you just said before? Please applied it on your-----"
Hirako had finally step on her last breathd as she lost every vitality and life of herself, Kai slowly took off the earrings from her left hands and still the young man was covered with Hirako's blood while his face is still shedding a tears.
"Until the last moment of your life, your still concerned with me, you know that when your goned, my reason to lived will also gone so you purposely gave me another reason to continue my lived"
Then April 24 2023, The witch Asagi Hirako passed away and a monster was born.
