The Search for Freedom

I had forgotten to take the guitar, but I knew I wouldn't need it anymore. Not because I didn't know how to play that instrument, but because I was already powerful without it. I'm just curious where it went, because after I fought with the boy, it also disappeared from where it was. Maybe it was also sent with him to the place where Alicia's master brought his spirit.

Alicia told me something about the sixth person who was destined to fight me. She said that the next person was a girl who had the power of fire bangles. A girl who could create fire through using her bangles which she always wore wherever she went.

"Kaila, you're so clever, and I know that you already know how to kill that girl without my help, right?" Alicia asked.

"Yeah, of course you're right. I don't need your help anymore. Just leave her to me if you want," I replied with a sweet smile.

I didn't think it would be difficult for me to kill that bangles girl, but I knew there was always a way to defeat the enemy. And that way was to take her bangles and, the same with those people I had already killed, she would become weak. However, I couldn't judge her early because I haven't seen her appearance yet and she might be strong and powerful too.

I wasn't sure how that girl could start fires with her bangles, but because everything seemed possible in the world where I belonged, it wasn't impossible that someone could do something with small things. After the fan girl, the guitar boy, and now the bangles girl, perhaps my next enemies were earrings girl, ring man, hairpin woman, handkerchief boy, etcetera etcetera.

Someone couldn't judge things as small because there were many impossible things could happen because of them. As for my father's statement that everyone could not be judged through their looks, then I believed it wasn't just everyone, but everything.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

I had been in the park where the bangles girl was. I came there alone, because Alicia told me she would be searching for the seventh person for the same reason she always told me. To make my mission easier and faster, we could also take our freedom as fast as we do everything about killing those people.

Without anything else, I did what I needed to do there. I used the power of the fan to avoid the fireballs coming from the girl's bangles. I avoided all the fireballs she threw towards me. She wasn't totally that strong, because she looked weak and couldn't move fast, as she would only fall down when I threw her a strong wind from the powerful fan.

That girl wasn't totally beautiful, and her looks were not interesting because she had a burnt face. Maybe it was caused by her own power, that if she could not control it, she would get burned. I really felt the warmness. Even her fireballs were just passing by me. I was so quick when I move, and she was surprised, because she couldn't hit me with her fireballs.

While fighting the bangles girl, there were many people who were watching us fight. Instead of stopping us from fighting, they seemed to make me and the girl into female cocks because they were betting between us on who would win. Although they could not get near because of the fires coming out from the girl's bangles. They were afraid of being burnt or thrown to the next town as a result of my powerful fan.

Killing the bangles girl was just a piece of cake. I wasn't bragging, but my speed was comparable to that of lightning, and she couldn't catch me as I was faster than her blink. She dropped down when I kicked her in the center of her thigh. Maybe it was painful, because I saw her face puckered. The place seemed to be flooded of the tears streaming down from her eyes. She looked pitiable, but there was nothing else I could do, because her life was one of the keys to the door of my freedom.

The people screamed out of surprise when they saw I had totally ended the life of the girl. I thought it was my end, because there were too many people who saw the crime I committed, but then I was grateful when Alicia arrived at the right time. She used her power to freeze them. They couldn't speak or move.

Then Alicia bragged: she said that I would had become famous if she did not came at the right time. I would become a famous serial killer, that might be what she meant. But not just because I killed many people, it was because of my wonderful powers.

After Alicia offered the spirit of the girl to her master, the corpse also disappeared as a sign that her spirit had been accepted by Alicia's master. The foolish version of Alicia showed up again as she asked me what we were going to do to those people who had witnessed my fights with the bangles girl. Of course, I was slever, and because of that, I told her to remove their memories of the fight that happened. Then my problem was over when Alicia followed my order to remove their memories. Those people went back to their houses as if nothing had happened.

"Woo-hoo!" I jumped in relief.

My sweat never fell down even though I fought with the bangles girl for an hour. We had been throwing winds and fireballs at each other, and I felt like I was already in hell. "Finally, the fight is over. What we should do is go to the seventh person who was destined to fight me," I said.

Alicia replied, "You're doing a good job. I hope it will continue until the hundredth person, so that we can be free quickly."

"So, what are we waiting for? Let's go to the next, so that we can't waste a second just standing here."
