" what do you mean you stopped it.."

" just like I said I stopped it "

"hmm"

yukkuri moan because of anger but he calm down.....he knows that he needs to be patient when dealing with the boy. so he took a deep breath and exhale it to calm his head and heart .......

" can you please elaborate it a little sir"

the boy look at yukkuri with it's eyes wide open in surprised........he look surprised on yukkuri suddenly calling him sir.....the boy smile genuinely.......

" hmmm call me master if you want to know what I meant "

"💢 yes please tell me master"

yukkuri said in a slight angry voice while bowing.. he swallow his anger towards the boy.....

upon seeing yukkuri calling him master and bowing towards him..the boy smile widely Even more......

" just like I said earlier I stopped it.... well let me tell the story from the start..............as you know I am the sage of death....so I am kinda sensitive when it comes to humans lifespan..in other words or more like to put it simply I can feel when the person was about to die...."

" when they were about to die"

" yeah when they were about to die.......... your death and the girl death I Know all of it.........when I first laid my eyes on that girl you call kaede I see and feel her death was close...."

" then what do you mean by you stopped her death!!!!!"

" hmmmmm"

" I I mean please master tell me!!!".

yukkuri said in a very nervous tone.....

then he see the boy that he called master pointing his finger towards him.....

" me"

yukkuri said in a shaky voice.he didn't know why he's master pointed at him......

the boy smile annoyingly at yukkuri who's still can't guess the answer.....

" ha. ... what I mean is that the two of you have interwined death...."

" interwined"

" yeah I feel that if you die she will also die ....... that's why you being alive right now was supposed to stop her death"

........

" why, why she would die if I died...... "

yukkuri ask in a confused manner he look like he really didn't know why kaede will die if he died.....

when the boy look at the face of yukkuri he scoffed..and smile bitterly...

" hmm you don't know what can someone do when they are in love....they could conquer anything you know..... even Death it's self.........she sure love you very much that she's willing to follow you too the afterlife huh....."

" so you mean she will commit suicide just for me"

yukkuri look at kaede's corpse on the bed while his whole body was shaking because of all the emotions his felling right now.....

the boy look at yukkuri coldly for some reason all of the sudden....

then yukkuri who's busy with all the emotions that he's feeling suddenly felt a cold gaze was looking at him so he quickly look at the direction of the cold gaze he's feeling then he see the boy looking at him......

" you sure are lucky.......I really envy you.the woman that you love is willing to die.. just to be with you........I am really envious that I wanted to kill you and torture you a million times you know hahaha."

after that the boy smile once again...

but even the boy smile again.. yukkuri feel that the boy was really envious of him..and that he really meant about killing him a million times....

yukkuri felt the hair's in his neck standing up....

" well putting aside my jealousy..... like I said I stopped her death through suicide..."

" do you mean that she did really die because of an acc-"

before yukkuri continue to speak ..he felt a cold gaze again...so he look at the boy looking at him with irritated expression.......

" Don't you dare say that it's an accident, coincidence or it's fate.... don't you even dare said that maybe it's the will of the gods...... because if you say that I feel like you're insulting me .......,I already said to you that I already stopped her death. by keeping you alive........."

yukkuri was lost for words at the boy explanation and he noticed something that make him angry ........

" M-.. Master do you mean that....."

yukkuri Said in a shaky voice full of hatred....

upon seeing this the boy smile and nodded at yukkuri...

" yeah just probably what you are thinking......she was killed......or would you like me to call it murdered.."

when yukkuri hear the boy....all of his anger towards the boy vanished....then all his anger was being directed to the car driver that hit kaede who's still at large........

" that bastard I will find him.and...."

" well, well let's calm down a little bit my student let's not be to Hasty on blaming others......who knows maybe the driver was not the murderer...maybe he was just hired..or just an accomplice or maybe his innocent 😇......or maybe he or she is the murderer itself...."

yukkuri bit down at his lips...he was embarrassed by his way of thinking he didn't think about the other possibilities around and just let his emotions take over him.......

he sighs and calm down and look at the boy who's smiling towards him......

" but ..I don't know why or what is the reason for kaede's Death....I cannot think of any reason why would someone kill kaede...."

yukkuri look at the boy who also look at him......

upon seeing yukkuri's face the boy look away from him and look at the direction of kaede's corpse......

" .hmm well I don't want to admit it myself but.your friend there my student is very beautiful.so very pretty.. ..... .... she's probably the second woman who makes my heart beat faster..... but don't worry my student I didn't have a slightest interest in her...........I just appreciate her beauty. she's like a flower......... there's probably many greedy man out there confess their love to her or maybe to court her...but knowing your friend who's madly in love and horny for you ☺️..she probably rejected their confession and advances towards her...she shut them down instantly without even the slightest consideration...and she probably never tell them the reason why she would never accept their love......... I can't probably count how many men out there who's hearts and pride are broken to pieces because of her ....... it's no weird that some of them may hold a grudge or Ill intention towards her...."

" so your saying that the murderer was a boy."

yukkuri look at the boy while clenching his fist harder..he's trying to calm his anger....

when the boy see this he smile and shake his head.....

" no it's not only limited to the mens only.... it's also the probability that the culprit was a woman..... there's probably many girls out there who's jealous of your friend beautiful face and features.....they also probably jealous on the attention that your friend was getting.....you see student of mine. jealously is a very ugly thing..........for my opinion the moment you became jealous for someone or something and you became greedy for something or someone.. your already an evil person.no matter how petty it is.......you Will accomplished what ever you wanted to satisfy those desires.....and it will escalate to the point that you will need to kill someone to satisfy your greed and jealousy................."

after hearing the boy yukkuri look down on the floor, grits his teeth hard and clench his fist until his nails burrow to his skin and flesh. making his hand bleed....

" just because of that.... just because of simply jealousy...."

when the boy hear yukkuri mumbling to himself ....

he slowly get closer to yukkuri and speak..

" yeah just because of that your friend their die

..............I want you to remember this student of mine engraved it your memory and soul... that greed and jealousy can kill anyone..It can bring death to a king, a hero , a country , a kingdom,the whole world and even the gods themselves cannot escape it... also that goes without saying to myself.......make sure to remember that... "

yukkuri silently nodded his head at what the boy said......

then a couple of seconds yukkuri look at the boy who's calling him master seriously and speak.......

" uhh.. master!! "

" what ???"

" I Know it's shameful to ask you about this but can you do something to kaede,"

" and what do you mean by that something ha"

the boy look at yukkuri curiously on what he just said......

when yukkuri see the expression on his master he quickly swallow all his nervousness and answer.........

" you have heal my incurable illness.....so maybe you have a way to ........."

yukkuri didn't even finish what he's about to say...he thought to himself that he's asking to much... .

when the boy notice on what's happening he smile widely and laugh to his heart content......

"hahahahhahahahahahah hahahahah........ first of all student of mine. don't assume that I cure your illness.. I am not that nice of a person"

" ehh if you don't heal me then how -??".

yukkuri stoped talking all of the sudden he just remembers the introduction of the boy that he call master....the sage of Death..

' Don't Tell me that I died and he bring back to -'

yukkuri look at the boy after he thought of something..he started to sweat and his hand started to shake....

" then....master did you..-"

the boy look at the stuttering yukkuri and smile happily....

"yeah just like what you are probably thinking..you died last night..and I the sage of Death the death incarnate bring you back to life that night..."

yukkuri eyes widened on what the boy said he's mouth also was wide open because of shock....... but despite being mentally shock.

yukkuri still manage to ask a question .......he suddenly think of this question when the boy his master mentioned that he resurrected him.......

" then that means master you can also do the same to kaede please can you save kaede.....I will do everything you want me to do for the rest of my life......so please"

yukkuri bow deeply to his master ....

" that is impossible"

" eh what!!!!!. do you mean impossible master"

yukkuri quickly raise his head and look at the boy with disappointed expression..

" what I meant by that is... it's impossible for me to resurrect your friend... right now"

" then you can resurrect her later"

" ahh sorry my bad ..... i mean. i cannot resurrect her anymore..."

" ehh what do you mean"

" well I word it wrong..... it's More like I cannot do it anymore"

"that's .....do you mean that you can only resurrect one person only......then if possible please kill me and transfer my life to kaede please....."

yukkuri look at his master with pleading eyes...

asking his master to resurrect kaede in exchange of his life......

but when yukkuri look at his master his pleading eyes meet the cold gaze of his master...for some reason he felt that his whole body was being frozen.......

" don't belittle me student of mine...I can only resurrect one person don't make me laugh...... if all the people on this country. no if all inhabitants of this world died I the sage of Death can bring them back to life easily...."

" then-"

"but just like I said earlier I cannot do it anymore........ your probably thinking why right.."

"yes"

" hahahaha... that's because student of mine just like your friend their..I am also dead already............ more precisely I died last night..."

" eh... then why are you standing in front of

me......"

" hahahahah I am telling the truth I am really already Dead...the me that you seeing and hearing right now was just all in your head........"

" then you died and ......"

" bingo.... I resurrect you using my on life....also in other words I killed my self in order to resurrect you.....and I give you everything I have .....all my power...... also all of my suffering"

" then you mean earlier that you cannot resurrect kaede because your already dead.."

" Yes "

" I thought that you can easily resurrect many people then why did you die resurrecting me""

" well I just didn't resurrect you Normally student of mine remember that I said to you that I give you my powers....well that's not all but I think I will not tell it to you today.......but don't worry I will tell it to you sometime..."

yukkuri look at his master dumbfounded he was thinking that he should pry more and ask about his resurrection but.......but he remembers kaede so he suddenly ask.

" then when you said that you gave me' everything including your power.........is that means that I can also resurrect kaede..."

yukkuri look at his master with full of conviction and Will power..

when his master see the look on yukkuri's face he smile warmly as he answer.....

" yeah you can "

" then I will b-.."

" but you also can't do it in your current condition"

"eh what "

" you don't know how to use magic in the first place so how will you do it........so it's impossible for now..."

" then please teach me master I'm begging!!"

" hmmmmm....no...I meant it it's to early for you.....I can just transfer the spell in your head in this instance and you could already learned it a couple of seconds but you will regret using that... especially you just came back to life..."

" I think I can endure anything so please teach me"

" hmmmmm.... before that I would like to ask you student of mine..."

"what is it..you can ask me anything ...."

" how would you like your friend to be resurrected.."

"ehh how.... what do you mean master".

" hmmm.... instead of asking how......to make it easy for the both of us I will make you choose on how would you like your friend to be resurrected"

" choose??".

" yeah I will let you choose..........I know you love your friend and she also love you back...you both love each other..and you probably want to monopolize her love to yourself.....so if you want to be with her forever. then I will highly recommend you the method number 1....................and you probably don't know what's waiting for you after All off this. so I will say it to you student of mine your life will became miserable...and I bet that you don't want kaede became part of your miserable life so. if you want her to have a normal life then I will greatly recommend method number 2...no I don't want to recommend it to you..I would want you to choose the method number 2.... "

"master can you elaborate more ?!"

"what do you mean?

" I mean on what you said on method 1.... what do you mean if I want to be with her forever...."

" hmmm....well you will make her also immortal like your self.... something like that "

" immortal.... me"

"yeah you're not just resurrected by me....... remember that I say to you that I give you my life and power...... we'll this is the life of a sage of Death...."

"hmm is that so.....then what's the catch on it.......I don't think that you can make someone immortal for free...."

" well it's not really a big deal it's not important"

" I still want to know"

" hmmm.... it's just that all of her emotions and feelings will be gone....."

"what "

" well don't worry it's not like it will vanished completely sorry I didn't explain it properly........I mean that All off her emotions will be directed only to you student of mine..."

"all on me"

" yeah all on you.......she will not feel sad if her friends or family die....she will just focus her emotions on you ....... well it's More like your making a slave for yourself instead of making her immortal...."

"that's"

" well that's not All off it"

"what"

yukkuri look at his master with shaking eyes.

he's not even manage to clearly process what his master was saying.....

and now his master was saying that there's more.so yukkuri was looking at his master with dumbfounded expression on his face......

"well it's the last actually.....but before that student of mine let me ask you a simple question..........do you believe in second life...."

" what do you mean by second life"

"hmm I meant that if someone died their soul will going to be reborn again or their soul will reincarnate .... something like that"

" yeah I believe in those"

" is that so then let me tell it to you student of mine once kaede your friend the woman you love.. been resurrected by using your magic her soul will not going to the cycle of life so remember that....."

" that"

" and also remember and don't be mistaken student of mine that if you make him immortal that doesn't mean that she will never die again...... what I meant by her becoming immortal is that she will not age and she will became young forever until someone kill her ..........and it's also apply to you student of mine...."

"..........."

yukkuri answer with silence on what his master said to him..and continue to look on kaede's corpse....

" now then student of mine.. yukkuri Tanaka let me ask you one more question"

yukkuri quickly shifted his gaze to his master..and answer...
