Consequences.

Everything has consequences.

No matter what it is, it will arrive in your life.

No matter how big or small, it will still give you a headache or a reward.

…

In a dazzling palace-like place. 

A long blonde hair man, who is quite enticing, is sitting on the throne while looking at his subordinates who are currently kneeling in front of him.

"So what was it again? Did something happened?"

"Yes sir. About that man."

"Who?"

He asked confusingly.

"The person you bestowed a title."

"Oh! Ishigami-kun. What was it about him?"

The subordinates couldn't talk for some reason but he still report what he needed to report.

So after gulping his own saliva, he tells it.

"The guardian is already dead."

"Wha—"

The man cannot help but gasp.

As the embodiment of destiny, Destiny can feel many living things dying within 0.001 seconds.

At the same time, he can also feel many living things being born in this universe.

Being the oldest being after the "Origin", he is used to it.

However, hearing that his first friend died already is something shock to his bones.

Being able to feel the dying and being born living things is a good thing but he couldn't tell who exactly dies until his subordinates will tell him, that's why he decided to create an organization so that he could still do his purpose in life, at the same time, he could be lazy for eternity.

But now, this is not the time to be lazy.

"Tell the 10 kings of Yama that I will visit them."

"But sir—"

Destiny looks at his subordinate menacingly.

"I-i understand."

His subordinates don't have any choices.

After all, If he wanted, he can kill them without touching them.

…

At the plaza, Kurumi and Shido are near the water fountain.

Kurumi is dressed in black gothic clothing while Shido is in his casual cyan long-sleeves and blue jeans.

They sit on the nearest bench, having a conversation.

"Do you want to take some food?"

"What are you talking about? We're not there to have a picnic."

"You are too serious."

Shido shook his head.

There is a sudden pause before he continued.

"Do you not want my help?"

"Yeah… If you help me even once I'm gonna hate you."

"You're so cold. I thought you liked me?"

"Shido-san, Can you hear what you said? You're being too narcissistic."

Shido smirk. 

After she said that, he approached her like he was about to kiss her.

Kurumi felt like she is melting and couldn't help but to submit and close her eyes as she wait for him to kiss her lips.

She knows that this will lead her to seal her spirit but she couldn't help but be curious about how this will be good.

From what she knows, kissing means the two parties are having feelings for each other.

It is true but this will lead to seal her spirit so why does she still submit to her curiosity?

The answer is something she still does not realize.

Their lips were about to touch but it didn't land on her lips instead, he whispered to her ears and said, "Am I truly being narcissistic?"

Kurumi got surprised that she got out of her entrancement.

She realized what was going on and immediately stand up to take some distance.

'It's embarrassing! Why am I like this since he let me see his power? Did he do something to me? But what is it?'

Having not too many interactions with boys, Kurumi suspects Shido that he change something about her.

Unfortunately, what she felt is genuine but she still did not recognize this feeling since for the past 25 years, the only emotion that got into her heart is revenge.

Love is like a rosary, truly, what a mystery.

Even she can't get out of it once it merged into her heart.

"Hey Kurumi, Are you not ready?"

Hearing his words, she got out of her own world.

"I-i-i'm ready!"

She stuttered while replying to him.

*Inhale

*Exhale

She takes a breath and relaxes herself.

Her eyes turn serious, having much resolute about what she will do now.

Shido stand up while presenting his hands and said, "Take my hand."

Meanwhile, she answered with a nod and took his hand as they slowly disappeared into this plaza.

No one saw this happen like they didn't exist in the first place since this situation might never be happened after they change the history.
