The Path To The Top

Chapter 5: Harmony



The next morning

Our protagonists hear the sounds of Mother Irene screaming

Mother: "Wake up you brats!"

Mirage: "more 5 minutes... Zzzzzzz"

Damian: "yeah, just 5 more... Zzzzzzz"

The mother was irritated by their boldness, so the Mother transforms into her hybrid form and hits both of them on the head.

Mother:"I said it now!!"

*Bammm!!!*

Dami and Mira: "Ouch!"

After receiving After this blow, they both get up with a huge bump on their heads, still a little drowsy and looking at the opposite side of Mother Damian says

Damian: "did anyone write down the license plate of this train that hit me?"

And Mirage, who was looking at Damian, saw the mother behind him and says

Mirage:"don't worry Dami, I wrote it down *points* and the license plate is Mother"

Damian: "Really? *Turns around* what's that for, M?"

Mother: "that's It was because of yesterday, you almost worried me to death"

Mirage:"well, about that... it was more Tristan's fault than ours"

Mother: "Oh, please. If only you had hurried up, you wouldn't be in trouble. Now both of you are grounded."

Dami and Mira, hearing this, couldn't help but mentally laugh and mock the Mother.

Because this isn't the first time they've been grounded, But it never works, they always find a way to escape

Dami and Mira:"oh nooooo~ *mocking*"

Mother: "without this mockery, because this time it's serious!"

Damian:"so what is it this time? No recess?*sneer*"

Mirage:"oh no, Dami will she take away the dessert?*sneer*"

Mother:"*irritated* you are at the limit of my patience... *Sigh* honestly I was thinking about arresting you -"

Mira and Dami: "what do you mean!"

Mother: "can you guys let me finish"

Dami and Mira: "it was bad"

Mother: "so continuing... Tristan told me that Damian took very good care of him and you Mirage, when you were passed out, so Tristan suggested that I leave you with him as punishment"

Damian:"it could be worse... Right, Mira?*whisper*"

Mirage:"it could, but I think we won't be able to leave for a while *whisper* "

Damian:"true*whisper* okay Mother, we agree to go with Tristan"

When the mother hears Damian's response, she gets angry and says

Mother:"*irritated* what do you mean 'accept'? You didn't listen? you have no choice! either go with Tristan or be stuck in the dorms for a month, that's not a choice! it's a punishment! Do you understand?"

Damian and Mirage, listening to Mother Irene's anger, decided not to give her a heart attack and stopped for free and apologized

Dami and Mira: "I'm sorry Madre..."

Mother: "Tristan must be in the cafeteria now, go help him"

The two were leaving the infirmary, but they stopped before the last step and turned around and said goodbye to Mother.

Damian:"until the next punishment, Mother"

Mirage: "and take care about your pressure, I think you're getting really irritated these days"

And without even waiting for Mother's response, the two ran to the refectory, while Mother shouted again.

Mother: "and whose fault is it that I'm irritated, eh!!!?"

On the way to the cafeteria

Damian and Mirage are running to the cafeteria until Mirage speaks

Mirage: "what a chat as it the one about you taking care of me and Tristan?"

Damian:"man, you know Tristan, he must have exaggerated, I just carried you two alone, almost all the way to the orphanage"

Mirage:"and you carry it like your ass, my back hurts like hell right now"

Damian: "You can stop fussing, without me, you'd be eating grass now, you've already tried to carry two unconscious people alone?"

Mirage: "Now you're the one who's fussing, look at your size, it's about two times taller than me and Tristan isn't even that big"

When Mirage finished complaining, Damian noticed that they arrived at the cafeteria door and decided to leave this fight for later.

Damian: "We're here, let's leave this for later, okay?"

Mirage: "okay"

When they open the door and enter the cafeteria, they see chaos, pure chaos, there was a plate on the floor, food in the air, and Tristan with about 5 children on top of him, so Damian and Mirage went to help him

Tristan:"hey! Kids, please get off, I need to eat breakfast"

Tristan, when he finished speaking, no longer felt any weight on him and looked up to see Damian holding 4 children each in one hand and Mirage carrying the last one.

Mirage: "get up Tristan"

Damian: "i don't believe... you can't handle little children, how humiliating..."

Upon hearing the two, Tristan quickly stands up with a red face of embarrassment, as he needed help from two people younger and smaller than him, but he remembers why they were there and tries to regain his composure and speaks

Tristan: "so... have you guys already talked to Mother?"

Mira and Dami: "already/yes"

Tristan: "so any questions?"

Mirage: "well some, like... every day is this chaos?"

Tristan:"What do you mean? Don't you guys have breakfast in the cafeteria?"

Mirage: "yes, but normally when we get here, there's no one left"

Tristan:"true... I had forgotten that you arrive later, since you are usually either sleeping because you arrived late or Mother is arguing with you guys during these hours"

Damian:"let's leave that aside, okay? And let's move on to the next question, what happened to that one? *pointing*"

Hearing what Damian said, the two turned to where he was pointing and saw a little human girl around 3 years old with golden blonde hair that reached the end of her back... But there was something strange, she had a dead look. almost soulless and in the midst of this chaos she was... quiet and, upon seeing who Damian was talking about, Tristan speaks

Tristan: "her? To be quite honest, I don't even know her name, she arrived here, i don't think it's even been a week and she doesn't talk to anyone, she just keeps mumbling"

Damian: "I wonder? that's interesting but I'll leave that for later *whisper*"

Even though Mirage was whispering, he could hear it because of his mink hearing and whispered back. for Damian

Mirage:"what do you mean, Dami? *whisper*"

Damian: "I'll talk to you later *whisper* so I think that's all the questions for now, so what do we have to do, Tristan?

A while later

After helping Tristan clean up the war field that was the cafeteria, while the three of them were putting away their cleaning things to leave, they noticed the presence of the blonde girl, seeing that she hasn't left yet, they approach her and Tristan tries to talk to her

Tristan:"hey, it's past breakfast time, now it's time to go play outside"

?????(blonde):"..."

Seeing that it didn't work, Tristan asks Mirage to try to talk to her

Mirage:"Hello, are you okay?"

???:"..."

Upon returning defeated, Tristan and Mirage are thinking of some way to make the girl respond. them, so when they were going to ask Damian to try, they realized that he was already going, and seeing that he was raising his hand, they both went quickly to try to stop.

Between Damian and ???

When Damian arrives at the girl, he pats her on the back and says

Damian: "hey stupid blonde, how are you?"

???:"... oh hey ?????(Damian's true name)..."

Damian: "bingo!"

Between Tristan and Mirage

To the seeing this scene, Tristan and Mirage stopped in surprise, but for different reasons, Tristan was surprised by the way Damian handled the situation and how he managed to get her to speak for the first time in a week here, but Mirage was already static thinking

Mirage:'so that's what Dami was talking about about her being "interesting"? but even so, how did he know she would react to be called stupid blonde? and even more so speaking of Dami's true name?, what is the possibility of her being someone we know?...calm down, it can't be, right? The only person who would react to being called a stupid blonde is ???????, but isn't she like that, she is emotional? yes, but not depressed, what happened to her?'

While the two were there in the moon world, Damian and the blonde They were having one of the strangest conversations of their lives.

Damian: "so, how was it?"

????:"... How was what?..."

Damian: "ah, you know, all this stuff about reincarnating in another world and stuff"

????:"... Well, at first I thought it was cool and stuff, but... I don't want to talk about it now, and apparently you're doing well, ?????"

Damian:"Ah, please stop calling me ????, My name is Damian now, but you can call me Dami... Ah! I forgot to ask your name"

When she hears Dami's question, she looks distant, it even seems like... Oh no, it can't be... It's a flashback!!!

In a hospital room, a woman with a baby on her lap, who for some reason, even though he had just been born, had not yet made a single sound, but even so with this strange event that would scare normal people, the woman had a smile brighter than gold itself and said

Oriana: "What a cute little girl, even if she's quieter than a rock... it's like a perfect harmony... Ahhhh! *Scream in surprise* I'm a genius!!! *Lifting her up* Allana! That's your name *putting her down again* so little Allana, Do you want to know what your name means?"

Little Allana looks at her mother with a certain curiosity in her eyes, which Oriana interprets as a yes and explains to the little girl.

Oriana:"Allana can mean both beautiful and rock, but it also means harmony, so grow to be the biggest and most beautiful of the mountains, so be strong and grow"

After hearing these words, Allana's face lit up. in a smile

Oriana: "ahhhhhhhh*scream of excitement* how cute!!"

While Allana was having her moment, Damian went to talk to Tristan and Mirage who were standing there in silence.

Damian:"hey Tristan... (Nothing from Tristan) Tristan...(nothing new) Tristan!!!"

After the small scream, Tristan woke up and answered Damian

Tristan:"ah! What's wrong Damian?"

Damian:"Do you need help now?"

Tristan:"hmmm... Well, not now, why?"

Damian:"because of that blonde over there, Mira and I, will have a talk with her"

Tristan:"ahh... Well, you were supposed to be grounded now... and your punishment is to help me... but helping the other children is my responsibility too... hmmm~ Okay, you can go, just don't go far away and don't delay, I'll need your help of you at lunch"

Damian: "okay, lunch time"

After that, Tristan leaves the cafeteria and goes to see the children outside and Damian went to talk to Mirage who also woke up to Damian's scream

Damian: "so, shall we go?" *Pointing to Allana*

Mirage: "Okay, but can you tell me how you knew she was ???????(Allana's true name)?"

Damian upon hearing the question, he makes a thoughtful face and after thinking, speaks with a serious face

Damian:"intuition!!!"

Mirage: "really?!"

Damian: "yes, I'm glad it was her, because if it wasn't, it would have been a very embarrassing scene"

When Mirage heard this, he imagined the situation and started laughing.

Mirage: "hahahahah true, you was lucky, huh?"

Damian: "Don't even tell me, but come on, I think the flashback moment is almost over"

After This conversation the two went to Allana, who still had a dead look, but after the flashback it was a little better, so she turns to Damian again and notices that Mirage is now there, but still answers Damian's previous question.

Allana:"my name is Allana and it means three things harmony, rock and beauty"

Damian:"interesting name to say the least, it's a pleasure Allana, so I'm going to reintroduce myself again, my name is Damian"

And when Mirage was about to introduce himself, Damian pulled him and said

Damian: "and this is Mirage, I know a strange name, right? But you must know him as ??????(Mirage's true name)"

Upon hearing this, Allana's eyes regain a little more shine, knowing that she is no longer alone and that one of her best friends is there too, but before saying anything Damian says

Damian: "calm down, blonde, before we start chatting, I think it's better... we don't talk here"

Allana: "why?"

Damian: "security, we don't know who could be listening, so let's go, we have to get back before lunch"

In a hurry, the three started to leave and went to where Damian and Mirage were using as a training area.

After a few minutes they get there and Mirage asks a question
