Chapter
1: Aku No Ferō
My
name is Jirou Araki. I have just been promoted to the 9th grade yet
nothing feels to have changed. They say that when you get to high school you
lose your friends and life changes, I have yet to feel that. Everything is
normal, Nariko is always being annoying, Kato is being a smartass as usual, and
Ueda is reading an advanced book.
Back
then I thought nothing would ever change in this boring world. All you do is
study stuff you’ll never use in life and then get a job and work for most of
your life before retiring. This boring processes of life was interrupted when the
air became thin and everything froze.
“Jirou!
What’s happening? Why is everyone not moving? Why is the air thin? Why is
everything so dark?” screamed Nariko. “How am I supposed to know? This isn’t
something that happens every day. Wait…what is that outside”? Suddenly Jirou
spots what appears to be a big deformed snake. It’s tongue is missing, when it
opens its mouth it’s like looking into a pit of darkness.
“What
should we do Jirou?”
“Nothing
for now, just don’t let it see you”
Suddenly
they see below them the snake slowly devouring a blue sphere which was inside a
human. He did this to many more. When Jirou and Nariko thought it was going to
continue and eventually find them, he disappeared as if he was never there. The
darkness subsided and they could breathe easily again. Everyone began talking
and moving as if nothing happened besides Jirou and Nariko who were lost of
words. The people whose sphere where eaten continued walking as if nothing happened.
“…What…was
that…?”
“What
was what?” Kato said.
“Nothing…”
whispered Nariko as she faced towards Jirou who was still in shock.
“How
could they not have noticed? That thing just did something to them and they’re
just continuing on with their lives…how come?” Jirou said as he stared at them
walking past the school.
What
could that have been? We know it all too well now, but back then there was
nothing to prove that what we just saw happen, actually happened. Until later
that day…we say one of the people whose sphere had been eaten…they slowly
disappeared without a trace right in front of us and everyone continued walking
as if nothing had ever happened.
