Chapter 5:

1st wish (part 1)

A jokers world


A month passed, hikaru gets more and more information about the world. The villagers also became more friendly with hikaru and yuki, so does the the old couple. Every once in a while all villagers would gather at night to drink and eat food under the night sky.

Hiakru and yuki during evening practice magic spells use and trying to control mana input and output. At some point the old couple noticed that yuki was talking to air, so on one night  during dinner the old couple asked 

" yuki i saw you talking to someone while no one was there, are you okay? Is this a disease or something  hikaru"

Hikaru went in thinks hard whether he should tellnthe old couple about yuki and sara or not. He decided not to tell them and replies

"Ah.. that, that's my bad habit i also talked to my self when I was little so i think yuki also got this habit from me"

Yuki sitting next to hikaru stares at him.hiakru says with his eyes you have to play along with it, you should have been careful of your surrounding. 

The old couple replies "Yuki, you should try to get rid of this habit, but well we don't mind it was cute seeing you question and answering yourself "

The only thought that came to hikaru mind while listening that was "so cuteness can solve everything umm?"

Sana and aki who were present there laughs, aki comes closer to hikaru and yuki says while looking at hikaru

"It's a good thing that they say yuki talking with air means me, what would have happened if it were you?"

Hikaru thought worst case scenario and without replying finishes his dinner.

By training under aki and sana, yuki was able to use fire, water, earth, wind and ice magic and their combination magic also. While Hikaru was not as good as yuki but he also manged to learn earth magic and water magic at basic level.

Yuki was still learning more like how to cast more than one magic at same time, controlling mana output and its precise utilization 

The books which were present in the were also helpful in their training, there were some contents like how to make an original magic which yuki and hikaru were practicing on

Yuki was trying to make a teleportation magic.

Hikaru asked the grandpa at the house about the books. Grandpa said that they were very old books which were written by a lady years ago. She used to come in the village and the grandpa liked to read books so he would ask her to lend him some.

The lady from time to time give him the books asking nothing in return,  she also helped the village during a drought out if her own. The villagers would give warm welcome to the lady every time she came here.

Hikaru thought they were probably talking about the Grandma of aki and sana

Hikaru asked the name of the lady "Miss Melli"he replied

At night when hikaru was in his room, aki came through the door. Hikaru looks towards him and asks "was the Grandma's name Miss Melli?".

Aki nods in agreement. Hikaru also asks aki tha did miss melli used to write books aki confirms it.

Hikaru thoughts in his head that he was right. She was no ordinary women, she had talent for magic and she used her life for researching about it. The books she wrote have full explanations and in depth details about magic.

No wonder Nefrim choose her to work for him in his house.

At the same time when hikaru and yuki were practicing in the village. There was a a party organised for nobels which would happenes every once a month so that the nobel can political decision with other nobels amd discuss about their future of kingdom

The party was organised in NERK KINGDOM which was part of MIXED RACE CONTINENT which was located at left side  in world map and covering more than half area length wise and by width around one third of area

The village in which hikaru and yuki was, was a little down south side in MIXED RACE CONTINENT. A little far away from Nerk kingdom.

Nerk kingdom was situated around a little left to the centre of MIXED race continent. Where most of noble families come from time to time.

During the party nefrim was also present there, so was a lady, she was 17 years old. She was there with her father 

Her name was Mahiru and her father's name was Hestin and mother's name was Livia

She was wearing a grey colour dress, her hairs were long and shiny. A look in her eyes and you cant look away.

Hestin was incharge of Etos region in which the village in which hiaru and yuki lives also comes. He was well know and accepted in kingdom. You can say he was a kind person who was well aware of problem of people his region and always worked hard to make the his region a better place 

Hestin was suspicious of nefrim for a long time, but due to lack of any evidence of crime done by him,  hestin Couldn't speak in open about his suspicious. Mahiru was aware of her father being suspicious so she also put guard around him.

Nefrim was holding a glass of wine while chatting with other people at the party. It was a normal conversation of thier personal problems.

Nefrim catches a glimpse of Mahiru. He excuses others and goes toward Mahiru.

Mahiru sees Nefrim coming towards her. A glass of wine in his hand with one hand in pants, in a black suit.

Mahiru puts her guard up and with a forced smile she says

"Oh.. sir nefrim. Nice to meet you"

"Please, the pleasure is all mine to see you "

"How have you been sir Nefrim?"

"All fit and fine. And what about you, miss Mahiru were you able to find someone who caught your eyes"

"Sadly no, no men was able to win my heart in all these years "

"Then what about me?"

"How many time are you going to ask me about it sir nefrim" said Mahiru with a laugh

"Aaa...But what is it, that stops you from becoming my wife. Money, status, power, a good looking face i have everything "

"No person could have everything in this world sir nefrim, and what i seek is not what you mentioned "

"Then tell me what you seek may be I can get hold of it for you, then you can become my wife"

"If I told you what I seek sir nefrim then it will not hold any value"

"I wonder what you seek then"

Both stares in each other eyes. The music starts playing. People starts dancing in couples. Nefrim put the glass of wine at table then raised his one hand while pulling other back and lowering his head a little said "atleast you can give me honor to dance with you"

Mahiru know she can't reject him because everyone was looking at them and he was a person with high status. But she didn't want to dance with nefrim. Suddenly a voice says 

" there you are Mahiru. I looking for you all over the places " 

Mahiru turns back and sees the voice was of her best friend Hana. Hana was childhood friend of mahiru, she also belonged to a nobel family. Their father's were friends and they would occasionally go to each other houses and during on such visit mahiru meet hana.

They were not in contact for around a year.and hana was knew about mahiru and sir hestin  suspicions aboy nefrim. When she saw nefrim asking to dance with mahiru she came to rescue her.

"O... sir Nefrim, how are you doing" hana said

"As good as ever" nefrim replied

"Sorry, but i have to take mahiru with me. It's been months since we last talk, i have a lot of thing to catch up with her. Now excuse us please "

Hana holds Mahiru's hand and take her to balcony. Mahiru was happy to see her best friend after a long time.

In the balcony both hug each other and before saying anything else mahiru thanked hana for helping her.

Hana said it was not a big problem, she also doesn't like that guy.

While they were chatting in balcony, nefrim was looking at both of them from the inside. He then started searching for Luke in the party.

Luke was the person working directly under Nefrim. You can say the he was the guy whom nefrim trusted the most. Luke also helped nefrim in the village incident.

Luke opened a academy of Magic and research in between MIXED RACE CONTINENT and HOLY CONTINENT , on a big island.  It also provided classes for basic education. Nobels , commoners, half beast, elf all type of persons were studying and teaching there.

Nefrim finds Luke drinking wine with other people, he gives him a hand sign to come with him. Luke follows nefrim , they goes in the corner, there were less people around there.

"Looks like marrying mahiru isn't possible. Are the preparations done for what have I told you?"

"Yes sir nefrim, if you want we can start executing the plants."

"So you were able to find the girl, we say in the future?"

"Yes, Lues found her"

"Then start it"

"As your wish sir"

Luke went out of the party. After some time the party ends everyone goes back to their home.

At that night hestin was  killed, there was a thunderstorm that night, it was raining very hard. Mahiru was barely able to survive. She saw her father and mother get killed in front of her. While Crying and regretting not being able to save her parents. She left for hana's house with the little money she had left ,the only place she can hope to stay at, feel secure and ask for help.
