He was shocked, we could see that. I wondered why though. Sakuya was surprised too. At least, I think she was. Hotaru walked towards us as he wondered about something. "What is it, Hotaru?" I asked him confused. "How did you learn Armenia so fast? It took me four years to learn it." My eyes blinked at the word he just spoke.

"Armenia? What is that?" I asked. Sakuya sighted and looked at the cherry threes. "A long time ago. We used to speak in another language called Armenia. It was a complicated language so the Silver Cross Paladin set a new language. It's named Komaru..." I was more confused than ever. "so we are currently speaking, Komaru?" I asked not believing I could speak a language I didn't know. Hotaru nodded slowly as I remained unaware of what was happening. "I thought I was talking in English the whole time! How did it suddenly change without me being aware?" I stated upset of not knowing a thing. "This world is supposed to be a place where everyone can understand each other, so, we all talk in the same language here. I'm sorry if you don't like the rules, but Kami is the one who decided it all."

I took a big breath as I tried to relax, it was rare for me to lose control, but it was getting really hard to process all the new events. I'm really confused in this world. "What is the silver cross Paladin anyway?" I asked. "It's an ancient organization of paladin." Hotaru said. "They were all the strongest humanoid in the world of beginnings. They fought to protect just like what Kami wanted. Later, when the king arrived, the silver cross paladin tried to eradicate him for the people's sake. Ren, furious, killed them without mercy. Except one, he was the youngest one, he actually was only just a five-year-old kid. You're maybe wondering why; a five-year-old kid would take place at such a dangerous thing. Well, he was incredibly strong for his age. The king didn't know his strength and let it pass. When he became older, he was as strong as the third dragon. A true master of magic. The silver cross paladin is no longer an organisation but a lonely soldier."

I blinked as I remembered about The language Armenia. Hotaru said I could also speak it. "Hotaru. I don't recall speaking Armenia. The only thing I know, is that I used some weird words to make the spell effective. I wrote down in the book that I wanted to be able to say spells without having to learn how. If it's actually Armenia, well, I didn't know..." Hotaru turned around, not wanting to show his jealous face. Sakuya looked at me with a questioning look. "What book?" I remembered that she didn't know about it. I looked at her with a smirk. "It's called the power of kami!" I said proudly. Sakuya was still wondering what I was talking about as I silently walked away from the training ground.

"Hotaru, what happened when I lost? Did I die or what?" I asked now wondering why I had that strange feeling. Hotaru looked confused at first but soon understood what I meant. "Before, Sakuya said: "I challenge you!". Right?" I nodded silently as I waited for him to continue his response. "Well, if it's a challenge, the first one to lose all its HP loses. Though, if you say: "I challenge you to a duel!" then the battle isn't finished until the opponent dies..." I didn't know how to respond. Why did Kami create this rule? Why?

I was walking down the street with Hotaru. Sakuya already went away saying she had to do something important. We were heading towards a hunting mention to get a quest. It was silent way to silent for a street. Actually, we were the only one here. This place was desert. The only thing we could hear, was the sound of our steps. Something triggered my attention though, about Sakuya. "Hey. Remember when Sakuya challenged me? Why were you so scared?" Hotaru froze a little but barely. "for no particular reason, really..."

"Some people have secrets that must be kept secret young lady." said a voice I didn't recognize. Behind a tree, a young boy in his fourteen's with black hair was standing with pride, looking at our direction.

"Hi little Kuro!!!" said Hotaru cheerfully. The boy looked at him annoyed. "Unbelievable. How dare you call me little Kuro?! Don't forget that I'm the silver cross paladin!!!" he shouted cutely.

"You're the paladin?" I asked amazed. He looked at me with a smirk. "Yep! My name is Kuro, Kuro Sagameru." He stated. "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Kuro. My name is Alice, Alice Carter." Kuro nodded joyfully.

"I know! let's go one a quest tomorrow! As friends!"
