Chapter : The Day of Beginning

Chapter : The Day of Beginning

Hello JonathanTitan here!

Due to the feedback from a fan of this story, I have decided to upload Chapter 0-Chapter 59, that I previously linked to the old translation website.

My real translations begins with Chapter 60. Chapter 0-59 is purely re-edited copies gotten from the old translation website.

Thanks for the usual co-operation.

As the asphalt roads are slowly dyed with the colour of sunset, Hasami Tatsuro and Yashiki Ai are walking home hand in hand, like they always do.

On one side was a black-haired boy of 170 cm stature, with a slightly rugged face on him. On the other, stood a girl with a slightly childish face and chestnut-colored eyes to match. 160 cm tall, her short-cut hair complemented her other features nicely.

The two started off as seatmates back in their primary school days. That paved the way for them to get closer due to their daily interactions. In their first year of middle school, Tatsuro finally managed to confess, and the two started going out.

Ever since then, they started to exude a warm atmosphere whenever they were together, making them the target of envy for those around them. If things remained the same, they would graduate high school, move on to college, get a job, and eventually get married. Anyone would have given their all to turn that future into reality. Even the couple themselves thought so too.

That is, up until today.

Something that should have been impossible happened.

*Rumble, rumble*

As a low-frequency sound that could make one's stomach churn resounded loudly, the ground started to shake violently.

"Wha!?" (Tatsuro)

"Kya!" (Ai)

In an instant, Tatsuro pulled Ai closer to him. They both curled their bodies in an attempt to withstand the unnatural phenomenon.

"E,e,e,e,e, earthquake?!" (Ai)

"Looks like it." (Tatsuro)

Reflected in their eyes was a fissure that split open, projecting the void within it.

"Hold on tight! We'll get separated if we don't!" (Tatsuro)

Receiving a bad omen from the fissure, Tatsuro held tightly onto Ai's arm. They started to move back to distance themselves from the godforsaken thing' floating in the sky but it was all for naught.

The thing' didn't just stay in one place. It started devouring the sky and soon, there will no longer be a place that isn't under it'.

"Just what is that thing?" (Ai)

"Tatsuro" (Ai)

Trembling, Ai tugged on Tatsuro's sleeve. In response, Tatsuro gently put his arms around her, giving her peace of mind. After doing so, they started considering whether they should move to another place or not.

With a previously unseen event happening right before their eyes, they could not decide on their next course of action. The clock, however, ticks on.

As if reminding them, the fissure started to rapidly expand in size.

And then, right at that moment, something' happened.

With a loud screech that sounded like a metal being torn apart, a rip in space appeared right beside the girl.

"Ai!!!" (Tatsuro)

Similar to the fissure, the rip also started to expand rapidly. Before she had a chance to react, the rip had already started to engulf Ai.

"IYAAAAA!" (Ai)

"URGHHH" (Tatsuro)

Seeing that, Tatsuro grabbed onto her arm and frantically tried to pull her out. However, his efforts were in vain. As though grateful for another meal, the rip started to devour Tatsuro as well.

And just like that, the two of them fell into the void, sucked in by the unrelenting force of the rip. For a split second, the two felt like they were in zero gravity. Then, they, along with their screams, disappeared into the gap in space.

From here on, the two will be taking a path that greatly differs from what they had initially thought. As for which path it will beonly time will tell.
