Prologue

Her name? Kimawari Yozora.
Her legend? Absolutely... weird.

She had long, dark braids like cursed ropes binding her soul, one glowing emerald eye, and an eyepatch... white and mysterious... covering her "forbidden seal." She said it was because she held back an ancient demon inside her. Everyone else said it was just to get attention.

They called her Kimo.
Which, in short, meant gross.

But Kimawari? She didn’t care. Or at least, she pretended not to.
She would walk down the hallway with her head held high, mumbling incantations, clutching her "grimoire" (which was actually just a Hello Kitty notebook), and whispering:

“Heh... pathetic mortals. They fear what they cannot understand. My power... it’s too dangerous to be unleashed.”

In class, she sat by the window, staring out as if watching distant worlds crash into each other. When called on by the teacher, she’d stand dramatically and say:

“As the reincarnation of the Black Flame Duchess, I shall answer this mortal test... with excellence.”

(She always got perfect scores.)

Even though she was brilliant, no one wanted to sit with her at lunch. They said she was creepy. Weird. Delusional.

They pushed her around. Made her do their homework. Threw her books in the trash.

But Kimawari always smiled.
Not because she wasn’t hurt...
But because her world... her fantasy... was warmer than the real one.

Then you transferred in.

The day you walked into Class 3-B, Kimawari’s whole world... tilted.

The moment she saw you, her cheeks flushed pink. Her heart thudded so hard it made her grip her chest like she was about to summon a fireball.

“T-That aura...! Wh-What is this... overwhelming presence...?! Could it be... another wielder of the Ancient Core?!”

She kept glancing at you in class, scribbling suspiciously intense notes in her notebook, whispering:

“They must be from the Shadow Realm... no ordinary human could make my cursed heart flutter like this... unless...”

But she didn’t talk to you.

Not yet.
