RUN! RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!
The sun shines down upon your eyes from the window, waking you up with it's glorious warmth.

Ah, what a wonderful way to wake up.

You slowly stumble out of bed, and open the curtains so you can bask in it's lights.

Praise. The . SU-

The reincarnated hero throws her curtain open and yells at you from the window. "Stop being weird in the morning! Put a shirt on!"

"Do you deny the sun?" You ask from the window.

"Just drink some coffee already!" She shouts.

"Fine..." You grumble, walking away from the window.

You will return sun. You will return.

You get dressed and head to the kitchen table where breakfast was already waiting for you, along with some coffee.

Three, two, one.

"H-Hey." Your mothers voice calls out to you. "I-It's not like I made breakfast for you o-or anything. I-I just made too much! Geez! J-Just eat it already!"

The darkness envelops you...

You quickly drink the cup of coffee and suddenly your thoughts became clear.

"Thanks for the food." You say apathetically. You have long since gotten used to your mothers weird way of showing her feelings.

"I-It's n-not like I like you, y-y-you d-d-dummy!" She says, retreating to who knows where.

As the Hero put it. "Overlord, your mom is weird.".

You quickly run back to your room to grab your bag. With a quick shout of "I'm leaving." You walk outside to find the hero waiting for you.


"Morning Kibo, I see you're still spreading hope gloriously." You say to the blond girl.

"I told you too shut up about it." She grumbles.

"Kibo, if I haven't shut up about in ten years, why would I do that now?" You say in a teasing manner.

The joke you were talking about was her name. Kibo Kagayakashi, which basically meant hope glorious. It was a mystery as to why her parents named her that, but it was one where it gives you plenty of teasing amo.

Besides, this is her mother we're talking about. Thinking about her too much sends a chill down your spine.

"I don't know... maybe, this!" She yells, bringing out that wooden sword of hers and doing a horizontal swing right where your head was a few seconds ago.

Dodge motherfucker.

"Um, hey, maybe you shouldn't do that?" You ask, some fear creeping into your voice.

"Never! Prepare for divine retribution, Overlord!" She shouts before swinging the sword once more.

Annnnnd that's how you found yourself running to school with a hero on your tail.

"Stay still, dammit!"
***
You slump down onto your desk. You finally managed to get Kibo to stop chasing you, and you were eternally grateful for that.

Those swings hurt.

You had a couple minutes before class began so you brought out your cellphone and begin playing Puzzle and Dragons.

You didn't want to get addicted to the game, but it is a good way to pass time.
.
.
.
...and there's the bell. 5 minutes passed by quick.

Luckily, you finished the dungeon right at that moment.

You can quit anytime you want dammit!

Classes go by quickly and before you know it, schools over.

You run outside to meet Kibo when you realise something.

You have no plans for this afternoon.

[] Head home to play videogames.
-[] Call another friend with you.
--[] Write in friend's name. Don't expect much from me folks!

[] Head to the local cafe.

[] Head to the mall.

[] Write in.
 
End of the first day
"Hey, wanna go to the mall?"

"Sure, why not?"
***
You stare at the claw machine as it lifts your prize.

You were at the arcade section of the mall. The two of you weren't really into seeing a movie yet.

The mall it's self wasn't much, the standard shops and a movie theater being the only big hit. Faintly, you spot a purple fog in the background.

And Starbucks, but fuck Starbucks.

Come on, come on! Work!

It grabs the prize you wanted and begins to drag it to the drop box, ever so slowly. You can't help but give it an intense glare that had your previous life's minions to freeze in place.

Kibo just sighs. "Why are you doing this? You've already wasted 2000 yen on this thing."

FOOL!

"Do you not see it Kibo? The joy you get when you actually make it on this dreadful machine? Where is your hope that I can do it?" You respond.

"I lost all hope the moment you got too 1000 yen." She retorts.

Humph, she just doesn't understand the triumph.

The claw drops your prize right near the exit.

"DAMMIT!!" You shout.

These things are evil! Evil!

"C'mon, lets go before you lose all your money." Kibo states, grabbing her bag from off the floor.

"Ha! I'd like to see you try!" You shout, pointing at her with all the conviction you can manage.

This thing was eating up a lot of your money.

"Yes overlord." She says, emphasizing your previous title.

Your eye twitches as she walks up to the register nearby. What is she..?

You can faintly hear her. You subconsciously reinforce your ears.

"Excuse me, can I have that prize from the claw machine?"

"Ah, sure. Wait a minute miss."

Why that!

By the time she comes up to you with the prize your eye is twitching at a massive rate.

"So..." You begin. "This is how you spread hope, huh? By cheating?"

"H-Hey! I just didn't want to waste any more money!" She stammer, backing up a bit with her cheeks getting flushed.

"Right..."

"It's true!" She yells. "You know what? Why don't we try something else."

You spot a gun game in the corner of the arcade. It's one of those two person shooter games.

"Say, you up for some jolly co-operation?"
***
It turns out, that you and Kibo suck at shooting games. Despite having sixteen years to get used to Earth you still know battle as swords, claw things, and a shit load of magic. Guns just weren't your thing, but you've been trying over the last few years.

And by "Trying" you mean go to a game like this by yourself once a month and completely fail.

...Yeah, you know what? Let's stop talking about this.

Kibo brings out her phone to check the time. "5:47 huh? ...We'd better go home."

You nod your head and begin your walk with the Reincarnated hero.
***
As you're walking home along the road you just happen to see the sunset.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" You comment out loud.

"Yeah, Menione never had a view like this." Kibo replies, gazing off into the sun. "Though I miss the way shown softly on us all."

"Hey, don't be forgetting our promise, you hear?" You say jokingly, shaking your head a little as you to begin to bask in the sun's warmth.

"Course not, I like these peaceful days. I wish they would never end..."

"Me too Kibo. Me too..."

You close your eyes and let the heat drift you into your memories. To that day four years ago when you made an important promise...
***
She sat there crying, and you were stunned. You had never seen this side of her before, she was always brave at the least. You'd never expect that there was this side of her.

The afternoon sun stabbed holes of heat into your eyes. Dimly lighting up the school rooftop.

"I-I can't take it anymore." The hero sobbed out. "I-I don't know what to think. Y-You're different from the monster I remember, and I'm still the same."

Eh?! She thought of you as a monster?! Well, you did give that impression...

"Why?! Why couldn't it be as simple as it was in Menione? You were the bad guy and I was the good guy." She cried.

You sigh and sit down next to her. "There was a reason for that in Menione, there's no reason for that here."

The reason. That final blow took away the very reason of why you were the Overlord. No matter how much you try to recall it, it escapes your grasp. But, at times you can faintly remember, and that is enough for you.

"Why?!"

That word rang something inside of you, a bit more of the reason comes back to you.

"Because there's no story here."

The hero stops crying and looks you in confusion. "Wha...?"

A small smile appears on your face. "Hey, why don't we forget Menione, so that we can live in peaceful days."

"Peaceful days?" The hero questions in a mumble.

"Yeah, why don't we start over so that we can live in peace?" You ask.

"I don't really get it but... sure." The hero says.

"My name's Solaire Astora, nice to meet you."

"My name's Kibo Kagayakashi. It's nice to meet you too."
***

You and Kibo ended up just walking home in silence. There was no need to say anything.

You give your goodbyes once you reach your respective houses and walk away.

Dinner was... okay. Well, as okay as it can get with a Tsundere mom.

Table you will be missed....

Now, what do?

-[] All night long!
