Talent Incarnate

Yui smiled. “I’m pretty lucky I get to be able to keep the ability to use magic.” She spoke before chuckling. She began to charge firebolt. A small fireball began circling around Yui’s head. “How’s this for proof?”

Kamukura blinked in surprise at the fireball circling her, and for a split second, his expression wasn’t completely blank as it had been a moment ago. His expression quickly returned to normal, and he studied the fireball, as if trying to find the trick behind it. “How does that work?”

“It’s kind of a weird one. Though I can show you proof that it exists later, if you need any.” Yui smiled before she began explaining. “It’s a world where magic, gods, and goddesses exist. Some of the other people who visit the world call it a fantasy life, where you could practically do what ever you want.”

A world where one could do whatever they want that was inhabited by gods and goddesses? That did remind him of some kind of fantasy, but without proof, that was all it was to Kamukura. “You’ll have to show me proof of this world, it sounds too...fictional.”

「Wh..what about you? Why are you a-alone?」she asked through soft hiccups.

She was just a child after all, one that probably would struggle. 

               『 Okay — BEAR BONERS ! 』

Silent staring. “Wait, what?”

“Caught your interest Did I?” Yui seemed proud of herself. “What if I told you there was another world out there, one different than this one?”

“What is this other world?” Even if he had slight interest, he was now trying to decide if she was making it up or not.

“Well… Soooorry I’m not that good at conversing. I mostly hang out with people in another world, so I really don’t know a good topic.”

“You...hang out with people in another world? What do you mean by that?”

[❀]— 「Th..that….I」and there went the tears, spilling down on her cheeks. 「I-if Daddy a-ain’t comin’ back then what d-do I do now?? I want my Daddy!!」

“No matter how much you want your father, he won’t return. As for what you will do now, I’d say you have two choices. Either you sit here and die, or you attempt to live, without your father.”

She didn’t want to believe that he won’t come back.

Kamukura could tell she could cry any second now, but he didn’t stop. She wouldn’t be the first one he said these kinds of things to.

「A day…I think.」Yotsuba replied.

She wasn’t even certain how long it had been, it was possible it had been longer than a day. There was no way he would be returning, especially when the world was in such a horrible state.

At this time, she was simply listing off whatever talent came to mind. There had to be something that he couldn’t do.

Kamukura answered, but was quickly getting bored of answering her, even if she had only asked about four talents so far.

「Daddy left to get something…he told me to wait here…he hasn’t come back in a long time.」

“How long have you been waiting?”

「I’m waiting for Daddy.」

“Where did your father go?” He asked, his tone remained as unconcerned as ever. Whatever happened to this child's father didn't truly matter to him.

          “I get the feeling that I might not have been better before.” Tania sighs, hands on her hips. “I’ve a suspicion that the reason they wont tell me is due to the fact that I’m probably a much better person now that I was before. Those that have stuck around for this new version of me, at least.”

“That would make sense...If they don’t tell you, then that would answer that question.” Kamukura could already feel his interest fading, which disappointed him. He tried to ignore his expected boredom and continue talking. “Did you ever want the memories of who you were before back?”
