ACIEL'S DIARY : INDIGO
SHEET 2.5: PROBLEM ODOR

The hour hand pointed at the number one, with the clear sky giving off scorching heat, the sound of the bell coming home echoed throughout the school.

I immediately tidied up a few items on the table, put them in the greetings bag and made sure no one was left behind.

"Hm? Aciel? Ah, he's in this class. Wait a minute, I'll call him for you."

Alright, I'll be home soon and hear the explanation that Master spoke of this morning. What does the Master want to say, huh? It intrigued me when he said that my mother had something to do with all this.

By the way, how did you get to know Master, huh?

While thinking that to my head, I immediately picked up the bag and carried it, walking out of class. But before that there was someone walking towards me, and calling me.

"Aciel, can I bother you for a second?"

Men with their long hair decorated with sparkles use too much Gel. I remember him as my classmate, but I don't know his name.

"Is there something?"

"Yes, there's another classmate looking for you."

The gel hair pointed at the classroom door, and I looked in the same direction.

"Hm? Who's looking for me? There's no one there."

"Eh? But someone just looked for you. She's a girl with reddish-black hair and wears round glasses, her body is also quite tall."

We decided to go to the classroom door and check into the hallway, there was no one with the same characteristics of what the gel hair said.

This pattern ... Don't-don't ... I-i understand.

"Hey, hair gel. Are you playing with me?"

"Hair gel? No, I'm not lying! There's someone really looking for you."

He's still sticking with it?

I reached out and wrapped around the gel hair's shoulders, then brought myself closer to her ears and whispered something

"Then what is this? No one's looking for me, right? I know you might think of myself as a weird kid because I often do weird things and it's also been a well-known rumor in school but there were certain times the mood on me was pretty bad, too, you knew?"

I let out a smile, which was immediately responded by the gel hair with a gaze that described fear.

Even so, the answer remains the same.

"Ah no, I'm really not lying."

It seems like he did not lie to me, I know from the gaze he let out. In that case, who was the one who had been looking for me and disappeared just like that before meeting me?

"Is that so? I-i understand. A girl with blackish red hair and round glasses, huh? I'll remember, thank you."

I immediately let go of my circle of hands and walked away, leaving the gel hair behind. But something flashed through my head at that moment, so I decided to turn around.

"Oh yeah, the gel in your hair is too much and to be honest it gives off a bad smell. I suggest using it as instructed."

I turned around again and walked.

With a puzzled expression on his face, the gel hair could only remain silent without saying anything. Did I say it too much, huh?

I don't really care. That's true anyway.

Put that aside, who's the one who's looking for me? Because that gel hair could see it, so he must be a human. But after seeing a Master who could take on a physical form, I wasn't too sure about that hypothesis anymore.

It's confusing, I better leave it to myself in the future alone.

I walked out the front fence of the school and looked in several directions.

It had been about three days since I had stayed with Master and in those few days, never a single night had I found him sleeping without a strong alcoholic scent on his fur.

Master was indeed a heavy drunkard, he also received quite a number of invitations to drink from many other Spirits. From that reaction, Master was indeed known quite widely. Making him my guardian was the right choice.

And with that wide popularity, I should not have to worry about being attacked and bullied by many other Spirits as usual. At least I will have a lot of time to relax, this is indeed the best.

"But I still want him to cut down on his drinking. Even though the smell won't stick to the warehouse because it's the spirits' alcohol, it still stings my nose."

Then I'm like a passive drunk. Although not drinking directly, it might have a bad influence.

"Oh yeah, before Master asked that I buy him a salty snack to be his drinking buddy. I think I should stop by the minimarket for a while and buy some, but what kind of salty snacks should I buy?"

Beans, maybe?

I took another direction, heading for the nearest minimarket.

"Hm?"

But suddenly, there were two black Eohs blocking in front of me. Both of them have a strange form with a blackish color, the appearance is not too clear and of course they look at me.

"Mr Aciel, right?"

The Spirit is speaking wrong.

I shook his head, indicating that he was wrong.

"No, I'm not Aciel. If not wrong, Aciel is the name of anak—Gurghh!!"

Not letting me give the slightest argument, the two of them instantly shot towards me and with some quick movements, they slammed myself on the ground, lifted my body and took me somewhere.

"The fact that you can see we've explained everything, you're Mr. Aciel."

Then why do you ask me if you already know? Damn it, when I just thought that the attacks of the Spirits would decrease but something like this just happened.

The spirits shut their mouths and held their eyes by tying a black cloth to my face. But from the sound of friction and the sound of the surroundings, it seemed like they were heading towards a forest.

Shit, what are they gonna do to me? A bump? Or the appetizers at the party they're going to title? I've experienced many things like this and all that pops into my mind is speculation leading to the worst possible!!

And also, why did they wear an honorific when calling out to me? This is the first time a spirit has called me that way.

Even so, this does not change the fact that I was kidnapped by the Spirits. Since Master is not with me, I have to do something to overcome it. For now, it is better that I observe the development of the situation.

A few minutes had passed since I was kidnapped, it seemed like the two Spirits who kidnapped me had already arrived at their destination. On the other hand I heard the presence of many spirits around.

There are so many spirits around, am I really going to be an appetizer?

The spirit that lifted me on his shoulders immediately lowered my body with a little attention and sat me on the grass. Then he opened his blindfold and I saw a bunch of spirits around me.

The number was around fifteen Spirits, all of them looking towards me with strange gazes.

All right, what are they gonna do to me?

But it seemed to miss what I was expecting, the spirit with the black form sat in front of me and aligned its position with me. With a soft voice that was comfortable to hear, the Spirit conveyed his intention.

"Mr Aciel, I hope you will listen to our request."

"Hnnf—??"

I looked around, at the other Spirit. No one said anything and they only returned my gaze with a light nod. I also felt no hostility.

Is it possible that they really just want to ask me for something? Then I would be happy if they could untie all the ties to my body first before doing so.

Moreover, a lump of unpleasant cloth in my mouth. It's really uncomfortable.
