Last Man On Earth When There Is No Earth ?

Planet Rooster, Gram city, Seven

If I had to say myself, with how we stood right now, back to back with Lilia just finishing that swing… no there is something missing… okay, now it's perfect.

I put both hands in my pockets, completing the scene I had in mind, a really badass scene.

The blob guy swung at me with his weapon, but compared to the experienced warrior that is Lilia, his movements felt even slower

The bracelets activated in synch with how fast she moved, and before the blob guy noticed his sword like weapon had already shattered not leaving as much as a scratch on the gantlet's surface

Even as a spear wielder Lilia knew more than well how to hit someone with a fist, and going for the ugly face was a choice anyone would take. Rather than smashing into the wall the guy bounced off then fell on his face

The number of the passersby that noticed the high-pitched scream this blue fur ball made increased dramatically with a super ultra beautiful girl showing some advanced skills and saving someone from a villain's blade.

Her hair flew gently through the air before resting behind her, she took a deep breath then let it out

" attacking someone out of nowhere, who does he think he is?" she said, her brows forming a slight angle

" a robber, I think" I said picking up her bag " he keep us distracted as his little friend here does the stealing"

Feeling sorry for the fur ball trying to pull its tail from under my feet I decided to let it go. The little creature made a run for it the moment I lifted my leg

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!" a load voice called from behind the crowd

A man –Zesionien man- made his way through the onlookers who didn't bother making a way for him. Finally reaching the front he stood with a lazy glare on his face looking us up and down, he then took some device from his c.h.e.s.t pocket checking the hologram it made before speaking again

" causing trouble as soon as you arrive huh? Not good, not good at all!"

One look at his blue uniform like clothing and one could tell he is a guard of some kind, although compared to most Zesioniens I sow, this one is way on the slim side. he went to take a look at the unconscious blob guy, lifting his head leaving the fragmented teeth drop. When he was done he returned him to the floor without much care and walked to us

" the guy is out cold, I don't know how hard you hit him but you won't get out of it easily" again with the device in hand he produced a half transparent window and started tapping and sliding his finger on it

I look at Lilia, then at Iris. Neither seemed to know a way in dealing with this, so I had to step in improvising

" hold on a little, that guy attacked us first, it's called self defense you know" acting tough against a security officer like this would be a big no no back on earth, but the me back on earth didn't have those muscles, nor the confidence that he could punch this guy to death, so even if I may vomit any moment now I don't feel the least intimidated by him

" you are an artificial life form right? Do you work for the girl over there?"

" something like that, I want to know why are we the ones in trouble even though we are the victims"

" look, I don't know what happened but that guy is in critical condition and you put him in it, until we are sure of who is to blame I will have looked away"

Couldn't he simply ask someone from the crowd to know what happened? Sure it was short but I'm sure more than one person at least saw the sword getting blocked by Lilia. Some of them are holding the smartphone like device Lilia has, if I had to guess the whole event is being recorded bu multiple people.

and if he is able to confirm our identities by looking into that device why doesn't he look at the security footage?

" this guy, he works with the blob" said Iris, getting close to whisper in my ear

' you don't have to do that, no one can see or hear you'

" adding some dramatic effect" she replayed " anyways, I went to take a look at him, he is perfectly fine and this man told him to keep the act"

' well, his plans aren't that hard to guess'

Bla blab la, you did something bad, blab la bla, you have to pay this much if you want to go, blab la bla

Two travelers who didn't know left from right, tricking them into for their release and getting away with it even if they learned the truth later

This guy probably has his eyes on Lilia, which is another reason for me wanting to punch him again

She searched through her stuff for something then took out her identity card, holding it in front of the guy's face

The guy blinked a few times then squinted at the rectangular shape, before backing away with eyes gapping open like a ghost seeing a charm

" a-a-a-a-a warrior class graduate!" sweat ran down his forehead

The card Lilia held up was blue in color, but unlike mine it had three golden stars next to each other and a symbol of some sort

" I apologize for my rudeness, ma'am, I will take care of this person immediately!"

The guard bowed repeatedly before tapping into his device, a few seconds later some robot like things came floating into the scene picking up the blob guy on a transporter and left. The guard bowed again asking for forgiveness then in the other direction as fast as he could

A warrior class

The crowd that spoke of how gorgeous the girl with the golden hair is now changed to discussing the term that guard spoke

'Iris, explain'

" why don't you just ask her?"

I turn to Lilia, who was a little embarrassed about all the attention she got.

I already know she was a great worrier, and that the school she graduated from had a lot to do with fighting, but what I didn't know is what graduating from one meant. Lilia explained that the academy she went to, together with Iris, is a prestigious institution for high learning

The worrier course especially was a grade harder than the rest, and going through it requires a lot of effort and hard work. A warrior class graduate is granted many privileges and one of them is a stand-in commanding position in any military field of work, giving them authority over soldiers and law enforcement agencies in field work.

In other words for a brief moment Lilia was that guard's higher-up, his boss so to speak.

" heeeh, I always thought you were amazing, but to thing you were this great" I said looking at the card I held in my hand

Lilia smiled as a slight red colored her cheeks " well, I can't really brag about it" she said playing with her hair, twirling it around a little " even if I'm a graduate, I'm so low in the list that no job was assigned for me"

" well, both of our grades were near average, she was strong in practical work and weak on paper, while I was the opposite" Iris said, floating around with a disinterested look " those at the top gain too much fame which make it easy for them to get assigned for high positions even at really young age"

As I remember, Lilia is about a year younger than me – well, if you consider I'm still seventeen-. Not only do students graduate from schools at that age, but they also go to work right after. Imagine a sixteen years old girl commanding an army, the ones we had were still called kids at that age and can't survive long without their parents.

" I… don't think I had any plans about work for at least a few years, hahaha" yes, I was nearing my graduation exams, and university sounded as much of a pain as finding a job, but who knew how long would those parents of mine stand me playing games all day

" I saved some of my allowance for after I graduate and I still get some from my mom, but who knows when she would stop" Lilia laughed wryly

"good thing she has a rich husband" a grin formed on Iris's Lips, before she went to add " well, even if you have all that money she probably would prefer to earn her for herself"

I didn't mind an independent woman, being both strong and beautiful is what made her attractive, but since I had money to spend I have this strong d.e.s.i.r.e to pamper her as much as I can

That said, Lilia would probably hate if I just lived on the income from the planet that just happened to become mine by coincidence, but finding a job would have to wait until we settle down.

A job huh… I wonder what I had in mind concerning that. maybe I planned on becoming a programmer, working on games of course, maybe even thought of starting my own company. But who knows? What little that came back told me I spent days piling up fat consuming calories I wouldn't burn, did I consider anything for the long road?

One thing for sure getting murdered –nearly murdered- by aliens and waking up on what would become my private planet wasn't an option. Owning an island is one thing, but a whole planet, that goes beyond funny.

….

The crowd made it easy for us to pass, splitting up and making a way as I let my extraordinarily beautiful wife lead the way

It was impossible to count how many of the bystanders –both males and females- had fallen for Lilia as she confidently passed by them. I on the other hand, had to deal with the glares stabbing me like daggers, as some envied me for being able to serve such an angel –my position as her aid was set in stone by now- and the rest wondering what the hell I am.

We chose one of the second grade hotels to stay in, it was a choice we both made as anything above would be too luxurious for us to relax in. the room was spacious, a large bed, a sofa, a table and some chairs, and a closet

…..

I hear screams

Where am i

"HELP!! HE-"

Who was that?

What's going on?

"GYAAAAAA!!!!"

Wait, what's that thing? it's…. green? A tail!! It moves!!

" GYAHAHAHHAHA!!!!"

Why are you pointing that at me?

Quick! I can block them with my gantlets—they are gone…..

Right! Lilia, where is she..

Huh, that girl, the green monster… it's eating her….

It's…. somewhat familiar….

Isn't this where…

I look down at my c.h.e.s.t, blood running down like a river from a hole that's not supposed to be there

Ah, it's that….

The day I died…..

This is back then…..

…..

" …a nightmare?" looking at a ceiling I didn't know, a faint urge to vomit longed at the end of my throat

I got up from the bed, as soft and comfy as it is, I didn't feel that satisfied after sleeping on it.

"… Lilia…"

Well, after that l.a.p pillow back in the commander's office any bed would feel lacking. But wherever I look I can't find the golden hair

"Lilia!"I called, suddenly panicking

" hyah!!" the voice came from the behind a door at the other side of the room "w-what is it?"

"… no, nothing… are you taking a shower?" relief isn't enough to describe the state I'm in now, knowing she is somewhere where I can hear her

It's the second time this happens, when I'm left alone, after a short while, I start losing control.

It's comfortable having Lilia around, without her I may not be able to keep living. It's less in a romantic way than it sounds. I may be in love with her, but what I feel is the need for a companion, someone I could talk to, and that role can't be filled by anyone

The days we spent together on Gorgola made Lilia an irreplaceable part of my life in more than one way

" I will be out soon"

A few minutes later after the water stopped making its sound the door opened and she came out. Not being able to wait that long I was up from the bed waiting for her beside the door.

" so, what's wrong? You seem a little stressed, did you have a bad dream? " Lilia said.

She used the towel around her neck to wipe the water vapor that acc.u.mulated on her skin. She wore the combination of a t-shirt and shorts she usually uses as a pajama, and her long hair was straight and has yet to regain its wavy ends.

While my eyes were drawn to her b.a.r.e t.h.i.g.hs for a moment I quickly shacked the thought form my head and answered "yeah, it was a bad dream"

She let out a long breath then turned to walk away. her long blond hair covered her back all the way to her knees, but between the moving strands I was able to get a glimpse of her behind, wiggling a little with every step.

" you scared me for a moment there, I thought we may be under attack or something" she said sighing for a moment

I took a step behind her.

I was about to hug her, a sudden surge of courage pushed me. I could tell it wasn't Iris, but after that dream and the way I woke up I couldn't help but want her between my arms, not letting her go

But I wasn't able to fulfill that wish. Lilia turned on her heel pointing her index finger at me with half closed eyes

" I said nothing yesterday since you looked tired, but I can't leave it at that. you should wash yourself, if you did, then you wouldn't have had that dream"

I don't know if she has a very s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e nose, but if there is one thing Lilia couldn't handle, it was the smell of sweat. Although, I remember taking a shower in the ship not long before we arrived, I'm sure I wouldn't get that smelly after less than a day.

"…okay" she probably wouldn't like me getting close right now

"pathetic" said Iris, how long has she been standing –floating to be more accurate- there?

'…I know' I simply didn't have the courage
