She's That Knight Known As Zero 298 Playing With Our Emotions

A big round table was on the middle and a few more windows were added to give it a brighter atmosphere.

Akihiro, Haruka, Yukimura, Hikari, Rino, Karen, Feena, Hideyos.h.i.+, Mamoru and Azusa were already sitting around the table.

Akihiro and Haruka was silently observing each person in there. They noticed how the other three were in a nervous mode while the rest were confused.

"What kind of emotional things are we going to talk about?" Karen couldn't handle the confusion and finally spoke up.

"Relax will you, Raven said that you should be prepared since you are pregnant," Rino couldn't help but to calm her down.

"Where is he then? Waiting is even more nerve racking than the thing itself," she once again said.

"Seriously mother, what is going on?" Rino couldn't help but ask Haruka instead.

"Don't be too nervous, just wait for a bit more."

Just as she said this the door opened and Raven stepped in, they looked at him confusedly but then another person came in from behind him.

"Eu- Eureka!!" Karen was shock.

They have decided to keep her in the dark why is she suddenly in the meeting?

Eureka smiled at her, "Calm down. I can actually hear you from outside. You have to be aware that my niece or nephew is about to come out."

"Well that is-"

It was not only Karen but Rino, Yukimura, Mamoru and Hikari were staring at her blankly after hearing what she had just said.

Raven took a seat as she stood in front of another.

Rino slowly looked at his parents and seeing as they were not shock at all, "What's going on?"

Haruka could only smile, it was not her who should be speaking after all. It has to be Eureka.

"Please allow me to explain everything," he then heard Eureka speak.

"Azusa?" Mamoru also noticed that his wife was not shock.

"We met her yesterday, in a battle with the rebels," since he asked, she could only say.

"Before any of you would jump into conclusions. I want to first apologize for the distress and suffering I've caused all of you," Eureka bowed down in front of all of them.

Though confusion was still visible in their eyes, everyone was silent waiting for her to continue.

"Just as I have said to Raven yesterday, my childhood was not amazing, filled with nothing but death. You all knew about it as well since I have once explained this already."

She looked at each one of them, "Upon coming here, I was fully aware that my family was here. I had this little hope that maybe someone would recognize me."

"I was suddenly thrown back in here without proper goodbyes to those who raised me. With that I was greatly distressed and I wished I could speak to someone who knew me."

"But in the end even that little hope was crushed for no one knew who I was. I then realized that just as I was born and before my parents could see me I was already taken by Zu."

They knew about this story but no one tried to interrupt her.

"With that, my emotions became even more numb. I just decided that I will finish my business here and return to where Zu and Ao is. Atleast over there they knew me. Atleast over there I have someone caring for me."

"But soon your perseverance swayed my decision. But then again, I was a selfish person. I didn't want to get hurt, I didn't want to become close to anyone because I was planning on going back."

"Yet no matter what I always find myself looking out for all of you. I didn't want to admit it at first but I ended up caring for all of you. And because of that care I decided to take things into my hand."

"In reality, I could kill Juzo. We could kill him instead of just sealing him away all over again."

She saw shock in their eyes upon hearing this.

"But I didn't want to," she looked outside the window and the roof of some of the buildings and houses could still be seen.

"I want to use my full strength to create reset."

She looked back at them with a defeated smile, "I am selfish after all. Why would I care about the people of one thousand years in the future? They can think for themselves. This is my time line, this is where I was born."

"I'd rather have all of you alive with everyone than have all those innocent people remained dead after killing Juzo."

Haruka held Akihiro's hand, Eureka didn't elaborate everything to them and hearing her wish right now. She couldn't help but be pained for her daughter.

"So I did, I used Reset and sealed him again. But I know that even those have come with a price. I know that there was a great chance that I would actually die."

"Then why did you promise? You knew you're going to die, why did you push through with your plan and promised us of the future that all of us will be together?" Karen couldn't hold back and asked.

Eureka looked at her and compared to the calm one, her eyes showed just how much in turmoil she currently is.

"A future is a very broad word, Karen. 10 years from now is a future, 20 years from now is a future. Even a thousand years from now is a future. I was not lying when I said that I would be with you in the future but instead I was relying on the fact that there would be a chance we'll meet again in another future."

"Liar," Karen gritted her teeth and said.

Even the others didn't rebuked her as if they too felt the same as she was.

"Am I? But I already said, I am but a selfish person. Still when I became conscious again, I did my best to come back. Despite not knowing where I was, I did my best to find my way back."

Karen looked away from her. Even Feena and Azusa were looking down, Mamoru and Hideyos.h.i.+ were looking at them.

Rino was still looking at his parents, he didn't know how he will face her. Yukimura was just silent, the fact that he interacted with Eureka in the past was the only reason he was here.

And seeing that his son was fine, he didn't bother saying a word.

"I know all of you are mad, even Raven was greatly angered yesterday. But if I tell you that I was trying my best to return... no to be more precise to wake up? What if I tell you that in order to come back I had to wake up?"

Haruka and Akihiro looked at her in confusion. They didn't hear this from her back then, she haven't told them where she was those times that she was gone.

"I didn't want you to wait in vain for I had no idea if I would really die. That is why I had someone to take away your memories of me in a set span of time. But when I realized that I have my consciousness I did my best to come back before then."

No one looked at her, Hikari was already being carried by Akihiro. She didn't want to speak for she knows this is currently for the others to listen to her elder sister.

"I was selfish indeed, but upon realizing I was actually in a coma. I tried my best to call out for all of you. I have seen lights with different intensity and knew that was you. But before I could reach it, it was gone."

"I once heard you all speaking, as a whole and asked you to call out for me. Because even I myself are losing hope that I could return back then."

They momentarily stopped, there was indeed that one time that they heard her voice. It was weak but they heard it, back in Nana's wedding.

"It was in the end, Raven's voice that pulled me out of my state. He was calling for my name that I was able to reach that light. And finally return to this world."

"Then... Then how did you remember?" Azusa took a deep breath and asked without looking at her.

"A letter. I gave myself a letter to be sent by someone else. It shall be sent once all of you decided to leave me in the dark about my past."

"You really love playing with our emotions don't you? If you already had that plan then you should have just told us in the first place. Then we will let you remember everything," Rino was the one who spoke this time.

Eureka gave a weak smile, truly she really did the right choice to confront all of them in one go. This is indeed emotionally taxing
