Chapter 13 - Hating conduit

A voice sounded.

Souzou was humming while walking with fruits in his mouth.

Seemingly not even caring about the figure appearing.

Though it was not because he was brave, but that he was bored...

Souzou looked at the blazing sun, flinched, then went back to checking his surroundings, but when he looked down, he saw blue trees.

Relieved and excited, the steps of his started getting louder and faster.

Finally he was here.

Standing in front of the tree, more fruits were plundered by Souzou, Souzou then placed a hand on the bark, it was rough.

Sighing, Souzou took his hands off, with excitement he walked again.

Not even bothering to hide anymore, he started humming once again, while now throwing the stones from his pockets.

After some time, of just doing that, Souzou saw more debris appearing, the trees were decreasing also, the humming was even louder now.

A bit later.

Souzou stood still and in front of him, is the vast expanse of blue and yellow debris covering the whole area, Souzou thought to himself "now for the plan of making the sign", as he thought about it, moving under the shade of a nearby blue tree behind him, putting his hand over his mouth.

Souzou plan went like this, first clear the area, second get the stones only, then make a sign out of them.

Looking prideful, Souzou stepped into the debris, now walking, and searching for the spot he cleared yesterday, after some time, he found it.

A space, cleared off debris, as he got closer, Souzou noticed the paintings on the floor, lines painted, weird shapes that are different from each other.

Astonished.

Thinking about it for a bit, Souzou was shocked, baffled, how did he think floors were natural, the paintings were not normal but neither was the smooth floor.

Frowning, Souzou thought to himself "when did i get so dumb?!?, am i on human land then??, wait am i standing on ruins!?, is someone just pranking me on another level?!???", stopping himself, he ignored it for now.

Souzou still looking at the paintings on the floor, "is this actually real?", thinking about it.

After a bit, he got up, then looked at the nearby debris, trying to guess where he is at, he thought it was a desert of some sort.

Souzou picked up a stone, then placed it in another place, Souzou then tried to pick up as many debris as he could, the smell of it was attacking him, and the yellowish white wood was making him scared, Souzou started regretting his idea of making the sign as big as he could.

Souzou thought to himself "how did i even do it yesterday?"

In disgust, Souzou carried the small pile of debris on his hands to outside of the cleared out space, he dropped it down, then he did it again.

Walking over to the debris, picking up again, then walked back and dropped it again.

He done it again, again, again, more space was cleared, the pile outside it, grew.

Souzou holding debris in his hands, in his thoughts, moving calmly, dropping the debris once again, a heavy sound vibrated through the air, he walked up again to the debris, he saw the cleared out debris revealed more painted floor.

So, he continued, as time passed by.

Working like a construction worker, Souzou lifted the debris, it was fun to do, he started working faster, a thought came to him, it was about the painted floor, though he was still doing all of this because of the plan, Souzou was interested on the floor paintings, it felt very special to be seeing a floor like that, Motivating Souzou even further, he hummed while doing so.

Then, falling on the ground, Souzou grimaced in pain, as the debris fell from his hand, "how did i fall this time..", groaning as he said, he stood up with his hands, then picked up the debris, being way to motivated to let it hinder him.

Souzou smiled, more happier then before, he was feeling like he was making progress, even imagining the size of the sign.

After a while.

Souzou was sweating under the heat of the sun, cursing in his thoughts, moving tiredly, then throwing the debris at the pile, a loud sound echoed.

Putting his hands on his knees, exhaling and inhaling rapidly, brushing off his sweat from time to time, he could almost feel like vomiting any second.

Lamenting, Souzou said "this is it, am dying, why should i even care, i don't even know where the heck am i?!!?, wait, i can do this, i already have a lot of time", turning his head to the sun, it seems like it was going to set soon...

Souzou glared at the sun in frustration, looking back at the space he cleared, it was not that big at all, even the doctor room was bigger then the space he cleared, the space was revealing a grey floor full of dark paintings on it.

Tired, time was running out, but it was not that he was annoyed by those two, it was instead by how small his plan progressed.

Souzou face twitched, frustration rose, and he yelled "WHAT IS THIS SHIT, WHAT THE HECK WAS I DOING ALL OF THAT FOR THEN HUH!?!?!?, HOW MUCH TIME DOES THIS SHITTY PLAN NEED".

It was going to go dark soon, Souzou stopped himself, then looked at the sun set, he noticed that he was thirsty again...

Wanting to just drink water, he ate fruits to satiate himself for now.

Some time passed.

Not clearing the debris anymore, watching the sunset in silence, Laying his back under the tree while sitting, a question arose in his head, it was about the floor "did people use to live here?, but i never saw any ruins so why is a floor randomly is here??, this is so weird". 

More time passed as the sun set, the red sun then disappeared, shadows also disappeared, it was dark again, not panicking like last time, he was already to tired, to spent, and still a bit irritated.

The smooth floor touched Souzou back, trying to sleep again.

Souzou thought to himself "is this just the same as yesterday, well it did change a bit, i wonder how am still not sick from eating these fruits".

A bit after, a white radiant light shone, Souzou opened his eyes, seeing the reflecting blues stones, then he noticed the pile, it was also beautiful to look at.

Souzou thought to himself "is no one going to come to this place, i would have begged my parents to come here, maybe".

As he turned his head he noticed something, it was emitting the light of silver once again.

Once again, the full moon appeared in his eyes, not even knowing what to think, his mouth gaped, the full moon happened, although it was not as strong as he remembered, it still was impossible for a full moon to happen again day after day.

Words got stuck in his mouth, horrified by it.

Shaking with fear.

It clicked on his mind.

"did time rewind?!, is that why i don't feel sick by eating so much??!" Souzou thought that it was the infamous time loop, but he did do something from yesterday, and it was still here, he was asking himself, how.

Then suddenly he realized something, the moon appeared to be a full moon, but it was not a full moon, it doesn't change for a day or two.

Souzou looked at himself dumbfounded.

Souzou sighed with relief, feeling stupid for a while, he ignored it and stared at the pile of stones in awe of its placating beauty.

Closing his eyes, Souzou slept.
