Fate Leads Me to You [Heavenly Delusion]

Inazaki Robin speaks first, his voice teasing as he says with a laugh, "Himawari doesn't want the cannibal monsters finding out, either, does she?"

The girl, tears in her eyes, gives up resisting.

Hinata Himawari's feelings for Inazaki Robin are as genuine as sunlight falling in winter: rare and precious.

But Inazaki Robin can't return any genuine feelings to Hinata Himawari.

Strip away his human-looking exterior and his disguise, and all you'll find is a huge hole. The emptiness inside swallows everything he feels, leaving only strangeness, obsession, distortion, pain, indifference, lewdness, madness, despair, and chaos: everything ugly, insincere, and unlovely.

Someone like that.

Inazaki Robin: "Before the disaster, people saw aliens."

People usually believe aliens don't exist, while love does. But the truth is that love doesn't exist, while aliens do.

Hinata Himawari turns around and sees Inazaki Robin's expression, innocent and romantic.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want Himawari to abandon me."

Inazaki Robin lowers his eyes. The pale red glow of the firelight falls across his face, making him look almost shy. Hinata Himawari thinks so too. She reaches out and taps the bridge of his nose, but the fiery glow doesn't color her hand.

She suddenly realizes what it is, and a flush rises on her face too.

Red as a wildfire sparked in the dry season.

The children at Heavenly Kingdom Academy are born from Mina's gene editing: children of God, with psychic powers and the ability to see the future.

They foresee their own futures and destinies.

Some see them clearly, while others see them only vaguely.

Himawari, a fifth-generation student, also has precognitive abilities.

Hinata Himawari has a vague vision of a destined person in her future. At the place fate has chosen, she and that person embrace tightly, bound together and never to part until death comes.

In the end, it does come true, just not quite the way she imagined.
