Curse Girl

Chapter 12: Celebration Ceremony

The sky displays the original color, a sign that the twilight time has ended. The sparks were instantly made to bloom in the sky, producing a boisterous sound that delighted the people. All of them concluded a joyful smile, without any sense of silence in this city called Shikuro.

"Features Trust …. What's all that dies—"

"Yes, that's it. Enjoy your human life for the night, "cut down Ilfra before turning around and intending to leave, but stopped by Yi's words.

"I'm alive ... again? I live, I live …." Ilfra turned her head and looked at Yi who was crying happily.

"T–thank you ...," Yi said as she lowered her gaze. "Although only tonight, I want to meet my parents. It's okay, even if they don't know me. Hicks."

Ilfra took a book and a pen from her waist bag, and wrote a sentence there. He walked over to Yi and showed the writing. Yi showed a look of wonder and confusion for a moment, then replaced with a nod.

"All right, I'll see him later."

Ilfra's smile concluded and a step back was made to achieve the goal: get out of the school environment. However, his mouth spoke again when he remembered the words of the student behind.

"𝘛𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨, 𝘺𝘢, 𝘈𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘺𝘢 𝘠𝘪. 𝘛𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘩."

A white haired girl sighed, then chose to enjoy the crowd around. The luster and sound of fireworks, the sound of dance music, the night market and its games, and the group of believers who are heading to the big temple in the city of Shikuro.

His gaze turned toward the sparks that lit up in the sky, adorning the carefree sound of the banging instrument. I know, the beings and the dead are being revived. All of this must have been for a reason, right, God?

𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘢𝘯 𝘒𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘢𝘯. 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪 𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘵𝘶 𝘬𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘬 𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘥𝘰𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘨𝘪 𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘯𝘺𝘢, 𝘥𝘪 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘢 𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘩 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘩𝘭𝘶𝘬-𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘩𝘭𝘶𝘬 𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘶 𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪 𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘢𝘥𝘪 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘱. 𝘕𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘯, 𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘬 𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘶𝘢 𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪 𝘣𝘪𝘴𝘢 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘱 𝘥𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘶𝘳 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘬 𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘺𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪 𝘪𝘯𝘪. 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪 𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘢𝘥𝘪 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘩𝘭𝘶𝘬 𝘴𝘢𝘫𝘢.

It's like this hour. Shifera Ilina Symphony—white haired girl with black hoodie—back satin after seeing the clock on her phone: 07.44 PM, Sunday 22 January. He quickly went from where he looked at the sparks, as well as the crowd of people in the night market that only existed tonight. Although when he almost reached a deserted location, his shoulders were suddenly patted softly.

"Eh? Ah, forgive me. I think you're the one I'm looking for" said a girl wearing a black school uniform. Lina displayed a question mark from her blue eyes, but the girl in front of her was confused instead.

"Well, who are you looking for?"

"Arimiya Yi," the girl replied before concluding a faint smile.

Lina slightly widened the pupils of the eyes along with the mind displaying the information of the name. He could not hide his surprise, nor did he believe what he was hearing.

"Then I go, yeah. Once again I'm sorry for bothering you."

"Wait."

The brownish-black-haired girl's arms were instantly grasped by Lina, followed by the cold wind and the sound of fireworks. Her net widened slightly due to the coldness of Lina's hand, causing her to look back.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. I'm looking for my friend named—"

"You are Yi Arimiya. The class leader who can't be joked around …." It was clear Lina's words were getting whirring, causing uncomfortable feelings to appear.

"Sorry, yeah. I have to go" said the girl, taking Lina's grip off and stepping away in the crowd. Lina set her gaze down, along with a thought that flowed distrust.

What.... Yi really died and became a creature? But, why don't I? Wh why? Lina bit her lips when a feeling of displeasure was created. Ilfra, why are you so elusive?

The night showed her cold feelings. A quiet gust accompanied by a burst of sparks. The pink-haired girl stepped into the cemetery, then stopped in front of the gravestones of her parents. After rubbing the bluish-gray stone, a white flower he put it with a thin smile.

I'm glad you and mom are calm there, though sad as well for not being able to meet on this resurrection night. Ilfra Alfyna Avylin—the girl with a predominantly pink appearance— fluttered for a while because of the calmness that anila gave, although the crowded voice in the city center could still be heard.

He went up and looked at the stars in the sky, then back to the tombstone of his parents. I'm sorry I can't linger here, Dad, Mom. Ilfra will come again as usual.

Ilfra walked away from the funeral, but stopped when she felt something behind her. The cold and dark that are more dense than night with Anila. He tried to be indifferent by continuing the journey, but a sentence was instantly heard to his normal ear.

"So you, the controller of the black creatures? It's unexpected …."

Curiosity was created, but indifference kept pushing Ilfra away. However, his feet fell silent on the spot and felt unwilling to move, causing his mouth that wanted to say to eliminate the figure behind.

"If you want to talk, I'll break your neck right now. Don't even think of calling your subordinates who are almost all human tonight."

A woman, that is what Ilfra realized from the sharp voice that is now attached to the eardrum. A piece of iron ready to behead from the front of the neck made Ilfra unable to do much. He could only flinch while breathing normally, letting the desire of the knife-wielding female be granted.

"Huh. I'm more and more unsure of you indulging in this wish" whispered the woman with the pitch-black hair that was slightly visible to the tip of Ilfra's eyes.

A slight pain was created as the blade slashed the skin of the neck, causing Ilfra's blackish-red blood to flow out of its path. The night breeze as well as the fireworks that returned sparkling in the sky instantly filled the silence, bringing shock to the black haired female.

𝘚𝘦𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘢𝘬𝘶 𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘬 𝘮𝘢𝘶 𝘱𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘪 𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘶 𝘬𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘢 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘪. 𝘕𝘢𝘮𝘶𝘯, 𝘬𝘢𝘶 𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘬𝘯𝘺𝘢 𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘬𝘶 𝘵𝘢𝘶 𝘫𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘴.

"Silver Black Hair," Ilfra shrieked after streaming her inner expression into the brain of the interlocutor. His hand immediately took over the knife in front of the neck, throwing it away so that he could get away from the entrapment situation.

The long black haired woman looked stunned and stiff as she froze. Sight wide to see the departure of Ilfra who really did not ignore him. Although he wanted to stop the girl younger than him, his body still did not support the desire.

Damnit. What the hell happened to me just now? the woman's inner self with her breath and irregular heartbeat. The shackles that feel turned off for a moment really disturb the brain to think. Because the figure of Ilfra that has gone far and invisible to the view, a sigh was released resignedly.

"Damn. Do you seem to have to meet normally? Hm. That girl is really hard to understand."
