The ritual materials they were looking for were now one more. It's still mysterious and only Midnight knows. Plus a missing man.
“Means, we just finished two puzzles. Yeah, right?” Chloe twisted her body facing the full Black Aura. Chloe's serious-looking gaze left Black Aura perplexed. It's not usually Chloe looks like that.
“Depends,” reply Black Aura brief.
“Oh, so ya?”
Black Aura let out a short sigh before finally revealing the talk Midnight had told her. It's possible that some people have heard of Jacqueline and Aoi, but not Chloe. The girl sometimes likes to miss out on some important things. Therefore, Midnight inevitably had to retell to Black Aura who was close to the blonde girl.
“Actually we don't want to involve you. But well, because it's been so far. You can only complete the two puzzles after us,” explained Black Aura after that smile. His smile seemed thin as if it showed how tired the Aura was.
Chloe who realized that just stood up and pulled Black Aura's hand to get up from her sitting position. “You must be tired, right? If so, we'll go down and have dinner. After that continue the story again.”
“O-okay..” Black Aura can only obey what Chloe said because really, she is really tired. She thought, there's no way she's asking Chloe to hold her. Where does his pride want him to put it?
“Midnight bring plenty of snacks and dinner. You should eat a lot! Uh, wait... Aura like you eat it just like us huh?” Chloe stopped her steps and turned to look at Black Aura with a puzzled expression.
“Don't you know that from the beginning? I mean, from us meeting? Don't tell me, you feel weird if I eat human food?” Black Aura started to suspect. On the other hand, Aura was curious about the sentence that Chloe was going to say next. Tonight will be a long night. Black Aura wanted to at least take an hour or two to chat with Chloe. He was now slowly able to accept this somewhat chatty personality of his. Maybe because he had someone he assumed had filled his emptiness.
“Not strange. Kayak. Why would someone as cruel as you eat her softly? No match for the person,” Chloe spouted her laughter after that.
Black Aura just looked at her boyfriend with an unhappy expression. “Funny huh?”
“Hahaha! Appreciable. Why not laugh? Don't tell me, you forgot how to laugh how,” Chloe ruffled her waist after landing safely after being helped by Black Aura down one by one the branches of the tall tree.
Black Aura rolled her eyes lazily. “Ngot forgot. Only your humor is too low,” taunted Black Aura with a sly expression. The aura grinned before Chloe and immediately got an attack in the form of the girl's footrest that led directly on the right foot of Black Aura. Unfortunately, the attempt failed because Chloe lost quickly to Black Aura. The girl ruffled her coarse hair not admitting her defeat.
Chloe threw her face and breath in the other direction. Just then, there was his gaze fixated on the dark forest area. There were only tall grasses and trees with leafy leaves that swayed small in the wind. Indeed there is nothing interesting there other than the horror that the area shows directly. However, in addition to the horror, Chloe was able to catch anything unusual that lured Chloe to the place. No matter the fear that comes to his mind and the hair that has begun to brim. Chloe realized that she was not alone. There was a Black Aura beside her and that Aura was Chloe sure she would not leave it.
Feeling strange with Chloe's sudden silent behavior, Black Aura's bead violet glanced at the dark place within the forest not so far away from them.
“Don't be dumb,” Black Aura pushes Chloe's back slowly.
“Sorry. I just wonder what is in that dark place. There yuk!” take Chloe. Without realizing it, he forgot his dinner plans and told them only out of curiosity about the dark forest. Especially if not trees, grass, animals, and crickets. If it was shit, they could have found a beast hiding behind the darkness and secretly eyeing their flesh.
“Lah? He said he wanted to eat?”
“Ngak be. I'm going there. Where know we can find the last ritual ingredient,” Chloe looked at Black Aura straight. His eyeballs were not sparkling but the impression was like the girl was begging Black Aura to accompany him to a place that could have been dangerous in the future.
“Alright.. But don't be long. I'm tired of it.”
“Iya, I know that. I'm just asking you to accompany me. I'm sure, there are no enemies around here.”
Chloe walked ahead of Black Aura, while the Aura followed her with lazy steps. Black Aura notices the surrounding fear that a strange creature suddenly bites Chloe's hand.
“Borrow your sword!”
“Gragrass cut. The grass in front is very tall. I'm afraid there's a snake.”
“Ck, that's why we should go back to the tent only!” firmly Black Aura started to grow furious.
Chloe pouting. “However. Not until one minute is done!” reject it.
“Huft... Okay.”
Black Aura gave up and gave her sword to Chloe. The girl shouted excitedly after being lent the weapon she would use to mow the grass. Chloe also began to play her hand to slash through the wild grass in front of her. The grass blocked his path. Because of this, Chloe insists on borrowing her lover's weapon and cutting it to the ground. Chloe did that kind of thing for the sake of other people who were said to be adventuring in the forest.
“If tonight the last ritual material can be found, tomorrow morning just start the ritual and we can go for a walk. I really want both of us to stay at the villa or at the hotel. Ah, when I graduate, I'd love you to see me wearing a toga hat. Keep graduation uniforms. You ever seen?” chloe was enthusiastic even though her face and body were facing forward.
“Not yet. Uniform is good huh?”
“Good. But, in order to get that uniform, I have to study harder and be a good student. That's aja. I'm going to S... Oh, you don't understand, about college,” Chloe chuckles while apologizing repeatedly.
“Ngak papa's. I'm just confused. I know nothing about college and the human world. You're not shy about having a girlfriend..”.
Chloe's steps automatically stop. He twisted his body until faced with Black Aura. “Ep! Don't talk about it! Relax Aja Aura. You should also be confident in your above average fighting skills!”
“Masa? You're overreacting, Chloe.”
“Excess what? It's true. Falling in love is spontaneous for me. If it is already done, it is difficult to turn away. Pas know you also accept me.. I'm sure happy dong!” chloe said confidently. The shame in him tried to dig as deep as possible so as not to disturb their sweet moment at this time.
“Black Aura, give me your right hand!” chloe's orders are sudden.
Black Aura who was a bit half surprised was directly obeying Chloe's words. The aura raised his hand and gently grasped his girlfriend.
“This name is a coupling,” Chloe shows the position of the hands of the two of them who are tied to each other. “How does it feel?”
“Nyaman...” although ngasal, but Black Aura felt that was the answer. The words suddenly appeared in his mind.
Chloe chuckles. “You mind not if our hands are like this?”
“Not tuh.”
“Good. If we join forces, any obstacle we can face together. That's what Lucas said before breaking up with his girlfriend,”. Their originally silent feet slowly advanced and stepped forward. Just a few more stops to the dark area.
Black Aura did not seem to think too much about the darkness of the area. His attention was entirely fixed on the story Chloe told. Their hands were still linked to each other. There is no desire to be released in their minds. There is only the feeling of wanting to get closer.
Chloe told me enthusiastically. She has also worked on her roles as Chloe in the past and Lucas, her brother. Such an expression was what made Black Aura even more comfortable around Chloe. Black Aura was worried, did the ruthless Aura seem to deserve the warmth of a human? Despite that, Black Aura did not want to distance herself from the warmth that Chloe was spreading to her.
