Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 132 {Mission Looking for Ritual and Ethan Materials (Part 2)}

It had been an hour more they walked and finally arrived at a deserted city. The buildings that stood did not look tall. It even looks fragile. Its foundation was shrouded in completely uninvited wild plants as well as some of the shops lined up were clearly empty. The dark atmosphere that enveloped the city quickly hunted their feelings. Except for Black Aura who was already used to the atmosphere.

Other than walking, Chloe still found it difficult to take her eyes off Black Aura. His manner was stiff every time he was spoken to by her. Sometimes, Aoi and Jacqueline who were innately relaxed when invited to talk became awkward and their topic ended quickly.

Actually, Chloe was curious as to what Black Aura was thinking at the moment. It is unfortunate that he is not endowed with the ability to read people's minds. If he had that ability, then he could provide a solution for Black Aura so that the Aura could think clearly while living his daily life as usual. Fight as he pleases.

Chloe thought for a moment. Since he was human, he thought about what mistake he had made to the point of making Black Aura become silent and stiff like this.

“What's up, Chloe? You look uncomfortable from earlier,” asked Aoi worriedly. However, the question was instead answered by a brief slit from Chloe who felt herself to be fine.

“Ngak papa. Just enjoy the scenery in this city,” lies Chloe. The girl also tried not to say anything in her mind as she doubted that Black Aura was still activating the person's mind-reading ability.

Doubtful, Aoi chose to give up and called out to Black Aura by nudging the Aura elbow with her elbow. “Oi, your boyfriend why shut up?”

The aura turned with a look of wonder on its face. Black Aura glanced at Chloe who looked ordinary. Even her sweet smile floated on her face. Strange from where? Black Aura thought so.

Her violet bead is rotating lazily and tells Aoi to watch Chloe's face carefully that the girl is fine.

“See, there is nothing wrong with him,” Black Aura said.

“After all, you should ask him directly. I know there's something Chloe wants from you. You guys are dating. You should understand each other and not hide too much. Little things like that can ruin your relationship. Remember that!” aoi's lecture whispered a little. Even though he really can't do it. He knew that Black Aura was Aura. Aura did not seem to have the knowledge of many ways of relating to humans. Especially the dating status. Aoi was sure, Chloe and Black Aura were already connected to each other. They are very close and rarely fight. There was indeed a bit of debate between them and it was only natural for Aoi since she and Jacqueline were too. Even longer to the point of threatening each other was accompanied by sarcastic insinuations from Jacqueline.

Black Aura let out a heavy sigh. His flat-set voice turned to worry. Something terrifying was approaching his way of thinking. He becomes unable to focus on his mission to find Ethan and is instead fixated on Chloe's happiness and comfort. Instead of regretting, instead Black Aura was glad that she could have someone who could fill the void within her. However, without him realizing it, he had other responsibilities. Moreover, he is a man.

Is it because I've been hiding a lot of secrets from Chloe, so Chloe's been quiet? Inner Black Aura fretted.

“I guess, you two should first,” suggested Aoi. Meanwhile, Jacqueline invites Chloe to talk so that the attention of the girl is not focused on Aoi and Black Aura who are discussing it.

“Means, we split?” black Aura asked just to be sure.

Aoi nodded. Shortly after, revealing his faint smile to Black Aura. “Do not worry about your relationship. Believe yourself. I understand that you who are not human need to learn many things how to make others happy, right?”

Black Aura nodded. Aoi's speech was right on target with what she was feeling right now. Perhaps, it was time for him to hear a lecture from Aoi.

“Eh, Chloe. Go to that store yuk! Like a clothing store anyway,” Jacqueline took Chloe's hand and pulled the girl away from Aoi and Black Aura.

“But it, the store has been quiet for a long time.”

Aoi nodded quickly. In his heart he thanked Jacqueline for her hard work. Now, only Aoi and Black Aura have a discussion about Chloe's feelings and her behavior.

Aoi pulled Black Aura to a desolate place far from Chloe's eye reach. After making sure their position was safe, then Aoi said something that was in her head.

First of all, the Japanese man took a deep breath and threw it away slowly. His gaze turned solemn even though Black Aura could catch the gentle side of the gaze.

“I'll teach you how to make Chloe happy! I will be a teacher of love for you!”he said that instantly made Black Aura shocked half to death.

“What? You're gonna teach me? But how?” Black Aura was shocked to hear Aoi's offer of steadily proposing herself as a love teacher for Black Aura. Which means, the Japanese man will give some tips so that Black Aura can make Chloe comfortable in his arms. And again, no charge whatsoever because it is the basis of Aoi's desire to see Chloe and Black Aura happy.

“Then let me take care of it. I just feel like you're the only one who can make Chloe happy. For me, you're not much different from Lucas. Maybe, Chloe used to like me. Well, that was my gut feeling. But it's a fact that he likes me. Unfortunately, I already have Jacqueline who can fill my heart. That's why, I'm asking you who Chloe likes and likes, so that you two get along well until you have a family. I don't mind helping you even for free. I want to help with a sincere heart. That's it, Aura,” beber Aoi steady.

That look of confidence made Black Aura so indecisive, However, in retrospect, there was no harm in confirming Aoi's offer. And the fact that Aoi is Chloe's best friend makes Black Aura more convinced of the kindness of the Japanese man.

“You've also been trying to find me for Chloe, haven't you?” added Aoi.

“Iya,” replied Black Aura even though he basically didn't think so much about it. “Oh, yes, Ao.. I think I know the reason why Chloe suddenly cried earlier.”

Aoi's eyes widened. Enthusiastically, the man asked, “Why? If you knew, you would have no way to cheer him up?”

“Iya. I did it by giving him fries. I don't know if that's enough for him or not. What is clear, the dead man was his brother.”

“EEh?!” the intonation of Aoi's voice rose from shock and disbelief. “Since when did you know Lucas? If you know, why don't you please aba.”.

Buk up!

Black Aura threw her punch at the wall to Aoi's left. The Japanese man was silent at once at the reaction of Black Aura who seemed to be uncomfortable with his response just now.

“Since the beginning, I did not know that the dead man was Lucas, his brother Chloe. I just found out from mom. And I just found out about that story from Ethan. The man we're looking for. However, I ask you to keep your mouth shut about this. I don't want Chloe to be sad and vindictive after knowing this fact,” Black Aura said.

“So yes.. So, the culprits are Emma and Huke. I still don't know what Lucas' relationship with Emma used to be. But obviously, I will keep this a secret. I'm just afraid that this secret can be quickly revealed. You know, there are times when we're honest about something. Because, too many secrets can also interfere with your relationship,” explained Aoi worried. On the other hand, she didn't want to make Chloe sad. Well, according to him, it's best to let Black Aura take care of it. While his job as a teacher of love for Black Aura still he run for the happiness of Chloe.
