Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 174 {Season 2: Not Alone Again}

“How is he doing? Oh, so, huh? All right, make sure he's in the hospital until I get home. Yeah, see you. Take care of yourself, Devil Mask.”

Midnight's call finally came to an end after the Devil Mask who was across there first turned off their call. It's been four days for Yuuki to be in the hospital. The hospital said Yuuki's current condition could be critical. But there is still a chance that his life will be helped. I don't know, maybe because the Japanese man had a myriad of sins in him that it was difficult for him to die.

“Basic. Now I need to do the ritual. After that, Emma, Elena, Yuuki, and the latter killed that Legend Aura. After that.” as Midnight closed her eyes, the figure of the curly red-haired girl appeared in the darkness. Right, once this fantasy is over, Midnight must solve her problem with the woman.

Frankly, solving problems that exist in the real world is not as easy as solving problems that exist in fantasy. If in fantasy is not a problem for them to rely on magical powers and also violence, then in the real world, Midnight must be smart to find a solution. Especially if the conflict involves others.

“Cih! Why are they looking for me?” midnight muttered after that slammed her phone into the sand and left it just like that.

Rather than thinking about her problems in the real world, it was better to have fun with Chloe and the others.

Under the scorching sun, Midnight grimaced, feeling pain in her head. Maybe it's because you think too much and forget to rest.

Midnight pulls out her other phone, just looking at the clock. The sunlight made his screen glare. “Jesus... My battery lives forty?”

“What's Midnight?” ask Kenzo who happened to pass by. The man was carrying a duck buoy along with other swimming equipment. Kenzo tilted his body intending to stare at Midnight's bowed face staring at his phone.

“Nothing. Just, please.Personal issues,” reply Midnight chuckles.

“Hm, the one yesterday was yes?”

Midnight nodded. But before long, the woman immediately distracts Kenzo by pointing her index finger at the ocean. There's Jacqueline and Okka there. The two teenagers played volleyball while floating using a duck buoy.

“So Okka called you,” lied Midnight.

“Eh? Time anyway?” Kenzo turns in disbelief. The man glanced at Okka then returned to the thinly smiling Midnight.

Feeling that what Midnight said was true, Kenzo thoughtlessly said goodbye and ran over to the pair of girls who played volleyball.

Kenzo's ready now, Midnight turns to Ethan. The man did not reveal his nose in front of Midnight. So, where has that man been?

Midnight is forced to open her phone, find Ethan's contact, then call the man. He did not care about wanting to fifteen or even twenty times spam, importantly, the man raised his call. Really, Midnight hates the guy who answers the phone long from her. No matter how old he is and how high he is, as long as his call is raised and his affairs are resolved.

Remembering a few days ago Ethan disappeared and Midnight had to split the group in two.

“Midnight, are you alone?”

A man's voice appeared from behind Midnight. Automatically, Midnight looks back and apparently Megawave. The aura stood not far in front of him carrying his favorite ice-flake.

“And it's clear in your eyes I'm alone again,” response Midnight jutek. Or rather, his mood was not good at the moment.

“Sorry, I just want to make small talk. After all, we haven't seen each other in a long time. You also do not change much except.” Megawave paused his sentence because of doubt if the next sentence is likely to make Midnight offended. Wrinkles on your face. That's how it is. But fortunately, Megawave was able to brake his sentence and wisely changed it to “Your.”

Midnight snorted, “My old eyes broke. Fortunately there are still stocks. By the way, why don't you join them? That's again on the boat ride,” asked Midnight with Megawave to observe teenagers who rode freely while singing their national anthem which is not clear lyrics.

Megawave snorted in amusement at the behavior of the humans. “Neventually ago deh.”

“Lah? Didn't you like it?”

“Us used to like, but if same Aoi. I'm here because there's something I have to tell you. This is very important, so please listen carefully,” explains Megawave who Midnight quickly responded well.

Midnight's entire attention immediately led to Megawave. No longer to the gang of teenagers who at that time was experiencing an incident in the form of their boat that capsized because of the fault of one of its members.

“What is it, Megawave?”

“Soal ritual. You'll run the ritual when?”

“So yes. Hm, have you read the rules?”

Midnight cringing. “Udah. Why the hell?!”

“Not. Know it? If in the ritual book you read, on the last page there are some risks that you must know before starting a ritual. I'm sure that part you haven't read yet,” guess Megawave suspects. Because he knew, despite being not very familiar, he knew the sloppy Midnight nature of the curly red-haired girl.

Megawave will never forget the chatty mouth of the girl who almost every day said that she missed the figure of the brother who was warm, soft, friendly, and careless. Her brother was none other than Midnight himself. Too bad they had to separate because of the problem of treatment differences.

“I'm a human. Yes, it's natural to forget. His name is also a lot of trouble! Not to mention the same members of your group who are almost all stubborn. Doesn't it break my head every time I think about this, that, this, and that?!” midnight Protest. A few minutes later, he fell silent and thought back to Megawave's words.

It was true that the masked Aura of the visor said. He did not read the risks of the ritual he chose. It's obvious, isn't it? The name of the ritual is certainly no stranger to the term tumbal. In essence, there must be a Midnight sacrifice or the ritual will have a good impact on other things but end badly on the person using the ritual. Midnight patted her eel.

Also true. Why don't I think the same is the result? inner Midnight.

At the same time, the wind blew violently swaying the Megawave scarf that floated above his shoulders. The aura was silent while adjusting itself to the silence. He understood the current situation and mood of Midnight.

From the outside, the woman looks ordinary and a hobby once insinuating people with a series of spicy words of hers. However, from within her, Midnight was a kind, friendly, gentle, and careless woman. Exactly what the red curly-haired girl said. In addition to real-world problems, Midnight is also responsible for solving problems in the Carnater world. In fact, the world was not the place of her birth, but the birthplace of her late husband.

Midnight has been involved here and there ever since she set her shoes on to the fantasy world. Then, the presence of Carmine whom Midnight cherishes complicates Midnight.

Despite being close, Midnight and Carmine still had some incompatibility with each other. Like Midnight who is not a vengeful type while Carmine is that type.

With Carmine's vengeance for wanting Yuuki Ogata's family killed in her hands, Midnight becomes entangled. It was Midnight at that time. However, on the other hand, Midnight still gets the luck of Megavile. They loved Midnight as much as their own parents.

“Midnight, I know you're in trouble right now. Your responsibilities are big and many. That's why I want to help you. I also promise I won't tell Afra where you live right now,” Megawave said after a fraction of a minute thinking about comforting Midnight.

The visor-masked aura reversed its entire position facing Midnight. Then, in silence grasped both hands of Midnight.

“For the risk, let me take responsibility. You just go through the ritual to the end, okay?” said.

Midnight was stunned to hear Megawave. Quickly, he turned his face the other way because he did not want his tears to come out wetting his cheeks. To put it bluntly, this burden that Midnight shouldered almost all came from others. Others throw tantrums, while Midnight is forced to desperately search for solutions in order to enjoy a normal life like humans in general.

None of this would have happened if Midnight had not decided to end her life.

None of this would have happened if Midnight had not met her late husband.

None of this would have happened if Midnight had preferred dinner to save Carmine from harming her.

Fourteen years and all Midnight gets is suffering, loneliness, fatigue, and problems.

But hey, everything he's been missing isn't bad either, is it? All the fatigue must have the antidote, namely friends.

Iris turned blue that night glancing at the hordes of teenagers who finally managed to turn their boat upside down. Clearly, Black Aura seemed to be working hard to turn the boat upside down because he was the only one who could stand on the water. The rest soak in sea water while laughing at his fellow people who are soaking wet not because of its shape.

Right, I'm not alone…

“Megawave... Thanks.. Thanks for understanding me despite everything..”.

“Sstt! Forget the past. I'm like that because I know how hard it is to bear all the burdens that others create, right?”

“Iya. Don't mind if I'm like this?” midnight asked as she approached herself in a Megawave decapitation.

“Ngak papa. Relax!” Megawave replied to Midnight's words gently along with her hands tightly hugging the bespectacled woman. The world belongs to both of them. The sound of falling coconuts is not ignored by them. Importantly, both of them were comfortable with the position they had assembled.
