Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 178 {Season 2: Illusi}

“Chloe! Chloe's! Oh! The ball will go hoozy!”

Chloe flinched in shock as she received a loud pat on her back head. Apparently Midnight. The bespectacled round woman shook her head to see Chloe who had just been awakened from her daydream.

Meanwhile, behind Midnight, Jacqueline and Okka are busy laughing at him then back to work just as Midnight turns to check on the awkwardness behind him.

Midnight looked ahead, precisely facing Chloe head-on.

“What are you thinking about? Long time talking. I know you made sponge. If left behind bengong that, there will be a hell sponge,” Midnight sneer slowly. Intended to advise Chloe but inclined to insinuate the girl from repeating the same mistake.

Chloe, who had just realized herself, made a scout sponge, reflexed up from her dining chair, then nimbly wore gloves. The girl opened her oven, ensuring the maturity of the sponge she roasted. Thankfully, the balls were grilled evenly.

When stabbed using a stick. The ball of sight is not deflated. That means, Chloe roasted it perfectly. Good then. That is, Chloe just cut the sponge of the view then put a few pieces of fries and three pieces of sponge look for Black Aura.

In the midst of arranging the dishes he would give Black Aura, that was when, Chloe froze. Something strange just happened.

Wait a minute... I... What do I do now? Didn't I give you dinner tonight? Didn't I just climb the stairs, keep meeting Black Aura? chloe's mind is full of question marks.

The girl swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. So, what does it mean with the scorched sponge earlier? What does it mean to dream?

Her blue iris was shaking violently. His feelings were shaken by the heavy shock of his mysterious origin. When he saw the short hand on the wall clock, it was still showing at half-six.

“Still afternoon?” he mumbled in disbelief.

His irises then lead to Midnight and Okka who are busy commenting on Jacqueline's cucumber ice. Next to them, Jacqueline is seen nagging at not being happy to hear the scathing comments from Midnight that Okka helped.

When her blue slices returned to the plate containing several pieces of potatoes and three pieces of pandanus, the time around Chloe suddenly stopped. As if everything seemed lifeless and moving.

Chloe wasn't sure what she was doing before was just her daydream. Chloe's not sure the sponge she just presented is real. He was convinced that he was currently in a dreamland. The one whose real self was asleep while putting his head on the shoulders of Black Aura.

“Lho, Chloe? Why just shut up? Want to bring Black Aura dinner huh?” ask Jacqueline.

“Oh, Black Aura is on the roof now. Mumpung alone, samperin aja he directly,” timpal Midnight relaxed.

“Cye.. So sweet times the hell you guys! What if we let Chloe and Black Aura eat together on the roof. It feels a bit like what if you eat together with people who are dating,” joked Okka after that burst his laughter.

“Not funny anyway, haha.” taunted Jacqueline.

Despite the oral war between Jacqueline and Okka, Chloe silently turned her body against the kitchen door. That's what Midnight said. Black Aura at 17:40 is enjoying the beautiful orange sky at dusk. Only the aura that occupies the roof. There's nothing else.

Chloe still clearly remembered their conversation back then. One of them is:

“Yes, tired, stupid!”

“But, if you already love, how?”

As the long needle leads to the eleven lift, Chloe's head fills in a mess. The girl suddenly found it difficult to distinguish what was real from not. All this time, Chloe felt mentally fine. Although she often daydreams at certain times, Chloe rarely goes through the term hallucination.

The words that Black Aura said back then sounded very clear on his ears. That faint smile of Aura as well. Violet beads and her tears as well. So, why did the incident on the roof have to end as an illusion?

Impossible? I can't be hallucinating!

Chloe who was fed up with the chaos in her mind, decided to seek peace on the roof of the place where Black Aura was relaxing.

His heart is beating fast. But the effect is different from what he felt a month ago. His heart was pounding unsteadily not because of the pounding but rather, afraid of seeing Black Aura reject his presence.

“Black Aura still wants to accept me, right? Yeah, right?” chloe muttered nervously.

In front of him there are currently dozens of stairs that will deliver it to the rooftop. The door that connects the dark hallway that Chloe will pass later with the rooftop where Black Aura relaxes is clearly closed very tightly.

Before her right leg climbed the first rung of stairs, Chloe took her breath slowly. Then throw.

“I can definitely! I can definitely make Black Aura back together.”.

Kriet's…

Far beyond his expectations, the Black Aura that Chloe thought was still watching the sun sinking process turned out to open the tightly shut door and froze on the spot.

Black Aura who was quite surprised to find Chloe who was standing not far in front of him, stepped back down several steps.

Chloe thought Black Aura would come up to her and smile at her. But, the reality this time is even more painful than Chloe who realizes that the sweet incident on the roof a few minutes ago is just an illusion. Who would have thought, that Aura continued her steps without greeting Chloe in the least. As if Chloe beside him was just the wind then meaningless. Just a street light that's been dead for a long time.

“Eh?”

He disregarded me? It's not possible, is it?

Chloe looked back and was stunned to know that Black Aura was getting farther away from Chloe. That Aura move brought the owner to the dining room where they should have gathered tonight.

“So so yes? You're mad at me. Because I...” Chloe looked for a moment at the plate containing potatoes and three pandanus balls. Crisp and soft seem a bit hard to mix. What's more, the sponge is included in the dessert category.

“Then, the ritual is tomorrow. Why did I destroy everything today? Why?”

Chloe fell silent. It seems, persuaded by the sweet word strands were free. That aura will not return to being the figure of Black Aura who is as attentive and warm as before.

Maybe this is the end of their bond. Chloe felt foolish to have entered this fantasy world. Black Aura who was the reason Chloe came to Carnater left her. Be ill. Be ill.

Chloe had difficulty breathing because of her chest pain at the time.

The Black Aura that would normally come to his aid, heal his pain, and give warmth was now no longer beside him.

“He went... He went.. It's all my fault. Wrong Ethan. My fault. Wrong Ethan.”

Chloe started bragging indistinctly along with tears overflowing. Even though the temperature in the hallway was very cold, Chloe actually felt hot. Both legs were squeezed until finally fell down along with the plate that hit the floor surface.

Messy dishes that Chloe had intended to give to Black Aura were now scattered on the floor.

“Aura... There's no way we're breaking up, right? No way, right? No way!” His sobs are getting louder. Chloe's lonely. Alone, without a hug one endures his pain alone.

Chloe hoped once, all the pain that attacked her chest was an illusion.

Chloe hoped that the Black Aura that crossed her without greeting was also an illusion.

Chloe hoped that this loneliness was an illusion.

Chloe hoped, today is an illusion.

Thats enough. He could no longer bear this unbearable pain. Whatever tip the sword pierced through his body, it was even more painful to be ignored by the people he loved.

Ignored and ignored.

Chloe understands now. Black Aura is Black Aura. No matter how much he faced the changes of the world, time, and times, his vengeful nature was already a part of him.

“Hiks. Don't wanna! I still want to be with Aura! I want to be carried, hand held, and eat potatoes with him.”.

“I want to fight with him. I want to feel more fantasy with her..Hiks.”.

As her eyes closed and tried to stop the rush of her tears, there appeared some beautiful pieces of Chloe's memory with Black Aura.

Start in the middle of the snowy forest, in the middle of the city, in hotels, in cafes, on cruise ships, and on trees.

Instead of feeling better, Chloe's chest is actually getting crowded.

To be honest, Chloe's first love isn't Aoi. Not Ethan. Except for Black Aura. Black Aura is veronica Chloe.

The purple color of the veronica petals was the violet bead of Black Aura that glowed in the middle of the dark night under the silence of the snow stubs. Chloe remembered the moment that Aura was trying to protect her from Aurora who was about to kill her with her flagship knife.

When Chloe is scared or when her life is threatened, Black Aura always has many ways to protect her. Even to the point of allowing himself to be hit by his opponent's attack.

“Is this the end of our fantasy story?”
