Midnight stopped her steps. After traveling several kilometers of the city area filled with busyness, the woman took her time to rest for a while. Devil Mask and Yumi, who had accompanied him, told him to go find Elena.
Suddenly his mind went blank. Midnight felt, her heart and mind were empty. As if, that innocent loneliness could at any time snatch away the most important part of her feelings. Good if only a hitchhiking, if the loneliness was to persuade him to end his life, it was even another story.
Midnight breathed a heavy sigh. No matter how strong he could defeat the Auras, it was useless if his ability could not be used to protect the people he loved.
“This time... Find Elena. Ck... The couple is the same! One is after me, one wants to repotin me. Want to until when the hell, my life gini continues?” pissed Midnight. For a moment, he took three minutes to ponder.
What from the beginning..I'd better die? But…
Like a leaf blown by the wind, the past where his hand was clasped tightly by Aura who did not want to see him die drowned in the river and froze. Indeed, it was winter. The night was very cold and only a few people wanted to move outside. Even so, it does not rule out the possibility that the highway or bridge there is quiet, right? More at twelve o'clock.
A great opportunity for Midnight to end her life. However, someone he did not think was from another world that actually prevented him from ending his life.
Midnight still remembered the sentence she said during the time that Aura's hand clasped tightly onto her wrist.
“You are precious and you deserve to be happy,” Midnight repeats the sentence that Aura said back then.
Too bad, the one who said the sentence that made Midnight full at that time had already left. Then, what could make him happy while, many people out there who secretly want to carve a wound in his heart?
Midnight looked to the left. Unexpectedly, there was Ethan who somehow sat next to Midnight and offered himself an ice cream corn.
“Eng, I don't know what you like. So, I hope..This ice cream can make you feel calm deh,” said Ethan hesitant and timid.
His face he was facing his pair of black shoes and did not have the guts to look at Midnight's face which at first glance looked flat watching the ice cream he was giving.
He definitely doesn't like Ethan's inner self-confidence.
“Who said you don't like it? I love ice cream corn. Even this is my favorite,” said Midnight softly.
Suddenly, Ethan quickly raised his face and turned towards Midnight with a look of disbelief, delight, and moved. “Totally nih?”
Midnight nodded slowly. “Sama... You're here for what?”
“Oh, the.. About Elena. My acquaintance said he accidentally saw Elena walking down the hallway of the hotel. I don't know which hotel he was referring to because he himself forgot the name of the hotel,” Ethan explained as he gave Midnight the ice cream corn.
Carefully, Midnight picks up the ice cream corn and refocuses on hearing Ethan's explanation just now.
“So, when and at what time did your friend see Elena?” tanya Midnight began to bite down on the soft chocolate ice cream.
“What time? Hm... Between eight o'clock and nine.”
“Oke.. Means, the problem is only in the place and name of the hotel that you do not know... Ck, there's this Yuuki!” the Midnight grunt bit his ice cream corn and felt better afterwards.
Meanwhile, Ethan just kept quiet while putting on a worried look. The man was worried about his sister who had not returned home for two months. The Emma he was looking for could not be found.
Ethan breathed a heavy sigh. He did not think that all the fantasy events that happened to them began with the woman with glasses. Well, Midnight is always involved in any fight.
Imagining how Midnight shares her time taking care of real-world problems and fantasy worlds, it feels impossible for her to bear.
Ethan stared at Midnight who was still enjoying her ice cream corn. Somehow, a smile was etched on Ethan's face.
“You're not tired huh?” ask Ethan for no particular reason.
Both Midnight eyebrows instantly raised. “Capek why?”
“Capek... Ngurusin all this? Plus, you're alone. You're not stressed or depressed?”
Hearing Ethan's expression, Midnight snorted. “Yes, I'm tired. Just so you know, I've repeatedly wanted to end my life just because of this problem. But..” The sentence stopped along with the look of Midnight's face that turned sad.
“He forbade me to kill myself.”

Were it not for his ability to balance the way he stood, Black Aura would have definitely had to bear some embarrassment. Especially in areas that are crowded with visitors.
The aura was also trying perhaps to keep his black hat from escaping from his head. Because, he does not want anyone to think of himself as a cosplayer, fantasy creature, or albino just because his hair is white.
“Chloe, can you slow down? I almost fell,” whispered Black Aura.
Amidst the crowd of park visitors, Chloe focused on pulling the Black Aura and did not seem to listen to that Aura whisper just now.
Chloe's entire gaze was glued to her watch which showed at five in the afternoon. Well, there was actually no important event that was up to making the girl walk in such a hurry. It's just that, considering the afternoon is the time of transition to night time, Chloe felt uncomfortable if she was still wandering outside the house at such a time.
“Before the night shift time. Lucas told me that at such a time, we should go home,” Chloe was like a child that her mother had warned her to go home before magrib arrived.
Black Aura frowned in wonder. “Why is that? Is there a ghost, in this place?”
“There. Usually in the afternoon shift. Ghosts are creepy you know.You can see strong ghosts,” ledek Chloe had-four.
Instantly, Black Aura's face turned into a frown. Well, well, he admits that his strong self is afraid to see ghosts. But, it was actually natural that if he was afraid because, a ghost if he slashed with his sword alone was not injured. Rather, it was his sword that pierced through the ghost's body.
“Guests are see-through, Chloe. You if I tell you to kill a ghost, how about?’ challenge Black Aura and even get a response in the form of an amused grunt from her lover.
“The ghost is dead, Aura. Well, if I did, just go away while he's not bothering us. Stay away doang, what a hard,” his joke after that entered along with Black Aura into the bus.
On the bus, Chloe and Black Aura immediately looked for a comfortable seat and at least a little distance away with a pair of teenagers who were sharing a fight in the front right seat. Chloe thought, is it okay for the driver to hear the sentences that seem excessive?
“We sit at the very back,” proposal Chloe directly approved Black Aura.
“Abis this where are we?”
“Ya, to my house dong. I want to take a shower first, we have dinner together yes, Aura!” obviously Chloe was at the end with a big smile.
Black Aura chuckled. “Okelah... Then we cook dinner or buy?”
“Yes, cook dong! I want you to taste how my cooking tastes.”
“Abis dinner, what do we do?”
“We are together on the roof, see the stars in the sky.”
Well, maybe this is all from Chloe and Black Aura's conversation towards nightfall. Inside that silent and silent bus, the world seemed to belong to the two of them alone.
Chloe turned on her phone and showed Black Aura some of the dinners they were going to eat tonight. I mean, that's what Chloe's going to cook tonight.
Black Aura, curious about Chloe's cooking technique, chooses mashed potatoes and meatloaf.
“Try this cook,” challenge the devious Black Aura.
Chloe was wide-eyed instead of playing looking at Black Aura's index finger that led to the meatloaf.
“Crazy you huh?! But anyway, it looks good. Hmm... I think I have a tool to burn...” Chloe muttered for a moment.
“If there is aja. We made it both. Let it feel that way..”
“Romantisya.” Tempta Black Aura's.
“Ah, sa ae lu..”
