Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 34's

Chloe opened her eyes slowly. He found the ceiling of a very foreign room in his vision. The bed that was holding the weight of his body felt much more comfortable this time. The room was cold and neat.

Behind the dewy window glass, Chloe faintly saw some snowflakes falling. The speed of the fall is quite fast. They are carried away by the wind.

"D-wh-wh...!" Chloe complained of pain in her back. The pain scared him. Afraid that he will have paralysis ten minutes into the future.

In addition to trying to endure the pain, Chloe also noticed her silent surroundings. The room room with sky blue painted walls, two bookshelves attached to the wall containing dozens of novel books, and some additional items as a complement to the living atmosphere of the room.

"Good, good is not lost." Chloe chirps when she finds her favorite Megavile book. He took the book and placed it next to himself.

Kriet...

Someone just opened the door and pushed him. Letting the girl see her figure carrying a tray containing a plate of fries and a small bowl of cheese sauce.

"Will...?" Chloe was wide in disbelief as soon as she saw the figure of a Japanese man who had made her crazy about her loneliness.

"Eat... I'm sorry, if I don't tell you."

"No." Answer Chloe jutek.

"Well? Huft... Okay..." Aoi picked up a chair later, putting it next to Chloe's bed. Not to forget, he put a tray of fries on the table.

"I was wrong. I didn't hear about this incident in the first place. At first, I didn't want you to get involved. But, apparently... You're involved." Reveal it by lowering his head.

Chloe rolled both her eyes lazily. "Who the hell, who doesn't panic if he knows his best friend is in trouble. Automatically, I'm looking!" Chloe's.

"At that time, I would say that our world has some strange species popping up. I'm just afraid your curiosity might endanger you."

"Your...! You don't see my battered appearance like this?"

"Well that's it..."

"That's it... Instead of talking about this, I have some questions you should answer."

Aoi turned her head slightly, "What is that?"

"Questions surrounding Aura and since when did you start getting involved with things like? Even without my knowledge!"

"Eh? Don't be angry, ma'am! Alright... In short, after I got home from part-time work, I walked over to the bakery. Before arriving, I found a woman who behaved strangely. Ah, that time... I didn't care much about it because I was hungry. But over time, her behavior has intrigued me more and more. I went to him and..."

Aoi hung up her explanation and took off her jacket. He showed a slash wound on his right shoulder. It seems, the wound is deep.

Chloe grimaced as if feeling the pain that Aoi felt when she was hit by that slash.

"Well... I didn't expect that woman to be possessed by some strange creature. Until someone came up to me and helped me. He took my pain. He also killed that woman in front of me."

Chloe did not respond and was fixated straight on Aoi's story. He could clearly imagine the blood of that woman gushing everywhere. It is also inconceivable, the look on Aoi's face when watching the scene.

"You... Afraid not?"

Aoi shook her head slowly. "It doesn't mean psychopath... Honestly, instead of being afraid, I was blown away by her eyes."

"His eye? Hm... Who was Aura to save you?"

"Black Aura."

"Eh?"

Aoi smiled after getting Chloe's startled reaction. "He didn't attack me. But, Expel me. Maybe that means I should go home early. Well, she was a good Aura until one day you found the book and showed it to me."

A smile was finally etched on Chloe's face. It was good to hear Aoi early meet Black Aura and... Perhaps that was the reason why Aoi said she was lucky with Black Aura.

"He also saved me and a little boy named Emily. I'm glad we could be friends. Like my dream has been fulfilled. Then, how did you meet the Devil Mask?"

"I saved him from a group. I don't know, I don't really care about that group. Ever since reading your book and knowing that the Aura was called the Devil Mask, I immediately helped him.

"From him, I get a lot of information. I know who they are and what they need. Well, Devil Mask ever since I told him to eat takoyaki he's been talking a lot." Obviously Aoi who then laughed a little.

"Didn't he wear a mask?"

"He didn't show his face. How're you? Is Black Aura as noisy as the Devil Mask?"

"Ah, he was silent. He's cold with people he doesn't like. But, he's nice. I felt that the book I was reading was not in accordance with reality." Chloe replies while shaking the book.

"You just realized it?"

"Eh?" Chloe raised her head quickly.

Aoi gave a wide grin and answered the curious look. "I'm the same. I only realized it two days ago..."

"Is that so...? It seems, besides their weirdness... There are many secrets they keep. I became curious. What are these guys? I wonder about their mother. That right? Their mother is human?" chloe once she remembered the questions that were lodged in her head.

Their mood was silent for a while. Until Aoi in the end, opened her voice. But on a different topic.

"We continue tomorrow! By the way, finish the potatoes! I'll tell you the rest in the morning, okay?" simultaneously proposing.

Chloe nodded obediently. Ah, before the Japanese man left her, Chloe stopped her steps with a bedtime question.

"Whoi."

Aoi looked slowly.

"Stay here! Tell Jacqueline too! You guys don't leave without my permission!" Chloe screamed but was still within her limits. At least, he knew it was ethical at night not to shout like crazy.

Hearing the expression, Aoi lightly revealed her smile.

"alright... You too yes! Don't play pull out the window. Out there again storm."

"Yes! Good night."

"Good night."

After closing the door of Aoi's room heaved a sigh of relief. He is happy despite the guilt of not telling Chloe about Aura before. There was something that made him think of ending all of this.

While daydreaming, at the end of his eyes he could catch a glimpse of the legs of someone standing right beside him. Not the Devil Mask and not Yumizuka.

Aoi turned her face away and smiled.

"We'll see you again, Black Aura. How's condition? Is it recovered?" ask Aoi without removing her soft features.

"Chloe's inside?" Black Aura went straight to the point and ignored Aoi's question.

"That's what it says, Chloe..." He mumbled in wonder. "He's inside. Well, let him sleep first. What do you want?"

"Talk to her."

"Tomorrow yes! It's late at night. She's a girl too. By the way, don't be too stiff with us. Kan, there's the Devil Mask and Yumizuka here. There's no way you don't know them." Aoi said.

Black Aura lowered his head slowly. Her appearance was unlike before that of being dirty due to her black blood. A few minutes ago, he was restored by Yumizuka and once recovered, immediately left him.

"Not those who want to vault." Black Aura replied. He could not take his eyes off the door of the room where Chloe was sleeping soundly at the moment.

"okay... You can come in. If he's still up, talk but he's asleep..."

"I want to see it." Black Aura cut at once forwarding Aoi's words.

Aoi fell silent while putting on her hilarious look. "Well, whatever... Oh, yep! Don't go out yet, tonight! You can sleep in any room."

Feeling that there was nothing more to talk about, Black Aura stepped back. He grabbed the doorknob and then, entered the room.

"He has not changed..." Aoi Mumbled.

The flat-setting look he had seen before had not changed at all.

That splash of red yet somewhat flittering blood floated right before Aoi's eyes. When the splash was split, the cold and piercing Black Aura's face appeared. Both eyes were pointed sharply at him. This left him unable to sleep for three days.

"I don't understand. Why is she looking at me like that?"

Although that sharp gaze slowly faded a few minutes ago, still, his heart felt fear.

"Well..."

Aoi looked back. "You haven't slept?"

"I want to see Chloe."

"Non't now, Jacqueline."

"Why else, anyway?!" jacqueline's grumbling is upset.

"There's a Black Aura."

"Gapain scared? It's our own home too!"

"He won't be disturbed."

"Ah, that's it! Come, sleep!" Jacqueline passed away with her face flushed red. He also stomped his legs towards his room.

Meanwhile, Aoi could only sigh heavily. Just because of that gaze, he became uncomfortable moving.

"I told you myself."

~

The world inside the room was cold and calm. Only a heavy breath could he hear clearly.

A girl who was sleeping fast with her loyal right hand held her favorite book. Black Aura walked over to the sleeping Chloe. Then, gently caress her hair.

"When it's cold, he can still keep his warmth." Said Black Aura while receiving the warm temperature from his friend.

Before long, he glanced for a moment at the book Chloe was holding. Actually he's still not sure. Midnight never wrote anything. Except devising an assault tactic to defeat Legend Aura.

"It's clearly human writing." Further.

"I don't understand."

When Black Aura focused on her thoughts, Chloe woke up and smiled to find the figure of Black Aura standing next to her.

"You're with me?" tanyanya. He also accompanied her question with a faint smile.

"Hmm." Black Aura nodded slowly. "You're better?"

"Slowly... Definitely better. You alone?"

"I'm faster than you." Reply Black Aura. After which, he lowered his head to look at the girl closer. "I'm sorry...?"

Chloe was stunned to hear the apology. For the first time, the word "sorry" came out of his mouth. Well, anyway, he chose to appreciate it. It must be that Black Aura thought very hard just to utter that simple sentence.

"I'm glad you're slowly mingling with my world. Hmmmm... Next time, try to smile!" Chloe said happily.

"Smiling?"

"Yes! Like this..." Chloe showed her sweetest smile. "Lo's how it looks."

"Difficult."

"You're just not used to it. Anyways..." Chloe palpated Black Aura's cold cheeks and continued her speech, "You deserve to smile. The people around you will be so happy to see you smile."

"Including you?"

"Hmmm... I'm looking forward to that smile of yours."

Black Aura did not respond. He turned his gaze on the short needle leading to the number twelve.

"Sleep."

"You want to go? Where's where?"

"Stop that..."

"Can I stay here until tomorrow morning?" pinta Chloe who immediately grasped tightly the hand of Black Aura. His face turned anxious. Like a little girl who's afraid of the dark.

Hearing Chloe's request, made Black Aura think hard. Fortunately, it did not take half an hour to think and answer the request.

"Hm... Okay..." Black Aura looked down again.

"Sit here." Chloe patted the soft surface of the mattress. "I don't know if this is a good idea or not? But I don't want to be alone."

"Why didn't you ask Aoi?"

"He must be exhausted."

"Ooh..."

Chloe snorted amusedly suddenly. Actually, it's okay if he's alone in the room. But, seeing the presence of Black Aura, it felt even more pleasant.

"Do you like to sleep?"

"I never sleep."

Chloe chuckled, "Your life is so exhausting. Come here..." Chloe got up for a moment then made room for Black Aura.

"You crazy?" flat Black Aura chirps.

"I'm just giving you a little space to make your seat more comfortable." Omel Chloe who still maintained her tone of voice so as not to disturb Aoi and the others.

"Chloe..." Call out Black Aura which instantly made the girl speechless. Apparently, the aura was serious. It doesn't seem anymore. Everything he talked about was serious.

"Yes?"

"How are you feeling now?"

"Feelings?" His heart was beating fast and irregularly. This cold night Chloe was made to heat up.

Plus, Black Aura looked at him fixedly. The thin moonlight was enough to hit the Black Aura's face and make both of its eyeballs glow beautifully. His violet is like a crystal color.

"Yes... Are you happy now?"

"Happy...?"

"You've met Aoi and... How you feeling? Are you happy?"
