Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 35's

This morning was very different from the previous few days. If he usually starts the morning with silence in the kitchen, now, the morning should feel noisy by the ceaseless chatter of Aoi and the Devil Mask.

If not broken by Jacqueline then, the war of the mouth will not end. Even Yumizuka was only concerned with her stomach rather than balancing the atmosphere this morning.

To Chloe, the girl could only be astonished while holding a pair of forks. I really wanted to help Jacqueline. Fortunately, the war is over. Surely with a knock from the back of the vegetable spoon that floated right at the end of Aoi's and Devil Mask's head.

"So... Is your morning always like this?" ask Chloe at the end.

Jacqueline blew on the back of her spoon and replied, "Yep! It's been five days and it's still like this. By the way, where's your Aura?"

"My aura?" Chloe turned her head confused.

"Black Aura." Jacqueline repeated her interspersed sentence by pulling the Devil Mask's hair. The man still hadn't finished slapping Aoi's cheek.

"I don't know... Last night he was with me. The next morning, he disappeared." Obviously Chloe's plain. "Devil Mask and Yumizuka know?"

"We don't know anything. He's always been like that. If he feels that his first task is done, he will focus on the other task and forget the previous one." Reveal the Devil Mask who looks very understanding of Black Aura.

"Eh?" Chloe fell silent.

"That's it... He'll definitely be back. Once he had found the Devil Mask and Yumizuka, Black Aura must have gone home. And again... It's the day..." Jacqueline embraces Chloe while holding back her talk. Wait until his best friend knows what he means.

"What day?"

"Day level up Aoi's age, dong!" yumizuka exclaimed excitedly.

Aoi sighed heavily. "Bad you, Chloe. Just on my birthday, you forgot." He said with a sullen face.

"eehh?? Not forgetting! Because I rarely see a calendar, I don't know what day you have a birthday!" Chloe tried to defend herself even though she had forgotten. That is, he's lying.

"The reason continues..."

"Really!"

"Stop! Than to be born mending refreshing." Lerai Jacqueline's. "Where's that? Well, we haven't been traveling together in a long time. Plus, we rarely share stories. I'm curious about your story, Chloe."

"Yes! I have so many things I want to tell you!"

"What if in...."

"Wait!" Cut Chloe out of the blue. The Devil Mask who was about to speak was instantly speechless without leaving any sound.

"Where is this?"

"My house." Reply Jacqueline friendly.

"Well! Your house is like the home of celebrities!"

"of course! I tried and bought it with my own savings. No, no help from parents. I'm an adult and I have to be independent!" jacqueline is proud.

Chloe who heard Jacqueline's statement chuckled in admiration. His eyes sparkled like anime characters.

"Don't hesitate! Since this is my home, you can freely use any space! As long as the responsibility is to use the room."

"Ready!" chloe is excited.

Suddenly, Aoi snorted. " Our friends haven't changed! If you're happy, he looks like a kid."

"agree! When I first met her, I thought she was a boring girl. It turns out..."

"Haha! He's more innocent than you, Jacqueline!"

"You guys!" Chloe grumbled when the topic of their conversation hooked her up.

Meanwhile, the Devil Mask and Yumizuka were just busy with their morning meal. Being ignored, they end up doing the same thing. Ignoring the three humans who are frilly

"So that's it...? If they are together, they will forget their problems. I'm so dizzy looking at them." Comment Yumizuka while chewing Jacqueline salad without the permission of the owner.

"Well... Anyhow... We should appreciate the difference. At least, we're getting new information about this world." Reply Devil Mask who does not want to take a headache. He just sipped a glass of milk. I don't want his face to be seen by them.

"And friends?"

The masked man nodded again.

"At my house?" jacqueline chirps after getting a proposal from Chloe approved by Aoi.

"Simple only... Enough food and some small decorations." Aoi then smiled.

Chloe nodded. An idea popped up again in his head and of course he immediately expressed the idea. "What about a joint venture?"

"The mountain?" Yumizuka interrupted suddenly.

"Yes! The joint!"

"You mean... We're a statue together?" Devil Mask added.

"Not b*go! Take money together! If you have one, it's up to you whether you want a joint venture." explains Jacqueline.

"Oh... Continue."

"Sometimes, I find it funny to see creatures like them."

"But, on the other hand... I have a lot of questions about them too. What are they and what are they made of? And this book..." Chloe took out the history book and placed it on the dining table.

"You must have guessed it was Midnight's handwriting, right? Actually not." Jacqueline said she knew the facts of the book.

Chloe was shocked, "You know who the author is?"

"I don't know who the author is. But, after Blacl Aura left, I took the time to look at you. I looked at the book and I read it. It deviated from what the Devil Mask had told me all along. I also found 'this'." Not only the author, Jacqueline also showed a piece of paper and thrust it directly to Chloe.

Chloe took it. Then, read the series of writings.

As soon as this is all over, meet us at Carmater. But careful... Your enemies are not only three and ten.

"Ah... It's just a novel!" aoi.

"Haha..." Devil Mask laughed flatly and went back to sipping his glass of milk.

"We'll discuss this letter later. Let's make today fun! Thereafter... We're talking about Aura." Chloe put down the letter and moved on to something else. His best friend's birthday is more important to him. Plus, he wants to enjoy some time together with Aoi and Jacqueline. In fact, without knowing... He forgot two of his friends who were not with him.

The Devil Mask, knowing the fact that Black Aura left without Chloe's permission, chose to be silent. Well, that Aura is carrying out her mission. There were still twenty more humans possessed by Aura. Do not let, the problem involves humans from other countries.

It's exhausting!

"How did you know I was being treated here?"

Morgan revealed his question after finding Black Aura who was standing silently beside his hospital bed. Yes, since yesterday's fight, he had severe head injuries. Fortunately, his life could still be saved. And again, he had no idea who had taken him to the hospital.

"I... Use this." Black Aura pointed at his head.

Morgan snorted softly at the sight of Black Aura. "You're here... To see me?"

Black Aura as usual did not respond.

"Chloe how's she doing? Is he dead?"

"Faster than you."

"Well, great! It looks like his wound is bad."

"Morgan."

"Eh, huh?"

Before continuing his talk, Black Aura lowered his head. He looked at Morgan's face fixedly regardless of the red hue that was coloring the man's face.

"Aura Black... Don't get too close." Whisper Morgan was feeling uncomfortable.

"Oh." Black Aura took two steps back.

"Not that far either. If there's anything important you want to talk about, just say it! Don't hang in front of me." Morgan said in wonder. Well, he's just confused. Unusually, Black Aura was willing to talk to him. He thought, Black Aura dislikes him and is reluctant to communicate with him.

"You... That was a nod."

"Not sung! I'm not comfortable!"

"Oh. You don't feel sick?"

"Not anymore! It seems like today, I'm going home. What's the matter?"

"I suggest, it's best that my job doesn't interfere with you." Black Aura. This time, the tone and aura of his speech did not seem cold. Like talking to Chloe.

Morgan understood but, quite surprised by the change in Black Aura's attitude towards him.

"Don't you hate me anymore?" Morgan asked just to make sure.

"Not hate. I don't even know what it's like to be a hater." Reply to Black Aura which was then followed by a sigh. The world confuses him.

"Unique yes! At first glance our appearance is the same but our world is different. Uh, did you come here to be caught with a nurse?"

"No. But, there was one of the people who was treated here had a strange Aura. Well, I hope he doesn't act."

"Ah, yes... This is, the hospital. It would be dangerous if the Aura did anything." Said Morgan who instantly got a small nod from Black Aura.

To put it bluntly, Black Aura felt comfortable sharing with Morgan. At first he was a bit hesitant to talk to Morgan. But, the man accepted all of his words with pleasure. So, just continue there's no harm, right?

"After, see me... You're going back to fighting?"

"Either... Depends if my opponent wants to fight or not. But, so far they've all been trying to kill me."

Morgan grunts amusedly. "Like superhiro! Habits create many enemies. Careful yeah! Don't forget to keep coming home as long as you still have people thinking about you." Morgan then ended their conversation with a smile.

Black Aura was silent. He looked at Morgan's sweet smile. He wondered in his mind. Why is it that Morgan can easily show his smile? Ah, one more!

The one who thinks of me? Chloe's?

Although not quite understanding, Black Aura still turned around and was about to leave Morgan alone. Apparently, it was time he ended the short, warm conversation with Morgan. Eps! Before leaving to the fullest, Black Aura took her time to say goodbye.

"Cheal fast and stay away from us! Your life is much more precious..." Her speech.

Morgan nodded steadily. However, he was a bit overwhelmed. Whether true or not, his two eyes caught a glimpse of the thin smile engraved on Aura's face in front of him. Until in the end, he disappeared and left nothing behind.

Morgan breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to being satisfied and happy with that thin smile, enjoying the morning light that pierced through the curtains of his room also made him calm. In his heart, he hoped...

Hopefully Chloe can see that smile before her hands wave the weight of her departure.

That's what he put in his heart.

Outside the hospital, precisely in the rooftop, Black Aura sat while looking carefully at his shadow through the puddle. Out of nowhere the puddle came from, which was obvious, he was very pleased with the smile he had carved before.

"Chloe must want to see this smile..." Black Aura muttered. His mind was turned to Chloe who was looking forward to his smile. Well, since thinking about Chloe, Black Aura has been getting less and more unfocused on what she should be doing right now.

"May smile and laugh..." His word. "If I could be like that, would Chloe be happier?"
