Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 42 (Ship part2)

Black Aura was wide-eyed instead of playing as soon as it found the figure of a girl who was very familiar in his eyes. Not Chloe. Not Jacqueline.

Not only Black Aura, the girl was also shocked. Between being happy and not believing that there is someone other than him who is aware of his existence. But instead of thanking him, he threw his question.

“You…? You were with Chloe, weren't you?”

ask the girl to make sure. Already both eyes narrowed, he narrowed again until barely visible eyeballs. 

In front of him, Black Aura froze. He doesn't believe he's going to meet the girl who a few days ago got Chloe to go up in blood. 

“Sabit? Why are you carrying a scythe? You're a death angel huh?” the girl's terrified look faded and turned completely suspicious. “You're not human?”

Disturbed, Black Aura finally grabbed the girl's hand and took her out of the room. 

At a time like this... Why did I even meet Minji?!

Yep! The person that this Black Aura was holding was Minji. Over time, strange events occur to some people, especially those around Chloe. But why Minji? 

Black Aura put on a lazy look. After he was himself. His non-human identity has been revealed clearly by Minji. Hopefully, the girl did not reveal anything about him on the internet. If he did so then, Black Aura was forced to play violent towards the girl. He could have used his ability to kill or erase some of Minji's memories. 

After this, I'll erase your memory. Steady mind.

“Hei. Your hand isn't papa?” Minji opened his voice in the middle of the road.

Black Aura did not respond and was busy looking for the exit. Well, indeed basically Black Aura did not care much about others. Since knowing that Minji's whereabouts will only make Chloe rise in blood, Black Aura chooses to follow Chloe's plot alone. Ignoring existence.

The exit.. Which one is the door?

The original Black Aura broke down the door and instead found a room room that had been unkempt for a long time. Obviously, isn't it? His knowledge of the human world is minimal. He finally took a short breath. 

“You don't think you're from this world.” Minji. “I'll help you find a way out.”

Hearing Minji who was willing to give him a hint of leniency, Black Aura only glanced at him briefly without an answer. He followed the girl one by one.

“Before that, my name is Lee Minji.” The girl extended her hand without a smile.

“My hand is injured.” Replied Black Aura who instantly switched to another place. So far, there's no sign of anything. 

“Basic. But, I'm surprised. How did you and I get here? Was it because something strange happened to me? Wow, that's damn me. Oh, yep! I had heard rumors from neighbors especially—if there are some people who are acting strangely. There was also yesterday to make a scene at school night-night.” Beber Minji relax. Does it mean fishing or not?

Black Aura was actually somewhat surprised inside. But still, in front of this girl he had to behave as he did before he met Chloe. If lured just a little can be fatal in the future. It could be, this Minji is as conspicuous as Legend Aura.

Chloe said Rara's sister has a boyfriend who is related to Legend Aura. If he is in direct contact with his boss, there are only two possibilities for me. If I was lucky, I met him, I could just kill him immediately and Legend Aura would disappear. If I'm unlucky, I could die here. The Devil Mask and the others would definitely be in great danger. Gee whiz… 

“By the way, you and Chloe have a relationship what?”

His feet are perfectly up. Black Aura turned her head slowly at Minji who put on a curious look. If Minji looks curious about Black Aura, then the Aura just looks unhappy with Minji's sentence.

Whatever the question, the answer is silence.

“Since not playing with Rara again, she suddenly found many friends. Even befriending a strange creature like you. Looking at it like, I'm so envious.” Minji said for no apparent reason.

There was still no response from Black Aura. The aura was focused on continuing her path and her desire to find Chloe. Honestly speaking, Black Aura felt every word Minji spoke to Minji who was definitely not close to him. 

 “You're Rara's sister, right?” black Aura asked ignoring Minji's previous words.

Minji narrowed both his eyes suspiciously. “You've been told by Chloe?”

“Ngak.”

“Hoh? Didn't she? Yep! I'm her brother. If she asks, tell her I'm her brother. If you ask me about my girlfriend, her name is Yo-han. A few minutes ago, I was walking with him and suddenly I was here. I don't understand the way of this world. Ever since you were here, everything has changed. I became even more frustrated to see Rara who likes to go out of the house. Don't-don't you make trouble with our world huh? What are you looking for in our world?” the tirade of Minji that managed to make Black Aura stupefied.

“I answered your question. So, don't make my question answered by the question! What do you have to do with Chloe? If you answer, I'll tell you some information. It's not free dong! There is no such thing as free in my world except for those who have angel hearts. I'm sure, you guys are like that too.” he added.

“Oh, so yes. All right.. If you don't want to know Midnight...”.

The moment he heard the name Midnight, his two violet manic immediately went wide. Without hesitation, he floated his scythe right beside Minji who was about to walk in the direction of him. 

“Midnight, did you say?”

“I thought you'd be hooked.” Minji grinned. 

“Cih!”

“You know? Chloe and I always check when they meet. Fighting over friends, anyway. It sounds to me like a kid. But, how else would it be if Rara doang was the only one who understood me. Same as you, right? You're just comfortable with Chloe. The rest you consider a stranger. I've been watching your movements for a long time. I see, you're a little protective of Chloe. So did I.” Minji kicked Black Aura to get away from him. 

“A stressful coincidence! I like this coincidence. To be honest, I hate Chloe. She made Rara worry and feel sorry for him. The only one who deserves to be pitied is me. Since I was a kid, I was different from people. Not many people understand what I like. Even Chloe who used to try to get close to me has added new problems for me. I was shunned by my old friend. It makes me think that making friends is not easy and difficult to keep. 

“The existence of new people is very disturbing. Therefore, I wanted to conduct an experiment based on what I saw. One day, I broke into Chloe and Rara's friendship circle. Stealing Rara's attention was really easy because she had a trait that always appeared positive and easy going. He wants to be friends with anyone. When I managed to get her heart, I felt how nice it was to get Rara. 

“Every day, she dyes me with her jokes and I'm quite impressed with my efforts that managed to make Chloe jealous. For some reason, seeing her jealous was fun.” The girl secretly hid her right hand behind her back. Making Black Aura put her suspicions on him. 

Shortly afterwards, Minji showed his hand clutching a rifle accompanied by a terrifying grin. Unfortunately, it was not enough to frighten Black Aura and kneel down to him. 

“After being close to Rara, I started bringing her with the game. Turns out, our gaming tastes are the same i.e., shoot shoot. Who doesn't like to shoot? The happiness we feel is absolutely fantastic when our bullets manage to shoot the enemy.”

This guy... Why?

Black Aura slowly took three steps back. Strengthening his scythe grip while simultaneously activating his eye-destroying ability.

After I checked, Minji did not have any aura in it. He's just a normal human being. The feeling he was saying was indeed his self that was saying it.

“AWM..”

“Hmmm?” 

“This snack I often use when playing games. Then, Yo-han presents it to me. Somehow he got it. Minji held up the tip of the rifle he called the AWM right on Black Aura's face. 

“Composed.”

Without a second thought, Minji's finger immediately pulled the trigger and. DUAR!

Fortunately, Black Aura immediately lowered his head. His shot just now managed to injure the strange monster that fell sprawled behind Black Aura. The blood flowing from the strange monster was oil black. 

“You don't feel anything strange behind you? Fufu... I like you, Aura.” Minji blew the smoke that had just come out of his AWM rifle. Then, he walked over to the unsuspecting Black Aura—agak shock with his shot just now. 

“Height 186. If you don't directly avoid, you can woe.” His word. After that, he momentarily looked at the monster that was no longer alive. 

"Come, get off this ship! I'm sure we're not just here. There's Chloe, Rara, and... That's all it looks like." Take Minji to relax.

Despite doubting Minji's invitation, Black Aura finally chose to follow him while remaining wary of the girl.

Suddenly, he remembered Jacqueline's earlier words. The girl reminded him not to trust all the people he met.

"There are times when humans like us can be as subtle as you. Hence, I warn you not to trust any human besides us. To me, your weakness is in your trust. Don't let your guard down just because they saved your life. Know it? I'm the only human being who can't trust other humans."

Advice from Jacqueline. Black Aura smiled accompanied with both eyes closed. He realized that, his existence and his job was to search for Midnight. After Midnight meets, she finds out her origins, how all these problems came about, and her relationship with Carmine.

Come to think of it, actually Black Aura had discovered one by one his desires from Chloe's world. Slowly understand their emotions. But, now was not the right time to think about his wishes.

"Come on." Said the returning Black Aura continuing his steps without a brief glance at Minji.
