As planned by Black Aura, tonight, as the snow mostly falls and covers the ground, the teenagers are walking slowly around a housing estate they don't know their name. What is clear, the houses they saw must still be occupied.
The temperature outside was also not as warm as they had imagined. Real cold. Although the coat worn is thick enough to protect the surface of the skin from these low temperatures.
"Wait first... I seem to know this path." Said Chloe realizing the awkwardness that had clouded her mind. Previously, he had already asked the question of "where will they go, later?". But, Black Aura simply ignored him.
"Well, don't tell me we're going to get lost!" Jacqueline started to panic.
"Huhoo... Where are we really going, anyway? My stomach is hungry. Body's cold. Hey, Aura! Tell us where are we going?!" yumizuka Namel.
Black Aura just kept quiet and kept walking.
Because there was no answer from the Aura, inevitably they had to follow in his footsteps while frowning their respective eyebrows.
"Ouch... What road is this? What housing did we pass through? Chloe's... Ask him!" jacqueline whispered to Chloe.
Chloe clucked up, "Black Aura... Tell us quickly!"
"Will know too." Reply to Black Aura afterwards.
Then, Chloe immediately put on a pouting face.
"Don't pout that way. At least, you're happy because he's responding to your words." Yumizuka.
"Haha... Yes, yes too!" Chloe replied while chuckling.
Soon enough, something quickly caught Chloe's attention. Something that's not far from Chloe. He grew up without a clear identity and contained the snow that fell from the sky.
Yep! He was not an inanimate object but rather, a tree that grew in front of people's houses. Of all the houses he saw, there was only one house whose porch lights were on alone while the lights in his room were not on. Perhaps, the homeowner went and just turned on the porch light.
"It's only in that place that we can devise a plan without having to be caught by the enemy." The words of Black Aura suddenly shocked the four friends.
Apparently, Black Aura wanted to provoke the memory of someone who at the same time, the person was thinking, looking for answers behind the awkwardness that enveloped his mind.
A few minutes later, Chloe finally got an answer through the instructions she got. Namely, fenced homes and porch lights that light up.
However, that answer actually made him wonder.
“Lah? Why are we here?”
Black Aura smiled briefly in response to the question that Chloe had thrown at her.
Not only did Chloe look confused, Jacqueline and the two Aura who were standing behind her also looked astonished to find the place they had come to.
Black Aura smiled at the reaction of her friends.
"That's because, only in this place can we rest in peace and comfort. We can also focus on preparing our plans without having to be attacked suddenly by the enemy.” Answer Black Aura.
"Huh?" They all gaped in unison in response to Black Aura's reply.
After traveling silently, they finally found a place that Black Aura thought was a safe place. The place is far from the crowd. The place that a few days ago was left for a while by its owner to search for the missing person for the second time. That place is…
“To your house Chloe, dong?” Jacqueline turned her face to Chloe who had been standing there astonished to mourn the condition of her house that almost looks like a haunted house. Since the owner left, the house became gloomy and unkempt.
“So you mean, the place where we met Aoi and Midnight at my house?”
Black Aura nodded.
“Eh? Why is it Chloe's house? Why not at Jacqueline's house away from the crowd?” yumizuka protest live.
“Jacqueline is not alone. There is still a possibility that his mother and sister will come to visit.” The Devil Mask.
"But, isn't it weird? Why do we have to go to Chloe's house for a while, Aoi and mom aren't necessarily here?" Yumizuka looked at Black Aura suspiciously. "There must be some other intent behind your plan."
Black Aura did not respond except to look coldly at Yumizuka.
“But, isn't it a good idea to hide in Chloe's house? I'm sure, none of the Legend Aura are passing through this estate. ” Devil Mask tries to straighten Yumizuka's mind that turns somewhere. However, the girl was increasingly curious and suspicious.
Hurry up, Yumizuka denied. "No way! Legend Aura is crazier than us. They could have disguised themselves as someone else like pretending to be a pizza deliveryman."
Black Aura clucked violently together with the Devil Mask who patted his forehead. There would be no end to arguing with Yumizuka. The girl would continue fishing until she
get a satisfactory answer.
Meanwhile, the two human girls who stood close to them were only gawking in astonishment. Watching Yumizuka and the Devil Mask arguing while Black Aura who was proposing the idea just looked on while listening to the song.
“Ah... You folks. Stop this discussion. If it continues outside the house, we who humans can get sick.” Jacqueline said as she separated the Devil Mask and the sharp-edged Yumizuka.
"So, what's your excuse, Black Aura?" Chloe asked in the end.
“AHA! I know the reason!" Yumizuka suddenly exclaimed after clapping her hands once.
"What?" Black Aura grew increasingly cold looking at Yumizuka.
Yumizuka smirked as if the answer that had just crossed her mind could put Black Aura to shame.
"The reason why he brought us here is to make Chloe happy, right?” Yumizuka opened her eyes and showed her green-leafed eyes.
Black Aura let out a short sigh then asked Jacqueline who was automatically shocked.
"But what did he eat?"
"Hm... Yesterday he ate potatoes, anyway. Woilah, when will we stay outside? Chloe's! Quickly open the door!" have Jacqueline after that nag because of the cold problem.
"It's that way. I open the door first, yeah!" chloe's permission then passed leaving her friends to open the door of her locked house.
After Chloe left them for a moment, Black Aura was stunned to find the signal that had just crossed her mind. Not only him, the Devil Mask and Yumizuka also felt the signal.
"What is this signal?" chirp Yumizuka by preparing a look of vigilance.
"What signal? My phone has a signal, right." Jacqueline said after checking her cell phone signal.
"The signal is blue." The Devil Mask attempts to describe the characteristics of the signal.
"Warm but cold. Don't-don't..." Black Aura was silent for a moment before finally running to find the source of the signal to appear.
"Hey, Black Aura! Where you going?!" chloe shouted who was aware of Black Aura's increasingly distant steps.
"You go in, first!" exclaiming the Devil Mask suddenly then ran after Black Aura.
Jacqueline. Originally, he had intended to pull the Aura's arm. But what power, his little hand was too slow to grab the Aura.
"Huf... So, how are we?" Jacqueline sighed glancing at Yumizuka who was already not there beside her.
"Who? Yumi's? Gee whiz... If you open the door, say dong! Just be quiet!" nagging Jacqueline after glancing left and right then found the door of Chloe's house that had opened wide.
The door is open, the owner has no idea where it went. Well, since there was no one beside her, Jacqueline decided to step in and warm herself up. This one day was really exhausting just to find one missing person.
Jacqueline inwardly worried Aoi. She was worried that something was wrong about approaching the man. And again, of all the men he had met, only Aoi was able to make it melt. Although she and Aoi have to dig as deep as possible into the fact that they have been in a relationship as a lover of Chloe.
Honestly speaking, Jacqueline didn't know if Chloe was harboring the same feelings towards Aoi or not? To date, Jacqueline is still making plans while looking for the right time to tell Chloe her secret.
"Jacqueline?"
Chloe's innocent call made Jacqueline aware of her blank colorless daydream. Quickly, Jacqueline glanced at Chloe who was standing not far from her.
Yes, inside this sizable living room, there were only the two of them inhabiting it. Each stared at each other without saying a word. In the end, Chloe decides to make a sound and takes Jacqueline to the dining room for dinner.
"Don't worry, Aoi we'll definitely be fine." Chloe said she didn't know what she meant. But, as Jacqueline understood, the girl intended to comfort her who was feeling anxious.
"Yes... I'm just... Uh, Chloe! What are you cooking? I don't know why, I'm gonna go snack on ice cream again." Reply Jacqueline who quietly changed the topic of their conversation.
Apparently, Chloe was unaware of the awkwardness. As usual, she responded to Jacqueline's words while she could answer and understand the meaning of the girl's words.
"Want to eat some ice cream? Is that true? You said it was cold."
"Not so... Suddenly, I want chocolate ice cream. Well, to ease this anxious feeling, I had to eat some ice cream to get back to how it was."
"Is that so? Hm..." Chloe no longer looks suspicious.
Since there was nothing else to talk about, Chloe and Jacqueline continued their steps towards the kitchen.
~
The kitchen he had lived in for a long time again emitted a warm vibe as Jacqueline lit the stove fire and put Teflon on it. The purple haired girl casually poured some pan cake dough.
Chloe who sat watching her best friend move from the dining table, was astonished. It was already late and the food menu they would enjoy later was the breakfast menu in the morning. Previously, Jacqueline asked him to make ice cream moci. However, he changed his mind and changed his taste to pan cake.
Other than Jacqueline, there was Yumizuka with them. The aura did nothing. Sari was just wandering because it was dominated by his curiosity. Well, maybe because it's the first time Yumi's been to Chloe's house.
“Wah... This book is thick once.” Yumizuka said that immediately attracted the attention of the two teenagers who were busy with their world in the kitchen.
Jacqueline shook her head and turned off the stove fire. He walked with a curious look towards Yumi. Chloe who was initially lazy finally decided to throw away the ugly nature.
“This is my sister's novel. You went into his room, huh?” chloe asked suspiciously.
Yumi gave a wide grin. He is clearly the type of person who is hard to lie to. “Iya. Because, the room smells so good. When I came in, apparently, the books were fragrances.” Answer Yumi.
“Your sister? Lucas?” Jacqueline muttered as she looked at Chloe.
“Iya. I forgot, you've met him or not.”
“Bu-not so. Somehow, when I heard your brother's name. I felt something was bothering me.” Reveal Jacqueline while rubbing her hands. I don't know what she meant but, Chloe immediately understood the thing that was troubling Jacqueline.
His face turned flat just like Black Aura. "Fashion."
"Daddy?"
Chloe nodded after mentioning the word 'honey' which instantly left Jacqeline and Yumi confused.
"Eh, it's okay, really. Jacqueline, quickly finish cooking the pan cake. I'm hungry." As if she had just said something wrong, Chloe thoughtlessly changed the topic of their conversation. However, Jacqueline still does not dwell and wants an explanation from Chloe.
"Don't change the subject, Chloe. Explain to me what it means!"
"Ah, no... I'm suddenly daydreaming."
At the same time, Black Aura and the Devil Mask appeared. The two of them were fixated on the awkward atmosphere that the three girls who had been in the kitchen had been spreading.
"What's this?" ask Black Aura.
Chloe shook her head as if nothing had happened. "It's nothing, really."
Jacqueline sighed. Eventually, she returned to her cooking activities thinking, Chloe has not been able to tell her the problem.
"Come, sit! The pan cake is soon ready." exclaimed Jacqueline told them to sit down as if she were the mother of her four friends.
Each of them pulled up their dining chairs and sat down. The awkward atmosphere was still enveloping them until the pan cake was served on the table.
Chloe frowned in surprise. What the fuck is this mood?
"You guys. Why just shut up?" tanyakanya.
"It's adapting to a new environment." Answer Devil Mask while pouring maple syrup on the pan cake.
"Hm... Jacqueline, why is your face like that?"
Yumi's question successfully shifted the eyes of the three teenagers who were about to eat pan cake to become an anxious Jacqueline.
"You're worried about Aoi?" Chloe put down her fork and enveloped the back of the girl's hand with her hand. "I am too." Added.
The purple haired girl only smiled slightly without giving any response. He just felt a little calm with the warmth Chloe gave him. However, behind his smile was something that disturbed his mind.
"No. I'm..."
"Already, Jacqueline. I know you're worried about Aoi. His name is also courting yes, it's only natural that you worry about him excessively." Yumizuka interrupted quickly without thinking about Jacqueline's words.
Jacqueline was shocked. " Yumizuka!"
The aura was just chuckling while Chloe, the girl was frozen on the spot while trying to digest Yumizuka's earlier remark.
"Eh? You two are dating? You and Aoi?" ask Chloe plain.
