Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 60's

Rara gawks in surprise to find the two suitcases Minji had placed in front of her bedroom door.

“Minji?” she called out her brother's name hesitantly.

“Hm?” Minji responded without revealing his face.

A little story about a few hours ago.

Since the incident happened early in the morning towards noon earlier, Hyori told him in a chat that the girl found Minji crying in the park chair alone. When asked why Minji was crying, Minji pushed Hyori to the ground. Then, the girl passed away carrying a cry for which there was no known reason.

At the cafe, Minji rushed to clean things like bags and some other cosmetic tools. After that, leave the cafe.

Rara who was at Minji's house was looking at her Junior High album book. Shortly afterwards, he was startled by the sound of a door slamming from the lower floor, more precisely the living room because Rara was on the second floor, inside the room.

Quickly, Rara approached the sound of a stomping of someone's legs on the stairs. Sure enough, the culprit was Minji who walked by stomping his two legs. Not a new thing for Rara who was accustomed to the loud thump. Rara assumed, whenever Minji got angry, the girl would walk while stomping her legs. But this time, it was different than usual.

The girl's face was facing the ground. However, his right hand seemed to be clenching hard. As Minji passed by without greeting, Rara briefly caught the sound of her breathing sobbing softly. Then, Rara immediately held the girl's arm and asked, "You why?”

However, Minji remained silent. She gave no response but to throw off Rara's grasp and let her sister look at her who immediately locked the door of her room.

Back to the present moment where Rara was still glued to the two suitcases Minji had prepared for her. Rara looked in wonder at the two things.

“This... Koperku. What did you do to my suitcase?” tanya Rara asked for an accurate explanation on Minji.

Minji who had been bending over to hide his face finally showed his pale face and his two eyes that were slightly swollen from crying.

Rara was stunned to find her brother's appearance was in a mess. It's not usually Minji like this. What the hell just happened to him?

“Heh? What's wrong with your face?!” exciting Rara.

Minji still did not respond. He just smiled his smile and stood up. Minji stepped a little closer to Rara who looked worried about her.

“Sorry, yes! Actually, I didn't mean to throw you out. But, I'm in need right now and you can't interfere for now.” Said gently. “Go to Chloe's house and stay the night. I know, he also wants to be with you too.”

“Wait first! What's the matter, actually? Why did you suddenly tell me to leave, while outside was a blizzard? On a night like this too, Chloe must have fallen asleep.” protest Rara.

“The situation is urgent. Especially in my family. Therefore, I want you to go, Ra. Don't worry, I booked a taxi this afternoon.”

“Ergent? Why didn't you tell me? Please explain, how know I can help you.”

“Cannot. It's a family matter, you can't interfere.”

“Oalah... You mean, your brother will stay here for a few days?”

Minji nodded softly, “My brother and his girlfriend. Not only them, my father will stay here so. I don't want you to hear the conversation between my father and my brother. Because I know, you're the kind of person who likes to eavesdrop.”

“Ah, not really. Just so happen to be.” Rara blushed in embarrassment while stroking her right cheek.

Minji heaved a sigh of relief then, hugging the girl. “Jam eight in the morning, come to my house. Because, there's something I want to tell you.” Minji's whisper was filled with tears.

“Eh? Tomorrow then? Why not just now?”

“That's because..Taxi is waiting for you and I don't have much time to talk to you.” Minji let go of her embrace then looked at Rara.

For some reason, Rara felt something strange about Minji. However, he could not reveal the strangeness. His brother is indeed a closed person and does not cross his heart to others. As a sister and best friend, Rara can only agree unless Minji allows her to

listen to all his complaints.

“Minji... Don't tell... It's a farewell?” ask Rara doubtfully.

“Ngak. We split up for a little while. I have to take care of my brother's wedding which will be celebrated in two months. Well, that's because I'm very good at the design part so. My dad used me for a while.” Reveal Minji in a relaxed tone.

“So yes! Well, don't forget yes, invite me!”

“Definitely! Oh, yes!”

Suddenly, Minji runs into the kitchen and picks up a glass of warm milk for Rara. “Before you go, drink this! To warm your body from raging snow at night!” he said with a big smile.

Rara chuckled with her brother's joke until she didn't realize the strangeness that had been ringing in her head.

Rara received a glass of milk and looked at it until it ran out. “Hmm... Delicious!”

“…”

After drinking a glass of milk, Rara felt that something was strange about her vision. His gaze slowly blurred for no reason. His legs were slumping as if he was about to fall. Minji's face that was not far from him was blurred until in the end, everything he saw was completely blackened along with his fading consciousness.

“So so... You seemed to be given sleeping pills by your own brother and you woke up suddenly inside the taxi that your sister ordered it.” Black Aura concluded after hearing the story from Rara.

“It seems... But, why would Minji do such a thing? I'm sure he must have lied about his brother getting married." Tukas Rara's.

“Entahlah... There must have been something that happened to him earlier.” Chloe added as she thought.

“Not that you met this afternoon, huh? Hyori told me that you guys had cynical eyes.”

“Indeed true, but only for a moment. After that, we were approached by his girlfriend, Yohan." For some reason, this time Chloe is reluctant to discuss Yohan.

“Wait. Yohan coming? Uh! Do you remember if I told you that Minji's girlfriend is related to Legend Aura?” Rara suddenly patted the chair cushion she was hugging after remembering something that turned out to be very important but was forgotten by her.

Chloe and Black Aura are together. “Really! We remember!” shout them in unison.

“Bby, can! At that time, I accidentally eavesdropped on Yohan's conversation with someone over the phone. At that time, Minji was busy preparing food in the kitchen. So, Yohan had a chance to go out for a while and call. I accidentally heard the man mention some strange names like ‘Dark Shadow’, ‘Dark Flower’, and ‘Aurora’.

“I was suspicious, so I decided to eavesdrop on the whole conversation. If not wrong, he once talked about the woman he was looking for. Her name.. Ah! Midnight.”

“MIDNIGHT?!” peekik Chloe couldn't believe it.

“Already expected!” followed by the Black Aura that seemed to not accept.

“What is Midnight? He's human huh?” ask Rara wonder.

“Iya. She is the mother of Megavile. Megavile and Legend Aura are different. For its origin, I still don't know. But clearly, the two groups of Auras were different and not interconnected. Well, the Midnight you mentioned earlier is closely related to the entire series of problems that occur at this time. Right now, we're looking for it.” Chloe obviously.

“So, huh? Well, back to the previous topic, I heard that Yohan was planning to meet another girl named Emma. I don't know who Emma is. Yohan also tells Emma to give orders to Aurora, Dark Flower, Dark Sport to target Black Aura, Devil Mask, and Yumi.

"He also mentioned your name, Chloe! That's why I was so worried about you. I really did not expect that this Yohan has a dark secret.” Beber Rara was late

in his own story.

“Then, why didn't you tell your sister that her boyfriend was suspicious?” ask Black Aura then.

“I told him. But, it seems Minji didn't listen to me. That's why, I'm telling you. And also, after returning from the cafe earlier.Not usually Minji go home alone. Usually, he was accompanied by Yohan. But that afternoon, no.

"I asked him, 'where is Yohan?' and he didn't answer. Minji was like crying. Swear, Chloe! I'm really confused by all this! What's the matter, actually?! I'm afraid that something strange will happen to Minji.

“Although I was annoyed at him, but he was still my brother. He always took care of me, comforted me, and became my back when I was sad. She's a good sister.” Rara said that this time it sounded as if she really recognized Minji as her good brother.

Hearing Rara's expression earlier, made Chloe fall silent. No doubt, that Rara has indeed fully regarded Minji as her brother and Chloe has no right to be angry at Minji anymore.

"So... What are your plans tomorrow?" Black Aura asked as well as diverted them from the awkward atmosphere that was about to overwhelm them.

Rara raised her head while thinking. "Yes too! Hmmm, actually... I'm staying at your house, Chloe. That's if you don't mind."

Chloe was dumbfounded then laughed out loud. "of course! I don't mind at all! Even happy!"

"Really?! Thank you! For my plans tomorrow, I'll come with you."

“Oh, that means, you don't mind dong helping us find Aoi.” Jacqueline suddenly appears with Yumi. They both carried two plates of pancakes that were still warm.

“Eh? Not at all. Instead, I'm glad to be able to gain a lot of experience." Reply Rara tried to balance between a smile and her surprised look.

Jacqueline no longer looks suspicious of Rara. He praised the girl with a clap of his hand. “I like your reason. Also keep in mind, there is no word to complain when adventuring. You know Aura too, right?”

“Know. Black Aura and that glasses girl, Aura, right?"

"One hundred." Praise Chloe.

"In addition, tomorrow morning, I would like to ask all of you to accompany me to Minji's house. I'm sure tonight he's gonna lock himself in the house." Obviously Rara. "ah! I'd like to call Yohan tomorrow, too. But, I don't think he's important."

“Ngak. Yohan is important too. You said it yourself, right?” Black Aura chimed in.

Knowing Black Aura who responded to her remark, Rara nodded shyly.

“Oh, is that it? We all have our own goals!" chirps Yumi chuckled softly.

"Finding Aoi, Midnight, Minji, Yuuki's last. That person should be killed as soon as possible.” The long-time Sela Devil Mask sat beside Rara and made the girl surprised.

"Well? Why did that guy named Yuuki have to be killed?”

“Later to know." Black Aura replied accompanied by a faint smile of hers.

“OK! So, everybody agrees, do you want to work together?" chloe chirps. “Oh, yes! You still have the number, right? You better call him in the morning. If the nights were like this, he would have been asleep.”

“Iya. Minji has had a rough day. But I'm surprised, no one among you has noticed Minji and. Wait! These auras are on your side, right?” ask Rara just to make sure.

The Devil Mask nodded slowly then, answering.

"Just calm down, we are on your side and we have no intention of killing any human being in this world except..”.

“Japanese guy named Yuuki the.” The Black Aura.

Chloe sighed then, smiling. It was great to see Rara's presence able to attract the three Auras to gather in the living room. And again, the problem that the girl was experiencing was so sudden and seemed to be related to Aoi's disappearance as well.

Given their problems are also getting hotter. Chloe reckon, with Rara's presence and the intertwining of good cooperation, their adventure will be very exciting. Chloe wondered, when will all these problems end and how will they end?

Realizing the wall clock showed twelve o'clock late at night, they all decided to take a break. But before that, Devil Mask and Black Aura help Rara lift the suitcase by being guided by Chloe to the room that Rara will occupy later. Meanwhile, Jacqueline and Yumi take the time to accompany Rara who has been invited to eat their homemade pancakes. Their atmosphere was completely harmonious.

From a distance, Chloe and Black Aura smilingly observed the moment that indirectly warmed their chests and made them become closer than before.

“Sleep... Tomorrow, there will be many things that will be our next challenge.” Black Aura spoke for a few minutes before the blond girl closed her eyes.

Black Aura sat beside Chloe who would soon be overwhelmed by her drowsiness. Inside the cold and dark room as the lights were turned off by the owner, Black Aura felt comfortable and at ease accompanying Chloe. His whole life, looking at the girl who could be said - he likes the same as drinking a cup of hot coffee while waiting for the rain to subside.

Black Aura likes to look at Chloe's sky blue irises. A calming color.

“Good night, Black Aura.” Chloe Whisper.

“Good night, Chloe." Reply Black Aura.
