Fantasy Pristine: Our Bond

Chapter 61's

Next morning…

Chloe was engrossed in scrolling some articles that were clearly displayed on the screen of her phone. No interesting article today. That's why, the girl sighed tiredly.

Speaking of the article, Chloe recalled an old article discussing the car accident case that hit her brother two years ago. If it is not wrong then, there are other people besides his brother who died in the accident. She is a 23-year-old woman.

Police suspect the accident occurred due to the negligence of the 23-year-old driver. It is not known what the woman was related to Lucas. Surprisingly, both were involved in the accident.

Chloe who knew nothing could only look at the crowd from a distance. Ambulance and police sirens were everywhere. Several medical members skied, swiftly visiting the bodies of the two dead teenagers.

Chloe could not see clearly how Lucas was injured because, almost his entire body was covered with white cloth. His hands drooped, as did his body.

The girl was crushed in the crowd. He had not expected that he would lose such a precious figure in his life so quickly. A figure that has always been a medicine when he was sad and lonely. The figure of a brother who has always been his protector from all the evils of the outside world, both the environment and humans who occupy the environment itself.

A month after his brother's death, he found a letter in his mailbox. Surprisingly, the letter was not known who the sender was.

Chloe was stunned when she opened and read the letter. The letter contains a statement of someone who believes that the death of Lucas, his brother was not due to an accident but murder. I don't know what reason the sender wrote that?

To this day, Chloe still remembers that line of writing.

Your brother was long dead before the accident happened.But don't worry, sooner or later the killer will definitely be found.

That was what the mysterious sender had written to him. That was why, this innocent-looking and crybaby girl had a very strong and thick grudge against the killer. As of now, the whereabouts of the killer is still unknown. Chloe also has not received a new letter from the sender regarding the extent of his search for the killer.

BRACKET!

Chloe gasped in shock at the sound of a table being patted loudly by someone.

"God... Jacquiline! Just make a surprise.” exclaimed Chloe half-stomped Jacqueline.

“Cih! Hence, don't daydream, dong! Entar possessed Devil Mask new know taste!” jacqueline replied after that laughing out loud.

Chloe harrumphed amusedly, "Here!"

“Hey, you! Breakfast before adventuring!” exclaim Rara while preparing some breakfast menu on the table.

“Sandwich..” muttered Chloe who looked confused.

“Hmm? Wh why? Don't like sandwiches, do you?” ask Rara.

Chloe shook her head quickly. “Bu-not..”

“Oh, sorry! Unknowingly, I made the breakfast I usually made with Minji without telling you.”

“Nnothing..Once in a while we eat a different breakfast. Yeah, right, Chloe?” jacqueline asked as if she wanted to attract Chloe to appreciate the breakfast Rara had made.

Actually, Jacqueline knows that Chloe is still not comfortable with the habits of Minji that have been attached to Rara. Even so, Rara had already prepared breakfast and in any case had to be spent.

Chloe sighed heavily then, nodding. “I-iya. Sandwiches are American food. So, no problem, kok.” Reply Chloe.

Fortunately, Rara no longer looked glum. The girl lightly danced in the kitchen. His right hand held the milk box he had taken from the refrigerator. Then, pour a few liters of chocolate milk into a glass glass. Chloe and Jacqueline only noticed Rara's sweet movements. Chloe admitted, Rara's nature is very similar to that of a housewife. Smile too. If he smiled, anyone who saw him would immediately fall in love.

His best friend is friendly, humorous, and caring. Rara is also an expert in martial arts. One of them is taekwondo. For Chloe, Rara is the most perfect girl she has ever seen. According to him, it would be the biggest mistake if the girl said she envied herself who was not that perfect.

“Which other?” chirps Jacqueline who realizes Chloe's kitchen is so quiet.

“In a moment, I'll call them.” Chloe got out of the chair and went down the stairs.

First, he walked over to the Black Aura room. The Aura Room was located closest to the kitchen. Hence, Chloe did not have to bother shouting like Jacqueline did when she woke up the Devil Mask and Yumi. It's kind of funny to see fantasy creatures like them can fall asleep like humans in general.

“Black Aura... Wake up! Come, breakfast!” chloe exclaimed with a light knock on the door. Speaking of knocking on the door, Chloe remembered the romantic movie scene she had seen with Jacqueline. The scene shows a woman who holds the status of a mother, knocking on the door of her son's bedroom who is still asleep. Given that it was Monday, the woman did not want her son to go through three minutes of his most important time before school. Namely, breakfast.

The beat that the mother gave off was as delicate as her affection that would never fade against the flow of time.

Chloe fell silent. His right hand fell. Imagine how he will be in the future? Chloe felt that her future was still as pseudo as a dream. The door in front of him made him think, what would happen in front of him if Black Aura opened the door. Honestly, there's something Chloe's afraid of. But for now, he didn't want to think about it.

Ccleks…

The door opened and revealed the surprised look of Black Aura. “Chloe?”

“Come, breakfast!” take Chloe with a warm smile.

Black Aura nodded obediently. He closes the door and walks into the kitchen with Chloe. As usual, his face looked flat.

While walking, Black Aura asked. “When are we looking for Aoi?”

“After breakfast. But, before looking for Aoi, we have to go to Minji's house to ascertain whether the girl actually locked herself in the house or not.” Chloe exhaled after discussing Minji. It still feels heavy but, he had no choice.

“What if we make two groups? The first group is looking for Aoi and Minji. Group two looking for Midnight. What say?”

“You better ask when we all get together. Right now, my mind is complicated and full. Haahh... I miss Aoi for some reason.”

Black Aura was silent for a moment. Since Rara's presence last night, Chloe looks different. The girl looks stiff. Both in expressing his face and his actions. Maybe, because Minji was involved as well.

“Don't assume I don't have dong.” The Black Aura's words quickly made the girl turn her head towards him.

“I'm here. If you want to tell a story, you can count on me. I'm glad you talked to me.” he continued flatly.

“Ah, yes too! Sorry, sometimes my mind is not clear. Well, how is it? I was...” Chloe closed her eyes like there was something strange on her mind. Soon, Chloe was immediately blunt so that something awkward was not forgotten because of the flow of time.

“Black Aura!” call him by closing his eyes.

“Ya?”

“You like me, right?”

Upon hearing the question, Black Aura choked. “Oi, yes... Why are you asking that?” ask her while coughing.

“I-it's because... Iss! Answer my question first!” force Chloe who is not strong enough to hold the red hue that is getting smoldering, both on her face and chest.

Black Aura sighed then, smiling. “Sorry yes..Your question is too difficult for me to answer. If you want to know my answer, I ask, you never stop smiling.”

“Loh? Why that?” Chloe shakes her head.

The aura was smiling, “Come, eat!” let him distract.

“Oi! Don't do it, dong!”

While stepping leaving Chloe, a mischievous smile was engraved on her face. Secretly, Black Aura laughed at the girl who was shrouded in curiosity as a result of her actions asking Black Aura his stupid questions.

Minji leaned against the wall of her porch while waiting for someone to pick her up. The outfit she wears today makes her look like an introverted girl who has just met the outside world. Yes, Minji is wearing an oversized black hoodie, long jeans and a hat. He also wears sunglasses so that his face is not easily known by anyone.

From the west, his ears responded to the roar of the motor engine. He took a quick glance and found the figure of the girl sitting on the motorcycle without taking off her helmet.

Either embarrassed or because she was lazy to speak, the girl told Minji to approach her using her hand gesture. Submissively, Minji obeyed the gesture.

“You're the girl who bullied Yuuki yesterday, right?” his tanyanya irritated Minji.

“Yes. Why?”

“Nothing. Just make sure, afraid of wrong address.” He said while giving up one more helmet on Minji. The girl wearing the helmet glanced around him. Check if anyone else is watching from far away.

“You're alone, right?” ask the girl.

“Ya.” Minji answered. He looked uninspired this morning. His face still looked pale but, the traces of tears last night had already disappeared from his face. After passing the night with regret, Minji made up his resolve to dare to accept his mistake. Although, she was not so sure of her choice last night while with Yuuki.

“Oh, yes! My name is Emma.” The girl rolled her helmet glass up and showed her two beautiful eyes.

Oh, he's here, anyway. Inner Minji. Then, he introduced himself.

“My name is Park Minji.”

“Koreans who are studying here, huh? By the way, are you worried about your girlfriend?” this time, the girl named Emma diverted the topic of the conversation.

“You know Yohan?” Minji stared cynically after wearing the helmet that Emma lent him.

“This is great news for you.” Said.

“What do you mean?”

“Cih, I'm not lying. From today, you and Yohan.”.

Minji was wide-eyed then, looking down. He bit the tip of his lips while holding back his frustration.

In addition, he tried to warn himself not to repeat the same mistake in front of this girl named Emma.

After finishing breakfast, Chloe, Jacqueline, Rara, and the three Auras discussed their plans today. Black Aura proposed to share two groups to search for the people they were looking for separately.

The Devil Mask also said, it would be very troublesome if the six of them gathered in one place. If only they were hit by an enemy trap, it would be difficult for them to find a way out. Recalling, their opponent this time had already come out from his hiding place.

The first group consists of Chloe, Black Aura, and Rara. The three of them were looking for Midnight and Minji. The rest of the group of two were looking for Aoi.

In front of Chloe's house, the group of two moves first to leave the first group. Chloe and Rara are seen discussing quietly. With Black Aura standing behind Chloe, pay attention to the debate which fortunately went well without any bickering from the two girls.

As Rara had said in the kitchen earlier, the girl asked them to approach her house and meet Minji. Ascertain whether Minji really locked himself inside the house or not.

“The door seems to be locked.” Rara muttered her frown after trying to open the door of Minji's house but the door seemed to be locked from the inside by her brother. Previously, Rara had called her brother's name repeatedly but there was no answer.

“Try you to call again? How do you know he picked it up?” chloe's proposal.

“Alright..” Rara complies quickly with Chloe's proposal and immediately contacts her sister.

Lazy to wait, Black Aura played to break down the door and finally, the door managed to open wide.

How surprised they find the condition of the living room chaotic. There, there are several rat traps scattered. Then, the yellow liquid that soaks the living room floor and the thread that is tied under the feet of tables and chairs.

Chloe immediately guessed that, all of these traps were the result of Minji's actions in anticipation of an intruder or burglar entering her house. Carefully, the three teenagers sneaked in.

“This water... Fragrant carbole?” Chloe looked in wonder at the yellow liquid. He thought, the liquid was kind of. Well, that's how it is. Needless to say it must have known, already know,

“Minji always set a trap before leaving. Inside his house, there were countless important documents that his father had kept. I never opened it.” Rara Said.

This time, the three of them climbed a few steps after struggling through Minji's trap.

The hallway on the second floor looks really creepy. There was no sign of life in it. Frightened, the two girls told Black Aura to walk in front of them.

“Cih, you have a home!” grunts Black Aura.

“Sorry-sorry.. In a moment we reach kok.” Rara said with a stiff smile as if she wanted to apologize to Black Aura while thanking them for protecting them from the darkness.

Finally, they arrived at the door that connected them to Minji's room. The two-and-a-half-meter-high door was tightly shut making it look like a haunted room.

“Open...” whispered Chloe.

Rara nodded slowly. After taking a breath, the girl clasped the doorknob. Feeling her heartbeat improve, Rara opened the door.

The door is now wide open. Simultaneously, the three of them were surprised to know the contents of the room.
