Legend of the Moon Crystal

Chapter 145 "Live And Be Happy"

"Teacher, what's going on? What's going on?!"

Anorexa answered nothing, raised his hand, stepped towards Zeron and pulled something from half of his body.

The blackish thing immediately appeared in Zeron's sight. A flash of memory appeared in his mind, and his manic expanded with a paled face. It was a demonic beast that controlled it. Staring at his teacher, Zeron found a burn on his right arm and could not help but feel an overwhelming sense of distress in his heart. His body trembled and his eyes reddened.

"Did I do it, teacher?"

Her voice shook, and Anorexa shook her head. "This demonic beast did it, not you."

Zeron spoke again. "But what made the teacher hurt was me. It was my magic, and I cast that magic!"

Anorexa did not answer, and continued to maintain its position. The demonic beast slowly crept into Anorexa's body, the woman looked at Zeron who was looking at her in horror. "A—What are teachers trying to do?! Stop that!! Teacher, let me go!!"

Although he felt his body almost split apart when he rebelled, he did not care as long as the woman removed his hand from his shoulder and stopped his actions to take the Demon Beast from his body. Seeing Zeron trying to get away from her, Anorexa quickly grabbed him in her arms and locked his movements. Not letting go even when Zeron rebelled and tried to push him.

Although Zeron always craved the warm embrace of his teacher that he never got again, Zeron for the first time did not want his teacher to hold him like that.

"Teacher!! Release me!!"

Anorexa let the Demonic Beast slowly rule her body, yet she tried to continuously maintain her consciousness. He opened his lips. "Zee, can you just calm down and hug the teacher for now?"

Hearing the words of Amorexa, the water of Zeron's face changed. His eyes were reddened and gleaming with tears welling up his eyes.

"Teacher.."

Anorexa shook her head. "It's okay, there's no need to be afraid. You'll be fine after this, teacher promised."

Zeron immediately shouted, "Then what about the teacher? Is the teacher going to be okay?!"

Anorexa did not answer Zeron's question and let go of his embrace when he suddenly raised his hand and stuck his fingertip to it and his glowing finger gave off a reddish-colored light. There was a sheet of flower petals that then fell from his palm, and the Zeron bead was rounded.

"Teacher .. gave me the Dream Flower Seal?!"

Anorexa stepped back, and the motionless Zeron simply fell silent in his place, looking at Anorexa who was standing on her back against the overflowing mountain crater. The demonic beast fully clung onto the woman's body, and gradually moved to cover her body.

"I don't want to forget the teacher!! No!! No teacher!! I beg you to abort the seal of the teacher!! Master!!"

"Zee."

Anorexa called out in a calm voice. "Teacher knows if you won't be able to remember the teacher's words anymore. But, the teacher still wanted to say this. "

He put on a very sweet smile, before taking out a simple series of sentences, and letting his body fall. And disappeared behind the sunken volcanic crater that blazes. Right after, Zeron fell unconscious with tears streaming down his face.

When she opened her eyes again, she was still in the same spot, with the sunlight hitting her face and letting the trail of her tears dry up. His gaze blankly looked around him, and he did not move for a long time, before he muttered in a soft voice.

"I .. Why am I crying?"

Fifteenth Day, Eleventh Month, Autumn

The girl stepped quietly on the hills. A lush forest greeted his vision, and magic beasts seemed to gather somewhere as dawn began to break.

His long mane strands were scattered by the wind as he slowly stepped out of the path and approached the magical beasts. There were no strong magic beasts there, and there were only medium and weak leveled magic beasts that were usually made as pet magic beasts. His pair of orange beads looked at the bundle of cloth surrounded by a protective barrier.

His hand stretched out to break the barrier and caught it in the fist.

A pair of gray beads exposed to a soft light made her appearance warm and charming. Anorexa looked at him and muttered. "Are you alone too?"

"It's okay, you won't be alone from now on."

Anorexa smiled and gently rubbed her cheeks. "I won't let you feel the loneliness I've ever felt."

...***...

"Teacher hopes you can meet someone who can pull you from the loneliness you will feel. No, teacher is sure you'll find her soon."

"You'll live happily, Zee."
