My Beautiful Mafia

Ch.33 Cursed Island

Leo was saved. Now Chici is sitting caressing Leo's head lying on his lap. Leo looked into Chici's teary eyes.

"Grrr" ('Please don't cry. I'm sorry to trouble you ')

Leo got up and bowed before Chici. The Blood One members who accompanied Chici there seemed confused to see Chici who suddenly cried and smiled at the ferocious beast before him.

"Miss, if I may know, what did he say?" asked one of them powerless to hold back his curiosity.

"Hmm?? He apologized for making it difficult for me to treat his injuries." Chici replied as she turned Leo's head back into her lap.

"Ooh so. How can you communicate with 'them' ?"

"It's actually easy. You guys can learn. It's just that I can't teach you guys. I learned how to communicate with other creatures as a child. I learned from a grandfather I helped on the side of the road."

"Grrrrrr" ('Follow interfering with people's affairs only! what right does he have to ask that? If I were like you, I'd throw him in the middle of the sea. Huhhh basic').

Chici laughed when she heard him.

"You better not ask such a thing in front of Leo or you will be cursed by Leo" Chici said chuckling.

Feeling ridiculed, they looked at Leo who happened to also glance at them while sticking out his tongue.

"Cihh Damn tiger*n. If you're not a lady's favorite, I'll chop you up" they grumbled.

('Cihh basic human bod*h-!! Before you can chop me up, you're the first one who's been filling my stomach')

"Hahaha, you have already! better get some rest. I'm fine here with Leo, I want to talk to him about something" said Chici, who understands their conversation without the knowledge of others.

"Alright, take care of yourself, miss. If this cat hurts you just yell, I'll make him satay for my pet"

('Sial*n-! who would want to hurt him?! ') Leo ran after Chici's men out of the room.

"Hm..Nevermind Leo. There's something important I want to talk to you about."

('What about Chiyo Ryuu?') guess Leo.

"Yes.. How did you know?" chici asked in surprise at Leo's guess.

('I heard when you said you met your parents. I had expected this to happen. You also know I'm not just any animal, our nation is called a sacred animal.')

"Yes..But that's not what I meant..."

('I know. Listen to me first. Our people have the same life as humans. We have ancestors like you. Do you know why you can talk to me? ')

"I told you I learned from a grandfather"

('No-no! You wrong. That ability was lost 5 centuries ago when our world was destroyed. Now there are only two sacred animals on this earth. Me and Weirnix. Weirnix was a giant serpent, but he had the gift of a Goddess. He was able to shrink its size on a par with a snake in the usual.')

('I asked your family's origin to my ancestors. And they say, Chiyo Ryuu was the concubine of a former prince. But after the fact that she was a goddess was revealed, she was much sought to take her blood for the kabadian of their lives. He was saved by a god.').

"Golden Dragon God" Guman Chici.

('Yes. From their second marriage, they had two children. Men and women. But his power was not passed down in one child. The daughter inherited the power of the Goddess, and the son inherited the power of the Dragon God. Just so you know, girls are your ancestors. The soul of Goddess Chiyo Ryuu reincarnated in you is the first time.it is the greatest gift in history. ')

"Mother said my strength won't last forever, that means I'll only be a Goddess for a while?!"

(' Yes.. Goddess Chiyo Ryuu will not be carelessly reincarnated.My grandfather said that power will be lost when you have intercourse.')

"good. That means the toughest time of my life is right now. Where I had to solve the mystery of the chaos years ago. Only then can I live normally."

('true. And when you're married, I'll die along with your powers. Before you go back to China, you have to find Weirnix first. We have the same job to help you. We live in this world just for that.')

Leo's down. He was very comfortable living with Chici. His feelings were torn to shreds as he imagined the moment he would leave Chici. There was a fear of leaving Chici. But he can't do much. Their world is different.

"Is there no way to keep you alive?" Chici was sad to hear that.

('There's one way. But I suggest you never kiss him')

"Tell me. I will consider" Chici said after seeing a speck of hope.

('You must go to the fire lotus island and take the fire lotus flower. The flower only grows once every 5 years and there are only 3 fruits each year. But there unlike the island in general, many wild animals roam around and also the poisons of some types of plants that live there. With the growth of that flower that was extremely rare would make everyone hunt him down. Not only humans, but also many animals are eyeing it. But..."

"But what?" Chici asked a little doubtfully.

('Although I will still be alive after eating the flower, I will no longer be able to communicate with you as I am now. Even so, this is a good opportunity for you. I'm sure Weirnix will come there too. Take her home with you, just tell me you're special to me.')

"alright. When is the right time to take the flowers?"

('One more month, coinciding with the full moon')

"good. I'll go there." Chici say steady.

Leo tries to forbid Chici from going to the cursed island. He knows very well how things are in the area. Chici insisted he wanted to go there.

On one hand Leo is happy, Chici cares for him. On the other hand, he is also worried about Chici's safety. Eventually, Leo allowed Chici to leave as long as she went with him.

With the departure he with Chici will be faster and easier to find the locations where the fire lotus flowers grow. He was also able to convince Weirnix to come home with them.

"I don't want to lose you. I don't want to lose another precious one to my life." chici said after leaving the room.

Chici said goodbye to his members to go home to rest. The hard days made him tired. There are so many absurd puzzles in his life. Finally Chici came home with a sense of uncertainty.
