We were sitting in a room that wasn't very large. Only about 9×7 meters. This is Uncle Oliver's office. We sat on the couch, with two cups of warm tea in front of us. Uncle Oliver was sitting in the other seat in front of us. I'm sure that Uncle Oliver would want to talk about us in the town of Bluelagoon. I'm sure it must be.
" So Zayn, what do you think of the town of Bluelagoon?" Uncle Oliver asked "beautiful town, didn't he?"
" Yes, I don't think it's too bad" I replied.
" You can't be honest with yourself, Zayn."
" I think it's a beautiful city" Kayn said.
" And what is the state of the city that makes your nature change, Zayn?"
" It's not because of the city, it's because of one of the girls in town" Kayn said.
" Stop answering the questions that were directed at me!" My protest.
" Girl?" Ask uncle Oliver
" The noble girl named Elizabeth Bathory. The girl who just joined us is what changed Zayn" Kayn continued. I stared at him unhappily. This kid always does it.
" Ooh, so it is. It seems I should thank him later" said Oliver's uncle "in addition to Kayn, you look more radiant than ever. Looks like something happened to you there too, huh?"
" Y-yeah.about that..."
" Kayn has got his heart in the city, of course his heart has flowered like that" I said.
" Oh-zayn!!"
Uncle Oliver laughed when he heard it. Kayn immediately flushed in embarrassment. I couldn't bear to hold my laughter.
" So yes, congratulations Kayn" said Uncle Oliver still a little laugh "
" And amazingly, that girl also joined us. Her name is Liliana Rosweiss" I said.
" Stop Zayn!"
" really? Well it's just fitting that you two be bright and excited like this" said Uncle Oliver "it turns out that because your hearts adoration has become part of us. I don't care about that but don't miss the job because it's Kayn, Zayn"
We both looked embarrassed. Shit, I got my own words. I need to keep my mouth more.
Uncle Oliver was silent for a moment, sipping a cup of coffee. He then turned back to look at us
" I'm sure you've met Louise, right?" Ask Uncle Oliver. We nodded "and he must have told you all about your father, right?"
" I-it's right." we answered.
" I'm sorry for keeping it a secret. This is because your own father asked me to keep it a secret about his association with the organization" said Uncle Oliver "I'll explain back to you both. Listen carefully"
" good"
Uncle Oliver then told us at length, about everything that befell my father. The story is the same with what Osamu or Louise told. And this time Kayn with me heard it directly without intermediaries.
Fifteen minutes we were dissolved in that past story. After Uncle Oliver finished telling the story, Kayn's face looked grim. It looks like he is thinking about something. But I don't take it too seriously. He must still not accept the death of father.
After telling the story, Uncle Oliver again sipped his coffee. I also sipped the cup of tea prepared for us.
" Well Kayn, Zayn, let's get into our main topic."
Instantly the atmosphere became very serious. Kayn and I looked at Uncle Oliver seriously.
" I want you two to return to the town of Bluelagoon" said Uncle Oliver.
Whahuh? How coincidental! Is this really a coincidence or is Uncle Oliver already planning this?
" Why?" Kayn asked astonished "have the sentence not been completed yet?"
" No, this has nothing to do with Zayn's punishment"
" So, did something happen?" My toot. My feelings are getting bad.
" In the next few days there will be a massive invasion of the enemy" said the serious uncle "but this time our enemy is not the Devil. This time it's a different creature than the devil."
I'm stunned. Our enemy is not the devil. Then who?
" What are they then?" Ask Kayn.
" Vampires from the Archarke region, adjacent to the Silverstone kingdom"
A vampire? This time I had a mission like this. We've never seen anything less fight a vampire. Then how can we face them?
" This time the vampires seemed to be eyeing something in the town of Bluelagoon. But since the government there is keeping information about our organization a secret, we can't just walk into that place. Although the people there do not know about us, but the government insists on limiting our movement there. That's why we can only send 3 members."
" 3 people? Besides the two of us, who else?" My toot.
" I'm still considering it. Even so it will surely come at his time"
" What about Elizabeth and Liliana? They are natives of the kingdom and they still have parents in the town of Bluelagoon" he said.
" Well, then good, they'll come with you too. Because they're natives of that town there's nothing to worry about. No one knows they're joining us anyway, right?"
" Then Kayn, your Zayn will accept this mission right?"
" Of course"
This goes along with what we want. Wherever we might reject it. Although this mission is quite dangerous because our opponent is a vampire, an enemy that we have never faced.
" Then Kayn, Zayn, this is your first mission after being released" Oliver's uncle said "as much as possible to prevent the massive invasion before it happens "
" Good "
" You're leaving in 4 days. Until then train as hard as you can" continued Uncle Oliver "remember, your enemy this time is not the devil, and there is no possibility of the devil not interfering. New enemies you must face with new strength. Practice and become stronger"
" good!"
After saying that, Kayn and I left the room. But I thought of something. Then I turned around to face Uncle Oliver
" Where's Zayn going?" Ask Kayn
" Some forgot to tell Uncle Oliver. You go first Kayn"
" I see, then quickly return to the room after meeting uncle" said Kayn seriously. " There's something I want to talk to you about"
" Uh? All right I understand"
Kayn left me and went back to my room. But what is he talking about? What exactly does Kayn want to talk to me about? His face looks so serious.
I went back to Uncle Oliver's room and saw him for the second time.
" What's up Zayn?"
" Uncle Oliver.I heard it from Louise.about 3 of my father's magic" I said.
" then?"
" Please, teach me Absorb magic"
Uncle Oliver fell silent, then smiled.
" If you really want to, come tomorrow morning to the test room" said Oliver's uncle
" good"
That short conversation made my heart a little relieved. Uncle Oliver's willing to teach me Absorb magic. That means I have to try harder tomorrow.
I went out of the room, went back to the room. I wonder what Kayn wants to talk about. I was curious that my footsteps would be faster than usual. Kayn said it seriously like that, not just like him. This must be a very important thing.
In the room, Kayn sat on the bed staring at the floor. He was moody, like that. He must be thinking something.
" Kayn, what do you want to talk about?" My toot.
Kayn looked at me. Seriously looks.
" Zayn, I've been feeling this for a long time since you told me about Osamu's father, but I'm still holding him back because I didn't hear the story directly" Kayn said "but it's different now. I heard the story directly from Uncle Oliver, and it's exactly the same story you told me"
" Then, what's the problem?" My toot.
" From the exact same story, it's very strange. The story is very precise as if it had been agreed upon beforehand. And it was memorable made up" said Kayn.
" So you think Uncle Oliver and Mr Osamu made up that story?"
" Not just fabricating, they also seem to be hiding the truth about dad. About what really happened to my mom and dad 10 years ago"
" Where did you conclude that?"
" Aren't you aware of it?" Kayn asked "they recounted the murder in detail. They even told about the events before the murder, about the father who was about to be poisoned..but how did they know?"
" That's because.."
" How could they know that much detail? they were not with my father at the time" Kayn explained.
I'm speechless. What Kayn said is true. Uncle Oliver arrived late when it happened, impossible he could know all that. Besides, Louise wasn't at the scene at all. Then how could they know that much detail? After I thought, this didn't make sense.
" Even so I can't accuse the two of them, because I still don't have evidence" Kayn said "but one thing that makes me relieved"
" What is that?"
" There's still a possibility that the story is a lie, and I'm still alive" Kayn said.
" Wait a minute Kayn. Don't you see with your own eyes? father and mother have been killed by the demons" I argue
" are you sure that you've really been killed? are we attending his funeral? no, we don't even know where mom and dad are buried. Uncle Oliver always kept this a secret from us." Kayn returned.
" k-you're right..."
I shut up, not knowing what to say. It really makes me think nothing. Who is right between us? Uncle Oliver and Louise, or is my brother Kayn?
" Well, let's look ahead" Kayn said "whether the story is real or just fiction"
