The Butterfly Trap
The Part 14
" Oh, he said he wanted to protect me for treating his partner" I replied.
" Protect from what? try to be more clear if you explain something that's Sisi!"
" It's actually related to the case that we're investigating, when I was taken north, they asked me to handle their comrade who was hit by a poisoned arrow, when I checked it, they asked me to handle their partner, madam know what I found?"
" What?"
" It turned out that he was dying not because of that poisonous arrow but because of the poison garaga Q that he had consumed for a long time!"
" You mean the same poison you found in your family's body?"
" Right, and worse, I accidentally discovered a big secret that put me in danger".
" I've told you, being in contact with nobles will only endanger your life, still won't listen, so what's the big secret you found?"
" One is planning to finish off the purifiers, based on the investigation by taking the blood of fifty percent of the purifiers in the north, one hundred percent of them are exposed to the poison of garaga Q but the poison is still categorized as a little"
" Why side are you talking about it like it's normal?"
" What do you mean by madam? I even became the target of the perpetrators because I managed to cure their colleagues who were exposed to the poison".
" How did the perpetrator know of your whereabouts?"
I explained everything to Miranda, from the suspicion of spying on Zurich's team to the hit men who infiltrated Zurich's house last night, but I didn't say anything about my contract with Zurich in my story.
" It's strange, if just protecting you he couldn't possibly bring you to his residence, let alone you being a female, did he realize his actions would cause rumors in the upper circles? if it's just protecting, he can send one of his captains to do that, there's no way the Taurus faction doesn't have the ability, right?"
' Yes, the Prophet also said madam but I also do not know any other reason' I replied in my head.
" Is there anything else you're hiding from me, Sisi?"
" What's madam?" I coughed a little because I was bad at lying.
" I told you everything?"
He looked at me with a suspicious look, "Si, I know you not for a day or two, you always cough a little if you want to hide something".
' Shit Shit, why is Madam so sharp? how'sthis? no way I'm telling you about my powers that's been discovered, right? can I die, how?'
I smiled awkwardly, "There's nothing I'm hiding about Madam, oh yeah I think we should go to her grandfather's secret room-"
" HUMAN HOI", shouted a voice that stopped my speech.
' This sound feeling is so familiar'
I turned to the source of the voice, saw a white rabbit standing up and looking at me sharply from the corner of the room.
" Zeju? why are you here?"
" You're still asking why I'm here? you crazy? could you leave me alone in that lonely shack?" he was angry with me, even though he looked very angry, but in my eyes he looked very adorable.
" When I went to your house, I found him locked up in an iron cage, he looked hungry so I brought him here" Miranda said.
" He's starving and locked up in a cage? sure enough", I said with a laugh.
The rabbit was irritated by my reaction to jump at me and kick my cheek with his foot.
" ouch...You.." I said after him who was hiding behind Miranda.
" It's Sisi, if you can't take care of him why take him with you?"
" It wasn't my Madam, Zurich who took her, no, she who followed Zurich to Duke Abelard's castle, instead of taking care of him, she instead threw her responsibility at me".
" How dare you say that, Man", he cried again which made Miranda laugh.
I who saw Miranda laugh was confused because she was not the type of person who would suddenly laugh so, as long as I knew her, I had never seen her laugh like that.
" You guys are really a good match" he said still laughing.
" What does that mean? undaunted, can Madam also hear the voice of this arrogant creature?"
" Of course, you think when I get to your house I'll just go in when I knock on the door and have no answer? I came in because I heard a voice for help, I thought it was you uh it turned out that his voice came from him".
" Why can? Zurich and the others could not even hear his voice".
" Of course you can, in his blood flows the blood of my race!" the white rabbit sat down on the chair and jumped on the table and ate the snacks that had been served to me.
" Blood of the same race? Madam's rabbit descendant too?" ask me innocently.
As the two laughed out loud at my question, of course it bothered me, I tilted my head and waited for one of them to explain further to me.
" My grandmother was descended from fox and human demons, so there was indirectly demon blood flowing in my blood" Miranda finally replied.
" demons? so me too?"
They nodded.
" Bentar I don't understand, how can I be a descendant of a demon? What kind of plot twist is this?"
" I never said I wasn't a demon, I just said I wasn't a rabbit demon" she replied, re-enjoying the cookies on the table.
I clucked, not believing what I heard from the rabbit's mouth, it was truly an arrogant creature.
" If you're not a rabbit demon? then what are you?"
' What kind of fantasy is this? am I dreaming? how could a talking rabbit be normal? what the hell do you think Sisi is? is there anything normal about the world you live in? which normal world is there a monster as well as its awakener?' my thinking.
" Madam, what does it mean that I'm also a demon?"
" It's not a demon, it's also more spirit, if my grandmother is half human and half demon then your grandmother is pure spirit" Miranda replied.
" What's the difference between demon and spirit? how did Grandma and Grandpa meet?"
" Spirit is the leader of the demons, more like his nation of demon nobles" this time the rabbit explained.
I laughed, 'I must be dreaming'
" You think Noah would be that easy to make peace with a demon if it wasn't for your grandmother?"
" Zeju, do you know my grandfather?"
" Of course!"
" Why are you a rabbit? is there a rabbit spirit?"
" What nonsense are you talking about? why do I have to explain to you why I am like this?"
" That's because you live with me and I'm responsible for you, you should at least pay me with the information you know" I told her.
" What a responsibility, you even left me alone in your reot hut" she replied.
" Once, now we focus first on what you were about to say earlier" Miranda interceded with us.
I looked towards the white rabbit, hesitating to continue what I was about to say to Miranda.
" As for grandfather's secret room, I've seen the word Homunculus in one of grandfather's books, only I forget what it's about".
" Homunculus?"
I'm nodding.
" What does the Homunculus have to do with garaga Q?"
" I don't know but my instincts tell me it has something to do with the slaughter of my family" I replied with a breath.
" Homunculus the destroyer", a small mutter came from Zeju.
" Do you know what a Zeju Homunclus is?" I asked who heard the little mutterings of the white rabbit.
" Of course, who do you think I am?"
" rabbit"
" Ck", he's pissed off.
" Ehm.." I approached the white rabbit who was still cool with the snack.
" Can you help me, Zeju? I promise to treat you well, even I will grant you one wish" I said, pleading with him.
The rabbit looked at me with a suspicious look, like he was weighing between believing me or not.
" three requests:
" Two requests", I replied not to lose.
" Three, if you don't want to" he answered in front of me.
" Okay deal" I said half-screaming because the rabbit seemed to be running away because his stomach was full.
He jumped at me and looked at me for a long time, then asked me to make a magic contract with him, although still hesitant with the white rabbit but I convinced myself to believe him, it's better to try than wait for information that I don't know when I can gather.
After he finished making the contract, the rabbit explained that Homunullus was the leader of the monster territory, he had seven commanders of the army whom he called the seven deadly great sins, that of the arrogant Pride, Greed the greedy, Envy the envious, Wrath the grumpy, Lust the lustful, Gluttony the greedy and Sloth the lazy last.
" These seven led every territory that existed in the monster territory under the rule of Homunglus, where I met Zurich was the territory of the slacker Sloth, they look like normal humans in general but during the full moon they will not be able to withstand their respective natures" he replied.
" If the Q garaga is developed by them, then I think they are a very intelligent race" Miranda said after hearing Zeju's story.
" Right, when I managed to infiltrate their territory, I discovered one thing that was extraordinary, their territory was not like the monster territory we had imagined, all this time, the environment is beautiful and even the air there is very clean but there is only the law of the jungle, who is strong he is in power"
I shuddered in horror at the explanation, now all the puzzles that had been lacking pieces had slowly formed a single conclusion in my head.
" If we combine the events that occurred in the kingdom during this time we will find a conclusion" I said staring at the two.
" The monsters are preparing for war with the human world, Asumsiku said that they plan to rule the world and make damage" I said then glanced at Zeju.
" Isn't the demon territory also on alert?"
