The Crisis World XX

Chap. 98: Travel to Japan

On a quiet and lonely night, a person is sleeping comfortably and soundly. A woman was sleeping in a spacious room measuring about 8×8 square meters.

With luxurious decorations and furniture-furniture plated in gold and silver make it look very expensive and valuable. The woman slept in a bed for two people with a mosquito net covering her so no insects could enter and disturb her sleep comfort.

In addition to a luxurious and comfortable mattress, in his room there are also many dolls with various types. Starting from those made of flannel, ceramic, wood, even from plastic also does not miss neatly arranged on a 3-meter-high glass shelf.

Then there is also a dressing table with red aromatherapy candles that look exhausted and a variety of jewelry and complete cosmetic tools there.

Back to the arrangement of dolls on the large glass shelf, of all the many types of dolls there are about five ceramic dolls that are most prominent.

They have a similar appearance and look like they are inspired by real humans and one of them is similar to the person who is in Japan today, namely Astaroth.

Then the weather that was originally calm and comfortable to sleep, suddenly turned cloudy and cloudy. The light of the moon and the stars that illuminated the night sky were also instantly gone and the sound of thunder began to be heard.

Glucose... Glucose...

"Nghn ...."

The woman began to be disturbed by the sound of thunder earlier and muttered and changed her sleeping position to be more comfortable.

Blaarr... Kraaakk...

"Hakh—?!"

The woman's eyes were open and shocked. The sound of lightning that struck earlier made him wake up and made his chest pound a little. He woke up and sat on his bed.

He looked out the window whose window was not perfectly closed with the curtain. The woman could see the occasional light of lightning coming from behind the curtain.

The woman then got out of her bed and took a glass of water which she had prepared at the small table next to her bed. After drinking a few sips until half was left, he put it back in its place before.

After being calm and quite aware, he was not too sleepy anymore and wanted to go around his room. He also turned on a sleeping lamp that was also on his small table because he thought the room here was too dark.

His gaze after turning on the lights instantly fixed on the puppet on his glass shelf. It was seen that the woman was very fond of dolls because this was the thing that made her smile the first time after waking up from earlier.

He looked at them all like precious friends. But there was one thing that made his smile suddenly disappear, which was a huge crack in one of his ceramic dolls.

He opened the door of his glass shelf and took the ceramic doll. The woman watched him well and realized that the crack was on the face of a ceramic doll similar to Astaroth.

"What happened to you there, uncle?"

Praangs...

The woman then dropped the cracked doll to the ground and of course it was crushed into small pieces. After crushing it until it was not recognized again, he took one of the pieces that had a sharp tip.

"Let's meet him" the woman muttered.

Sryings...

After taking one of the ceramic doll fragments, the woman then directed it to the vein of her left hand and then sliced it until fresh blood flowed from there.

The blood left on the splinter was then licked clean and something strange happened.

Zwuush...

A flash of fragments of memories suddenly appeared within the woman's mind which made her eyes widen. And at the end of the memory piece, he could see Astaroth's body lying on the ground with his head separated from his body.

And the piece of memory in a fast film that played in the woman's mind was finally finished. He was in shock and could not say anything after seeing what had happened.

Blaamm...

"Seana-sama! I heard the sound of objects breaking from an—Seana-sama's room?"

Suddenly a man entered into the woman's room—There it was. He was wearing a full butler outfit indicating that he was a waiter in this place.

The man looked worried and increasingly worried when he saw Seana standing still in front of the glass shelf of her doll collection. He also saw on the floor a lot of messy ceramic fragments and blood pouring from Seana's hands.

"Hand you—"

"I'm fine, Dillon."

"Eh?"

"I'm .. It's okay."

Seana looked at her servant—Dillon. He tried to express himself normally even though tears still fell on his cheeks. While Dillon can only approach Seana and treat her left hand with a bandage in her dresser drawer.

After he finished treating her, Dillon retreated back and kept his distance and lowered his head to wait for the next command from Seana-sama. He could not get too close to Seana-sama because he was just a servant.

"Sorry I was presumptuous to know like this, but what are you doing to hurt yourself, Seana-sama?"

"You don't have to worry like that, I've done this a lot."

"I suggest you stop doing it. You can't hurt your skin all the time like that, you worry me too."

Seana smiled because her servant who seemed to care deeply for her and worried about her. He can entertain himself a little but still wants to take care of it, the thing he sees in his memory.

But he can't just leave right now. He had to tell everyone that Astaroth was dead. But Seana chose not to, she would keep this a secret to herself.

"Thank you for worrying about me."

"It is my duty as your servant."

"Then will you accompany me somewhere?"

"Of course, you can count on me. But if you'll find out, where are we going?"

"Japan."

"Eh?"

"We're going to Japan."

Seana looked towards the window whose curtain she had already opened completely. He will come alone to Japan and will take care of everything there, until the perpetrator who killed Astaroth he captured and killed with his own hands.

**

In the morning, Seana was in her room after finishing breakfast in the dining room. While being this kind of leisure, he usually takes care and combing the hair of his dolls as he is doing right now.

After combing it with a few sidings, he raised his puppet up high and watched it with a smile.

"You're beautiful as always, mother," murmured Seana.

Right after he spoke like that, his servant—Dillon came and reported to Seana. He reported to her that they were both ready to leave, and there was only one more thing left to do.

"Silk." Dillon knelt down and waited for Seana to speak.

"Has the preparation all finished?"

"Yes, I've taken care of everything. But there's still one thing you have to do yourself."

"I know that. The most troublesome thing of all."

Seana then came out of her room and Dillon followed behind her. He walked into a large empty hallway filled with gold ornaments and red carpets along the hallway.

They walked on until they stopped in front of a large, tightly shut door. Dillon then swiftly and sensibly opened the door and they both entered into it.

The room they entered was a throne room with a spacious room and a red carpet that had not stopped to the end of this room. And at the end of this room was a throne and someone sitting there.

A woman who was sitting with a fierce face and a sharp gaze watched Seana and Dillon who were walking over to her. The woman wears a red dress that blooms on the part of her skirt, with bondol ties on her blonde hair. She is the queen and owner of this castle.

After being at a fairly close distance, Seana and Dillon knelt down and lowered their faces before finally speaking.

"Mother, I asked permission to meet Uncle Griffin in Japan."

"Meet my brother? What do you want to do there? You're just gonna interrupt his research."

"I promise I won't bother him, there's something I need to talk to him about. Besides, I'm also a little curious about what he's doing there."

"Hm ...."

Seana's mother is suspicious of her son's current behavior. While Seana herself just lowered her head trying to wait whether she would be allowed or not.

This is the most troublesome part of being a person's responsibility, not being able to be free wherever they want and having to report no matter what happens to him.

But after the awkward and tense atmosphere that felt strong in the throne room, Seana's mother began the conversation and gave her answer.

"All right, I'll allow it. But you can't go there alone."

"Just take it easy, mother, I'll take Dillon with me for the trip this time."

A thin grin was created on Seana's face which instantly disappeared as she raised her face to face her mother.

"Thank you, mother."

Seana and Dillon then walked out of the throne room earlier after getting a satisfactory answer for the two of them, although they could not show their pleasure now.

"Wait ...."

But before he came out of the throne room, Seana's mother called him again. They both stopped their steps and without turning to wait for the next word from their mother.

"... Are you keeping something from me, Seana?"

Seana did not answer him directly. He was worried that his panicked face could be seen if he turned around now, as his eyes were slightly widened at this moment assuming that his mother knew the plan.

While in such a state of panic, his servant—Dillon held his shoulder knowing that Seana was in a panic. He shook his head assuring that Seana's mother did not know his plan and that it was just his intuition.

Seana took a deep breath and the sweat of worry on her forehead disappeared. She turned around and answered her mother's question with a slight smile that seemed a little forced.

"Of course not, mother. I wouldn't dare lie like that to my mother."

"so. Then it's already."

Seana's plan works for now and they both get out of there.

In front of the castle door, when Seana and Dillon were about to leave they were still checking if their preparations were all ready. Seana wore a bean-brown cape that covered the back of her body to the feet, while the front only covered the top of her chest that was clamped with a pin with a black ribbon model.

While Dillon himself is not much decorated and only wears complete butler clothes. And after no one was left behind, they finally left.

While on the way, everything felt boring to Seana. So he invited Dillon to talk even though he was currently busy working on something.

"Nee, Dillon."

"Are you calling me, Seana-sama?"

"I did say that we wanted to go to Japan, but do you know how we can get there quickly and safely?" ask Seana.

"Nl? If that's what I've thought about it carefully. The fastest way we get there is by plane."

"Aircraft? Oh... You mean the flying object that used to pass over that palace? Can it be climbed by someone?"

"Yes, just calm down. Oh right, I want to ask you one thing, Seana-sama. When you get there, will you understand and speak Japanese?"

"I could if it was just a casual conversation, but their kanji letters are still a little bit that I memorized. Besides I've learned some languages in the castle, what about you, Dillon?"

"If I didn't have any problems myself, I used to be told to ask Griffin-sama to learn Japanese."

"Oh, yeah."

Seana then daydreams and smiles waiting for what she will see in Japan. Even though he already knew that his uncle was dead, but he would soon be there and investigate everything.

"After all ..I am just a princess isolated from the outside world" muttered little Seana.

Because right now, they were on a canoe that was only enough for a few people. While Dillon was rowing until they reached the mainland.

Their castle is on a small island in the middle of a lake that is also well covered and well camouflaged by nature thanks to the mounds of rock hills that naturally cover it.

There were only a few small exits and entrances that were difficult to detect from afar. If you want to see the castle clearly, you have to go through the air. But no humans did it because they did not know the existence of the castle, and the castle was already given an aura protector that made it disguised from the outside world.

The people living inside the castle were not many either, just a few people and a few servants. There were no guards at all because the abilities of the servants and the owner of the castle were already strong enough to protect himself.

Seana who was daydreaming while holding hands her chest was a little pounding because she could not wait for what new things she would see in Japan later.
