The Phantom Child's

Wolverine Gray

"Wolf Man?"

Aillard's voice sounded hoarse, he was terrified, but what he saw right now was a severely injured child not a wolf. He tried to think positively with the actual incident, the boy appeared when the wolf was in front of their eyes, it was very unlikely if two forms in one body appeared simultaneously.

"Audric, didn't you see that wolf in front of us, even when this kid showed up?" ask Aillard.

"Yes, but the wolf disappeared after we turned our eyes away. Did the wolf move that fast? Isn't it bigger than our car? If he ran there should have been a slight shock, at least we heard the sound of his legs or saw his shadow" Audric said.

Aillard fell silent, which Audric said was not wrong, but it did not prove that the child who was with them was a werewolf.

"Alright, we continue later, the most important thing is that we save him first, it looks like he lost a lot of blood.. He may, however, have information about what we saw today" Aillard said after calming down.

Audric said they finally took the boy with them to Delmare. Amidst the journey, Audric tried to treat the child's wounds with various drugs they brought, Audric also wrapped his wounds so that no dirt entered, while Aillard remained focused on the wheel.

The sun rose as soon as they reached Delmare. The city of Delmare is very prosperous, even almost no criminal acts occur in this city. In addition, Delmare also has a beautiful beach, many tourists who come to vacation here.

Aillard stopped in front of a store to buy some food. However, only Audric left, while he remained in the car along with the boy who was still unconscious in the back seat.

After a few seconds in the same place, Zico just came out of the flower shop right next to the store, even Michaelis parked the car behind Aillard's car. Shortly thereafter, Zylvechia also came out of the flower shop carrying a bouquet of roses. They wore luxurious black clothes that made them look elegant.

They enter the car before leaving without knowing that Aillard is in the car in front of them. Shortly after passing Aillard's car, the boy who was asleep in the back seat suddenly woke up and said one name while shouting.

"LARK!!!"

The spontaneous shout made Aillard flinch, he looked back at the boy looking for something by looking in all directions. Shortly after, Audric got into the car with a bag filled with food and drinks.

"Why are you yelling?" ask Aillard.

"Where are we??" ask the boy.

"Delmare.." replied Audric.

"Wait, why are you yelling? You had a bad dream?" ask Aillard.

"How far is it to get to Dragon Palace?" ask the boy.

"Huh? Why do you want to go to Randolf's house?" ask Audric.

"I'm.."

His words stopped for a moment.

"You mentioned one name, is he the one you want to meet?" ask Aillard.

"My name is Grey, I'm one of Miss Ethelyne's friends." said the boy named Grey without answering Aillard's question.

"I've been asking you since, why are you ignoring me?" ask Aillard.

"I beg you, Sir, take me to him. He must know me, I dare not lie!" said Grey.

Audric nodded in understanding, he looked towards Aillard who might be upset at the moment, but after all they had the same goal, in addition, they couldn't waste any more time either.

Aillard immediately started the engine and drove forward.

Audric reopened the conversation to fill their void, but no one was interested in the topic this time.

"You know, the people here started talking about wolf Aumans, they really believe in werewolves just because of that Auman." Audric said.

No one responded, neither Aillard nor Grey.

"Grey, why are your pupils red?" ask Audric.

"Have you ever seen your family have the same eyes?" ask Audric again.

"Almost everything, but I don't think they exist now." Grey replied still calmly.

"What does it mean no more?" ask Audric.

"You don't understand? How old areyou? I think you should have learned the word." said Grey speaking like an adult.

Not only Audric, even Aillard was shocked.

"What did you say?" ask Audric.

"I said they might be dead by now!" said Grey casually.

"Huh???!!" Audric.

"That's not true, if they die you should stay home and mourn for them." said Aillard.

"It's precisely because they died that I'm here!" answer Grey.

"You buried them?" ask Aillard.

"What can be in the grave, not all beings have the same death. Thank you for the ride gentlemen.." concluded Grey and went down ahead of them.

Aillard and Audric were still digesting the thing they had just talked about with the red-eyed boy. They just try not to believe the words of children, so they ignore what they just heard.

Meanwhile, Jasper who was supposed to welcome the arrival of Aillard and Audric was urged by Grey who asked to be reunited with Zylvechia.

"Come, Jack.. Take me to see him, it's urgent!" said Grey.

That was heard by Aillard and Audric who walked towards them. Meanwhile, Jasper gave his regards to the two Young Masters.

"Welcome back, Young Master." said Jasper.

"Young Master? So y'all? Randolf's eldest son? So I've been with you all this time?" grey wondered.

"Not that long, just last night!" Aillard.

"Bodo, Jack, take me to see him, this is very, very, very urgent, please understand." whine Grey.

"Young Master Wolverine.. You are no longer a child, stop whining!" said Michaelis who came along with Zico.

"Jasper you can take him to meet Zylvechia.. He's at Melody Hall.. Let me drop my brother off." said Zico.

"Well, Young Master." said Jasper.

"Thank you Coco." said Grey.

Jasper takes Grey to meet Zylvechia, while the two new arrivals wonder who Grey really is.

"Who is that boy? He's a noble too? He said his family died in a relaxed manner." said Aillard.

"He's a friend of Zylve's, just not close to me, I'll take you to see Dad." said Zico then walked in front followed by Aillard and Audric.

Meanwhile, Michaelis is glued. I don't know what kept him quiet, in a few moments he was facing north before finally catching up with Zico.

On the other hand, Zylvechia was playing her piano, she stopped when she felt the presence of someone.

"Truly presumptuous, huh?" muttered Zylvechia until the sound of footsteps stopped because of his hearing.
