The Phantom Child's

Maxime and Emma

The world is not only inhabited by humans, animals and plants. Without humans realizing it, something lived with them, hiding well without showing its true face.

That's what Damian thinks, in contrast to Aillard who always uses logic, Damian tries to think beyond reason, beyond the usual limits of humans where everything makes sense if the thought he uses.

Damian is in control as long as Aillard is absent, while Aillard himself has no idea about Damian suddenly joining forces and organizing his people. Brian only knows to obey Damian on the orders of the military police chief, Razac Anthonio.

Aillard arrived at Shannon after three days, just as Damian had calculated. Unlike the time he left, the trip this time was very smooth without any problems, as if what they had experienced before had never happened.

While Aillard goes to work, Zico and Audric head for their home. Zico is still very quiet, he only speaks a little when needed, the rest he just mute.

At the police station, Aillard's arrival was greeted by Brian who was already waiting for him. Besides Brian, someone was ready to officially introduce himself for the first time.

"Aillard, you're so late

"What's the situation right now?" Ask Aillard to cut.

"At least let me finish my words first!" Grumpy Brian.

"Mr Randolf?"

Someone called from inside the office, before long he appeared together with someone who faithfully followed him.

"You?"

"I'm Damian, a criminologist now assigned to your division, and this is Dax Lawrence, his assistant and personal secretary.. Nice to meet you, sir." Damian said.

"Ah, I've been asking for her help for a long time, I finally got it too.. Hope we work well together!" Reply Aillard.

"Sure, you don't have to doubt me." Damian added.

After a few seconds, someone came to call Aillard on Razac's orders. Aillard resigned to meet him.

On the other hand, Zico locked himself in his room, while Audric was getting ready to go to the cafe.

Before leaving, Audric went to Zico's room to tell him, but after speaking, he got no answer. He spoke once again, this time he took Zico to his Cafe to fill his free time to relax in Audric's Cafe compared to confining himself in the room.

"Zico, if you want, you can come along, at least you can relax while enjoying coffee compared to staying in your room." said Audric.

Shortly after, Zico opened his door, Audric saw a flat expression on Zico's face.

"I'm sorry, I'm exhausted, I'll just rest at home, brother be careful on the road." said Zico.

After saying that, Zico went back into his room without further ado, Audric also understood that, just like he used to be, Zico was probably still not used to his new environment. Moreover, this decision was not what he wanted, as Zico seemed to always want to be with his twin brother, Zylvechia.

Audric leaves Zico alone at home, on the way when he gets off the bus, he meets a woman who is also a friend and friend who works at his Cafe. They were close enough that anyone who saw them would think they were lovers.

"Audric?"

Audric turned his head towards the source of the voice and the woman ran over to him.

"Emma? You're alone, where's Max?" asked Audric who stopped for a moment to equate his steps with his girlfriend.

"Maybe she's cleaning up at the cafe right now, I just finished something so a little late." replied the red-haired girl.

Audric only nodded in understanding, after which they walked together towards the Cafe.

Audric hired two of his best friends who were also students like him. Unlike Emma, who is Audric's neighbor, Maxime is a student from the westernmost city, Halstead City, where nobles dominate the region.

However, Maxime denied that he was a son of runaway noble descent, as Halstead City knew was one of the cities that experienced the Five Massacre Terror. Mysterious terror allegedly perpetrated by the Un-Human.

Upon the arrival of Audric and Emma at the Cafe, the place was clean and tidy, Maxime was already in his leisure position, reading a book accompanied by his favorite coffee.

"Oh, come on, you're interrupting my reading time, Audric." said Maxime complaining while trying to focus on reading.

"Because I've come, it means your reading time is over, it's time to work." said Audric.

Not answering anymore, Maxime threw his gaze to reply to Audric's words, it made Audric sigh.

"Haaahh, all right, do what you want, Young Master maxime." said Audric as he walked towards his room.

"Once again the boss was afraid of his subordinates." ledek Emma who enjoyed Audric's defeat.

In the end, Maxime remains the first person to serve guests, he has good communication skills to make customers happy when he serves them.

The three of them worked as usual until midnight. When the close, usually Audric invite his two friends to dinner and drink together before going home, they will enjoy dinner with a chat that will be forgotten the next day.

However, this time Audric discussed something else, something they had never discussed before even though this was a scene among the townspeople.

"Ah, do you know the Un-Human theory?" chirp Audric in the middle of the chat.

Immediately, Emma and Maxime stop eating them.

"I think the theory is true, I may not be able to prove it, but I seem to have seen the creature." said Audric.

Her two best friends fell silent, until Audric thought he had said something wrong.

"What's wrong?" audric asked when he realized the behavior of his two friends was very strange.

"Audric, what do you see?" ask Maxime.

"A hairy beast." replied Audric.

"Wolf.." continued after a few seconds of silence.

"Puffd's"

Emma held her laughter while holding her stomach.

"Really, I think you met Batman, Hulk or King Kong or something, I'm sorry, ha ha haa." Emma finally laughed.

"I'm serious Emma, it's bigger, even more than Aillard's car!" audric said as he stretched his hand describing how big an animal he saw.

"Where did you see it?" ask Maxime.

"Line of the Sierra Mountains." replied Audric.

"I didn't know that a high IQ human like you could be eaten up by cheap rumors.. Thanks for the food, I have to go home soon.. See you tomorrow!" maxime says before leaving Audric and Emma.

Meanwhile, Emma just finished laughing, she looked at Audric who was still looking at Maxime's sturdy back that was getting further and further away.

Emma realized something that Audric was thinking, and soon she awakened Audric afterwards.

"Audric?"

"Huh?"

"What are you thinking?" ask Emma.

Audric looked towards Emma, while Emma felt Audric was making sure of something.

"Emma, are you an Un-Human?"
