Ash-boss
A Thousand Faces: Lara is not Laras!

"So your name is Lara?" ask Mari with an enthusiastic smile. The face was no longer covered in long bangs. Now the bangs have been cut according to his eyebrows just like the figure of the girl he just greeted.

"Hmm." replied the girl named Lara while nodding lightly. The new neighbor who moved into the room next to Mari.

"I'm Mari. Boyfriend of the guy who helped you this morning." That smile seemed so sweet and flowery imagining how good the young man Mari admitted that boyfriend was.

"Oh." respond Lara casually. Let's not huddle anymore. He further developed his smile for a moment then had a super calm face by passing Lara just like that.

The girl named Lara was silent for a moment. He turned towards behind her. Intending to buy some other paraphernalia, his gaze immediately met the young man who this morning helped him open his room.

I don't know what Mary did when she saw the young man, Lara just kept staring while walking casually towards the stairs.

Passing through the young man and Mary, Lara's steps came to a halt when she saw a figure in black clothes with a glowing death aura climbing the stairs.

"Hey! You can wait I don't!" his yell.

The character who initially looked down then raised his face and was immediately shocked to see the figure of the girl he met this morning in the apartment next to him. Intending to say hello, Aksara suddenly just focused on following the direction of the girl named Lara's movement.

"Gue got business!"

The characters made a loud sound while waving as Arashi looked at him with a suspicious look.

"Gue is back again!" answer Arashi.

"Can I come?" asked Mary who did not give up the slightest bit of attention from Arashi.

"Can!" answer Arashi casually.

15 Minutes after their conversation on the stairs, the four of them were already sitting casually in the visitor seats available in front of the department store where Lara bought some of the necessary supplies.

"So, you just moved here because of the distance from campus and your workplace is closer!" Aksara tries to conclude the conversation that began from the convenience store until their current position.

"Hmm.." replied Lara again while nodding.

"The cost is a lot!" comment Aksara again while paying attention.

"To fill the refrigerator!" arashi answered while throwing his gaze in the other direction.

"So you like stock food huh?" mari said enthusiastically heard the comments given by Arashi.

"Hmmm..."

Again.

Lara simply replied with a small nod.

"Nwg... You don't know each other yet!" mari said after the silence for some time that is quite awkward in the eyes of ordinary people.

"She's Lara." said Mary introduced Lara to two young men who now both only focus on looking at the girl in front of her.

"Lara, this is Eren. Then you?" Mary only realized she had not known the name of the young man sitting next to her.

"Aksara!" she hands Lara an introductory sign.

"Greetings!" answer Lara.

Without saying his name, Arashi stretched out his hand just like that.

Directly replying to the hand, Lara shook Arashi's hand without saying anything.

There was a long pause from the handshake. It again makes Mary feel uncomfortable and then pull Arashi's hand for her help.

"Sorry!" said Mary pull that hand. "My stomach hurts!" he then held her stomach.

Looking at Mary's face, Arashi immediately pulled that hand. Enter the department store and come bring a glass of warm water for Mary to drink.

"Drink first!"

"Together!" replied Arashi who had been reluctant from the beginning to release his gaze from Lara's figure. The figure of the girl who was now staring in front of him with focused eyes. Sometimes Lara sips a drink that she buys to just sit back and relax with three obscure creatures that she is watching.

"Why?" suddenly boldly looked into Arashi's eyes. Eyes that are fixed on his figure.

"No." answered Arashi. But the two of them were still staring at each other for a long time. Between the time lags, something flowed between the four of them. Only after seeing a flash of shadow that flashed, the figure of the girl named Lara smiled knots then moved from that place while saying goodbye.

"Wait!" Arashi immediately prevented Lara's move. Staring at the girl for a moment then giving her a path as soon as Lara looked back at her.

"Not him?" ask Aksara. "When the face is similar." added Aksara again.

"He.." replied Arashi who immediately appeared another figure Eren as the highest judge of the valley of death.

The thing Eren did instantly made Aksara aghast in shock. Especially when the smile of Mari figure appears right behind the figure of Eren.

"You want to come back?"

"Looks yeah!" answer Aksara. A second later he replied "No." as soon as Arashi stepped in the opposite direction from the direction of the road to the apartment building where they lived.

Looking at Arashi and Aksara's departure with a look of dislike, Mari kept silent for a moment before she turned around and followed Lara's footsteps to return to her apartment building.

"They look alike!" aksara follows Arashi's steps. In terms of following without regard to his steps, Arashi had already returned to his form as Eren the damned guardian of the valley. The other side of the valley is named after the gray valley.

"I have to make sure who he really is!" eren muttered stopping his steps. Making Aksara reflexively move her body in front of Eren.

"Basic fool!" eren said while staring at Aksara lazily. Finished the sentence came out, Aksara immediately plunged into the abyss below his feet.

"Damn!" aspirah Aksara realized the meaning of Eren's words. A split second count, Aksara spread its wings wide. Throwing the air so strongly and then pushing up his body to teach Eren a lesson again.

As soon as the two gazes met, Aksara directly flashed his attack. Throw feathers on its wings that resemble knife daggers. The incision received can directly crush the entire body if the feathers hit the target and stick on the target body.

Recognizing how Aksara attacks, Eren does not necessarily avoid. He let all the black feathers as sharp as the blade dagger close in on him. With a distance of 1 cm in front of his eyes, Eren immediately issued his blue flame protection. Scorch all the feathers until they become ashes.

"Rise!" aksara said while hovering a few meters above Eren's figure as the highest guard.

One look at Eren pointed at Aksara. Making a flash suddenly envelop his surroundings. That unexpected attack was able to withstand the footsteps of Aksara. But the smile signifies Aksara is in his position to avenge the attack.

"I'm not the one who doesn't learn from the old mistakes!" aksara said reversing Eren's attack.

Eren smiled back. Receiving an attack from Aksara, Eren again let out the same flash of blue flames.

"When do you want to mess around?" eren.

"Until you're willing to tell me about the mistake we made next!!"

Eren smiled back. Kelu smile. Given how stupid he was at that point. Repeating every detail of the incident.

"The rest of it, only he knows it." said Eren then retaliated against Aksara with full force. "I won't budge until I can learn the truth from him!!"

"I will continue to insist because half of it is also part of my responsibility!"

The fight was inevitable. The empty valley where they had spent time training when they had created the valley realm together, this time they made it a battle area to re-train themselves and remember every detail of their erased memories.

"I almost forgot all this!" aksara.

"You always forget the precious things!" eren's reply to the attack that Aksara launched.

A battle that was quite time consuming but felt like such a relief for both of them.

"You have to tell me!" Aksara smiled knots while holding back the attack in the form of a black dagger as sharp as a knife directed right in the heart of Eren which signified victory for him over the fight that occurred.

"Should it?!" Eren stared confidently.
