Beautiful Monster
Match

"COME, EVERYONE! COMEHERE! I'LL TELL YOU AN INTERESTING STORY! WE ARE WITNESSES AND PROOFS!" shouted a man with some injuries like the claw marks of a savage beast.

Besides him, there was another man who was asking for money to the crowd there who came to listen to the interesting story that the men were selling.

Jo comes up close to the crowd. He was wearing a black robe that covered his face. Jo intends to listen to the stories of the men ahead who are still begging for money and yelling to call other visitors in the market.

"Hurry tell! What's going on?" insist on one of them.

"A few days ago we went to the forest to hunt. At that time, my friends and I were confronted by a human. He attacked us brutally to the point of wounding us. You see, right?" obviously the man while showing some injuries on his body.

"He can jump high and run so fast. Y'all know? his hands clawed and his teeth fanged. He's so scary! He is a monster that can transform into a human being and can attack you to death. He threatened all humans. You guys have to be careful!"

Everyone who was there started whispering anxiously, afraid that the creature the man was talking about had come to the city or village.

Suddenly Jo walks through the crowd. He threw a bag of money in front of the man casually, leaving the people there astonished.

"Does he have blue eyes?" ask Jo.

"You're right! His eye... He has blue eyes. I could feel those eyes that posed a death threat every time I saw them. There was a look of resentment and hate implied in those blue eyes" he said with a horrified expression.

Satisfied with his answer, Jo leaves. He whistled as if calling something. It turned out that a black dog with a slight brownish color ran up to him.

Jo leaned over, pointing a 60 cm long black bird feather at the dog's nose to breathe in again.

"It looks like we're getting closer to him, Arai."

Woof! Woof!

The dog barked and ran after getting a smell from the fur. Jo follows him quietly until he stops in front of a house in the woods.

Arai, a black dog with a sharp smell that approached the door even clawed it as if he was telling that what Jo was looking for was in there.

Jo broke down the door with one leg. The strength of his body was able to make the door open and even loose so that now the house can be entered.

"Ah, looks like they're gone," Jo murmured while walking around looking around.

Arai walked through the room with his kiss until he came back out and barked when the kisser stopped at one point.

"What's up?" jo asked crouched down rubbing Arai's back who continued to bark while pointing up.

Jo followed the dog's gaze, staring at the clear sky until the corner of his lips lifted up.

"Can't he fly?" jo then observes a black feather from Yujiro's wing that fell down and Koyo picks it up before he leaves.

Meanwhile, Yujiro landed his feet in a vast meadow. He lowered Miho and shrank the wings until they disappeared.

"Come here. I want to take you for a walk here," asked Miho who held Yujiro's hand.

Miho takes Yujiro to a vast meadow and lots of flowers that he had come with Rin when he wanted to meet in secret with Yosuke.

Yujiro immediately caught the hand of Miho who was about to pluck the flower.

"Can't I take him?" ask Miho so Yujiro replies with a nod.

But that didn't make Miho angry. He smiled widely and pulled Yujiro's hand so they could go back for a walk.

...****************...

Miho opened her two eyes which were immediately greeted with a star-studded night sky as well as a forward looking Yujiro face which could be seen from below.

"You know? We have to be careful with the flowers" Miho said, making Yujiro look down at Miho's face lying on her thighs.

They were enjoying the day in the vast meadow, until Miho finally fell asleep until night. Yujiro had no intention of waking up and chose to enjoy the sight before him as Miho slept on his thighs.

"Papa's friends told me that they had a disaster after picking red higanbana flowers growing on the cave walls. Some people believe that the flower is a symbol of death and they stepped on it until the cave shook. I didn't believe the myth about the flower, but secretly my heart was worried and slowly believed that something unusual could be a threat" she explained.

"I don't want you to think of yourself as anything unusual or a threat to me, Yujiro. Like you said, to me you are human. So, no matter what happens, stay with Ushioda Yujiro. Use this advantage of yours to the best of your ability," added Miho with one hand extended upwards reaching the side of the man's face.

Yujiro was speechless thinking about the higanbana flower that Miho mentioned earlier. But the little glint in his mind was not a red higanbana, but a blue higanbana.

"You why?" miho asked so worriedly when she saw Yujiro frowning while holding her head.

"Are you sick?" Miho woke up, observing Yujiro's state so closely.

"Ushiodes... Yujiro," erang Yujiro held his head.

"What's going on?" miho asked puzzledly as she saw Yujiro groaning in pain in her head.

Miho immediately pulled the man's head to hug him and was given a gentle elusan which slowly made Yujiro calm. They were silent in that position for a few moments with the silence of the night blanketing.

"Miho," call Yujiro making Miho loosen the hug on Yujiro's head.

"Yes? You called me again."

Yujiro looked at the radiant face of the girl in front of him. Slowly, Yujiro sees Naho's figure in Miho. Every treatment, care, protection, and affection that Miho gave Yujiro kept thinking of Naho.

Humans are not bad.

Although weak in heart, Yujiro did not deny that everything he felt at this moment was so amazing. Yujiro thought being human would make him cruel as he used to see when he was an animal and a plant.

But apparently, the human side that has love softens that thought. Humans like Naho, Miho, and Toru must live in the world.

"Miho," he called again as if he wasn't bored. "Kuratae... Miho's."

"Yujiro," Miho muttered in amazement at hearing the man continue to say his name.

Overjoyed, Miho leapt to hug Yujiro until the bodies of the two of them lay. Miho laughed happily then looked at the star-studded night sky with Yujiro there quietly.
