[Other acquisitions]

Chloe looked at the Cafe in front of her for a moment, Noticing the crowded cafe situation seen from the outside. He slowly stepped into the cafe.

Krrie!

The sound of bells rang out when Chloe opened the door, The atmosphere of the cafe was still quiet. Only seen some cafe employees who are preparing tables and other eating utensils. Fortunately she was not late, with a casual step Chloe greeted Finni who was counting yesterday's income at the cashier's table.

"For Finni's sister," said Chloe past the cashier's desk.

Finni looked up for a moment and smiled. "For Chloe," Reply before resuming activities.

Chloe changed her clothes to a cafe uniform in the staff room, after wearing a uniform and tying her hair pony tail. He immediately headed for the front door and wiped the glass and wiped some tables.

They all get ready before opening a cafe for customers, everyone is busy with their respective work until they feel ready. Felix opened his cafe, now they just wait for the customers to arrive.

While waiting, Chloe wiped the plates and glasses carefully. He was too focused on his work to not realize the presence of Felix who had been out since when to stand beside him.

"Today you look more moody, or is it just my feelings?"

Felix's voice somewhat surprised Chloe, Fortunately it was not to make the plate in his hand slip.

"Ah yes, Felix's guess is not wrong. Today somehow I feel so tired and uninspired, Not as usual, Though I haven't done any heavy work, It makes me moody," Chloe complained with a heavy sigh.

Felix understood, and then looked at Chloe. "Let's check, sister,"

Chloe just nodded as Felix looked at her, She was silent somehow when Felix just kept quiet without saying another word afterwards.

As Felix walked around her with a fixed gaze as if he were surrounding the paris tower, Chloe suddenly remained silent like a statue.

"Your aura is black, it's kind of weird because I used to see bright colors in other human auras but why is your aura dark?" Felix asked in surprise when he arrived in front of Chloe back, He rubbed his chin looking thoughtful.

"Hi-Black? Am I currently being followed by a ghost or something?!" Chloe asked somewhat frantically, She turned her head around but found nothing but Felix who seemed to be laughing a little.

"Hahaha, no, no. There are no ghosts or anything around you. Your aura is only black, but it used to be white. I'm confused too,"

Felix stared for a moment at the cafe chair where the customers began to arrive, and then pulled Chloe from there.

"Let's go to my room, I want the two of us to speak with one eye,"

"All right," Chloe put the plate in her hand back to where it was before following Felix's steps.

******************

[Felix Room]

Blam it!

Felix put his pen on the table, he looked back at Chloe. "Have you been feeling tired lately?"

"Yes, every day. It wasn't like this,"

"When did you start feeling those symptoms?"

Chloe scratched her cheek with her index finger looking to think and remember. "Pulse...If it's not wrong since 2 weeks ago when I first saw the black shadow hand in the hospital,"

"Black shadow hand?" Beo Felix is confused.

"Yes, he came out of the glass in the hospital and crept up as if to reach my feet, Since then I feel tired quickly despite not doing strenuous activities,"

Hearing Chloe's story makes Felix frown even more. "Suddenly appearing for no apparent reason, Is it some kind of demonic monster or is it just a hallucination?"

"Did you do something before it happened that made the shadow come, Ritual for example?" Felix leaned his back against the wall.

Chloe recalled the events before the shadow appeared. "Pulse...Looks like there's...Oh yeah!"

Chloe remembers something and then she tells Felix all the details, starting with Justin who met her in a dream after Liam injured his family.

After Chloe told him everything, Felix smiled slightly. "So that's why you keep terrorizing the shadow of the hand, he's following you apparently,"

"Of course not!"

Felix approaches, leaving 10 steps between himself and Chloe. "If you tell me from the beginning, I can help. That thing won't hurt you anyway, he just wants to know who owns it and get orders from you,"

"Eh, I don't know. I think she's some kind of hideous demon, I can hardly sleep every night because I'm afraid she'll bother me in my dreams" Chloe grimaced.

"Now you don't have to worry, I'll neutralize your aura," Felix approached and held onto Chloe's shoulder. The gaze of the two met because it made the atmosphere around them suddenly awkward.

Rona faintly adorned Felix's cheeks, He turned his gaze as Chloe stared fixedly at him. Then a little thump.

"You look like you want to skin me, but we're not even fighting. You kept me out of focus" said Felix, still turning his eyes away.

Hearing that, Chloe woke up and nodded. "Hehehe, I'm sorry, brother. Then I'll just duck it,"

Chloe lowered her head as she said, Shifting her eyes to the floor.

"She's Justin's delivery, so you're automatically contracted with him. On condition that he takes your aura and energy as his food, that's what makes you feel tired quickly" Felix explained while focusing on getting rid of the black aura that enveloped Chloe.

"I'm so bad, I never used him for anything. But she took my energy at will," Chloe pouted and looked up. "But 'he' is who Brother Felix means?"

"He is a hellish devil, or it can be called the Underworld. Indeed, the average of these underworlds has conditions with the people who contract with them, the conditions also vary. For your case, these terms are still easy,"

"He just took your energy, try another underworld. Somehow your fate will be," Felix added gently.

Chloe stared at the horror. "What if another underworld I'll die?"

"Perhaps, some want life after the task is done, some want skin in exchange for their food, some want blood like vampires. It depends on the conditions they give,"

"Why did Justin give me such a thing anyway? Don't want this,"

Felix took a small breath. "You forgot Justin's words in your dream? He said he wanted you to be strong like the rest of the hostel. That desire comes from your own heart, so Justin gives a little boost to bring out your power,"

"Yes but...Not that I want to contract with devil! I don't want to, Brother Felix please take this contract off me. I don't want to have this kind of power" Chloe's eyes heated up, She wants to cry now.

The finished Felix neutralizes Chloe's aura and suddenly panics as Chloe suddenly settles on the floor with tears drenching her cheeks.

"Hiks..kak Felix, what should I do?" Chloe said with a trembling tone because of crying and hiccups.

Felix the rifleks join together to align his height with the girl, he holds Chloe's shoulder in a panic. "H-Hei Chloe, calm down, this thing is harmless, too,"

"Stay like a parasite...She took my energy and made me unable to do my usual activities," Racau Chloe was still crying, She covered her face with a palm.

"Duh, it's not that I don't want to help. But I really don't know how to get rid of him and the thing that sent this thing is Justin, so he's got to let go of the contract, too" Felix tried to calm Chloe down by rubbing the girl's back.

"Continue..hiks...I have to how?...We're divorced too, I can't go back to the dorm anymore. Mr. Ezra and Mr. Rea have definitely not accepted my presence in the dorm,"

Felix rubbed his neck in confusion, What Chloe said is true. Now access to meet Justin for outsiders is increasingly difficult because there is Ezra who is always ready to stand by his side and Rea who does not allow any girl to enter the dorm. Then Aiden who also always felt uncomfortable with the existence of outsiders.

"Let's think together, Now you calm down first" Pinta Felix softly. She rubbed Chloe's hair and won the girl over.

Chloe was still as hiccupping as her cries slowly began to subside. Felix climbed up and gave Chloe a box of tissue, Chloe rubbed her face with it. His expression was still gloomy, as before.

Felix certainly could not bear, he cupped the girl's cheek and looked at her closely. Chloe's eyes were automatically fixed only on Felix because the man cupped his cheeks together.

Chloe wanted to say something, but was undone because Felix silenced her with a soft kiss. Chloe was a little jolted, she had no intention of retaliating and was just gripping Felix's clothes.

Feeling almost out of oxygen, Chloe pushed the little guy's body, asking for time to fill his lungs. He breathes oxygen greedily.

"Sister Felix made a surprise to know," protested Chloe with a dead red face between embarrassment and annoyance.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry to have ended your expression so adorable, anyway" Felix chuckled and lightly ruffled Chloe's hair.

"Let's work again, we'll help the others" Felix climbed up and placed a tissue box on his desk. "Before that wash your face first,"

Chloe nodded and gave a small snort, She followed Felix out of the room to help the other baristas.
