Hero From The Dark Dimension
Chapter 53: Genting
The crowd of the city of Tideo is getting boisterous, this holiday is becoming more colorful with a variety of smiles scattered to color the feel of peace.
There are so many things to do on this special day, many mothers play in the peach garden with their children and it is seen that teenagers are busy shopping together with their friends.
In the midst of the current state of the city, no one realized that a black shadow seemed to move from one building to another very quickly.
Meanwhile, in the large mall area in the middle of the city...
Serius and Deri seemed fun to enjoy the holidays, they joined hands while carrying some of the groceries they just bought at the mall a few moments ago...
"Finally I can buy new makeup, all the makeup I have is completely exhausted" said Serius.
"What about you?"
Seirus asked Deri who was with him.
"I just bought some clothes that I found interesting, about the makeup I bought last night," replied Deri.
"I'm gonna teach you how to be a real woman, okay?" seriously said with his sweet mouth, he blinked one eye.
"Yes.., yeah."
They both enjoyed their leisure time very much, this became an opportunity for Seirus to explore new things in his city.
"See there! there's a new menu at Moon Shine's restaurant, we should try."
Seirus immediately went and pulled Deri's hand.
"Hey slow down."
The two of them went to the restaurant meant by Serius, the new menu in the restaurant immediately became the target of the two of them. The menu in the form of beef bull shark roast carbonara directly they order without thinking long.
The menu they ordered instantly came within minutes, with all their heart enjoying it.
"Well.., good."
Seirus was very impressed with the delicacy of the food he ate.
"As long as we are busy, it seems that many new things have sprung up. The whole town is amazing" said Deri and he ate a piece of shark meat.
"What new things can we find?" asked Seirus with a big smile.
Deri who was listening to him also smiled.
"Let's find out" replied Deri.
The nuances of togetherness are so felt in every second they spend together, after being satisfied to enjoy a new menu, they both continue to look for fun things they can find.
They went to the peach garden and bought peach sweets there, and they sat together on a park bench not far from them.
They also chatted casually, telling funny experiences that they had experienced and sharing sad stories with each other. They both laughed together.
"You've really ruined the television in shock?" seirus asked, holding back his laughter.
"It wasn't my fault, I was innocent and I didn't know that the show I was watching on television at the time was a horror movie, so I thought there was an evil creature that got into the TV and it gave me a reflex that I threw my TV with a pair of wooden sandals" said Deri.
Seirus laughed off hearing the silliness of Deri as a child.
"I've expected your reaction to be like that" Deri's face slightly reddened.
"Oh.., my stomach hurts, you really make me spin."
Their joy lasted long enough, until Deri realized the presence of a shadow that moved quickly over the buildings.
"What's that?" asked Deri while pointing towards the shadow.
Reflexively Seirus turned to the direction pointed by Deri, he also found the presence of the black shadow.
"Don't monsters? we'd better check it out right away" Seirus said.
Deri nodded in understanding, they left their groceries to a nearby daycare and immediately approached the black shadow.
Seirus mastered teleportation so they could get to the location they were headed to.
"That's it" said Deri, pointing to a black shadow whose movement stopped on the roof of a clothing store.
The two of them went up to the roof with Seirus's teleportation ice magic and immediately approached the black figure that was supposedly the shadow they had just seen.
How surprised they were to know that...
"P.., mr. director," said Deri.
The black figure felt called when he mentioned the name of the director.
"You two, what are you doing here?"
That black figure was Raven.
"So the shadow we saw was father?" ask Deri.
"Yes.., it seems that you guys are quite shocked, it's only natural that I never showed you this ability of mine," Raven replied as she scratched her non-itchy head.
"I know there are a lot of things you want to ask me after seeing my quick movements, but this is not the time for that, right now I really need help" Raven explained.
"What help sir?" ask Deri.
Raven took a deep breath.
"Can you help me to meet Mara?"
...*********...
On the other hand, in a restaurant near the beach.
Carol invites her best friend to calm down there.
"I thought you were going to take me where, apparently here," said Mara.
"You remember? this is where we first met, when I was still struggling on the lonely road with no friends until you came," said Carol, she reminisced.
Considering she used to be just a little girl who fought alone, she was a mixed blood of the Hunt nobles and the natives, this made her receive a plunge from the Hunt who was pure noble blood.
She struggled alone without any friends, only her parents were very supportive. One day when he lost a fight against a fellow Hunt, for the first time there were people willing to lend a hand to him.
The child Carol bathed in dust and sand due to the impact of the fight looked directly at the person who was trying to help her, the figure of the child in two pigtails smiled at her while extending her tiny hand.
"You okay?"
The little girl who helped him at that time was the sister of Queen Hunt, Mara.
That moment never forgets where he first made a friend.
"You know? every time I remember that, it feels like I woke up from a dream and when I woke up it turned out to be real" Carol said.
Mara doesn't understand.
"When I was a child, I thought that I wouldn't be able to have friends, which is why as a child I struggled alone to be the best...,"
Carol stopped her words for a moment.
"All the burdens and problems I try to solve in my own way, but the solutions I do not get. Every day was so hard that you reached out to me in the end" Carol explained.
"If it's not wrong, we were 12, right?" ask Mara.
Carol replied with a nod.
"Right, when I was in a lot of trouble with the other Hunt and all that trouble made me despair to the point that I felt like getting out of Hunt, lucky I was able to meet you before despair swallowed me. "
Mara's clean white hands were tightly grasped by Carol, which left her a little shocked. Carol's eyes looked serious.
"Mara, no matter what kind of trouble you face, I won't let you bear it myself, this is my reward for every service you've given me first," carol's expression made Mara speechless.
Amidst such nuances, a waiter came to ask the menu they wanted to order, there they ordered a medium-sized fruit salad and the drink they ordered was also the same, namely yogurt.
After the order came, they also enjoyed fruit salad while having a small conversation until Carol finally asked the question that she had been waiting for.
"So how did you cheat in NGB last year?" ask Carol.
Mara hesitated a little to answer, and in the end she answered.
"My brother and I have an ability called bond synchronization, this ability allows the two of us to communicate through telepathy and send energy to each other" he replied.
"Synchronization? I never knew the Queen and you had such an ability."
"That's because we kept this a secret from others including fellow Hunt, who knew it was just me, my brother and then you."
For a moment Carol took a sip of her yogurt.
"I'll keep this a secret" Carol said.
Mara continued her explanation.
"This ability can also know each other's condition, if my brother is being hurt then I will immediately know the opposite....,"
"...... At the time of NGB, brother gave me energy during the course of the fight, it made the magic energy in my body continue to increase and not decrease at all, with the cheating way that I managed to win," explained Mara, paras was so stained with shame when he explained it.
Now Carol understands the pattern of cheating done by Mara, that's what makes Mara lead the fight in the NGB at that time, it was only fitting that Mara was so confident despite already knowing that her opponent was one of the best female knights of the Seis noble.
"So apparently, why did you do that? as far as I'm concerned you've been very strong even without the Queen's help" Carol asked.
"I...., it's because I'm afraid of losing," Mara replied while enduring the embarrassment.
"Huh? are you afraid of losing? it's not like you."
Carol did not expect Mara to answer like that, even though Mara herself was a top-tier magician who had high competitiveness but why could she be afraid of losing?
"I've seen the ability of my opponent named Irana, she's too strong for me to fight, about 2 weeks before NGB I saw him beat 3 Pyroberus (Fire dog monster) by himself and it proved that he was stronger than me" Mara explained.
"Whatever I am, I cannot defeat 3 giant monsters that have resistance to top-tier magic, that is what scares me to lose" he continued.
Mara's hands started shaking.
"By cheating, I defeated him and brutally injured him for being too ambitious to be the best no matter what and now receiving his reply, my heart was gnawed at the guilt that was pressing on me even more," mara is full of guilt.
That feeling is what makes him different lately, he rarely practices, always alone and has trouble sleeping. The longer this goes on then I have a bad impact on myself.
While Caroline was disappointed after hearing the whole explanation, she could not bear to see Mara depressed like this.
"I'm honestly disappointed to learn this, but I can't possibly let my best friend down, I'll try my hardest to help you" Caroline said.
"Thank you, Carol."
Mara's mood began to improve, but she felt something inside her, as if it was a warning to her.
The deg!
Mara's heart beat fast.
"This feeling, is your brother hurting anyone?"
The synchronization of the bonds in his body gives a warning that someone connected to him is experiencing pain.
Soon he contacted his brother via telepathy to find out the condition of the brother.
"Sister, can you hear me?"
Mara was waiting for a response from her sister.
"Yes, I hear you, what's wrong? why do you sound like a panicked person?" ask Queen Oriery over telepathy.
"Now where are you and what are you doing? did you hurt someone?" ask Mara in a hurry.
"Let my brother rest, I'm taking care of the complete files of the magic facility at the Casteral Library and here I'm accompanied by Arnoldi and Holmus, only a madman would dare to hurt the noble Queen Hunt who was famous for her magical prowess," the Queen replied confidently.
Mara can sigh in relief after knowing her brother is fine.
"You haven't answered my question, why are you panicking so?" ask Queen.
"Suddenly my synchronization gave me a warning, so I immediately contacted my sister" Mara replied.
"really? but here I'm fine, maybe it's just your feelings."
"That's it, sorry to interrupt your busy life."
"I have to get back to work, I'll see you when I'm done."
The queen cut off her telepathic contact.
"Mara, what's wrong?" asked Carol who was astonished to see Mara who began to flood with sweat.
"T.., t...., it's okay, I just misunderstood, I thought that sister was being attacked by someone," Mara replied as she wiped the sweat on her forehead.
The deg!
Synchronization returns a warning.
"What the fuck? why does my synchronization keep giving me warnings, when you're okay, what's going on?"
Mara was very confused, she did not know why synchronization continuously gave a warning. He did not understand at all, after a while there was a conjecture that appeared in his mind.
"Don't anyone else connect with my synchronization, but who?"
Seriate....
