Jade & Latte
Unrest
After listening to Robert's explanation, Jade and River were able to deduce that this shadow monster was still Adolescente-class. Mr. Robert mentions the creature's height as more than five feet, and he cannot pronounce human language. Basically, the types of adolescente do have such traits. However, the witches could see the aura left over from the fiend's victims. Jade looked at the rest of the aura left on master Robert's body. The aura was olive green, floating like a smoke of a extinguished bonfire.
Jade tells River, if the opponent is only Adolescente class, enough River just went to eradicate it. But River refused, what kind of fiendnya they have to be professional to eradicate it together, as an agency.
At midnight, the atmosphere of silence was accompanied by the singing of insects that sounded in every corner of the room. Occasionally, the sound of the clockwork clanking while being dabbed by the splash of wood burned by the fireplace in the middle room. Jade and River rested in the first-floor room right next to the main hall.
Jade was already fast asleep, while River, he was still thinking of something. The Fiend can pass through the portal of darkness created by one of the accumulated sins of man. That is, there is someone or a handful of people who make the creation of the portal of darkness. The question is not who but what, one of the seven sins that led to the creation of the portal.
River could not sleep, he decided to seek the night air outside. Slowly he got up from his bed. The per sound that is suppressed by the weight of the body cannot be silenced. No problem, after all Jade would not wake up just because of such a small sound. In fact, he dared to guarantee that if in their room there were cats fighting, Jade would still be sound in her sleep.
He stepped towards the living room, while looking at the embers slowly becoming charcoal in the fireplace. He saw some photos on display in a large wooden cabinet. Nothing special, just a collection of family galleries. He stepped to the other side.
There is a large oil painting attached to the side wall. Inside the painting are three people standing formally. Two men wore very neat suits, and a woman dressed in an aqua blue dress. River recognized the person in the middle of the painting, the figure was none other than Geld's client this time.
It looks a little different, in the painting, Mr. Geld looks younger. It is estimated to be about 10 years younger. The other two figures, River assumed to be the parents of Lord Geld. River stared for quite a long time at the huge painting. Not out of awe of the beauty of mixing very beautiful analogous colors, or perfect proportions in their anatomy. But an image in the form of a symbol was painted on the right collar of the father. The sun-shaped symbol is split, with the other side replaced by the head of a snake, Jormungandr.
"God is impossible, how could that symbol be there? Don't-don't they have anything to do with..."
Suddenly River's head felt heavy and dizzy, all becoming faint.
"Akhs...Why does my head keep beating"
DAKK! a stick landed on the nape of his neck.
"Who-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-you." those were the last words he/she spoke in a semi-conscious state.
Instantly, his body was dazed and everything went dark.
The violent blow struck at the nape of River's back left him unconscious. The figure pressed a lever near the closet. Then suddenly the floor under the large painting shifted in a symmetrical direction. Behind the floor, there was a dark hallway leading into the basement. The figure dragged the body of the river into the secret door that had just appeared.
The next day…
A big, tall man in a neat suit knocked on Jade's bedroom door.
“Mr Geld is already waiting in the dining room, please immediately get ready for breakfast” Without using a different sentence the man he knocked on the door of Jade's room while saying the same.
As usual, getting up early was something Jade couldn't possibly do. When he was at the base River needed water to wake him up. Especially now, a comfortable bed, a soft pillow, coupled with a warm blanket. It was impossible for Jade to escape from her dream world.
After about 10 minutes of no reply from Jade, the big man was forced into Jade's room. Standing straight beside Jade's skinny body. The big man raised his voice again to wake Jade up. There was a slight reaction, Jade stretched her hand, then re-embraced the soft roll, her eyes slightly opened, yet closed again. Of course he realized there was someone beside him. But that sense of comfort was too strong to keep her tied up in her beautiful sleep.
The big man started to get irritated, the order given by master Geld on him was absolute. He had never disappointed Mr. Geld before, all the orders he received he always carried out well and perfectly. But this time, just to wake up his guest, the difficulty was already half dead.
Because Jade was so difficult to wake up, the big man was forced to resort to a slightly rude manner. He took off one of his gloves.
“I'm sorry Mr. Jade for interrupting your deep sleep, but the order Mr. Geld gave me was to wake you up, Alinea #2 EAU”
The big man turned his palm over the head of Jade. Like a water tap, from the palm of the big man came out a number of water that poured out, falling right towards Jade's face. Water that flowed quite profusely soaked the entire bed that was around Jade.
“WOYY LATTEE!….. I TOLD YOU NOT TO USE AI-R..” Jade was surprised by the figure who woke him, his life was still half recovered. He looked in all directions. His brain is trying to digest where it is now.
“Ah I just remembered..” Jade looked back at the direction of the other bed, looking for the figure that should now be sleeping there.
“Where is he? Has he started exterminating?”
“Sorry, did you ask Mr River? He had already left the mansion in the blind morning earlier”
“hah? Gone off? What business is he going to do?” Jade asked himself, remembering River's words to Eliza, if Eliza needed help from River she would contact him. And for now, that's the most plausible reason River left.
