"Of course you can, what price do you want to pay?."
"Price?."
"What price should I pay for it?."
"Kekeke, plain boy. Like your father, pay with his lifetime, or like your mother ...."
"Mother? What did you use as payment?."
"The destiny of his life."
Yumei's body froze.
"Wait." He watched Yumei once again. "Sadly, what a pity. Your life is not yours, your age and life are not yours. Ah~ , I understand now, Maelys did that for you."
"Forku? Tell me, what mom did."
"That's not good. He kept it a secret, I'm not going to say hehe."
"You, what pay, tell me."
"Why, want to force?." the figure laughed ignorantly.
"Say. Tell me."
That figure moved his body involuntarily.
"I know what you're asking."
Yumei.
Then, as if he was afraid of being heard by something, he lowered his voice and asked, "You ... has anyone experienced anything like that?"
The figure did not admit or deny, but simply nodded.
His voice suddenly became slower.
The figure shuddered when he heard those words, but finally nodded, and then said for a long time: "That's .. was the first year I saw vampires coming here."
"But that day, I did not find the answer key to his request."
"I just came here at the time" said the figure, "I just heard this statement from him, but I don't know why. I was curious to ask Mae."
"But all of that can't be stopped, can it?." asked Yumei, "Anyway, the plot has to go forward."
"Yes," the figure of the woman sighed, she turned her face and looked into the empty space, as if she did not want others to see her eyes.
"Your mother is very strong, the desire to protect her loved ones is very deep, you are lucky."
"Mrs ...."
"This light belongs to him is a light that resists the kind of black that you cannot see your fingers. It has no brilliance, and does not blend in with the night around it. Feels like...It devours the night."
"Light swallows the night?."
"Can you understand that feeling?" ask the woman.
"Hoo——"
After a long time, the woman seemed to struggle from her memory, she nodded, her lips unnaturally clenched.
Speaking of this, the woman's face suddenly changed in the next second.
"It looks like if it really happened." After a while, the woman nodded, "Yes, the two keys were open, like someone deliberately put them there."
"Nine plagues and one peace."
Yumei who was always silent, suddenly said, "What did you find?"
"I...I don't know," the figure of the woman shook her head. "Until now, I don't know what's going on. Anyway, I don't think that's true. That voice....."
"A sound?What ... what sound?"
The figure of the woman shook her head, "I don't know, I don't see anyone."
"Maybe your fear is the root" he comforted. "The scene at that moment and the strange atmosphere created will amplify the anxiety in your heart."
"Imust be!" The woman suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with fiery red eyes,"I saw the figure of Mae being injured by the sound, her blood was flowing, but ... But Mae's standing there ...."
Yumei was stunned for a few seconds, and then there was a chill on her back.
