Aria drew conclusions from all the events she had experienced. The incident about Ghouls, if they ate other races to survive. It makes sense, if Vio and Enn were that night, in the town of Roanes, wandering around in search of prey.
The incident regarding the game of gods, if the game can grant all wishes, as long as it can complete the quest. Perhaps, the Ghouls wanted to win this Event, to be able to find a way, so that they could live without eating other races.
"name Miss, who's dad?" ask Riff.
"oh~ sorry. My name is Aria." replied Aria with a smile.
Aria then looked towards Ayano, who was lying down. The healing process with Healing magic, it seems to have been completed. Ayano's head was being bandaged with gauze and given wound medicine, so that the blood on her head would not come out again.
"lucky well, Miss Aria, we just heard a loud bang, so we tried to go this way."
"thank you, Riff. Please call me, Aria!"
Bum~
(explosive sound from far away)
Aria and Riff suddenly looked towards the source of the sound. The sound of the explosion, whether it came from what? In Aria's mind, it seemed like the sound of the explosion came from a magic. If the explosion from the vehicle caught fire, it must have been accompanied by a puff of black smoke, not just fire.
"Riffs. He's been treated by us." said Manra.
"great. He's not a Ghoul anymore, is he?" ask Riff.
Manra shook her head. He showed her a serum that he had just used, to heal Ayano so that she would not turn into a Ghoul. The serum was empty, there was no liquid content in it.
"we have to get another serum. It could be a problem, if we get bitten by them" Manra said.
"where did you get it? The serum." asked Aria.
"we got it from a stranger. He suddenly appeared and offered a medicine." replied Manra.
"at that time. The six of us are helping civilians who are being attacked by some Ghouls" Riff added.
Riff explained again. When the six of them met at a crossroad, having been moved in the middle of the city, when the clock had already shown twelve o'clock. There was the sound of screaming from the people who were asking for help.
Those who heard the screams, decided to head to the location. In front of them. There were three people of Agantha, fighting with three Ghouls. Luckily, they were able to defend themselves using basic magic.
One of those three people. Some become Ghouls due to a bite from one of the Ghouls. He had to be killed, so as not to attack others.
"after the incident. A grandfather came and offered a cure, for the Ghoul's antidote" Riff said.
"but. The old man is so weird. He's asking for three monster Orbs instead of money" Manra added.
Monster orb. Aria had heard of this. Orb monsters obtained from defeating monsters so-called events. In the magic world, there are two monsters: the real monster and the fake monster.
Original monster. If they die, they will become a carcass. Usually their body parts, can be used to make something, such as drugs or made equipment.
Fake monsters. If they died, their bodies would vanish into dust. But they will leave behind a certain item. Many people call it an item.
"anytime again. We'll be there." cried Juan.
Juan told everyone in the back of the car. He pulled part of his body out of the window of the car, so that his voice could be heard all the way back.
"the real question. It starts soon." said Riff.
"we don't know. Until when this quest will take place. But if we meet again. Don't forget us. Missy... Em~" said Manra. Confused to continue the word.
"call Aria." answered Aria.
The name of Aria. Juan glanced at Aria. Looking in the eyes, the two of them met. It seems Juan has remembered, if he ever met Aria.
"it turns out you are." said Juan.
"humm." answered Aria. Cue.
Bruak~ Bruak~
(car hit several seats in front of the cafe)
Because Juan didn't get into the driving seat immediately. The car they were riding in was so good, it went up to the sidewalk and hit some cafe inventory. Those in the back of the car, reflexes holding something, to maintain balance.
Ander who was in the car, direct the steering wheel, so as not to hit something else. When the car was on the highway, Ander pulled out part of his body, like Juan. He hit Juan on the head, unwilling to get into the driving force.
"eh people. What the hell are you doing?" ask Ander.
"sorry. I'm breathing some air out." Juan said.
...****************...
The place mentioned by Ayano, on the market map, turned out to be in the city park. The rustling sound of lush trees, making the atmosphere of the park tonight, feels very comfortable.
The night wind blew, making a few swings twitch by themselves. But there is something that makes the current state of the park different, when Aria and the others, have already arrived at that place.
"there. A lot of people are gathering." said Manra.
In the middle of the park. There are some vehicles parked. Many also used items, such as weathered wooden boxes and junk items such as scrap metal are scattered. An item that would be impossible to put in a place like this.
"Juan. Are you sure this is the place?" ask Riff.
"right. I'm sure." replied Juan
Juan opened the map he was carrying. The location where the Handy Talkie is located is here. When Juan and Riff saw the map, the shopping cart symbol had already disappeared. Only Handy Talkie symbols remain.
"no I thought. We'll see each other again." Ander told Aria.
Aria did not answer Ander's words. Aria's confused. Does Ayano have to be taken to the middle of the park, with the other people? or was he left alone behind a car tub?
"i'll take care of Ayano. You just go with them. This event must be completed immediately." said Ander.
"alright" answered Aria. Simplest.
Ander is not as bad as her attitude, as Aria imagined. Aria thought, she would negatively think to him, if one of her friends Aria wanted to touch.
"when? Very long."
"he said three o'clock."
"had been sleepy."
(the words of some of the people who were there)
Srrt~ Srrt~
(the voice of Handy Talkie suddenly lit up)
"that's weird. Why are there only players?" said Riff.
"you're right. We met with some civilians" Manra added.
permisi~ and good night~
(people from Handy Talkie)
I would like to thank all of you who have been present. I as the messenger of the god want to convey something.
This event was held, to help beings of the Ghoul race, to be able to live a little more normally like the other races.
Your job is to find the Ghoul in disguise. He also infected the citizens to turn into Ghouls.
If for five days. This event was not completed. The Ghoul race will have a way to live like any other race.
Srrt~ Srrt~
(the rustling sound of Handy Talkie then dies)
Everyone is still confused. There are many questions for those who remain unanswered. The information provided is really minimal.
Especially Aria. He was curious too. Was the messenger god who had spoken in the Handy Talkie. The one who had been in the Red District, to deliver a revelation about the Event?
"alert everything! Something's going on." said someone.
The Handy Talkie is moving. The flesh of the Ghoul that wrapped it turned into a living being. It looks like a spider. His body was full of red flesh. His eyes were large and there was only one with sharp teeth.
Grrh~
(the voice of the creature when hissing)
Everyone is ready to attack. The weapons that each of them had, were issued just in case, if anything bad would happen.
"we'll meet tomorrow. In the early hours. I hope, you can complete the quest he gave." said the monster.
The monster jumped into the bonfire that was behind it. The bonfire was burning, as there were some wooden chunks inside that were burning.
Bum~
(the sound of a bonfire explosion in an iron barrel)
The bonfire, instantly exploded. The flash of his fire light made the people around him become lunar. Only a white light could Aria see and feel.
As the light slowly disappeared. Aria woke up from her sleep. His body is full of sweat. The clock on the wall showed at six in the morning. It was time for him to go to the Academy.
Aria held her hair to look at it. Her hair color is still white. As she was about to sleep, Aria remembered, she had already removed her twilight hair ribbon.
"astaga. Is that just a dream? But why does it feel so real?" aria.
He still remembered, the message delivered by the man from Handy Talkie in his dream last night. A task, to find the person who is disguised as a Ghoul. Because of that person as well, in the later city of Agantha, a Ghoul would appear.
Aria also remembered. The names of the people he had met, in his dreams. Riff, Ander, Juan and Manra. Two more people who were taking care of Ayano, Aria did not know. He forgot to ask, what are their names.
Tok~ Tok~ Tok~
(the sound of Aria's door knocking)
"Irene. Wake up! It's morning!" said Ms. Yana.
"yes Ma. Irene's up!" answer Irene.
Tok~ Tok~ Tok~
(the voice of the mother who was still knocking on the door)
Irene, who was still lying on the bed, tried to get up from her sleep. He pulled up the blanket that was covering part of his body, not forgetting to take off his hairband.
Outside the room door. His mother was still knocking on the door, Irene had said in a voice that sounded a little loud. It seemed like his voice earlier, was not heard by his mother.
"yes mother~ yes~" said Irene.
Yana's mother opened the door of her room directly, before Irene opened the door. Irene forgot, not locking the door to her room, by the time last night, she was too tired to do that.
Kritt~
(friction sound of door hinges when opened)
"Irene. Breakfast time! Do you want to go to school, son?!..hmm." said Ms. Yana. His words were suddenly cut off.
"yes Mother. Irene will have breakfast now." replied Irene.
Irene walked over to her mother. She wanted to head to the dining room, even though Irene was still wearing her nightgown.
"wait, Son. What did you do last night?" ask Yana's mother.
He stopped Irene, before exiting through the door of her room. Irene became confused, seeing her mother's behavior like that.
"what the hell? Ma'am. I want breakfast, just like Mom would. Why is it forbidden?" ask Irene. Backtrack.
Yana's mother pointed to Irene's chest. His eyes, telling Irene to see what was on her chest.
"your clothes!" mother Yana said.
Irene remembered the incident in her dream last night. His clothes were torn off by Ayano, when he was about to become a Ghoul. Irene's left chest became clearly visible, because some of her pajamas were torn.
"eh~ jeez!" irene.
"why did your pajamas get torn? Irene." asked Yana's mother.
"last night it was hot, Mom. Irene so blurred to the point of ripping off her shirt." replied Irene. Lies.
Her pyjamas were torn off, just like Irene had in a dream, when she disguised herself as Aria. But why is it that only his pajamas are carried away, when he is awake? Irene was still wondering in her mind, why didn't Ayano's jacket get carried away as well?
