Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E25] Back

"Change is just a metaphor by which you will realize that the present and the previous are different."

*****************#####*****************

After that, everything changed. The twilight who was completely unconcerned about it decided to immediately leave the Duke's residence. He was tired of everything there, especially with the problem of the basement in the Empress's residence.

The room was very strange coupled with all the contents that made no sense at all. Whether for what purpose the basement was built, but one thing is certain, Dusk was not like it.

In addition to the strange feeling he got, he also accidentally met a strange monster who said senseless things to him.

In order to relieve stress due to interference from various parties, Dusk finally chose to leave the Duke's residence and go to the Forest of Darkness.

"Welcome Miss," exclaimed Dian as the teleportation beam had already disappeared from before her and was replaced by the figure of Dusk.

Dusk nodded his head briefly before entering the old house. The house where Muna used to practice swords here and the place where her mother always spent time there.

"Lumayan," said Dusk when looking at the entire area that has been neatly arranged by Dian. The area will later be used by Dusk to train with his new teacher.

"Miss please sit."

Dian came along with a cup of warm tea and some dry snacks in her hands. He then put it all on the table before returning to the field to complete the rest of his task.

Dusk then sat down while watching Dian who was at work. He then casually ate the snacks provided by Dian one by one.

Moments later, Ristia appeared before Dusk with a letter paper on her tail. The paper looked worn with many rough wrinkles on each side.

Dusk who saw the letter immediately extended his hand to Ristia and took the letter. Ristia who was completely unconcerned with her lady's reaction immediately wrapped her tiny body into the wrist of Dusk at that very instant.

"Damn," maki Dusk with a hand that tightly clenched the letter.

Without realizing it, a small fire began to emerge from his palm and burned the entire letter. Dian who saw the bad mood of her Miss, chose to remain silent and continue her activities.

Dian knew that under such circumstances, silence was the best option. Because, if he tries to interfere into his missus' problems then it is certain that his age will decrease quickly.

Dian who was pretending not to know with the situation of Dusk, then heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the bright white light that enveloped the area. The white light indicates that Dusk is teleporting right now.

"I don't know what's going on, but I feel sorry for you guys who dared to fight Miss. Although he looks weak and fragile, but the truth is...."

Dian stopped her words with a heavy long breath. His face was indifferent when he said that. He looks sorry but doesn't care either.

Dian then resumed her work calmly. Honestly, he felt a little grateful to them for making his lady leave this place. Because if the lady is still here, she might just keep holding her breath.

"Why so long!" snapping a voice with a thick tone of hate.

"Have I not warned you before?" continue the voice violently. He seemed impatient about something, but no one knew what it was.

"I'm sorry Miss, this is a mistake...."

"It was your fault!" the voice cut back the words of the little girl who stood trembling in the corner of the room.

"I've warned you Kira, don't let my patience run out for all your trashy excuses."

"Non.., this lady is not yet your time to come out. There will be times when you and others will enjoy all of this. But..."

Kira tries to give a logical reason for her, but that is not enough to ease her emotions.

"If you can't keep your promise, then you'll be the medium."

The sound made Kira unable to breathe, he pressed the air around him hard so that the oxygen there disappeared quickly.

Kira who could not hold herself back started to fall like an idolatrous person. He swayed violently and searched for fresh air to breathe but no matter how hard he searched, he found nothing.

It felt so crowded that Kira looked like a jackfruit caterpillar who was dancing. He was not even aware if his skin started to pale and peel quickly.

The sound echoed loudly making Kira's fear even greater. He painstakingly tried to get up but his efforts failed because the intense pressure still imprisoned him.

"I'm waiting for who else you're going to bring this time," the voice shrieked with the tip of his tongue that was sweeping his lips. He licked his lips mischievously before disappearing from the darkness of the room.

"Huh..., Huh..., Huh...!"

Kira was finally able to breathe with relief, yet it did not make her face look good. He became even more nervous with cold sweat drenching his entire body.

"I should be able to find a body that suits her," Kira's inner self while fixing her clothes. He looked back into the darkness before leaving the room.

"Miss," called Kira's personal servant while handing over the tray filled with fresh orange juice. Kira without hesitation took the water and drank it. The sweet and fresh taste of the orange managed to make Kira's throat better than before.

"Miss, Miss Dusk has returned," whispered the maid right in Kira's ear. He then smiled warmly as his lady looked at him with a face of disbelief.

"I saw his chariot entering the Academy area."

The waiter then told him what he had just seen. His face was very excited when he told all of these things. He didn't even go through a single thing when he told him what he had just seen.

Kira started to smile, her lips rising 180° higher than before. He looked excited and with confidence, Kira stood up from her seat.

"Good job."

Kira complimented her personal servant's work before leaving her room. He looks very happy with a sly smile that now replaces his happy smile.

"Now I have what you want, and I guarantee you will love it very much" Kira said, thinking of the satisfied smile of the figure she called the lady.

"What's Dusk?" ask Maya who feels strange about the current behavior of Dusk.

"Nothing, it's just..."

Dusk stopped his words while touching his back which felt extremely cold. He felt as if a storm was going to hit him sooner or later.

"Is your back hurting?" ask Zakila while touching the back of Dusk.

"No, it's just that it feels really cold."

"Oh my goodness, that must be a sign that you're about to get a fever."

Zakila looked panicked, she then pulled the wrist of Dusk and was about to take him away.

"Senja doesn't hurt, can't you see her face is fine. Maybe it's just the feeling," cried Maya who managed to stop her sister's footsteps.

"That's right, maybe this is due to the effect of the long journey," replied Dusk while releasing his wrist from Zakila.

"Huh," Zakila grumbled. He then removed his grip from Dusk before stepping off towards Luna.

"Based on the little boy" cried Maya who followed Zakila from behind.

"Hmm...!!?"

Twilight felt strange with her a moment ago. It was not a feeling of some sort of annoyance or anything, but rather a feeling of fear of something big.

"Any," said Dusk while looking behind his back, and just then he accidentally saw Kira who was standing not far from him while putting on a friendly smile that looked so strange.

"Ah, it turns out you." Inner Twilight with her cold face. He is then surprised by Maya who is pulling her hand.

"Let's go" exclaimed Maya who was currently staring cynically at Kira.

"Don't mind crazy people like her," Maya continued in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Good."

Dusk then goes to follow Maya leaving the hallway where Kira is still at the end of the road with her mysterious smile.
