Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E37] Physical Changes

"A momentary victory sometimes makes you forget that it's only temporary."

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

Arriving at the dorm room, Dusk immediately laid himself on the mattress. He was tired and wanted to rest quickly. Meanwhile Ristia immediately went to meet Lily who was in the Moonlight Guild.

"You look pale," shrieked Kun indifferently.

"Whispering," replied the twilight as equally.

"Huh, someone else will misunderstand you like this," Kun continued as he stepped away towards the sofa beside him.

"But that's pretty good" he exclaimed once more as he circled his body around the sofa.

"..."

Dusk was silent when he heard Kun's words. He was aware of it, but he tried to be indifferent to it.

"Again, no one will care too much." murmured the twilight in his heart.

After saying that, Dusk decided to go to sleep. He was too tired to think about it all. Moreover, her body had already experienced a great shock after being twice nearly killed by the strange monster in the Rose Empress's basement.

"Damn, it feels like it makes you shiver," said Dusk as he closed his eyes.

A few minutes later, Dian returned to the room and was surprised to see that Dusk was already in her room. The thing that makes Dian added shock is the condition of Dusk that can not even be said to be alive.

A pale face, fragile skin and shabby hair added the impression of death to the lady.

"What's wrong with Miss?" ask Dian to panic. He was not even able to support himself when he was about to go to his bed.

"What happened to Miss during my absence..."

"He's fine. Only his physical condition alone looked like an undead, but his soul was healthy." Kun cut as he was troubled by Dian's voice which was even much worse than Dusk's.

"Is that as bad as Miss's current condition?" Dian cried while listening to the condition of Dusk. He felt like a failure because he was unable to protect the lady.

"What's wrong with her?" inner Kun did not understand why Dian was crying like that.

"Hic...Hic..Hiccu..."

Out of annoyance Kun finally decided to leave the Twilight room. He couldn't bear to keep hearing Dian's cries. He did not even understand the reason why Dian was crying like that.

Although Kun had clearly said that Dusk was fine, Dian could not believe it at all. He thought that her body was in danger because it looked so pale.

"I'll train hard so that Miss doesn't get hurt again like this." Dian muttered as she recalled their past as Her Lady lay sick.

With a firm decision, Dian left the room. He then headed for the Moonlight Guild to train in the Guild's basement.

"What time is this?" ask Dusk when he wakes up from his sleep.

"How long have I been sleeping, why hasn't anyone woken me up?" murmured as he realized that the room was still empty. There was only one in the room.

"Where is everyone?" ask Dusk again.

"Risti...!" Dusk silence. He only realized that Ristia was not in his place either.

"Where are they going?" ask Dusk again while stepping away from his bed.

"Huh," Dusk only let out a long sigh as he closed the curtains that were still open.

It was late at night, the condition of the dormitory seemed silent indicating the students were still asleep in their respective sleep.

"It's still 10 p.m., but there's no sign of life in this place." shrieked at Dusk glancing at the clock on the wall.

As soon as he closed all the curtains, he rushed to the bathroom. Not forgetting before taking a bath he did link with Ristia to bring Dian back to the dorm.

Moments after Dusk entered the bathroom, it was clear the light of the teleportation portal was shining on his room. The beam slowly disappeared so that it appeared Dian and Ristia who were walking out of the portal.

After finishing the bath, just as usual Dian immediately helped Dusk wear his clothes. He had also prepared all the necessities of Dusk when the lady was still bathing.

"Sorry to have Miss waiting, I was having business before." Dian replied politely.

"In addition, there is also important information that I want to convey to Miss." continued Dian explained.

"What's that?" ask Dusk while choosing a hair decoration to wear.

Dian seemed to think for a moment, honestly he wanted to say everything but he was worried that the lady would be disturbed and even make him sicker because of the burden of excessive thoughts.

"What's that?" dusk asked once more as he looked at Dian who was speechless without an answer.

"Ah that, actually the condition of the Sun Forest is not good." replied Dian slowly.

"Explain,"

"None Miss. So like this, because the jewelry sold by the store every day is a good material, so many of the buyers who often struggle to have the jewelry."

"Then?"

"Because of that, they often fight and eventually our shop often get reprimanded by the palace."

"Is that so?"

"Yes Miss," to be honest, that's not what Dian wanted to say. He wants to say about the friends of the Twilight who lately difficult to find.

But if Dian said that, then her miss will be involved again in dangerous affairs and it can disturb the mental subordinates.

"Better, I'll investigate this alone." Dian's mind is full of confidence.

"If it is like that, after the lesson is finished tomorrow, we will go to the Sun Forest."

After saying that, Dusk then went to the dormitory cafeteria for dinner. Although the time is late, but the canteen is still open until 12 pm.

This is natural because usually the students are often tired so they will only eat after sleeping all day.

"See that...!" whisper one of the students when passing by Dusk.

"He's like a corpse." replied the student who was beside him.

"What's wrong with him." continued the others along the way to the cafeteria.

All the students there always pay attention to Dusk. They did not even hesitate to look at him directly as he was walking before them.

"Living life...!" the other whispers are mutually unpretentious.

Even so Dusk was still indifferent to the surroundings. He did not even care about the student who deliberately stood before him just to look at his condition up close.

"What's wrong with them?" gerutu Dian was upset. He was also aware that the condition of his lady was not healthy, but paying attention to her like that was very disrespectful.

"Miss," whispered Dian slowly.

"Try wearing this," without prior approval from her lady, Dian immediately put Dusk lipstick on her lips.

"Much better," Dian's inner self after she finished putting on the lipstick.

"What's this?" tanya Dusk did not understand.

"It's a moisturizer so that Miss's lips don't get chapped later." Dian replied confidently.

Dusk who did not want to take a headache immediately went to the cafeteria for dinner. Arriving at the cafeteria, many of those who had previously noticed Dusk were now getting busy with their personal affairs.

Even so there were still some among them who were talking about Dusk behind him.

"They can never be silent," sheen Dian annoyed.

"Let it go." replied Dusk indifferently while taking his food.

However, news of the zombie-like Dusk had spread throughout the dormitory. All the students that night learned that Dusk was not present today in class because he was sick and that was evidenced by his condition that looked apprehensive.
