Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E61] Suspicion

"Everything you do if you don't know will still be considered disturbing."

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

Throughout the silent night a girl was still struggling on her magic. He violently flipped through the pen ink before deciding to rewrite the letter.

The girl seemed to worry every time she started writing. He squeezed and threw away the letter he had just written. The girl was none other than Dusk, she felt frustrated every time she wanted to write a letter.

"I want them to be wary of the waiter," murmured Dusk before the questioner slid back on the paper.

This time Dusk wrote a long sentence that did not fit his personality. The sentence was accompanied by a portrait of a strange smiling servant woman.

"I need to know who he's been meeting for the last two months."

Fifteen minutes had passed and Dusk still continued to dwell on his letter. It took him 25 minutes to complete the letter. Dusk then stamped the letter with the guild's red fox emblem.

"I can finally rest as well." said Dusk as he got up from his seat.

He then walked to the bed and immediately threw himself down. It didn't take long, this time Dusk fell asleep.

The next morning Dusk woke up with a big smile on his lips. He felt refreshed because he was able to sleep comfortably last night. It has been a long time since Dusk has not slept like that since it continues to stay up every night.

"It's been delivered apparently," murmured Dusk as he looked at the pile of letters that disappeared from the top of his desk.

Usually the letters will be sent Dian to the guild. There the letter will be given protective magic before being sent back to its original owner.

This is done so that no one can see the contents of the letter except the intended recipient. Such was the guild's security system created by Dusk.

"Miss, please." exclaimed Dian after putting the face wash water container.

"A boring day with the same routine."

****

Day after day passed by Dusk as usual and did not feel a week passed. He was bored by having to repeat the same day without any changes.

"Hmm, at least one has changed," murmured Dusk as he glanced at Kira who was sitting far away from him.

For whatever reason but for sure after Kira returned from the residence of Count Difani, he looks as if away from Dusk.

Of course it is very grateful for Dusk because there is no need to bother playing in front of him. Even so, Dusk remains vigilant because there could be another purpose behind it all.

"Let's go Dusk, let's focus," lirih Dusk while lightly patting both cheeks.

He then refocused his attention on the science of sorcery. It can be said that this science is more focused on healing systems for emergencies.

Dusk is not so interested because of course all the wounds and injuries can be treated by Ristia. Even so Dusk still pay attention to the lesson until it is finished.

"Is there a question?" exclaim Prof Aina while tidying up her notebook.

"If there were none, I would assume you understood everything." continued Prof Aina before dropping out of class.

The students looked happy because only Prof Aina did not like pleasantries and made it difficult for the students. Even so Prof Aina is also included in one of the killer Prof in addition to Prof William and Prof Andrew.

"Oh yeah, I seem to have forgotten something."

Prof Aina went back to the pulpit and opened her little bag. Inside the bag were several small bags of various colors. With just one hand movement the entire bag was now spread to several student desks.

"In the pouch were the seeds of the herbal plant, I know not all of you are proficient in healing magic techniques. So instead I want you to grow that plant."

"Excuse me Prof, why didn't I get the seeds?" cut off the student whose desk has no bag.

"As I said earlier that not all of you have healing abilities. So those who don't get pockets are students who have potential in the healing system."

"..."

"The time to grow the plant is only ten days. In that time I will hold a live practice session of this lesson. So for those who do not get the seeds should look for at least one healing technique to be able to pass."

"What's? How come?"

"Is Prof Aina crazy?"

The students were arguing with each other, they felt aggrieved by Prof Aina's favoritism this time.

"Prof, I don't think that's fair. They just need to grow that seed while we.."

"Hey, are you jealous? What Prof Aina said was correct."

Cut out other students who don't accept the argument of their compatriots. He felt that Prof Aina's judgment was correct and need not be doubted.

"It would be great if Prof Aina did not retract her decision." the man's inner self with an annoyed face.

The students who received the pouch were delighted. They did not have to bother looking for healing techniques to be able to pass the practice this time.

"Failure of practice in the subjects of Prof Deru is enough." the inner whole student who receives the seed pouch.

"Their inner thoughts look so clear" murmured Dusk as he looked at the faces of the students who were glaring sharply while grasping the bags of seeds dipped respectively.

Prof Aina who saw the chaos in front of him could only shake her head before deciding to quit the classroom.

"Bas stupid, they thought it would be easy." Inner Prof Aina with a sly smile at the end of her lips.

Dusk was slightly startled as he saw Prof Aina's fleeting smile before he walked out of the classroom. According to Dusk the smile looked strange and suspicious.

"Did I see wrong? But it doesn't seem so." murmured Dusk upon seeing some students chasing after Prof Aina.

"Prof wait, this is unfair. I can't take it."

Shouted some students who did not accept his condition. They were furious as they chased Prof Aina's back from behind. However as expected they only got a long lecture after successfully approaching Prof Aina.

****

Dusk who managed to escape from the classroom after a long struggle was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. He was grateful to be able to escape at the right time before Prof Aina's anger exploded in the classroom.

"I think there are a few more people who escaped the class, where are they going?"

Dusk glanced to the right and left but found no one. He was relieved to look back at the fourth floor of the magic building. There he could see a blaze of blue light that occasionally illuminated the classroom.

"Prof Aina must be very angry," exclaimed the baritone voice that appeared from beside Dusk.

"Who?"

Dusk looked startled, he subconsciously grasped his chest that was beating fast.

"When was Amir there? I checked this place out and no one was there."

"Ah no, I'm just confused." replied Dusk after calming his heart.

"How did you get here?" ask after a few seconds of silence.

"I was lost and I finally escaped from class. When I wanted to go back to the dorm, I saw you here."

"Oh, what did you get in class?" tanya Dusk while glancing at the male dormitory building which was not far from their position.

"I got this,"

Amir took out his bag of seeds, he looked so confident and not wary of Dusk at all.

"Why are you showing me that? Aren't you afraid I'll steal it?"

"Eh, no. Not at all."

Bitter memories hit Amir again when he saw the bag of seeds of his classmates who were seized. That was the reason why the class had now become chaotic and why Prof Aina had returned to the classroom after being away for so long.

"You are not like them." continued Amir with eyes that began to glaze over.

"But if you want me to..."

"No need, I'm not that bad."

Dusk firmly cuts the word of Amir. He did not want to deal with this strange man in front of him.

"It was enough that I felt dizzy with the class, and this. Hah no, I want to go back."

Dusk then left the place leaving Amir who was silent to see him. Dusk did not care about anything Amir thought about him.

"Our relationship is not a close one that should share with each other."

Different story if it is with Kira, Dusk will happily accept the seeds and make Kira cry afterwards. It was quite good to see Kira's crying face upset over her failed plan.

After Dusk's departure from the place, Amir immediately headed for his dorm room. Along the way he just kept smiling mischievously while thinking about the face of Dusk.

"Good expression, I like that." muttered Amir as he recalled the face of Dusk flushed in shock.

When Amir arrived at the room, he lazily threw the seed bag into the trash. He then sat back on the sofa and began to notice the movements of other students from outside the window of his room.

"Miss, you look strange." exclaimed Dian when he saw Dusk entering the room with a jutek face.

"Dian, I want you to investigate someone." replied Dusk who did not want to bother with the words of his subordinates.

"Investigate this man" he continued, handing over Amir's poster to Dian.

"Neither Miss,"

Dian immediately disappeared from the room and left Dusk there.

"I didn't feel the air at all, it was strange."

Dusk recalled his meeting just a moment ago with Amir. It was strange that the sensitive Dusk could not notice the presence of Amir on them so close.

"What magic did he use?" murmured before taking off his clothes.

While continuing to think Dusk went into the bath and rested his brain. Although it was still daytime but Dusk was too lazy to return to class after the incident.

"The next lesson is Advanced science of combat techniques. Even if I don't come today, it won't be a big deal."

Dusk is lazy to meet again with Amir and his other classmates. He wants to rest using the pretext of pain. Of course all the teachers knew if Dusk's condition was weak so they would happily let him rest in the room.

Immediately after bathing, Dusk chooses to rest in the old house. Waiting for a training session with Lucas.

"Dian, send this letter to Prof Darwin. Tell him I've had a fever from the commotion."

"Neither Miss,"

Dian obediently picked up the letter and immediately walked out of the room. The twilight that saw Dian's obedience could only sigh deeply before leaving the dormitory.

After the portal light disappears Dusk can see a variety of old home furniture. Everything remains the same and there is no change at all.

Dusk then walked through the living room to go to his room. When just entering the living room, Dusk saw a letter with a sprig of Chrysanthemum flowers on it.

"What's this?" ask Dusk while approaching the table.

"Who sent this flower and this letter."

Dusk lazily put away the Chrysanthemum flowers before taking the letter below. He then opened the letter and read the contents.

"Is Lucas crazy?" maki Dusk with an annoyed look.

He then took a quick glance at the Chrysanthemum flowers that still looked fresh despite having been examined a while ago.

"Did he tell me to eat this flower? Does he not know if I'm allergic to chrysanthemums?"

The twilight was a little angry, he wanted to crush the flower immediately. But Ristia who was on the wrist of Dusk managed to stop the action of the lady.

"Miss, this flower is very rare and its properties are quite good for health and restore vitality."

"Continue?"

"From the time you throw it away, it's better to sell it, right?"

"Hmm, what a great idea. But I can't seem to sell these flowers on the black market."

"Why don't you sell it anywhere else."

"Well, you think it's easy."

Dusk hit the room on Ristia's head and then took the flower to store in her magic bag. The bag is able to store a variety of foods and plants to stay durable for up to two years.

"Where's the hell is the hell you going?"

"Sleep, I'm tired."

Like the original plan, Dusk lazily came to the mattress and laid himself down. He will rethink about today's events after all his fatigue is gone.
