"Louis" he said in his heart with both eyes closed, trying to call his imaginary friend who was always present in his time of need.
Rei opened his eyes slowly. And as soon as he opened his eyes, the figure of his imaginary friend was already present right before him.
Louis. Albino-haired man with a face that was no less handsome than him, his height was only a few centimeters different, as well as their age.
"What's up, sir?" Louis asked as soon as he appeared before Rei. Rei looked at Louis's figure.
"What's going on with Nero now? Is my guess regarding the dream fog controller evolver true?" Rei asked Louis.
"Nero has not been conscious until now, because he has indeed entered into his trap. And as for the alleged master.it's true."
"So...that man is really a reincarnation of him? The figure we used to fight?"
"Master. He is a reincarnation of her. It's just, he's getting a power refinement."
"You mean?"
"This time his strength is a little different than before he was reincarnated. His method of attracting victims is also a little different, plus. It uses a mist that can make people faint and enter into its world."
"really?"
"True sir."
"So you mean, he's not acting like he used to? Pretending to be a drink peddler then give a bottle of drink to the victim at his destination, then ask them about their biggest fear?"
"Yes sir. And again, once every victim who receives such a question from him, they will immediately suddenly hear a song that becomes the key as well as the door to his world. Now, the method is different. Victims are only given drinks and as long as they inhale the aroma of the drink, they will be immediately drawn into the world."
"That means. Nero is in danger," Rei turned to look at Nero who was now lying beside him. The sleeping man involuntarily let out tears at each end of his eyes.
"He was crying," muttered Rei who was just realizing it. He shifted his sitting position then wiped his tears with a handkerchief on his table.
"It seems they started to run the action."
"You're right. But this time it seems faster. I'm afraid Nero is starting to lose his memory of us. This will make it difficult for us to get him out of there" Rei murmured.
"That means we don't have much time sir."
Rei turned his eyes to Louis there. What the man said was true. They didn't have enough time to help Nero.
"You're right. I need to help him right away. But for that, I need Elvina and William to make sure we're okay" Rei said. Louis kept silent justifying the words of his master.
"I have to check their situation first and make sure that they have completely recovered" Rei said. Louis nodded his head there.
Rei closed his eyes slowly, and in his heart said "go away." When he opened his eyes, the figure of Louis who had only been talking to him for a while then vanished from his sight.
Rei got up from his seat. He stepped out of the room now occupied by Nero, closing the door of his room very quietly. He then stepped towards the direction of the room where Elvina and William lay unconscious.
"Rei?" Marko's voice there spontaneously stopped his footsteps.
Rei turned his head towards the arrival of the voice so consciously Marko arrived in the middle room.
"Marco?" Rei said while looking at him.
"Have you checked on Nero?"
"Oh yeah. It's been. By the way, where are you going? I thought you were resting with the others."
"Oh so it looks."
"Ah yes. What about Nero? Is he conscious?"
"Still not yet" Rei said, lowering his head.
"really?"
"Yes. But the plan is I'm gonna help him realize."
"Helping him to wake up? Meanin?" Marko scrunched his forehead. Rei looked up at Marko there.
"It's gonna be hard for me to explain. I'll explain it as soon as the others get together" Rei said.
"Marko, what are you doing there?! Where's the drink." Taz's words stopped immediately when he got there along with Dean and Vicenzo. They found Rei standing up and chatting with Marko.
"Rei, are you done?" Dean asked glanced at him.
"No, yet" Rei shook his head.
"We're already here. So what did you mean by that?" Marko asked a shift of topics. Dean and his two friends stared at Marko with confused faces.
"What did you just mean?" Vincenzo asked confusedly.
"I'll check on Elvina and William first. If they're conscious, then I'll explain everything" Rei said as he opened the doorknob before him. Pushed him inward and found his two cousins still lying there unconscious.
Rei approached the edge of Elvina's bed and sat there, looking at her cousin. For the time being, he really wished Elvina and William would soon come to their senses to help him.
On the other hand, Marko is still curious; then forgets his goal to take drinking water. He followed where Rei was going and stood in the doorway with Dean and the others.
"El. Will. I really need your help for now. I need you to help me save Nero from the inside. I need you to help me bring her back here, "inner Rei, expectantly. He closed his eyes, hoping.
The focus shifted when suddenly Marko there shouted in a slightly loud voice.
"They're up!" The thrill made Rei wake up. Rei's water turned happy. Both of his cousins were beginning to wake up. They begin to appear to blink both of their eyes to clarify their vision before their vision begins to clear.
"Elvina, William," Rei said as he stared at them in turn.
Elvina and William, who were unconscious, slowly began to blink their eyes several times before finally opening.
Rei smiled looking at them. She was happy because Elvina and William could hear her inner being asking for help.
"A-argh... Where am I?" Elvina tried to get up and Rei rushed to help her.
"You're home" Rei told him.
"What happened to us?" This time William asked. Rei turned to look at him there.
"You fainted because you ran out of energy. Remember?"
"really?" Elvina looked at Rei.
"Yes. And you guys haven't been conscious long enough."
"That's it," Elvina responded.
