RISE OF CHIMERA: The Beginning Of This Story
~CUPLICANT OR DELUSION~
An hour had passed since they started this race. Now the remaining portion of Gaia's side is only five, in contrast to the Terasaka group that has been sold out.
The valuation for this race is actually determined by how many portions are already sold out. The Gaia and Terasaka groups are currently competing to determine the largest number of servings.
Because the Gaia and Terasaka group share the same amount, the final result will be determined by consumer assessment and of course, Gaia group will win.
But that was on condition, Gaia's group's trading had to run out before the deadline given.
“Yosh, soon our trading will run out!”
Yoki is more enthusiastic in doing his work, as well as Kenichi and Gaia who do not stop to attract the attention of customers who come.
In about 8 minutes, Gaia's trading group was almost lost. Now there is one more pack. But, one strange thing was that the mouth of one of the members of the Terasaka group was smiling widely for some reason.
“Katsudon one!”
A customer dressed in white and glazed eyes, walked over to their stall.
This customer will be the last customer. The remaining portion is one and the result of the race will be determined by customer satisfaction, this can be seen from the rest of the time that almost reached the deadline.
When Yoki was about to hand over a pack of katsudon to the customer. For some reason, suddenly Yoki's hand could not be separated from the katsudon wrap made of steroform.
The customer was astonished, the gaze began to become an unpleasant gaze for Yoki. That certainly makes Yoki more panicked, he continues to try to release his katsudon and accidentally wrap loose and about the clothes of the customer.
“Pak ... pack .. this ma-sorry ...”
“Already! I didn't pay for your stupidity to me, this is my favorite shirt and you have made me very upset!”
After taking off his snaps, the customer went away and made Yoki sad because of an incident he could not have expected. Meanwhile, Kenichi and Gaia stop their busy lives and walk closer to Yoki.
“Hoho .. it seems like someone has been hit by bad luck, how things are ... spider man ..”
Not just a mere mockery, one of the three of them raised and showed a bottle of liquid glue. The bottle was shaken, as if to show a certain purpose.
Kenichi could no longer contain his anger. His personality who always responded to every situation calmly, now turned 180 degrees because his friends were hurt. As he wants to advance with a katana, Yoki stops Kenichi by holding onto his shoulder.
“Why? Why don't you continue your actions huh!”
“Su-have Tired, I don't want you getting into the dark just because of this problem ...”
Kenichi who was being held by Yoki immediately strengthened his hand. His eyes were red with a killing aura coming out of him.
It is no longer a taboo or terrible thing for Kenichi, because he has already killed several times people who seek trouble with him.
While their attention is still directed to the Terasaka group who are still laughing. Unknowingly, Gaia had already left the place while shedding tears. Yoki awakens as he no longer feels the air of Gaia's existence.
“Ke-Kenichi .. Better we look for Gaia first, I'm really worried about her.”
“Iya .. you're right.”
The two of them immediately rushed to look for Gaia. Leaving behind their still-uncleaned belongings and the Terasaka group that still enjoyed their fraudulent victory.
In the forest ....
“Why!? Whyyy!? All of you ... you all cheated on me...”
His words came to a halt as a flash of events flashed across his head. Inside was a princess who ran into the forest with tears flowing out of her eyes.
The princess continued to whine, until she unconsciously ran more and more into the forest that was not exposed to the moonlight.
Until he stopped his steps when he reached the end of the forest. In front of him stood a cliff and just below the cliff and in front of the little princess there was a cave that was darker than this forest.
He entered out of curiosity and perhaps he also had nowhere else to go but to explore the cave. Not to forget, he also made a torch with fire magic that came out of his hands.
After exploring the cave deeper, he found an old temple that seemed very abandoned and could even be said to have been destroyed. The princess entered and when she was inside, she found a coffin in which lay a corpse with only bones left.
“This is whose body?”
“Elisiaaa ... Elisejaaa ... Elisiaaaa ..”.
The princess who was called by her own name immediately goosebumps in fear upon hearing that. Well, that's for sure because the place is very foreign, especially coupled with strange sounds that increasingly add to the atmosphere.
“What do you want?”
Elisiah asked with both hands to keep her mouth shut. His eyes were still straightened with a frown that was furrowed from fear.
“Not .. does not exist. How can grandfather ask his grandson.”
“La-then ..why did you call me and .. and why did you claim to be my grandfather?”
“I want to mess up one of your wishes and my status problem .. You will know it over time. Now, I want to save you from this damned age ..”
“Ta-but what does that mean?..”
“A-what is this? what are you doing?”
“This age is dirty and in the future, my lover is in need of a guide to light it up. Go my grandson and do your job!”
*****
Gaia forced to immediately stop the delusion. This time he no longer thought of it as his brain-made creativity, but it was a puzzle piece of something he now remembered.
Along with his halted steps, he also saw the old cave in front of him. A cave that no longer feels foreign in his brain, precisely just now. Looking up, he was a little confused by the numbers stamped on the wooden board attached to the wall.
“Who am I?”
“Gaia ... Gaia .. where are you?”
With growing concern, Yoki and Kenichi continued shouting Gaia's name with a chaotic move around the forest, leaving Gaia to not continue her speech.
“Ke-Kenichi ... Yoki ...”
“Hmmm ... where is he?”
An answer quickly answers the question. Now, the answer in the form of a voice turned into a clue, because many times he spoke his name and Kenichi with a loud bang. The voice was not foreign because it came from Gaia.
Yoki and Kenichi immediately went to the origin of the sound. The fallen leaves and stems do not prevent Yoki and Kenichi from finding a friend until they stop running when they find something that is their goal.
Right in front of them, stood a teenage girl who was also staring at the two of them with a hariu.
“Ga-Gaia .. are you okay? If you want ...”
“No... I'm fine, I don't know who I really am. But at least, I have you guys.”
His words were accompanied by haru and crying, but with different intentions. Especially with a word that goes on. That certainly has made Yoki and Kenichi even more confused with Gaia's attitude and speech. Gaia walks past Yoki and Kenichi, to lead the two of them home.
Meanwhile, around the forest in Beppu Town .…
It was late and of course, the atmosphere was also very quiet. Especially when talking about forests that are mostly filled by various species of animals and plants.
“Haaah, my lord where are you? I've been looking for you for 14 years in this world.”
A black figure was being seen walking among the trees in the forest. It was like a pitch-black smoke that seemed to float in the air.
“For the old man, I failed to get you. CIKH, if only I wasn't late. If only I had managed to arrive 15 minutes early, I would have gotten you.”
The figure continued to drift until it reached the edge of the abyss. From there he could see the dominant urban landscape, decorated by urban lights.
“But I did not expect, that this age is also very beautiful ...”
The figure does not continue the word, he replaces it with a breath. A scent that he was familiar with, suddenly entered and was inhaled by him. Indeed his nose is not visible, but still he can smell the aroma.
“This .. hahaha, my lord, my lord. Your smell finally got me tracked. After a long time I traveled around Japan, from north to south. Turns out you were here, in Beppu city hahaha ...”
Now that the figure looked delighted, he continuously laughed as he entered again into the forest. Although it is actually strange, because the source of the sound is out of nowhere. Mouth alone does not have, all it has is one pair of red eyes.
“Now, I have to pick him up. But what costume is right to welcome him? I used to use a lion as my costume, and now what?”
The figure floated, surrounding the forest. He wanted to find a costume. His eyes glanced here and there, but not a single animal was in sight. At last, he heard a step. From behind the bushes on his right.
“Now what will I find. Is interesting?”
The figure approached the source of the sound, he saw a deer-type animal walking in the middle of the forest. Not just himself, he was with his flock. However, the other herd was sound asleep.
“Hahaha, the horns are very beautiful. It's a much better costume than that lion.”
When the deer was eating the grass in front of him, he suddenly experienced a terrible situation. The figure penetrated through his nose, of course it can be done because of the form of smoke.
The deer stopped for a while, then immediately changed into a groan of pain. Even his four legs were not strong enough to support his weight, he ended up falling to the ground with excruciating pain.
Lasts a few minutes, until the deer is silent not warting. He was petrified, until a black aura suddenly shot out from him. That aura was the same as the aura belonging to the figure who possessed it.
When the aura has enveloped the entire body, then the deer realized and woke up from its position. Now he's completely different. His eyes were the most terrifying, black smoke kept coming out along with the intonation of his breathing.
The situation will definitely attract attention, his friends immediately woke up all. They all stood up, but there was clearly a look of fear from their eyes. Frightened, they all retreated slowly.
“Huff .…”
The deer that had been possessed, was aware of the actions of his flock. In return, he instantly emitted an extremely dense and numerous black smoke from his body.
The cover is the herd. So that all the deer that were there was covered by a very thick black smoke.
After a while, the black smoke disappeared and was replaced with the dead bodies of his herd that had died in a miserable manner.
