RISE OF CHIMERA: The Beginning Of This Story
~TRAVEL~
During the break, Yoki and his two friends ate in the park. Well it is almost the same place every day, a place that is used when resting from the busy at school. But, what was different was the presence of someone who suddenly joined them eating at that place.
That person had been trailing them, like a person with no purpose. From the classroom to the cafeteria, she always gave her distance when walking behind them.
“I'm allowed to eat with you guys yah.”
That person was Haori, now that she had already shown herself in front of them.
“Eee, no papalah. This is a public place.”
Yoki gave the permission. Actually the hell he didn't really like that much, giving permission was a bit too formal for him. Especially if it is just a place to eat.
“Thank you.”
After receiving permission, Haori immediately sat down next to Gaia. He continued to eat it voraciously, without paying attention to the eyes of Yoki, Gaia, and Kenichi who had been staring at him.
“Wah, you were greedy to eat it well.”
After being stared at long enough, Kenichi finally took the initiative to show the intent of the gaze earlier.
While the new Haori was aware of their gazes, immediately stopped chewing and returned the gaze given to her.
How not, how to eat Haori already like a person who does not eat for 3 days. Absolutely greedy and greedy, even causing the scars of bread crumbs that fall on his uniform.
“Hee ...”
Haori immediately bowed, maybe she felt that the gaze was a negative view of her. Well, it looks like he found a problem. The crumbs of bread that fell down earlier, he immediately removed them from the uniform.
“Eee ... what do you do? I didn't mean it that way.”
“Ku I guess you rate me as a slovenly and greedy girl.”
“Ahh, how could we be like that to you. Never mind, let it be if it is your habit.”
Who knew the first time was Yoki, he immediately rushed to stop Haori's actions earlier. If left unchecked, perhaps Haori's view of the three of them would be different.
“Ohh well Haori, can I ask about that one?”
“About that well. Hahaha .. it looks like you are very interested yah.”
“Of course.”
Yoki answered with excitement. His tone was so enthusiastic, not much different from the tone issued in the class earlier. Well but, now he had already noticed the surrounding conditions. It's a public place, so it should be quiet and not provoke attention.
“When I moved to this city, I saw a hill. It was the hill that was behind our school.”
Haori's eyes looked at Gaia, Yoki, and Kenichi who were sitting beside her. Now he had completely stopped even bread, although there was still a quarter left. Focusing on storytelling is the reason.
“One day I decided to go to that hill. I went there with my favorite camera. Well, it's really beautiful there. The atmosphere is really worth taking a photo. The atmosphere, the scenery, even to the residents who live in the hill.”
“When did you go to that hill?”
Suddenly Kenichi asked, cutting off Haori who was deep into the story. Though Haori was smiling when she told her story, as if she was seeing him.
“Uhm approx, in the morning.”
“So.”
After answering, Kenichi was silent again. He wanted to hear the continuation of the story, while deepening the answer Gaia gave inwardly.
“When I was down the hill, suddenly I heard the voices of some people talking to each other and at the same time, I heard the roar of a wild beast.”
Suddenly, Kenichi's expression was rather deep when he heard the word “some people”. That means, not just one Bonzo guy was watching them. For now Kenichi can conclude, the plans of the people of the Bonzo group only began at that time. Well, this was his personal matter so he felt that there was no need to discuss it together with Yoki and Gaia.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't bother about it. Maybe it was the other visitors, that was the opinion of the two of them upon hearing it.
“I was curious and went straight to the source of the sound. About a minute I ran and found that the three of you were fighting a bear.”
“Hoo, but why didn't you come to us?”
“Where well, I was indeed very surprised and amazed at the sight. But I don't know you yet, so I'm holding back my intentions.”
One more question came, it came from Yoki. After finishing answering the question, Haori took a short pause. He put bread in his mouth.
“But, I have a question for you.”
“Yeah, why?”
“Ehm, did you see any strange things happening on that hill? I mean on that day?”
Haori needed time to answer that question. First he chews and swallows a small piece of his food, then ends with a speech .…
“What's well?”
Haori's index finger was continuously banged against her chin. Haori's brain kept spinning to restore the memory. A short while later, the piece of memory that was in Haori's head had already fused together.
After taking a long time, Haori finally smiled because she found the answer Kenichi was looking for.
“Ahh well, if not wrong I saw a man who was walking around the hill. The man wears a black suit and wears a hat .. eee, bentar ...”
It took a pause to continue the story, he somewhat forgot the characteristics of the people he had seen.
“The upper part is semicircular and if not wrong the color is black.”
“Bowler Hat!”
Kenichi confirms Haori's explanation, he is very familiar with that type of hat. He even has business with the people who wear them.
It turns out that not only Kenichi was shocked when he heard it, but also with Yoki who wore the same facial expression. That facial sharpening made Kenichi at first think that Yoki seemed to know about it.
“There was a party on that hill.”
“There is such a thing! I told you no one dared to go to that hill.”
It turns out that very far from Kenichi's expectations, he thinks Yoki will explore and peel part of his past.
“Well who is that guy, does he want camping? Again there are voices of some people, are they his friends?”
“Eee .. I don't know.”
Kenichi refuses to answer Yoki's question. Not not not not knowing the answer, but he was not too sure if it was revealed in front of Yoki. Is that going to delve into Yoki's past? Is that going to be a problem for Yoki? Clearly, he did not want Yoki to fall into trouble.
“Oh well Kenichi, besides the man .. I also heard a very creepy voice.”
Now the storyteller's face trembled, goosebumps with the story to be brought. While Kenichi, Yoki, and Gaia enter the story, they ignore their personal affairs in order to listen to Haori's next story.
“That voice is not like the sound of a lion, a bear or any other animal. Even that voice was still inferior to this voice. The voice sounded like ... like the voice of a woman screaming in fear. Kayak ghost voice ...”
Haori's face still animates the story, but in contrast to Kenichi, Yoki, and Gaia who instantly change attitude. They already know the continuation, so they all put up a flat face with the intention of saying, “Oh.”
“Ehh, iyaloh Haori.”
Suddenly, Yoki confirms Haori's story. Haori was ready with a look like that, even she was seen nodding with Yoki's words.
“It looks like the myth is true if there is a ghostly figure of a girl who always screams with a scary and loud voice.”
“Hee, is Yoki really?”
Yoki nodded as a sign of seriousness and it was also what made Haori's body tremble even more.
“Said he was actually very afraid of the state of the forest that was so scary, so he died of shock and .…”
“And every hour of school break, the ghost came to the person who had told her story!”
Suddenly the person Yoki was talking to stood up and shouted at Yoki. Not only that, the two hands that have been carefully prepared are immediately launched towards the target which is none other than Yoki. It seemed, Gaia had regained consciousness quickly.
“Awww.. awww, pain, pain Gaia! Ahhhh .. awww!!!”
It turned out that the attack that was launched was a hard jewel that mercilessly pulled the ears of his opponent. Yep, Gaia looks very excited in torturing Yoki. Perhaps, it was based on his defamation.
“Now it's time for that demon to take revenge!”
“Ahhh!!”
As for the audience, Kenichi immediately laughed out loud when he saw the behavior of his two friends.
This is very different from Haori who is confused by the meaning of the story of Yoki and Gaia, but want to be explored to any extent it will all end in vain.
