RISE OF CHIMERA: The Beginning Of This Story
~DIVE TO GET MAKNA~
“Alright, I start.”
After recording the first stanza, Eiji invited Gaia to come closer.
“What do you think this means?”
“I don't know sir, but I think about power.”
“This fourth line is a bit confusing. Blood of flesh and fellow, what do they mean brother?”
Gaia fell silent, now she was more like a spectator. Can only hear and understand what Eiji explained.
“Then fruit,” suddenly Eiji flicked his finger, he found something, “Means son of his brother. Because the blood of flesh and fellow means to have one meaning, namely brother. Then the fruit is his fellow son or brother.”
The important one line in one verse was already answered, although Gaia was still astonished by Eiji's reason for choosing the fourth line first.
“If third line, what problem is this?”
Eiji wondered. As for Gaia, something happened when she reread the text.
“Status, eee .. I mean position.”
“Perfect, nice.”
Finally Gia could be useful as well, she was already itching to help Eiji solve this problem. Well, it was just a bad taste, because the one who asked Eiji to help was Gaia.
“For the third line .. uhm, there may have been a rebellion. But, why did that man kill his nephew?”
It is still full of question marks. But at least, they have made progress, although still vague.
“If for the first and second line I think about birth, because the date of birth is determined since the baby comes out of the mother's womb. Well, that so the question ... what is the relationship of row one, two with three and four?”
Come to think of it, Eiji only got a dead end.
“But already, you continue to read the second verse as well as the third verse.”
Gaia nodded, she was ready to read the continuation.
It's not as sweet as your name.
Your hands are light in blood.
You're a bud, but you're a parasite.
You sell life to lust.
The response is repeated.
That night was blood red.
The fragrant carcass flower is just a delusion.
Here is the summary that hugged you.
“Gatcha, I got the answer.”
Suddenly Eiji was excited, his laughter was all let go. Making the newly finished Gaia read, flinched. Eiji was aware when he saw Gaia giving out such an expression, so all he had to explain first.
“Gini, gini. If we only read the first verse, we might think that the one born was the perpetrator of the rebellion. But I am referring to a sentence in the second stanza.”
Eiji picked up the pen and wrote on the paper, showing Gaia the result.
“You are buds but also parasites means he is still small.”
“Yes, meaning he was born while his neighborhood was going on a rebellion. There was no way he who was still that small could gain the confidence to lead the rebellion. After all ...,” Eiji pointed to a patterned dress that was still neatly folded on the table, “The dress was very small and who could wear it was probably children of the toddler range.”
Something flashed across Gaia's head, happening as she looked at the patterned dress while hearing Eiji's explanation. Maybe it can be likened to a flash that is inserted into a computer. But not that simple, something that went into Gaia's head had an adverse effect on her.
It was bad enough that Gaia had to endure the pain with both hands. He squatted with all the effort he had. The pain that had occurred had produced something. The result in question is a fleeting snippet that changes very quickly. Gaia was still able to catch some of the snippets that appeared. Like parties, cemeteries, and forests.
“Gaia, relax!”
It was only after Gaia came to her senses after Eiji patted her on the shoulder several times. The pain disappeared in an instant. Disappeared, leaving Gaia who returned to the real world with a blank look.
“What happened?”
“Ti-no, I'm fine. Can we continue?”
Eiji thought for a moment, there was no way he would continue. Just that, the reaction Gaia released was like that. Especially if it continued, he did not want to be responsible if Gaia's life was in danger. Perhaps, he was accused by the police of committing criminal acts against Gaia.
“Kurasa .…”
“Please, please continue. I don't mind any money Eiji sir wants to ask for.”
What the fuck is that face. Eiji imagined a helpless angel who was asking him for help. Both of Gaia's hands were holding her hands until it managed to shed sweat.
Smooth, soft. A hand full of simplicity. Is Eiji able to withstand this? Perhaps he would have justifiably rejected Gaia's request, but not in conscience.
“Ya-ya already, but the risk is I do not bear.”
Anyone would know, too, the motive behind the words coming out of that blushing face. Eiji was actually trying to lie to Gaia, Eiji's concern was also very great on Gaia's safety. But yes, the innocent Gaia just nodded because she had agreed to her request.
“But, explain to me what happened to you earlier?”
“I don't know either, but somehow when Mr. Eiji offended the dress .. my head was like something was entering.”
Eiji pondered for a moment, he was about to discuss with himself.
“Dimassessed something? What possession? But suddenly his body could reject the incoming spirit forcibly. Moreover, my sixth sense did not catch any creatures that existed or were going towards Gaia.”
Feeling that there was no answer, Eiji decided to ask.
“Do you remember what happened to you when you were five years old and under? Otherwise, do you have any photos when you were that old?”
“That's what I always ask from childhood. But my mom and dad can't answer, they always reply with ‘later you'll know, when you exceed your limits’. Though, until now I do not know the answer.”
“Does that mean ... They're not your parents?”
Gaia's eyes widened, she remembered something.
“Ahh yes, at that time I do not know why my mouth spontaneously said ‘Do not mock the name given my step parents’. Those are the spontaneous words coming out of my mouth.”
Suddenly Eiji's body creeps. I just hold it until I stand up. He could not bear the weight of the body, so he decided to sit back.
“Co-try to take another look at this second stanza.”
Gaia alone until the astonishment made.
“What's the matter Eiji?”
“That's because .. they're all here.”
Gaia looked at the situation around her. There was nothing, probably because Gaia did not have a sixth sense like Eiji. All he saw were ancient items that were ornaments of the room, besides he did not see the strange thing Eiji was talking about.
“They can only be seen by his family members.”
Gaia's head came back, she gasped at Eiji's words.
“Who does sir Eiji mean?”
“Family Natsuki.”
Gaia realized something from Eiji's words. He took the initiative to retreat, to run away from this place. He did not want this to happen again.
“More precisely haram family.”
Wait, Gaia stopped for a moment. He was curious about that sentence. His legs advanced back, he moved based on instinct. His instincts thought, Gaia has come this far, where perhaps the golden opportunity will be released again.
“What ... do you mean?”
“I am an illegitimate child of that family. More precisely, the result of the affair of one of the Natsuki family members with an outsider.”
Eiji no longer cared about the creatures watching them. He forced himself to stand up. He had been tired of covering up that fact all along.
“After all who cheated on their side was a woman, so it's certain I wasn't considered.”
“So well.”
Gaia was a bit uneasy, not knowing the truth she had already accused Eiji of being non-existent.
“Haaah come on, no papa. We continue?”
“What will those creatures harm you if we continue?”
“The one I should be worried about is you. Because they came because of you.”
As soon as Gaia creeps again, a creepy sensation again seizes her. But take it easy, he covered it perfectly. It was just that the shadow as he went to Natsuki's onsen, came back ringing.
“I want to find out about the sentence in this first line.”
Gaia saw what Takezawa was pointing at.
“Indeed not as sweet as your name?”
It was then that Gaia remembered Yoki's words. The hope Yoki meant was sweet. That means, Gaia just look for a name that means sweet.
“What do you mean we will look for a name that has a sweet meaning?”
“Fast. But, a name that has such meaning is very much.”
“Uhm, this paper is written in ancient Greek, maybe the name comes from the country of greece.”
Binggo, a quick and precise thought. That way, Eiji can be helped. The spirit of the two of them re-emerged, after declining due to the disturbance earlier.
“Nice, there is also a point you are here.”
Gaia just smiled proudly.
“Alright, we will search on internet.”
Just a few sentences typed, the browser they use has penetrated the entire world. All the information gathered on one screen, Eiji just sorted out the site he wanted.
“There are a few names anyway, I can't be sure.”
“Anu, can I record the names?”
“Please.”
Gaia was still busy finishing her notes, while Eiji was focusing on the translation.
“Your hand is light in the blood ..”
Suddenly comes a deep sense of fear and uneasiness from Eiji. He felt it after reading the second and fourth lines. The two lines kept on repeating, until there was something odd in mind.
There are several possibilities that can be concluded here. Even the cruelest possibility had been thought of by Eiji.
“What's up?”
“Ahh ... no-no, I just ... is not focusing only.”
Gaia did not believe, after all the acting that Eiji had done since then was very bad.
“Tell aja sir, please.”
“Haaah .. well, in the second and fourth rows it's like something terrible is written. I think this second verse is about someone. If I mean roughly from top to bottom .…”
Eiji was not strong enough to talk about it. Although only a possibility, but the possibility will sound very terrible. The person just now Gaia had already shown such a reaction, when she mentioned about the dress.
“There is a girl whose name means sweet. The girl was still a child, but she had already sold her soul to lust. Lust here I guess lust kills because the second verse says she's light in blood.”
