Sign of the Zodiac: Aries
[Sign 3: Gemini] Home

The light in every house is back on. The streets were no longer dark and Chiara could now see her hands turning into metal. The girl was at a loss for words. He could only be horrified because he did not understand what had happened to his body.

“How did you do it?” Suddenly an unfamiliar voice sounded from above Chiara's head.

The girl looked up, still with a look of confusion. A silver-haired young man jumped down from the roof of a building near Chiara. Apparently Altan.

“A, Altan .. ,” moans Chiara helplessly. His two hands were still fused in the form of an iron ball. But somehow the iron did not feel heavy at all.

“Wait. You know me?” Altan asked back.

At first glance Chiara forgot that she was now in disguise. Altan did not recognize him. Even so he decided to tell the young man Giyatsa honestly. It's like this already.

“It's me. Kara. The man you saved the other day. In the room. A diabos entered my room at midnight,” Chiara stammered.

Altan scrunched his forehead for a moment while observing Chiara from top to bottom. The girl's appearance had completely changed. Even Chiara's dark hair had now turned gray.

“If you don't believe me, I can prove it. It's just makeup,” Chiara continued to try to convince.

Altan shook his head slowly while smiling. “Not so. I trust you. Although your appearance changes, but you have the same aroma.”

“A ... rome?” tanya Chiara hesitated. He was wearing a different perfume before he left. Ah, but the main problem now is not that. He had to give back his hand that became this strange thing.

“Anu, Altan .. Do you know why my hand is like this? How to restore it?” moaning Chiara.

Altan walked over. “This is the first time I saw a human hand turn into a barbed iron bat. Are you ..”

Altan's sentence is broken. When Altan was close enough to Chiara, suddenly the two girls' hands gradually recovered. The spiked iron ball vanished and Chiara's two tiny hands had already returned.

“He's back! Thank you Altan!” pekik Chiara glee. Unknowingly the girl jumped up and hugged Altan tightly.

“Eh, uh .. To be honest I don't know what happened either,” Altan said awkwardly.

Chiara immediately realized her actions and hurriedly broke away from Altan. “Gosh! Ii'm sorry. I panicked half to death. Then suddenly the strange thing disappeared as you approached. So I'm just too happy,” he said blushing in embarrassment.

Altan smiled gently. “It's okay. But next time you'd better not just hug a new guy. It can be dangerous.”

Chiara nodded with a reddened face.

“So your name is Kara?” ask Altan.

Chiara nodded once more.

“Why are you wandering around night-night?”

“I just want to go home. My work is done longer than usual,” let Chiara find an excuse. He could not possibly explain that he had just returned from the gambling establishment.

“Oh so. Next time you have to go home before dark. Now, let me accompany you home,” bargain Altan.

Chiara. It had been a long time since he had met this young man. Every meeting involves unexpected events. I don't know why Chiara became so curious about Altan. Let alone his changed hand earlier was also related to this young man. He was completely inexhaustible as to why his hand could turn into a spiked iron ball. This doesn't make any sense at all.

Altan laughed a little. “It feels like you are used to inviting men into your room.”

“Eh, that's not what I meant. I'm just curious. Every time you meet, there are always unexpected events.” Chiara is trying to make her tone as normal as possible. He hides an incredible shame.

“I've been busy chasing choru lately. The people I'm looking for are their hunts. So I thought that by following them, I could meet that person. Strangely, the two choruses that I love brought me to you. And the incident was ... ” Altan said as he glanced at Chiara's two clutched hands.

Chiara noticed Altan's gaze and brushed him aside. “Hah? You think I'm a Zodiac Warrior? Where possible. I'm just a commoner from a poor family,” he looks fast.

“Your appearance is now much more luxurious than most residents of Forex,” Altan comments bluntly.

Chiara was wrong again. “Ah, this is due to work.

“Is that? I'm a little curious about your work. Especially after you easily invited me into your room every night,” the seductive Altan with his ignorant smile.

Chiara blushed again. “No. Nope. My work is completely different from what you imagine now. Not like that!” exclaim Chiara panicked.

Altan laughed a little. “Well, it's your business anyway. But still I was interested in how your hand could turn into a barbed iron mace. It was impossible to do by ordinary people.”

“I also don't know why it could be like that. This is the first time I've experienced this. When I was attacked by the Diabos, my mind was suddenly very confused. And I just threw my bag of money away ..” Suddenly Chiara realized something. “Wait. Where's my money bag?” pekiknya.

Chiara turned around and swept her gaze all over the place. He realized that his money was not in his hands. It's a real nightmare. The money was the result of his hard work all day, after one week he made nothing. Chiara would rather die than lose the money.

“You mean that kumal cloth bag that looks heavy earlier?” ask Altan.

“Iya! Did you see it?”

“It looks like it fell not far from where you were attacked by choru. Maybe it was thrown when your hand turned into a barbed iron mace.”

“I have to go back and take it,” Chiara said confidently.

The girl also galloped back down the road she had been through earlier. Luckily the money bag is still intact, bogged down on the side of the stone road without reducing in the slightest. Chiara let out a sigh of relief and hugged the money bag as if it was her most precious treasure.

“Looks like you got a lot of money while working,” comments Altan who follows Chiara from behind.

“This is like my life. I can die if I don't have money,” Chiara said without the slightest doubt.

Altan grunting ticklish. “You really are an interesting girl, Kara.”

“I take that as a compliment, Altan.”

“Of course it's a compliment.”

The two of them walked back down the stone road to Chiara's house. It seemed like that night he couldn't go to the antique shop to look for Rein. Chiara just stopped by the edge of the market and approached a large tub of water to remove her makeup. She threw away her fancy clothes because she still had a lot of other fancy dresses. Chiara now only uses a shabby cloth that she found hanging in the clothesline of one of the residents' house.

Altan watched her change appearance without much comment. Perhaps the young man felt that Chiara's personal life was none of his business. Whatever it was, Chiara really felt grateful to Altan. Besides because he did not ask much, also because Altan had twice saved his life. Chiara was indebted to Altan and promised to repay him someday. Somehow.
