The curse of the Xbreed: Silverian & Blackerian
Chrysanthemum Flower Drink

Then in a hurry, Keira walked into the liquor store, through the back door. Higarashi could only let out a long sigh and looked at the little girl with a face that looked filled with worry.

Klafina noticed the look on the boy's face with a small smile.

"Are you worried about that little girl, Higarashi?" tanyakanya.

Higarashi immediately replied without turning to his mother, "The children who were along the road, groaning continuously, just because the color of his hair is different from that of humans in general. That mortal beast is really strange by its very nature!”

A man is then seen coming out of the store, walking towards Neriya, Klafina and Higarashi with three bottles of chrysanthemum juice in his hands.

The man then stood before Neriya, then said, "Excuse me, Master, Madam, and Young Master. I brought three bottles of this drink, in gratitude from myself and my wife to Young Master, after listening to the story from Keira. Ah, this drink is the result of our own chrysanthemum flower plantation. Please try. Hope you guys will love this beautiful little town even more.”

Neriya immediately received three bottles of small drinks that had been affixed to the label of paper with a picture of the chrysanthemum flowers, with a happy face.

"Of course, thank you for giving us this drink for free!" yells.

"Oh, no, sir. We are the ones who should be grateful. Ah, then, I'll go back inside. Please continue your vacation here, good luck," replied Dairu, then he smiled at Neriya, then walked back into his liquor store.

Neriya happily just gave the other two bottles to Klafina and Higarashi, then opened one of the bottles and immediately took a sip.

"The best ones are the free ones!" abugn.

The three of them then finished the free drink, then Neriya decided to go back for a walk to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the small town. However, Higarashi apparently still holds a bottle of chrysanthemum flowers that he has drunk. He then removed the label and put it in his pants pocket, then threw away the empty bottle.

The night came, and the curfew was already in effect. Inside the actual liquor store that also houses Dairu and Eleina, Keira is seen sitting on her own bed, when her adoptive parents suddenly enter her room, then stood before him with a worried face.

"Keira," said Eleina, then she approached Keira and knelt before her adopted daughter and continued, "why have you never told us that the children are always against you? Have they hurt you?”

Keira smiled slightly, then replied, "Ah, I'm used to them, Mother. You don't have to worry about me."

"It's impossible not to worry about you, Keira," said Dairu as she gently stroked Keira's hair, "in two days, your aunt Trea will come here to visit you. So, stay indoors, so that they no longer hurt you, and your smile is no longer small like that.”

Keira immediately smiled broadly as soon as she heard that her adoptive aunt, Trea, the younger sister of Eleina, was coming to the small town to visit her. Trea loved Keira very much and did visit her often, although she lived alone in a big city but it was far from the small town where the three of them live now.

“Aunt Trea is coming here? Oh my God, I miss him so much!” keira with a cheerful face.

Eleina nodded, then replied, “Of course! It's been two months he hasn't visited you, has he?”

The next day, Neriya, Klafina, and Higarashi are seen walking around in the morning, looking for good food around the small town. Higarashi watches Dairu's liquor store every time he passes by, hoping Keira will come out, but, that day, the little girl does not appear at all.

“Where did he go? Is he sick?” asked Higarashi in his heart.

Indeed, Higarashi seemed a little disappointed that he had not met Keira, however, he thought that Keira might be resting on that day. However, they continued to walk around the small town, buying a lot of non-essential items, eating different foods until nightfall and they eventually returned to the inn to rest.

Higarashi was still watching the liquor store, however, until the store closed, he did not find Keira there at all.

The next morning, when their vacation was finally over and they had to return to Planet Halida, Higarashi was seen walking slowly to the door, and was about to get out of the room alone, but apparently, Neriya woke up and stared straight at him until he had to stop his steps.

“Gosh! What's the matter, Higarashi? It's still very early in the morning!” exclaimed Neriya while still yawning wide.

“Ah, ah, I .. I am very hungry, Father,” replied Higarashi.

Clafina woke up because it was disturbed. He then looked towards Higarashi, and smiled at him.

“If you want to go alone early in the morning, go. Don't forget to come back here immediately, before we will go home,” he said slowly.

“Alright, thank you, Mother!” higarashi exclaimed with a big smile on his face.

He immediately opened the door and exited the room in a hurry, however, he did not forget to close the door again. Neriya immediately looked at Klafina with a face that looked puzzled.

“Hey, why did you let the boy go alone in the morning, honey?” tanyakanya.

Klafina chuckled for a while, then replied, “You're never young, are you?”

Neriya just let out a long breath.

Higarashi apparently did not want to take another walk in the small town. He actually watched Dairu's liquor store from a distance, until the store opened a few hours later. However, Keira was nowhere to be seen coming out of the liquor store. When the sun was already getting higher, Higarashi finally gave up because indeed, he had to return to Planet Halida on that very day.

“Where is Keira? Is he really sick?” mumbling slowly.

He then walked back to the inn, and immediately helped his parents to clean up their luggage. After exiting the inn, the three of them walked into the dense forest and left the small town, because the interplanetary train belonging to the Halida kingdom was waiting there.
