The Cursed Bloodline
The Enemy becomes a partner

Taps..... Taps..... Tap

Aora, Mirai, Rou and Hanna jumped through the branches of the trees with body-shifting magic techniques. A basic technique that military men must master. They can move fast even with distances tens of kilometers away. They landed on one side of the cliff, with a view of the small village below.

"Alright I'll explain the mission that the Zen master gave us. This mission, is a joint mission between the Land of Sora and the Land of Hoshi.

As I said, this joint mission is aimed at investigating the case in Fuu Village. The two countries concerned have an agreement to conduct a joint investigation" said Aora

"Why should we cooperate with the Hoshi Nation? Given the dark history of the past, they are the most suspicious here! " said Rou, he still does not accept doing the joint mission given to him. Moreover, his partner is a former mortal enemy of Sora

From the direction of the Forest, two people suddenly intruded Rou's words. A pale blue-haired man, after all another. The large-bodied man with brownish hair started walking towards Rou and the others. The two men were dressed in Hoshi Military, complete with star symbols embedded in their right arms

" Isn't it unfair to accuse Hoshi's side of being based on one-sided statements? " Say one of the men.

The man looked not too far away in age with Aora, et al. His sea-blue eyes stared calmly at his interlocutor, though he heard something not too pleasant about his country

" Who are you? " asked Mirai to the man who suddenly appeared, especially the man with eyes as blue as the ocean in front of him.

The man did not respond to what Mirai asked. As for Aora, she was aware of who the mysterious man she was facing was right now

" Minna, he is the supreme leader of Hoshi Country. Name's Hotaru. He will join our team from now on! " obviously Aora

Everyone looked at Hotaru, the man in a simple blue and white military uniform. And a star emblem was seen on his right arm. He was the supreme leader of Hoshi. It could be said that the ruler of that Great Country

"How can the leader of his country intervene on his own? Hoshi must have had another intention! " said Rou still considers the man in front of her as an enemy

" It is possible, I will intervene if my country is slandered and on the brink of war! " reply Hotaru. With a simple but piercing answer while staring at Rou coldly. The situation began to heat up, Aora as the dreamer of the squad began to break up

" Once Rou, we're here to work together between Sora and Hoshi to uncover the Fuu village incident. Hotaru is not a state official here, but Hoshi's envoy who came to correct the misunderstanding of Hoshi's State Suspicion involved in this case.

And for you Hotaru, in the joint team we won't consider you special. To us you are just an ordinary team member, with no difference. Did you accept it? Hotaru's? " saying Aora

Hotaru only smiled faintly, to her the people in front of her were the first people who did not hesitate to face her. There is no Mr. emblem or other sign of honor that is usually embedded in front of his name. Hotaru is becoming more interested in her new team

" Never prolong the unimportant affair. We'd better start this mission, and make it a boring one. Our job will only be to catch the jerk who wiped out Yuhee village

Oh Yeah! Don't expect us to respect you, here we are on the same level! " sternly Mirai while staring at Hotaru was no less cold.

Only a small smile was shown the man in front of him. For Hotaru, please join the team without this courtesy

"Well, me and my partner Juzo will join this investigation team and you..... " Hotaru looked at Aora. He did not know any of the other team-mates

" You're the captain appointed by Zen's chairman for this mission, right? I beg for cooperation"

Not as it looks, Hotaru is so cute and cold. Instead of having the other side, he is very respectful with his interlocutors, regardless of the other members. His calm voice coupled with the aura of a powerful leader, no doubt that he was the ruler of a great country like Hoshi

"It's an honor to lead this team. All right, we're gonna start this mission. I'll introduce the Sora team. Mirai, Rou, and Hanna. Two Medical teams and one Sensor team. While I am Aora, their captain" Aora said as she introduced her Team

"Please cooperate "reply Mirai, Rou and Hanna compact.

" Please cooperate" Hotaru and Juzo replied.

Gabunga team has been in shape. For the first time Sora and Hoshi are on a joint mission to uncover a case of mass destruction in Fuu village

......................

They began to enter the quiet Fuu village area, the village that was famous for its scenery and friendly residents turned into a dark village.

They walked towards the center of the village, where the blasting occurred. The village died, where hundreds of people died in a short time

"It seems that the incident happened so quickly" concluded Mirai, while paying attention to the conditions around him

" That's how. Even there are still some things left that show that this village has a life like other villages" said Aora while picking up fruit that fell around the incident. The fruit is still very fresh in one of the shops. That means the attack didn't damage anything, but it could kill hundreds of lives.

They could only stare at the deserted village with concerned gazes. Hotaru began to speak up about what she was seeing right now

All of that is purely to protect our country, not to harass other countries. The mistake of our predecessors, waging war on the land of Sora. But, all that was just a bitter past, change must have happened.

I do not want the war to be repeated, during my leadership I tried to make peace and correct the mistakes of my predecessors, especially the big mistakes made by my father first" Hotaru assured

"I respect that, to protect the peace the joint team made. If Hoshi is really not involved, I hope this teamwork will uncover the truth behind this incident" Aora said

They are seen as two leaders who are fully responsible for the salvation of their respective countries. After dissolving with silence and the atmosphere of the village gripping. They finally started an investigation

"All right..... I'll divide into 2 Teams to look for traces and evidence that we can use to catch the perpetrator. The sensor team is much needed here.

The first team, with Rou as the sensor, Hanna and Juzo will join. Isn't Hotaru a sensor type too? You will join me and Mirai ", concluded Aora

" You can rely on the power of my sensors, and Jozu is a specialist in tracking! " said Hotaru while pointing at the tall burly man beside her.

"Alright, Team one left the western part of the village, and Timku was in the Eastern part. We will gather here again at sunset" Aora said

"Everything's split! "

Taps..... Taps.....

They also disappeared

......................

Aora's team arrives at a vast lake located not far from Fuu village, they will begin an investigation from there.

" I'll start combing this daeranh! " said Hotaru began to activate her Gyoku

A gust of Wind shot out from his palm and began to spread to as many corners of the area. Hotaru's eyes closed, focusing her concentration on her tracking wind element

"My wind power will track strange objects around here, there is nothing to hide from my magical wind, for that accuracy can reach 99%" explained Hotaru

Mirai tries to see the situation around him, comparing what he needs to develop the parasite

" I know, to develop a parasitic insect, it will need a living body medium first.

Insects will multiply in the body of a person who is a host and begin to produce eggs when finished consuming the energy of the person's body. By using the control seal, the user can install and release eggs in the host body with the help of victims or other bodies that have been fitted with the previous seal" explained Mirai

"So we just need to find the host's body first? " ask Aora

" Hn..... Particularly, the insect can only breed inside the body of a magic-powered military person. Before the host's body runs out of energy and explodes, the user will draw toxic blood mixed with eggs from the host's body

But the risk, the host will die even though he can still be saved. His body would dry up and die slowly

Yes....it is not strange because for a purpose they are willing to sacrifice someone's life" concluded Mirai

"I guessed it, you're a different girl than you look! " She said Hotaru who still continues to focus on her magic, but her gaze was directed to Mirai. The girl is different, so Hotaru becomes interested in Mirai

"Of course. "reply Mirai flat.

The successful one made Aora start to worry, not because of the case, but Hotaru who looked at Mirai with a 'strange' gaze according to him

"Let's..... Looks like I found something" Hotaru said as she turned to one of the corners around the lake.

"Come with me! "

They also headed to the direction that Hotaru pointed, Turn Them in a cave located right next to the lake, they found a corpse that dried up in it

"I-it..... Isn't a person's body, but why is it like this? " Said Aora did not believe what she saw

" It happened because the essence of his body was sucked out "Mirai limbs who know very well, because the insect system was similar to his 'secret' ability. A special ability to suck a person's soul to death

" Wait a minute....... Whatisit? " show Hotaru
