The Cursed Bloodline
Aora or Hotaru

The sound of one's footsteps resounded in the basement of the Red Cops Headquarters. The animal-masked man was now approaching the two Red Cops headquarters guards, a guard who was quite young judging from his physique

"Who are you? " said the guard who looked like he was a child. He swiftly blocked the masked man

" Wait! let him through! " said a man wearing a mask in the form of a god of death. He also gave access to a cat masked man passing by

"Is there anything we can help you with, Young Master Ten? " say the masked man. Ten took off the cat mask that covered his face. At first glance he glanced at the young warrior in front of him

"I just want to see your chief! " Say Ten. This time his warm smile disappeared, only the flat face that Ten showed

"The chairman's on business, if there's anything I can convey directly"

"No mood, I can be alone" Ten said as he walked past the guard. On the way to Tanuki's room, Ten smiled wryly to find the young soldier who had only been in his teens that year was dragged into the dark hole made by Tanuki

"Even he is still using a child, for the sake of fulfilling his greed! " Ten passed from there

The guard started to wonder about Ten's figure, then he asked the senior

"Who is senior? "

" He is the only son of Mr. Tanuki, he is predicted to be the successor to the Red Cops. Although his identity is kept secret against the village. But for the Red Cops, he is our Master" said the Captain

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

Tanuki walked towards his room. He was surprised, when he opened his room, a familiar figure was waiting for him.

"You come to visit often, Ten. " said Tanuki as he walked to his desk. Ten approached his father, then pulled out a brown envelope

"It's..... The results of the Fuu Village investigation, I leave it to you. The rest you can take care of yourself the trouble you caused! " Looking at the brown envelope her son had given her, Tanuki smiled in satisfaction

"Had I guessed, I could count on my son. Being on Zen's side, it seems that trust in you is already great! " said Tanuki satisfied. Tanoa ignoring Tanuki's words, Ten began to leave the room. Before he opened the door, he turned to look at his father

"You just keep your promise, don't touch Yume. And also..... How come, a person like you has a friend as great as the Zen master? " said Ten while leaving the place

"Sometimes you have to be ready to stab your best friend for your cause. Sacrificing something to get your goal. That's what I taught you, as your father" Tanuki muttered to himself.

Night began to decorate the sky in Hoshi village. Mirai tries to get out of her room, she wants to get some fresh air while enjoying the beautiful night view of Hoshi Village

Coincidentally Aora also came out of her room, the moment their gaze met. Aora seemed to turn her gaze elsewhere. Honestly, Aora did not know where to start the conversation with Mirai from. He knew his attitude was too hasty. It was possible that Mirai felt uneasy about Aora's sudden confession. It will create an awkward atmosphere between them

"Emmm.... About it this afternoon....... " Mirai instantly interrupted Aora's words

" You were so drunk by noon, Aora, that your mind was screwed! I assume, I didn't listen to anything! "

Aora only agreed to Mirai, for her it was too soon to express her feelings now. Especially in the middle of an important mission like this. A moment Shiyuu broke the silence between the two of them

"You guys here apparently, I happen to be hungry. How about we get some food first? " said Shiyu. Shiyuu's arrival finally broke the awkwardness between Mirai and Aora. They threw them out of their inn

In the Loby inn, there was a pale blue-haired man waiting for them. That person was Hotaru. It had been a long time since he had waited for the arrival of Mirai and the others

With a few guards, Hotaru greeted Mirai and his entourage

"Welcome to Hoshi Country. I'm sorry I can't welcome you guys" he said politely. As captain Shiyuu also returned Hotaru's greeting

"Hallo Mr. Hotaru, it's good to see you" Shiyuu replied as he bowed

"For now don't be Formal to me. Here I am just a friend who welcomes you into my home." Hotaru's vision is now fixed on Mirai and Aora

"Aora and Mirai how are you? "

" We are in good shape" said the two compact. Hotaru turned back, she spoke to her 3 bodyguards

"Now that I'm going with my friend, you can watch me from afar! " said. The hooded bodyguard immediately disappeared from that place. After all his bodyguards left, Hotaru also showed her the reason for approaching the messenger Sora

"All right! I'll show you Hoshi Village" Hotaru said

They also walked through the magnificent city known as the center of Hoshi Village. No different from Sora Village, the beautiful village looks crowded, especially at night. The villagers greeted the passing Hotaru, they warmly gave their greetings while showing respect to its young leader

"Good night" Hotaru replied as she continued to smile kindly. Aora, Shiyu and Mirai noticed the hospitality of the leader of the Hoshi Country. They did not think, behind Hotaru's rigid hammer, he turned out to be a friendly leader to his people

"You are greatly respected by your people, sir" Shiyuu said

"For me, they are my own family. It should be warm to our family members, right? " reply Hotaru while walking towards a magnificent restaurant building at the end of the road

"I'll take you to one of the fine restaurants here. I want to entertain you guys who come from far away"

Mirai looked around the place, there was one place that interested her. A small Shusi shop with quite a lot of customers. He stops Hotaru from entering the luxury store

"From you taking us to a formal, boring restaurant. How about you treat us there? " mirai said as she pointed at the shop. Hotaru's gaze hesitated a little, seeing that Shiyuu instantly made Mirai aware of whatever Hotaru had to offer. Moreover, he is not an ordinary person in this place. It is very rude to do as he pleases

"Look at that place, it's too crowded for Mr. Hotaru Mirai. He may be uncomfortable. Where should we go, hm? "

"I'm a guest here, you should obey your guests' wishes, right, Hotaru? " mirai said as she headed for the store.

Shiyuu and Aora looked worried. They were compactly staring at Hotaru. Hotaru could only put on a smile with the look of 'What can be done'

The bustling Sushi Shop, all the gazes of visitors are now fixed on the figure of the village leader They suddenly visited.

With the owner's special service, they can enjoy fresh seafood in the form of Sushi and Sasimi are many and diverse. Mirai greedily ate the good food in front of her, another case with Aora and Shiyuu who put an unpleasant face to the Young leader in front of her.

Semenyara Hotaru, could only look at the food in front of her without touching it. Mirai took a piece of Sushi Tuna, she dipped it in Suyu sauce and gave it to Hotaru

"Sorry Mirai. I don't like seafood, especially raw fish! " Hotaru tried to reject Mirai's offer

"Eat! And spend! " mirai said as she offered the sushi, even feeding Hotaru. Seeing the Mirai treatment. Aora, she just put on a sour face. Hotaru continued to shake her head, she refused the Bribe from Mirai

"Fastly eat Hotaru! or I'll put a live fish in your mouth! " mirai said with a look of Horror. Wanting to not, Hotaru opened her mouth. Receiving a bribe from Mirai and swallowing it forcibly

"At least, these foods are good for your heart. Eat fast, my hands start to ache because you refused my feed. Just like you I don't like raw food like this. But it's a nutritious food, especially for you! "

Hotaru was stunned, Mirai even ate a food that she did not like, in order to make Hotaru eat it

Hotaru began to open her mouth, she accepted the second bribe Mirai offered her. Of course, the scene is a hot concern for residents there.

Aora is now in an extraordinary level of jealousy, wanting to feel like she pulled Mirai out of there. He was jealous of Hotaru.

"Good..... Eat a lot! " Mirai started putting more Sushi on Hotaru Plates. Despite the weight, Hotaru again ate the Sushi.

They also spend time enjoying the night atmosphere in Hoshi Village

"See you soon, tomorrow you will be picked up by one of my messengers to my house. That's where the meeting will take place" said Hotaru who wants to split with the Mirai troupe

"Alright Mr. Hotaru, Thank you all for today" Shiyuu said as he bowed

"No. I'm the one who should be grateful. Especially you Mirai! " said Hotaru while smiling gently. Mirai gave a small parcel of medicine

"Drink this, this medicine will help you digest all foods. If you're suspicious, you can ask people to check the contents inside. Usually for foods that you rarely eat, can make you stricken with indigestion.

I don't want to be arrested for forcing their leader to eat food and getting their leader diarrhea! " mirai joked with her flat look. Hotaru simply smiled, she received the small gift

"Well Mirai, I believe you. Thanks medicine! See you tomorrow! "

Aora who had just put on a sour look, pulled Mirai's hand "Then I'll see you tomorrow! " So he went with Mirai. Amidst their journey, Aora glanced at Mirai with her sour look. Mirai's treatment to Hotaru, makes Aora jealous and wants Mirai's attention as well

"Mirai you didn't give me medicine either? "

" For you, I think your stomach is too thick so it can digest well even if you eat quickly. Of course, to hide your face! " said Mirai ketus. Aora stopped her steps, this time she looked straight at Mirai

"Then, you can check my stomach, is it really thick and fatty! " Mirai took her hand off from Aora's grasp, then left Aora

"As far as you are Aora! " said Mirai lazily while Waving her hands. Aora does not give up until she gets Mirai's attention

"Are you so curious about my face? , I'll give you a look. Just tell me! " shouted Aora

"No! " said Mirai who started to move away

"But. If you see him, get ready you have to pay him! " say, said Aora Ambigu
