The Cursed Bloodline
The Journey Home

(Skip time 3 months)

The weather in Hoshi Country looks friendly. Laitan looks calm with blue clouds adorning the horizon. With a beautiful view of the beach, Mirai and Shiyuu are getting ready to board the ship to return to the Land of Sora

3 Months passed quickly since Young Master Hoshi's operation took place. In order to maintain peace between the two countries, Mirai is tasked with caring for Hotaru until it is fully recovered

Before Mirai boarded the ship, Hotaru invited Mirai to have a 4-eye talk with her. They finally went to one of the beach fringes nearby. The sea breeze was scorching Mirai's long hair. For the last time he tried to remember this calming atmosphere in his mind. Long ago, only silence adorned him and Hotaru

"What are you taking me here Hotaru?"

Mirai broke the silence. Mirai just followed where the number one in Hoshi went. He didn't know what the man was going to say

Hotaru who had been standing frozen in front of Mirai was now looking at the girl standing behind her. Their positions face each other.

"Mirai, will you stay here? I don't want you to come home and I'm back alone in this place. If you stay here, I can hear your scolding every day. You can also hit me and joke like always.

Tell you what, just be my wife, how? " hotaru said with a sinless smile. The word married seemed to be very lightly coming out of his mouth.

" Married to me, hm? "

He looked at Mirai's face expectantly. Although he had to bow a little because of Mirai's height, a smile seemed to adorn his face

Mirai just looked at the handsome face in front of her flat, she then pressed her hand against Hotaru's forehead and went down to her chest (Mirai Mode santuy)

"You don't have a fever. Your surgery wound is fine too. Trus what's the problem? " Mirai tilted her head, while holding her chin. He was very confident there was no post-operative effect

" problem? "asked Hotaru no less curious

" THAT MEANS, NO PROBLEM! WHY ARE YOU SAYING SUCH CRAZY THINGS, HOTARU! "

Mirai was the only girl in this world who dared to shout right in front of the face of the ruler of the 1/3 continent. Hotaru just put on a look could have been after that loud rejection, while scratching the back of her head

" So you don't want to. You also refuse to stay in Hoshi's castle? All your needs will be borne by me. Even I'll make a big hospital here, if you become my wife, right? "

Mirai just patted his head slowly, how could a leader of a Country, be so naive with his feelings. Mirai holds Hotaru's hand, directing her to feel her own heartbeat

" Listen Hotaru, though I'm not very good at romance. At least you can tell this apart

Feel your own heartbeat, if you really want me to be your wife, then you should love me. At least you like me, right? Now, is your heart racing?

Someone you really like, if you're just in front of him, your heart will keep beating fast" Mirai said

Hotaru follows Mirai's advice, stares at Mirai and begins to feel her own heartbeat

"I.... Flavors...... My heart is beating normally now. Is there maybe a disorder? " Mirai could only sigh deeply

" No abnormalities, your heart is 100% back to normal. If your heart doesn't beat for me. That means you don't really like me. If you like me you'll feel blood running down your face, in other words your face will be flushed red! " Hotaru nodded in understanding

" Oh.... That's so..... But why is it that every time I'm with you, I feel happy. If it's not a feeling of like.... Thenwhat? "

" I don't know. Maybe you consider me your friend, for 3 months I've been here, you really don't have any close friends....

Maybe you're comfortable, 'cause I'm your first friend. I felt the same way when I first had a friend. So then.... You're too plain Hotaru, to distinguish friend's feelings or special feelings....... " Hotaru looked at the blue sea in front of him

" A friend of mine ? But if you say my heart beats. If I meet the girl I like? " hotaru said with a bright look, as if he was thinking of someone

" Hm..... Sure oes. Wait for. Is there someone who makes you fast, heh? Try to think of someone! " Mirai started to tease Hotaru

Hotaru was only slightly sculpting, she thought of that 'someone. Quickly he shook his head

" It's impossible! " His heart was beating hard, even just thinking about it

" So all this time, my heart was beating not because of my illness, it was because of me. "inner Hotaru.

" N-no way! " Hoyaru shouted in frustration, then he left Mirai just like that while holding his head. Mirai

" Hey! Why did you leave..... Hotaru! Oye! "

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

Mirai prepared to get on the ship and return home. He and Shiyuu first bowed before Hotaru and the Elders

" Tell the chairman of Zen, thank me for the help of Sora Country.

Starting today, Hoshi promised to continue to establish cooperative relations and maintain peace. We will also forget the events of Fuu Village" Hotaru said

During this time, Mirai found uniqueness in Hotaru. Funny thing is Hotaru in every official assignment or in front of his subordinates he seems very wise and authoritative. But when in front of Mirai he did not keep his attitude, and instead showed his naive attitude like a boy

Maybe that's what makes Hotaru misunderstood, he considers Mirai as his close friend just as a special feeling. With the outspoken sikao Mirai of course he would misinterpret his feelings

"Thank you, Tsuyu. " Mirai also received the parcel

Mirai looked at Hotaru's bumbling face, standing next to Tsuyu. Hotaru who had just turned her head to the girl standing next to her also turned her gaze away - awkward.

Mirai only sighed, looking at those two Hoshinya friends

Huh...... One did not confidently admit his feelings......

Which one...... It was too naive, to feel the person who had been there for her, that made her heart beat.

A crazy idea runs through Mirai's brain. With a meaningful smile he shook Tsuyu's hand tightly

"Sure Brother Shiyuu! Come visit Sora sometime. I'll get to know some handsome dashing men in Military uniform there, how? " Mirai begins to heat up Hotaru. Tsuyu did not understand what Mirai meant, he just went with the flow

" he..... Really Mirai? Could they be interested in me? " said Tsuyu shyly

" Of course! ...... They're not 'naive men who don't know their own feelings'. Perhaps seeing this look of yours, they will immediately ask you out on a date with Brother Tsuyu! "

Mirai also smiled cunningly, while looking at Hotaru's face that began to tighten

"Mirai! Let's Ride! " shiyuu said as she walked towards him, she was busy discussing something with the Hoshi elders

"Good senpai! " Mirai started walking towards Shiyuu. However, his steps stopped when Tsuyu called out to him

" Oh yes Mirai! As a sign of my gratitude, I will look for the person you said yesterday. Trust me! " tsuyu said as she waved at Mirai

"Hm....... Good brother Tsuyu........ Bye bye! "

Mirai waved her hand, then in reply Tsuyu and Hotaru. Their ship began to leave the port. Tsuyu was about to leave from there, but suddenly Hotaru asked Tsuyu.

"Nn. Tsuy. Are you really going to visit Sora? " hotaru said in a formal tone as usual

" Hm... Of course Mr. Hotaru. I promised Mirai something! "

"Whatis that? " Hotaru was curious. Tsuyu smiled gently. Of course, he did not want to share the secret with Hotaru

" It's our secret as women" Tsuyu said as she left Hotaru. Makes the man worried

"Is Mirai seriously going to introduce men to Tsuyu? " rumptious Hotaru. He soon followed Tsuyu's steps

" Wait Ms. Tsuy..... How did you leave your boss? "

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

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

Aora quickly jumped among the trees. In a forest that is quite scary, Aora conducts a mission alone on the direct orders of Zen's chairman.

The forest was the Demon Forest, the place where Tengu castle was located. For three months now, Aora has been investigating the case of two mysterious men who attacked the bandit boss.

Due to a long-standing case, Aora had difficulty finding information. Witnesses such as the bandit boss leave the castle because trauma makes Aora have to work extra track their whereabouts

Red Cops also contributed to hide the information they can. They deliberately destroyed various evidence inside the castle in order for Chairman Zen to have trouble

Aora landed on an empty field, in the middle of the Demon Forest.

"I feel something here. But so far, there is nothing in front of me" Aora muttered

Realizing that there was something strange in the field, Aora activated her Gyokunya magic. He also created streams of red lightning, which formed a huge sword in his hand. His eyes turned bright red. The shadow of the large castle is clearly visible from its special eyes. The enemy seems to be hiding their headquarters very well

"I've guessed, it turns out that the place is protected by a sealed protector! "

Trrrrrrrsssss...........

A loud electric sound rang out from Aora's electric sword. He swung the sword, and destroyed the protector that had been hiding Tengu's base all along.....

Trassssss.........

Aora split the protector apart, as soon as the magic power broke and revealed a majestic castle before her eyes. Without the slightest fear, Aora entered the creepy castle

"Who exactly is the person who lives in a creepy place like this? " murmurm Aora

...----------------...

(Help Aora: the girl you're buncini with.... Ever stayed there tau😒)

And why are all the men in Mirai's world plainly overstepping...... Rou, Hotaru, Aora, Yora and even Ten
