The Cursed Bloodline
What's Yora's Life Like?

In a room that was quite spacious, there was a silhouette of a man with a body full of scars. Water was still dripping on the black hair framing his handsome face. A black fox tattoo appears on Xio's right arm,

the distinctive tattoo belongs to the white cloud cops of Sora Village

Xio with the origin rubbed his hair that was still wet after taking a bath.

"What's up, Yuri? "

His heavy voice rang out, he could feel Yuri's existence from behind the door of his room

" Can I come in, Yora? " says the voice from behind the door

" Eh. Come inside! "

The sound of the door being opened, a red-haired woman with glasses framed her eyes as beautiful as her ruby crystal. Aware of the sight before him, Yuri immediately turned her face away. A red tinge was clearly visible on his cheeks

"What's wrong? " say Xio flat

How Yuri did not ngebluss, Xio himself after the bath only wore long black pants, with his upper body exposed. He casually told Yuri to go into his room

" at...... I just wanted to ask, where is the nearest market here? You know I didn't bring anything from Mizu Country"

Xio moved from where he was standing, he picked up some clothes for him to wear.

The man's gaze was now fixed on Yuri, the girl who had been standing while ducking in front of him. His dark black eyes looked at Yuri from top to bottom, the girl who was only wearing her oversized and also very dirty robe. Xio's eyes closed for a moment

"Hn..... I shouldn't have made the Princess of a country dress like that. All right, you can come with me.... "

Yuri was surprised, he did not mean to trouble Xio or whine because he had nothing

" B-It's not like that.... I-I just want to borrow a little money.... I can go by myself. ", Yuri said as she turned her eyes away, in a voice shrinking in shame.

" LEADERS! XIO! "

A noisy voice rang out from outside the room, Zou who came in with a splash directly barged into Xio's room without knocking on his buttu. Making Yuri surprised by the arrival of the noisy man

" What's up, Zou? "

Zou who had been acting excitedly, suddenly looked at Yuri in Xio's room. He looked at the girl who was standing next to him

" What are you doing here, Tomato girl? " said Zou while narrowing

" It's not your business! " say Yuri

" gr....... Leader I want to report something to you. I found the figure that infiltrated the headquarters! "

Zou showed a homemade picture to Xio

"Gdp...... You call that a sketch of someone? It was even an even uglier image than the 5-year-old snot boy. "yuki sneered while covering her mouth holding her laughter. Zou snorted angrily towards Yuri.

" gr..... At least I tried, right? You know I'm the only one who can see through my doll, you just shut up Tomato's head! "

Zou was the one who installed the protective seal of Tengu castle, thus he was also able to see a person who smuggled into Tengu Castle. With the help of the vision of the Magic doll he installed along with the Seal (CCTV Similar)

Xio took the paper, his dark black eyes slightly surprised. Although Zou's image is destroyed, he can see a distinctive feature of the perpetrator in Zou's image.

"I even color my picture, he is a man with a fox mask. I'm sure he's from the secret Cops of Sora Village. I admit he's quite formidable, capable of breaking through the defense of my protective seal"

Xio was still speechless, he just stared at Zou's sketch without a word being said

"It seems..... Your picture is too blurry Zou..I can even draw better than that, with just my feet! " whispered Yuri mocked Zou

"Shut up...... "

" Aora?" muttered Xio quietly.

Xio could recognize the mask. To the White Cloud Cops was either the shape of a mask, color or type of beast, and the Tattoo on their hand was the personal identity of that warrior. So you could say there is no way anyone has the same characteristics

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

"Wuuah! I have never been to this market! "

Yuri's eyes sparkled, for the first time he went into the crowd. Without a look of people heading towards him. A new place where no one considers himself a mustard

Xio walked in front of Yuri, the girl was just following where Xio was going. Although his attention was fixed around the market, with a cheerful face full of smiles of his

Xio was now taking off his Typical Tengu black robe. This time he only wore a simple black kimono, which blend with the surrounding residents. Even with ordinary casual clothes, the charisma of the Tengu Leader cannot be hidden

Some people seemed to notice the handsome man with the flat face once in a while. As for Yuri, just putting on a face of admiration seeing various things on the market

Xio invites Yuri into a clothing store, Yuri can only admire the beautiful clothes on display in the store

"Welcome Mr and Miss, how can I help you? " say the shopkeeper

"Choose!" said Xio flat

"I.... Da? "say Yuri was still confused

The shopkeeper approached Yuri to help her pick out some clothes, while Xio just sat down while putting on his flat face

"Please Miss, you can try all our collections"

"Give me whatever the girl needs. "

Xio put two pieces of gold on the table, leaving Yuri and the Shopkeeper still dumbfounded. Two pieces of gold are the same as buying the entire contents of the store. Either Xio doesn't know the price or he accidentally scatters the super-rare gold

"Wahhhhh.h." said the two men compact.

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

Xio sat in a teahouse, as usual he came to a crowded place with the aim of finding an information or rumor that could be a clue for him

A tea pot, with a few pieces of cake as a filling. Calmly, Xio closed his eyes, making his sense of hearing more dominant and began to concentrate

"You knew...... The economy of Sora is increasingly declining, even though we are blessed with abundant fertile land, if we do not have enough gold, it is the same as we starve" said one customer

" Wasn't it, the Village Chief Sora was about to enter into an agreement with the Lands of Tsuki and Hoshi? I heard that Hoshi and Sora have become friendly lands! "

" I don't know...... However, will Tsuki join this agreement?

If Sora wants to save the economy, they also have to cooperate with other big countries right? What can? They have had animosity since time immemorial"

"Hmmm....... Tsuki with their mines, Sora with agricultural produce while Hoshi with marine products, as well as countries with their underwater sulfur. Wasn't the sulfur used by Tsuki to produce gold and silver? "

" right....... All countries need results from other countries. Is that not the reason why the three countries used to fight? "

" Tsuki needs Hoshi and Sora, for food in their barren rock country. While Sora and Hoshi need their Gold. Is there going to be another war? "

" Huh........ What does that have to do with ordinary people like us, it's just the business of the military people controlling it right? "

Xio listened to the conversation of the two people behind him closely. Without realizing it, Yuri was sitting in front of him while continuing to look at him in wonder

" Are you asleep, Yora? "

Xio opened his eyes, now he saw a red-haired woman, complete with a purple long-sleeved shirt.

" I told you, don't say my name at all, especially when we're in Sora. Call me Xio. "he said flat

Yuri understood, he should not have mentioned that name in Sora, no matter how Xio was a high-level fugitive Sora was

"I'm sorry.... Excuse me..... What are you doing here? "

" It's none of your business"

Yuri could only sigh, she took the cake in front of Xio without any excuse

Plaque.....

Although slowly, Xio hit Yuri's hand. He did not accept the cake taken by Yuri

"This is mine. " said Xio without changing his flat expression.

"Pelit.

Xio left Yuri again

"Can you wait for me? I can't even enjoy a glass of tea............ Oye! Mr. ice.... Where you going?....... Aish! ......."

Angrily Yuri followed where Xio was going. They enter a narrow alley, and stop at a building that looks like a creepy gambling place

There were two large-bodied people standing guard at the entrance of the old building, the frightened Yuri could only hide behind Xio. The guards lowered their heads, as if welcoming Xio's arrival

"Mr Zuryu has been waiting for you. "

Xio entered the building, with Forced Yuri to follow Xio. He was so scared to see the scenery around him

"K-Where are we going? Why go to a place of creepy people like this? "

Xio continued walking, some large-bodied people watching them as they continued to whisper. After passing through a fairly large gambling arena, they entered a dark hallway inside the old building

There were only the sound of Xio and Yuri's footsteps, crying out for silence within the dark passageway

" Are you surprised Yuri? This is my life. I can only live behind a dark shadow" Xio said as he continued walking straight

Yuri was stunned, her ruby-red eyes looking at Xio's back. Yuri could only remain silent while following where Xio was walking.

Yuri's face could not hide her fear. Although he lived with a snake demon that was far scary, it did not mean that the girl did not have fear in her.

Yuri continued to go deeper, even though her mind was only on Xio, with all the questions on the girl's mind

Actually was..... What life have you lived..... The yora?
