Barasa and Aster threw panicked expressions at each other. “Why are the police coming?” tanya Barasa was confused. His brain is starting to not work.
“Yeah, can be many things.” Aster glanced at Adit's item one second. “Adit, when he told me to kill people with magic, I didn't want to, but he did!”
Barasa patted his head with two hands a sign of despair. “Yes, already say so! We are not wrong! You're kidnapped!”
“Stupid we will be taken to a mental hospital if offend magic!”
“Yes, that, or counted again. How to?”
‘Shelf!!’ They had not found the answer yet, their bedroom door was smashed by two men in uniform, complete with a gun attached to their belts. Two men and one woman entered the room. The female policeman who first entered saw the room room room room of the inn with a frown in wonder. It was not too late in his head that he would find two teenagers still wearing one school uniform, another lying unconscious on the floor, and another man handcuffed by ice cubes.
“Walah, price. If in the village I was alone in the room at this hour anyway, must be immediately married, nih.” The policewoman said as she shook her head in disapproval.
“Ngak!!” Reject Barasa and Aster at the same time.
“Mending take it to the police station, Mom!” Barasa.
“We do not do anything, kok.” Aster said shaking his head tightly.
“Nothing?!” Yell at the male policeman who came in behind the female cop. “We get reports from residents and inn owners if there is a commotion from this room. There were also those who reported a fight on the back road of the inn! Then what is this?” he pointed to Harsa and Adit.
“Ee, the pack.” Barasa looked at Aster with an imploring look.
Aster let out a long breath. “I was kidnapped with her, Adit her name. Then my friends came to save me.” Obviously Aster while pointing at Harsa and Barasa. “They were fighting Adit to save me from kidnapping.”
The man's police eyebrows shot up in astonishment. “Two High School boys fight one kidnapper?”
Ignoring the man's police question, the third person who entered their room asked. “How about a live skull?”
Both Barasa and Aster could not answer. The man was the only person not wearing police uniform in the room. Instead of a gun, he carried a large machete in his belt. Aster's forehead wrinkled when he realized that in the machete there was a collection of physis. His appearance is quite striking. He was wearing a black leather jacket shirt and black leather pants. His hair was long straight tied to a horse.
“We heard there was a skull sighting witnessed by residents.” Said the man who brought the machete.
“Hush. If it was a commotion because of ghosts, we are not needed here.” Refute the man's police.
“Yes! My friends are fighting the skull made by the kidnapper!” Shouted Aster while pointing at Adit. Everyone in the room saw Aster. I just looked at him in wonder. Didn't they agree not to offend magic?
“Ih, jeez really serem dong.” Comments from female police.
“Nno! They're hilarious!” Said the police man.
The man carrying the machete looked at the old Aster, as if hesitating, but in the end he said. “This case is part of my division.”
Both the male and female police looked at the third person in surprise, yet he did not question the man's words. The two of them left the man alone with Aster and Barasa. After the two of them left, he asked. “Please tell me everything. Don't filter, no matter how weird it is.”
With confidence, Aster explained everything. Starting from how he became acquainted with Adit, to the murders committed by Adit, and how Harsa and Barasa came to save them. Throughout Aster's story, the man listened seriously. He never once interrupted Aster.
When he finished telling the story, now replace Aster who looked at the man confusedly. “What do you believe?”
“Yes, of course. I'm part of the police that handles criminal cases committed by supernatural things, even though our division is completely unofficial and always lacks people.” His explanation turned into a complaint as the man sounded increasingly tired. “Next I will arrest this man. I'm sorry, your kidnapping case will not be brought to justice at all, but I promise to seek the roots of the organization that tried to kidnap you as best I can. Thankfully, you were not kidnapped. If so, maybe no one will be able to save you. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but there's not much our division can do because we're new and it's still hard to formalize.” He said while gnawing Adit with real handcuffs. Then turned to Aster with a serious look. “You and your friend, Harsa, ask for her phone number and ID.”
“Eh, what for? Can this case cannot be disclosed both to the public and the.”
“For captions in reports in our own division. If we can prove to the superiors that cases like this happen often, it will be easier to formalize and make regulations about magic. In addition, if you want a job in magic, our division is always open to new manpower. Although the salary is small and the job is less clear, at least you will not be recruited again by the mafia to be their weapon.”
“What will I get paid?” ask Aster interested.
Aster smiled widely. “Still! Is there any educational requirement?”
The man shook his head, but then he saw Aster's clothes. “But don't drop out of school ya!”
Aster laughs. “Yes, I'll work on.”
After taking down their phone numbers and ID cards, the man picked up Adit who was still unconscious and left them. Aster and Barasa were relieved after Adit left. Not only because they were not taken to the police station, but because the man did not have to meet Adi.
When Adi came, the strong wind that was continuously crashing had stopped and in the end they were able to sleep peacefully.
The next morning Harsalah woke up first. “Uah!!” His shout was loud and instantly put the horses on alert.
“Harsa!” Both Aster and Barasa yelled happily when they found that Harsa seemed to be fine.
“Lah? Where's Adit?!” Aster recounts the events that happened when Harsa passed out.
“Wow. I don't know if there's a cop in charge of magic.” Harsa.
“Yeah, he also said it wasn't official.” Aster Stories. “But maybe I want to work there if I graduate later!”
“They're here?!” adi asked in shock, who also just found out the story. Aster and Barasa were too tired to tell Adi last night.
“Yes. Adi's sister knows?” ask Aster.
Adi shakes. “Not specific to the person, but I know such a division exists. They often appear when the King holds meetings with human leaders several times.” Adi's Story.
“Government know about fairies?” ask Aster doesn't believe it.
“Uh, yes, but we did ask that our existence is unknown to the wider community.” Answer Adi.
“Bent!” Cut Harsa saw both herself and Adi still displaying striking colored hair, then looked towards Barasa and Aster. “Then you know that Brother Adi is not an ordinary man?!”
Barasa raised his hand. “I don't want to join and I don't want to know the clarity. I'll just forget what happened yesterday.”
In contrast to Barasa, Aster nodded calmly. “Already, you do not need to dodge anymore. I promise I won't reveal your identity to anyone. I also now understand that you can be targeted by the mafia. I asked because I was curious about magic that I had never known. Then, I also can't stay still after that fairy can have a very powerful magic to cause a natural disaster. I'm afraid that my parents' death was caused by fairies. But now, I feel stupid. I realized I was just looking for things to blame for my loss for my own satisfaction. You, neither your brother, would possibly intend to cause such a natural disaster when the two of you dare to fight life to save me.”
Harsa. “Thank you, Aster, but I don't mean it. My father is.. fairy?” Harsa sees Adi unsure. Adi nodded slightly before continuing. “But my mother is human. For the previous fifteen years, I had always felt an ordinary human being. It's been recently that I feel different, but it's not until I'm not human anymore.”
Aster thought carefully about Harsa's words. “Oohhh. Sorry, if I made you feel like a monster.”
“Not so!”
“Already! It's already! Can I talk later? So we can go home soon?” Pinta Barasa's. “I can't stand to eat and shower. I also do not care how I will be scolded by my grandfather later at home!”
“Ah yes! Let's go home!” Aster said in agreement.
On the way home, Adi did not want to take them on his flight because too many people were watching. They got back on the train using Darma's credit card. Harsa and her friends all felt tired, hungry, and dirty. However, behind it all, Harsa personally felt very relieved. He is relieved that they are still alive, relieved by his new ability to command his physis to be a laser element, and relieved that he can now protect his friends. Harsa knew there was still a lot to learn about magic, but for now, she was grateful enough to have enough power to save Aster. More than that, he was also relieved that he had a friend at school who could accept that he was half Kasarewang, where he no longer needed to hide his identity to Aster.
***
In the inn room that Aster, Adi, Barasa, and Harsa left behind, an ant turned into a black butterfly. After flying into the alley outside the room, the butterfly turned into a black cat, and after arriving at the corner to the highway, the, the black cat turned into a man without anyone realizing it. After boarding the car, the man called someone
“Tast night it was a danger.” The man said to someone on the phone. “Adit has been arrested by the authorities. Your syndicate will be sought and overseen by government officials. Of course it's a pity we don't have a new witch to take care of the syndicate's trash because the girl managed to escape. Oi!! Don't blame me!! Who would have thought eh? The girl who happens to know about magic has a friend of a Kasarewang? Honestly, I wouldn't dare to fight them. Especially if you have to face the young Kasarewang. If not wrong, is his name Adi? I did not expect that Firya to death was defeated by the young Kasarewang. If only I had not hurriedly hidden myself from him, then I would have died as well. Huh huh? Am I really a formskitter? Of course, if I could I would also want to kill all of Kasarewang. I'm just smarter than the other formskitters who don't have the strength to fight their instincts. If I did, I would choose which opponent I could beat and which not. Well, if that teenage boy named Harsa, maybe I dare to fight him alone. He too, even if he's weird, half-and-half, maybe he'll be useful for your research. Whahuh? Do you think you can? I'm not sure, as long as her brother's there it's gonna be hard. If you really want to, you have to prepare a plan. Maybe you prepared another powerful witch who could join me. You looking for? Ahaha! Alright!”
After which, he hung up his phone while smiling wickedly. “Those humans, they don't know to what they actually do.”
