“Lost..” that's the word that came out of their mouths when they found the body of the grandmother was not in place.
“Hey, in this world if the dead will not move is not it!?” It's a silly question but it still has to be confirmed.
“Of course you can't! I also don't know why his body disappeared in such a short time!” answer Chronoa.
“So yes. Hmm do you think someone is watching us while interacting with that granny?”
“Hah? I don't think there is! Since I didn't smell anything suspicious, therefore I didn't say anything to you.” In addition to his troublesome instincts, his kiss was also creepy.
“Well you have a point too, I don't feel anyone or anything watching us. Could he be strong enough to escape our surveillance?”
Imagining someone with great strength, Dyze became very excited, his habit was not separated from his spirit.
“Dyze, do not let out that smile suddenly and without reason. That's creepy.” The expression he put on was exactly as he had been with Layond first, looking down.
“Oops, I'm sorry. All right, that's not important. The most important thing now is that my strength has returned, protecting you is easy for me.”
“Hmmp, who also asked to be protected.”
“Will but, if you become a burden to me, I will not hesitate to leave you!”
His facial expression changed, becoming calmer.
“Just relax, I won't be your burden.”
“Heh! Try to prove it yourself.”
Since we've done business here, we're going back, to where Claire is, maybe she's lonely there.
“Teleport: Erdein City.”
Right after that Dyze and Chronoa (along with the Elves carried on his back) moved in with a flash, about 15 meters from the city gate of Erdein. Dyze chose this place because there are rocks that are large enough, thus limiting the visibility of a person to see them.
This was done so as not to provoke too much fuss or suspicion of the gatekeepers because they saw Dyze and Chronoa arrive just before the gate.
On the other hand, in a mysterious place, like a hidden kingdom..
“What should I do with this grandmother's corpse, Mister?”
A voice came from a silhouette that was in a magnificent room but looks terrible, because there are so many skull decorations in it. Then the silhouette knelt before a throne. Not long after that was seen the silhouette of someone occupying the throne.
“The granny has done her role very well, cremation her as a last tribute.”
“Really Mr is too kind to humans.”
“Do you think? But Raiden, you need to know if the grandmother is not an ordinary man.”
Ctaars!
A huge lightning bolt struck in the clouds not far from their room, the flash from the lightning made the entire room momentarily bright. But the throne was not exposed to the light, which kept the silhouette awake.
Raiden has blue hair as beautiful as a jewel of yellow hair interlude making it look striking, his irises are yellow with a slight to emasanation. Posture in his body had also been formed, the aura around Raiden made anyone who met him would consider himself “dangerous”.
“Hamba remembers it, he made a pact with us 42 years ago right? It offers its life above the power of the Master in exchange for a power that has the potential to know the fate of the World.”
“Raiden is great. Before the arrival of the man, he was useless at all, there was no point in collecting his life. Khu khu khu, until that moment arrives, when Ariel makes an offer with us.”
The arrival of Dyze and Chronoa is greeted happily by Claire, she has prepared a large banquet, but she is astonished when she realizes Chronoa is like carrying someone behind her.
He walked up to Chronoa to see more clearly, how surprised he was to find an unconscious Elf in their hands. Dyze and Chronoa tilted their heads as if they did not know what problems might befall them.
Claire only let out a short sigh and allowed them to enter to enjoy the dishes she had prepared.
Claire still did not realize that the Elves brought by them were not ordinary Elves. Dyze and Chronoa eat with Claire after placing the little Elf in the rest room.
While trying to eat a Dish, Claire asks about Dyze's 'matchment' in Elfimp city.
“About that.. “
Dyze thought hard about the reason, he couldn't possibly use the same excuse anymore if it wasn't necessary. Dyze closed his eyes and fell into contemplation when thinking of a reason that could be used. Considering the whole possibility, it seemed that he had found the answer.
Do I have to tell her the truth? Well I did believe him anyway, I think it's a good time to tell him what happened in Elvire village.
“....Eh?”
Claire made an unbelievable low tone voice when Dyze finished telling the story.
The atmosphere became silent, even the sound of the wall clock became very clear. As if she was digesting, Claire was silent for a moment.
“Yang is right!? One Village that has quite a lot of combat power was destroyed in a single attack by the ‘skill' you mentioned?!” He gasped in shock and accidentally rang the table loudly using his hands.
“Ya, right. Silly story isn't it?” Chronoa Comments.
Claire calmed down and sat back down like she used to. While sipping tea he replied calmly Chronoa's comment: “No, if Dyze says it then I will believe it. Even if he says the sky will collapse though, I will still believe.”
Chronoa is visibly upset that he once laughed at Dyze with his childishness, in contrast to the very mature Claire who believed in Dyze even though it was beyond human reason.
Although Dyze.-.
Her.. Believe me?! Well even though everything I tell you is reality but wouldn't it definitely be denied by humans according to his common sense!? Damn, humans are too complicated to understand.
.. Although it looks from the outside he looks calm, in fact he is quite busy to prepare answers that Claire might ask next.
As Claire looks to open her mouth to ask, surprisingly the tiny Elf figure that might be seen from her appearance is about 10 years old, she said, yawning and rubbing her eyes then interrupted Claire and said with a stomach that sounded.
“I'm hungry.”
“Pfft.!” There was a voice that could not hold back his laughter.
“He reminds me of you, Chronoa.” Dyze smiled broadly, no, more towards the triumphant smile.
“Hah!? Just right!?”
While Claire only responded with a small laugh, she then approached the tiny Elf and reduced her height by sitting in front of the Elf.
“You, what's your name?”
“.. I'm hungry.” He just repeated his sentence, as if just following his ego. Claire was a little annoyed, therefore she did not do that pointless act again and immediately led her towards the dining table to enjoy it together.
The elf began to scoop up the soup that had been heated, the hot smoke that was still billowing made it blow slowly because it was still too hot. The fragrant aroma that smelled from the meat soup made him tempted to eat it immediately, when he felt the taste, a glimpse of the glint of light in both eyes.
He quickly finished the bowl of meat soup, he seemed to enjoy the dish. The sound of belching becomes a sign that he is satisfied with his food.
“Wow, you ate so fast.”
Well of course I can also eat that fast but that's not a delicious way.
Dyze then went back to eating the large portion of meat soup in his own way. Claire realized that there was something strange about this Elf, when she finished eating, suddenly her body let out a light, it was not dazzling, but also not too dim.
Claire then closely watched from the tip of the hair to the tip of the Elf, she remembered about the Elf Race that was called the strongest type of Elf Race in the legend book, having the same characteristics as the Elf girl.
Clairw patted his cheeks to convince himself that it was impossible for such a High Elf to be in the City of Humans, according to the information he got from the legend book, there were 7 types of Elf races in this world:
Race Dark Elves (Dark-skinned Elf)
Wood Elves Race (Elf forest, Elf Race this type is the most often hunted humans to be used as slaves)
Race Wild Elves (Primitive Elf)
Race Snow Elves (Elf snow)
The Lythari race (This kind of Elf has the ability to transform itself into a wolf.)
Race Light Elves (It is mentioned that the Light Elves are described as the most beautiful Elves, they have a characteristic that is quite striking that is their body is radiant, but not dazzling.)
It was also told that the Light Elf had silver hair and blue eyes, completely matching everything the Elf had.
No, no, calm down, this must be just my imagination, it makes no sense if such an Elf was in the Human City. But.. If you think about the reason, was his hometown attacked? And he was a victim of the refugees?... It would be a little strange because the Elves were not weak, even though they were lacking in physique, their magic power was quite great.
Seeing the restless Claire, Chronoa and Dyze glanced at each other to find answers. But of course the answer will not be found if you do not know what the problem is being experienced.
The elf seemed to be quite sensitive after getting what he wanted, the corner of his mouth coiling up became a sign he was about to open his voice.
“Eiria.”
“Thank you for your banquet, it was delicious. About myself.”
He was speechless, unable to say a word, as if he had the burden to say it. His breathing became irregular, it was obvious he was frightened and agitated.
Dyze, who had just finished her meal, saw the frightened Elf, she immediately knew in one look, something was threatening her life.
“Well take it easy, if you don't want to tell me now, you can tell it tomorrow.”
Dyze walked away from the dining table leaving the three of them, after handing over the dishes in the kitchen, Dyze's gaze fixed on the torn paper stuck on the wallboard. The board contained a lot of torn paper paper that contained Claire's heart words.
Dyze approached the paper that caught his attention, and he read the contents of the paper.
“I will be strong for her sake.. No matter what risk I have to go through.. Huh?” Dyze simply smiled meaninglessly as she read her.
He became a thought because of that, he also wanted to find a fresh wind to clear his mind. She exits Claire's house through the back door to enjoy the fresh air.
As for Chronoa and Claire, they had finished the dish. After being able to calm down the Elf with difficulty and deliver her to go to sleep, Claire also washed dishes and other cutlery according to her routine habits.
But something unique happened, Chronoa helped her wash the dishes, it just happened even though they had been living with Claire for days.
Silence and an awkward atmosphere ensued between them. Claire was a little uncomfortable with this atmosphere, she became in a hurry to finish her laundry. But Chronoa broke the silence by asking her: “Hey, do you really believe her?”
Chronoa's question refers to him in the past laughing at the truth.
Hearing Chronoa's question, Claire responded with a sigh of relief. He glanced at Chronoa, stopped his activity, and said nothing.
He then put on a relieved smile, then continued it: “So yes. Because it turned out?” He was seen chuckling, then rubbing his forehead, although there was no sweat there.
“What do you mean?” Chronoa was a little surprised by what Claire meant.
“Ah, I thought you hated me, hehe.. “ He seems relieved that Chronoa did not declare ‘war' on him.
Chronoa doesn't have any reason to hate Claire, Claire seems happy about it. He then answered Chronoa's previous questions while resuming washing activities.
“Trust yes? So far I only believe in 2 people, but 1 of them has left the world. Slightly difficult to say but, she seemed to have something that no one else had..-“ Her answer ended along with her activity.
He piled dishes that had been washed then tidied up, and put cutlery in their respective places.
“Huftt.. Finally finished too.. Ah hope my answer will satisfy you, Chronoa.” After drying her hands, Claire walks down the living room leaving Chronoa drowned in her daydream.
***
At night, nothing unique happened that day except for the little Elf –Eiria– Chronoa and Dyze sleeping in the guest room while Eiria slept with Claire in her room.
Generally God does not experience the thing called ‘mimpi’ even when he became a human though. But this time is different, Dyze experienced a thing called ‘mimpi’ for the second time.
It's dark.. What is this?
I opened my eyes, and only found the darkness that enveloped my vision. But this darkness did not block my vision to see, more like hiding something behind it.
Dyze tried to stand up and began to walk through this endless darkness. After a long run, Dyze did not get what results. After crossing his legs to sit up, he heard a heavy sound like something was opening right below him.
“Waaa!”
This human body makes my heart feel like it will jump out when freefall like this.
After quite a long freefall, Dyze finally got to the bottom with a less smooth landing.
“Ugh, my ass.”
After feeling quite petted, I went to browse through a black room that was like locking me up. This room has a very complicated path, winding twists and many dead ends. It takes a long time to find the right path.
Arriving at the end of the path, there is a..gold seed?
The golden seed was seen floating on an altar, Dyze began to climb the stairs from the altar bit by bit, until it reached its peak. His curiosity exceeds my vigilance, maybe the word “The curiosity will kill you” will be suitable pinned to him.
Dyze touched the seed with a bit of caution and high curiosity. After being touched as if to recognize it, the seed immediately shone brightly that dazzled the eyes, making it reflexively close the eyes. The seed then seemed to open and project a silhouette with light in the predominance of light blue and dark.
The longer the silhouette becomes more visible. I was stunned to see it, I again observed it from head to toe to make sure it came back. Unmistakably, he was truly similar to the woman of that time!
Suddenly the woman let out a voice that made me even more sure if it was her.
“Finally I can meet you again.”
The woman continued her sentence but with a little unclear: “I will not let the incident happen again.I will.
“Hey! Who exactly are you!? Why are you so similar to him?!” My shout was filled with overflowing emotions, a mix of emotions like sad, happy, confused, mixed into one.
“This is the only way, you have to pass on Time Space Control to him. It will trigger a space-time distortion and I can meet him.” It's like he didn't hear, no, he didn't seem like he wanted to respond to me.
“With him? Who is the person you mean!?” Is that Claire? Is that Chronoa? Question after question began to pile up in my head, but after that I pushed it away a long way away as I saw the woman's body begin to crack and break into beautiful pieces of blue light.
He shed tears and was seen trying to reach Dyze's shoulder. And naturally Dyze's hand grabbed his hand which slowly turned into a huge crack. Dyze thought he was not alive, but the statement was grossly wrong, as Dyze's hand was pulled up to the cheek. He then rubbed his rubbing like he missed the warmth of someone's body.
He then cracked and broke completely into pieces of blue light, seeing this I could feel that my mind was screaming as loud as it was, as if feeling sad for his passing. Unknowingly it affected me to the point of making me flinch.
“Aarrkh! Hosh.hosh. Dream!?” Dyze awakens with sweat drenching the body, and his screams also wake Chronoa up.
“Emhh? What the hell is uncle? Late at night screaming like that..Hoamm, did you have a bad dream?” He looks still very sleepy, not infrequently he rubbed his eyes and yawned at the same time.
“Nightmare? ..then I can't say it like that.”
“Haissh, how strange. Have mending sleep again, we discuss tomorrow only.” He tidied up his pillow and then went back to sleep.
“Damn that woman made me think.”
I frowned deeply and grumbled, but since it was late at night, I had better get rid of it for now..
-.hoam.sleeping seems more comfortable than thinking.
