AND I'M SORRY IF THIS CHAPTER WAS CONFUSING YOU GUYS.
The Curse of Blood
Chapter 14 : When It's Founded...
When the answer had flown out from Emizel's mouth, not just everyone who's standing with him, but everyone who's gathering around Fenrich as well, were became as silent as dead.
"D-D-Die?" Artina stammered in disbelief "N-No. Y-You're... You're kidding me."
"I-I'm not." Emizel answered uneasily "E-Every information from this book about Werewolves were real, not fake."
"I-Is there a cure for this?" Tera asked "I-I mean, almost all problems have a way out, right?"
"N-No. Until now, there's still no cure found for this case." Emizel replied "Besides... Maybe this case ever happened, but it's only once, around 1500 years ago.."
"W-What?" Aya exclaimed "1500 years ago? Wow! That was a long time for a history!"
Emizel sweat-dropped when he heard this. "O-Of course it is. Even you weren't born yet that time.." Emizel said as he rolled his eyes.
"Once.." Tera muttered as everyone turned their heads to her "Hmm.. In this case, this 'once' word have the same meaning as 'the first one to do it', right?"
"Yes. Yes it is." Emizel answered shortly "Which that means, for the second time in 1500 years, a Werewolf do a risky thing in life; gain more power by the help of the Sun."
This answer makes everyone stunned. Gulped, Fuka slowly raised her hand up, like those kids in class.
"Uhm.. If I may know, what happened to the first one?" Fuka asked curiously. Emizel cleared his throat before he answered the Prinny Girl's question.
"...What do you think would happen?" Emizel asked back.
"Uhm... it's dead already?"
"Exactly." Emizel asserted "She died 4 days after she does that risky thi-"
"Whoa whoa whoa, wait a minute! This Werewolf is a 'she'?" Fuka asked suddenly, replied by a nod from the Shinigami.
"According to the book, 'Yes'." Emizel replied "But sadly, it's not mentioned there about who's this 'she' Werewolf is."
"So what Sir Emizel mean is, Mr. Fenfen only have 4 days to live?" Desco asked in disbelief.
"Hate to said it, but yeah. He only have 4 days to live." Emizel replied, clenching his hand as a restless feeling fills his heart "Darn. Why this should happened? Why did he use 'Vanargandr' anyway?"
Artina's ears twitched when she heard this. Emizel got a point there. Why did Fenrich used his strongest special attack, 'Vanargandr', while maybe he knew that using Sun's power was a bad idea? The Thief Angel then put her hand under her chin, thinking the possible reason why the Werewolf did that risky thing.
A moment later, Artina's eyes grew wide as she knew the possible, or maybe the reason of why Fenrich executes this 'Vanargandr' attack of his. Gulped, she adjusting her flower choker before she said;
"It's... because of me.."
Everyone turned their heads to the Thief Angel when they heard this.
"Huh? What was that supposed to be mean, Artina?" Fuka asked, tilted her head to her side. Artina shook her head before she looked up to the Prinny Girl.
"C-Can we talk about this later?" Artina said "I mean, we need to think how to save Mr. Werewolf from his death now!"
"I-I told you that there's no cure found yet for this case!" Emizel snapped.
"B-But...!"
"I-I'm sorry. I don't have any clue for this. It's..." Emizel lowered his head before he continue; "It's totally new to me.."
"N-No..." Artina whimpered in disbelief as she brought her hand up to her mouth and shook her head over and over before she feel to her knees, while everyone there lowered their heads, an urge to help the Werewolf was there, in their hearts. But...
What can be done? There's no cure yet found for this case. With this situation, a chance to help Fenrich were... 0%.
Everyone were in their world of sorrows now, feeling bad for the fact that they couldn't do anything to help the Werewolf from his death...
..That until...
"He's not the second."
Everyone surprised when they heard this. Want to know who said this surprising words, they turned their heads to the sound source and found Mao there, sat on a wooden chair that placed near the unconscious Werewolf with both arms and legs crossed.
"He.." Mao pointed to the unconscious Werewolf before he continued; "..is the third one to do this risky thing. Besides, I knew the cure for this problem."
Upon heard this, everyone gasped in surprise, save for Raspberyl though, who instead huffed and crossing her arms.
"Mao, you aren't planning to 'cure' him, don't you?" Raspberyl tutted, raising an eyebrow. When heard this, the white-haired Overlord groaned before he looked to his back over his shoulder, to his rival.
"Of course I'm not, you dumb!" Mao growled before he put his hand into the pocket of his white pants before he pulled out a pocket-sized, old-looking book from it.
"It's from here! Take a look by yourself if you guys don't believe me!" Mao cried out before he threw the book onto a round, wooden table that placed near him.
Curious, Raspberyl slowly stood up and took the book from the table and read the title of the book. When she did, she flinched.
"..Y-Your dad's diary book?" Raspberyl said in disbelief "N-No, Mao! I-I can't see someone's REALLY personal secret! Especially the one who already-"
"Jeez! Chill down, Beryl! Even though it's his diary book, he only writes the result of his experiments there, not anything that should be write there." Mao said, rolling his eyes "So? It's like a lesson book or whatsoever."
"O-Okay then. I-If you say so..." Raspberyl said before she slowly opened the book, scanning each pages that containing confusing writings of alphabets and numbers.
A moment later, The little pink-haired demon found an odd, yet unique writings that could be the writing she's looking for.
"The 'WW-SUN CURE EXPERIMENT'?" Raspberyl uttered before she eyed his white-haired rival questioningly.
"Yeah. My dad did that 4 days long experiment back when I was still 478 years old." Mao said clearly "That time, he told me that he's gonna try to make the cure for this Werewolves' Sun phenomena. He already got the test subject. And no, my dad not force-taken the test subject. Instead, the test subject itself was the one who came to my dad."
"Liar."
"What the- I'm serious, Beryl!" Mao growled before he eyed his childhood rival with his serious glare "Look, could you just read and learn those writings already?"
"O-On it.." Raspberyl drawled, seemed surprised with her rival's glare to her before she continued to read the writings there.
"Hmm... So.." Raspberyl looked up to Mao again "From the first time, this test subject that known to be a male Werewolf that seems to be older than you that time, came to your dad.. He already got the Sun's power negative effect with him?"
"Heh. Yeah." Mao said "This older-looking Werewolf kid must be done that risky thing before he came to my dad and asking his help to make the cure."
"D-Did he managed to make it?" Artina asked curiously, a little light of hope appears in her used-to-be-sorrow heart.
"The answer is 'No', but 'Yes'."
"What was that supposed to be mean, Mao?" Raspberyl asked, tilting her head to her side.
"Well, it happens at the fourth day of the experiment, about 10 minutes more 'till it becomes the fifth day.." Mao said "That time, my dad combined 3 roses; red, white, and black, the test subject's blood, and a feather from the wing of an angel, into a pot of boiled water. And before you ask or complain, he's not a fan of a witch or whatsoever!"
After the white-haired Overlord said that, the people who want to asked him about his dad and the witch thing closed their mouth shut. Cleared his throat, Mao continued his story.
"So back to the story, my dad boiled all of those things I've mentioned before for 7 minutes, which left 3 minutes left before the test subject is dead." Mao said clearly "After waited 1 minute for the boiled water to become warm, he quickly splashed the warm water onto that older-looking Werewolf kid's body. He then waited for the result. And the result is..."
"Is...?" Artina asked, somehow seemed impatiently.
"Negative. No reaction at all." Mao answered "But then, that little incident happened.."
"What incident?" Fuka asked.
"I was there a minute before that older-looking Werewolf kid on his way to dead." Mao replied "At that time, with a small silver bar on hand (A/N : the 1 gram one), I rushed to my dad. But because I don't watch my step, I stumbled and the silver bar was thrown into the air before it landed... RIGHT on the top of that Werewolf's body."
Hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise and had their eyes widened.
"Y-YOU WHAT!" Everyone cried aloud.
"I bet you guys knew it even without me repeated what I said." Mao uttered "But because of that simple incident, it worked."
"W-What? Which one is worked?" Artina spurted out.
"My dad's experiment of course." Mao asserted "Because of that silver bar, his experiment that used to be failed were worked, showing a reaction."
"M-Mind to tell us the reaction between your dad's experiment and the silver bar?" Emizel asked, the curiosity in his voice was clear.
"Sure." Mao answered shortly "The reaction is; the silver bar was shining brightly as the test subject's body was surrounded by a bright, silver-whitish aura. It last for a minute, which makes it as day 5. My dad thought it was too late... But he wrong."
"I-It worked?" Fuka asked, the surprise in her voice was clear.
"Yup. It worked." Mao replied "That older-looking Werewolf was good as new."
As that words escaped from Mao's mouth, everyone had a happy-and-relieved-like look on their faces.
"S-So you mean.." Raspberyl drawled "I-If we try this, there's a chance for us to help him?" She continued, pointing her index finger to the unconscious Werewolf there.
"Yeah." Mao said with a nod "All we need to do is to get the materials before the fourth day comes."
"T-Then what are we waiting for!" Artina exclaimed "Let's we get this materials up before it's too late!" she continued vigorously.
"Though Mr. Fenfen sometimes makes Desco feel uncomfortable, she wanted to help too!" Desco said aloud "She'll help everyone to get the materials!"
"Guess I'll say the same with Desco.." Emizel said "Heck, It's better than saw him dead in vain."
"Count me in!" Aya exclaimed.
"Me too!" Tera said aloud.
"Then it's settled!" Fuka exclaimed "Let's go find this materials before Fenfen loses his life for forever!"
"YEAH!"
With that, some of them make their way out from the club house, wanting to search the needed materials while some of them stays in the club house, keeping their eyes on Fenrich's condition whilst the materials to cured him was being searched...
~~~~0~~~~
With a piece of paper that containing writings of the needed materials in hand, everyone who joined in the search team were discussing about this in a nearby park..
"So..." Aya started "Where are we gonna find these materials?"
"Hmm.. Let's see..." Emizel started, looking to the list in his hand "Test subject's blood? Nah, it's already there. A feather from the wing of an angel? ..We got that too, just need to pick who. Silver bar? ..Maybe we could find it at a nearby jewelry shop or whatsoever. 3 roses with different colors? Let's see.. Red? Easy. White? Same. Black? ...Now this is new."
"A-Almost all of the flower shop here were having Red and White roses." Tera said "But I don't have any idea about the black for sure. I wonder... Where could we find this black rose at?"
"White rose painted with black paint?" Aya guessed, tilting her head to her side questioningly.
"No way, Mai!" Fuka exclaimed "It sounds weird! And sounds... unnatural I guess."
"Ngg... You got a point there, Fuka. It sounds odd if it goes that way.."
"Then where could it be?" Desco asked "Desco sure only this thing was the hardest to find. So-"
"Hey, everyone.. How about this?" Artina said as everyone turned their heads to her.
"We'll find the things that easy to find first, before we search this Black rose." Artina suggested "...How about it?"
"Sounds like a plan to me!" Fuka exclaimed "Well. What are we waiting for? Let's go and get these easy materials first before this Black rose one!"
"YEAH!"
"LET'S GO!"
After the decision was made, they divided themselves into three groups, each with different tasks, before they make their way out from the park to find the needed materials before it's too late...

Meanwhile, somewhere in Netherworld...
A Male Healer who goes by the name Muz, with nickname Muzzie from his Lady, was standing not to far from the throne, where his Lady, the Fuka look-alike, sat there, with her legs crossed and head rested in her right hand.
"Now tell me, Muzzie.." The Fuka look-alike started "Are you sure those people we've recruited were smart enough to replace those old, but now dead 'scums' of 'B Hunters'?"
"I'm sure, Milady." Muz answered "In fact, they can pass the tests easily, unlike the first one. They're like.. a group of heartless people, killing anything or anyone who they're targeting into with no doubts holding them down."
The Fuka look-alike ears were twitched when heard this. Looking to the Male Healer in excitement (and awe, might I add), she asked; "R-Really? A-Are you sure?"
"I'm perfectly sure, Milady." Muz replied "Now, they're ready for any tasks you gave them."
"Perfect as always eh, Muz?" The Fuka look-alike smirked "Oh well. Since they're ready, gave them this tasks.."
The Fuka look-alike gently move the finger of her left hand through her long black hair before she said the tasks.
"I want them.." The Fuka look-alike started "..to put an end on the so-called 'pest' that had defeated the old, now dead 'scums' of 'B Hunters'. And.."
"And what, Milady?"
"Well, maybe this sounds impossible." The Fuka look-alike pouted "But.. Well, let's give it a try. If it's possible.."
The Fuka look-alike stop moving her fingers gently to her hair. She instead let it go from her hair before she clenched it, a serious, angry-like look on placed on her face.
"..If it's possible, I want them to kill that pesky little brat." The Fuka look-alike said, the rage and hatred in her voice was clear "Tell them to kill this damn brat when they saw him. Forget about putting an end to the so-called 'pest'! Once one of them saw this pesky brat, just target him! NO ONE ELSE! JUST. KILL. HIM!"
Muz was startled by the sudden rage from his Lady. Trying his best to not showing that he's startled or whatsoever, he asked;
"A-Alright, Milady. Who's this brat, may I ask?" Muz asked. The Fuka look-alike gritted her teeth in anger before she said;
"Oh you dumb. Of course you know who, Muzzie." The Fuka look-alike growled "Well then. That's all. You got it, Muzzie?"
"Y-Yes, Milady. I'll make sure I'll tell them your tasks... Including the task to kill 'him'."
"Good." The Fuka look-alike grinned "Now don't just stand there! Tell 'em!"
"Y-Yes, Milady."
With that, Muz left the room. When the Male Healer was out from her sight, the Fuka look-alike let out a chuckle.
"Hehehe. Don't hope you can run now, you pesky little brat." The Fuka look-alike said with a smirk.
"..I'll make sure I kill you this time..."
