I think next is the turning point...
Thanks for reviews/comment/follows/favorite and those who just get to leave review, thank you too! It makes me feel happy to know what you think! I'm nothing without you all~
Ayase's family residence, early morning,
Nozomi sat on top of Eli—in her true form as she kissed her gently, they just finished with getting the laundry on the hanger— though there's still one under wear that Nozomi carry on her hand— it's Eli's black underwear. They embraced each other tightly as their tongues began to rub against each other. Then their noses playfully brush against each other as they giggles from the tickling sensation they made.
"Ah…totally forgot that my transformation into human also took some large amount of energy… could've turns it off earlier…" Eli said.
"So you'll be stuck in this form….means that you can't go out from home, right?" Nozomi said.
"Nope…. I can't…. unless I want to do it while crawling in my human form…"
Nozomi giggled.
"Say, Ericchi, why you didn't use your ability to drain my energy? You have plenty, right? It will a lot more effective than absorbing me manually like this…" Nozomi asked.
"I do… but if I use it on you, it'll affect the baby as well… because it might be too strong. I don't want to harm the baby…" Eli said.
"My…how responsible of you…Ericchi, I bet this child will be so happy to have a papa like you…. but we don't have legal marriage form, I wonder if this will be ok?" Nozomi asked.
"How hard it is to slip from the law? I don't remember to sweat for it…" Eli said.
Nozomi giggled,
"You're being prideful… it's a deadly sin, you know…" Nozomi said.
Eli laughed,
"There, you're saying what everyone used to tell me before…" Eli said.
Nozomi giggled before she strokes Eli's hair.
"It's true though….Ericchi, if you're being too prideful, death will approach you… " Nozomi said.
"Let's see how this death will dress like?" Eli said playfully.
"Sheesh! Ericchi!" Nozomi hit her head on Eli's forehead.
"Ouch! That hurt!"
"I'm warning you, silly Ericchi! I really love you so I don't want you to be gone…"
"Of course, honey, I don't want you to be gone too, that's why, let all the deaths come after me—and I will never fall before you do… and I swear to you, love, if there's anyone that harm you in purpose, I shall torment them for eternity…" Eli said with a mischievous smile.
Nozomi smiled at her back before she shoved her lips to her.
"I still want to get hurt though— but only if you are the one who cause the pain, darling…." Nozomi said.
Eli giggled before she drags her closer to her,
"…as long you requested it…." she said as she digs her claws into Nozomi's neck, pulling it very slowly before she began to lick the wound gently. Nozomi moaned— she tightens her grip on Eli's body as she enjoyed the pleasure she get from the pain.
Not for long after they started doing it— they could hear a door knock. They paused for a moment before Eli continues to lick her wounds after releasing her nails off her. The door knock heard again and Nozomi decides to hurry up to get it, she held her neck with one hand to cover the wound.
As she open the door, Lilith already stands in front of the door along with Eve…
"Ah! Lilith-chan! I didn't know it would be this early!" Nozomi said.
"Hehe, the fresh air in the morning is the best for a pregnant mother like you…" Lilith said. She noticed Nozomi's hand is holding her neck and a slight amount of blood still remained under her hand.
"What's wrong with your neck?" Lilith asked.
"Uh—Oh…. this…uhm… I…. I scratched myself a little…" Nozomi said.
Lilith squint her eyes,
"A-anyway! I'll go get ready! It will be quick! So wait for me!" Nozomi quickly ran inside.
Lilith flustered, Eve sighed weakly.
"Hey, Eve, you can read her mind, right? Tell me what it really is…" Lilith asked.
"I knew you'll ask that…" Eve said.
"Of course, so tell me what it is…" Lilith said.
"She is a masochist… and the scar wasn't from herself… that's all you need to know…" Eve said.
"So she is into that…hmm…I see…." Lilith said.
"Don't tell her if I can read mind, ok? I won't know she is naturally honest or not if she knows…" Eve said.
"Roger-that! Eve!"
The town's park, early morning;
Kotori, Honoka, and Umi taking a morning walk as well. Kotori still occupied with her phone while Honoka eats her breakfast bread happily, and Umi gently push Kotori's wheelchair as she enjoy the morning breeze.
Suddenly, Honoka noticed someone familiar,
"Ah—Isn't that….?" Honoka paused. She tried to finish her bread inside her mouth before she yelled,
"LEEEOOONN!" Honoka shouted.
A big guy turned around to see Honoka.
"Ah, Attorney Honoka!" He said with friendly smile.
Umi frowned slightly, though she keeps quiet.
"Who's that? Umi-chan?" Kotori asked.
"That's Leon, Lilith's adopted son. He is a researcher about Chimeras too like Lilith…" Umi said.
"Oh…" Kotori stare at him in awe.
"He is big…" Kotori said.
"That he is…" Umi said.
"Didn't expect you to be here too… going for a good and nice morning walk-huh?" He asked.
"Yes, it's good for health and my friend here needs some recovery as well…" Honoka replied.
"Ah, never seen her before…" He said.
"This is Kotori-chan! Minami Kotori! She is the one who works behind the stage of our show…" Honoka said.
"Ohhh! I've heard about her! I didn't expect her to be this cute and young though…" He said.
"You flatter me…" Kotori replied with a sweet smile.
"Hehe, m'lady also the fourth richest family last year, am I right?" Leon asked.
"That's what someone used to say to me…" Kotori said.
Umi frowns a little again,
"How would you know about that?"
"Oh come on! Prosecutor Sonoda Umi, there's plenty of information that you can get from this city. You just need to search more about things instead of waiting for information to come by… If you have a friend who is a journalist, she would know about it too…" he said.
Umi keeping her frown at him,
"I see…." she said.
"Ah—speaking of which… is there any chance of you to know Detective Toujou Nozomi in person? I remember at your latest show, she is appeared on the screen to set free the innocent, Yazawa Niko…" He said.
"Ah, yeah, Niko-chan…she is a poor thing!" Honoka said.
"For sure! I heard her apartment exploded and the terrorist still remained unknown…" Leon said.
"Yup! And… Nozomi-chan, yes we know her in person! She is currently investigating about the serial murder—but, she is currently pregnant so she doesn't actually active on doing it for now…"
"Pregnant? She is married…?" Leon asked.
"Yes— she has a husband…." Umi said, Kotori surprised to hear that— she turned around to Umi. She noticed that she is frowning slightly.
"E-eh?! Wait, isn't that Eli-chan's child? Nozomi said it was her child with Eli-chan…" Honoka said.
"There, Honoka-chan! That's biologically impossible…!" Kotori said.
"Yes, Honoka…. Eli and Nozomi are just best friends…" Umi said.
"But… they live together too, right?" Honoka said.
Kotori sighed,
"They're not, Honoka-chan… Nozomi-chan is still wandering around city!" Kotori said.
"That's cruel… why is her best friend doesn't want to let her stay in her house?" Leon asked.
"It was Nozomi-chan's own decision. She doesn't want to stay in one place. She is sometime staying in our home too…" Kotori said.
"She did?" Honoka asked.
"Yes, she did…" Kotori said.
"I didn't know!" Honoka said.
"Of course, you're always outdated with this kind of information…" Umi said.
"Hehe-sorry!" Honoka said.
Suddenly, someone's phone ringing… everyone tried to grab their phone except for Kotori who already have her phone on her hand. It was Leon's phone that ring and everyone awkwardly watching him picking up his phone.
He is quiet for a moment before he started to look around and said,
"Don't do anything… wait for me…" he said before he close the phone immediately.
"Who's that?" Honoka asked.
"Ah, just a few of my workers… they finally figured out how to use the newest machine, but they screwed up with it… I need to get back to my workshop soon…" Leon said.
"A machine?" Honoka asked.
"Yup, I'm working with a decent engineer to make it… but since she is a little difficult at times— she often likes watching our worker suffering…" Leon replied.
"Oh… okay…good luck…" Honoka replied.
"See you later…" he smiled gently.
The clinic;
Niko still staying around the clinic, resting on a couch as she waited Maki taking care of the patients along with a few other nurses and doctors, she seems to be less amused about it. She waited for hours and stills nothing much changing until finally, it's time for lunch and Maki stopped working to get her lunches.
"Hey, Niko…. I'm going to café…" Maki said.
"Yeah… go on…" Niko said.
"You don't want to come?" Maki asked.
"I think it's too bright for me, I'm tired…" Niko said.
"Alright…." Maki said before she turned around from her and walk away. Niko watches Maki going downstairs, she sighed weakly before she mumbled,
"What a busy body…. I'm glad I'm not a doctor…" Niko said.
She closes her eyes,
"But… to use her power for something good like that…." Niko mumbled again..
"It's pretty impressive…" Niko said as she slowly open her eyes again.
"No-no…. that's not impressive… she is just hyperactive…"
She said as she shook her head.
The café, noon;
The Café light is bright and warm, the luxurious decoration placed all over the place and there's only a few group of people in it. Maki eating her lunch on her special table elegantly— even though the size of her food doesn't count as elegant. Mountain of foods placed on the side of her table and there's about four of them served on the big plates.
She is watching a movie on her tablet until suddenly, someone coming into the calm café and yelled,
"Maki-chaaaaaaannn!" Rin shouted.
"Rin…." Maki greeted her before she sat in front of her.
"He-he! I knew you'll be here for lunch-nya!" Rin said.
Maki remained quiet as she watches Rin taking an empty plate from another table— also the spoon and knife. Then she took a few of her food from the big plate to her empty plate.
"I'm so tired! Kayo-chin is so tired too! She was working so hard to study her magic while I was studying for my test! Ahh! I'm soon going to be a policewoman-nya!" Rin said before she started to eat.
"Why are you two studying in one place…" Maki said.
"Eh? We are not-nya. We're just always active on video call when studying so that we can watch over each other-nya!" Rin said.
"Oh…." Maki replied before she continues to eat her lunch again.
"I also already saved enough to get one decent motorcycle-nya! I think we should search for it later!" Rin said.
"I'll be surprised if you haven't get enough of it, with you constantly taking free food from me, I'm very sure you saved up a lot of money already…" Maki said.
"Hehe, it was tough since I'll have to get here on the right time or I'll miss you having lunch or dinner-nya!" Rin said.
"What kind of motorcycle you're planning to get?" Maki asked.
"Hmmm… I want Sport-bike-nya! Or…. The Dual-purpose type! It would be fun to chase after criminals on that-nya! Then maybe I also can modify it? I think Meg used to tell me that she can modify a motorcycle too-nya!" Rin said.
"Speaking of Meg, I haven't seen her lately… have you?" Maki asked.
"Eh? No… Kayo-chin also said that she couldn't contact her lately, I wonder what's up with her-nya…" Rin said.
"Why is Hanayo contacting her so often?" Maki asked.
"Hmm… they usually talk about journalistic and computer engineering. Kayo-chin has been studying them and Meg is an expert about it too…. I don't actually understand their conversation-nya…" Rin said.
"Then, tell me about her magic… how does she get it?" Maki asked.
"It was a long story-nya… but Meg said, she will have to be responsible for that magic on her own— we couldn't talk about it with other peoples because it will be a chaos if they knew Kayo-chin can heal with magic-nya…" Rin said.
"Oh… I can imagine…" Maki replied.
"Where's Lilith-chan and Eve-nya?" Rin asked.
"Lilith and Eve taking a break today… They will be back tomorrow though… they said… there's something important that they need to do today… not sure what that is…" Maki said.
"Ah—I see…. I was hoping to meet them today-nya! Maybe they knew where Meg is…" Rin said.
Maki replied with a smile before she continues eating her meal along with Rin.
The Town's Glass Garden, afternoon;
Eve, Lilith, and Nozomi walking gently around them, Nozomi seems to be already very familiar with this place while Lilith and Eve still staring at the scenery in awe.
"This is my new favorite place in this town…" Lilith said.
Nozomi giggled,
"This was the place where I and Ericchi made our first duet—titled, the Garden of Glass… we were not even dating that time, we just think that it will be fun to make it…" Nozomi said.
"I've never heard that song…" Lilith said.
"Not to be so prideful but, it's a very popular song in that time. A lot of people treasure it as the most loved song…it has a very catchy tune and the opening was something really fun too… it goes like DE-DE-DDE and then La-la-la-la-la!" Nozomi said cheerfully.
Lilith and Eve giggled,
"It would sound annoying if you sing it that way, but it made me want to hear that song… do you have it?" Lilith asked sweetly.
Eve concerned a bit, though she didn't say anything about it.
"Sure… I doubt you can get a copy of it again at store, so… here…" Nozomi took out her tablet from her pocket. Lilith accepts it. Nozomi unlocked the tablet then lead her to the music section as she also plugs in the headset. Lilith and Eve wore the headset, one for each of them.
As the music began to play, Lilith and Eve started to move their heads along with the rhythm.
"This is fun… and good…" Lilith said.
Nozomi smiled,
"Thanks…" she replied.
"You have a beautiful voice… and… it's perfect with Elichika…." Lilith said.
Nozomi keep her smile.
"I really like the lyric…." Lilith said.
Eve noticed that, though once again, she didn't say anything about it.
"Ah— we have solos too! My first solo is Pure love lens, then Ericchi's first solo is The End of Ordinary Sorrow… I have them there too along with the others solos…." Nozomi said.
"Really…?" Lilith search through the music and she played Eli's solos immediately after the Garden of Glass song ended.
They listened to the song in silence, Nozomi remained quiet as she wait them listening to it— watching her surrounding and enjoying the nostalgic view around her.
After a few minutes of the song playing, Eve noticed that Lilith's eyes swallowed and she is about to break in tears. Without any delay, Eve kicked Lilith and punches her face. It surprise Nozomi as she noticed it.
"W-whoa?! What happen?!" Nozomi asked as she turn around to them
"D-Domestic violence! Eveee! You're so cruel!" Lilith said as she rubs her own face.
"You're drooling over a picture! Dumb ass!" Eve yelled.
"Whw-what?! What picture?!" Nozomi flustered,
"Your wallpaper… Lilith is such a goofball! Please ignore her!" Eve yelled.
Nozomi still confused, she swears that her wallpaper is just a picture of Eli almost fully naked and posing elegantly.
"Anyway, Nozomi-san, we should go now… I think Eli will be worried about you by now…" Eve said.
"Ah! You're right! Let's stop by the supermarket for shopping first though…." Nozomi said.
"Alright…." Lilith and Eve said.
Ayase's family living room, afternoon;
Eli sitting on the sofa, watching Television on the news channel,
"…the accident happen in the morning and wounded a few pedestrian—…"
Aahh! Nozomi!
Eli screamed in her mind as she quickly grabs her phone, then paused before she press the call button.
No…I can't… I promised to not call her before 4 PM….
She said in her mind before she puts her phone down. She turned to the clock that hanging on the wall, it's still 2 PM…
Arrgrghhhh! Nozomi! Where are you?! I can't…. I just can't….. this is not a morning walk! Why does it take so long to walk around?! Did they go shopping or something?!
Eli said as she began to roll around the sofa.
Haaa— I need something to relieve myself… huuuhnn…. Chocolate! I need chocolate!
Eli said in her mind before she quickly ran to the kitchen and search through the refrigerator. There's plenty of food stocked inside, mostly are just meat and some fruits, she tried to search through them before she found a chocolate bar stuck on the ice at freezer. Eli grabs it and with her strong hand, she managed to take it out at ease.
She took off the ices that still sticks on the chocolate bar, peeling off the silver paper and bit it with her strong teeth— crushing the chocolate at ease and keeping them in her mouth until it melts on its own.
Hmm…no one beats the taste of chocolate! Harasho!
Eli said in her mind.
"Onee-san?" Arisa called her, she just woke up from slumber.
"W-waaaa!" Eli quickly close the fridge and hid the chocolate on her back.
"Ah, Onee-san, you're on your true form…" Arisa said— still half asleep.
"A-Arisa…G-Good afternoon!" Eli said nervously.
"What are you doing, Onee-san?" Arisa asked.
"N-Nothing! J-just, trying to get some snacks…" Eli said.
Arisa turn her focus to Eli's hand.
"Chocolate again?" Arisa asked.
"Y-yes…." Eli replied shyly.
"Sheesh, Onee-san, for the sake of yourself, you're eating so much chocolate already… I'm not going to buy you more before this month ended…" Arisa said.
"Ah—But! Uh…. Well, I can buy that myself, but…."
Arisa crossed her arms and frown at her.
"F-fine… this is the last one, ok…" Eli said as she covered the chocolate with the silver paper. She was about to put it in the freezer again— but for some reason, she started to feel uneasy again and decides to peel off all the silver paper and eat the chocolate quickly.
"Onee-san! There!"
Eli remained quiet for a moment as she crunches her chocolate,
"I'll forbid you getting more chocolate this—…."
Door knock cuts in before Arisa managed to finish her words,
Arisa quickly tidy up herself before she got out and…
"I'm back!" Nozomi said.
"Ahaha- Arisa-chan!" Lilith greeted cheerfully.
"Oh… Welcome…and…welcome home..." Arisa said.
"Where's Ericchi?!" Nozomi said eagerly as she quickly enters the house.
"Nozomiiiii!" Eli called her.
"Aaahh! Ericchi! I'm home!" Nozomi quickly ran to her and hugged her tight.
"Nozomi, I've been worried about you!" Eli said as she snuggled her.
"I know! That's why I stopped by supermarket to get you chocolate…" Nozomi said as she placed her bag and showed a lot of Chocolate boxes inside it.
Arisa rolled her eyes as she heard it. Eve and Lilith saw her and started to giggle.
"Nozomi, I love you!" Eli said as she kissed her lover's cheek passionately.
"I know, Ericchi! I love you too!" Nozomi replied before she leaned and pressed her lips against her.
"They're spoiling each other…." Arisa sighed.
"That's what lovers do…" Lilith said.
Eve smiled and fix her bang as she stare into how playful the couple is. She is rather amused to see them together.
"Anyway, why don't you two come on in? It would be nice if you could help us with lunches…" Arisa said.
"You haven' got your lunch? That's bad Arisa-chan, don't be late getting them…" Lilith said.
"I just woke up… it's holiday today so I'm taking my time with my sleep…" Arisa said.
"Still though, you could've been more productive…" Eve said.
Arisa sighed,
"True…"
The Unknown, afternoon;
The police are preparing their weapon and armors as they made a few briefing for each other. Meg standing near a huge machine with giant cage nears it. A big guy standing next to her, smoking his cigarette as he watch over the huge machine being cleaned up…
"So… this is going to be the cage of death to any kind of alpha…. How does it work?" He asked.
"I couldn't actually explain how it works, but to put it simple, this machine will certainly kill any kind of alpha and safe their heart for you. It could automatically detect the size and the strength of the alpha itself… but, in all honesty, I don't know about alpha werewolves… they're the strongest of all chimeras since… you know— they're made naturally by the God Himself plus their body system…" Meg explained.
"So you're not sure if this machine can kill an alpha werewolf?"
"More like, I'm not sure if the cage can hold them before the machine destroy them. I've designed this machine to be able to compete with one's power… the stronger they are, the stronger this machine will be…" Meg said as she fixes her glasses.
The big man remained quiet before he tried to bents the cage bars with his power. It's very powerful and he couldn't actually do it.
"You're not going to be able to do it… your chimera form is just a mere power… even though you're the only one of your kind that existed in this world…." Meg said.
"Hah, but I'm still stronger than a few other chimeras, am I right…?" he said,
"That's going to be what I say about your wife…" Meg replied.
He laughed,
"Of course, she is made that way— is she even a human anymore? Don't think so… with all alphas mixed up in her…she is no longer count as human…" he said with a mischievous smile.
Meg replied with a chuckle,
"Sometime I just love the way you think you're right while what you did is just something evil and heartless…" Meg said.
"Heartless, that's what I like to be— because I'm craving for the alpha werewolf heart right now…" he said.
Meg smiled,
"I knew that, but just to remind you… your enemy, is not a loner wolf, she is accompanied by many and —…."
"She is pregnant…. If her lover is truly the one who makes her pregnant…. Then it's a good chance…" He cuts in.
"Pregnant…..?" Meg surprised to hear it.
"I already know how succubus and incubus works… baby… they're a both girls, right? So there's only one way for them to have one of them pregnant….and only one condition that possible for them right now…"
Meg remained quiet to it.
"That's why I told my men to prepare for the battle tonight…. You'll be there… right?" He asked.
Meg sighed weakly,
"Yes… I'll be there…."
He laughed,
"Good, I hope you launched your plan as well…. I may not know their exact position yet, but if my guess is right… then that is the only place they stay at…" he said.
"Smart advice here, if I'm you, I still won't touch Ayase Eli… or Ayase Arisa… both are a member of a decent family in our world… harming them is just like sending a war declaration…" Meg said.
"I'll take your advice…" he replied before he left the place.
Meg sighed again,
"Let's see how your humiliated face will looks like, Eli…"
The Clinic, dusk;
Niko just woke up from her slumber, she started to look around for a moment before she realized, her stomach growling.
"Ah—time for food…" she mumbled before she stood up and look at the time.
"Still two hours before her dinner time… I guess I'll look for her first…" Niko said as she started to search around.
Her search stopped as she saw Rin and Hanayo sitting next to each other, it looks like Hanayo is currently helping Rin to study her exam materials despite her own study is a lot different than her study. Niko decided to approach them,
"Hey…." She greeted,
"Ah! Niko-chan!" Rin greeted.
"Good afternoon…" Hanayo greeted.
"Why are you two studying here?" Niko asked.
"Rin-chan said this clinic is very comfortable so it's a good place to study for her…" Hanayo said.
"Hehe—yup! Plus, we can join Maki-chan in dinner too!" Rin said.
"Ooh!? Somehow I think your reason is just because you can get free food if you're joining Maki's dinner…" Niko said.
"W-what are you saying-nya! Ahaha… I do pay them!" Rin laughed awkwardly.
"There— you don't need to be embarrassed about it! I did that too…" Niko said.
"Really? Then yes! Free food for the win-nya!" Rin said.
Hanayo giggled,
"Maki won't actually lose anything anyway, she already got plenty of money every day… her family is the richest in the town last year and I think will stay in that position this year too…" Hanayo said.
"Eh? Really?" Rin asked.
"Yes, the graph of each famous family is listed in the Town's official website, it's a competition for them but good information for the entrepreneurs, a lot of them racing to get the heart of the richest family while the richest family usually working hard to pick the best entrepreneurs to make more profit for them. It's very exciting to watch them…" Hanayo explained.
"Wow…. Kayo-chin is so well informed…" Rin said.
"hehe… they also listed the most famous person in the town. C2NE, or some call them Catherine… is the most famous person in town. I tried to search around about it and apparently, C2NE is Eli-chan's model name, she hasn't explained why is it C2NE… but I'm suspecting it the C2 stands for 'Clever' and 'Cute'…" Hanayo said.
"Clever and Cute Nozomi Eli…" Niko said.
"Clever and Cute Nozomi Eli….. wh-whoa! It fits-nya! How do you know?!" Rin asked.
"Because she often call herself Clever and Cute Elichika back then, that prideful girl trying to be proud of the person she loves too… so I'm just suspecting her trying to make that name… then everyone started to read it as C-two-ne and eventually read it as Catherine…" Niko said.
"But… C-two-ne and Catherine is pretty far from each other-nya…" Rin said.
"I suppose it because C also can be read as K at some words, just like for Clever and Cute…" Hanayo said.
"Wh-whoaa! That's very tricky-nya!" Rin said in awe.
"Heh— I could come up with better name…" Niko said.
"Like what-nya?" Rin asked.
"Like—Uh….uhm…NiNiNi?" Niko said.
"That would be for Niko-Niko-Ni… right-nya?" Rin said.
"Eh—no! it's a lot more complex than what you think!"
"So what does it stands for-nya?" Rin asked teasingly.
"Nishikino Niko-Ni?" Hanayo asked.
"Th-The heck! Why would I want to use her name?!" Niko yelled.
"No?" Hanayo asked.
"Of course not! Gah! Forget it! I don't use her crap name, ok?!" Niko yelled again.
"That's rude, Niko-chan…" Hanayo said.
"I'll tell that to Maki-chan nya…." Rin said.
"Wh-what the heck?!"
Minami's resident, night time;
Umi busy with browsing through the internet, Kotori with the business on her phone while Honoka on arranging the stuff Kotori asked to arrange for her, the room was quiet until Umi decided to start a topic,
"Hey…Honoka…" Umi said.
"Yes, Umi-chan?" Honoka replied.
"Have you noticed a few strange things about Leon?" Umi asked.
"Huh? No? He seems to be alright…" Honoka said.
"We just know him about a few days ago, we can't just be trusting him…" Umi said.
"That goes the same with suspecting him… there's a lot of possibility about him…" Honoka said.
"Good point, but don't you think it's weird that he knows about the current case? We got the information from the framed police, those that Lilith killed and Nozomi and she hasn't released it to the public because it isn't yet solved…" Umi said.
"What if he is working in a law enforcement too? or perhaps, have someone who work there?" Honoka asked.
"Well…yes…. Good point….but I'm talking about the time when he said, someone is modifying Chimera blood for something bad… isn't it strange for him to know about that? He shouldn't know about it because the criminals are working behind the police uniform and they just don't transform in public… not that I ever see them doing so…" Umi said.
"What if he just found about them from someone? Remember that he is Lilith-chan's son…" Honoka said.
"Ah, right, it was Lilith who rescued us in that time too…" Kotori said.
"True…." Umi replied.
"That's why I don't think he is a bad guy. Why would her mother fight against his men if he is truly the one behind all this? She would support him instead… right?" Honoka said.
"I can't actually agree with that…" Umi replied bitterly.
Kotori smiled wryly,
"There, Umi-chan, Honoka-chan…. instead of guessing, why don't you two try to investigate further about him?" Kotori asked.
"Like…how?" Honoka asked.
"We need to pay a visit to him again…then let's just pretend that we want to know further about Chimeras…" Umi said.
"Good idea…" Honoka said.
"We should do that later in the morning… it's not polite to visit someone at night…" Kotori said.
"It's still 6 PM… we still can do that, maybe let's bring some food as well... say we have too much leftover…" Umi said.
"Eh… you're so eager, Umi-chan…" Kotori said.
"I do… because I won't sleep well without knowing this…" Umi said.
Ayase's family dining room, night time;
They just finished with their dinner, Eve took the job to clean all the dishes while Arisa tidying up the kitchen.
"Ah, that was a nice meal…" Lilith said as she stretched.
"Yup, it's really nice…" Nozomi said.
"Sheesh, I'm still annoyed that you all letting Onee-san eats more chocolate…"
"But chocolates are Harasho…" Eli said.
"You're eating too much of them! You know that food can cause you to strengthen your passive charm…if at some point people start to be crazy of you in just a second sight, I'm not going to help you…" Arisa said.
"But she already did make people crazy of her….so I suppose that won't be much change, right Nozomi?" Lilith said.
"Yup! Ericchi is so hot!" Nozomi replied.
They burst into laughter, Arisa sighed and Eve rolled her eyes. As Lilith glanced at Arisa, she noticed an amulet hanging on her neck. She remained quiet for a moment before she said,
"Hey...Arisa-chan…"
Arisa glanced at Lilith,
"Yes?"
"Can I borrow that amulet?" Lilith asked.
Eve surprised to hear it, though she decides to say nothing about it.
"Ah? Are you planning to return to our world? Any business there?" Eli asked.
"Sort of…" Lilith said.
"Sheesh…. Sis, you could've borrowed mine… I still have them…" Eve said.
"It's a vacation for me, I doubt you want to miss it…" Lilith said.
"Fine…" Eve sighed.
"I'm not using them at the moment, so I guess you can borrow it… just don't lose it, ok?" Arisa said.
"I won't…" Lilith smiled.
Arisa took off her amulet and handed it to Lilith.
"What is that amulet actually do…?" Nozomi asked.
"They have plenty of use, but mostly it's just an energy source. It takes a lot of energy to travel from here and there… so weaker succubus or incubus will need that amulet…" Eli said.
"She is saying that because she doesn't need them to travel… she is such a show off…" Lilith said.
Eli giggled,
"At my current state, I think I'll need them…" Eli said.
"yeah-sure…" Lilith chuckled,
"I don't plan to do that right now anyway… I want to stay with Nozomi… she is my responsibility from now on… and also the baby." Eli said as she grabs Nozomi and strokes her belly.
"There, Ericchi! It's not even growing yet!" Nozomi said.
"Still…. I'm going to love this baby like I love you… even though it just a mistake…" Eli said.
"Just… a mistake…." Lilith whispered very softly as she heard that sentence…
Eve also paused for a moment before she continued to work on the dishes.
The abandoned factory, night time;
Umi, Honoka, and Kotori stopped in front of a big gate.
"So…. This is where he is… right?" Honoka asked.
Umi remained quiet as she looks around the area.
"I can smell gasoline and some irons inside, I wonder if he is up for something at the moment?" Honoka said.
"Let's break in…" Umi said.
"Eh? Umi-chan, that's not polite…" Kotori said.
"I know it is— If I'm right, we will catch him in action…. but if I'm wrong….." Umi paused,
Kotori and Honoka remained quiet to wait her continue…
"Let Honoka take all the blame…" Umi said.
"W-what?! Why me?!"
"Ok, Umi-chan…" Kotori said.
Umi nodded.
"Let's go…"
"W-wait there! I haven't even agreed to it!" Honoka said.
No one listen— Umi opened the gate by force. As the gate slowly opened, a lot of polices waited behind the gate and a big truck loaded with a powerful looking cage. They saw two people that they knew standing along with the police and they immediately say their name…
"Meg…." Kotori said.
"Leon…." Honoka said.
Meg and Leon turned around. They look surprised for a bit, though they back to their calmness after.
"Visitors…." Meg said.
"Hey…. What's up?" Leon replied in friendly tone.
Umi frowned,
"Meg, I'm going to ask you a question…." Umi said bravely.
Meg remained quiet to it.
"Is Leon the Big Boss?" Umi asked.
Meg chuckled.
"Well, he is big, and he is a boss…." Meg said.
"You know what I mean, Meg… I know something about The Big Boss...and I know something up with the police too… I wish you to just tell us your answer…" Umi said.
Meg smiled mischievously,
"I'm sorry, but I've sworn to not tell anyone about this…so even if you know something about it…." she said.
Umi frown deeper,
"What will you do about it anyway? You know what you're dealing with….right?" Meg said.
The police started to transform into various kind of Chimeras.
"This doesn't look good, Umi-chan…" Honoka said.
"Umi-chan, we can't win this… not with violence…" Kotori said.
"I'll give you five seconds to get off this place…" Meg said.
The chimeras began to growl at them…
Umi grab Kotori's wheelchair.
"Huh? Hey, maybe we can talk about this first… it might be a misunderstanding…" Honoka said.
"One…." Meg said.
"It's not a misunderstanding, Honoka…. This is what they are…" Umi said.
"Two….." Meg said.
"That's sad, I thought we can be a good friend, Attorney Honoka…. Prosecutor Umi…" Leon said.
Umi smirked wryly before she quickly transformed into satyr and run with Kotori's wheel chair.
"H-hey! Wait!" Honoka joined them running away.
"Three four five…. Tell your men to catch them before this info reached to some specific peoples…" Meg said.
"Men! After them!" Leon commanded before some of the police began to run to chase them while some others are taking another way to catch them.
"I hope they still remember what they should do when I say... catch…" Meg said.
"Of course, they are trained for the best result…" Leon said.
"Yes, and if I see one of them brought here dead…. Your men will have some fantastic night to play on…."
The Clinic, night time;
Maki, Rin, Hanayo, and Niko just finished with their meals. They decides to walk for a bit before returning to their own activity…
"Ahh… the food is wonderful-nya!" Rin said.
"Yup, that it is…" Hanayo said.
"Hey-hey, Niko-chan! When you will get your new apartment?" Rin asked.
"Huh? Later… I want to enjoy free living for now… sleeping at clinic isn't bad at all… it's free laundry too…" Niko said.
"There, Niko-chan….only because it's Maki-chan's clinic, if you're at someone else's clinic, you'll be already getting a few kicks or so… you should just stay at my home…I'm offering you for free…" Hanayo said.
"Nah— I'll feel bad for being a burden to your family…" Niko said.
"Why are you not feeling bad about me…" Maki said.
"Huh? You're a millionaire, why would I be worried about you… besides, I'm living in your clinic, not your home…" Niko said.
"Still… you're a burden, you know what… get your own place already…" Maki said.
"Sheesh, have mercy!" Niko said.
"My clinic already has too many corpses to take care of… and some are from your ex-apartment too— still waiting for the family to take them for proper funeral…" Maki said.
"Pffft! I'm not dead yet….ok?" Niko said.
"Ah, there's still some of them left in clinic?" Hanayo asked.
"Yes…sadly... we identify them all and announced the name in Television, expecting their family will see and take their body…. but I guess it will still take time for it to be complete…." Maki said.
"But, isn't it creepy though-nya? I mean… to have that much corpses in a place… it feels creepy because maybe—they'll be awake at one time…" Rin said.
"We used to deal with that kind of thing…." Niko said.
"Yeah…It wasn't nice… they do venomous damage, it takes a while to recover it… even for us…" Maki said.
"Just glad it's nothing like in television-nya!" Rin said.
"Like...you get bitten and suddenly you're it?" Niko asked.
"Uhn…I think Meg used to tell me, that actually can happen but not to Chimeras… or blessed peoples…" Hanayo said.
"Blessed?"
"Yes… like… my current power…" Hanayo said.
"Oh…"
"Can you bless someone else?" Niko asked.
"Hnn…Not sure… but I think… I can give some kind of protection… but not quite powerful…I still don't really know how to use it." Hanayo replied.
"Still good though, we can use that kind of power…" Maki said.
"Yeah-nya!" Rin said.
"Hehe… I hope Rin-chan will also get the modified blood too… so then we can fight together if there's anything bad happen…" Hanayo said.
"I hope not…" Maki sighed.
"I still can fight-nya..with motorcycle! Have you ever seen some heroes doing that? Like, whacking the bad guys with motorcycle?" Rin asked.
"I've seen them… but can you even drive?" Niko asked.
"You're underestimating her… she can drive a sport-bike, you know… she drove mine before…" Maki said.
"W-what….."
"Yup-Niko-chan underestimating me-nya!" Rin said.
They entered the clinic building and stopped walking as they see a crowd gathering at an area. They turned to each other before they all decide to approach it.
"What's happening here?" Maki asked a doctor who's been standing outside the crowd.
"Nishikino-san… a Nurse panicked after she enters the morgue… she said, she swears she saw one of them rising from the dead…" a doctor said.
"What?" Maki flustered,
"We already called a mental doctor for this nurse, but she refuses to move from her place. She said, if she does, they will be freed. She demanded a key to lock the door… but the security guard refuses to give it to her, now they're arguing and become a center of attention for the crowds…" the doctor said.
Maki remained quiet before she enters the crowd and going through it until she reached her workers…
"Please! Give me the key! I can't hold it anymore!" a nurse cried as she held the door.
"No, please move out and let me see it!" said the security.
"It's true! Believe me! Please! Someone believe me!" the nurse cried again.
"I believe you… give her the key…." Maki said.
The crowds focused on Maki, the security guard sighed in defeat and gives the nurse the key.
The nurse accepted it and still with her position holding the door, she turned around and placing the key on the keyhole… she hesitated for a bit…
"Go on… lock it…" Maki said.
The nurse still hesitating, the security frowned and he took the grip on the key by force. The nurse cried like crazed—the security grabs her and as he tried to lock the door for her—
"Wh-whoa?!"
A slam on the door and it's coming from inside the morgue. The crowds frightened, the nurse cried in fear, Maki, Niko, Rin, and Hanayo watching the door intensely.
Once again, the door slammed and it is unmistakably coming from inside the morgue.
"Signal everyone to get up to the second floor! Secure the stairs and lift! Send warning! Tell all visitor to go home immediately if possible!" Maki yelled.
The security and the nurses quickly do what she asked including the crowds.
"Hanayo, send message to Lilith or Eve! Hopefully they know what to do as they come by!" Maki yelled as she throw her phone to Hanayo.
"Got it!" Hanayo said as she caught the phone.
Suddenly, a security running to Maki,
"Nishikino-san! Nishikino-san!" he shouted.
"What's up?" Maki replied.
"The Sanctuary!" he shouted in panic.
Ayase family's residence, night time;
They are all still chatting together. Eli looks a little weary, though she tried her best to stay awake. Lilith, Nozomi, Eve, and Arisa still wide awake, they noticed Eli keep trying to stay awake.
"Sheesh, Onee-san… just go to bed if you're tired.." Arisa said.
"Uh-Oh…Sorry…." Eli replied.
Lilith giggled,
"I suppose it just papa no going to bed before the mama going to bed too, huh?" Lilith said.
"Kind of…" Eli said shyly.
"Then, should we call it a day?" Eve asked.
"Yeah…" Lilith said.
"It was fun to chat with you two though!" Nozomi said.
"Ah, right, can I have the song you showed me this afternoon?" Lilith asked.
"Sure…" Nozomi replied before they started to transfer data.
As they work on it, Eve noticed her phone getting a text message. She opened it,
From: Maki-chan
Someone please help! The dead are rising and they're coming from the morgue and sanctuary!
Eve is a little flustered from the way it's written, though she believe the text is not a joke.
"Sis, the clinic needs help…" Eve said.
"Oh, ok! Please tidy up my stuff too, we will go right after I finished with the song!" Lilith said.
"I'll go put Ericchi to bed!" Nozomi said as she handed her tablet to Lilith and help Eli to get on the bedroom.
"I'll help…" Arisa said as she joined Nozomi to help Eli to get on bedroom.
Not for long, Lilith noticed a notification just appeared on Nozomi's tablet. She quietly opened it.
From : /(' 8 ')
Nozomi-chan! The Big Boss is after you! Hurry up and hide!
Lilith remained quiet and calm, she swiftly deleted the message without anyone knowing.
After a moment,
Eve and Lilith quickly ran out from the house with all of their belonging. They didn't get to say formal farewell though they aren't worried about it.
"What's the problem in clinic?" Lilith asked.
"The dead are rising somehow…" Eve said.
Lilith turned up to the sky, it's a new moon…
"Ghouls…" Lilith said.
"Yes, and I believe the vampires are going to use this as a chance to target on their nemesis…" Eve said.
"Nemesis…." Lilith whispered, she got reminded by the message that she deleted a while back, though Lilith still quiet about it.
They keep running until they met the bigger road. Just a second after they stopped for a moment to look around, they saw a very fast wheelchair passing by. They swear they know the three girls that ride on it.
"W-what are they doing…." Eve said in awe.
Then not for long after, a group of Chimeras running after them, Lilith and Eve quickly hide behind the wall and watch them running…
"The hell, why are they chasing them?" Eve said.
Lilith remained quiet, though she smiled mischievously.
"Eve…" Lilith called.
"What?" Eve turned around.
"Take care of the clinic, I have something to do…" Lilith said before she quickly ran off.
"Hey-wait! Sister!" Eve was about to chase her, but then she remember she couldn't abandon the clinic.
"Ah screw it! Do whatever you like!" Eve said before she transformed into her true form with long and big curved horns and a pair of giant wings.
"I hope no one mind with a succubus flying around town…" she said before she flew up high.
The Ayase residence, night time;
Nozomi returned to the dining room to pick her tablet that Lilith left. As she was about to pick it up, someone knocked the door. Nozomi paused and decided to get the door first.
"Ah, Lilith-chan… what's up?" Nozomi greeted her guest.
Lilith smiled mischievously before she suddenly grabs Nozomi's neck— which Nozomi quickly reply with a powerful shove in instant. They fell outside, rolled through the front yard for a few meters before Lilith quickly took out the amulet that she borrowed from Arisa as she got on top of her—holding her neck tight.
"Lilith! I can't fight you!" Nozomi said.
"Me neither— but I don't plan to fight you anyway…not that I need to..." Lilith said.
"Then what with this?! This isn't an exercise!" Nozomi replied.
"I just want to let you know— the biggest enemy is closer than what you think…" she said with a mischievous smile before she shoved the amulet on Nozomi and—
And I~~WILL ALWAYS LOOVEEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU...
