Chapter 30:Her Past
Morning again. But today is different day for us. Everyone seems very energetic. We greet each other with wide smile on our faces. Ah… the smell of scramble eggs. Though it's the same scramble eggs we ate these time, but it tastes more delicious than ever.
After that delightful breakfast. Chitose leaves the dishes to Primrose who exactly already moves free in the house since yesterday. Other golems too are free to move in this house now. Both I and Toya are really happy to see them wander around the house.
With the house chores leave in Primrose and Sebastian hands, we relax ourselves in front of the fireplace.
"I… was Seiji's girlfriend." Chitose suddenly starts talking. "We were classmate in The Yokohama Enchant University. We both shared a great passion of The Last Golem. Maybe it's because in our Ancient bloodline. Back in the village, elders would told us about a Great Golem that stop the war hundreds years ago."
"Wait! So you are an Ancient too?" Toya looks surprise.
"Yes, my village was located not far from your village. Seiji was my childhood friend. That time, you haven't born yet. But like your village, my village was destroyed too by that man." Her eyes look dark. "Anyway, after we graduated, we still lived in Yokohama. We researched about this Golem."
Chitose's story is exactly the same like my dream. I can't believe how my dreams are so accurate with her story coming from her mouth. I listen to her story though I already know half of it.
"After that, we decided to do our research in this snowfield. At first, we decided to stay at your village, but it's a bit far from Sage's Tower, the place that kept a very helpful information about this Golem. So we decided to build this house, near Sage's Tower and our villages."
She keeps telling us her past, but she doesn't mention anything about Kenta.
"After learning enough from Sage, Seiji and I did our own research in Grave Keeper's Village. For Grave Keeper's Village is the home of Infinity, The Last Golem. As our research went deeper to finally found the truth, someone watched us from our behind. In fact, he already set his eyes at us after we decided to do this research. He's a coward sly that will disguise himself as our best friend, but he's not. I already had my suspicious on that man, but Seiji. Oh, poor innocent Seiji… he still thought him as his best friend." She clenches her fist.
"And that day came. I was selling Golems' core that we won after battled with them in London City, so I couldn't assisted him in Grave Keeper's Village. He was alone that day. I came home late that day. I remember that day very clear, I waited him to return home. The dinner was already cold, but I waited for my love to come how patiently. It's getting dark, I started to think the worst. I couldn't wait anymore, so I ordered the Golems to search for him. An hour passed, I couldn't bear it anymore. So I searches for him by myself. I know where he could be, Grave Keeper's Village Infinity's Chamber. It was really dangerous if you go alone, so I ordered the Golems to come back and assisted me to my next destination." Her tears are flowing to her cheeks without her blinking.
"What I saw was Seiji's lifeless body lay down in the snowy palace. I couldn't bore my scream and tear, I screamed and cried violently. What I was thinking became true. I know that I should have assisted him wherever he went to. It's all my fault he died. I'm sorry Toya. I let the one we loved very dearly gone in this world." She holds both of Toya's hands.
Toya's eyes already flooded with tear. Without noticing I too begin crying. She hugs Toya and me tightly and says sorry several time.
