22 Chapter 20 - I Seriously Don't Know How to Name This Chapter!

"You know that old lady?" "Yes." "What? So who is she? Why don't you tell me earlier?" "Ehm? You didn't ask? I didn't just know her, I even had some rather mysterious encounter with her." "Heh?" "Really? You don't know? She's the princess of the Muron's clan!" "What?! I thought she should be a lot younger than that." "She's a human, she gets older with age." "Oh." "Anyway, I think I knew the reason why her life extended." "Do let me know the reason." "Well, Muron's clan is a human clan who is able to use simple magic although only the men are able to. It's a custody for all the men in the clan to give one year of their own life to the marrying princess as a present. So, that's it!." "Wait! If that's the reason for the life extension, then, who did that magic." "Hmm, I think the lady should know the whole truth, we just need to ask her." "Sky, if she intended to hide the thing, what makes you think she will let us know the answer easily?" "Just you, not me." "What?" "Give me some time, I'll get the answer by tomorrow. Right now, can you go back first, I need you to contact Chris… ask him to go to bed already. It's almost 1 am at his place right now." "Ah…Ok (*think: "How did he even know Chris is still awake?")…"…

The next morning, "I'm back." "Sky! What are you doing out there for the whole night? I tried to call your phone but you didn't answer me, I want to go find you but Chris-chan told me not to do so through the phone, where have you been?" "Naito's house, I have got the answer you want…Anyway, I'm a bit tired, we will talk about it later." Said Sky while getting into his room, and followed by Maria.

Sky's room, Sky is sitting on his bed, while Maria is next to him… "What have you been doing for the whole night? What exactly is your relationship with the old lady? How did you get the answer so easily? Did you…". Annoyed by Maria's non-stop talking, Sky stuff a piece of cookies into his mouth then patted his head say: "Are you jealous? Don't worry, I didn't do anything weird with her." "Why are you looking so tired then?" "Baka…I have been inside of 'that' house for the whole night, so…" "…!...Are you alright?" "Haha…I'm much more stronger than you, don't worry, just a bit tired, let me sleep for a while, okay?" Maria nodded…

Later noon time… "Actually, I do suspect the father since you told me about the incident, so I asked the lady and somehow get the confirmation from her." "How?" "Uh…None of your consent right now. There is something much more important." "What is it?" "Still remember I said that there is more than one type of magic used? Just now, I went to the area of the car accident, I trace some rather familiar magic source." "Familiar magic source? Who's magic is it?" "Not sure, but I can confirm it is someone from the Black Cross." "Oh my…Should we call Chris?" "Not necessary, I believe Dark Prince is not in charge of this, but still quite a trouble since it is related to Black Cross after all." "What should we do?" "Well, since I haven't confirmed if this thing really is related to Black Cross or not, we might need to pay them a visit." "Right now?" "Nope. We have another bigger problem need to solve." "I have a bad feeling about this." "The magic that killed the uncle in the first place is still active, so I went check the record from Jason and I found out that the uncle is not the only victim." "This is bad, we need to stop that." "Yeah, the problem is, I don't know how to stop it…Usually it's Chris that did this kind of job." "Ah…Chris chan had pampered you too much…"

Meanwhile in America… "Ha-chiu…Not again?"

​

Later, in the middle of a highway… "Okay, I have cleared the magic circle in this area." "Aww~~ I love you so much, Chris!!!" "Seriously? Why do I have to do a long distant magic spell for this?" "Because you are the only one who can do this." "Tsk… You know what time is it at America right now?" "Hehe… Dire situation." "Yeah, I know, especially when the afterworld is concern with this. However, I do hope that you restrict yourself from dealing with Black Cross, until I'm back." "Wow! I didn't even tell you about the Black Cross. You are a mind reader after all." "Shut up. Just don't mess with the Black Cross until I'm back." "Sorry, I don't think I can promise you that…" "Why?" "We have an uninvited guest right now…Have to hang up, Bye." "Oh! Ok bye."…

Approaching Sky and Blaze is a rather familiar figure…
