Chapter 380 - Profiles

From the very moment she met Yang, Cynthia knew he was not normal. But when she recalled their conversation last night, she had to facepalm. After asking her with such a serious expression on his face. Why on earth did he act all nonchalant? She does not understand that man at all.

"Cynthia, Cynthia are you listening?" Julio said.

"Hm?"

"Your brother said he would come here too."

Cynthia frowned when she heard those words. "Tell him to stay over there to watch over Akito. It wouldnt be good if we brought all our defences over here and focused on Setsura-chan." Besides Akito is in the same position as Setsura-chan, so they need to watch over them carefully.

Julio nodded. "Thats what I told him, but he got angry."

"Isnt it a good thing were not blood related, otherwise I would have such a bad temper too."

"Uh, you don't need to be related to have a bad temper." Julio trailed off his gaze fell on Setsura who was shopping at the market. "Do we really have to spy at her like this?"

"Do you want to approach her then?" Cynthia questioned.

Their first time meeting just had to be a strange one. Even if Setsura-chan has heard the explanation already. Cynthia understood that with the girls personality, she would be treated as a rival from now on. What a problematic situation, she does not want to be on bad terms with the girl. Maybe she could speak with it with her brother later on-- her thoughts broke off when she spotted blue hair.

Isn't that Chauncey Long? He was looking around the busy streets pretending to be occupied. But she noticed that he was standing nearby where Setsura was.

Now that she thought about it, this person also plays a vital role, doesn't he? 

Chauncey and Yang.

Akito and Victor.

The four men around Setsura are certainly interesting individuals. 

Cynthia picked up her notebook and flickered through it until it landed on the relevant pages.

Chauncey Long

Age: 21

Chauncey Long is a member of the Long family. The LOng family that is the current head of the mafia organization. A talented and young leader, but he has unique circ.u.mstances with his body. He has to sleep with women otherwise his body would decay.

Yang

Age: 22

The leader of an overseas group. (9A9 subject who chose to stay on. But due to case XX became a stray but the results of the trial led to unique circ.u.mstances being made for him) Has a severe personality disorder.

-You have already become prey thats being hunted, nothing more than bait that can be consumed at anytime.

Victor

Age:

Also a member of the mafia, the number two of his family. He is Chauncey Longs cousin, and specializes in weapons. He looks like a gentleman but lying comes as easy as breathing to him. A dangerous man who tricks people with his smile.

So many people have fallen victim to him. 

Cynthia paused at Victors profile and showed it to Julio. "You followed him around for a bit right? What did you find? Is it like what is written here."

Julio paused and nodded. "It is. But honestly that guy is so good at hiding it, you wouldn't think…" He shook his head. "It isn't a split personality either but his real personality."

"All of this makes Akito look normal." Cynthia commented. She did not bother to flick through to his profile. "Also who came up with these catch phrases?"

"Well it is something they have said before. Remember this book is a magical one, words would randomly appear even if we don't update it."

Cynthia sighed. "Why are all the guys this time around such problematic individuals?" She genuinely felt sorry for Setsura now. The girl already has enough problems as it is, but her potential love interests are all crazy. Then again. "Other than that curse, Chauncey Long is quite normal."

He is a member of the mafia, but his record is awfully clean. More like he genuinely does not seem to be a bad guy. "What is the situation with this curse?"

"According to what I learned it is something that was passed on from his grandfather's generation. His grandfather made a mistake and cheated on his wife. What he did not know was that his wife was not a normal human, she was a witch and so she cursed his bloodline from then onwards. She cursed the bloodline so nobody could fall in love and be happy."

Cynthia has already heard plenty of similar tales, but it still surprised her listening to all this. It seems like there are many people out there who will do anything when it comes to love.

"Anyhow we should help him solve it."

Julio nodded. "Even if he is a potential love interest, dont you think Kaname Setsura has already…"

Cynthia chuckled. "You would be surprised what goes on a girls heart." She trailed off. "But I do understand what you mean. Akito or Yang, huh?"

"Which do you think she will chose Cynthia?"

She recalled Yang's expression when they spoke yesterday and sighed. "No use asking me, I will play favorites."

Yang reminds her so much of her beloved and that is why she genuinely wishes him happiness. She genuinely wants him to fall in love. When this is all over, Cynthia intends to erase his memories. She no longer wants him to dwell on such painful things anymore.

But, she wondered if this would truly help him. 

Love is not a miracle thing for everybody. There are those who fall in love but nothing else changes for them.

There are those who fail even though they get plenty of opportunities. Cynthia wondered what those people felt. Even though they put in so much effort to be with their loved one, it still ends up badly.

Her gaze fell on Setsura. Will this child be able to handle it all? Or will she break down? Either way, she will watch over her.
