Dear Mocha

第54章

The group continued walking in the forests as Mnemi and Samui kept guarding the place around them. Hunter couldn't help but study Mnemi's costume.

"I'm deeply sorry I couldn't perform much, Cupid." Samui formally adressed Mnemi, giving a genuine apology. Mnemi smiled warmly at him, patting the taller man's shoulder.

"It isn't your fault, some Shi members are immune to specific elements." Mnemi mentioned, as Samui smiled back, clenching his fists softly.

The forests were clean and pretty, full of trees and bright leaves which are full of life. Mocha didn't seem to be admiring the scenery like everyone else though.

She was busy reading the book in hopes of finding more clues about Opilus's whereabouts, so she can hand him back his book.

"If Ruki was here everything would've been easier. I've seen him perform in combat lessons, and he's really capable." Hunter grinned as he pumped his fist.

Kyo looked at him, still scared that Samui would hand her in for her past crimes. Her father was right, using her first name as her past fame name was a big mistake.

"I hope Kae is alright," She muttered, sighing as the footsteps of grass crunching was audible. Hayen was now at the back of the group, as he stayed quiet.

He was in his usual younger form, with messy hair and a weird new suit that Yakei gave him. The boy was thinking about his human life and how Yakei's encounter affected him.

Everyone seemed to be in their own individual areas, and they didn't seem to have the time to focus on one another.

They all stuck to eachother since they can't risk another Shi member encounter, much to their dismay. Mocha flipped through the pages, sighing.

"This is so messed up.. if only Ruki was here, he managed to help me figure out many of this.. I've spent all my time reading this book and I don't get anything." Mocha sighed, as she ran her finger over the lines and words in the book.

"Thats not what your room told me, with all Hunter'a broken items all over." Kyo said, rolling her eyes sarcastically as Mocha glared at her, Hunter looked at them in confusion. "What do you mean?" He asked, hoping to know.

"She means nothing." Mocha finished it off, as she glued her eyes to the book once more. Hayen caught up to them, curious to know aswell. "I wanna know.." Hayen muttered.

"Well, it won't hurt to say." Kyo said smiling sheepishly as she crossed her arms, side eyeing her best friend. "So. Remember when you went to finish your night trainings three weeks ago?" Kyo asked.

Mocha glared at her even more as she shut the book, getting angry. "What'd they do?" Hunter asked, wondering what they're up to.

"Ohh! You mean when they took his items?" Hayen asked, as Hunter's eyes widened. "My items? They cost me a fortune!" Hunter yelled.

She promised she wouldn't tell. Mocha sighed as she retreated to the back a bit. "She was 'testing' something using them, and ended up breaking everything." Kyo said quickly.

"Yeah. We'll have a talk when we're back, Mocha." Hunter gritt his teeth, since he valued his posessions and hated it when others touched them.

"I'm sorry!" She apologized, as she hugged the book to her chest, sighing. "Ooh, testing for what?" Hayen said, smiling. "No reason." Mocha said, as they continued their pathaway.

"Why was he giving you a rose?" Hayen asked suddenly, as he retreated a bit to Mocha. "We had a project." Mocha answered, as Kyo rolled her eyes.

"Do you think Ruki would be of great help right now? His element allows him to fly great distances from the strength of it." Hunter mentioned.

"He didn't want to come, I asked him twice already." Mocha responded, as the quadro stayed behind. Mnemi walked in the front with Samui. They were heading to god knows where.

Samui was thinking of the fight they had earlier, if it weren't for Mnemi, they'd be all dead. All this is because his ability wouldn't work properly against her.

The place's atmosphere started to shift slowly, as the green trees and springy atmosphere slowly changed into more of an Autumn look. Nobody seemed to notice.

That's the normal Misfit Valley, it's the size of a continent back on earth according to Kyo. But so much has happened before their eyes, Mocha didn't believe most of it.

"Hey, Kyo." Mocha whisper called her, as the slightly taller girl slowly began to walk so Mocha would be the same pace as her. "Yeah?" She asked her bestfriend, with curiousity.

"Why did you hide your first name? There are hundreds of Kyo's around the globe." Mocha explained with confusion. "I changed my whole appearance, Mocha." Kyo laughed.

"My hair used to be blue, and I decided to settle onto my last name since it suited me better." Kyo explained, as she and Mocha walked together.

That was reasonable. Mocha had to return to observing the trees, and she had just noticed the atmosphere that had suddenly changed in the area.

What bueaty that is, she admired the broken science law which existed in Arcania. The fact that there is so much to see and know, and that this is too magical compared to basic earth.

Mocha never wanted to return, but she was still concerned for her parents, as she didn't know where to go and what to do after returning the book to Opilus.

She didn't know if Kae and Kyo would return with her back to earth after she finished her atmost mission inside of the planet. She hoped they did, since departing would be hard.

She could finish this academic year only and then go back. Mocha had lots of thoughts about what she were to be doing, as she stared at the book in her arms in the process.

Leave everything in Arcania behind and go back? Return to my ordinary human life? Is that the right choice to do? Is it? What about Kae? Kyo? Hunter? Yakei? Ruki?? Hunter? What will they react about this? After all the time we spent together.

How can I go back?
