Translation: Bright Star, Ever so Brilliant in its Radiance
Who's participating in Inktober?👀
On to the story:
Jae-sung explained how their parents were all friends back in the day and were pretty close too, like really close. Tsukiko couldn't process this information for a moment and just smiled blankly at Jae-sung. After a while, the reality of what she had heard sunk in. She was almost starting to get flashbacks that she never knew she could have.
"So, you're telling me that for over 16 years, my parents, your parents and her parents were all in the same friend group in high school??!", she half-whispered half-yelled.
Jae-sung and Miyuki laughed in an embarrassed manner, momentarily unable to produce any words that would suffice for the situation. Thankfully they didn't have to as Tsukiko started answering her own questions faster than she could ask them.
This was starting to get a bit concerning and Miyuki decided to do something about.
"Miyuki, stop shaking Tsukiko for a moment. I think I heard something just now", he said looking left and right.
Miyuki did as he said and let go of the dizzy Tsukiko. They all stopped talking and listened for any more sounds. Miyuki had the sharpest hearing out of the three and also listened closely after regaining her balance.
Tsukiko's ancestor had incredibly good eyesight, hearing and athletic abilities which were all inherited by Tsukiko for the most part. Unfortunately, due to inability to control her emotions, she refrains from using these abilities and focuses on the more magical aspect of her powers.
They all waited for a while, but still, they couldn't hear anything. Whatever it was, was now probably long gone.
Only Jae-sung was able to hear it the first time which made him question if he had actually heard anything at all.
Tsukiko was the most confused of the three and spoke up first.
"What were we listening for?", she asked facing Jae-sung. Miyuki also looked at him asking for answers with her eyes.
Jae-sung closed his eyes was quiet for a moment, seemingly thinking about something. His brows were furrowed deeply as he propped up the hand he had placed on his chin with his second hand.
Finally, his brows eased slightly, and he opened his eyes. Prior to the deep and calming black irises, his eyes had taken a darker shade of something muddled and deeply upset.
"There was someone here, and it seems they were here to dig for information"
Miyuki was the first to speak.
"Someone got into your family's sacred Archives?? But that should be impossible, no?"
Tsukiko, "Why? Does it have a special security system?"
The Sacred Archives were also quite secretive only allowing certain individuals of the descendants of Aoiro Hikari's choosing to know about it. Tsukiko was of course not a descendant and only just knew of it. No ancient scriptures she's read contained anything about a sacred library, so she was quite curious.
Hearing her question, Jae-sung calmed a bit and answered her question.
"Yes, I'll show you", he said as he proceeded to walk towards the large blue flame located in the center of the room.
He stretched his hand over the fire and closed his eyes. When he opened them, they had begun to glow a fluorescent blue, a contrast to his constantly dark eyes.
