Azura kidnaps Herra

"The tent is ready, you can rest there."

Both turned to the source of the sound. Mika was already standing in front of them. Miura breathed a sigh of relief because she was finally able to avoid Selena's question which she thought was difficult to answer.

But strangely, why did the woman ask that? Was Selena suspicious of him?

Did he also know that his relationship with Mika wasn't a sibling? The woman must have known from Aaron. And now trying to find out. Inner Miura.

"Let me help." Selena embraced Herra's body and tried to help her up.

Mika didn't stay silent, he immediately approached Herra and helped her stand up. "Does it still hurt?" he asked attentively.

Miura didn't answer right away, instead, she glanced at Selena. He watched the woman's face, afraid that Selena would become more suspicious.

Miura shook her head and tried to free Mika's hands from her body. "I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anymore." Miura tried to smile and make herself look fine. She didn't like this situation. She didn't want to make Selena jealous and make the situation more complicated.

Mika gasped. He seemed aware that Herra was trying to avoid him. Even the girl tried to avoid eye contact with him.

"Just let me help her into the tent." Selena's voice broke the momentary awkwardness. Miura nodded and walked with Selena toward the tent.

It was getting late, but Aaron never came back. "I'll try to catch up with him," Mika said to the two women who were now in the tent. "Are you hungry too?" He continued before actually leaving from there.

"I've been hungry since earlier." Selena said while holding her stomach indulgently.

Mika smiled at Selena, then her gaze shifted to Herra, "do you want to eat something?"

Herra again didn't immediately answer, she glanced at Selena, afraid that the woman would grow suspicious of him. After all, why did Mika keep showing her concern for him? Did he not think about Selena's feelings?

"I don't feel hungry," Miura said awkwardly. It felt so wrong now. He just wants to protect the feelings of his fellow women. Moreover, Selena had asked something that didn't make sense. She asked if he had ever been attracted to Mika before.

Is it possible in his eyes we do look not like a pair of brothers and sisters? Miura thought.

"Even if you're not hungry, you still have to eat. Alright, I'll find some forest mushrooms for you." Mika stood up and immediately came out of the tent.

"Mika seems to care about you, doesn't she? You are very lucky to be her sister." Selena's question sounded like satire. Is that woman jealous? What exactly did that woman want to say?

"Yes... I'm lucky to have Mika in my life, she is a kind and caring big sister." Even though her mind was in turmoil, Miura still managed to maintain a calm demeanor.

"Are you sure, your feelings for him are only limited to that? As far as brother and sister?"

What does this mean?

Miura thought Selena had forgotten her silly question earlier. Turns out he was wrong, this woman was still bringing it up.

"What do you mean? I do not understand." Miura purposely showed a stupid face. Pretending not to know where the conversation of the woman beside him was going.

"I don't know, is it just my feeling or what. I just feel, if you have a different look when you look at Mika, and vice versa."

It turned out that this woman had realized something. "Maybe it's just your feelings. Even I don't understand what you mean." Miura was still trying to act as normal as possible.

Selena suddenly chuckled. "To be honest, I'm a little jealous."

"Jealous? Why do you have to be jealous?" Miura was curious.

"Because I already know your real relationship."

Huh, what?

Miura was shocked to the point where her eyes widened, "what do you mean?" He asked in a very cautious tone.

"Yeah... Aaron has told me everything. I know you and Mika aren't blood brothers. So I--"

"Don't worry, nothing ever happened between Mika and me. We are just brother and sister, nothing more." Miura cut Selena off before she could think any further. Even though he had to lie to his feelings, according to him it was the best for now.

Miura didn't want to make Selena feel jealous or anything like that.

"Thank God, I'm relieved to hear that. Previously I had time to keep everything in my mind. And that made me a little uncomfortable, but now it's better. Thank you for your answer Herra."

Herra just smiled back. If only she had the courage like Selena who dared to be honest with her feelings. But sadly Miura wasn't that kind of person, maybe Herra was too. Because maybe they have a lot in common, that's what makes Miura here now. His soul filled Herra's body.

A girl who can only harbor feelings of love. I don't know, Miura thought, maybe Herra also suffered from that. And for that, she came to be Herra. There must be something he has to work on.

And more strangely, his feelings for Mika were the same as what Herra felt for Mika.

Miura didn't know what to do next. Even though he's only been in the comic world for a day, he's already experiencing complicated feelings of love.

***

Mika was only halfway into the forest, but he already heard the howling of a wolf before dark. He looked up and realized that tonight was a full moon night.

On a full moon night, usually the evil power increases, and it is on that night that the creatures come out into action. For a moment, Mika regretted having invited Herra to hunt in the forest. He is afraid that there will be many dangers lurking, especially since Miura has just recovered and the Vampire King Azura is hunting him.

Mika's feeling was getting more and more erratic, he decided to return to the tent. But his steps stopped because someone suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Gosh... It turns out you, who I thought." Mika took a deep breath of relief.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"It's getting dark, of course, I'm looking for you."

"What are you looking for me for? I can take care of myself, it's Herra you should be protecting. Gosh... We have to hurry back to the tent." Aaron's face immediately changed to panic, he even threw away all the wood in his hand and ran as fast as lightning toward the tent.

"Hey... Wait for me!" Mika ran after Aaron.

Both are now running side by side. "I have a bad feeling."

"Same, me too, and I just realized that tonight is a full moon night."

"Well... That's what I mean." Aaron sped up his run. He even climbed trees and jumped from one tree to another. Mika did the same.

On the way, they were surprised by a shadow. The shadow disappeared quickly.

"Did you see anything just now?" he asked.

"Yeah... I saw a black shadow just now." Mika's hunch was getting erratic.

"I'm afraid something will happen to Herra," Aaron said.

"I hope he's okay."

A few minutes later, they got to where they camped.

Mika and Aaron immediately went into the tent. And there was only Selena there, the girl seemed to be treating her injured hand.

"Where's Herra?" Mika exclaimed panicked.

"Augh... My hand hurts." The woman did not answer and instead acted spoiled.

"Selena, what happened?" Aaron said, "Where's Herra?"

"Why do you only care about Herra? Can't you see I'm hurting?" Selena showed her hands which had several scratches.

"I'm sorry. I didn't pay attention to you. Why did you get hurt? Where is Herra?" Mika changed the intonation of her voice to be as gentle as possible.

Meanwhile, Aaron looked impatient. "Don't beat around the bush, Selena. Tell me where is Herra?"

"Aaron, watch your manners." Mika tried to remind him, but the man only chuckled in annoyance.

"Selena, can you tell me what happened?" Mika said while looking deep into Selena's eyeballs. He always tries to understand women. Because after all women's feelings are soft, so he always tries to treat women well.

"Earlier, when you were leaving, suddenly the vampire king Azura came. He forced Herra to come with him, I also tried to help him until my hand hurt, and in the end, Azura took Herra away. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Selena sobbed again, she felt guilty and at the same time could not stand the pain she was suffering.

"I thought that. That shadow must be Azura!" Annoyed Aaron. "We shouldn't have to go to the forest today, especially since Herra just recovered! This is all your fault! You didn't even look after her and went looking for me!" Aaron tries to spill all his disappointment on Mika.

"I didn't mean that either! I took him to the forest so he wouldn't get bored, I just wanted him to recover quickly. And I didn't know it would be like this! I followed you into the forest because I was worried something would happen to you!" Mika tried to explain with no less emotion.

"You--"

"Never mind, you guys don't fight, this is all my fault. I couldn't protect Herra. I'm sorry." Interrupted by Selena, she again showed her guilty face as if she was deliberately seeking Mika's attention.

"No, it's not your fault. We shouldn't blame each other. Everything has happened, now we are thinking, how are we going to find Herra." Even though her thoughts and feelings are confused, Mika tries to be wise. He prefers to dampen his ego and think with a cool head.

"Where are we going to find? We don't even know where the palace of the damn vampire king Azura is." Meanwhile, Aaron was still speaking loudly.

Vampire King Azura besides being famous for being cruel, is also famous for being mysterious, no one knows where he lives. All clans and followers of King Azura are also known for being very loyal and loyal. They never divulge where the vampire king Azura lives, they would rather die than be forced to open their mouths.

"For that, we will find out, I also want to make a reckoning with him for causing father and mother to die." Mika's hands clenched tightly indicating a burning grudge.

"I'll come with you," she said.

"No, you better heal your wounds first. Let me, Aaron, and the clans look for Herra." Mika said while gently stroking the top of Selena's head.

The woman smiled as if she couldn't hide her happiness every time Mika gave her attention and tenderness.

Mika, I love you! Selena spontaneously hugged Mika.

Aaron who was still there immediately looked away. "Gosh... what the hell. I even have to see people making out, it's so annoying!" Then stepped out of the tent with a feeling of annoyance. "You heartless, don't see what I'm... Single, sob!" Aaron felt like crying in the corner.

Mika let go of Selena's hug. To be honest he didn't have any feelings for Selena, he just used her as a shield so Herra wouldn't get suspicious, if he liked Herra. But the circumstances and the curse that was in him made it impossible for him to be with Herra.

"I will take you back to my palace, and you rest there until your wound heals. Only after that, I will take you back to your country." Mika.

"When are we getting married?" Selena insisted as if she didn't want to just let Mika go. He doesn't want to let go of the opportunity to marry Mika, who has great power and influence in the vegetarian vampire clan. Moreover, that man was extremely handsome and gentle. Who would waste a man like that?

And now the biggest obstacle, Herra. It's not here anymore. And Selena hopes that the girl will never come back.

"Oh... That, I haven't thought about it. After all, we're engaged. Isn't that enough to calm you down?"

Selena was a little disappointed to hear Mika's answer. But he couldn't seem pushy or Mika would change her mind. She must be able to show the mature woman in herself, she must try to understand. "Okay, no problem. My biggest worry, is I'm afraid you'll turn to another woman. But I'm sure you won't do that. Am I right?"

Mika paused and nodded hesitantly. Her feelings are getting more and more uncertain. He also didn't know why he was deceiving his feelings and putting himself in a difficult situation. At first, he thought this would be easy, but it turns out that being in a relationship with the opposite sex is a complicated thing.

Mika secretly felt a little regret for having made such a hasty decision. All he knew was that he just wanted Herra not to hope for him. But it turns out that he makes other women also hope for him. He is not the type of man who likes to play with women's hearts. But this time he did.
