Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Will you hear me?

Mira is currently enjoying the free food provided for her. The light that came from outside the tent feels warm. Dust particle visible through the light seeping from a net window of the tent. The whether is so great and Mira barely holding herself from singing out of habit. If only these people isn't here, she would have burst out singing right here and there.

'Ah!~ Such a great weather.~ I really want to go picnic or dipping my legs in a river right now!'

Mira can feel the gaze that seems to be observing her. Although she is not sharp, she knows they were observing her every movement.

'Kind of scary.' She sips the tea that has turn cold.

Zane was the first to open his mouth.

"You can see the future right?"

Mira calmly place down her now empty tea cup.

"More or less."

A woman sitting next to Mira opened her mouth.

"Can we even trust her?"

Mira turn to the owner of that voice. A woman who seems to be over forties was sitting elegantly while staring at her. She has a common brown hair and brown eyes. Mira silently staring at her for some time. She recognize her even though the woman disguise herself with magic.

The woman started to feel uncomfortable but did not look away. Instead, she raise her eyebrows as if asking 'what seem to be the problem?'.

Mira opened her mouth as if responding to her gaze.

"Dark Mage Hunter."

She said three words. Only three word and the room turn cold.

Ava frown.

Mira continue talking without getting pressured by Ava cold eyes.

"A man with a scar on his cheek...."

"..."

"and a red machete."

The brown haired woman eyes opened wide.

"You know the man who murdered my husband?"

Her expression turn dark. She leaning closer to Mira and grabbed her shoulder. Ava strong grip causes Mira some pain but her expression did not change.

Mira push her hand nonchalantly before turn to look at others reaction.

"I'm not asking you to trust me.

I want you to hear me."

Other than Ava and Zane, there are two more people aside from her inside this tent. The two man looked back and fort between Ava and Mira before slowly nodding their head.

"I guess it won't hurt to listen to what she has to say." A man that seems to be the oldest said that before looking at Ava.

Mira knows why they become more willing to hear what she has to say.

It's because even though they knew that Ava husband is dead, they didn't knew much detail other than that.

Ava is the type of person who is very secretive. It's hard to even find out that she is a widow.

That's why when the calm and collected Ava get shaken up so badly like this, they were so surprised.

'Dark Mage Hunter.'

That name echoed in their mind. Black magic is looked down by many. Anyone who practice it will be shunned by the world. That's why anyone who practice dark magic is very good at hiding. Everyone in here knew a few of their friends who uses dark magic.

Including...

Zane.

Zane start to frown.
