Midnight when the atmosphere is getting quieter and quieter. The gray and white painted house still had a bright glow indicating that the host body of the Emrys Legacy was still awake.
Kai and Rex watched the house from a distance. The two of them are now making plans for what they will do next after learning that the heirloom is lodged in a girl's body.
"I have studied cases of this kind. That girl is the second person after Queen Aria to be able to house a shard of Inheritance in her body. She is exactly 17 years old today. That is the reason why the signal of the Emrys Legacy was only able to reveal itself. This case is likely to be complicated and become a new task for us. Because to remove the heirloom from his body is impossible."
Kai, who was hiding in a dense tree near the house, could only give an annoyed facial expression. The task he has shouldered is enough to make him feel burdened, and now he must be faced with an even more complicated case.
The fragments of the Emrys inheritance that lived in the bodies of other living beings were completely fused and could not possibly be separated. Because if the heirloom was forcibly removed, then the heirloom could lose its power, and its host's body would also be destroyed and disappear.
And if Kai did that, he would be like a killer. Kai will also fail to get the heirloom. This place wasn't in Amalthea, where he could use his magical abilities at will. There was nothing Kai could do unless he took the girl to Amalthea.
"I wonder why an ordinary Earth girl, could hold a shard of the Emrys Legacy. Don't you think this is strange? I wouldn't be surprised if we were in Amalthea right now. But this is on Earth, where no magic works in this place."
"I'm also looking into this. But I think this is Hugo Lorelei's plan that we didn't expect. He used a forbidden spell so that the girl could contain the Emrys Legacy. The reason is obvious so it won't be easy for us to get the heirloom. And that could buy enough time long until he can get out of Black Cliff prison."
"But unfortunately I'm not going to wait until she's free. If that happens, then our journey has been in vain. So, what information do you get about that girl?"
Rex at that time changed his form into the figure of a young girl with long hair tied in a ponytail. Wearing a white and gray school uniform, even carrying a cute bag and he is currently searching for a piece of paper containing information about the girl they are discussing.
Out of nowhere, he got the inspiration to change his form to be like that, Kai currently doesn't even care. Usually, he would grumble at length if Rex changed his form into various figures. But luckily this time she didn't turn into a sexy woman wearing only a bikini.
"Her name is Isla Larasati. She is 17 years old today and she is still in high school level 2. The second child of three siblings, but all her family live in different cities. This house is not her house but belongs to her brother. They call her Uncle, Aunt, but it can also be Aunt, Uncle, or Bude.."
"Can you explain something more important please!"
"Hmmm... Okay. The point is that this girl lives in this house because she was sent to school by the owner of this house. However, her life seems not lucky. Because she is often treated badly both in this place and at school."
"So you're saying he was bullied?"
"You could say that. Because she's pretty and smart enough, some people don't like her including her cousin. But the owner of this house is very kind to her."
Kai was silent for a while after Rex finished his explanation. He looked back at the glowing room on the first floor where the light slowly began to dim and finally disappeared, leaving nothing but darkness.
Kai looked around and immediately went downstairs without making a sound while reassuring himself that there was no more activity in the house.
"What are you going to do?" rebuked Rex from above in a hushed voice. But Kai quickly disappeared, making the magic cat who was disguised as a cute girl immediately follow him.
Kai stopped in front of Isla's bedroom window. It is very impolite for a man to peek into a girl's room. But Kai just wants to see more clearly how the girl's life is. The life of someone who might be involved in events and long journeys with him one day.
Kai used his magic power to open a gap in the closed curtains of the room. Inside there was only a dim light that came from a lamp above the study table. The dark-haired girl was asleep on the table with a pile of books still open.
The room was also not wide and full of piles of clothes that were neat as if they had been ironed. He had done heavy work until he fell asleep while doing the task.
Seeing that sight Kai immediately sighed and rushed back to close the window curtains.
"I think she's a good girl," Rex said after he witnessed what Kai saw. But the young man did not answer and immediately left the place before any occupants would catch him.
*****
After that day, Rex's daily duties were to monitor the life of the girl named Isla for 24 hours straight. Meanwhile, Kai still has to work and is taking care of his transition from an office worker to a teacher.
Yes. Kai has applied for the vacant position of supervising teacher at the school where Isla is studying. There is no other way for Kai except that he must also enter into the scope of the girl and approach her slowly. Kai didn't want to waste any more time.
He had also sent a secret message to one of his brothers and told him what had happened to the last shard of Emrys. Kai didn't want this news to spread and wanted to deal with it on his own for as long as he could. But he needed advice and solutions on how he could get the Emrys Legacy without injuring the girl.
One thing that was on Kai's mind after learning about this phenomenon was that he had to tell Margus as soon as possible. The herb expert is also his uncle but he lives in seclusion in the border forest. Margus could help himself, find a way so he could take out the Emrys Legacy without sacrificing the girl's life.
For three full days, Rex observed the girl's life. Follow wherever he goes even when he was at school. It's not difficult anyway because Rex can make himself transparent. And the sight he saw made Rex even more compassionate about the girl's life.
She is beautiful and smart, but her life is miserable because many people hate her. Rex reports all his duties to Kai about Isla's life. The young man studied it seriously and started making plans in his mind. Because tomorrow he has started working as a supervising teacher at the school.
