BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

Episode 3: White boy, Black Girl/White boy, Black girl

Since then, a few days had already passed. In a sandy corner of the town of Adford, Hausent Hospital stands.

Jake was in a room where the victim was resting and had one in mind. The first victims of cases like those discovered by the Bells are brought to the hospital one after the other.

“Orbs can only be seen by people under some sort of demonic influence. He who made a covenant with the devil, he who inherited magic by blood. There are a lot of things that normal people can't see anyway."

Belle was remembering what Jake told her.

"Does that mean I'm the only one who can see..."

"Excuse me!"

When Bell was whining alone, suddenly the door directly behind Bell opened in momentum.

"It hurts!

The corner of the open door just hit Bell's back. Nothing hurts more than an unexpected shock.

"Oh, excuse me"

Jake grins bitterly as he makes his face peek through the door, sorry.

"Mr. Jake. Don't surprise me!

Lili stroked her chest down.

"Mr. Jake, it's terrible! Please knock when entering the room!

Bell stares at Jake as he rubs his back. I'm a little angry, not to say unintentional.

"hahahaha...... sorry"

"More than that, I forgot to mention something. According to the Black Magic Book (Grimoire), only the devil can pull the orb out of the vessel, or body. Maybe there's a demon lurking in this town. Be very careful if you are going out."

Bell reacts unexpectedly to the words. I don't know if there are any other demons in this town, but if there are demons, there's definitely one here.

But I don't remember pulling out the orb. It's hard to even think that Lili was moved by the devil because she was with him all the time.

Belle and Lili looked at each other, and we both heard the word demon, so we had no choice.

"Oh, really?"

Lili opened her mouth to break the silence that lasted for a while.

"Well, don't you dare. We'll go outside. Hey kid......"

Following that, Bell also opened his mouth. I guess I'm going to dare to go outside and even change my mood.

Looking at Allen, he seemed comfortable, asleep on the couch. The sleeping face is like an angel.

"I'll take care of this girl. Please be careful..."

Jake saw how the two of them were not sure what to do and suggested that he take on Allen's babysitting.

"Thank you. Ha... I'd rather my parents take me home like this"

As Bell thanked Jake, he snapped with a small voice as he sighed.

"Well, I'm gonna go for a little while"

"If you feel any danger, come back soon"

Bell greeted lightly and left Hausent Hospital behind. Jake hopes for their safety.

"So? Are you seeing an orb?

Lili peered into Bell's face.

Bell keeps his robe together just like he did earlier, hiding his face in the hood. The outing must be carried out with great care.

"Huh? Ah, ah. Well...... haha..."

Bell replied, what a broken tooth. I guess I'm deluding something.

"You definitely don't see..."

Lili stares at Belle with suspicion. Would there be such a plain lie?

"You know, look. I've never even noticed that before. I'm not sure."

Bell couldn't see an orb. Bell's right eye hasn't opened much since he put Arrosha in his body. It is the right eye that is strongly influenced by the devil. Maybe I can see it if my right eye opens.

"Well, it doesn't make sense to go out there. Let's get back to the hospital. He said there might be demons."

Lili knew, but she's disappointed. Maybe I'd rather stay with Jake than act with Bell.

"Ugh..."

Shortly afterwards, suddenly Bell began to suffer. He has his head.

"Huh? Hey, what's going on?

Lili is worried about Bell for a sudden event.

It was the first time Lili had seen Bell suffering so far. Keeping up with Bell means saying this will continue to happen.

"Hehe, my right eye hurts. Lili, I'm sorry, but I can't go home yet."

That's when Bell's right eye opened slightly. The right eye, which had always been closed, was hidden in the long forehead.

At this time Bell lifts his forehead and exposes his right eye.

The iris of those eyes, flaming on an abominable night, was stained red. At this time, the burns left on the right half of his face also appeared to Lili.

"Huh? What do you mean?

Lili didn't know what Bell was talking about. I wasn't even familiar with Bell's right eye being closed all the time.

And then, to the painful wounds she'd never seen before, she breathed.

"So I can see. Blurry in my right eye..."

Bell smiled.

"Hey, I don't know what it is, but you're lucky!

Lili was honestly pleased to know that Bell was also worth using.

Bell's right eye sees an orb of blurry spheres floating around like an irregular line over his head.

The herd of orbs also seemed to line up somewhere, as if to lead the Bells. It also looks like it's just floating irregularly, but if you look closely, it's definitely leading somewhere.

Bell moves on to the one where the orb continues.

"Hey! Where are you going?

Lili spoke to Bell walking out as if he had been manipulated by something. It's also natural to be puzzled by the bell walking out without saying anything.

Just shut up and follow me.

Bell is laughing happily. Belle seems kind of happy that she realizes she's useful. Bell follows the orb, just proceeds.

Where Orb invited him, there was a large mansion there. It was suspicious in a luxurious atmosphere and somewhere old-fashioned.

The plaque was inscribed with the letter "Gopher".

There were several orbs gathered over this gopher mansion. The orbs gathering over the sky disappear one after the other into the hall, as if sucked in.

"... can there be such an easy thing to understand?"

Bell was clapping because he reached a suspicious place too easily. I'm pretty sure you think there's some kind of hint here.

"Oh? That's a face you don't see. What can I do for you?

As Belle and Lili stopped in front of the gates of the Gopher residence, a middle-aged man who was nearby came and talked.

This man was the sheriff who was watching out for the gatekeeper when Bell broke into Adford.

Wearing a white tengalon hat and a star-shaped badge on the chest part of his shirt, he feels like a sheriff.

I have a mustache stored on its face, and did I feel like I said I could count on a sheriff?

"Ah, yes. What's this mansion?

Lili opens her mouth distracting. It's the sheriff in front of you right now. I guess you thought it was wiser for you to talk than Bell.

"Right here? This is Mr. Goefer's house. Even so, this hall hasn't had a husband for 11 years"

"So no one's been in or out of this house for 11 years?

"That's not how it works, is it? A strange man came to this house before."

The sheriff said so in a disgusting way.

"Huh? Doesn't that person have anything to do with Mr. Gopher?

Lili was following the sheriff's story.

"Was that definitely 5 years ago? There was a man in this town who wanted to see you from somewhere else. He was the one with the white hair. Apparently it had nothing to do with Mr. Goefer, but somehow he snuck into this mansion."

"Isn't that a crime? Are you glad I didn't catch you?

Lili is trying to keep the story going so that the sheriff doesn't draw Bell's attention.

"Oh, it's a crime. That's what makes this mansion huge. I went looking for him, but I didn't know where he was. Then, less than a year later, the man's sightings went up. But in the end, it looks like he left Adford before I could see him."

"What exactly was the purpose of the man?

"I don't know. He just seemed like a very unusual person. They heard strange voices from the mansion while he was there. Anyone who knew he existed called him" The White Boy. "

The sheriff finished talking about the white boy.

A white boy who left Adford with many mysteries. Why the hell did he visit this town? And who was it?

"That's right. So no one lives here now."

Lili was interested in the mysterious white boy.

Besides, the fact that Bell stopped definitely means this is the place to hold some key. Lili tried to gather as much information on this mansion as she could.

"Not really. I recently caught a woman breaking into this mansion. Well, compared to a white boy, they call him" The Black Girl. "

To the white boy, the black girl. What the hell is there to say about this mansion where mysterious people enter and leave?

"Why are orbs all over town concentrating here?

Bell, who doesn't read the air, has spoken out here. You seem to realize that contact with the person in front of you is not convenient for you.

"Oh? Can you see the orb? So you're a wizard?

The sheriff finally shows interest in Bell. Lili sighed in her heart.

"Huh? Well... yeah"

Bell responds modestly when he looks at Lili's expression and observes the situation.

"Right. Who are you?

Suddenly the sheriff changed his attitude. The casual atmosphere just now has disappeared and is exfoliating hostility.

"When you ask someone else, don't you start with yourself?

Bell also takes an aggressive attitude toward the sheriff who comes out in an aggressive manner.

"So is that. My name is Hamel Raymond. Sheriff of this town."

Hamel was convinced of what Bell said and introduced himself. Pretty shitty situation. The sheriff put my eyes on me.

……………

Bell couldn't say anything to Hamel for introducing herself. You can't name me here.

"Oh? Is that also why you can't be named? I'm almost too suspicious from the looks of it!

That said, Hamel tries to peek into Bell's face, but Lili rushes in between.

"Fair enough! It's not. This guy, he's shy. People just look at me and my face turns bright red. So I'm embarrassed and I'm hiding my face ~... ohohohohohohohohohohohohoho"

Lili made up a reason why Bell was hiding his face. It is quite impossible because it is an improvised lie. Will this convince Hamel?

"Oh... oh... yeah"

To make Lili's story true here, Bell utters words shyly. It sounds like a lie to see this too. You're too bad at acting. Lili shouted that in her heart.

…………

Hamel, who saw how it was, did not utter a word for a while.

Strange air flows between the three of us. After all, there was no way such a clear lie could have worked for adults.

"Right. That's tough."

The two anticipations fell far short. How dare Hamel believe Lili's lies? Let me tell you something.

Belle and Lili shouted, "Stop lying” almost simultaneously in their hearts.
