I Just want a Peaceful life



Fimas' anxiety worsened as time passed. He occasionally hears a soft creepy child laugh while staying inside his resting room.

"A-Are you sure all of you are not hearing any child sounds?" asked Fimas with a frightened face.

"*Sigh* Squad Leader, please don't joke around. We do not hear anything." said the other beastman.

"Urgh… Forget it. I must be too exhausted from the long journey. I will freshen up first, don't make any problem while I am gone." said Fimas sternly.

"Sure.. Sure…" said the other beastmans, enjoying the room facility like they owned it.

Seeing the others already enjoying themself, Fimas just shakes his head. Although they are in hostile territory, the beastman group is not anxious. Their rough upbringing and culture make them hardly get nervous unless meeting someone powerful like King Leon.

Under the guidance of another staff member nearby, Fimas walks towards the nearby public toilet. During this time, he no longer hears the child laugh sound and believes that he is just hallucinating from overwork.

"Tch… Like Father and Daughter, both of them are really slave drivers. I should never accept the Wada surname in the first place." muttered Fimas in a low voice.

Before receiving his current task from Merra, Fimas stays at Tascar kingdom, one of the four big kingdoms in the Humane region. He needs to travel thousands of kilometers in a single night at full speed to reach the Heart Kingdom's royal capital.

Fortunately, Fimas is one of the fastest and strongest beastman in Savan. Otherwise, it will take a longer time to reach the Royal Palace. After washing his face with fresh water, Fimas could see his tiredness from last night's journey.

"Hihihi…." a soft laugh heard from inside the washroom.

Fimas heard the same childish sound and could feel the presence of one of the closed cubicle toilets.

"Who's there?!!" shouted Fimas in panic.

Not getting an answer, Fimas asked one more time.

"Is there anyone here?" asked Fimas anxiously.

Fimas still got no response as the whole room turned eerie and silent. He only hears the water running sound in the background. He didn't know why, but the room looked creepy and spooky.

Braving himself, Fimas decides to approach the cubicle toilet anxiously. With a trembling hand, he opened the door while his heartbeat was pumping loudly. *Creak* The toilet door made quite an eerie rustic sound.

Seeing the empty cubicle toilet, Fimas could only release a deep sigh while shaking his head.

"Hi Hi Hi Hi…"

At this moment, another sound is heard from behind him. Fimas immediately turns back and finds a black silhouette flashing from the corner and out of the washroom.

Without hesitation, Fimas leaves the room and finds the whole hallway empty. At this moment, he immediately noticed the strangeness. Although the Heart Kingdom seems to trust them, they will never leave a foreigner beastman alone without supervision.

Moreover, he remembered the hallway should be full of guards standing at the corner and patrolling around. Yet, he couldn't find anyone nearby. The hallway is entirely silent without sound.

The entire area is too creepy to Fimas liking despite the bright sun illuminating it through the big glass window.

"Hello?!" called Fimas in panic.

Fimas didn't hear a reply, only his voice echoing through the large hallway. He never notices that the immensely huge Royal Palace could turn into a spooky place when it is empty.

Fimas is a very superstitious beastman and believes in ghost stories. His current condition is really frightening him. His short fur hair already stands straight along with his instinct going warry.

Without wasting any moment, he returned to his previous room, where his team stayed. As he wants to take another step, he feels a presence watching from behind him.

Fimas turns his head slowly and finds a small little girl with black hair and creepy black eyes looking at him with a smile. The little girl only shows her face and peeks from the thick pillar.

When he sees the girl's creepy smile, Fimas immediately turns around and tries to run away in a hurry. He pretends he doesn't know the mysterious creepy girl and hopes she will ignore him. At this moment, another little girl falls from above and stops in front of Fimas' face.

"BOO!!" said the falling girl.

"Ahhhhhh!!" screamed Fimas in surprise.

The next moment, he hears a door being opened and someone calls him.

"Master Beastman, is there anything wrong?" asked the butler, accompanied by a few guards.

At this moment, Fimas notices he is still inside the washroom and stands in front of the washbasin mirror he used not too long ago. Fimas looks around and finds he is still inside the previous restroom.

"W-What just happened? Is it an illusion?" muttered Fimas in confusion.

"Master Beastman, are you alright?" asked the butler again with worry.

"A-Ah.. No, I am just too tired. Let's go back now." said Fimas.

"S-Sure." replied the butler as the guards also shrugged in confusion.

As they leave the public washroom, Fimas feels relief when he finds some guards standing in every corner and patrolling around. He never thought he would be happy to see the guard patrolling in another kingdom's territory.

Just as he wants to follow the butler, he notices another presence from his perception at the same pillar where he finds the previous creepy girl peeking at him. With uncertainty, he tried to glance at the pillar and saw two familiar creepy girls looking at him.

*Bang* Couldn't hold anymore, Fimas immediately fell unconscious and slumped into the hard floor directly. This sudden movement surprised everyone nearby. Before approaching the Master Beastman, they notice twin Gemini chatting with each other near Fimas' body.

"He died?" asked Gemis.

"No, he is sleeping." replied Gemin.

"Isn't it cold?" asked Gemis again.

"I don't think he will feel it with that soft fur." said Gemin.

The twin Gemini look at each other with their creepy smiles. Before the guards nearby could react, the Twin Gemini carried the unconscious Fimas above their head and ran to who knows where.

The nearby guards and butler immediately turn around and go back to work, pretend not to see anything. They all know it is better not to disturb or get entangled with these two mischievous girls. Unbeknownst to everyone, Fimas' nightmare is only starting.
