The Legendary Ghost Curse
VERACITY

Arthur's eyes widened as Clara said what her real father's name was, the words coming out of the girl's mouth were like a spear piercing through her ear.

"Clara, what do you mean?" Ask Arthur who is confused.

"Arthur, is my speech less clear? My real father's name is Wilson!" As Clara grew, the girl began to raise her voice.

"Mr Wilson is your real father? But if it's true that my former colony chief was your father, how could you part with him?" Ask Arthur back.

Clara wiped the tears that fell to her cheeks, as if she found it difficult to tell Arthur about her family.

"I haven't seen my dad since I was a kid, my mom said my dad died of a curse, my mom just said my dad's name was Wilson" Clara said.

Arthur finds it hard to believe Clara's words, but seeing Clara's cry as baffled as Arthur becomes increasingly confused to understand the situation.

"mmm... But, it could be that my Mr. Wilson is someone else, a lot of people in this world called Wilson" said Arthur, trying to calm Clara by stroking her hair.

"Arthur, a child will feel something if the name of his parents is spoken" said Clara.

"I felt something in my heart when you said Wilson's name" he said.

"But... What about your mother's words?" Ask Arthur back.

"I don't know! I don't know if my mother lied or if my father survived I don't know Arthur!!" Clara cried, she began to cry again after yelling at Arthur.

Arthur was instantly speechless after Clara shouted at him, Arthur did not know what to do to calm the crying girl. Arthur himself did not understand the situation Clara at this time, the girl was still joking and scolding Arthur but now suddenly the girl was crying bitterly after Arthur said the name of the colonist.

"Clara, come back" Arthur holds Clara's shoulders and helps her to stand up.

Clara wiped her tears again and obeyed Arthur's words, she was standing on the aid of Arthur who was holding both shoulders.

"Relax yourself, we're home now" Arthur set foot on his way back to the colony. However, he immediately stopped when he realized that Clara was not stepping.

"Claras?" Arthur asked Clara, who was still in her place.

"I want to meet your colony chief!!" Clara said in a firm tone.

"What?! Wait, what are you talking about?" Arthur, of course, felt shocked after hearing Clara's wish.

"I want to meet my father!! Is that unclear?!!" Jerky Clara.

"Clara, Mr. Wilson is not necessarily your real father" Arthur said, trying to remain patient with the angry Clara.

"Oh, so you're saying my dad's dead?"

*deg's...

Clara's words this time make Arthur's chest pounding, Arthur does not know that the words that come out of his mouth will offend Clara.

"No! That's not what I meant.." Arthur tries to explain to Clara with the intent of his words.

*Plack...

A pretty violent slap landed on Arthur's face, and the one who did that was Clara. The girl slapped Arthur's face without any cue and immediately passed away leaving Arthur still transfixed.

Arthur remained silent before he finally held his face that had just been slapped by Clara. The slap seemed to make the time around Arthur stop.

Arthur did not expect that Clara would change so dramatically, Arthur himself did not want to hurt Clara, but the girl immediately felt offended after hearing Arthur's words.

"Well, what can I do, if I am going to die I will accept it willingly" Arthur said, holding his stomach.

...----------------...

"No, you know that the journey is far and dangerous? In addition, we need you to battle against the Scarecrow in a moment" said Fergie, who was sitting in her chair.

"Sir, I want to see my father, please let me go" Clara said.

Clara is currently in Fergie's room, she is there because she wants to ask Fergie for permission to go to Arthur's former colony. Clara wants to go to see Wilson, who she says is her real father.

"Clara, I've traveled there to pick up Arthur, and believe me, I'm dealing with some very strong ghosts, even I was also made a hassle" said Fergie.

The old man really did not allow Clara to leave now. Of course, the ban is not without reason, the distance of the Fergie colony residence with the Wilson colony residence is very far. It was too dangerous for Clara to make that journey alone, and soon the battle against the Scarecrow would begin.

"Master, I can definitely take care of myself, I'll be back here as soon as I meet my father" Clara kept trying to persuade Fergie to let him go.

"Clara I know how you feel, but it's also about your safety, we've lost enough members, and I can't afford to lose you, you're the one who matters in the battle" said Fergie again.

"I beg you! I'll do anything!" Clara suddenly prostrated herself to Fergie in order to plead with her.

Fergie honestly did not have the heart to see Clara who begged until it was so to him, plus it was seen on the girl's face that she was holding back crying now. However, Fergie still did not want to allow Clara to make the dangerous journey.

"Master, let Clara go with me"

Arthur suddenly enters the room and makes Fergie and Clara surprised.

"Arthur?" Clara had no idea Arthur would support her.

"Arthur, do you know that it's dangerous? You could have lost your life, how could I have taken such a risk? I don't want to lose my Aces" Fergie told Arthur.

"Sir, we can go there with lightning speed using Mr. Joseph's Angel" Arthur said.

"No" said Clara.

"Huh?"

"I've spoken to Mr. Joseph first, and he wouldn't do it if Mr. Fergie wouldn't let me go" Clara said with a sad look on her face.

"And I can't possibly let you two go" Fergie said.

Desperation was clearly reflected on Clara's face, the girl was sad because her desire to leave was not allowed by Fergie.

"Master" call Arthur.

"Yes? What's up, Arthur?" Ask Fergie.

"Let us both go or... I'm not going to fight the Scarecrow!".
