THE ORIGINAL
CURIOSITIES

The cold temperature at night hugged the sparkling city, from afar it looked like a cloud was descending on the city. Inside her apartment, Winter felt an unbearable heat all over her body. The girl took off all the clothes attached to her body. Somehow Winter's eyes kept on the moonlight that pierced through the window of his apartment.

The girl opened the window of her apartment, letting in a lot of moonlight. He did not dare to stand in front of the window because of his condition that was not wearing anything, Winter just leaned his head on the bottom of the window frame.

The heat struck again, Winter had absolutely no idea what was going on inside her body. He looked instead at the bracelet that Peach said was made from Tribrid's blood. The girl sniffed her own bracelet and did not find any fishy smell on the bracelet.

"Arghh! Why is it so hot?!"

Winter took a bottle of water and drank it to the end without any pause at all. Feeling less, the girl turned on the air conditioner with the coldest temperature. It's strange, Winter still feels his blood boiling and makes it even hotter.

"Damn it! What's going on with me?" Winter rolled around like a furry animal, his attitude truly reflected that he was an animal.

Winter involuntarily licked his own two hands to dissipate the heat coming out of his body. When looking at her own reflection in front of the mirror, the girl gasped in shock to find herself acting like an animal. Winter's rush ended his activities and rushed to the mirror.

Both of Winter's eyes widened, he brought his face close to almost touching the flat surface of the glass. He immediately flinched backwards, Winter's right hand shaking as he wanted to touch the top of his head.

"Oh my... Wh-what's this??"

A pair of not-so-groomy triangular hairy ears came out from between Winter's straight hair. The girl ventured to brush her own hair, truly shocking! Both Winter's ears are out of place, Winter's human ears are replaced by a pair of animal ears complete with soft grey feathers.

"YARGHHH!!"

Winter screamed hysterically, deftly trying to pull both Wolf ears that appeared on his head. Instead of escaping, the action even made himself feel pain.

"Well... Huh... Huh..."

For a long time he tried to concentrate with his own mind so that the ear was lost and returned to normal, but to no avail. Winter who felt pain all over her body preferred to end the action. The girl crawled towards the moonlight that entered through her window and fell asleep in the moonlight.

•••••

The next morning, Winter awakens with ears that still have not changed. The girl decided not to come to school today, or maybe she would choose to drop out of school. Thanks to him who has often truant, most likely the scholarship he got with great difficulty will be revoked from him.

What's with these ears? - Winter.

Both of Winter's eyes were staring at a hat being dried by his next-door neighbor. Thanks to her being born a werewolf, Winter could easily jump onto the balcony of the next-door neighbor, deftly stealing the hat to cover her ears.

"Sorry huh? I'll borrow the hat!" Winter muttered softly asking for permission.

For the first time, Winter will be out of the house without a hairpick. Winter let her long, straight and beautiful hair unravel. Due to her Wolf ears appearing, Winter felt pain as she pigtailed her hair. The beautiful girl tried to match her clothes with her hairstyle this time, and... Don't forget the hat he stole!

"Do I really look like Fuu?" Said Winter while staring at her reflection in front of the mirror.

"Yes! You are so similar!! Even exactly!!"

The girl immediately looked back, again Densha appeared when she wanted to talk to someone. Apparently Winter has begun to accept the existence of Densha who suddenly appears like a ghost, when clearly Densha is the voice of his own mind.

"really??" Ask Winter curiously. "Is it really similar??"

"Hmm, you must have known!" Densha walks towards Winter. "You know exactly how Fuu spoke, which confused me why you changed the way you spoke??"

"Eh?? I didn't change anything!"

"Don't lie!" Densha folded both hands in front of the chest. "I know what you're thinking, because I'm just a shadow that you're calling out to tell me things you should know"

"Okay, fine!!" Winter glared at Densha, "I changed my way of speaking because all my friends in kindergarten bullied me, because of my strange way of speaking!! Anybody who calls himself by a name!"

"Oh yes?! Shouldn't you be grateful?" The man raised next to his eyebrows. "That means you're different"

"This difference is bad Densha!"

"No!" Densha shook her head slowly. "That makes you special, I'm pretty sure that my reincarnation in this world likes the real you"

"Curtain! I don't even want to admit that I'm Fuu!!"

"Eh??" Densha. "Why?? Didn't you just say a sacred word that was only spoken by Fuu??"

"Huh?? I-when I--"

"I-i...." The girl fell on the floor and her eyes were wide open. "Said??"

On the other hand, Arthur was cleaning the thick glasses that he would use today. Not to forget, he also opened a new packaging for his false teeth and deftly immediately wore it neatly.

Today, the man wanted to take a walk out of the dormitory in search of a book. He was very curious about the mermaid legend that he said is real, Arthur hopes the bookstore near his human school used to store a collection of mythological creature figures.

Just a few steps away from the room, Arthur meets Rene the dark-skinned witch. The girl greets Arthur, no one does not know that Arthur is actually a handsome man in disguise. All the residents of the dormitory knew this and did not care much about what the man wanted to do.

"Seeing you dress up like this, it looks like you want to go??"

"Yes, I want to buy a book"

"Bas on nerds!" Ledek Rene, of course it was just a joke. "What kind of book? Doesn't our library hold more than two thousand five hundred books??"

"I'm looking for a book about mermaids"

"Geez!" Rene looked down at Arthur. "Did you hit Odd?"

"Odd??"

"A few days ago in a social class when professor Shagasemi explained something about supernatural beings, he (Odd) asked and admitted to the whole class that he was reading a book about mermaids" Rene was lying on one corner of her lips.

"Why don't I know about it?"

"Aren't you busy with Hydra back then?"

Rene patted Arthur on the shoulder slowly before leaving the man, the girl threw a smile at Arthur and immediately entered his room which was only a few doors away from Arthur's room.

Odd??- Arthur.

The Phoenix man tried to remember Odd's room number but he could not remember it at all, the lovable shoots arrived! It seems like Arthur was destined to know everything about a mythological creature called a mermaid. Both of Arthur's eyes caught the figure of Odd walking while carrying a pile of books, it felt like Odd wanted to go to the library to return some books he had borrowed.

"Hey, Odd!!" Shouted Arthur who immediately followed Odd, the man took part of the book to lighten Odd's burden.

"Geez, you don't have to do it Arthur" stop the reticent Odd.

"It's okay, there's something I want to talk to you about"

"Eh??" Odd looked at the man beside him in confusion. "W-what??"

"You like mermaids, don't you?" Arthur chuckled softly. "There's a lot I want to know about the mermaid legend that the rumors are real"

"It's not just a rumor!!" Not nothing, Odd has firmly denied the words of Arthur. "I'm from that town myself"

"Hmm?? Whatchu mean??"

"Mermaid Fall's" said Odd calmly.

Nyut!

Arthur squinted his eyes when he was suddenly struck by dizziness. Inside his head Arthur was like a vague look at the city life he had never visited before. There was a piece of writing that appeared in Arthur's head and the sentence written was 'Phoenix High School'.

"You why Arthur??" Ask Odd who is worried.

"ah! Ti-ti-no, I'm fine"

(If you forget! Mermaid Fall's is the name of the town where Densha, Fuu and friends live in CHICKEN Novel. Phoenix High School is the name of Densha and Fuu's school)
