"Rylee! Why'd you steal the last kill?! Ugh! I could've win if I kill the last!" Noah groaned and blames Rylee for taking the opportunity, "excuse me, I've seen them first! And there's only 5 seconds left! If you arrive before the times run out, I could give the kill for you!" Rylee argues back, "Tch, whatever." Noah said didn't want to admin his lateness. "Just say that, your aiming skill is bad." Rhea snickered, making fun of his aiming skill. "Oi!!! Don't get cocky! Our differences is just 1 kill!" Noah shouts pissed, "Oi, oi! Calm down you ass!" Kanae said joining the fight, "what did you say shorty?!" Noah asks angrily.
"And here we go again." Michael sighs, "Pfft, childish." Rhea mocks, leaning on her chair. "The oldest speak." Rylee snickered, while drinking a cola on her hand, "Granny." Noah teases, "Asshole." Rhea replies, "Granny. When will you die?" Noah asks mocking her, "Until you died." Rhea replies laughing afterward. "Oh my god! Can we start the game again?!" Noah said impatiently, "only if you two stop fighting." Rylee said, not gonna press the Start button until the two calm down and be friendly.
"Tsk, fine." Noah groans, "Alright." Rhea smirks, remembering this game is friendly fire. "Don't ever think to take advantage on friendly fire Rhea!" Rylee said catching her red handed. "Tsk, how'd you know?" Rhea scowls crossing her arms. "I've know you for a long time." Rylee said before starting the game.
They play until 13:00, since they need to do their own things. Rhea is feeling sleepy, and decided to sleep, but before she sleep, she sets her alarm up, at 17:00, since she wanted to go out for a while.
Clark sit on his seat, his eyes reading the files he's holding on his right hand, as he use his left hand to lean his left cheek on. He releases a sigh, and put the files down, and looks at the man standing in front of him, "can you search more info about him?" He asks, as the man bow slightly, "understood. I shall be back in 2 days." He said and proceed to walk away, "wait." Clark said stopping him as the man turns around, "Be careful. Please take this mission lightly." Clark said visible worries reflected on his face.
The man smile a little, "Of course, I will. See you in 2 days, Clark." He said waving a little, as he leaves Clark's office.
Mikazuki slapped Mark's back and sit beside him, "Ouch! What was that for?!" Mark yelled rubbing his back, "Psh, don't be a cry baby." Mikazuki snickered and offered him a coffee, "thanks." Mark replied and grabbed the coffee from her hand, and blows at the coffee, since it may be too hot for him. Mikazuki do the same while swinging her legs back and forth, gazing at the sunset from Tempest's rooftop.
"Any news from Clark?" Mikazuki asks looking at him, "Not yet." Mark replies as he drinks on the coffee. "From boss?" Mikazuki asks once again. "No." Mark replies shrugging. Mikazuki sighs, "guess we'll have to wait a little bit longer to know who we are facing with." She said, "Yeah, our priority is just Mistress Rhea's safety." Mark said putting the coffee beside him.
The two sit in silence, while staring at the sunset. None of them start a conversation, until Mikazuki does. "Hey…when are you gonna retire from this agent thingies?" She asks as she plays with her fingers, "Huh? I don't know. I'm not sure…after I know who I loves with all of my heart maybe? I will retire." Mark shrugs, "Really? I hope you find one soon." Mikazuki smiles at him, "thanks!" Mark beamed, "how about you? When will you retire?" He asks her the same questions she asked, "well…I'm not sure…I don't seems to find a thing to not likes this job." Mikazuki replies looking back to the sunset.
"Oh! Mikazuki!" Mark whispers, and points to Rhea who walked out the house, nicely dressed. "Where is she going?" Mikazuki asks, "Dunno. Should we went after her?" Mark asks, "I don't know…but these peoples always shows at this hours. I think we should." Mikazuki said, "Alright! Hop on the car!" Mark said jumping down the rooftop, and lands beside his car, as he opens open the front door, "Lady's first." He said jokingly, allowing her to come in.
"Pfft, you're funny." Mikazuki laughs and get in the car, Mark chuckled and closed the door, he then went in the driving seat, and close the door when he got in. "Stay hidden right?" He asked while putting the key in, "Yeah. Mistress Rhea might get mad if she know we're following her." Mikazuki said, pressing a few button in front of them.
Rhea relentlessly gazed at the city, lamp along the road were turn on due to the dark sky. The road were covered in snow, many kids playing around, chasing after each other, as Rhea stares at them, 'It must be fun having a childhood like that…' She thoughts as she compares her childhood to their childhood, it has so much difference, being a free spirit must be fun, rather than a bird stuck in a cage, unable to do anything outside the cage, all you can feel is, boredom, hollowness and loneliness.
Little Rhea looked out from her window, seeing kids her age playing with each other. A bright smile formed on her face as she get down from the window and runs to her father office that is beside Allison's room, while Allison's room is across her room.
She barged in his office without thinking, since excitement is filling up on her head, "Dad!" She beamed, jumping up and down happily. Connor sighed and massage his forehead, "Please knock first, dear." He said scolding her, "Ah! Sorry!" Rhea apologies as she smiled brightly. Connor smiled a little and motioned his hand for her to come, which Rhea happily obliged and got in front of him. "What cause you to come here?" He asked, "Can I play outside? There's a lot of kids outside! I want to play too!" Little Rhea said excitedly, and waited for her father responds.
The smile on Connor's face disappeared, and respond, "No. You are not allowed to play outside. Please asks your mother to play with you." He said with a cold, monotone voices. Little Rhea eyes widened in shock as she tries to speak, "B-But…why?" She asked, tears swelled up in her eyes. "No means no. There's a reason why I didn't let you plays with these commoners. And I can't explain to you now." Connor replies, his emotionless eyes gazing down at her.
When little Rhea hears what her father says, she teared up and runs out Connor's office, holding to her teddy bear tightly. Connor sighed and pull out a files from his desk, staring at Rhea's level, that is insanely big than the kids around her age. Kids her ages is always at level 1.0 to 2.0, not 4.0. Also, kids under 5 cannot perform Magic until they're 7-9, and when they're hit those ages, their level will automatically be 5.0 or so. 1.0 to 4.9 are just temporary.
"Mistress! We're here! The place you asked me to stop at." Markus said snapping her back to reality, "Ah, right. Pick me up here again at 19:00. I'll be going." Rhea said, opening the door beside her and step out. "See you later!" Markus smiles, as Rhea closes the door. Shortly, Markus leaves the area, leaving her on her own, or so she thoughts.
"It's so cold here…" Rhea mutters covering her mouth with her scarf, as she went in the store in front of her. The store is filled with anime figures, manga, and many other things that relates to anime. Though, it feels like heaven for her. She happily went to the figures sections and finds for the figures she wanted.
It took her quite a while to finds the figures she wanted and buy it. Luckily, her banks is packed, seems like her father still feeding up her bank even after he knows how Rhea's reaction when she meets him. Rhea probably gonna respect him again when she know what's his reasons to do all these things.
She walked along the sidewalk, her hands stuffed inside her pockets as the plastic bag hang on her right wrist. She walked in silence, until a weird sound is heard on an alleyway besides her. She doubted that should she check what's in there, or should she just walk away. Of course, her curiosity wins, as she decided to go in the alleyway.
And when she got in, the noise gets louder, she walk deeper into the alleyway, instead of getting louder, the noises disappears, leaving her with much questions. She's distracted with her own mind, that she doesn't realize someone is behind her. The person behind her quietly sneaks behind her, they pulled out a dagger and raises it on their right hand, devilish grins appears on their face as they swings their dagger down, aiming at her neck.
