Chapter Thirty-one
"You became silent? What's up? " he asked.
"Nothing. I just remembered someone, "I answered.
"Oh. Well, yeah I said I got into the secret library. I didn't know that there was such a thing here. Maybe a lot is hidden here in this building. Main quarter, eh. It's like I want to wander. Like you. "
"W-Wait, did you go to the secret library? " I asked again.
"Yes. Do you have a problem there? "
My nervousness began to rise all over my body. I just returned the book which contained all the important information on ES, including the name of the Legendary heads. It's just there in the middle that can be seen immediately.
Compared to me, Klein is more curious about things especially if it really gets his attention. Impossible… he didn't see or read it.
"Did you see a book there? "
"Yes. What are you, Xeena. It wouldn't be a library if it doesn't have books. "
"That's not what I meant. Did you see the book in the middle? "
"There's a lot of middle, Xeena. "
"You're sounded green," I said in a low tone.
He grinned.
"Not me, maybe you. You are perverted, you are bad, Xeena ... "
I stared at him.
We finished our meal and that's where time started to run fast. The next few days, we flew to Russia. We prepared winter clothes because they said, it was cold there. Winter is still near there.
Yeah, Winter.
I glanced at Celestina. Are they still talking with Winter? Even though they are gone, I know that they still love each other very much.
We landed in Russia in the morning. Agent 76 greeted us.
"Agent 44, good morning," she said.
"When else did I have a good morning? "I asked in sarcastic tone.
Freyia hushed me.
"Don't be mean. You don't seem to be the only star. "
I glared at her.
"Well, nice to meet you, Agent 76. I'm agent 38, by the way. This agent 45, 66 and 27. " She pointed the others.
"Eh, him? You will not introduce? " 76 asked while pointing at Agent 89.
Freyia's tongue seemed to recede on purpose. Maybe, she knows that too. Maybe what H says is true, somehow. He wasn't the only one who kept quiet, they all kept quiet. I was the only one to answer him.
"Well, he's Agent 89. A new member and a head," I answered.
"Oh, wow! Nice to meet you! You come in, it's a little cold. "
"Oh, yes! Well you thought too ... "Klein whispered.
"Well, do you know what you're going to do tonight? " she asked. I shook.
"Hasn't the head told you yet? "
"Well, obviously," I replied.
"Okay, then. All of us agents here are ready. We expected you to be ready as well. "
"Can you just tell us what we will do? " I asked. She just smiles and it makes me hate her. A lot.
I also don't know why.
Hate at first sight, it is.
"Well, it's just an easy thing. You're going to be in the monitoring system to let us know if anything strange is happening, " she replied.
I was stunned.
Monitoring?!
"Wait, what?! " I took a deep breathe. "No way! I can't agreed on that thing! Do you wanted to be dead now?! " I shouted. My eyes also widened.
Agent 76 laughed.
"Meh, fight at first sight? Haven't seen that in my entire life, " she said.
"Ah, so not yet. Well, maybe it's time. I'm gonna be the example. " I forced a smile.
"Look, this is an order from the heads, in Philippines. Don't throw your madness at me. It will look you a stupid agent, " she added. My mouth opened in awe. She's really want to have a fight with the most beautiful, intelligent agent, huh?
And...
She even called me a stupid?
So she have chosen death...
My gaze deepened on Agent 76. She's really has some plans to fight me and now yet we have an important mission. How annoying.
"Agent 76, if I were you, I wouldn't say that, " Klein said weakly. The others agreed on him.
"Oh dear, why I feel like I'm the wrong one here? I'm just saying the order of the heads. Come one, and as if I would be in tremble at Agent 44. I'm her senior. Why should I be afraid of junior? " she asked. So she's one of the oldest agents here. Now I know why she is like that. There is no doubt that.
"Then, as a respect. I will not do it again. Just be good too. Even if you're still a senior, if I don't like the you the way you talk to me, skreek! " I gestured my hand, making it on the same level of my neck and then I signed a death. The agent in front of me just shook his head.
"Okay so, the auction is later—"
"How many of you agents are in the auction later? " I asked her. She bit her lip. She doesn't want anyone to cut her line.
"Well, I don't know. But, mostly attendees are agents so you don't have to worry. We don't need your help anymore, Agent 44. Because all the agents are seniors. We've got a good combat skills. So that we can defeat them. You are the only juniors who were included in our group. And I really wonder that, " she replied.
My forehead furrowed.
I really can't help being annoyed with her. In my too much annoyance with her, I really wanted to stab her in the neck. But, I really needed to temper myself. We might even get into trouble.
"Okay. I just asked how many the agents will be there. Tch, you said too much. We have a better knowledge about the event later. You don't need to tutor us more. Tsk, please just take us to our rooms." She grinned.
"Follow me, then."
I sneezed when she walked over to us first.
"Seriously? She's our senior? It's not obvious ah. It's like Tina looks even more senior than her," Klein whispered. I glanced at him.
"I heard that! You're insulting my beauty, Agent 45," Celestina promised. My face is almost torn.
"I didn't mean to but hell yeah! Truth hurts!" Klein added.
"Hey, hey. Don't add to Agent 44's headache. That's causing too much stress for her, she's no longer the star of our mission," Freyia said. I bit my lip.
Okay, calm down, Xeena.
Those are your co-agents.
"Awts, it feels like a pain to listen to that. So, what's the feeling? Is it a tragedy?" Celestina laughed.
"Will you all please shut up? Goodness, why did I put you on the same team? This is so hopeless…" I whispered.
"Nah, we'll do a good job so. Don't lose hope, 44. You're still the star of this mission. It's just that someone took your place." Klein tapped my shoulders.
"Stop talking like I'm depressed or anxious about that. Geez, " I sneezed again. They are really annoying. I just shook as I followed our proud senior. He took us to our rooms and good thing, we were alone. Well, this is what I really want.
I will have privacy.
Ever since H came to my dorm, I liked to always be alone in the room. I don't know but I really like it ang ayaw ko lang is, those feelings for him, that feeling that I'm waiting for him. I don't like that.
Because of that, I always tell myself that I'm still H's enemy. He's still the Bruse mafia's leader who killed your whole family. Yeah, right. He's my enemy. A demon that needed to be killed.
