Rosangel Orphanage : Extra
Standing inside a huge white church. There are so many children playing before, but now, they all staring at us. Maybe because they have visitors or maybe because they're curious who we are and what are we doing here.
I stare at the girl beside me, she has a small body for a twenty-one-year-old and black hair, but what most will catch your attention is her golden eyes glowing right now. Maybe she's excited. But there's one thing that bugs me.
*Why we're even here?*
"Hey, Ernesta."
"Yeah?"
She really looks excited and happy.
"What are we doing here?"
"What do you mean?"
*Is she playing dumb or what?*
"What I mean is, why are we in the orphanage?"
"Oh, this? We're here to enjoy."
*This girl!*
It's not just that I'm here in the orphanage is only my problem. The other is that all of the members of A-1 Headquarters are here also. I'm getting to get nervous about what's happening now in headquarters.
"Woah! It's Mr.Hiro and Lulu!"
Some of the children run towards Hiro and Lulu while the others keep staring at us.
"Ernesta. You know we have some things to take care of in headquarters you know."
"Don't worry about that."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember my childhood friend that also a Vice Commander?"
"You mean Relaine? The Vice-Commander of A-2 Headquarters?"
"Yup!"
*Wait?*
"Are you two that close?"
"Of course!"
"Really?"
"Oh come on Lisa. Relaine and I are friends before we even met."
I know they know each other for a long time, but they always fight whenever I see them. No, it's like Relaine is always angry at her. Of course, Ernesta will just ignore that and laugh at her.
*I feel bad about her.*
"Come here, little children! Big sister Ernesta will play with you all."
Ernesta starts running towards the children.
*Did she really loves kids that much?*
"Woah! She's beautiful!"
Some of the kids went to Vinna, maybe they been attracted by her beauty.
"Bang bang! Did you like that?"
On Rick's side, he's showing off his shooting skills, although he's not really firing them. I wish he wouldn't dare.
"Such a good girl."
Darius patted one of the kid's heads.
"Me too!"
Many children went to Darius, maybe because of the innocent look that makes kids comfortable with him.
"Hey hey! Can I hold your katana?"
"No"
"Awww! So mean."
"It's dangerous."
Some of the kids went to Greg because of his katana.
I saw Hiro sitting at the corner with a tanned-skinned girl with blonde-haired that tie in a twin tail. They are the only two there.
*Are they close?*
"Hey, Lulu let's play outside."
"Yeah."
Lulu and the other children went outside to play.
*It's good to see she has some friends that the same age as her.*
Lulu is the youngest member of A-1 Headquarters. Of course, she would be lonely sometimes since no one play with her, well, except for Ernesta.
As for Ernesta, she looks happy while lifting one of the kids. Even though she's second to the oldest member, she's the most childish among us. Well, she's the one who gives light and joy to A-1 members.
"Okay kids, just behave. Don't move and loud so much, okay?"
It's the nun who spoke. She has long black hair and beautiful brown eyes. Even though most of her body is covered, I can see to her face and hands that she has pale skin.
I approach the nun.
"You must be the ex-member of A-2 Headquarters? Sister Evangeline."
"Yes, I am, Commander Elizabeth."
"I see, you must be enjoying being a nun here."
"Yes, of course. After all, I really love kids."
*Same as Ernesta.*
"By the way sister, sorry for bothering here."
"No no, it's okay. Miss Ernesta call us before coming here, so I have no complaint."
*I wonder, what Ernesta said to her.*
"That's good then. Don't worry, we won't be long here."
"It's okay, you can stay here as much as you want. After all, you save us from those Outsiders."
"Hiro and Lulu are the ones who save you but okay, we will enjoy our time here."
"That's good then. I will go back to my duty. Enjoy here."
"Okay."
Sister Evangeline walks away.
*What now?*
It's not the I hate kids or something but, I'm not really good at communicating with them, unlike Ernesta. Also, most of the people afraid of me for some reason. When I asked Ernesta about that, she told me that I have always serious and scary looks on my face. She also mentions that I look like the kind of person who would punch someone anytime.
*Do I really like that scary?*
"Hey hey, big sister, big sister!"
"Huh?"
There are some children in front of me. All of them are girls.
*When did they get here?*
"Come with us."
"M-me?"
"Yes!"
They hold my hands and pulls me towards somewhere.
"Hey wait."
________________________________________________________________________________________
Sitting at the corner of the church. Rein and I watching kids playing with A-1 members.
"I feel some deja vu here."
"Same."
*Why are we in the same place again?*
We also do the same thing when I first went here.
"Hey, Mr.Hiro."
"Yes?"
"Wanna do something new?"
*Did she read my mind?*
"Yeah."
"Hmmm."
"....."
"Oh! Come with me!"
She pulls my hand and starts running.
"Where are we going?"
"To my room."
*.....Wait!*
"Hold on! To your what?"
"Room."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah."
*It feels like I'm going to jail anytime.*
"Hey, Rein."
"Yes?"
"You know, we should think of other things to spend."
"Like what?"
"I don't know, maybe stroll around the orphanage or something?"
"I already do that. Come on, I know to just embarrassed going to the girl's room."
*She really can read my mind?*
Rein keeps pulling me until we reach the room. When Rein opens the door, I spotted Ernesta dressing one of the kids inside the room.
"Oh, Hiro, wanna do this too?"
"Your kidding right?"
*I really feel like I'm already inside the jail.*
"Hey hey Mr.Hiro, come here."
"Huh? Okay."
Rein pulls me towards the bed.
"Sit down here and wait."
She grabs something under the bed. It's big and covers with clothes. I kneel down to see it closely.
"Hey, take a look at this."
"What is that?", I asked.
Rein takes off the clothes.
"This is"
"Yup! It's the claw of Outsider mantis that you defeated."
"Wait! Did you just grab that outside the orphanage?"
"Don't worry, I only take this when you already kill all of them."
"Yeah, but it's still dangerous."
"Don't worry about that."
"Did sister Evangeline know about this?"
"Shhhh."
*Of course, she won't.*
"Back to the topic. Look at these claws."
I grab the claw. It's heavy.
*How did she even brought it here.*
I take a look at the claw. I don't see anything weird except that it's gray.
"It's weird, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it's weird because it's gray."
"You dummy. Take a closer look."
"Huh?"
I look closer.
*Sigh*
She already gives up.
"Look at this."
She pointed her fingers at the part of the claws where it cut.
"Did you see it already?"
"...."
"I didn't know that there are some things that smart people can't notice."
"What's that even mean?"
She grabs the claw in my hand.
"Look at this cut. It didn't have any sign of having blood."
"Oh!"
*Now I notice. It really doesn't have blood.*
"So Mr.Hiro, what do you think is this?"
"I don't know. I might need more time to investigate what is this."
"Too bad. I thought you would know this."
"Hey Rein, can I take that to headquarters?"
"Of course not! Take your own claw. There's some dead Outsider outside."
"But I think sister Evangeline already clean them up."
"I don't think so, she might only take care of those who near the orphanage."
"Hmmm, I see."
I stand up.
"Wait for me."
"You're going too?"
"Of course. I don't wanna die in boredom here."
"You should play your fellow kids."
"But that's boring!"
*Is she really a kid or what?*
"Okay, but first, let's get permission to sister first."
"Woah! Don't you dare."
"Eh? Why?"
"You don't need to ask that."
"I see.... so what now?"
"Isn't that obvious? We're going to sneak out."
"You know that my commander is going to kill me right?"
"I might die also you know."
*I hate this idea.*
"Don't worry. I have a plan."
*First jail, now grave?*
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Rein grab my hand and went to the opposite side where the kids are playing. We're already at the backside of the orphanage.
"Hey, I don't think this is a good idea."
"Oh come on. You agree to do new things but now you're backing up?"
Since there's no one there. We sneak around and went outside.
*I wish no one will know about this.*
________________________________________________________________________________________
"Come here, big sister!"
"Wait wait, where are you bringing me?"
The children pull me out of nowhere and bring me to one of their rooms. We pass to the room where Ernesta dressing some kids. After entering the room, the girls grabbing something from their cabinet. I was confused about what they doing.
"Got it!"
"Come on let's do it."
* Do what?*
The girl pulls something inside the cabinet. It's a huge box. When they open it, it contains different kinds of make-up.
"Wait don't tell me..."
"Big sister is so beautiful so we decide to try some makeup for you."
"I see. Well, if you really insist."
"Yey!"
After twenty minutes, they finished the makeup.
"Woah! You look more beautiful."
"Eh?"
I look up at the mirror that they give to me.
"Ah!"
To be honest, the makeup is simple but they make me more beautiful.
"What do you think big sister?"
"It's good."
*These girls have talents huh.*
"Woah! Big sis finally smiles."
"Huh?"
"You look prettier when you do that."
"Really?"
*Do I really not smile that much?*
"Hey, big sister."
"It's Vinna. You can call me Vinna."
"Big sis Vinna, do you have a boyfriend?"
*Wait what!?*
"W-what do you mean?"
"A boy who you love!"
*Where did these girls learn that?*
"N-no, I don't have."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Even someone you like?"
"No, I don't have."
"Woah! Big sis Vinna its turning red."
"N-n-no, I don't think so."
*This is bad.*
I don't have any experience when it comes to that thing in the first place.
"Well, if you don't have. Why don't we find her a boyfriend."
*Wait, I think they going too far.*
"How about the guy with a katana?"
*Katana? Are they talking about Greg?*
"Nahhh, that guy is kinda scary and serious looks."
*I have to do something.*
"Hey girls, I think you're going too far of this."
"How about the handsome guy?"
*They now referring to Darius now and they not even listening to me!*
"Woah! They suited to each other."
"Hey hey! I have one."
"Don't tell me it's the guy with a gun?"
*Please don't*
"No, not that guy. I'm referring to Mr.Hiro."
*Wait wait wait.*
"Isn't he amazing too?"
"Yeah, according to Rein, he is a genius."
*Just how long are they going to keep doing this?*
"Woah, your here Vinna."
Its Ernesta.
"Hey! Ernesta, let's talk for a sec."
"Eh? What do you want to talk about?"
"Let's go already!"
"Eh?Big sis Vinna?"
*At last, I'm saved now. I feel bad for them but I have no choice.*
________________________________________________________________________________________
We're already far from the orphanage. I'm starting to get worried.
"Hey, do you really think there still dead Outsider here?"
"Of course."
We walk further and further until...
"Woah, there is it!"
We spotted one dead mantis Outsider.
"Let's go, Mr.Hiro. Cut the claw already!"
"Okay okay."
I grab my knife and cut one of its claws. It's also heavy just like the other one. I look at the cut of the claw. There's no also blood.
*What kind of creature is this?*
"Let's go back now before they notice that we're both missing."
"Yeah."
I cover the claw with some fabric towels that I borrowed from Rein.
We went back to the orphanage. I almost thought that we were not going to get caught, but I was wrong. Commander and sister Evangeline notice that we're missing and now they waiting at the back door of the orphanage.
"Care to explain where you went, Mr.Hiro?"
"Rein! How many times have I told you to not go outside without my permission?"
We're both kneeling on the ground and keep apologizing.
"Well... it's for research purposes I swear!"
"I never thought that you're a pedophile Hiro.", Rick said.
*Please don't put any more gases on the fire!*
"I can't believe you, Hiro."
Vinna is also mad at me
"Not you too!"
*Just how bad my day is?*
*Sigh*
"Unlucky."
I can't do anything but sigh.
