Chapter 16 Comrades

Miya and the others woke in the same place they slept in. They breathed a sigh of relief at not getting kidnapped in their sleep.

After some time to get themselves together, Chrys got back in the driver's seat. His mood is still bad, but not as bad as yesterday. After a couple of hours of driving, the girls finally gained enough courage to talk to Chrys.

"Um, Chr-Ajax?" Miya asked, quickly correcting herself mid-sentence.

"It's fine for you to call me Chrys if it's only us," Chrys said, in a cold voice.

"Ah! Yes, um. We have been wondering for a while. When are we going to meet your friends? " Miya asked. Amber froze up after hearing what Miya said.

"We are arriving in a town. They should be in the next town over. " Chrys replied.

Just as he said that a town emerged from the horizon. How does the time it so perfectly? He did the same thing back at Viridis. Does he plan it out beforehand? " Miya thought.

The town isn't all that eye-catching like Viridis. Amber and Rose seem unimpressed.

The buildings are at an average height of five stories. The entire city is surrounded by stone features acting like walls.

When they get into the city, people are scattered everywhere on the side of the roads. All of them are armed with an assortment of weapons, like a guy with a sword as big as him or a girl with two scythes on her back, a bit unnecessary and dangerous.

When they were about halfway into the city, Chrys began acting more irritated. He drove into the empty parking lot by the side of a building.

"Get out, this is our stop," Chrys exclaimed angrily. The girls followed his orders silently.

They went into a normal-looking building. normal in terms of the surroundings. The windows were cracked in some places. The door is scraping the floor.

The man behind the counter is a man with an eyepatch. Miya held herself back from asking if he was a pirate, like the ones her mother used to tell stories about.

"Hel-" The man behind the counter began speaking.

"We aren't here to rent a room. We are here to meet some people. " Chrys interrupted the man at the counter.

"I see, you're paying for the damage you caused." "Chrys," the man said to Chrys, waving his hand at him.

Chrys kept on walking, without paying attention to what he said. Miya and the others followed him up to the third floor. He walked in front of a room door and knocked.

"We don't need any more food, thank you!" A feminine voice came from inside the room.

"It's me!" Chrys shouted.

"Oh! "Wait, hold on a sec! " The voice said A sound of something falling came from the room.

"Okay, what is the password?" The voice said The owner's voice sounded a little closer than before. The door pushed outwards like someone was pushing from the inside.

Even though he looked extremely tired, a small smile appeared on Chrys' face.

"I'm going to count to five. If you don't open it by then, I'm going to kick this door down. One! " Chrys said as he placed his hand on the door.

"Hahaha, you seem very irritated today, sir!" The voice laughed at Chrys' threat.

"Oops! I suddenly forgot how to count. " as he casually pushed the door.

The door didn't swing open, but instead, it just felt like it didn't have hinges in place. It crushed the person who was behind the door.

Chrys hopped over the fallen door and walked further into the room. "The girls followed him inside the room." They carefully traversed around the door, to avoid the person underneath.

"Mmm!" A mumbled voice came from the left, sounding like they had something in their mouth.

The source of the mumbling is standing in a makeshift dining room, by the corner. The person is eating a sandwich.

The person is a female with blonde hair and purple eyes. She is dressed in a short-sleeved black dress. The skirt of said dress extends just over her knees. The top part of the dress is adorned with brown fur, which probably came from a large bear. It wraps around her torso like a leather vest.

Her body structure is, to say the least, healthy. Her rack is enough to make every woman self-conscious. Her skin looks pale and soft. She is quite tall, and her blonde hair is tied into a low-hanging ponytail.

Chrys looked at the woman and asked. "Hela! What did we say about talking with your mouth full? "

"Mmm?" The woman, named Hela, tilted her head at Chrys' question. After a moment of thinking, she realized what he meant and chewed the food in her mouth.

"Haaa..." You just wait right there. I'm going to get the other one. "

"Greeny is sleeping in the other room," Verily told them t throw him out of the building. " Hela said after clearing her mouth.

"It's Lilly, not Verily, Hela." The person underneath the door said

Completely ignoring the person underneath the door, Chrys replied to Hela. "Fine. Then, I'll just... flush him down the toilet instead.

Suddenly, a strong gaze came from behind the girls. It was coming from underneath the fallen door. Miya turned around to look, but the figure moved faster than she could turn.

"How rude can you be?" Just because you're annoyed doesn't give you the right to be rude to everyone! " The figure that was once underneath the door was now standing beside Chrys.

The figure is a rather small woman, about a head shorter than Chrys. One could assume she is only a couple of years older than the girls she likes. A good guess is about 17 years old.

She has short, pure white hair that only extends to her neck. She has light blue eyes. Her pupils resemble those of a four-petalled flower. Her skin is almost as white as her hair. She wears a white dress, exposing her nonexistent curves. It extends just to her thighs. It has a large lily flower stitched on the left side of the dress.

She wears a black coat around her dress, which turns semi-transparent halfway down.

Chrys began to move his hands towards the white-haired lady's head.

Miya was terrified of the situation and thought"Oh, no! Chrys has been irritated all day and that movement... he isn't going to kill her, right?! Amber did say that they were a dangerous group of people, but they wouldn't kill each other, right? "

Chrys placed his hand on the white-haired lady's head. Fortunately, Miya's idea didn't happen, and her head didn't explode.

Chris grabbed her head firmly, lift her ,,, yelled. "Sit down!!! I'M DOING SOMETHING IMPORTANT HERE!!!" As he threw her in a corner,

In mid-flight, her coat transformed into a large airbag which softened her fall. It was graceful, save for the fact that she landed upside down.

The door that Chrys was heading into opened. Out came a man, who was just a bit taller than the white-haired one.

He has greenish-black hair and green eyes. His hair is as messy as it could be. You could say it's just bed hair, but it's overgrown. He wore a white, sleeveless top, revealing his shoulders. He has black shorts adorned with ornaments.

He had green and black metal boots that wrapped around his shins. He also has green and black gauntlets that wrap around his forearm. It has claws attached to it that are facing backward

"Go back to sleep. I wasn't going to do anything to you. " Chrys said.

"Okay, Goldie..." The man with green hair said as he raised his hands. He began walking toward the couch.

"Oh? Who brought the girls? "Are you a Beastfolk by chance?" The man with green hair asked the girls as he noticed their presence.

"Beastfolk?" The white-haired lady said, as she now only noticed them. Amber froze up when she felt a glare at her back.

"Ah! catgirl Can I keep her? " The white-haired lady asked Chrys, hugging Amber by the back, nearly choking her on the spot.

"Sit down!" Chrys ordered.

The blonde female sat down while finishing her sandwich. The green-haired man lay down on the couch. The white-haired lady dragged Amber along with her on an empty seat. Miya and Rose sat down as well.

"What are you doing here? Where is the angry bitch? She was with you, right? And who are these girls? " The green-haired man began asking questions.

"You, shut up. I'm the one asking questions here. " Chrys replied. The man just shrugged his shoulders.

Firstly, why are you guys here? You are supposed to be in the next town. " Chrys asked while glaring at them.

The three of them began sweating profusely. The blonde-haired woman looks down on her sandwich. The green-haired man looked towards the window. The white-haired girl who was patting Amber on the head looked away.

"What sort of situation is this?" Miya asked herself.

"Haaaa, I guess it's the usual." Chrys let out a sigh as he asked another question. He looked calmer than before.

The white-haired girl began looking down, hiding behind her white hair. The other two didn't respond.

"Haaaa, I assume there is no money left," Chrys said, letting out another sigh, completely calm.

"It wasn't my fault, it was V's fault!" The white-haired girl shouted.

"What?! No, it was Lilly's and Hela's fault, not mine! " The green-haired man began shouting as well.

"No, it wasn't me." The blonde woman said, while still looking away from Chrys, looking very guilty.

"Yeah, you know what?! It was Loki's and Hela's fault in the first place, so it's their fault! " The green-haired man stated

The blonde lady didn't respond to the accusation and kept looking away. A small black-colored lizard crawled from the blonde woman's back onto her shoulder. Some may call it a lizard, but it's more like a snake that has grown legs.

"Ah?!" Rose noticed the lizard creature a second later. She pointed at it with wide eyes.

Seeing Rose's reaction, the blond lady looked at her. "Hmm? Oh, no worries. This is Loki. I promise Loki won't bite. " The blonde lady then grabbed the lizard creature and lifted it towards Rose with a smile.

"Loki," Chrys called out in a calm voice. The lizard named Loki looked away from Chrys.

"Haaaa, I shouldn't have expected more. Forgive me, Lilly, for knocking the door on you. " Chrys sighed, apologizing to the white-haired lady named Lilly.

"Hmph!" The white-haired lady pouted while hugging Amber's head closer.

"Uh, can you please... let me go now?" Amber asked politely.

"No," the white-haired lady replied, hugging her even tighter.

"Oh! That reminds me. We still don't know your names. " The white-haired lady turned her attention to Rose and Miya.

"I'm Lilly." That blonde woman is Hela. You already know Chrys and Loki, and that annoying guy laying on the couch is V. You can call him that since his name is too weird. " Lilly casually introduced herself and the others.

"You're the one to talk about being annoying!" The man named V responded to Lilly's insult. They both glared at each other.

"Um, my name is Miya." Miya introduced herself.

Following Miya's lead, Rose introduced herself as well. "I'm Rose, and that girl you are holding is named Amber."

"Amber, huh? "Where are you from?" Lilly asked Amber, who was still in her grasp.

"Uh, both I and Amber came from Titan," Rose answered instead of Amber.

"Tsk, Titan, they are only second to Viridis." Why can't they see the cuteness of the Beastfolks? " Lilly clicked her tongue and hugged Amber closer. Amber began struggling to escape her.

"Enough about that. I told Morgan to go to the town you were supposed to be in. I guess she is probably waiting there right now. " Chrys interrupted.

"Yeah, why did you and Sister Morgan separate in the first place?" Lilly asked.

"During our investigation of the northern quadrant, we found a group of his lackeys on the abandoned train tracks. "We decided to capture me to get inside the train, while Morgan follows from outside."

"A couple of unexpected events later, I got taken by a couple of Outriders with Miya from the train." We got out of captivity and traveled to meet up with you and hopefully Morgan as well. " Chrys briefly summarized their travels, not going into too many details.

Lilly and Hela nodded in unison, but Hela's face looked blank, while Loki and V couldn't be careless.

Okay, now that we've gotten caught up Let's move and meet Morgan. " Chrys stood up.

"Yes, let's go. I can't wait to meet Sis Morgan again. " Lilly stood up as well, while still hugging Amber like a doll.

("V. "Go buy some food for the journey." Chrys ordered.

V looked extremely offended by it before looking away from him, looking extremely annoyed out of his mind. Chrys looked at him intently before turning his gaze towards Hela and Loki, who was on Hela's shoulder. They looked away. Lilly looked away as well.

"Haaaa didn't learn from my lesson from before." Am I a fool to expect that much? " Chrys sighed.

"It isn't my fault, it was V's fault!" Lilly began pushing the blame.

"No, it's entirely your and Hela's fault!" V began pushing the blame as well.

Rose and Miya looked at each other. I was wondering what they were talking about.

"No, it was your fault! You wanted a nice hotel to stay in. " Lilly yelled at V.

"Yeah, because we can afford it." If it weren't for the fact that you bought those stupid flowers, Hela and that damned lizard ate like usual! " V began yelling as well.

"Those flowers were meant for healing your stupid ass when you inevitably get injured, jackass!" "Lilly she said proudly, as she tightened her grip on Amber. Amber gave up on escaping and surrendered to her fate, looking like a corpse.

Miya and Rose looked dumbfounded at the situation. "Is this the dangerous group Amber told us about? The group that threatens the world? " Miya asked herself, doubting the things Amber told her.

"Fine, I'll go get some money then," Chrys interjected as he began walking towards the door.

"No!" Lilly shouted, jumping on Chrys with Hela and holding him back. Chrys stopped his advance and turned around.

"No, you know what you do is wrong." So, stop! " Lilly said, while still holding back Chrys.

"Fine. Then, how do you propose we get the money?" Chrys stopped resisting before asking them.

The three of them began to think, except V, who looked more concerned about being annoyed than helping.

A couple of seconds later, a loud siren began to be heard. After the siren stopped, a voice began to speak.

"This is a warning! I repeat this is a warning! From the southeast, a stampede of beasts is on its way! I repeat, a stampede is coming from the southeast! "

"All those who are capable of fighting, assemble at the southeast wall!" The voice then stopped speaking.

Well, will you look at that? Get ready. We are participating. " Chrys ordered.

Hela, Loki, and Lilly nodded in unison, with V looking annoyed as usual. Miya and Rose looked at each other confused, but they still readied themselves, while Amber was still in Lilly's grasp.
