Chapitre 123: [Club House Competition] [11]

"Az?"

"Hello, Ashlyn." I greeted her, my eyes drifting towards the boy beside her. "He isn't your teammate, right?"

"Ethan said he could help me find them," Ashlyn replied, showing the two pieces of the glideball in her hand.

"And?"

"And?" She tilted her head.

"He didn't ask anything in return?" I continued, taking out my axe-hammer from my bracelet.

"...No, but it's easier to find them if we work in a team," Ethan chimed in, giving his reasoning while smiling at her.

"I see," I mumbled, not interested in his words. I looked behind them and noticed Ruby and Miley rushing towards us.

"Ashlyn!" Miley exclaimed, wrapping her arms around Ashlyn and giving her a big hug, momentarily stunning her.

"Huh?" But from behind, Ruby silently snatched the pieces from Ashlyn's hand.

"Hey!! That's mine!" Ashlyn yelled, running towards Ruby and Miley, who were making their way towards the goalpost from the staircase outside the stadium.
