บท 44: Seriously?!

"Sir Zosce, what did you call me here for?" A man with gray hair, a fox mask covering his face asks, he bow, as Zosce stares at him, "Can you kill those scums?" He asks his glares doubting him. "My contract doesn't have any killing agreement." The fox masked man said making Zosce scowls in annoyance. "Then…I want you to keep an eye close to them. Tell me anything you hear from them." Zosce aid emphasizing the word "anything"

"Understood. I'll tell you anything I have." The masked man said and bowed, "You're free to go, Commander Z." Zosce said shooing him away, "Alright." Commander Z nods and turns around to take his leave.

"Since it's a one-day trip…we'll rent the luxury sleeper cart…which costs around 100.000 Shards…" Zeolite reads the bill and is dead inside, as his face becomes pale. "Aight, let's go inside." Ashley said dragging his frozen body inside with her, leaving the three outside. Hector looks at Arkus, a smile forms on his face, "Did we get any free foods?" He asks, Arkus look at him as the exact smiles Hector had formed on his face, "wanna find out?" The two then grins and goes inside the train sprinting.

"Please don't destroy the train…" Theresa said praying with both of her hands. "Did he destroy a train before?" Celine asks, "Yeah, he did. And it didn't end well…He was called to the C.P.D. and was given a warning." Theresa sighs remembering the past. "I can clearly imagine what did he do." Celine giggles, as the two share a laugh.

"Please for those who are not yet inside the train, please immediately get in. We're going to depart in 5 minutes." The announcer said, "shall we?" Theresa asks stretching out her hand to Celine, "Yeah." Celine nods and accepts her hand.

As the two goes in the train, Commander Z goes inside the train after them. Blending with the crowds.

"It's so fluffy!" Ashley said stars in her eyes as she plopped herself onto the bed, Zeolite calmly sit on his bed, opening his book. Ashley turns her head to him, "oi, can I ask something?" She asks sitting on her bed, Zeolite peeked from his book, "what?" He asks, "Can you tell me what's your dream? You haven't told us much after all these years being a team." Ashley said a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Zeolite looks at her for a while before closing his book, "Listen closely, I'm not gonna repeat this." He said gaining her interest. "What is it?" Ashley asks excitedly. Zeolite smiles a little seeing her smiles. "My dream is…"

"Aww, why we are not allowed to eat now?" Hector asks at the butler, "yeah, why?" Arkus ask annoyed, "Well, because it's not the time yet, dinner will be served at 7 PM. Do you have any trouble with that?" The butler asks glaring back at him. "Psh, lame." Hector scowls walking away to the other cart.

Theresa and Celine were walking on one of the carts, they were having a fun time, as the two stop in front of a vending machine, while Theresa was looking for the drink she wants, someone is trying to pickpocket Celine. The boy is standing near to Celine, looking around to looks busy, his hand slowly went to Celine's back pocket, which she put her wallet in. He thought this will be an easy pickpocket, since she was blindfolded, but he was wrong. His hand is really close to her wallet, until Celine's arm grabs his hand. As he yelps in surprises. "Are you robbing me?" Celine asks turning around at him, as Theresa stops paying her attention to the vending machine and look at him.

The boy struggles to free his hand from Celine's grips, but the more he struggles the more Celine grips tightened. "Sir, is that true? Are you trying to robbing someone like her?" Theresa asks walking closer to him. The boy flinches in terrify, "I-I'm not-" Theresa stops him by pulling his collars up, "Don't lie, I've seen your reflection from the vending machine." She said, her eyes glare at him mercilessly.

"I-I can explain!" The boy said trying to convince her, "no explanation needed." Theresa said before closing her eyes for a bit, "though…I'm curious…will you try to pickpocket me if I'm in her position, or will you still aim for her who is blindfolded?" She asks her eyes glaring sharply at him. "I-I…U-Uh-" The boy was interrupted by Celine. "Theresa, don't scare him any further. Just hand him to the police." She said putting her hand on Theresa's shoulder.

The boy's eyes widened when she mentions the police, "N-No! P-Please don't hand me to the police! I beg you!" He said begging to the two. Theresa looks at him and shrugs, "You damaged the law, why should we let you go? You might cause a bigger problem in the future." As the boy begs with both of his hands.

Theresa looks at Celine, looking for her opinions. As Celine nods her head, Theresa sighs and drops him, "You should be thankful that Celine spares you." Theresa said looking down at him. The man looks up at Celine and bows down to her, "Thank you very much! I promise not to pickpocket ever again!" The boy said with full enthusiasm. Celine smiles and crouches down to his bowing body, "Good, now please stand up. I don't want peoples to bow down, especially to me." She said while patting his head, "a-ah, y-yes!" The boy said and quickly sit on both of his legs.

He stares at her amaze, how can someone with blindfolds see their surroundings, and how can someone be so beautiful with a blindfold?! "Sir? Sir? Are you there?" Celine asks waving her hand in front of him, as he snaps back to reality, "W-What is it?" He asks blushing in embarrassment. "Nothing, I noticed you were lost in thought." Celine giggles. As the boy laughs along with her.

"What is your name? I'm Celine Apocalypse, nice to meet you." Celine smiles extending her hand, "Ah! I'm A-Aiden C-Carter! N-Nice to meet you!" He said nervously. "Ahahaha, why are you sounded nervous? I'm not going to bite you." Celine laughs. "N-No, I-It's nothing…It just…I've never introduced myself to someone." Aiden said scratching his head. "Ehh…I see…Then, we can be friends!" Celine said happily, Theresa choked on her drink, "Seriously?!" She yelled at Celine.
