Chapter twenty-seven: Hello Philippines

Binilin ko kay Saya na alagaan si Luke, we don't know how long we're going to stay in the philippines. Pero I'm sure na wala kaming gagawin na connected sa mga kaso nila Kaede. I heard from austin that they have a crap ton of missions. 

And he also specified that they are also bombarded of missions because they don't know how to break the big ones into smaller ones. It's like he said that to let me know that my team was fallen on the wrong hands. 

But I doubt that, Kaede knows how to construct and build up a team, but that team she can't build. Why? Because I am the one who started their foundation at doon sila nasanay. 

I was sipping on my cup of coffee and watching the clouds below us, on the way na kami sa Pilipinas. Hindi ako excited pero gusto ko din bumalik dito. 

Enzo is piloting the jet, to be honest nag-improve talag siya. Hindi na magulo magpilot kagaya ng dati, I am a good mentor. 

"Are we going to announce that you are mine there?" 

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin, hindi naman sa ayaw kong ipaalam sa iba na engaged na kami or ikinakahiya siya, ang sa akin lang ayaw kong malaman nila kung nasaan ako. Kasi kung nalaman nilang engage ako sa kanya they would automatically know that I'm currently staying at Japan. 

"You see this ring?" Turo ko sa ibinigay niya sa akin na singsing, "I will throw this if you made a commotion there." Pagbabanta ko at natawa nalang siya. 

Ang estimated na dating namin doon sa Pilipinas ay mamayang hapon, at kinabukasan pa ang so called ball. Wala naman kaming kinalaman doon or task dito pero ang ipapalabas namin ay kailangan namin makuha yung librong nasa auction. 

And let me tell  you, Enzo brought a shit load of money, at ako naman ang nagdala ng nothing. Siya na daw bahala eh. 

We will also stay at Austin and Yvethe's place. Sasabihin daw kasi nila sa amin ang mangyayaring 'game' sa kanila at kala Kaede. I'm not totally agreeing to their game, pero hindi naman daw masasaktan sila so yeah gawin nila yan. 

We landed at exactly 3:47 in the afternoon and honey it's so hot. Ito nga pala ang klima sa Pilipinas. I wore my shades before holdinig Enzo's hand. Sinundo kami ni Austin at ngayon nasa kotse na kami. 

"Excited na ba kayo bukas?" Tanong nito habang naka-focus sa daan. Traffic. 

Hindi ako sumagot kasi sumasakit ulo ko, sorry hindi na kasi ako sanay. So Enzo answered for me, "I'm excited but I know she's not." Turo niya sa akin bago ako akbayan muli. 

We didn't talked inside the car hanggang sa makarating na kami sa apartment nila Austin wala pa rin nagsalita. 

"Hey!" Sigaw ni Yvethe nang makita ako sa pintuan. I faked a smile at her bago umupo sa couch nila. "Ang plastik mo." Sabi niya pero umirap nalang ako. 

"So, let's get over this. Ano yung plano niyo bukas?" Tanong ko habang pinagmamasdan ang kabuoan ng lugar nila. It's cozy, and small. Hindi naman ako laitera pero sinanay lang ata ako ni Enzo sa malaking lugar. 

Well kung hindi kasi kami nakatambay sa unit, nasa bahay kami ni Enzo. And it's not even an important matter, like they would call for a meeting. But that meeting is an excuse for dinner. 

"We would just let the ball flow until every one is comfortable, I'm actually planning on using Ravenna." Natatawang sabi niya. Enzo and I glared at him before giving him the what do you mean look. 

"Using her how?" Tanong ni Enzo.

"You know how to gamble right? You would play poker, and then win the auction. Then after that you will run and make an exit. And there we will fight. Our plan is to just get caught by them, but we'll escape of course. Then we will meet up with a few people. And we'll include you as our enemy."

Great plan, but too simple and boring. 

"Karera no keikaku wa kantande yosoku kanōda to omoimasu ka?" Tanong ni Enzo at tumango ako. 

[Translation: You think their plan is easy and predictable huh?]

"Karera ga nantoka kono keikaku o jikkō shite nigeru koto ga dekireba, watashi wa watashi no chīmu ga warumono no te ni watatta koto o mitomemasu." I sighed before shoting my glance back to Austin who is currently staring at me. 

[Translation: If they manage to execute this plan and escape, fine I'll admit that my team fell on the wrong hands.]

"Why the fuck are you staring at her?" Enzo hissed. Napansin din pala ng napakaseloso kong fiance. I held his hand to calm him down.

"I'm just making her uncomfortable. And also, ang daya niyo, don't use Japanese in this country." 

"This is a free country, we could do anything we want. Or having a great power we could probably colonize this place." Pagmamayabang ni Enzo, Austin clenched his fist and he was about to punch Enzo but I speaked. 

"You guys are too immature, ano nabwiset ka dahil sa kayabangan nito?" Turo ko kay Enzo, "Tapos ikaw napuno ka sa selos kaya nagyabang ka?" Baling ko naman kay Enzo. 

Para silang tuta na napagalitan at napayuko nalang. Yvethe pulled me into another room. 

"Bakit tayo umalis? Just by the tension of the room baka magpatayan na yung dalawa doon." Bulong ko. 

"What are you wearing tomorrow?" Tanong niya avoiding my exaggerated comment.

Napaisip ako, ano nga ba dinala ko?

"A simple black designer dress." Sagot ko, I want to keep a low profile. So that's why I picked the most simplest dress. 

"tsk," She said before going to her closet. May nakita siya doon at inilabas ang isang napaka-showy na dress. 

"Wear this instead." Sabi niya at iniabot sa akin yung dress pero umiling ako. "Come on, you have too. Instead of doin g the not suspicious act, be the face of the nigiht of that ball. But you will not see the face, because you're gonna use this mask." 

Ibinigay niya sa akin ang isang red na maskara na may white, black, and gold features. 

"Plus this dress accents your boobs." Dagdag niya, I gave her the disgusted look. What the fuck? Mapapagalitan lang ako ni Enzo kapag sinuot ko to bukas pero I have no choice. 

It was a red backless designer dress, with a slit and all that fancy typical designs that an exensive brand could offer. 

"Also, after this type of friendship act, we'll be archnemesis type of shit."
