COLISEUM

Chapter 26

Juuzou watched June pet a cat, It's just a girl and a cat, why are you getting so worked up about? He thought to himself as he gathered the courage to approach her. Mewmi had her eyes closed, content with being petted until her eyes shot open with a ring of a bell, her cat ears twitched as her eyes darted back and forth, then jolted at the sight of Dirlu holding a collar.

Juuzou stopped as he watched June struggle with the cat. "What's gotten into you?" June asked while the feline stretched and jumped off. As Mewmi landed on all fours, she scampered away meowing, "no-no no-no no-no no-no no."

"Eimy, where are you?" Dirlu peered out, holding the cat bell. June saw the woman come out with Victorian-esque attire while Juuzou looked unphazed by the extravagant clothing as Dirlu walked past him.

So that explains why the cat ran away. June thought. Juuzou was unphazed by Dirlu's extravagant clothing when the noblewoman had hiked up the hem of her dress to run in another direction, however, he didn't expect June to disappear.

"Where'd she go?" Juuzou turned around looking for the blonde while June hid on a wall behind him, as he walked out, she sneaked up from behind him and grabbed him by the wrist and twisted his arm as he let out a groan and kicked him in the shin, making him kneel.

"Who are you?" June interrogated him while Juuzou winced from the pressure. "Who send you?" June twisted his arm even harder, "Why are you following me?" Juuzou doubled over as she was a twist away from dislocating his arm, "Why are you here?"

"For Joon, Joon Wen Ji." Juuzou responded as he gritted his teeth as June let go of his arm.

"You could've just asked me instead of stalking me like a weirdo." June responded while Juuzou held his bruised arm.

"Forget it, I'm going to the infirmary." Juuzou stood up as he walked to the corridor.

"Any luck?" Stella asked her before the miniature extraterrestrial lifted her chin to look at her colleague.

"What do you think?" Micah remarked, putting a gloved hand on her hip.

"I only gained one contact." Stella replied flatly.

"It better be to advance our investigation." Micah responded neutrally while she saw Stella take out her notepad.

"If his infrared vision could come in handy, it might." Stella said in a hopeful tone.

"Stella, how many times do I have to tell you to not-" Micah reminded her before she got cut off.

"We don't have many options here, a Reptilian with infrared vision could help track Carina." Stella countered with an authoritive tone as she glared at the Amoebian.
