Commandant and his Constructs [PGR]

Chapter 7

"Commandant! Please get out of the room!"

Bang Bang Bang

"..."

"Commandant!"

"Sorry Lucia, no can do."

"Why?" He heard Lucia scream from his door. Banging repeatedly which caused him to shift deeper under the covers of his bed.

"Uh... Because I need some rest!"

Bang

"Why didn't you just say so in the beginning Commandant?" Lucia asked.

"Sorry, I should have but u didn't."

"Do... Do you need me to get Li—"

"NO!" Commandant yelled instantly. Sweating bullets at the thought. "I-I mean no thank you."

"What about Vera—"

"THAT'S EVEN WORSE!"

"... Are you ignoring us, Commandant?"

"... No. Look, Lucia, if you can. I just need to rest, that's it."

"... Understood Commandant. I'll be back later." Lucia nodded. Walking away.

Commandant heard the footsteps become distant, waiting for a few seconds to pass. He decided it was finally time.

"Finally!" Getting out of the bed, he moved his bed, grunting as he pushed it a bit to the side. Underneath his bed, was a staircase! With a smile, he walked down, not before pressing a button that then shifted the bed back to normal. Part of the carpet on top of the hidden pathway blocked out the view of the staircase above so that it can seem like there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Is she finally gone?" Camu asked, looking behind him, taking off his headphones as he saw the Commandant walking down the stairs.

"Mm-hmm. I won't be bothered for the rest of the day."

"You're quite mischievous when you wish to." Camu said with a snort.

"Well, what can I say? I need my break time too you know?"

"And running away from responsibility by faking rest? You're more cunning than I give you credit." The Transcendant grinned. "Perhaps I should tell them your little schemes."

"Please don't! There's barely so much I can handle!" Commandant pleaded towards the man.

"Hmph, relax. It's only a light joke."

"You're just as bad at jokes like Qu..."

"Qu huh? Isn't she the one from Kowloong? The self-proclaimed empress?" The man couldn't help but snort.

"Hey now, at least get along." Commandant frowned. Sitting down next to Camu as the cup of coffee was waiting there, steaming as he smiled. "Ah, coffee. Mankind's greatest invention."

"Is there a reason why you've wanted to spend some alone time and waste my time?" Camu asked, frankly though, he did not care. The secret hangout spot is always available. Only the fellow male constructs know this place since it's a sanctuary for them to hang out. "Brotherhood lives on!" Kamui's loud and boastful voice rang through Camu's head.

"I don't know what you mean, besides, let's just say, I need to stay away from a group of people for a while. Specifically, the opposite gender and nothing but horrific events have happened for the past few days."

"Lady problems huh?" Camu asked. "I didn't know you were the type to look for a relationship." He closed his eyes and frowned.

"It's not like that I swear!" Commandant quickly waved off. "Let's just say... Some of them are acting out of the ordinary." He shuddered.
