Chapter 40: "New Girl"

Chapter 40: "New Girl"

Teiro's point of view

"Meow~"

NEKUMA GAVE out a soft cry, making me looked towards him. Natigil ko ang pagmumuni-muni na nakasandal sa bintana't pinagmamasdan ang nauulan pa ring town ng Vyorell.

This is the fourth day since we came in this place, but still, the rain didn't planned on stopping even for a minute. Tuloy-tuloy lang ang pagbuhos nito't hindi kami hinahayaang makasinag ng magandang panahon.

Napansin ko si Harmony na nakaupo na sa kanyang higaan. Natatabunan pa rin ng makapal na puting kumot ang baywang hanggang paa. Her forehead is creasing, pressing her hand against it. "What,? Happened?" she's confused, questioning the air without noticing Leonidas just across the wall observing her.

Sandal ang isang paa sa isa habang ito'y tahimik na nakataas ang isang brasong nakatukod sa maliit na mesang naka-konekta sa pisngi nito, while his other hand is holding an open book. But right now, he stops paying attention on what he is doing, nang mapansin ngang gising na itong babaeng tatlong araw at gabi ring tulog sa higaan nya.

This apartment room is damaged, that's what Leonidas said to me as Fleno attacks him out of knowhere by a slave player. Pero naayos na rin naman ang sira kaso pinabayad kami no'ng landlord para raw mas mabilis ang repairment hours. Actually, 20 minutes lang naman ang tinagal then balik na ito sa original state.

Harmony looked around. And the first thing she noticed is that, she has no cuffs or whatsoever wrapping on her. Mas lalo syang nagulat nang mapansing nasa hindi pamilyar syang lugar then she finally noticed Nekuma beside her.

"She's still not noticing us. I wonder how traumatizing she felt when she's abducted by her own teammates. Masyadong malala ang epekto nito sa kanya." I'm just beside Leonidas who's commenting the current state of the girl right now.

I can't argue by what he just said. Despite feeling free in a surrounding where she's not identified as a slave, she still felt a total confusion. Siguradong marami syang katanungan ngayon sa isip kung ano ba talagang nangyari sa kanya.

"Nekuma? Is that you?"

"Meow~" the cat answered. Then we noticed her smiling with that soft and beautiful delicate face.

Mas lumapit pa sa kanya ang pusa't kinarga naman ito ni Harmony at niyakap ng mahigpit. "I missed you."

"Meow~"

She giggled. I still don't know what Nekuma is saying. For the past days, nilubog ko sa pagbabasa ng mga libro ang sarili at umabot lang hanggang 124 ang average intellegence ko.

I'm not even halfway there. And I already finished reading two books with more than 200 pages each. Well, hindi gano'n kadali kumuha ng mga impormasyon sa gano'n kaikling panahon lang. Though, nakatulong din ang walang tigil na buhos ng ulan para magugol namin ni Leonidas ang oras para makapag-focus sa pagkukuha ng mga bagong impormasyon.

Researching for ourselves and it really helped us from all those days na pagsusunog ng kilay. Umabot na nga hanggang 231 ang average intellegence nya eh. Masyado syang matalino kumpara sa 'kin. Totoo nga talaga ang kasabihang don't judge the book by its cover.

I really thought, basag-ulo lang ang alam ng taong 'to eh. It turns out, he's much more focus than me.

"So, what do you think? Lusubin na ba natin ang time dungeon ngayon?" I asked him, resting my back against the window, while eyes still on Harmony.

"Time dungeon needs five players before it can let us in. Without three more members, Hezuya, we're not valid to try our lucks inside that mysterious dungeon." he answered, flipping close the book after leaving a mark on the page where he stopped from reading. "so what we needed right now is members. Not just members, but those trustworthy ones."
