SEVENTEEN.
"So in the end, the Wrights saved the day." Naka-ngising sabi ni Cody saamin.
Inirapan ko lang siya, "You could save the day, too, if you haven't been poisoned that time." Sabi ko and he laughed.
"So I guess our points there would be, what, 250? 300?" Jenna asked us, "Wait, wala namang nag-away this time, right?" Dagdag pa niya
Napatingin ako kay Ken, would our fight affect the points? But it's a personal fight, it won't affect the points, right? Ugh. Bakit kasi kailangan pa ng points.
"But ano sa tingin niyo? Bakit mahal na mahal ng witch na iyon ang bayan na ito?" Night the hunter asked, huh, his name sounds stupid also, katulad noong kay Hunter.
"I made a research on that so let me explain it." Nagmamalaking sabi ni Jirve na may malawak na ngisi, inirapan ko lang siya, he's currently, adopting Thean's attitude dahil sa naiging close na sila.
"On my research, nalaman ko na dati, ang nag-mamay-ari ng bayan na ito ay ang pamilya nila Siling, kaso namatay ang asawa niya at nalubog sila sa utang. And then, nung iba na ang nag-may-ari dumami ang krimen at ang mga tao ay naging sakim. So that's it." Sabi niya.
Huh. So that's the reason, she's the previous owner of this town. But I still couldn't see reasons kung bakit kailangan niyang gawin iyon.
"You ready to leave?" Baritonong boses ang gamit ni Thean noong tinanong niya kami. Naka-ready na kaming lahat umalis sa uncivilized town na ito at bumalik sa private mansion.
"Wait. I'll check if we forgot something." Sabi ni Lora. "Ken, pwede mo ba akong samahan?" She added.
Umirap ako, this freaking bitch, "Sa iba ka na lang magpasama." Narinig kong sabi ni Ken, huh, siguro natauhan na siya and realized that Lora is just a big freaking slut and trying to lure him in.
Bumalik din si Lora and Henri in no time kaya naka-alis din kami but when we were on the van I noticed something again. "Where's Azrael?" Tanong ko kay Van at Thean noong napansin kong wala si Azrael.
They both shrugged, "Susunod na lang daw siya sa mansion, may pupuntahan lang daw siya" Thean answered
Huh. I think Azrael is hiding something, lately, he's away kahit nasa isang task kami. And don't he dare say that he's on heaven because I would literally kill him. Alam kong hindi siya sa heaven nagpupunta.
"You don't think Azrael is doing something bad?" Tanong ko kay Thean. He chuckled and shuffled my hair.
"Don't worry about that little angel, he's sometimes you know..." Inikot niya ang index finger niya sa may tenga niya. I laughed, "Crazy." Pahabol ni Thean
"Are you backstabbing me?" I laughed when Azrael suddenly appeared between me and Thean, Thean's reaction was priceless, kahit si Van ay natawa na din.
"No." Mabilis na sagot ni Thean kay Azrael.
"Then why did you say I'm crazy?" He asked again, I laughed harder.
"Well," Hindi makapagsalita si Thean and Van and I continued laughing habang pinipilit ni Thean magpaliwanag kay Azrael na nakabusangot na ang mukha.

"Hey" Bati ni Ken ng nadatnan niya akong nakasandal sa kotse ko sa mansion, I want to sat on my car's roof but no thanks, I'd rather sit on the dirt.
Tinanguan ko lang siya as he stand beside me, we both watched the stars. The night is starry, it looks fucking beautiful.
"You don't want to celebrate the succession of our first real task?" He asked.
