Chapter 17: The Grand Alliance Ball [Part 2]

Flashback.

Ceres: “Arghhhhh!!! Stay away from me!!!!” she said yelling while trying to shoo away the person next to her.

Aki and the rest were startled when they heard Ceres scream and immediately went to where Ceres is.

Aki: “what happened?.... is something wrong?”

When Ceres saw Aki she immediately burst into tears. *went into chibi version*. Ceres ran towards Aki and hug him tightly, Aki was startled but he still hug Ceres back and continuously taps her head.

Aki: “doushita no Ces-chan?... daijoubo?

Ceres: “daijoubo ja nai!!!... She’s putting some mud on my face… It’s disgusting!!!” she snapped.

Aki: “what mud?” Aki asked to the person next to Ceres.

Miori, Momoko, Ayako and Chidori shook their heads and sigh.

Miori: “Ces, that wasn’t mud…” she approached Ceres *went into chibi version* she pulled Ceres’ checks. “… that’s what you call make up… get it?... its just a freakin’ make up… so will you please stay still and let her finish her job?” she said irritated.

This time Aki shook his head.

One of the things Ceres hates the most, aside from wearing girly outfits, is when any kind of chemicals touches her face, the best example is make up, she feels like she’s wearing a mask whenever she wears make up, its uncomfortable.

Ceres pouted after hearing what Miori said, then she went near the make up artist that she shooed away just a while ago, that person is actually an employee of INNOCENCE, she was assigned to take care of Ceres and the rest of the girls, when Ceres said sorry to the make up artist, she only answered Ceres with a smile. Aki also apologized on behalf of Ceres.

Everyone was almost done fixing themselves… except for Ceres, she was really stubborn to the point where you have to scold her first before doing anything to fix herself.

Meanwhile, Starlights was almost done fixing themselves, even Kaede, but he was still in a bad mood.

He was standing in front of the glass window looking far away. He was so stiff that you could’ve mistaken him for a statue, he wasn’t moving at all, even the strands of his hair wasn’t moving.

Jasmin and Burn went back to their rooms at that time.

Yosuke: “looks like he hasn’t recovered from the shock yet” he said to his other three companions.

Nokuro: “ yeah… its so obvious… he’s still in a state of shock..”

Tsujiai: “still in a daze I guess…”

Soujiro: “yeah… ”

And the four of them sigh simultaneously.

Even though Kaede was still in a daze, he heard what his friends said.

Kaede: “I’ll be out for a while… I just need some fresh air” and went straight to the door without waiting for anyone to reply.

Soujiro, Nokuro, Yosuke,Tsujiai: “Uhhmm..sure…”

Kaede went to the balcony in the second floor; it’s actually connected to the main hall. You can see the ocean from there.

He was just standing like what he did a while ago, feeling the air that brushes his hair, smelling the breeze of the ocean and the sight of a beautiful sunset. He closed his eyes and remembered what Burn and Jasmin said.
