INKED 2(old)

11. Spilled Soup

"Bocchan? Where are you going?"

"Just taking the Manual kept in the library. The Guardians Library."

Both Himiko and Giorno walked rushingly while the current Game was already at the end of the First Chapter, as notified by Lead.

The Manual of the <Bendy and the Ink Machine> had been stored inside the library for a period of time after the gameplay started.
But at the same time, Viruses got in the way of the Guardians. And that's where the Anti-Virus came by.

As the duo came by the door, Giorno opened it as it was left unlocked.

What they saw were a mess made of piles of opened books and spaces in the shelves.
And a girl with pink hair and red horns, in white dress, sleeping in an infant position.

"Zero Two?"

She opened her eyes and yawned as she stretched on the pile of books scattered on the floor. She then focused her cyan eyes towards the latter, "Oh. Good morning, then."

Giorno didn't let a word from his mouth.

"Bocchan?", asked Himiko while picking up the books and tidying them up.

"Leave it to the librarians."

"But!"

"You were saying?"

Zero Two got up and walked with her heeled clumps stepping on the uncovered floor space, opening the window curtain, revealing the sunlight rays shining over the mess.

"Zero Two? Why are you here?"

"Reasons."

"Huh?!", Himiko gaped her mouth, shaking her head.

She was about to ask Zero Two about it, but she only watched the girl walk pass them, and out of the door and closing it shut.

"Is she okay, Bocchan?"

"Let's not ask such things."

----

"I'm home.."

She walked inside the safe house and took off her boots, taking a sip of Fugo's blue cup of coffee.

"Looks like some thing's wrong there.."

As Zero Two took off her dress, she gazed at Audrey and the rest of Giorno's group watching the gameplay of the Game itself while wearing their outfits.

"Hey, Zero Two! Where have you been?"

Narancia asked as she wrapped herself in a bathrobe.

She turned to the shower room and went inside, shutting the door.

"Hey! I'm asking you!"

"Let her be, Narancia."

He pouted again, making noises through his nose.

"Don't tell me you're still not getting over your so-called 'darling'.."

"Narancia."

"Ah! Yes, Fugo!", he exclaimed as he buttoned up his white sailor outfit while tying his purple ribbon. "Zero Two! You should hurry or else we're leaving you!"

"Got it."

She went out of the bathroom immediately, clad in the black Guardians uniform, with her black socks in her hands.

Attaching her name tag on the blazer, she combed her hair with the black comb left on one of the beds and wore her socks and boots. "I'm coming.", she notified while leaving Giorno to rest in his bed.
