Chapter 11: Breaking free

"Lately, we don't really have much going on, do we?", a pink-haired male asked as he placed his cards down.

"Don't complain, Nqrse. You may have had nothing to do but I was going around cleaning all the mess up that all of you guys made.

I am just happy that everything went smoothly and I could do what I was tasked to by Luz.", a red-haired male sighed annoyed as Nqrse giggled.

"I'm sorry, Araki~ Let's go to a cafe together to make it up to you~", Nqrse suggested as the older male sighed.

"You know that I don't like sweets that much and you are just going to make me pay for your food in the end anyway.", Araki said as Nqrse laughed. "You know me very well I see~", Nqrse chirped as the other male shrugged.

"Yeah... for the better or for the worse.", Araki answered as Kuro placed her cards down next as the two of them looked at the table to see what she did. "You two, stop flirting and concentrate on the game! And if Araki is going to treat you then he has to treat us as well! Let's go and get some bubble tea!", Kuro exclaimed as Araki sighed.

"Stop... I am not going to treat you guys...", he said as Luz chuckled and placed his cards down when it was his turn.

"I am going to treat you guys next time if you want to. Let's all go out and eat together sometime.", Luz suggested as the three looked at him happily. "Yay! That's why I love you, Luz-chan!", Kuro exclaimed happily as Nqrse cheered as well.

"You sure about that?", Araki asked as Luz nodded smiling. "Of course, you guys have been working hard lately. So I'll treat everyone to dinner after the next mission.", Luz told him.

"That's nice and all... but do you really want to go out to dinner with someone who is going to be a traitor sooner or later?", Araki asked as his face turned cold when he looked at Sakata who looked out of the window and didn't even dare to look at the other red-haired male.

"Well, I want to believe in Sakata until the very end so if he tells me that he won't betray us then I will obviously believe him. Everyone in here is like my family after all.", Luz said smiling but his smile disappeared after he started his next sentence as he looked at Sakata.

"But... if you do want to betray us then get out of this building right now.", Luz told the red-haired male. There was a short silence and the light-haired male continued to talk to explain the situation to Sakata. "If you do end up leaving our group then I won't try to stop you. Why?

Because you have worked so hard for me for some time and had a rough past... and because I like you and saw you as a family member as well.

But remember, as soon as you exit this building and decide to go against me, you are going to be my enemy. And you know how we see enemies.

You know what consequences there will be if you decide to end up being enemies with me, Sakata. So you should choose wisely and think about it if you actually want to make me your enemy."

"Kya~ Soraru-senpai, please eat this bento I made! We can eat this together somewhere!", a female classmate said as she held her box in front of him. "Eh?! No fair!

I want to be with Soraru-senpai as well!", another girl said as the female crowd which surrounded him tried to convince him to go with them.

"Soraru-san sure is popular, huh?", Amatsuki asked as he ate his food and watched how the raven-haired male was trying to tell the girls to go away. Mafumafu only ate his food as he tried his best to not look at them too much.

For some reason, his heart squeezed in an uncomfortable way whenever he saw some classmates trying to get closer to Soraru or even asking him out.
