Yogi x Gareki (Karneval!)

Love, is not something you obtain right from the start. It just came when you got used of being around that someone. So, with that theory, those kind of things as love at the first sight does not exist.

Or so do Gareki always thought.

Quiet.

It is too quiet. Even a single 'baa~' from the sheeps is not heard. I did heard Tsukumo say she is going on a mission with Jiki (is it really okay to leave Jiki alone with Tsukumo?). While Hirato is as busy as ever with his unpredictable arrival and depature. Then that leaves Nai, Yogi, Karoku, and Iva. Isn'it too quiet for five people in the ship? Especially that loud ass Yogi. Now to think about it, I hadn't seen the blonde since this morning. Where could he be?

"Gareki!" a feminine voice calls me from behind. Finally, a sign of life.

"Iva-san," I nod to her politely. I honestly don't spend much time together with Iva-san since she doesn't really like men. And I'm okay with it. I don't see any need for me to be around her more than necessary.

The beautiful woman smiles to me as she approaches elegantly. "Hirato-san told me just now that the ship is going to land on a city for a while. Could you please tell this to Yogi and ask him to stay on guard?"

Why the hell is she telling me to do it?

As a response and in accordance with my feeling, I stare at her blanky. "Why don't you tell him yourself?" I said with no emotion.

With no sense of utter guilt, Iva-san giggles. She put her hand on her cheek and tilts her head to act innocent. "I would like to... but Yogi is really hard to find and I have to go for a mission right now," she says with a persuading voice. "Help me, won't you, Gareki?"

No, I answer in my head. Iva-san is acting super suspicious. If she really have to go on a mission, why would Hirato-san contacts her to tell Yogi? Why don't Hirato-san contacts Yogi directly? And the usual Iva-san is quite stern regarding a mission.

"Are you really going on a mission?" I ask bluntly. Who cares about their so called manners.

As expected, Iva-san froze at her place. "A-haha...," she forces an awkward laugh. "We-well, actually I'm going to Tsukumo-chan's place. Who knows what that Jiki will do if he gets a chance alone with her?"

As I thought.., I sigh in my mind. Iva-san doesn't have to worry that much. Jiki might be a pervert but he is not a harasser.

Just when I'm about to tell this to her, Iva-san pats my shoulder with a hand and the other one raised giving me a thumb up. "Then, I'll leave that matter to you. Thanks in advance, Gareki!"

Before I could give her any response (read: protest), Iva-san flies from the crime scene with her abnormal physical ability, leaving me desparately trying to stop her in vain, "Wha- waitt! Iva-san, I didn't-"

But all she left is some puff of dust and forced responsibility. This time, I truly sigh hopelessly. The energy inside of my body feels like fading away to thin air. It is already so late at night. To think I have to go around this huge ship to find Yogi... ugh.

What can I do, I finally manage to accept my fate. Fine then. It's not like I have anything else to do.

Slowly, I drag my feet along the aisle. My mission is to find a sheep and ask them to deliver the message to Yogi. Now to think about it, isn't it weird how I didn't see any sheep since this afternoon? They usually wander around everywhere. Even in the most unexpected places.
