"This is all your fault that we lost! Could you be more helpful?" 

"...I'm sorry." Bi' An said it softly. He apologized to Mary for their previous match in pack hunter. Mary only gives him cynical look.

"Useless hunter." She whispered and left him. Bi An heard her words but chose to ignore it. When he took his umbrella and going to go outside untill someone called for him.

"Wu Chang, how's you match today?" Leo asked with curiosity. Bi An stared him for a while and answered as usually.

Leo nodded and asked again. "Do you have any problems these days? I saw most of your records are loses and ties." 

"...I'm fined. I'm just still not good enough." He said and smiled. Leo gives his worried face as if this hunter really is on good state.

Leo permitted himself and told Bi An to call him anytime if he has any problems. Bi An nodded his head and left the room.

When he is going to his room. He saw a lobby room, the door seems open a little. He decided to get in. The first thing he saw is a monitor. The monitor shows a hunter's match. He sees there is someone doing a match now. 

He carefully saw the hunter dashed fastly towards those survivors she hunt. Her dashes show how agiley she is. Beautiful but yet deadly. Bi An kept watching her match till it done.

3 minutes pass by, there is only one survivor remaining. The dungeon is already opened. The survivor fastly runs to the dungeon but Michiko catches him up and hit him. The last survivor is incaticipated right in front of the dungeon. 

'How unfortunate.' Bi An is going to leave when he knows how the result will be, but he stopped cause what he saw is shocking him.

Michiko spared the last survivor and bowed to him with respect. The match ended with a win for hunter but one escaped. Bi An is confused for her act. Why would she do that? Maybe he will know later.

Today's morning, the hunters are having urgent meeting. Leo said the host wants the hunters to participate pack hunter this evening. Bi An heard him and sipped his tea calmly. He hoped he won't be chosen.

"And congratulations for Wu Chang, he is chosen by the Host himself for pack hunter." 

Or maybe not.

Bi An drinks off his tea. Tea can calm someone. Atleast for him. "So, who's going to be my partner, Hell Ember?" Honestly, he doesn't want to do any matches today. 

"You can choose the partner or they will volunteer themselves." This is going to be fined, right?

Bi An looked confused. Who will he choose? He doesn't feel close with other hunters nor feel comfortable. He approach his umbrella. And still looking around until there is someone volunteer.

"Let me. I'll be Wu Chang's partner."

"So you volunteer yourself Miss Geisha?"

"Yes, Mr. Hell Ember."

Ah, it's her. The hunter he saw yesterday. Why would she want to play match together with him?
He sees Michiko walked to him and smiled. "Hope we can be cooperate, Mr. Wu Chang." She said with a calm smile and a little hums.

Bi An nodded his head and smiled nervously.

This is going to be fined, right?

Bi An closed his door's room. He sit on his bed, he looked closely to his window. It's still morning. Atleast he has many times before pack hunter. He sighed and looked at the umbrella he is holding.

He gives a warm smile. "It's a beautiful morning right, Wu Jiu?" 

No answer.

Bi An chuckled a little and he stared at his window. "I feel grateful that you always prepared breakfast for me." He stopped his words for a while and continued. "I really want to hear your voice again. Saying good morning to me."

No answer.

Bi An smiled, but it's a different smile. "Can I hear your voice again, Wu Jiu? If yes, please say something to me." He said with sorrow voice.

Still no answer. 

Bi An stared at his umbrella. He instantly hug his umbrella to his chest tightly. "Please, Wu Jiu. I beg you." 

The room remains silence but tears and cries. 

Michiko who is in front of Bi An's room all the time heard all of it. She can hear the voice and tears from inside. She was going to talk with Bi An for their match later. But looks like it's not a right time now. She then took her steps to leave his room.

But, there's one thing she was confused. Who is he talking about? Who's Wu Jiu? She shook her head. Maybe it's the best for her to not intervene.

Is it just his hallucinations?
