Chapter 184
After the fiasco with Kei, the group was able to do some practicing . Kei was as expected unable to act well, his voice was also a bit husky making it sound weird with his new looks . So after a brief discussion, they decided that Rachel would be doing a voice over for Kei .
Seeing as she wouldn"t be able to become the female lead, being the voice of the female lead was good as well . It was quite hard to match up to her voice with Kei"s moving mouth, but after a few more tries she was able to get the timing right .
After an hour of practicing the group from the Drama Club as well as the Mercenary Club needed to leave .
. . .
As the group was heading towards Lilitth and Niki"s school, Emily and Rachel sandwiched Sayaka in between them .
"So Saya what are you going to do about Oliver?" Rachel whispered to Sayaka .
"You"ll find out tomorrow, it"s going to be a surprise . "
"Oh, don"t act coy, we all know that you"re going to say yes . " Emily chimed in, and the girls started giggling .
On the boy"s side, Alex closed in on Oliver . He then whispered something to his friend . "Oliver are you sure about this? Asking Saya to be your girlfriend . "
"I"m sure . "
"Even though she is an a.s.sa.s.sin, do you think she would be able to handle your lifestyle?" Alex was obviously referring to his Oliver"s lifestyle as a mercenary . When Oliver heard Alex say this, another thought pa.s.s through his mind .
Oliver"s mind was currently in a very weird state that he couldn"t understand so it might have some problems with the relations.h.i.+p he wanted . Still as a man and one who wants to stand in the pinnacle of strength, sweating the small stuff such as this, didn"t feel right .
"It"s alright Alex I can handle it, and I"m sure she could as well . If she can"t, then I"ll protect her . " Oliver spoke with a.s.surance as he answered .
Alex who saw the resolute Oliver felt something weird . "To make Oliver decide to do this, he must really love Saya . . . " For some reason, Alex looked at Rachel for a moment, before he shook his head .
"What the h.e.l.l am I thinking? Why am I thinking about it? d.a.m.n it, what is this feeling? These people have opened up to me, and I remained the same . What"s the point of all this strength that I gained? What"s the purpose, why did I do this?"
Alex had gone silent as he started to question himself . Oliver unaware of what was going on thought that he and Alex were having a moment .
. . .
Kei, on the other hand, was having even more problems now . He was having a roller coaster of a day . A lot has happened and it was really a lot . At this moment Kei couldn"t help but look at Emily and think about that supposed date of his with her .
He had failed his confession to Sayaka and was now going on a date with an equally cute girl . Was everything happening right now, really happening, or was he still in a fever dream because of the hallucinogens Emily spread .
Noticing Kei was staring at her, Emily smiled at him and winked . Seeing that cute display from Emily, Kei couldn"t help but avert his eyes and blush . Emily on the other hand couldn"t help but smile even more seeing on how cute Kei was acting .
"What the h.e.l.l is wrong with me! First I think Sayaka is the one I like and was about to confess to her . Now I think Emily is cute and I want to confess to her! What the h.e.l.l is this?! Am I just another f*cking h*rny teenager? Skipping from one girl to another . "
Kei was scolding himself in his mind .
. . .
Niel who was watching all the varied expressions of his juniors found all of these quite interesting . All of them seem to be improving . He couldn"t help but chuckle on how nice everyone"s relations.h.i.+ps, were flowing so smoothly .
"Hmm, I guess I should also try my luck . "
. . .
The group got Lilitth and Niki from school and went their separate ways . It was at this point Alex remembered the thing he asked Rachel to do .
"Emily I want you, to head home first . " Emily didn"t ask any questions and simply followed what Alex ordered . This surprised Alex but he had no time to deal with this at the moment . With Lilitth at hand, Alex approached Rachel .
Seeing Alex nearing her got Rachel confused for a bit . If Alex were a normal guy, with everything that happened as well as seeing his best friend confessed to a girl, Alex would"ve thought about confessing to her; but seeing as Alex was far from a normal boy, she didn"t expect much .
"Rachel, pack what you need and like I said yesterday come with me back to my house . "
