Chapter 219 - News from South Sea (1) (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

I watched the banter happened in front of me while eating quietly. We didn't have any training today and as far as my eyes could see, I didn't see any ghost or even my own men around us. It was like a normal day of normal human. I didn't even sense any negative aura which could be felt even though I couldn't see them.

It was too calm that I couldn't help but feel uneasy. Even though we wouldn't face any evil ghosts or entities every day, our life had never been this calm before.

Calm before a storm.

I just hoped it wouldn't be that case.

Anyway, since we could have a normal day without seeing ghost, I decided to enjoy it to the fullest. After eating our fill, we planned to visit some places in Y City that had not been visited before.

The strange thing was we didn't see any entities at home, but we didn't see any of them when we were outside too. It was like there was no trace of them in Y City. It was so strange that I couldn't help but think about it even when we were having fun.

The weather was nice and the air felt clear. Our surrounding was filled with positive vibe that made most people looked even more pleasant. I was supposed to enjoy it but there was something that made me concern.

Biting the spoon in my hand, my eyes were wandering around, trying to see any ghost that would possibly pop out of nowhere. Usually ghosts in form of kids were the easiest to spot because of their playful nature. However, I could see any of them.

My eyes squinted in uncertainty. What's going on with this weird vibe?

”What is in your head?” Tom knocked on my forehead softly.

”Your ice cream is going to melt if you keep daydreaming like that.” Sanji scooped a big portion of ice cream from my bowl, followed by my resentful glare.

”It doesn't mean you can take it!” I pulled my bowl closer to me to prevent him snatching more of it.

Sanji smirked. ”You only realized now? That's the fifth time I ate your ice cream, sweetheart. It means that whatever distracts you from eating ice cream is something serious.” He smiled while speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

”You have us. Don't think about everything by yourself.” Tom reached out his hand and forcefully took my bowl. ”And you should stop eating ice cream, for real. It's your third bowl, right? You don't want to get stomachache tomorrow during the meeting, right?” He said while meeting my glare head on.

I blinked my eyes in resignation. I couldn't argue with them over that matter. It was indeed my third bowl. If they didn't remind me, I would have finished it up and I was sure I would get stomachache later.

”You should have said that in my second bowl.” I said weakly, trying to blame it to them.

”We've tried. But you just didn't listen. Turns out you've been zoning out so seriously that you didn't even hear us. But, your way of zoning out is really awesome. You were daydreaming, but you're still able to order another bowl of ice cream.” Tom clapped his hands while staring at me.
