Chapter 47 The aftermath of the game (1/2)
When Alex who was carrying Niel exited the school premise with Lyner, he saw Oliver, Rachel, and Saya waiting for them. Alex set aside Niel and looked at the group, who were looking at him and Lyner expectantly. This was except for Oliver who seem to be trying to evade Lyner's gaze.
'I'm sure no one saw me. Yup if they did they would've said so already.' Oliver was reassuring himself as he tried to act calm.
'Is Oliver trying to deny his involvement in the fight? It is true Sir. Lyner was really focused at fighting me, that he shouldn't have noticed Oliver... Fine then, if Oliver wants to stay low profile in this situation then so be it, as his comrade I will support him.' Alex once again misunderstood Oliver's actions.
”So what's the verdict?” Saya anxiously asked, this was the first time Alex saw this expression on her face. Saya who was like a cloud in the sky was acting worried?... Alex didn't bother to understand what was going on inside Saya's head, since the moment he says the result, she would most probably scream in happiness.
Before Alex could answer Saya's inquiry, Lyner answered for him. ”Before I say the verdict. First I need all of you to listen since I wont repeat this twice. So that means I need to wake this guy up.” Lyner then tapped some of Niel's pressure points, which jolted Niel awake.
”What happened?” Even though he was confused and disoriented by suddenly waking up, Niel still asked this question with a bit of elegance to it.
Rachel started explaining the current situation to him, which made Niel look at Lyner with a smile of expectation.
”So the conclusion of our game of tag... It's the Mercenary club's victory. Be happy I'm going to be you're adviser.” When Lyner announced the result of the game, Rachel, Saya, and Niel looked happy. Specially Saya for some reason she was even crying tears of joy. Seriously what's going on with her? Oliver on the other hand seem distracted by something and doesn't seem to be enjoying the result like he should be.
”Yay! We're now officially a new club! Let's go celebrate!” Saya announced her intention to go and have fun, but the response she got was not what she expected it to be.
”Nah you guys go and have fun, I'm going to sleep. My bones aren't like they use to be, I need to rest after a workout like that. So go enjoy your youth and all that sh*t” Lyner yawned as he rejected Saya, with his usual reason of sleep.
”I can't go, I have another mission I need to accomplish. Farewell my comrades until tomorrow.” Oliver didn't even wait for Saya to respond before he left.
”I and Rachel cannot attend as well.” Alex told Saya with the usual indifference.
”WHY?” Saya said aloud a bit irritated that no one wants to celebrate their success, she started pouting. While it was drowned by Saya's loud voice, Rachel shouted as well since she couldn't understand why Alex answered for her.
”Have you guys forgotten? We still need to buy an AC for Sir. Lyner. Right now it's exactly 20:10 only a few more shops selling AC's are open so we need to find one. We also need to buy a bed.” Alex started to explain to the Saya the reason for his rejection.
”So the two of you are going to a da-” Saya who was about to say something was stopped by Rachel who covered her mouth.
