Chapter 176 What?! (1/2)

It was a terrible night for all of the members that went to the sleepover, but it was also very educational for them as well. They learned things about themselves that they didn't noticed or tried to ignore.

Emily headed back to the mansion to pick up Lilitth, while the others started to get ready for school as well. Alex who was in a hurry last night wasn't able to bring his uniform, good thing Emily brought it for him.

Evangeline called for her driver to bring her uniform as well as escort them to school. Oliver on the other hand bolted out and went back to his house to get changed, since he wasn't expecting this to happen. Good thing his parents were really cool with almost everything... Now Oliver started to think, if there was a reason for that.

Kei was the only who was truly prepared for the sleepover. He took a bath changed clothes and was ready to go.

It took Rachel and Evangeline some time to prepare. Once the two were done, the group went inside the car Evangeline requested. Usually Kei would hesitate to get in, but after tonight he felt a bit more comfortable with being in this group.

...

When the group got to the gates of the school, Sayaka was there waiting for them. When she saw them the first thing she did was hug Rachel.

”Sorry about not being there for you Rachel.”

”It's alright Saya, but you need to tell me how you knew about the bounty on my head.” Rachel smiled gently at her best friend.

”Sure... I will explain it later at lunch when everyone is present.” While Sayaka and Rachel were talking, Alex had noticed something different with Sayaka. The presence she was giving off was almost nonexistent, for someone like Alex who is used to sensing the presence of others more than using his eyes, he found this situation really weird.

Not only was he unable to detect the hallucinogen last night, he was now having difficulty sensing the presence of others. If this continues he might not be able to protect Rachel properly.

'I guess I really need to retrain myself. I hope he comes quickly...'

...

While the group was having this conversation in front of the school gates. Emily was sending Lilitth to her school.

”Emily nee-san, are you alright? You haven't spoken since we left the mansion.” Lilitth looked at Emily a little worried. The outspoken Emily hasn't talked since awhile ago. Usually when they were alone, Emily would immediately talk about her favorite anime.

”Oh... Umm, it's nothing Lilitth, I was just thinking about something. No need to worry... Oh see were here already... I guess I'll see you later Lilitth.”

”Emily nee-san-” As Lilitth was calling her name Emily left without hearing her out. Lilitth was really worried at this point.

”I wonder what's happening to Emily nee-san.” As Lilitth thought about that, she suddenly saw a familiar person running to her.

”Lilitth! Waaah!”Niki suddenly appeared and hugged Lilitth while crying.

”Whoah, what's the problem Niki?”

”Nii-nii, nii-nii has, nii-nii has waah!” Niki began to cry again and hugged Lilitth even tighter.
