Chapter 246 Before the play (1/2)

The moment Alex entered the clubroom, he saw the solemn faces of the people inside. Even the usual cheery Emily and Sayaka were showing such faces. This was how grave the situation there were in, even Evangeline who wasn't really a part of the other side could vaguely sense the impending danger. Kei who couldn't feel anything at all, only knew something big was about to happen, based on the information he has gathered.

”So what do we do now?” The one who asked this was Rachel. Hearing her question some of them started to look at Alex's direction, while some looked at Oliver's direction. Emily, Evangeline, Niel and Oliver were looking at Alex, while Rachel, Kei, Sayaka and Alex were looking at Oliver. This uncomfortable staring lasted for a few minutes

”Well since Alex was the one who called us over, he should be the one to speak.” Oliver was the one who broke the staring contest between the two sides.

”Actually I just wanted to talk about the situation we're in, and that's it. In reality I don't have any kind of plan. Since I have no concrete information, and just have some bits and pieces. I decided making a plan in this kind of situation was impossible for me. So in the end I decided that I would respond to the problem no matter what is, the moment I see it.”

Alex as usual gave his usual blunt opinion. The others hearing Alex had no plan of any kind was feeling a bit disheartened.

”I see, so even you don't have one...” Oliver looked upward and sighed.

”How about you Oliver, do you have anything?”This time Alex asked Oliver. Hearing Alex's question Oliver shrugged his shoulders.

”It's not a plan or anything, but I just want us to stick together as a group. Also I have the same opinion as you Alex. I think we can only respond to the problem, once we actually know what the problem is.”

”How about you Emily, you keep on thinking of outrageous plans. Do you have something in mind for our current situation?” This time it was Rachel that spoke. Emily was surprised to be suddenly called. She responded by pointing her finger at herself and tilting her head a bit, making her actually look cuter than normal.

”Are you talking to me?” Out of nowhere, the solemn atmosphere suddenly broke. That one line plus action from Emily destroyed the seriousness and tension in the air.

”Yeah, I'm talking to you! Weren't you listening to the conversation we're having?!” Rachel suddenly shouted, getting a bit irked by Emily's cutesy play.
