Chapter 247 Gathering for the play (1/2)

After talking for a bit more, the group decided to simply act in a wait and see manner. The classes went on, as usual, nothing out of the ordinary happened. The whole day panned out the same as every other day, the only difference was that the Mercenary club members didn't gather in the clubroom for lunch. Each one of them had something else they had to do.

Alex double checked the position of his subordinates, making sure that they were in the most optimal positions in case of emergencies.

Oliver on the other hand was talking on the phone with Specter a.k.a Raphael. He was making sure if he was really coming to the play this afternoon. Once he was done confirming that, he also called his master which he reminded about the play this afternoon. Oliver was trying his very best to bring in some reinforcements no matter how small. He even included that person who was a little bit irritating to him.

...

In the back of the school, Rachel was on the phone talking to her irritating father.

”Is everything alright?! Did those sh*tty assassins come again? I actually beat the sh*t out of six last night and two this morning. So did they come bothering you again?” Dan's explosive voice bursted out of Rachel's phone.

”Can you stop shouting all the time? No one showed up here, and even if they do Alex would've handled them.” Rachel answered with an irritated voice. Hearing what his daughter said made Dan even angrier.

”What the hell! How can that kid who's just my disciple, that can't even use full RELEASE without hurting himself actually be better than me! Open your eyes, that kid is fooling you!” Dan kept on shouting over the phone, which irritated Rachel even more.

”Shut Up! Damn it, stop screaming you sh*tty old man! Look at what you did, my eardrums are ringing. Also, when did I say Alex was better than you? All I said was Alex could handle the situation, if an assassin shows up.”

”Damn it! Open your eyes, my little girl! Your dad can easily wipe out the assassins as long as they show up, can Alex do the same thing?!”

”Oh God! This conversation isn't going anywhere, I just wanted to ask if you and the others are still coming to the play later,” Rachel spoke feeling tired by this conversation. She didn't really plan on calling her father and called her mother instead, but for some reason, this sh*tty father of hers was the one who answered the call.

”Of course we're coming, how can't we go! We need to see-” Once she heard what she wanted to hear, Rachel didn't continue to listen to Dan's nonsense and ended the call. Rachel felt tired by that whole ordeal.

...

Sayaka was on the rooftop of the new school building at the moment no one was there with her. Well, that's what other people would see if they looked, yet aside from Sayaka, there was another person present.

”So father what do you think?”

”It's a bit tricky, to do here in this school. Aside from that, other powerful people will be present later. Which raises the difficulty of fulfilling the task at hand. As the current Shadow of the Mutsu family, I do not wish to undertake a mission such as this... Still, it would seem that there is no escaping what's to come.” A voice coming from all around sounded out. To anyone who was listening in, the voice would sound like it was coming from all directions.

”I see...” Sayaka sighed, as she looked at the blue sky. The clouds were gathering rather nicely, it would seem that it would rain later.

”Do not fret my daughter, death comes to all, from the weak to the strong, from the sinner to the innocent, from the poor to the rich. Death comes equally to all. As an assassin, I hope you truly understand that fact.” When he was done saying what was needed Sayaka's father, the Shadow left the rooftop.

”I already know that... Still I-” Sayaka once again sighed, her face showing an unknown expression.

.....

Emily was double checking all the traps, she placed around the school. She even checked all the security cameras Alex so graciously installed all throughout the school. Once she was done doing that Emily contacted her brother.

”Hey Onii-chan, I hope you bring Miss Sarah later to my school play.”

”Of course I'll do that. No need to tell me twice.”
