Chapter 176
It was a terrible night for all of the mbers 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 so ti 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 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 sothing different with Sayaka . The presence she was giving off was almost nonexistent, for soone 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 cos 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 imdiately talk about her favorite ani .
"Oh . . . Umm, it’s nothing Lilitth, I was just thinking about sothing . 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 na 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 .
. . .
Back in Alex’s school the students looked on in shock . Niel who stood in front of Alex and the gang with his usual radiant aura and smile, had sothing really different from yesterday . The almost, always perfect Niel had bandages on his arm .
"What happened to our Niel!"
"Who dares do that to Niel?! I’ll kill him!"
"Niel are you alright? Where does it hurt, co here I’ll kiss it to make it all better . "
"What the hell are you saying b*tch! What are you trying to do in the midst of the confusion . If anyone is going to kiss Niel’s arms it’s !"
A huge commotion happened when the student body saw Niel’s bandaged arm . Even the other mbers of the rcenary Club aside from Alex were shocked to see Niel’s arm bandaged .
"What happened to you Niel?" Rachel asked a bit worried .
"It’s nothing much, a criminal ca into my house and tried to steal so stuff and I stopped him . . . Well unfortunately, he got the better of and was able to stab my left arm . It was a good thing that I was able to contact the police beforehand and they were able to co and save . "
Niel told the others the story he and Alex approved of . The mont the other students heard what Niel said another uproar started .
"Damn robber! Hurting Niel like that, it’s a good thing the police were able to co on ti . If not who knows what could have happened to Niel . "
"Niel’s so cool! Able to stop a vicious criminal all by himself!"
"As expected of Niel, even when the criminal had a weapon he didn’t back down . "
Though the other students were convinced by Niel’s explanation . The people of the rcenary club plus Evangeline didn’t believe what Niel said . It must have been so kind of amazing criminal if they were able to wound Niel so badly . If it were a normal robber Niel would’ve dealt with him with ease . Still knowing that Niel doesn’t seem like he wants to talk about it, the group decided not push him for answers .
. . .
It was now lunch ti, and as usual everyone was in the clubroom, while Lyner was sleeping . All the mbers seem to be going through sothing at the mont since it wasn’t as lively as usual .
Emily and Sayaka who were usually the life of the group were silent as well . Seeing as no one was willing to speak, Rachel decided to be the one to break the silence .
"So Saya, you told that you would explain how you knew about the bounty on my head . Will you care to explain that, to , now?"
Sayaka who was quietly eating her al, looked at Rachel . She saw that though Rachel’s voice seem calm the look in her eyes said otherwise . Sayaka seeing her best friend like that, could only sigh before answering .
"I guess I should, shouldn’t I? . . . *sigh* Well Rachel and all my friends gathered here today . There’s no easy way to tell this to you guys but . . . I’m an assassin . "
The mont Sayaka said this everything went quiet and after a few seconds, almost all the mbers shouted in unison .
"WHAT?!"
