"About the rumor…" I say, waiting for the right mont, "I heard that there could be an attack at the fireworks."
"What?" Arthur said and all eyes turned to .
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Xavier said.
"What is it?" I smile and take a look at all of them, "Why such long faces?"
"Henry… you just said that there's going to be an attack on the fireworks day?" Alex said and along with him, Arthur and Xavier had grave faces.
They didn't know the full truth but they heard simple things about Henry having a connection with so gang. But to what extent, that they couldn't tell. All they could say were that if anyone were to know what's happening underground, it would be Henry.
He would be the most knowledgeable person about such matters.
So hearing that there's going to be an attack, they took his words to heart.
Wilson on the other hand… the guy was ready to believe almost all word coming out of Henry.
"Haha, I just said that it's a rumor. Don't get so worked up over it." I laugh while biting on the leg piece. "What I said is sothing I just heard other people talking about."
"Which other people?" Xavier had his eyes narrowed.
"Does it matter?"
"…"
They were all quiet until I spoke.
"Haaa… you guys are too tight, loosen up a bit. I just said it was only a rumor." I say trying to calm them down, "It's not confird or anything, just telling you guys to be a bit cautious."
Seeing that Henry wasn't being truly serious, they cald themselves down. But the thought of sothing like that happening didn't go away from their mind.
"So how would it happen?" Arthur asked. He wanted to know more information in case it really happened and wanted protect people.
"How would I know?" I look at him, dead in the face as he smiled awkwardly.
"Righ- Right!"
"But if it did… How do you think it would?" Xavier asked.
"Hmm, if it did…" I think for a mont as everyone looks at and then I say, "…Why would I tell you?"
"You fuckin-"
"Hahaha" I laugh seeing the blown off expression of Xavier.
The guy maybe on good link with Arthur, but that doesn't an he was with . To , the guys still was an egotist and self-righteous guy.
He may be chummy with Arthur but who says I'm chummy with Arthur… was that right?
It was a good picture looking at him being held by Arthur. A rapacious dog should have an owner… even if it's soone too good for the dog.
"But can you tell ?" I turn to see it was Alex. "I want to know."
"Well since it's you Alex, I'll say it."
Xavier imdiately stops struggling and listens to what I'm about to say.
Seeing their looks, I really wanted to ss with them.
'This guys… they'll probably believe if I told them the attack would co from the sky with poops falling on everyone.'
"They'll probably attack a place with high population." I say and they look intently at , "Causing a large scale damage would be good for them."
"Why?" Wilson asked .
"Because if they're going to attack, causing the most damage would spread fear the most, which they'll probably use and continue on their nefarious idea."
"And what could that nefarious idea be?" Xavier asked and I didn't ss with him this ti.
"I don't know… it'll have to depend on what group is attacking and what their goal is."
I stop and look at their faces. They were looking at with such concentration, that it seed like I was telling them the attackers exact plan.
I smile, "I know what you're thinking… that because of my connection, what I say will probably happen, right?"
"Uhm…"
Except for Wilson, all of them were a bit flustered and tried to say so excuse. But I stop them.
"It's okay… its completely normal for you to think so and it's exactly the reason why I'm telling you to be cautious, but…" I look up at them, "If an attack really were to happen, it would be as I said in a heavy populated area… but we might not be able to do anything."
"Why?" Arthur and Xavier asked about it.
"I get it." Alex said, "It's because of the fireworks, right?"
I nod smilingly, "Correct. The noise and display from the fireworks would work against us."
"Hmm…" Alex nodded before realizing sothing, "But why are you telling this to us? Wouldn't it be better to tell this to the teacher or guards?"
"Who said I'm telling you about the thugs plans?"
"Huh?"
"As I said, I'm warning you." I tell them in a whisper like voice, "This is only a rumor, nothing else."
But for the others, they took it in the wrong way.
They thought that because Henry had connections with the underground, he couldn't go to the royal guards or anyone. So he told it to his group of friends that could do sothing.
Alex's family had connection with the army.
Xavier's had connection with Nobility.
Arthur was the hero so he needed to listen.
Wilson… was just there.
Seeing all of them giving thumbs up, I had a tangled look.
'What are these fuckers thinking about?'
Suddenly, Arthur's eyes flashed with happiness as he stood up and called out, "ELISABETH!"
His voice reverberated through the whole cafeteria until reaching the effected person's ears. She looked back and smiled, seeing her childhood friend and crus- her good friend.
She also shook her hands and called him, "Arthu-"
But that voice imdiately downed itself when she saw Henry turn his head and look at her.
'No! Why is Henry doing with Arthur!'
'If he's with Arthur then what should I do?'
'Should I run, hide myself or wait until Arthur leaves and talk with him?'
Elisabeth's face blushed as she felt guilty.
'Why is this so difficult for !?'
"H- Hi Henr-"
"HENRY! IT'S !" Before she could say anything, the silver haired warrior sprang forth.
Elisabeth saw Samantha spread her hand in happiness like Arthur was. Then she started going towards them.
'NO! Why are you going there! Unholyness, Now I can't even hide from them or they'll know sothings wrong with .'
Elisabeth had her inner dilemma before she controlled them and went behind Samantha.
…
'Ah, there she is.' I look at Samantha, waving like a freaking maniac and coming towards , 'Is it just or is she becoming more of a burden lately?'
"How has your days been, Henry? I heard that you won a huge ranked fight and beca number 1 in your class." Samantha said.
"Thank you…" I say and look back at Elisabeth quietly standing behind, almost hiding herself.
'So she really saw my fight by herself.'
"Hey there, Elisabeth."
She jolted and looked up, "H- Hi, Henry. How are yo-"
"Elisabeth, look at this!" Arthur called her, "I also won my ranked fight and got promoted to rank 2."
Elisabeth a bit disappointed at being disturbed, nonetheless smiled for her friend, "That's great He- Arthur! Ve- Very good." She smiled, hiding her anxiousness.
Arthur didn't realize and pointed next to him, "Sit here."
Elisabeth smiled at and was about to go when I had an idea.
"Hey, Elisabeth."
"Yes, Henry."
I point right next to , shoving aside Wilson, "This place is free too, you can sit here if you want."
Elisabeth looked at the place for a mont. Her face blank before turning bright red.
'UNHOLYNEESSSS!'
