“ So... Sally. Can you tell us about Candy Candido and the lab you mentioned? How did you get out of it? What have you known?”
Roxxy Barrett asked gently, Toshi next to her.
Although they didn't show any threatening atmosphere on their faces, because Sally was still not familiar with them. She looks uncomfortable to speak out.
“ Don't worry. Calm down and say it slowly.” Toshi said.
Sally grabs and holds Syd's shirt next to her tightly.
“.... Ahh... She's scared of you...must be that your face is scary. Tryna chills out, Luv, you look angry all the time.”
“ I'm not your love If you ain't helping then fuck off.”
She replied coldly.
“.......”
“ Hey, Brat. I'm here with you. I ain't going anywhere. Come on! We can't help you if you don't tell us anything.”
Syd said.
“ Yeah, he's right.”
Toshi moved from the other side of the table next to Sally.
“ This beautiful girl is this motherfucker's siblings. Don't scared of her, even she looks like she's angry.”
The girl used another hand holds Toshi's arm tightly too.
She's in between them and that helps her to soothe down a bit.
Somehow these 2 are the only people she trusts.
“ U...umu...” Sally nods before continues,
“ They told me I was special... I-I don't know what they meant...but-”
“ Who is that ‘They’ ?” Roxxy asked.
“... I don't know... They were some kind of scientists... They wore white long shirts...like...”
“ Like the doctor?”
“ Y...yeah... I don't know any of them... It was since I'd remembered... Betty would take me to the lab...and they gave me a pill...so...I...”
“... WAIT, wait...what?...” Toshi paused her,
“ Betty? Betty's dormergue?”
“... I-I don't know... I called her Betty... She's with me since I was born...”
Roxxy quickly opened Betty Dormergue's image and shown it to her.
“This person?”
Sally nods.
“....”
“Is she your mother?”
“... I don't know... She never told me... She never told me to call her mom... But she was the only one who took care of me... Betty loves Candy... But Candy doesn't love me...”
“ Brat, How the fuck you run away from them?”
Syd asked.
“... I used the time when Betty is sleeping... Got out of her house... And sneaked up the boat, I don't even know where would I end up but I'm here... In this place...”
“ Lmao, this Lil' brat. She kinda got balls to do this shit. Like--”
“ Syd, you're interrupting her.”
Roxxy pointed out, then continued.
“.... So... Basically, You are under her property? And Betty takes you to the lab and they gave you pills?.... Is that pill... This?”
Roxxy showed another image to Roxxy. It's the pill sample they took from Candy.
“... no...not this one... It's pink”
“....!?....”
“ What did that pill do to you?”
Syd asked.
“ They said that pill made me obtained this ability... without bleeding or dying... They took me to do something I don't even know what it was... They...*Sob* They put... Sharp things in my skin *Sob* They hurt me...it hurts... It very hurts... They didn't even help me but writing stuff down to paper... They are bad guys... They ain't telling me anything they just kept putting me in there and hurt me *Sob* ”
Sally starts crying. She sobbed and shoved her face on Toshi's shirt.
“... So... Monter used the brat as a sample...to test their products... So... brat...”
“.... Y...yeah?...”
“ The pink pill you said was the reason you obtain the ability to see things that humans can't see, yes?”
She nods.
“ And nothing is wrong with your body?”
She nods again.
“... I see, So this is why they saw you so special. Because you have something that other people don't. The pill can't affect your body.”
Roxxy said.
“ So, you know anyone more than Candy?”
“... U..umu... They are another man and another woman... Candy calls them ‘Pete’ and ‘Daisy’....”
(... They must be those Candy confessed...)
Roxxy thought.
“ You know how they looked like?”
Toshi asked.
“ Yes. I remember them... They are people who ask the scientist to hurt me...”
“.... You know where that lab is?”
Sally shook her head.
“ but you remember Candy's evil friends right?”
Sally nods.
Syd moved to Roxxy, leaving Sally with Toshi, whispering into her ears.
“ We shouldn't use Mickey's ability to read this girl's memory. She's still a kid. We are not sure how much it'll hurt her and it's not good for Mickey too.”
“... I agree. We should use that as the last method.”
Roxxy then turns to Sally.
“... Can you tell us what they look like...”
Sally nods.
“... Yes...”

30 minutes later
.
.
.
.
Jody was sitting on the sofa with the TV on, it's been around half an hour since Sera went out for Mickey upstairs, leaving her behind.
Right now, in front of Jody was a middle size desk, she had brought a small PVC pipe and a soft hand-size pillow.
Needless to say, she wanted to achieve the swapping ability so much that she wanted to try it on her own.
“ Just a little bit...”
That's what she said.
Then, Jody began. She touched her hands to each object and focused.
She closed her eyes, then began to release her inner energy.
“.....”
She breathes more and more, an aura went around her hand... But it's a little different from Syd's Aura. Because he is Black-Red, but hers is White-Blue.
“.....”
She followed all the steps she had done, her energy is getting drained a lot.
.
.
.
But nothing happened.
“....”
Maybe she should try harder?
“.....”
“.... Phew... *gasp*... It drains lots of energy... How can Syd control it?”
“.....”
She tried again, but nothing happened.
Thus, she surrenders.
Back to the normal pose, Jody left objects on the table. Staring at them.
(... What am I doing... Syd hasn't confirmed that I've mastered it yet, I still wanna try out... I should stop for now or else I'll really-)
“ Woah, your aura forms a color already?”
“ !? ”
Jody startled by the mysterious voice behind her.
She turns back and sees that it's him. Syd Barrett.
“....”
“ So, you're tryna do this on your own? Self-study?”
“.... Yeah...”
“ But I remember I had said you can't do this on your own when I'm not moderating you. Because it's dangerous, had I not?”
“ Just a little bit. It's not that severe.”
“..... Yes, you're correct.”
Syd jumps over and lands on the sofa next to Jody.
“ But leaking out your energy too much can make you faint without even realize. Just like when you kept running until you faint in the air, like that.”
“ Yes. Syd, you've told me that.”
“ So why you still not follow my advice? I thought you'd be more mature and listen to me.”
Syd shows a sign that he's a little bit disappointed.
“I was gonna stop. Don't be ridiculous, Syd. I know my limit but you came first.”
She claims.
“.....”
Syd twisted his face like he didn't believe that.
“.... Oh? Really? ”
“ Yeah.”
Jody normally replied.
“ Not like a 17-year-old boy, still watching kid's cartoon. That should more be questioned if he's already a grown man or Nah-- !!!!”
Soft, deep, and calm tone of voice, but with powerful context. It does so much damage to Syd Barrett.
“ HEY! shut the fuck up, Jody!”
Unexpected thing happens, Syd quickly covered Jody's mouth with his hand and push her down to the sofa.
“ ?! ”
( In a low tone of voice )
“ Don't say that shit. I've already told you It was just an accident!”
But that couldn't help.
“ Heheheh, don't lie to me, Syd. I still remember you looked so dedicated to the show like you put all your focus on it. How's that an accident? *chuckles* I've stood there like a minute and you still watched it...”
Jody grabbed his arm and pull it out.
“ This is what makes you look like a kid. I won't judge it, it's okay to like something. I understand. Do they know you like them?”
“.....”
Syd Barrett is embarrassed as shit. He didn't reply so that's already obvious.
“ Really?! Wow! I feel exclusive!”
“ just Roxxy.”
“ well, that's common... So...you don't want your bros to know it or what?”
“... *Sigh* Just shut the fuck up.”
“ You're afraid that they'll mock you, Syd?”
“ You talk about it again and I'll fuking break your crippling legs.”
“ You know you're so cute when you're angry, right? ”
Jody chuckles.
“.....”
Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
“ What the fuck. You're weird.”
He said.
“.....”
Dead-air stepped in.
Jody staring into his eyes, she still grinning, just a little bit of her mouth that curves up.
“.....”
“... Oh... Look at you. I think calling you “Syd” the 9-year-old is not a bad idea.”
“... Then Imma calls you Lizard from now on. Are you aware that you're fucking deadpan, you know that? like a fucking Lizard.”
They continue talking without knowing that Syd was still on top of Jody's body, and she was still holding his arms tightly. And another thing they forgot is that Sera was already there, staring at them...
“.....”
“... What the bloody...fuck...you are doing?!....”
Sera was shocked.
Mickey following behind appears out of her back, staring at them silently.
“ What? ”
Syd asked.
“... Oh shit, right...”
As they both realized, Syd Barrett and Jody Johanson got out of that position.
Even Jody shows no emotion towards them, but her ears turned a little red as she realized what she was doing with Syd.
“ Hey, Hey, chill. I can explain... She's talking shit about me so I'm about to break her legs, that's all! ”
“ Talking shit?? Jody is talking shit?? You are saying...that Jody Johanson, is talking shit about you?”
Sera twisted her eyebrows.
She's tryna say that...
It's highly unlikely.
However, before that goes too far, Toshi Ishii cuts in.
“ Roxxy calls out for the conference table. The next mission is confirmed.”
“.....”
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
On the conference table. The dining room.
Everyone is surrounding Roxxy Barrett, of course, that includes Sally Salmacis between Syd Barrett and Toshi Ishii.
“ Sally has given all the information she knows to us. And that actually helps us a lot. We've already known the name of the other 2 of Candy's colleagues. But now the mission has split into 2 parts when we go back to England. One, take Sally and transfer her to HQ, to keep her in a safe zone. Two, find these two of Candy's allies.”
Roxxy showed them the laptop screen.
It's a picture of a woman and a man.
“ The woman here is “Daisy Raine” She's one of the important chairman and influencer associates with the fashion industry in France. And the man here is “Pete Wett.” her husband.”
As soon as Roxxy mentioned the name “Pete Wett.“ Jody noticed that Syd Barrett shows a little surprised on his face.
Jody then asked.
“... You know him? ”
“ Yeah. Pete Wetton, a big businessman. The big fat mouse of the business I would say. He does the same business my home does but mine in Asia, his in Europe.”
“ I was shocked when I discovered it.”
Roxxy grins before she added to his explanation.
“ This is like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. It'd be a golden opportunity to kick him out of mom's business.”
“... you're taking this as personal...”
Sera commented.
“ Anyway, back to the mission. Sally confirmed that they are these two. So. When we went back to England, which is tomorrow morning. Sera is that okay?”
“ By all means. Yes.”
“ Good.”
Roxxy turns to everyone and continues.
“The mission begins instantly once we arrive in London, Our trust-worthy sources reported that they will have a trip to Chinese tomorrow. Probably they are all aware of us. But still doesn't know much about who we are. That's our advantage. And we need to stop them before they do that.”
The monitor screen turns off.
“ That's for today. But we must be aware of the enemy. We will face them again, like the two in this afternoon. We need people to take care of Sally from now until we hand her to HQ.”
“....”
Sally hugs Syd Barrett so tight that he's getting uncomfortable, They immediately know that Sally is scare of something call HQ.
“ Is Syd coming with me?”
Asked Sally.
“ Nope. I'll be with you until you are safe. And other good people will take care of you. So no one can hurt you again.”
“ What about brother Tommy?”
“ Who the fuck is Tommy?”
Asked Syd.
Sally points to Toshi.
“ No. He ain't going with you either. We have things to do, remember? Beat them asses.”
“....Are they like you? ”
“ There is no one like me, I agree that they might not be as good as me, but they can take care of you.”
( Sera whispered to Jody )
“ He's getting cocky again..."
Jody shakes her head a little. Before she asked Sally out.
“ Sally, what charm did he (Syd) got? You seem to like him so much even he keeps calling you a brat?”
“......”
Sally was embarrassed to say it out.
“ Sally, This guy is the type of person that whips out a steak and eats it in front of vegans. Like... I don't understand ”
Sera added.
“ What the fuck? That's nonsense.”
Syd defends himself.
“ He's... Uh... He's kinda cool...”
Sally replied.
“.....”
“.......”
“ You like him?”
As Jody asked, Sally was more embarrassed. She quickly nods down while holding his arm tightly.
“..... What about this guy?”
She points to Toshi.
“ Yeah. I like him too...”
Sally used another hand to hold Toshi's arm.
“.....”
“ So you like them both?”
She nods.
“ They are cool...and uh... Handsome...”
“ Of course, I am.”
Syd quickly pads Sally's head.
“.....”
Jody and Sera looked at them in sarcastic eye sights.
.
.
.
.
.
.
An hour later...
They have split up to do their free-time after the conference has ended.
As mentioned in the previous chapter, There are 2 rooms upstairs and they are owned by the girls. So the boy sleeps in the living room.
Sera agrees to share the same room with Jody so that Roxxy and Sally can use the room together.
Roxxy is still working on her lap-top on the dining table, Toshi is enjoying his Nintendo switch next to her.
Sera and Jody are packing their stuff on the upstairs.
In the bathroom, upstairs...
Mickey Mannix is standing on the shower shelf, confusing.
So he decided to call his friend.
“ Syd...”
Not for long, Syd Barrett arrived.
“ What?”
“ Look at this shit.”
Mickey points out, showing at least 20 types of shampoo bottles on the shelf.
“ HOLY Fuck. I just saw it, dawg... WTF whose shampoos is this?!...”
The boys start to pick them up and analyze.
“ Bro. This ain't even shampoo... It says... Moisturiser...and this *shows another bottle* is baby oil...”
“ This must be one of them, or maybe both of them you know what I mean?”
Syd asked.
“... Yeah, bro... Roxxy doesn't use these... Damn, they bring these for sale or what?
“ I'll go ask them out.”
Syd then walked straight to the girl's room, he knocks the door before opens in.
“ Hey... Who owns those shampoos?
Jody then replied to him.
“ Oh, right... We're about to go get them. Aren't you guys gonna use the bathroom first or what?”
“ Nah. Come on.”
Syd came back with Jody and Sera.
“ You know, I kinda understand that woman's hair needs a lot of care... But these twice dozens of shampoo bottles are kinda too much, don't you think? Even they're a mix between you two-”
“ What do you mean, Mickey? I only own these 3...”
Jody replied to him with only 3 bottles of hair&skin care products in her hands.
“......”
That makes Syd and Mickey stunned...
“ Wait... Don't tell me that...”
Mickey turns back...
“ All these products... It's YOURS?! SERA?! WHAT THE FUCK?! ”
Mickey completely shocks.
“ What? I need to take care of my skin. We've been rumbled so many times, why not?”
Sera asked in confused. Her hands are collecting all these tons of cream.
“ Shit, lady... Not only it objects me from finding my soap...”
“ You don't even understand a woman. Mickey... Not One Bit.”
“ NOT.ONLY. IT. OBJECTS.ME. FROM. FINDING. MY.SOAP.”
The fight is about to start again. Jody turned back to Syd who is fading away from here, she follows him and askes.
“ You ain't gonna stop them?”
“ No one can win an argument against Mickey. So why bother?”
“ Really?”
“ Yeah.”
“ But Sera is rough around the edge type. Is it really fine to let them quarrel?”
“ Mickey is a logical person. I bet 10$ on Mickey that he'd win.”
“....”
“ Okay, Syd. If you said so...”
( Back to the bathroom )
“ Seriously? Are we going to quarrel all the time? Why are you being so asshole towards me Huh?!”
“ See? Looks like you didn't catch up a single word from that room, did ya?”
“ That is irrelevant!”
“ It sure does.”
“ It doesn't”
“ It does. So far You're still an ignorant bitch in my sights.”
Mickey turns back, picks up a toothbrush, and starts washing his mouth.
“ GRRRRRRRR!!!! ”
“ Why are you still here? Sera? Just to suffer? Or you wanna shower with me? Then go out there and announce to everyone first, okay? I need consent.”
He continued brushing his teeth.
“ STOP! I thought I was going to change my mind on you! But it's not at all! You're disgusting! Mannix--”
“ Oh...?”
Mickey spotted something was climbing his feet, he picked it up...
“ Sera, check this out. A gecko.”
He then proceeds to toss a gecko at her.
Sera quickly jumps back, hits the shower curtains, and falls down to the bath, screaming at her loudest voice possible.
“ MICKEYMICKEY NONONONO *SCREAMS* GET IT OUT! MANNIX!!!! GET IT OUT *SCREEEAAAAM* ”
I mean... Not that kind of cringe “Kyaa” but a scream from a pure traumatized from the depth of her heart.
Luckily for Sera, the gecko didn't touch her skin but fall down next to her.
“ Yo. Calm down, girl. It just a gecko.”
Mickey picks it up and throws it out of the window.
However, Mickey realized this time he had gone too far... A lot.
*Sob*....*Sob*....*Sob*....*Sob*...
“......”
“ Sera?”
*Sob* *Sob* *Sob* *Sob*...
“ Sera? You alright?”
She was sitting in the bath hugging her knees, not trying to let him see her face.
“ Hey? Sera? I don't know you'd be this scared of Gecko....”
Mickey lifted up her face...and it shocks him that he starts to feel guilty by now...
Sera tears are coming out...her eyes and nose are red... She's sobbing...
But she tried to hold it up not to let it turned into crying.
“ You're disgusting.”
A single word from Sera but enough to make him know that she's actually angry.
Sera wiped her tears out, raised, walked away from there, and rushed in Roxxy's room and locked the door.
“ Oh...shit...”
.
.
.
.
.
Three boys were sitting on the sofa, Syd Barrett is playing games on the PS4 console, Mickey is next to him.
And Toshi is next to Mickey, watching them fight.
“ Bro. I think you're going too far. I mean, I'm not siding with her, but you literally go too far you know what I'm saying?”
Toshi said to Mickey, this matter is so big that they forced Syd to pause the game. So that Mickey can talk to Toshi.
“ It doesn't go too far, man. Just a fucking Gecko. It's in everybody house bruh like”
“ Yeah. But throw it at her? You know when some motherfucker gets scared of anything, they'll really scare them shits.”
Toshi said.
“....”
Mickey didn't say anything back.
“ You know, once in Australia, I found a big fucking spider in my toilet. like in the size of my fist. That's even fuck up than a single gecko. Ain't She overreacted?”
Syd still tried to find an excuse for his friend.
“ No man. Imagine if she dressed up as a ghost and prank this Lil' pussy ass bitches while he was shitting. The result is the same.”
Toshi replied to Syd while he was pointing his finger to Mickey Mannix.
And thus, it has been revealed.
Every being must have a weak spot.
Mickey Mannix is no exception.
He is scared of “Ghost”. That's Mickey's weakness.
“ It's not the same! Ghost is something you can't explain we afraid of them cause we don't know about them... But Gecko?! It just a fucking Lizard!”
Mickey said.
“ Yes. But the consequence remains the same, is it?”
“.....”
Mickey went silent.
“... Oh shit. I really can't help you this time, dawg. It was a pure consequence of your action... I'm sorry about that.”
Syd said and back to play a game.
“.... Fuck... This is bad. We can't let this ridiculous thing happens. Or else it'll affect our mission! Bro. You need to fucking help me, Bro!”
“....”
Toshi scratched his head before he gave Mickey a suggestion.
“ Okay...so now she's sulking. Because of You. So you need to go beg her to be back with each other again... Hmm, I think you should buy her some uh, food? Maybe? Some sweet cake? That'd calm her down before you begin to talk to her. ”
“ Cake? What?!... Bro, it's 20:30 how the fuck I can find a cake shop?! And I don't even know if she really likes it! ”
“... I don't know man. It should be your problem now. Lmao.”
“ Ah, fuck... I can't believe I have to do this.”
.
.
.
.
.
Knock Knock Knock.
Jody opened the door.
“ Mickey?”
“ Uh... Jody. May I ask you something?”
“.... Yeah. Sure. Go ahead.”
By looking in the eyes, Jody knew immediately that something has happened and It was Mickey who needed to fix it. But she kept that to herself.
“... Since you are the person in our group that familiar with Sera the most... Uh--”
“ You did something to her?”
“.... WHAT… NO-Uh, I mean... Maybe? Just little ridiculous things that people like her can't take it...uh...”
“ Oh... I see... What's the matter?”
“ You know what Sera like to eat? I mean... Uh... Which type of cake? Or...”
“.....”
Needless to say, Jody knew what situation Mickey was in right now...
(... I see... So this is why Sera hasn't come back yet....)
“ She likes fruit cake. At least in my observation.”
“ Fruitcake? Ok. I got it.”
Suddenly, Mickey quickly rushed out of there.
“..... Where's she by the way?”
.
.
.
.
.
.
*Crick*
*
Not for long after Mickey disappeared, Jody heard the sound of someone coming out of the room on the other side of the area.
It's Seraphina Gilmour.
But something is off, Jody noticed that.
Sera was in the bad mood but she's trying to hide it from Jody.
She's pretending that nothing happens.
But that wasn't enough to hide it from Jody Johanson.
“....”
Sera came back, didn't speak a word before laid down on the bed scrolling her phone silently.
“.....”
Jody noticed that she still wiped out something on her face. Like a girl that just broke up with her boyfriend.
If Sera doesn't want to tell, Jody won't bother asking.
She knows it is time to leave Sera there, let her be with herself.
“ I gotta go practice with Syd... So... I'll be back...”
“ ok.”
.
.
.
.
.
On the morning of the next day.
Jody opened her eyes from a long nap last night. From the practice yesterday, she's upgrading. The growth potential of Jody's development astonished Syd Barrett very much.
He said that she'll begin to transfer objects' characteristics soon.
She turned to the left, spotted that Sera was still sleeping next to her with AirPods still hang down from her ears...
Walking down the stairs after dressed up, Jody spotted something on the dining table.
“ What the? A cake?”
Mickey Mannix was the one who's standing next to it.
Behind him were all the members. Syd, Toshi, and Sally are playing video games. Roxxy is having breakfast on the table.
Now the dots have already been connected.
“....Oh... My... Now I know what had happened yesterday...”
She said.
“ Yeah...last night I made a huge mistake. Do you think she'll forgive me, Jody?”
Mannix asked in a serious voice.
“ Chills out. Mickey. I'm sure, Sera will forgive you as soon as she saw it. But she's still not awake.”
“ Then, pardon me...”
Mickey picked up a phone and took a selfie with the gamb, he then slowly carried the cake upstairs, passing Jody straight to where Sera is still sleeping.
Jody hopes for Mickey good luck, then she walked to next to Roxxy and sat down.
“....”
Roxxy gazed at her before continued eating her cereal.
“.....”
“.......”
“........”
“...........“
“ Isn't it weird? I wonder how did Sally stick up with him so much?”
Jody opened the topic, they both staring at Syd Barrett and Sally.
“.....”
“........”
“That's his nature.”
Roxxy eats a spoon of cereal before it continues.
“ It is like this since we're kids. He has a weird charisma. Although he often behaves like as ass... But we're all happy to have him.”
Jody didn't reply.
“ Even you, yourself also comfortable when he's around. You ain't even struggle when he's pushing you down yesterday.”
“ !!!!??? ”
Jody's eyes widened a little.
“..... Don't be surprised. *Eats*... You aren't even mad when he's dissing you.”
She continued.
“ You like going around with him that sometimes you've forgotten how close you guys are ...yes? ”
“.....”
“..........”
“ Although you declined it in front of the others because you know that it will affect the mission. But I can sense it... Jody Johanson... Your advantage above us is the poker face you have. Sure You may lie to Sera... You may lie to Mickey... You even lie to Toshi...But you can't lie to me.”
And finally... Roxxy releases the climax question.
“ You like Syd. Don't you, Jody?”
“ ?!?!?!?!?!? ”
[https://i.imgur.com/jgdTtHur.jpg]
As if her body is frozen. But Jody didn't show a sign of panic or scared or embarrassed or anything... Not even a red on her cheeks.
Why?
Because she admits those feelings.
It is no use to say no to the truth.
“.... So you know it all along? ”
Jody asked his sister.
“ Yes. Since the day I met you in person.”
“.... You spectated us?”
Roxxy nods.
“ The way you look at my brother, the way your tone of voice slightly changes, the way you treat him. When you like somebody, you wouldn't realize until someone comes to tell you. The person you like is the only person that can pull another side of your personality out. Do you think that I'm too blinded to not knowing that you are slightly different when you're with him than with others?”
(... This girl... She's scary...)
Jody thought.
“ So why do you like him?”
Roxxy asked.
“......”
“... I admit that the first time, I only interested in his power and sees him as the cockiest person I've ever met in my life. But when I stayed with him long enough... I realize... Some habits of this guy are like a kid and It makes me feel comfortable to stay around observing him showing it without realizing it. I don't know how to explain but that feeling is a warmth to me than any other people in my life can give. I want to take care of him.”
(...For someone who's been in an extremely depressing situation like her...it is understandable... Syd didn't care about people's past as long as their chemistry is okay with him...)
“ Well. I'm not here to tell you to fuck off or anything. *Eats*. But soon you'll know it is extremely tough in order to get into his comfort zone.”
“.... What do you mean? ”
“ Have you ever encountered a weird scenario, recently?”
Roxxy smirks before she rises and walks away.
Leaving Jody in confusion.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Simultaneously at that time, Sera in her room slowly opened her eyes because someone has turned to lights on, and their brightness wakes her up.
“ hmmm....? ”
A blurred image of a person standing next to her bed starts to form up in a better resolution...finally, she knows who it is.
?!!!
“ Mannix?”
“......”
Glaring down, She saw that Jody is no longer here, and Mickey Mannix is carrying something in his hands.
It's her favorite food... A fruit cake.
“ !!!? ”
She's pretty shocked and confused.
“ What is this?”
She asked.
“ Uh... Yesterday I'm kinda go too far for throwing a gecko at you... I uh... Don't know you'd be that scared...and make you cry like...man... I'm sorry... I hope this can help you get better...”
Mickey is a little bit shy to say. However, he hands over it to her.
“... You're such a weirdo... You wake me up in the morning just to have this?”
“ uh... Yeah? What's wrong with that?”
“......”
“......”
“ sigh...nothing... I'll have it later. I'm not hungry...”
She shook her head.
“.... Wait a minute...”
Sera paused.
“.... Where did you go get this? It's still in the morning...the shop doesn't open yet?”
“ yesterday. I go look for it all over the city through underground cables.”
“ Just to buy me this?!”
Sera is pretty shocked.
“.... Uh... I heard foods can get the woman out of anger so...”
“......”
Sera picked up the syrup topping fruits and ate it.
*chew* *chew* *chew* *chew*....
( Bloody hell... I haven't brushed my teeth yet...) She thought.
She picked another one.
“........”
*chew* *chew* *chew* *chew*
“ Sera?”

“ Sera?”
*chew* *chew* *chew* *chew*
“ SERA???”
“ !?”
“ We're happy?”
“.....”
Sera's face turns a bit red on the cheeks...before she said in a low voice.
“ Just don't fucking do that again...”
She said in a shy voice, but that's a sign that she's forgiven him.
Mickey is incredibly relieved.
“ YES! ”
(... Tch... I should hold it a day longer...but the food is my weakness... How dis he know...god damn it! )
Sera thought while her mouth is chewing.
“ Then....”
Mickey took the cake away from her.
“ We have to go to the airport now. The mission already begins. You may have it while we're going back to England.”
“.....”
Displeased, but understandable, Sera got out of the bed and followed him out of the room.
“ Oh, by the way, Sera. Check out this photo...”
Mickey handed her a group selfie he had taken.

“ Why it doesn't have me?”
“ Oh, of course, it has. But you're sleepy ass bitch. So here.”
