The following day, Violet woke up quite finding herself alone on the bed. She strolled across the room and looked outside the window. But she finds the entire village on fire! Along the street was; a massive tank, blowing up anything in its path. The "Black Tiger", was resurrected!
She was still half asleep, so she rubbed her eyes. When she reopened them, all she saw was the bright sun peeping through the roofs of neighboring houses. Along the street was normal people walking and biking along, "I was having hallucinations... " she said to herself.
When she fixed the bedsheets, she quite remembered certain events last night. Then she blushed and giggled to herself. She went downstairs, to find breakfast served on the table, "Good morning Madam!" Mrs. Lockwood greeted her
"Uhm... Where's Parker?"
"Oh, I was just about to ask you, Madam. Didn't he tell you?"
"No, I was alone in the bedroom when I woke up... "
"Anyways, he left a letter to me saying, to make your favorite sausages."
"I see... " Violet smiled
"The Master seems to love you a lot, Madam!"
"Oh, he does... " she blushed
A while later, Parker returned holding an envelope in his hands and gave it to Violet, "What's this...?" she asked
"Take a look."
Violet opened the mail, and inside was a paper with H University's emblem and logo. When she opened it, she couldn't believe her eyes, "T-This is... "
"You are now an official student of H University. I sort of took care of everything, and all you have to do is to go to school." Parker said
"Parker... You... " nothing did she know, tears are uncontrollably flowing from her eyes, "Oh, thank you!" she said as threw herself in his arms.
"And that's why... " Mrs. Lockwood suddenly said
"Huh?".
"... I made all your favorites, Madam!" Then she presented Violet's favorite dishes and served them on the table
"Mrs. Lockwood... So you know all along?"
"Of course! But why would I spoil the surprise?"
Then suddenly, the door bursted open, "And don't forget the cakes!" Ryker said holding a bag of Violet's favorite mocha flavors
"Don't you know how to knock?!" Parker growled
"Haha, my bad... "
Parker noticed the cake's packaging. It was from the same coffee shop he used to hate, "You bought those from there again?!"
"Uh yeah, but they already got a new barista though... He was way better from the one before, so I gave it a shot, and vóila! They're now the best coffee shop in town!"
The four of them sat around the table and feasted over Mrs. Lockwood's cooking, and the cakes Ryker bought, "I hate to admit it but, these cakes are great!" Parker said
"Haha, told 'ya brother... "
"I'm gonna kill you, Otto!"
"Oh, come on you'll like it here. This coffee shop became popular because of me! We're short on waiters though, so I told them you'll do!"
"And you did so without telling me?!"
"Don't be so cold. Today's market is on the rise because of the war, so our money will run out easily. So, having a job wouldn't be so bad, after all you've got nothing to do back home."
"Damn you... " Peter thought
"Anyways, call me Wilson here at work. You mustn't forget who we really are. After all, we-no, you murdered many of their people." Otto whispered
"I understand... " he replied
Peter used the name Scott to hide his identity too. After a few questions, Peter was given his uniform and was told to immediately get to work the next day. But suddenly, he insisted to go to work the same day, "Are you sure of it?" the owner asked
"Yes, give me some time. I'll head home first to get changed, then I'll return as soon as possible. "
"Well, do I have a choice if you insist? Just don't push yourself too much... " the old lady owner was kind
After an hour, Peter returned. The coffee shop was also known for having the best-looking waiters in the place. But when Peter entered the scene, he immediately took the spotlight, and out shined the other waiters. Despite having a bad aura, he was devilishly handsome!
What made the owner happier, was his nearly perfect abilities as a waiter, "Where'd he he learned those? He seems inexperienced yet he did it very well... " she asked "Wilson"
"Oh, my brother you mean? Nowhere. He just used to be our waiter back home... "
"So you're his brother... Mmm... I see" Peter did everything as flawless as he could, but his only flaw, is he never smiled. And those red cold eyes of his are quite scary, though they don't seem to bother the customers and the young girls sticking around the shop just to watch him.
By the end of the day, the owner was so glad, that she gave everyone a double pay, "Thanks for your efforts, this coffee shop has risen from nothing to the top! " she said to everyone of them, but she was referring to Peter and Otto
When they got home, Otto praised Peter, "Dang...! You stole my spotlight outta there! "
"I don't want it... " he coldly said
"Cheer up you cold-blooded pretty pants! " he teased
"What did you say? " Peter's aura became murderous again
"N-Nothing! Nothing of the sort! "
As they got home, Peter sat on the sofa as Otto went to cook something to eat, "Oi, Peter... You seem out of it? "
"Hmm... I wonder if she's fine right now... I mean, has she eaten already? Is she in pain? Is that American, caring for her? "
"Mmm... You developed hatred towards her, yet you're still worried about her? Must I remind you, like you said, there's already an American caring for her, and she's with. " Otto said
"I know, I know. She is just a little sister to me now... " he replied
"Little sister my ass... " Otto thought
"How about I kick your ass...? " Peter suddenly said
"Damn it... "
