"Ah, I see." [Roy]
After finishing listening to Felix's story, Roy nodded his head.
"Okay. I got it. And Dante's location is…?" [Roy]
Trailing off his words, Roy stared at Toban.
"I'm not saying." [Toban]
"I'll break your limbs." [Roy]
"...What?" [Toban]
He glanced nervously at the people around him, but they acted as if such a thing was normal.
"Y-you can't be serious." [Toban]
"He'll do it." [Felix]
"I'll do it over and over again." [Roy]
"I don't see how that's possi-" [Toban]
"Roy can heal people. It's fully within reason." [Felix]
Beads of sweat trickled down Toban's face as he imagined the pain.
"Not telling? Don't mind if I do." [Roy]
"W-wait! I'll tell you!" [Toban]
Just as Roy was about to approach him, Toban surrendered.
"We were supposed to meet at the hideout after I got the boosters, but uh…" [Toban]
"We came in?" [Adam]
"Yeah, that. It should be behind the old church grounds." [Toban]
"The old church grounds?" [Adam]
"Yeah. You know, the abandoned one? Like, the one with rumors about ghosts?" [Toban]
Adam put his hands up and stepped back after hearing that.
"Hell nah. Ghosts? Nope. I'm out." [Adam]
"Are you serious, Adam?" [Orion]
"Wait a minute… This one, right?" [Roy]
Pulling out his phone, Roy displayed an image of a run down church. It had vines growing all over it, and the greenery around had withered, giving it an eerie atmosphere.
"Yeah, that's the one." [Toban]
Adam sighed.
"Why do you guys want to go there? There's like a billion other places you can choose from!" [Adam]
"I don't make the rules." [Toban]
Adam looked to be on the verge of tears, but he managed not to let a single one out.
"Hey, I'll be there if it makes you feel better." [Roy]
"...What?" [Adam]
"Who said you're coming?" [Felix]
"Wait, am I not invited?" [Roy]
Placing a hand on his chest, Roy looked at them in disbelief.
"No? Why would you be invited?" [Felix]
"Really? I could've sworn I was." [Roy]
"Well you heard wrong." [Felix]
"Ouch… Pretty hurtful to my feelings there." [Roy]
"Just heal it back up. You that one title, right? "Immortal", was it?" [Felix]
"Haha, very funny." [Roy]
Laughing sarcastically, Roy headed for the door.
"Since I'm not invited, I guess you guys don't need a ride." [Roy]
"...What do you mean by that?" [Felix]
"My car's parked up front. Aaand the church is pretty far… If you get my drift." [Roy]
"We don't need your ca-" [Felix]
"Wait." [Orion]
Raising a hand, he cut Felix off.
"What car is it?" [Orion]
"A Trace-72A01. Want in?" [Roy]
Without hesitation, Orion went over to Roy's side.
"Sorry Felix, but I'm going with this guy." [Orion]
"...You can't be serious." [Felix]
Orion shook his head at Felix.
"YOU can't be serious. The Trace series is a fan favorite. Not to mention the Trace-72A01. It's so special that you can't even get it normally. You'd literally have to wait in a queue for YEARS to get it." [Orion]
Felix was taken aback. Never had he seen Orion so knowledgeable in a subject seeing as how laid back in class he was.
"Really? Then I'm coming too." [Adam]
"Adam?! You're taking HIS side?!" [Felix]
"No offense, but Orion really sold me on it." [Adam]
There were no words for Felix to say. He had to agree with Adam there.
"Fine. I'll come too I guess…" [Felix]
Felix started walking to the door, but he found himself stopping in his tracks by Roy's hand.
"Who said you were invited?" [Roy]
"...You are not doing this right now." [Felix]
"Nah nah. I want an apology for it." [Roy]
Felix rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Okay. I'm sorry. Can we go now?" [Felix]
"Nope." [Roy]
"Bruh. I literally just said I'm sorry." [Felix]
Roy shook his head.
"You didn't say it sincerely." [Roy]
"You can't be serious." [Felix]
"This is my serious face." [Roy]
Waving his hands around his face, Roy looked Felix dead in the eyes.
"You're serious face looks stupid." [Felix]
"Felix, come on bro." [Adam]
"Yeah. Dante's not gonna beat himself up." [Orion]
"...Fine." [Felix]
Getting on his hands and knees, Felix lowered his head to the floor.
"I am greatly sorry for my terrible behavior and attitude towards you. Please accept my humble apology." [Felix]
"Apology accepted." [Roy]
Seeing as how Roy was satisfied, Felix let out a sigh of relief.
"Heh. Hehehe…" [Roy]
("The hell is he giggling at?") [Felix]
As he looked up from the ground, it dawned on him.
"You…!" [Felix]
Roy stood there with his phone out, wearing a smug look as he chuckled.
"Are you taking pictures…?!" [Felix]
"Nope. It's a recording." [Roy]
After hearing that, Felix pounced at the phone.
"Gimme that!" [Felix]
"Ah- hey! If you act like this you're not going to be allowed to come!" [Roy]
Those words forced Felix to hold himself back, causing him to clench his fist in frustration.
"Alright. I had enough fun with you. Let's go guys." [Roy]
As they left the house, Felix had only one thought in his head.
("I fucking hate him.") [Felix]
