"So! What's the thing that we should buy?" Hector asked, cheerfully leaned his face close to Theresa. "Uhm. Food supply, maybe?" Theresa guess, since Chiharu didn't tell a thing before they departed here. "Got 'em!" Hector and Arkus said in unison, excited when it comes to food. "Since we're not familiar with this town district. Why don't we ask around first?" Theresa said, doesn't want to get lost in the town. "Sure!" Hector said, immediately agreed.
"This goes here, the blue wires with the blue wires…And done. See? It's easy. You just need to control your temper." Zeolite said, showing her how he do it. "Now shoo! I don't need your help again!" Chiharu said, shooing him away by waving her hands up and down. "Jeez, so rude. Say 'thank you' at least." Zeolite groaned, getting annoyed by Chiharu's rude personality, while walking near the door.
"Ugh! Fine!" She yelled, unable to hold Zeolite's comments anymore. "Say it." Zeolite said, waiting for her to say thank you. "Ugh…T-Thank you…" She said quietly, while blushing in embarrassment, her hands clutching onto her skirt. "What? Pardon?" Zeolite asked, since he cannot hear her properly. "Argh! Thank you! Now get out!" She yelled, irritated, her face were flushed, steam comes out from her ears.
Zeolite immediately got out and shut the door, since he don't want things to thrown at him. "I didn't know there's woman like her…Perhaps, she's some other kind of woman?" He said to himself, thinking hard, until someone called his name.
"Zeolite! Can you help for a bit?" Celine asked, approaching him. "With what?" He asked back. "Well. Ashley's acting kinda weird…" Celine said, carefully choose the words she's using. "Aren't she's already weird?" Zeolite raised one of his brows, "No, no. Just look." Celine said grabbing his wrist and dragged him outside the plane. "Look at her!" Celine said, pointing to Ashley who lay flat on the ground, looks dead. "She's dead." Zeolite joked, "Don't say that!" Celine yelled, scolding him.
Zeolite walked near Ashley, observing her conditions. "She's hungry." He said, looking back at Celine. "Then give her food!" Celine said, already panicked about Ashley's conditions. "We don't have any food supply left, it's already dried." Zeolite said, since he come to check the food supply before and find nothing other than plastic bag with holes in it.
"Ugh…That was embarrassing…" Chiharu uttered under her breath, leaning on her seat, while covering her flushed face. Her embarrassed moments was interrupted when the communications beeping with red lights. Chiharu quickly reached for her headphone and wear it. "Hello? Father?" She asked, shaking her embarrassment away.
"Chiharu! Is something happened yesterday? Why are you at the same place since yesterday? Did you crashed? Oh dear! Skylark- I mean, Chiharu! Are you okay? No wounds? Please tell me you're okay!" Dr. Nicholas said, panicked over both Skylark 2.0 and Chiharu. "I'm fine. Skylark didn't crash fortunately, thanks to that ice user. We're just running out of food supply and is forced to stop by." Chiharu said, telling him the current situations. "Good grief! My Skylark is okay!" Dr. Nicholas happily said, happy that nothing happened to his Skylark.
And when Chiharu heard his happy noises, she gulped, looking at the empty glass frame in front of her. "Uh…" A noise slipped out from her mouth. "What's wrong Chiharu? Did something happened to Skylark?!" He shouted, panicked. "Uhm, not really…Nothing much happened…" She said quietly, doesn't know what to delivers to him.
"Excuse me! Did you have any food to go?" Hector asked, poking his head in an inconvenience store. "Huh? Food to go? Of course! You come at the right store!" The owner said, welcoming him energetically. "Neat!" Hector cheered and followed the owner, with Theresa following behind him.
The owner is an old granny, her hair is white as snow as she keep it short, wrinkles on her exposed skin and face, she wears a loose gray coat that hang a bit on the floor, she use also a staff to help her walk, as her body is slightly bended due to old age.
"There's not much traveler, where are you two from?" The owner kindly asked, while leading them in. "Us? Kenryoku!" Hector cheerfully answered her, "Kenryoku? That's awfully far from here! Have you got enough rest? If not, you can rest in the inn!" The owner turns around and slightly worried about them. "Ah, we got enough rest last night! Thanks for your concerns! We appreciated it!" Hector grinned, his cheerful persona emitted from him.
The owner stopped walking and stared at him for a while, caressing her chin. "Um…Is there's something on my face?" Hector asked, tilting his head, as Arkus mimicked him. "What a fine young man!" The owner suddenly yelled, surprising both Hector and Theresa. "Ah…Is that so?" Hector asked, chuckled gently at her sudden compliments.
"Your legs are in shape!" She said, suddenly touched Hector's legs. "Uwaa! Y-You shouldn't do that!" Hector yelped, getting uncomfortable. But the owner didn't stop and just went to touch Hector's stomach. "Hey! Uh, can you stop? It's making me uncomfortable!" Hector said, trying not to talk harsh. The owner stopped when she touched Hector's toned stomach through his clothes.
Meanwhile with Theresa, she tried not to hate the owner, again, tried. She already had a pissed expressions plastered on her face, but of course, she covered it with a pissed smile, still pissed whatsoever.
The owner fake cough and called someone's name, "Erika! Come here! I found someone you might like!" Hector flinched when she said, "someone you might like" Then shortly, a girl with black hair and amber eyes comes in from the door behind the owner.
"What is it, granny?" She asked, looking down at her. "I have found the perfect match for you!" The owner said, happily and pointed at Hector, who had fears plastered on his face. "Really? I hope it's not another farmer-" She was cut off when her eyes locked with Hector's terrified ones. "Oh my god! Granny! Where did you find him? He's perfect!" The girl named Erika said, squealing happily. "Look at him! Handsome, had a perfect build and even is well-mannered!" The owner said, telling her a bit about him. "Really?! That's perfect!" Erika said, fangirling.
"He's yours!" The owner freely stated, without Hector's approves. "Aww, thanks, granny!" Erika said happily and cheerfully skip to Hector, while Hector had both terrified and confused shown on his face, while Arkus looks awfully disgusted, until they both feels murderous aura behind them.
"Dear~!" Erika said, suddenly calling him dear, like they have do some relationship or something, and in reality, they have just meet. As she get closed each seconds, getting closer to come contact with Hector, until Theresa got in front of him, stopping Erika in place.
"Who are you? Step out of the way! Can't you see I'm trying to hug my fiancé?" Erika said, annoyed and calls Hector her fiancé. Theresa raised her head and gives her a pissed smile. "Got through me first, b*tch." She said, clearly pissed, unable to hold back her emotions. Both the owner and Erika gasped in surprised, "She says the forbidden words!" The two shouted, "Pfft, amateurs." Theresa scoffed, "She scoffed!" The owner yelled, shocked by Theresa's manner.
"And what if I am, old hag?" Theresa asked, completely done with them. "She calls me old hag! Oh my god! What kind of woman are you?!" The owner said, cannot believe there's a woman like her. "Oh, c'mon. What kind of sh*t you talkin' 'bout?" Theresa asked, completely losing her sh*t. "What kind of woman are you?! Woman are not supposed to be like you!!!" The owner yelled, pointing at Theresa.
"That one kind above you." Theresa replied, roasting her. The owner gasped in shock, "How dare you?!" She yelled. "Erika! Grab your men! She's about to steal him!" She said to Erika, "Of course granny!" Erika obeyed and walk forward. "Oh, you're approaching me?" Theresa asked, fire began to crackled out from her body.
"I won't lost to a terrible mannered woman like you!" Erika yelled, still trying to get Hector. "You won't dare." Theresa scoffed, crossing her arms. "I will release my handsome, well-mannered king from you!" Erika yelled with confident. After she said those, Hector got an idea, 'Well-mannered? Then…to destroy her image of me…I should do something perverted?' He thoughts, thinking hard about it, but it can be a bad idea…
"I'm sorry but, can you releases some erotic noises?" Hector whispered near Theresa's ear, Theresa flinched and blushed crept onto her cheeks, dusting her cheeks red. "Please do it in when I counted down from 3." He whispered once again, sending chills down Theresa's spine, since she's not used by someone whispering near her ears, especially Hector, and the racing heartbeat in her chest is making it worst!!!
Erika tilted her head in confusion, what is her dear 'fiancé' doing near a girl that is unknown to her. "Hey! What are you doing, dear?!" She shouted, but Hector doesn't give a damn about her and just rest his chin on Theresa's shoulder.
He adjusted his hand near Theresa's butt, so it would look like he's grabbing her butt from the owner and Erika's perspectives, of course, he doesn't dare to grabs her butt, he might feel extremely uncomfortable if he does them and he don't want to feel awkward around her, this is just for the sakes to save both their asses.
"…1." He finished countdown and shut his eyes closed, cannot believe what he makes Theresa to do. "Nghh~" Theresa quietly moaned, her cheeks were dusted red, she cannot believe what she does herself. While Arkus stood proud on Hector's right shoulder, perverted looks on his face, proud of his Master's request.
The owner and Erika had their jaws dropped, they cannot believe what they heard and cannot believe what Hector done. "He's a pervert! Not good at all! Get out from my store!!!" The owner shouted, angrily grabbed a chair near her, threatening them to get out or she'll throw it at them.
"Our time!" Hector said and grabbed Theresa's wrist, dragging her away from the store, and when they were away from the store, the two panted, both from embarrassed and exhausted. "I'm sorry! I really, really sorry!" Hector shouted, bowing vigorously, asking for forgiveness from her. Theresa still looked flushed, with her right hand covering her mouth, her eyes averting him. "I-It's okay…It was for the sakes for us to escape…" She stuttered quietly. "At least! Let me do you a favor! Name me the things!" Hector said, grabbing both her hands, squeezing it lightly.
Theresa flinched in surprises, surprised by his sudden act. "Uh…just…uhm…can we…hold hands…sometimes…?" She asked quietly, blushing in embarrassment. And because of her shy and quiet voices, it's somehow makes Hector blushing as well. "Well, if it's your request, then I shall fully serves it!" Hector said energetically, getting away from his awkwardness and went fully charming prince mode.
