After the punks regained their consciousness, I thought it would be better to bring them to Keto instead of asking them what they're trying to do. They might fight back again and escape.
"I'm here." I announced, dragging the three idiots behind me.
"That was fast, so report what you…" Keto and Ash were suddenly dumbfounded when they noticed the guys behind my back.
"YOU IDIOT! WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Ash looked so stressed out while Keto just started laughing hysterically. "This is just hilarious man! Hahahaha!"
"U-Uhmm." I wasn't sure what's going on, so I just waited until they calmed down.
"This isn't funny, Keto. You what this means."
"But man! Who knew Lyde was a blockhead?! Damn it, hahaha!"
"Stop enjoying this!" It was shocking how Ash hits Keto on the head without a problem, though it didn't seem to affect Keto that much since he was still laughing about the situation. When Ash turns to me, he looked really pissed off. "You know what? You really take after your boss." He grabs me on the collar and pulled me over.
"E-Erm…"
"You don't know what it means to beat up members from a different gang, don't you?"
I slowly nodded as an answer.
"It means you're looking for another gang war, you fucking idiot!"
"ANOTHER GANG WAR!?" But the fight with the Exitium is still pending! If this result to another gang war, then I'm totally doomed at this point.
"I don't mind another gang war though." Keto stated.
"Shut up, Keto!" We told him in unison, and he's gone back to laughing. He was really enjoying this. While Ash was giving me lectures, I noticed how the three were slowly trying to get out of the scene. "Hey! Don't even think of escaping!" That's when Keto and Ash noticed them too.
"Right, I almost forgot about this."
"Next time don't do anything stupid again, Lyde." The two squad leaders decided to finally confront the three idiots. And it turns out that the two reapers were trying to convert Walker to become a part of Reapers.
"There's no way I'll quit Wild Beasts! So give it up guys, no one can change my mind."
"Walker!…"
Keto chuckles as he got in between Walker and the other two. "That's it for the two of you, if the guy said no then be on your way out here."
"Hold on, I'm not going to let them go just yet." Ash interfered. The two reapers were quite frightened by the sight of a pissed Ash infront of them. Despite acting nice most of the time, Ash is just as terrifying like the other squad leaders. "If I ever hear about a gang war rising between our groups, I'll make sure to hunt both of you down and beat the hell out of you."
"Ah! W-We won't say a word about this, we promise!"
"And don't even think of coming back here!" When Ash chased them away, Keto stands by my side while patting my back. "You did good, Lyde. You did good. I have high expectations of you as my right hand from now on."
Not that I'm going to stay in this gang for long but… "T-Thanks." It feels nice being complimented from time to time.
"Don't act so proud, Keto! That was seriously dangerous since we still have to deal with the Exitiums." The way Ash glares at me gave me chills. I hid behind Keto for a strong shield, and made Keto go laughing again. "I'm really sorry! P-Please have mercy on me!!"
I badly wanted to complain about my ignorance on these kind of things. How the hell would I know that beating delinquents from other groups can result to a gang war? I was never a delinquent to begin with, and now I'm hanging around with a bunch of 'em because a certain bastard forced me to.
"If you ever do it again, I swear I'll—" Before Ash could reach me, Keto slapped his hand away.
"Oi, I'm the only one who's allowed to do what I want with Lyde. Got that?" I appreciate the way he saved me from Ash but I can't agree with him saying that he can do whatever he wants with me. I'm not some tool you psychotic bastard!
Ash sighed exasperatedly and walks out on us. "Fine, make sure to teach him things before he can do anything stupid again."
"Yeah, I will." Keto looks at me and smirks cheekily. I'm getting a bad feeling again. "Now, now! Let's get going, Lyde! We've got lots of places to hang out for today!"
"E-Eh? Where are we going?"
"To a brothel." What the actually fuck?!
"WHAT!? I CAN'T!–" I'm a woman!
"Hahahaha! I was just kidding, let's just get something good to eat. I'm kinda hungry with all the thinking." Geez, this bastard is so unbelievable. I wish I can switch places with Lyde right now.
