"Welcome to the squad, Shi-kun! I'm Azumi Yamamoto." A girl with a violet hair and eyes who's wearing a gun holster smiled at me. She's standing near the window.
"Welcome. I'm Yuma Satori." The guy is sitting at the couch and reading a book, with ash gray hair that slightly pushed upwards that made his forehead more visible. He didn't even bother to glance at me.
"Oi oi oi! I'm a senpai now! Hi, Shi-chan! I'm Aimi Tanaka!" The girl with a red hair keeps on clapping her hands but there's something on her appearance that really caught my attention. It was her eyes. Her eyes.. it was hidden under the bandage that wrapped around it.
"I can see how shock you are because of the bandages.." she then laughed so hard. It made me feel like she's Toya's sister because they both give me these chills like I have met a psychopath. She even showed her tongue that made me notice her piercing at the middle part of it. "Well, my eyes are special so it's too dangerous to look at."
A boy suddenly clung on her arms. "Aimi, don't scare him!" he then looked at me and he winked. "I'm Reo Yamomoto." I suddenly realized that he and Azumi are siblings, just by looking at their appearance you'd immediately notice. With their hair, smile, and the shape of their faces. The only difference you'd notice between them were their eyes. Azumi has violet eyes while Reo has golden pair.
When we left Mika-san's office, Toya dragged me here in their office or should I say, dormitory. I thought we'd go back to the car and go to other place but we ended up in here, in front of these not normal guys.
"Do you ever wonder what human's flesh taste like?"
"You're gross, Aimi. Shut your mouth."
"I'm just curious--"
"And we're not."
"You're just a killjoy, Yuma. I'm just really curious--"
"Eat yourself then, easy."
My eyes widened. I don't know how many times I gulped while starring at them. I couldn't even turn my head to face them. It's really like I'm the only one who's normal in here. Aside from Aimi and Yuma that's currently arguing about some gross things, some of the members were fighting each other. I feel like I would die anytime.
'Maybe it's even more better if I didn't accepted their offer.'
"What do you think? Are you pleased that you are now part of our squad?" Toya is sitting beside me, I could feel her intense stare but I didn't bothered to glance at her.
I want to answer her question with a big no but I realized that Mika-san left me in her care so obviously, Toya's above me so I need to pay respect.. even a little.
"By the way, Shi-kun!"
"Yes?" I immediately turned my head to face Azumi. She was in a serious fight with Reo a while ago but now she's just chilling beside him, they're both leaning against the bookshelves, unharmed.
"Do you have any weapon right now?" she smiled sweetly.
I licked my lower lip.
'What weapon?!'
Now I realized that they're all holding their weapons, except for me. I am sitting here all this time, empty handed. Azumi with her gun, Reo with his katana, Aimi with her knives, Yuma with his.. uh I actually don't know what is it but it's a small ball or more like a pearl and it look like he's holding the galaxy( I'm quite amazed), lastly.. Toya with her black katana. They all look badass while I'm a lost kitten that was found in an abandoned building.
What a great team.
"I guess you don't have any but that's okay, you're just new after all," she shrugged her shoulders and stood up. The innocent Reo who's peacefully sleeping on her shoulder fell on the cold ground and bumped his head.
'OW'
I feel bad for him but his sister doesn't even care.
Azumi ran towards me and wrapped her arms on my shoulder, smirking.
"Where do you think you're going?" Toya raised her brows.
Azumi winked, "We'll get his weapon! Bye~"
I feel like my body would get crashed the moment she dragged me out of the room, I'm much taller than her but when it comes to strength she can easily break my bones if she wants to so I don't have any choice but to adjust my height for her to freely grab my shoulder. This is torture.
We're walking through the hallway that's surrounded with glasses, it's all glasses even the floor the we're stepping to so we can clearly see the people below us and outside.
'I wonder how much did it cost just with these glasses, I bet I could live peacefully without working my ass off all day and night in a year.'
We turned to the left side and stopped in front of a glass door. It's made of glass but I can't see what's happening inside because the glass were blurry.
"Where are we?" I started to laugh to ease my nervousness but I stopped when Azumi's smile faded away.
'Uh-oh, this is awkward.'
Without saying a word or even knocking, we entered the room.
"Welcome to the lab!" her smile become visible again.
That's a relief--
"LOOK OUT!"
And before we even knew it, a hard ball hits my face.. badly. It was like someone slapped me 10 times in a row. It's not an ordinary ball that you can throw anytime!
A boy who's wearing a thick glasses appeared before our eyes. He's wearing a lab coat and he's literally a.. boy! A kid!
'What is he doing here? Is he the son of someone who's working in here?'
"I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"
With my annoyed face, I glared at him. Other than my face hurts like hell, his tone while asking was just calm and he sounds like he's not even sorry!
Tss. What's wrong with these people..
"Luis-chan~"
Instead of helping me out or asking if I'm okay, Azumi clung in the kid's arms! All I could do was shrugged my shoulders and checked my face if there's somewhere that's bleeding.
'I was lucky,' I thought when I felt that nothing's wrong.
"You're so cute! As usual!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes! Can I pinch your cheeks?"
"Why though?"
"I'm one of your sisters, right--"
"No."
I couldn't help myself from making a weird face while watching Azumi, I never thought that she would act like this in front of a kid.
"So what now?" He cut what Azumi was about to say.
From a playful smile, Azumi's face hardened. It's like she's not the weirdo girl a while ago.
"We need a weapon for him," she then pointed me.
The boy eyed me from head to toe. He 'tsked' and cleared his throat, "Does he even know how to use a gun?"
Azumi giggled before she shook her head, "Of course not! It's understandable since he's just new to these kind of stuffs so don't be like that."
He let out a disappointed sigh, "Train him first, he doesn't deserve a weapon right now.."
I clenched a fist, "Who are you to say that?"
He's facing Azumi but he slowly turned to me because of my question. He then showed me his annoying smirk, "I'm Luis Yamamoto, head of the Science and Technology Department. Nice to meet you, weak hunter"
Huh?
"W-WHAT--"
I was cut off by the sudden action of Azumi. She trapped me in her arms and pulled me out from the room. She didn't even said goodbye to Luis. She's--We are in a hurry.
"Why did you do that?" I calmly asked.
She showed me her watch, it's blinking, it's red.
"There's an emergency meeting."
My face went poker-face, "Why? What happened?"
She giggled and next thing I knew.. bloodlust flashed through her eyes, "Mission. It's killing time."
