" You must be here to meet Ben, right?" Someone asked this while Conan was waiting for Ben outside the Bakery. Conan was surprised because it was someone he wished he never had to meet again.
" What the hell are you doing here?" He asked being a little surprised.
" I was told by your friend that I can find you here," Yelena answered, she leaned forward towards Conan and looked towards his bike. " That is a very costly bike, where did you get it?"
" I got that after winning a bet." He replied and then asked, " You were looking for me, why? Need I remind you that I will not hesitate to kill you if you try something funny like that electric shock on me ever again."
" I have something to request from you." Before she could say anything else she had already gotten a reply from Conan.
" I can't give you my daggers," He said.
" I don't need that I want you," She said in a while tapping on his chest with his fingers.
At first, Conan did not react to this but suddenly he misunderstood the words and slapped her hand away. " What the hell are you saying?"
" I said, I want you, not your daggers."
" I heard that, what the hell do you mean by that?" Conan asked.
" Oh, I think you misunderstood. I am sorry for being vague but you didn't let me complete my sentence." She clarified and then added, " I want you to travel with me. I got all of the details from your friend and he told me you will be leaving in six months. I am okay with it as it would also take me a little more time to leave the guard force here."
" Why?" Conan showed an irritated face.
" Because you are strong and I am strong too, we will be safer outside from the outsiders," Yelena explained her reason.
Finally Ben came to the meeting spot, and before Conan could reply he came running.
" I am ready." Ben came down wearing a white t-shirt and trousers.
" Don't you have something to explain to me first?"
" Oh, you mean her?" Ben quickly figured it out. " Just tell her what you told me, is that a difficult thing to do?"
" Madam Yelena, my friend Conan doesn't like to travel with someone. Even if it's me who is a friend, he will never travel with them."
" Hmmm! Why is that the case? Does he do something illegal that he doesn't want others to follow him and discover something about it?" Yelena said making Conan snort in reply and argue with her more.
' My plan's working, You are the only one who can help me make Conan agree to take me with himself.' Ben laughed in his mind while keeping a poker face on the outside, listening to the argument between the two.
" We will begin with making you lose weight," Conan said.
" I thought so, but I seem to never be able to do this." Ben's shoulder dropped.
" I think the problem is this, right?" Conan pointed towards his uncle's shop.
" I will go talk to him about this, you wait here." Conan went inside the bakery and left Ben and Yelena alone.
" He is so impudent," Yelena said to ben, " How are you two even friends?"
" He is a good guy, he saved my life and since then we are friends."
" No, I mean how did he agree to even be your friend, he seems to prefer being alone."
" You may think that but he is also like all of us, everybody needs someone in their life as a friend or family. It was easy for both of us because both of us were similar when it comes to friends, we didn't have any."
After hearing Ben's words, Yelena remembered the friendship between her and Dino who also had a similar case. Dino and Yelena were both considered special cases and were kept away from others. Since they could not be friends with others, they had to get along with each other.
" You may be right Ben, By the way, do you mind if I also train you in Combat." Yelena offered.
" Really! That would be amazing." Ben sounded excited about two different reasons, first, it was because someone as beautiful as Yelena would teach him and second, he could use her to convince Conan. He never thought that he would regret this decision.
-----
-:2 hours later:-
A boy was running on the streets of the city while everyone was looking, behind him two people, one boy and one girl were riding on the bike slowly.
*Huff!* *Huff*
The face of the boy was completely red and he sweat like crazy while breathing heavily.
" Wow, this is fun to train," Yelena said as she rang the horn of the bike from the back when Ben slowed down.
" Hey, I am the only one who can do this."
" You have been doing this since we started, I have just cheered for him."
" Screw You Maniacs! You have been getting along over punishing me like this, when are we going to take a break." Ben shouted while running.
" He hasn't even run properly since we began and already hoping to get a break."
" Yeah, Keep running or I will run my bike over you," Conan said and brought his bike right behind Ben making him run a little faster.
There were teardrops and not the sweat that was coming out from Ben's eyes. His lungs felt like they were about to burst, he had reached his limit and now he didn't even have the strength to speak. Just a few minutes after, he fell to the ground and started to puke.
Conan stopped his bike before it could hit him and walked toward Ben and opened the water bottle to splash over.
" Waha!" Ben Breathed with his mouth open.
" We will take a break for 20 minutes and then you will run again."
" You are a jerk." Ben cursed.
Yelena chuckled seeing Ben in this state, " Ben, Drink this. It's an energy drink, it will help you run and get more energy for the next round." She said while wiping the sweat using a towel. It was a sweet gesture that made Ben more proud of his decision to get her involved.
But the next second Yelena took out, a posture corrector and some weight straps.
" Wear this but before that wipe the sweat off your body thoroughly." She left Ben to wipe his own body near his chest area.
Ben's reaction of gratefulness changed into shock, and she looked toward Yelena who gave her a look that everything was normal. ' She is worse than Conan, Devil.' His face looked like he was about to burst into tears and regretted his decision to involve Yelena.
The weight straps were heavy each of them was 500 grams. There were four of them for each of his limbs, and the posture corrector barely fit his chest.
Conan was looking at his watch, it took Ben twenty minutes to wear all of that even with Yelena's help.
" Time's Up! Ready!"
