Part 17
The poisonous needle sting flew in the direction of Mao and it pierced Maxine's back.
"Ouchhh!" she shouted. It didn't really hurt but of course she had to be overacting so that Mao would worry about her.
"What happened? Are you okay?" the man asked.
"It's like something pierced my back, it hurts and I feel like I'm going to die," Maxine answered, slowly losing her energy.
Mao looked at her back and saw a red rash on it as if she had just been bitten by an insect. "Maybe an ant bit you in the back. Stop wearing backless because you're not inside the bar."
"But I'm going to die. Aren't you even worried about me?" asked Maxine.
"Max, no one dies from an ant bite. You're just too exaggerated," Mao replied.
Maxine looked at Yurena who was standing far away and smiling, she even waved at them. "Maybe she's bewitching me," she added, pointing at Yurena.
Mao scratched his head. "Tsk, who? Yurena? She's just weird but she's not a witch."
