Eryx came up with a plan which was to follow my agency's orders and help the criminal in any way.
"You sure you want no harm to people?"
"Yea, why ask?"
"I mean, pffff, look at you"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"
"Why do you do this if you didn't want to get involved?"
"That's the problem. I don't want to, but my parents insisted."
"Oh?"
"I have to earn my own money. They say that this is a way I'll learn how to finance. Even before the society came for me, they talked about me getting a job. I find no trouble, however, the fact that people will treat me differently in public workplaces just because I am from a great family with a name. Fortunately, I don't get that from you nor the members of my work."
"I've always thought of you as a spoiled rich kid, and yes, I can see the difference between you and the other students with teachers and juniors."
We ordered more snacks and talked over it while the time passed.
"So, why can't I come to your "mAnSiOn" "
"I have no idea. Depends on how mature you are."
"Are you saying I'm not??? I'm very offended."
While we were chatting about other subjects too, my buddy Xen came up to me from a different table. I hadn't noticed he was here too until now. Was he spying on me 'cause he thinks I'm suspicious? Oh god, spare me, please.
"Hey, Ayden! May I join you guys?"
"Yes of course. Eryx, this is Xen. My colleague"
At this moment, Eryx's sweet and fun face turned sour and still.
"Nice to meet you"
"Pleased to meet you too"
"Since, Ayden, your friend is here too, how about I invite Felix over? I'm sure we all will have a great time". There was bitterness in his accent.
"Why not"
Now that it was the 4 of us, the private time between me and Eryx has far long gone. Strangely, I'm feeling quite unhappy about this.
It was now evening, and everyone left. I accompanied Eryx 'till he reached his home as I had nothing to do. It was boring after the afternoon gathering. Therefore, I tried playing a game that Eryx loves on my PC back at my house. Sooner or later, the bore cycle came back just after a few rounds, which by the way, DID NOT LOSE.
*Ring Ring Ring*
It's Eryx! I got out of bed, fixed my hair; it was a video call; and sat on a random chair near me.
I wanted to tell you something before we left but didn't get a chance so I want to tell you right now, on the phone. But promise me you won't tell anyone. It's very serious.
"Sure"
He explained everything about what happened on the night of the full moon when I was in the forest. It was he who protected me?
"Since we're sharing secrets, I felt the guilt that I know yours and you don't know mine. Surprise?"
"I appreciate it. This actually makes sense, like how you got the hint that I was one of you know"
We were talking on the phone before the violence came about in the city's central mall. Why there though?
Seems like Eryx was thinking the same and told me to go with the plan. He added, "I believe there's a museum in that mall for some reason, and in that museum placed the historic rune which has access to all mythical creatures."
"Thank you". It looks like I have both the duty of securing my honor in the job and defending the Magickal Creatures. I'm only a teennn, how do I plan to accomplish it TvT?
