NOVEL NEXT Ex Ch 5 – Mutual interests
“You asked me to come here today to have a talk. What do you want to talk about? I hope you don’t make me waste my time with you.”
Frowning and squinting her eyes, Clara sits in front of Laura.
“Yeah, I also don’t want to see you unless it’s needed… But I think it’s important we talk about this as soon as possible.”
With her arms crossed, Laura opens her mouth again.
“I think you should drop from the team. With you on it, we’ll never be able to play properly.”
“W-what are you saying!? I’m Andreu’s sister! Of course, I’m going to be on his team!”
“That’s what I mean, you are his sister, not his friend. You should leave Andreu alone so that he can play with his friends.”
“Aaaah? I can say the same about you! I’ve always played with him since we were children! So why should you have a preference over me? You have only known each other for a year… It’s you who should leave!”
“Then, tell me why you want me to leave. Not that I’ll hear you, but I’m curious.”
“Only if you tell me first!”
“Haaah… ok.”
“Fufufufu” Chuckles Laura.
“Hehehehe!” Laughs Clara.
“Soo… we reached an agreement, right?”
“Hehe. Yes! We did!”
“Then, I’m glad you are on the same team! I was thinking you were a useless brat that was too attached to her older brother, but I don’t think so anymore.”
“And I also thought you were a cheap bitch that was only interested in charming my brother and abusing his kindness, but I’m sorry I was wrong.”
“Don’t worry, everyone can be mistaken sometimes. I forgive you. Fufufu!”
“Likewise. Hehehe! I’m glad we could understand each other.”
After a momentary pause, both of them start to laugh at the same time, imagining what’s to come in the future.
“Fufufu! I’m glad I asked you to talk like this! Why don’t we shake our hands to seal the deal?”
“Hehehe! I too am glad you did. Yeah, let’s shake hands and leave all disagreements behind!”
The two shake hands, wide smiles on their faces.
“From now on, each one will help the other achieve their goals. Is that right? Fufufu!”
“Hehehe! Yes! Of course, it is! You help me, and in return, I help you! What are teammates for if they don’t help each other, right?”
“You’re right! Fufufu!”
“So, when is our next party training?”
“I don’t know yet, but I’m going to pressure the guys so that it’s as soon as possible.”
“Nice! Thank you!”
“You’re welcome!”
After another short pause, both of them chuckle evilly again.
This marked the beginning of a pact between two players of the evilest factions. The one that crushes the body and inflicts pain, the demons; and the one that crushes the mind and inflicts despair, the abyss. Unknown to Andreu, certain plans were starting to move in the background.
What were these plans about? It’s a secret meeting and they talked about secret plans, so of course I’m not allowed to talk about it here.
