~Prologue~
It was a normal Monday for every person. People chatting, talking, minding their own business and doing their own job. No one cares for another's life; except if they are acquaintance that is..
On a single town, Blue Pegasus' Trimens strolls around. Wondering, not knowing what to do after they just finished their mission there.
Ren Akatsuki placed both his hands behind his head while walking. Eve Tearm looks down on the ground with a lifeless face. Hibiki Laytis crosses his arms across his chest. The three shows only one thing: they are bored.
Ichiya, their group leader, began to notice the depressing atmosphere. He, too, was bored and wanted to do something interesting. He stopped walking and started thinking in a deep thought.
Seeing their leader stop, Hibiki, Ren, and Eve stops as well, confused with their leader's actions. "Ahm, Ichiya-san?" Hibiki lowered his head. "What are you thinking about?"
"I was just thinking," Ichiya frowns. "We should do a little sightseeing!" His mood instantly changed in a blink of an eye. "To make things change for a little while, we don't we do our sightseeing separately. We'll meet up again here, on this spot. Hibiki, make sure you're safe or else we won't be able to contact each other via your Telepathy. Eve and Ren, make sure you keep yourselves out of trouble. We can't risk the guild's name to be stained. While I, too, do a little stroll.."
"Really?!" Eve exclaimed happily.
"Are you really letting us do it ourselves?" Ren adds with a big smile.
"Of course," Ichiya confidently answers.
"All right!" his students cheered in unison.
Ichiya turns and give them a warm smile. "What are you waiting for? Go out there and have fun with pretty girls!" Ichiya smilingly told the students.
While Hibiki Laytis walks on the west side of the town, he began to notice that he could rarely see girls anywhere. If he does see one, it's either she is with a guy or quickly passes by him. He begins to wonder the reason behind it.
While busy turning his head from left to right every 5 seconds of staring, he didn't notice that an average height girl, having a book opened wide, covering her face, was drawing close to him already.
The stranger wears a bright pink plain shirt, and white small suit jacket with pink folded collar. The long sleeves were folded, beforehand, up to her elbows. She also has denim shorts and knee-high black sneakers. Her hair appears to be aqua and long because she tied it using her cylinder gold metal hair tie. But the hair tie has an odd pattern.. It looks like old style of designing. As mentioned, the stranger has an average height and the same skin tone as Mirajane of Fairy Tail. She also seems small chested though. Even without looking at her face, one can really "tell" that she is tsuyayaka.
"Ah~ So that's why she's been acting strange lately!" she exclaimed and lowered the book below her chin. Her round, blue eyes sparkled in excitement. She appears to be wearing big black glasses.
When Hibiki heard the voice and looked straight ahead, it was too late. He bumped into her making a hard fall for both of them. The girl dropped her book causing it to close.
"Aw. That wasn't expected," she scratched her hair and grunted in pain.
Hibiki quickly stood up and came to the girl's aid. He reached for her hand. But she insist, "I can get up on my own." As she said, she stood up on her own and picked up her book. "I didn't looked where I was heading. My apologies."
"Oh no, it was also my fault for not noticing my way. If I was looking properly we wouldn't bump into each other. Please, no need for the apology," Hibiki, this time, insisted that the accident wasn't the stranger's whole fault at all.
For a moment, the girl paused and stared at Hibiki. Though he felt kinda awkward, Hibiki remained silent. She then introduced herself, "Euphilia. Euphilia Amane." she reached out her hand signaling that she wants a handshake. "Hibiki Laytis," Hibiki introduced himself back. After the exchange of names, Euphilia sadly informed Hibiki that she has to run to the train station before the train leaves for the next trip.
"In that case, I'll go with you," Hibiki politely proposed.
"Oh no. Please. I don't want to bother a gentleman while he is busy. Anyway I have friends that I must meet there. And expect me to be alone so, I don't think they'd be pleased if I'm with someone else," Euphilia quickly rebut. She bid goodbye to him and jogged her way to the train station on the north. Hibiki gladly waved goodbye to his new acquaintance. But, for the first time, he suddenly noticed that he never attempted to flirt with Euphilia. Something that made him think..
Eve, however, was taking his time walking in the south side of town. Just like Hibiki's observation, he rarely sees any girl at all.
Just then when he saw a single girl wearing green and white strips short sleeve shirt, black slacks and red ballerinas. She had her deep blue hair tied in a braid. Her fair skin glows as the sunlight hits her body. With her position facing sideways, from Eve's view, it was obvious that she had small chests. Her eyes are pretty violet.
The pretty girl was sitting on a table, by the window of a cute maid café. When Eve noticed that she was alone, eating strawberry cake, he instantly decided to join her even without her consent. When he entered the café, the bell that was hanged above the door rang. Being alert, the girl stared at the door, with fork still in her mouth, and saw Eve already behind the empty white chair, facing her.
"Mind if I join you?" Eve politely asked with politely with a smile.
"I don't mind," the stranger closed her eyes as she continues to eat her sweet cake.
Eve pulled the chair backwards and sat down, slowly. He signaled for the waiter and took his order of blueberry cake. Eve glanced at the girl, sitting with him, and noticed that she kept staring at the window with a bored look. "Ahm, excuse me," Eve broke the silence. "May I ask your name, miss? I'm Eve Tearm." This time, the girl stared at Eve and said that her name was Ayame Amane. Eve complimented that the name fits her well because of the style she wears. Ayame gently smiled at Eve and the two had a quick conversation.
Suddenly, Ayame looked at the clock, that was hanging in the middle of the walls and exclaimed with a slam on the table, "It's already 12:29!?" Eve paused and stared at her. "Sorry Eve, gotta run. I need to attend my appointment. See yah around!" Ayame said as she exits the café.
Eve suddenly thought of something.. He had a date with a new friend! But.. is it really considered a date?
About 20 minutes later, the Trimens gathered again in their said meeting spot. When Hibiki, Eve and Ren got there, their leader wasn't present. It made Ren ask Hibiki if he got any word from him. "Ah yes, I did," Hibiki gladly confirmed. "He said something about meeting up in the train station in the north, where he did his strolling." "Then why didn't you told us in the first place?" Ren narrowed his eyes.
"Well, Ichiya-san contacted me earlier. I was about to tell you two but I saw.."
"You saw..?"
"Ahm... Girls."
"Oh. But, you're so lucky. I almost ended up in a fight when I was strolling. Jeez that block-head."
"Block-head?" Eve gives his attention to Ren's story.
"Yeah. I stumbled across a guy who was running fast towards me. We kinda got a little argue on whose fault it was..." Ren continued his story while the three walks to the train station. He described the person for them. An average height guy with slightly tan skin tone. He was wearing a black checkered shirt, straight pants and black sneakers. He also said that the guy had red somewhat messy spiky hair. Some of his hair frames half of his face, up to his ears only. The edges were pointy and he had violet eyes. Ren continues the story. He said that the guy suddenly went running to north and yelled, "We'll settle this soon! You better never let your guard down!"
By the time the three pupils got to the train station, the train wasn't there anymore. Eve turned his head and immediately saw Ichiya sitting on a green bench. Ichiya had his eyes closed and hands crossed. He seemed to be waiting for the next train. Hibiki, Eve, and Ren quietly joined him and waited for the next train too.
"Jeez! I'm really going to get his butt kicked when I meet him! He almost got me late for this trip!" a guy furiously exclaimed while he sits on the running train.
"Oh don't get all worked up, Kaede. You might rampage," said the girl who was sitting on the opposite side. The girl appears to be Euphilia, the girl who Hibiki met while they were in the town! She had her legs crossed while reading the same book she was reading before.
"Looks like someone had a peaceful stay in town, nah Taiyoura?" Ayame Amane, the person next to Euphilia, sitting by the window, smirked. This time, her braided hair is no longer braided. She must have removed it beforehand earlier.
Taiyoura!? Euphilia's name is Taiyoura?! But why did she lied about her name? And.. why is she friends with Ayame? Plus, is Kaede the person Ren was talking about in his story!? What could be the three's plot?
"This trip will be a little longer then anticipated, huh?" Kaede placed his hand at the back of his head. "Especially that the next town we'll be visiting has a guild in it. Maybe we could join in? What do you think?"
"Well, I heard that the guild there is a famous one. The one they call Blue Pegasus," Ayame lifelessly replied.
"That's better then nothing, right?" Taiyoura/Euphilia lowered her book and warmly smiled..
A/N: Tsuyayaka means pretty. =)
