As Chung woke up, opening his eyes, he was greeted with two oranges eyes staring at him.
It was Eve.
"Eve? What is it?" said Chung as he scratched his eyes.
"Chung. I am hungry." said Eve with an emotionless face.
"N-Nasods can get hungry too? W-What do they eat? Cup of oil? El Fragment?" said Chung in his mind.
"Uh, what do you want to eat then?" said Chung, carefully choosing his words.
"Anything will do."
"H-how about a cup of oil? Or an El Fragment? Some screws?"
Chung then received a red mark on the face from Eve early in the morning.
"Food. I am not an animal to eat screws."
"So, um. Nasods do not 'usually' eat those kind of things?"
"Only stupid ones like ones in Altera Region eats those. Do you think I'm stupid?"
"U-uh no! I'll get you something to eat. Wait for me here."
As Chung left with a red mark on his face, Lu was in the kitchen, cooking Grilled Meat from Glitter's Food Supply and spices.
"Good morning! Chung was it?"
"Good morning.. Where's Ciel?"
"Ciel left outside to train and get some supplies for our next dungeon. Why?"
"I wanted to ask him on how he aims with his guns so accurately..."
Lu then noticed the red mark on Chung's face and asked:
"You two had fun last night didn't you? Hee-hee."
"F-Fun?"
"What's that mark on your cheek then?"
"It's from Eve.."
"Ha! I knew it! Young couples these days.."
"H-Huh? But Eve sl-"
"Time for breakfast! Kekekeke.." interrupted Lu as she prepared the food on the table.
"Okay.. Thanks I guess."
"Chung, can you call Ciel outside? He's below the hill inside the forest. Tell him it's time for breakfast." asked Lu.
"I will. Thank you in advance for the break fast!"
"No worries. You will help us anyway, won't you?"
Chung nodded as he left the door and started to walk down the hill.
"Eve! Time to eat!" called Lu.
Eve then barged outside and immediately sat on the table.
"You must be hungry! Did something tiring last night? Hmm?" asked Lu with a suspicious smiling face.
"Not really. But I haven't slept well because of Chung."
Lu then squealed like a teenage girl in a concert.
"I knew it! You two are couples aren't you?"
"Chung was snoring too loud last night. But..."
"But..?"
"I think I like him."
It was a matter of time till Chung reached the forest. He found Ciel training with a training dummy.
"Ciel? Lu called us to eat. She told me to call you down since it's breakfast."
"I'm coming." Ciel said with a neutral toned voice.
As they were walking down the forest, Chung asked some questions..
"How did you get up and down from here? It's too far!"
"Haven't you seen that rope?"
"Eh?"
Chung realized there was a rope with a small plank used for transporting attached to the house.
"I-I haven't noticed that. I'm sorry. Also.. Can you teach me how do you aim so accurately with your 'guns'?"
"It depends on how fast your bullets are. And the range of your bullets. If it's not fast enough then you have to predict."
"C-Can you train me how? This is my only weapon that I have!"
"I'll train you.. And I'll help you make another one of that."
"Thank you.. Also.. A random question.. Do you like Lu?"
Ciel stopped walking.
"U-uh nevermind that! Sorry if I blurted it out randomly!"
"No... I do like Lu... But I don't think there's a chance. My personality is too cold while hers is too.. Happy?"
"I see.. There is a chance! I will try to help you to get closer to her!"
"Thank you, Chung."
"N-no problem."
Chung and Ciel finally reached the plank as they stepped on, they pulled the rope together and eventually reached the their house.
"Welcome Ciel!" as Lu smiled, greeting Ciel as if it was his birthday.
"W..." said Eve.
"Huh? Eve? Is there something wrong?" Chung asked curiously.
"W-welcome back! ..Chung.." said Eve while blushing.
"Uh.. Thanks.. Are you okay though?" Chung asked again.
"Y-Yes I am! I-I'm just hungry..." said Eve.
"Oh yes! I think we should all eat now since you two are here!" said Lu.
The four of them happily ate their meal together.
As the El Gang were hunting dungeons, also finding clues for Eve and Chung, they met a certain black-haired girl unconscious.
"Elsword! Rena! Raven! I found someone here! And she really needs help!" Aisha called.
The four carried the black-haired girl together to their house, she was placed in Eve's room.
The girl suddenly woke up and shouted..
"Aren! Brother!"
"Miss, I think you need to calm down for a while, we saw you lying in a temple and decided to bring you here, what's your name?"
said Aisha as she poured somewater on the girl's wounds.
"A-Ara. Ara Haan."
"Miss Ara, can I ask why were you there?"
"I was looking for my brother, Aren. He was possessed by demons back then, and I needed a certain El energy that I was told it would make him come back."
"Oh! We're also looking for El energy. Uh.. Would you like to join us in our search?"
"Yes... Thank you... Um.. What's your name again?"
"Aisha."
"O-oh sorry! I forgot! I'm too dumb.. T-thank you Aisha!"
said Ara as she smiled.
"I only said my name once to you. But no worries Ara!"
Elsword was watching the two as he grinned. It was a while till Aisha finally noticed him standing at the door.
"E-Elsword? What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be training right now?!"
"I was already finished. In fact watching you was better anyways.." said Elsword. The final words were quiet but not quiet enough for Aisha to hear it.
"H-huh?!"
"U-uh I mean it's nice to meet you.. Ahaan? Aran? Ah! Aran! Nice to meet you.. I'm Elsword.."
"Nice meeting you, Elsword.. And it's Ara.."
"Oh! Sorry! My bad. Hehe..."
Rena was preparing meal as Raven was sitting on the table. Like a deep thought entered his mind for a long time..
"Raven? Are you alright?"
No reply was given but a cold look from Raven.
"Um.. Here's some food! I prepared it for you first!" said Rena as she gave Raven some cooked meat with vegetables on the continued on making the food for the others... She mixed some soup with the meat and placed them all on plates..
"Thank you, Rena." as Raven smiled a little while continued eating his meal.
"Huh? Oh! You're welcome!"
said Rena with a genuine smile.
"Raven... Do you think we'll ever find Chung and Eve?"
"I don't know... But I'm fine as long as you're here... You remind me of Seris.."
"Seris? Who's that?" said Rena with an unnoticeable blush.
"Someone who was important to me."
Chung, Eve, Lu and Ciel came back from a dungeon run it was already night time.
"Haaaa... We only found a little El Energy.. All we found were useless equipments!" said Lu in disappointment.
Ciel looked at Chung, as Chung nodded, Ciel finally spoke.
"We could probably use those equipments to renovate our house, Lu, also to make more weapons." said Ciel in a happier tone. "Good thinking Ciel! You're a good thinking and a reliable person to me!" said Lu. "Well then! It's already night time, we should sleep now. Good night! Everyone!" said Lu while yawning. "Goodnight!"
"Ciel.. What do you think of those two?" asked Lu.
"I think.. Chung is a pretty good person. He helps everyone he could.. But for that Nasod.. I don't really know." "Hmm.. I think Chung is also a kind person.. But Eve is actually quite 'human'. She does have emotions. Tee-hee..." "Emotions?" "Emotions that I shouldn't speak about to anyone.
"Lu.. I have something to tell you.. I.."Ciel looked at Lu who was already sleeping at his side. Ciel decided to have a peaceful slumber.
It was the awkward silence again. This is the second night and it felt weird again.. For Chung anyways.
"Chung..?" "Yes?" "C-can.. You bring me food and feed me tomorrow?" "Uh.. Yes.. Why?" "I feel sick."
"I'll will! And I need to get you some medicine! But where?""I don't need.. I'm a Nasod.. I only need heat.. Chung.. Can you sleep beside me?" "Y-Yes... I will.."
Chung then sat down beside Eve as Eve started to cling over him. Chung decided to sleep beside her for the whole night.
Hmm... I think there's too much romance in this chapter don't you think? I wanted to enjoy the shippings more!
I think I should add the adventures and stuff already on the next chapter.. Well then..
To those few who are reading this fan fiction, like always. Thank you!
New chapter to be released tomorrow or within 24 hours.
