Chapter 35: The New Mission

After meeting Williams for the second time. Mortell wasn't still apparently over from guessing the guy's identity. He decided to used this coincidental meeting for it's worth. After some light greeting at each other, Mortell decided to treat William on an ice cream.

And now, William was currently holding an ice cream in his hand. Occasionally, he would shyly lick it under the curious stares of the People. Mortell on the other hand(after finishing on eating his own ice cream) was creeped out with the People's behavior.

'It is very strange that they keep staring at William! Is he really that eye catching?'

Mortell narrowed his eyes, he stared at William's messy black hair, sharp but warm black eyes and his sharp sculptured face. Add the fact that the guy is so socially awkward and shy. And now he was eating the Ice cream like an enthusiastic puppy.

' Yeah, the guy was eye catching. '

Skull was startled out of his thoughts, when William has bring his face closer to him a little, together with his ice cream.

" William? "

" ..D- do you.. want... some? You've been staring at my ice cream...for a while. I have already licked it a few times. You can still take it back... since it was yours because it was your treat. "

Mortell immediately distance himself. His face was red. " No! I already have my ice cream earlier. It's yours, I'm not taking it back! " His voice has nearly became high pitched. Mortell was embarrassed. And couldn't William mentioned how he already 'tasted' the Ice cream? It's embarrassing!

" Thank you, I really like eating ice cream. " William smiled, his eyes crinkled in happiness as he give the ice cream another tentative licks.

Mortell inside his mind groaned in frustration. Is it his hormones acting, that he can't help but think of dirty thoughts?

Second meeting of William Meadows, Mortell still didn't manage to identify the Identity of his acquaintance. But due to William, (with the shy and awkward guy asking if they could be friends) their Acquaintance status turned into Friends.

Nov. 27, 1972

Skull arrived at the Gathering early and exhausted. He look at the Table and only manage to find Viper in the Shadows who was counting the money from a briefcase.

The Briefcase was on the table opened, and there was a note and a folded letter to them. Skull ignored the cash and the letter. He glance on the note and frowned.

[ Although there are mishaps on your First Mission, The Mission is successful. You have done very well.

This is the reward for your First Mission. ]

Skull sighed. The cash in the briefcase is firmly stacked. It wasn't mentioned how much the money place in the briefcase. He curiously look at Viper. Under their hood, an unusual smile has made their way on their face.

" Mou~ why didn't it was mentioned how much money is place there. Is it regretful, that I needed to count the money. " The smile wasn't wiped off on the Esper's face even if they are 'complaining'.

Skull decided in his mind that Viper was being creepy. It is better to distance himself from the said Mist Flames User. Viper look at him. Skull was uncomfortable under their stare.

" You have the lowest contribution on the First Mission, your reward would be the least. " The Esper said before resuming on counting the money.

It was later, that the others has also started to arrived with Reborn arriving the last. It was unusual for him but Reborn was excused since his reason for being late was something unexpected happened to his acquaintance. Hearing Lal mutter about clams silently has bring up Skull's curiosity. While that is happening, Skull decided to stay closer to Luce but Reborn has taken his seat.

" Senpai! Your UNFAIR! "

Reborn ignored the lackey's wailing. As he was currently being under Luce's stare and unpleasant smile.

" You can't take the seat of other people, Reborn. " While she said that, Reborn noticed that Verde was also staring at him with his 'evil' eyes. It was more expressive and colder than usual.

In the end, it was decided that Skull would sat on Reborn's previous seat. Luce picked up the Letter that was placed beside the Briefcase.

As Luce finish reading the Letter, She unconsciously hold her forehead as she suddenly felt a headache from her vision.

Pink smokes. Under the eyes of 'I Prescelti Sette', A two figures has emerged from the shady smoke.

Brown hair and Red hair. Two teenage boys. The first person has a brown gravity defying hair and Wide brown eyes. The Second Person has a red hair and Red eyes which has a strange four pointed mark.

" HIEEE! "

Brown terrified eyes stared at them under the worried stare of the strange red eyes.

" Are you alright? "

Reborn asked her. The Others were frowning, clearly worried about her sudden feeling of dizziness.

" I'm fine. " Luce smiled and thanked Reborn. " Oh dear, Things would get interesting. " She unconsciously muttered which resulted to many confuse stares.
