Chapter 5 – The New Friendship
The heretic child looked around searching for a familiar head of black hair. "Yuki?" His golden eyes scanned the crowd. "Where's Yuki?"
"Quiet! Be Quiet! God is about to speak!" a servant in the tall building yells in the microphone.
"Goku, be quiet during God's speech," Konzen says, looking down expecting to see the child but sees his secretary holding thin air. "That bakasaru!" he yells out.
Yuki jumped from the sudden yell and looked at her boss with wide eyes, "K-Konzen, what's wrong?"
"Where the hell did he run off to?!" the blonde continued to yell as he frantically looked around for the heretic.
The kind woman was confused to who the blonde was talking about. Clearly everyone was here. She squeezed her hand that held the boy's but was even more confused when she didn't feel anything. Her heart started to race when she looked down and didn't see the boy that was there just a second ago. "Ah! Goku, where did you go?!" Yuki screamed. She started to freak out and cry in her panic. "Why did he leave? Oh, I'm a horrible caretaker!"
Yun Li, who was standing next to his ward, tried to calm her down. "There there Lady Yuki," he says with an expressionless face, "I'm sure he is nearby."
Konzen, after figuring out that Goku is not nearby, looked to the crying woman and felt bad. It was partially his fault that she reacted this way. Him yelling only made it worse. He had to calm her down so he walked up to the woman and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Come on," he tried to say in a calming tone but came out sounding agitated, "let's go find that stupid monkey."
Yuki looked up at the man and nodded with a smile. Her boss was right to stay calm in a situation like this. She had to stay positive so she could think more clearly instead of panicking.
Konzen let go of her shoulder and turned to his left to go find the child, "Stay close. We don't need to lose each other in this crowd as well."
Yuki obeyed, following close behind the blonde as he zigzagged around people in the crowd, her bodyguard silently following her as well so he doesn't lose her. She just hoped Goku was alright.
In the tall building about two stories below God, bored violet eyes looked down at the crowd of people. He didn't understand why it was such a big deal to come to these formal events. He just wished they would end quickly.
"Nataku, you seem bored."
The blonde boy turned his head to look behind him, "No, not really father."
Li Touten smirked darkly, "Listen Nataku. Be sure to take a good look at this ceremony. Soon, I will be the one to stand in that God's position and the one to inherit my position will be you."
The War God turned back to the crowd and let a deep scowl on his face.
"Understood?"
He gripped the railing tightly but replied, "Yes sir."
Oh, how he despises his father's eyes.
"It's been a long time since a war took effect on this land. Annihilation and defeating evil is Heaven's will! It's a loyalty the subjects must show-"
Goku continued to look around for Yuki and Konzen. His gold eyes scanned the crowd but could only see a few people. Being small had its difficulties. "Where in the world is Yuki? If I stray from her, I won't get any food!" He turned around, "Maybe she's over he-ACK!" but bumped into someone causing him to fall down on his butt.
"What's with this dirty brat?" a dark haired male growled out.
"Quit running around!" his buddy yelled at the boy.
"What the-?! You were the ones who came bumping into me in the first place!" Goku argued to the two men. He was going to apologize but these guys were big jerks.
"Huh?" the blonde man looked at the boy with shock. "Hey! This brat has golden eyes!"
His friend, not wanting to believe his friend, looked and was shocked as well when he saw the child's eyes. "You're right! Then this guy is the heretic creature that was brought from the outer world."
"So he's the unknown kid who that obstinate and unsociable Konzen Douji patronages."
"Ah, don't forget that harlot of a woman Yuki."
"They probably took this kid in because she can't have any children."
"Heh, probably from all the men she had."
Goku couldn't take it anymore. He didn't understand much of what was going on but he knew these guys just insulted his two caretakers. He let his instincts take over and kicked the closest guy's leg.
"Shit!" the man cursed, kneeling to hold his leg in pain.
The heretic pointed an accusing finger at the man, "Y-You just said something bad about Yuki and Konzen, didn't you?! I won't forgive whoever badmouths them!"
"You fucking brat!" the man growled as he stood up and charged at Goku ready to punch him. Goku put his hands up in front of him ready to defend himself but the fist coming his way was stopped.
"It's tasteless of you to use violence against an undisciplined child," Tenpou reprimanded as he let go of the man's arm.
The crowd of people backed away from the new guest in shock, gasping out, "General Tenpou of the Western Army Unit?!"
Goku just exclaims in joy, "Ten-chan!" He was excited to see his new friend.
"Before blaming it on a 'brat', please look back and renovate your immature attitude," Tenpou politely insulted with a smile. He wasn't going to let anyone criticize any child that didn't know better.
"What's a military officer talking big?!" the dark haired grumbled out, his shock replaced by anger how the Field Marshal was acting.
"Now is truly the time for Heaven sent opportunity-" the announcer was getting nervous by the commotion going on below him.
"What's all the fuss about?!" one servant growled out, looking down to see what was going on.
Another servant joined him, looking at the crowd in disgust, "In front of God!"
A military officer, being sent to find the commotion, found the group causing it. They immediately spotted the golden eyed child. "Who's this dirty brat?! Throw him out!"
Another officer grabbed the child. "Uwah! What are you doing?!" Goku yells, struggling to get out of the hold. He resorts to biting the man's arm, "Let go!"
"GYAH!"
"Shit, seize him!"
"Wait a minute, that child is…" Tenpou tried to stop the men but they didn't get far. The man going after Goku was kicked down by a foot connecting to his chest.
"Hey," Kenren greeted with a bored expression. Once he figured out the tension in the air, he grew a cocky smirk. "What's up? This is turning out to be interesting. Let me join too!"
"Ken nii-chan!" Goku exclaimed with a smile.
Tenpou just smiled at his friend, "Seems like a person to make matter worse showed up."
During their greeting, more guards appeared around them. A blonde man spoke up interrupting their small talk, "Even if you are General Kenren, we won't allow you to use violence in front of God!"
"Ha!" Kenren laughed at the man, "I was bored the hell out of my mind listening to that old geezers fuckin' dull speech. It's a good opportunity to shake off my sleepiness." He then opened his arms and smiled stupidly, "Whoever holds a grudge against me from daily life, come against me all at once!"
"There you go again, challenging them…" Tenpou sighed out not believing his friend is doing this again.
"Finally! I call first dibs!" a familiar female voice pierced through the crowd.
The group of people parted to allow the woman and her bodyguard to pass through. As she walked through, the crowd mumbled under their breath, "The Admiral?!" They didn't dare speak up in fear that her temper would flare.
Kenren looked at his challenger and smirked, "Hey sweet-cheeks! What are you doing here?"
Amaya sent an annoyed look his way, "Don't call me ridiculous names dumbass!"
"I'll call you whatever I want to my adorable midget!" Kenren threw back but felt the front of his shirt be crumbled up by a fist. He looked down to see narrowed red eyes only a few feet away.
"Want to rephrase that General?"
"Hm, nah I'll stick with what I got."
"I am going to enjoy beating the shit out of you!"
"I don't think you can handle me sweetheart~!"
"Wanna bet?"
"An Admiral can never beat the General!"
"Rank doesn't mean shit!"
"Hey!" a guy from the crowd calls out but the two military officers continued to fight. "Damn it," he growls out. "Are you ignoring us?!"
Before he could react, two gloved fists connected to his face causing him to fall back. "Shut up!" the two officers yelled but their actions caused the rest of the angry men to attack.
"Bastards!" Amaya growled out as she kicked a guy in the stomach. "This is all your damn fault Kenren!"
Behind her, Kenren was laughing away as he punched men coming his way. "This is so much fun! Hey Chao Li, come join us!"
The bodyguard, who was standing next to Tenpou with his arms crossed, shook his head, "No. I'm not getting involved with you two idiots."
He moved a little so a guy wanting to join the brawl could pass by but was suddenly punched in the face. Holding his face, he looked to see who punched him and saw a familiar face. "Oops~! Sorry, my fist met the wrong face," Amaya teased with a victorious smirk. She wasn't going to let her bodyguard call her an idiot.
"You little bitch! I am going to end you!" Chao Li snarled out. He pushed his way through the guys in the brawl, ready to get his ward back. In range to kick the woman, he was smirking until his foot met another that wasn't the Admiral. He managed to knock down a man who walked in at the wrong time.
Without meaning to, Chao Li ended up joining the fight. "Damn it! This is all your fault Amaya!"
"My fault?! You joined at your own risk stupid! Don't go blaming others for your own mistake!"
"At least we are working off all that food we ate last night!" Kenren tried to stay positive in their situation.
"You were the one who ate the most Kenren," Tenpou chimed in, still safe from the fight on the sidelines.
"Shut up! You're not helping!"
As the fight and argument continued, bright gold eyes watched in amazement as the violent trio fought off the angry crowd. 'Wow! Those four are amazing! It looks like so much fun!' Goku thought. He wanted to join them in their fun.
He saw a guy approaching the Field Marshall from behind in an aggressive manner. "Ah, Ten-chan! Watch out!" the child yelled, jumping to his feet and charged at the man. He leaped into the air and landed a swift kick to the man's face, the man falling to the ground unconscious.
Feeling the child land next to him, the General looked back and smirked, "Nice going chibizaru!"
"Don't call me saru!" Goku growled out in annoyance. Konzen already called him that. He didn't need another person saying he was a monkey.
"And the situations brought out were all…" "What are they doing?!"…"Dare to ummm…" "Hurry up and stop the clamor!" God tries to continue with his speech but with all the shouting his servants were doing mixed with the commotion going on below them, he couldn't concentrate long enough to finish.
Nearby in the tall building, Goujun watched as the riot continued but spotted a familiar face. "That man again…" Why does he always find him when there's trouble?
In another room, Li Touten was listening to all the racket below from the fighting. He turned towards a servant who just walked in, "What's wrong?"
"Um, well…It seems like there are a bunch of people starting a riot in the hall," the servant nervously replied. Delivering bad news was never good especially to a higher up.
Nataku continued to look out by the balcony trying to find where the riot was coming from. His eyes brightened when he saw his friend he met a couple of days ago in the middle of the fight. "Ah!" he exclaimed quietly. 'It's him!'
"How absurd!" Li Touten said in disapproving manner. He looked to his son with an evil smirk. "Don't you think it's sad that we have so many vulgar characterized idiots, Nataku?"
Nataku gripped the railing, despising his situation. "Yes," he said but does not agree to. He felt caged. He couldn't even extend his arm beyond the rail in front of him. He was not granted access to the Free World.
He was his father's possession.
In her own room, Kanzeon was laughing at the fight. "See Jiroushin? Isn't it a fun entertainment?"
Her assistant shakes his head, wearing a dark expression, "I can't think anything but pity the God…"
"Well, isn't it ok?" she asked with a smirk. "You know how they say 'Fire and Fight are Edo's beauty'~!"
Jiroushin sighs mournfully, "Where is this place called 'Edo'?"
The fight finally won, the group of five returned to each other all with happy smiles in victory. Kenren was about to say something smart but something caught his eye. He looked to the Admiral next to her bodyguard and saw a small red mark on her face. "Oi! What happened to you Amaya?" he asked pointing to her cheek.
"Eh?" Amaya went to touch the bruise but winced when she did. "Oh, that. It's nothing."
"It doesn't look like nothing," Tenpou argued, slightly worried about his officer.
Amaya turned her head so her hair could try to hide the mark. She was about to say it was nothing to worry about but her chin was grabbed and forced her to stare into the gray eyes of her bodyguard.
Chao Li looked at the scuff to make sure it would only be a bruise. When it was all clear, he lightly pushed the woman's face back and scoffed, "Be more careful idiot."
"Oi! Stop babying me!" Amaya growled out.
"Are you ok miss?" Goku asked the woman. He never met her before but how Kenren and Tenpou treat her, they seem to really care about her.
Amaya looked at the child and smiled brightly, "Of course! It's just a bruise. It will go away in a few days."
"Ok!" Goku smiled back, believing the Admiral's words. She seemed pretty strong by how she fought the crowd.
"So, who are you?" Chao Li asked the heretic. He had a feeling who he was but he wanted to make sure.
"My name is Goku!" the little boy exclaimed in joy. "What's your name?"
"Chao Li," the lavender haired man replied with his usual scowl. "I'm her bodyguard."
Goku looked at the woman again with expecting eyes, "And who are you?"
The Admiral was staring back at the child with calculating eyes. She swears up and down she heard that name before but for the life of her, she couldn't remember. Suddenly she felt an arm wrap around her shoulder pulling her out of her thinking process.
Kenren, who was leaning on the woman, smiled at the child and chuckled, "This is Amaya but just call her Aya-Nee!" The woman in his arm could only think, 'Aya-Nee? What kind of name is that?'
"Aya-Nee?" the child tested the new name. He then smiled brightly and exclaimed, "Aya-Nee!"
"-ku! Goku!" a familiar angry male voice rung through the crowd. The group looked to where the voice came from and found an equally angry blonde coming their way. "What the hell are you doing?!"
"Oh~! It's the appearance of the owners," Tenpou said with a smile knowing how this was going to play out.
"Goku!" Yuki was the first one out of the crowd and ran straight for the young child.
"Yuki!" the heretic exclaimed right when the woman engulfed him in a tight hug.
"Oh thank God you are ok! Are you hurt?" the woman let go of the boy and checked him over for any cuts or scrapes.
Goku just giggled because of how his caretaker was acting. "No, I'm not hurt Yuki," he reassured.
Seeing that there was no damage to the child, Yuki sighed out in relief but lightly glared at him, "Please don't run off like that Goku. I was so worried about you."
Goku frowned at having the woman worry about him. He didn't mean to get lost. It just kind of happened. "I'm sorry Yuki. I promise I won't run off again," he apologized, waiting for the woman to continue to be disappointed in him.
Yuki saw this and let her glare disappear with a smile. She leaned in to give the child a kiss on his forehead to reassure him that she wasn't angry or disappointed. "It's ok Goku. I forgive you," she said with a bright smile that made the boy smile as well.
"But I don't!" The moment was ruined when the angry blonde appeared behind the heretic and grabbed his ears, roughly pulling them away from his head. "I told you not to stray away from us! You bakazaru!"
"OWWW~! I'm sorry!" Goku whined out in pain. He would never get used to this kind of treatment.
"Ah! Konzen, please stop!" Yuki cried out, hoping her boss would stop.
Konzen stopped when he felt an arm around his shoulders and was confused from the contact. "Now now Mister," a teasing voice came soon after. "Kids are wind's children. They're still at that age when they want to play."
The blonde smacked the arm around him away, "Don't touch me! Who the hell are you?"
"The rambunctious General," the tall man introduced without missing a beat. "That includes the lower half of the body."
Konzen just continued to glare at the man. He now had a face with a name and he does not like it one bit. "General Kenren I presume."
"You know it," Kenren smirked. This guy seriously had a stick up his ass but he wasn't going to let him ruin his fun.
"Ah! Aya, what happened to your cheek?!" Yuki exclaimed running towards her sibling.
"She wasn't careful and got hit during the fight," Chao Li answered for his ward making his way towards the other bodyguard.
"Shut up! It's not like it was intentional," Amaya growled out. She hated when her sister worried about her the most. She could handle Chao Li and Yun Li worrying about her but not her sister. She wanted to be strong for both of them and having her worry was not being strong.
Yuki wrapped her sister in a hug, "I'm glad you're not hurt badly."
Amaya felt her face flush in embarrassment. "Yuki," she grumbled lowly.
The eldest quickly let go and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry! I forgot you hate that."
"Awww~! Isn't that sweet?" Kenren ruined the moment with his comment.
"Shut up!" Amaya yelled at her superior. She was about to call him more insulting words but felt a pair of eyes glaring at her. She looked behind her sister to see narrowed violet eyes. Her own red eyes glared back, not liking how this guy is staring at her. "Who the hell are you staring at?"
"Aya!" Yuki whined out, nervously looking behind her to see how her boss reacted.
Konzen only needed that reaction to confirm his thoughts. Very loud and obnoxious. Kind of resembles his secretary. "Oh, you're the brat Yuki is related to," the blonde deadpanned.
"What'd you say punk?!" Amaya growled out.
"Konzen…" Yuki grumbled under breath.
Her sister heard her and a light bulb went off in her head. "Wait, you're that asshole Yuki works for, aren't ya?"
"Asshole?" An all too familiar sound of a hand meeting face resounded. Yuki face palmed at the meeting. She wanted it to be a bit better than this.
"Yuki, why did you smack yourself?" Goku asked his caretaker innocently. Maybe she was trying to kill a bug that landed on her face?
"Konzen-sama?! Lady Yuki?!" a blonde servant exclaimed in shock. He just arrived to the scene looking for the two when he heard their voices. "So you were at a place like this when I noticed you missing from your upper seat!"
Yuki looked at the servant, ready to apologize for disappearing but her boss spoke first. "These men are my company. I'll take responsibility for their clamor and leave the room."
"Hey! I am not a-!" Amaya began to protest but was silenced by a gloved hand. She looked up to see the General smirking at her, putting a finger to his lips. Her response was a roll of the eyes.
"W-Wait!" the servant stuttered out, trying to stop the man but his attempt was futile.
Konzen turned toward the exit and said, "Let's go."
The group looked at each other, not knowing what to do. It was Yuki, Goku and Yun Li who moved first to follow the blonde. A few seconds later, the military officers followed suit.
Tenpou managed to catch up to his old acquaintance. "Are you sure?" he asked. "We were the ones who started it on our own wills."
Konzen allowed a small smirk to cross his lips, "Hmph, I just made an excuse so I could skip this event."
Tenpou had to stifle his laughter on that response. His old friend is definitely changing.
The group of eight followed the blonde out of the large crowd of people, ignoring the stares from people. The Admiral was the only one who glared at the crowd, hating the stares but received a smack to the head by her bodyguard to make her stop her childish behavior. Everybody else walked like they owned the place.
They walked through the hallway familiar to the blonde and his small group until finally they entered his office. Konzen turned around and glared at the military officers. "How far are you bastards planning on following us?!" he growled out.
"You're the one who said, 'Let's go.'," Tenpou reminded his friend with an indifferent gaze.
Kenren peaked up behind the angry blonde and smirked childishly, "Now, now, mister. The only thing that needs to be hard is that 'thing'." The General chuckled, "This is some kind of destiny! Let's get drunk today!"
His smirk didn't last long because he was hit on his head by the blonde he was trying to be nice to. "Don't be too friendly!" Konzen gritted out through his teeth. He felt a headache approaching and he did not need this.
With the women, the eldest sibling gasped out in shock and felt her face flush in embarrassment. "Kenren, you shouldn't say that!" she scolded.
Her sister, on the other hand, was giving her superior a confused look and asked innocently, "What thing?"
Yuki hung her head in shame. Sometimes her sister was TOO oblivious.
"Well sweetheart~ I'll tell you all about it!" Kenren started, ready to embarrass his underling. "This 'thing' is when a man is-."
"Hey Kenren~ Goku wants to talk with you," Yuki interrupted, pushing the young child towards the man. She really didn't want her sister to freak out when she was told what it meant. Granted it would be amusing but she didn't want any more yelling.
Goku looked up at the General and cocked his head to the side in an innocent manner, "What were you going to tell Aya-Nee?"
Yuki squeaked at the question as Kenren smirked, "I'll tell you when you get a bit older kid."
The heretic frowned but let it go. He was just happy that he got to see his new friends all together. He turned to Konzen who was walking to his desk and said, "Konzen~! I'm gonna play with Ten-chan and Ken-Nii-chan!"
"No you are not! They are to leave now!" Konzen ordered, glaring at the two men behind the child.
Goku puffed out his cheeks but got an idea. "Yuki! Can I play with Ten-chan and Ken-Nii-chan?"
The woman had no will power to deny the child. Especially with those bright eyes looking right at her. "Of course you can dear," she caved.
"YAY!" the boy jumped in joy, exclaiming his excitement.
"What?!" Konzen looked at his secretary with wide crazy eyes. "They cannot stay! I already told him no!"
"Oh, but it's not like they will hurt anybody," Yuki shrugged her shoulders with a small sheepish smile. "Plus, it will keep Goku out of our way for a while if he plays with Tenpou and Kenren."
Konzen was about to retort, saying that they should still leave but thought about it for a second. If the military officers weren't here, the young child would always be whining and keep Yuki away from her work. If they stayed, they would get a lot more done.
He let out a loud sigh and turned back to his desk to sit in, "Fine! Do as you like. We don't have time to be messing around." He sat down, still scowling deeply, "I'll beat up whoever disturbs our work though!"
Goku jumped for joy once again when it was official he could play with his new friends. Kenren smirked at the little lover's quarrel thinking how much those two resembled an old married couple. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt something tugging on his arm.
"Ken-Nii-chan! Ken-Nii-chan! Let's play!" Goku said in a typical child-like tone wanting to play.
"Ok, what shall we play then Goku?" Kenren asked the kid. He honestly didn't know many games to play with young children.
"Dorokei?" Tenpou suggested a strategy type game. "How about chanbara?"
"Hey, I found a bat and a ball inside the storage last time," Amaya said with a bored expression.
"Baseball?"
"That sounds like it will be interesting."
A few minutes later after searching for the items, the group of friends were getting ready to play a quick game of baseball. Konzen and Yuki were still working on their paperwork while the bodyguards of the two siblings were standing nearby, staying out of the way but still have a good view of everyone.
"Oh! Me first!" the Admiral exclaimed.
"Pfft, why so excited princess?" Kenren teased but secretly thought it was adorable how the woman was reacting.
Amaya glared at the man, "Shut up! I didn't have enough time to play much when I was younger."
Yuki had to smirk at that since she knew her sibling had all the time in the world to play when they were younger. She just chose not to play.
Chao Li scoffed at the remark though. He also knew that the youngest sister had time to play when she was younger but always sported a rebellious side. He never figured out why she went all rebel though.
"Fucking idiot," he grumbled under his breath.
He earned a smirk from his partner next to him but unfortunately his ward also heard him. She gave him a nasty look but got into position to hit the ball. "Hey, throw the ball."
Kenren shrugged and threw the ball at the woman, not thinking much of it.
Amaya aimed her hit at her bodyguard and nearly hit her mark. She hit the wall right between him and his friend.
Chao Li managed to move his head at the very last second. He glared at the Admiral, "HEY! You meant for that to happen!"
"Of course I did! I wasn't going to be called an idiot by the likes of you!" Amaya retorted, her own vicious glare aimed at the tall man.
"You almost hit Yun Li!"
"So?! It's what he gets for being near you!"
Chao Li growled lowly in his throat. He marched his way towards his ward and grabbed the front of her shirt, "You bitch! At least apologize to him!"
"Why should I?! He knows the dangers of being our bodyguards!"
As the two continued to fight, Kenren managed to steal the bat in the woman's hand and sneak away. "Alright, let's try this again! Goku, throw the ball to me and I'll hit it ok?"
"Ok!" the heretic said as he grabbed the ball and got into place.
Konzen, trying to finish his work while blocking out the fighting, was just about to finish a document until he heard the ball be hit and his ink flew through the air, spilling all over his papers.
"Ah, my bad," Kenren drawled out with a blank expression. He didn't even seem to care that he ruined the blonde's hard work.
"Oh no…" Yuki whispered, clearly seeing the brewing storm inside her boss.
"Konzen~! Ball~! Pass it!" Goku jumped, waiting for his caretaker to toss it back to him. He was oblivious to the fact that somebody was about to die.
Konzen grabbed the ball and muttered out darkly, "You bastards." He was ready to see blood on someone. He reeled back his arm holding the ball and threw it, "I'll fucking kill you!"
"Wow!" the child watched on in amazement.
Kenren, seeing it as a challenge, reeled back the bat and said, "I can take this!"
Chao Li and Amaya, who were still butting heads, stopped to look at the fight and were slightly surprised to see the blonde throwing the ball.
Yuki and Yun Li, just shook their heads and prepared their heads for the loudness about to ensue.
Tenpou, who was sitting on the floor smoking, watched on and knew something bad was about to happen soon.
Not even a second later, the ball crashed through one of the windows and everybody watched on in silence.
Goku was the first one to speak, "Ah, you're naughty Konzen."
"Oh dear…" Yuki giggled but covered her mouth to hide it.
"Shut up! Kenren was the one who hit it!" Konzen argued back, clearly not seeing how childish this whole thing was.
"Oh please!" Kenren scoffed. "You were the one who was asking to hit it back!"
"If this idiot wouldn't have suggested playing baseball originally, none of this would have happened!" Konzen pointed at the Admiral accusingly.
"Hey!" Chao Li growled out. "Nobody calls her an idiot except me!"
Amaya smacked her bodyguard on the head, "Not even you can call me that!"
As the bickering continued, Tenpou looked out the broken window and had to let a small smile show on his face. The times were definitely changing and he wouldn't mind a change of pace.
"Well, you know what they say~," Kenren said in a teasing tone, "Good friendship is a beautiful thing~!"
The three voices of Chao Li, Amaya and Konzen could be heard as they yelled angrily, "NOT!"
