Luna : Okay.. No update for a month.. Geez… I only studied one night for 3 type of test! The reason why "no update.." because I can barely open my eyes… well.. I'm almost cured right now. and sorry for the long wait.. you know.. school..
Elyce : And homework*cuddling with cat(s)*
Luna : Yeah.. they're so troublesome.. hey… where did those cat come from?
Elyce : Eeeh~ I summon it.. I can do it right?
Luna : Yeah.. but it is a spoiler.. okay.. Elyce 2nd job is a Hatcher..
Elyce : What a weird name.. I feel like a chicken hatcher..
Luna : I'm not good at naming things… and she can only summon cats because of her lacks of magic
Elyce : But they're cute and strong~
Luna : "Any type" means.. those cat can become a monsters or something cuter…*shiver*
Elyce : *warm* =w=?
Luna : This room is so cold! *buried herself in the blanket*
Disclaimer:I don't own GrandChase, Blade is Hunter's, Ace is ClandarrloSlayer's, Aira is Solica's, Celcius too...And did I miss someone?
(Elyce's pov)
We keep silent for a while, and then I smirked.
"Hehehe~ don't worry~ leave it to me.. Do you bring any money?" after I said that I stood.
"Eeh.. I did.. But It's not many.. You want me to treat you?" She said, showed her money.
"No..No~ just one coin is enough "I took a coin from her hand, left the rest on her hand.
"Eh?" She confused.
I just walked to a crowd of peoples. And then I heard someone slammed the table.
"Hah! I win! Give me that money!" I heard a man shouted after that "slams" sound.
"No one can beat me in poker!" He shouted again after he reached the bet money. I could hear peoples were murmured about him.
"Can I join this game? Sounds interesting" I smiled. All the gazes turned to me.
(Aira's pov)
'What is she going to do?' I keep questioned myself. Suddenly..
"Can I join this game? Sounds interesting"
"!" I jumped from my seat.
'She's going to play poker?' I panicked.
"Hoo~ such a pretty lady we have here. Of course~ you can play. But you have to set a nice bet" The man with beards said as he examined Elyce up and down. He placed his hand on his chin and smirked. At first, I don't know what's he was doing, but.. I just noticed that Elyce is a mature woman… with mature body…. He must be a pervert!
All the people in the inn started to get interested to Elyce's sudden challenge.
'u-uwaa..~!Elyce~' I started to panic even more.
"Here" Elyce put the coin that she took from me.
… There was silence for a second.
And then all the people in the inn laughed.
"ahahaha! A coin! Seriously?" the man laughed so hard.
"Oh? You are afraid?"Elyce said, a young man stood from his seat and gave her his seat. She leans to her seat. The man took a glance once again on her. But seems Elyce noticed it.
"Hmm.. how about this.. If I win, you have to treat everyone in this inn including me of course..and…. If you win.. you can take the coin and me~" Elyce rested her chin on her hands, leaned forward. And then she narrowed her eyes
'E-eeeh!' I shocked at the word "me" that she said.
"E-Elyce~ What are you doing-" I didn't manage to finish my word, the man slam the table loudly.
"Deal! But with one condition, you'll do everything I say" the man shouted with a perverted smirk.
"W-wait! We-" Elyce held my shoulder to made me stop talking, she smiled at me.
"Fufufu~.. alright" Elyce chuckled. She took the card and began the game.
'Elyce… did you know you just selling yourself to the others don't you? You sure you will win this right?…" I keep talked in my mind, panicked and worried.
(After a while, thirst person's pov)
"Ah.." a man looks worried.
".." and another man looks amazed. The room inside the inn was incredibly silent. The entire gaze centralized to the poker table where there were two peoples played a card game.
"I call" the black haired girl placed her cards to the table.
"Woah.. it's a full house" someone muttered
"What! Why did you always win! What the hell is happening? You must be cheating!" The other man who seems like her opponent threw his cards aside.
"Oh? Do I?" The woman asked a nearby man behind her.
"E-eh? No.. I don't see she do anything cheating" the man said, amazed.
"Darn! One more time!" He slams the table again.
"Oh? But you already lose for.. oh.. I lost count..~ But I'll serves you" She said.
"Sir, we already lose many times.. we will lose all the money if you continue" said one of the man's servant to his master.
"Shut up! I'm sure I'll win this time!" He replied.
"Umm~ Elyce.." A blue haired girl behind the woman called her.
"Hm?" Elyce turned to her, smiled.
"How did you do that..? Aren't you… a bit.. lucky? You already won for more than twenty nine times~" She whispered to her. Elyce muttered a "So you do count it.."
"fufufufu~ it's because I'm cheating~" Elyce whispered back.
"W-what~? B-but.. how? you said.." The blue haired girl surprised, but still tried to lower her voice. She didn't want the guys near them heard what they were talked about.
"Do you ever know about vampire's special ability?" Elyce whispered, she received the card from the waiter.
"Eh.. N-no.. Ah… You're a vampire?" the girl surprised at what she heard
Elyce placed a finger on her lips, as a signal for the worried girl to calm(1). She opened the card a bit and took a slight look at the card. And then she put it down. She kept stared the five cards in front of her. But no one noticed that something appeared on her eyes and it was moving. And then the "thing" disappeared as she took the cards. Elyce put the card low.
"I call!" Suddenly the men slam the card to the table. Everyone's gaze turned to him
"Four of a kind" he said, with a grin. Everyone began to murmur.
(Aira's pov)
'Uwaa..what's going on?'(2)I confused by everyone sudden action. I turned my gazes at Elyce. She just.. smiled?
"I call too" She put her cards, in open position.
"R-Royal Straight Flush!" someone said, another murmured from other.
"I can't believe this…" that man(3) fainted.
"Fufufufu~ games over" Elyce stood and took a small bag of money.
"As your promise, pay my bill and give the rest to the other" Elyce held my hand and walked to our table where the… L-Lys.. was drinking the milk. Uwaa~ so cute~
"We'll go now, little friend. Sorry to keep you waiting" Elyce said as she grab it by its neck and put it on her back. I followed her. And I could felt almost all the gazes in this inn were aimed toward us. I felt embarrassed..(4)
(After they're outside)
"Uum~…Elyce" I tried to call her after we were outside and walked out of the village.
"what is it Aira~?" She looked back, but still walking.
"What do you mean by vampire and vampire's special powers?" I nervously asked, because I'm a bit scared.
She suddenly stopped.
"?"
"right~ I forgot to tell you about that" She turned back, smiled again.
"Oh.. but it's kind of weird! Why are you telling us about your identity?" a girl's voice suddenly came out from my hood.
"Celcius~" I whined when my fairy suddenly popped out and rushed at Elyce.
"Wah~ a fairy~" Elyce had an amazed look on her face.
"Celcius, don't be so rude" I tried to scold Celcius. Uuuh~ she's so impolite
"Okay, first.. It's because my friend trust you. That's make me trust you too. And you're so cute~" Elyce was about to hugged me again, but she had smacked by Celcius before she could do that.
"Ouch" Elyce whined
"C-celcius~!" I tried to caught her. And I did it.
"But mistress! She's a stranger" Celcius struggled.
"Now now.. calm down" Elyce suddenly grabbed my hand that had Celcius on it. She narrowed her eyes, stared at Celcius. After Celsius made an eye contact with her, Elyce blew her.
"E-Eh~? C-celcius? What's happen?" I became panicked when I realize Celcius was now fainted.
"Please do not worry, she just asleep" Elyce let go of my hand. Lys was gripping her on her shoulder.
"What did you do?" I became even more scared.
(Elyce's pov)
"Vampire's eyes can do illusions.. Though mine is not really good at that, but I still can trick human and low creature… and what I did to your little fairy is not illusion.. it's just another vampire's ability I expert at." I said as I laughed.
"So.. you means.. you use illusion the whole game? That's cheating. And Celcius.." she said and then stared at that little fairy.
"I did say that I'm cheating. I can win without cheating too.. but using it is more efficient. Or.. you want me to lose? And please don't worry about your fairy.. she'll wake up soon" I sighed.
"E-eh~~ N-no! I don't want you to lose too! B-but.. isn't that man is going to get trouble?" her face flustered.
"No.. that man is also cheating. I can see that. That's why I'm challenging him" I said.
"…"
"Aira!" I heard someone called her name. Both of us turned our gazes to the sound source. It's a black haired male. About 16 or 18 I think.. and behind him, oh.. looked like a hedgehog.. and she seems irritated. She brought a blue umbrella with her.
"Ah~ Ace~ Blade~" Aira called them back.
'Oh..they're her comrades..' I sighed and walked away without them noticed me.
(Ace's pov)
"Yo~ Aira. You forgot your umbrella. I thought you were still at the Marsh. Just who send you to that kind of place" I said with an annoyed tone
"Yes~ sorry for troubling you… The mission is complete. I just need to report what happened there" Aira said as she accepted her umbrella from Blade.
"Wow. You're so cool even without weapon" I hit her on the shoulder, not too strong.
"Ow.. hehe~ it's all thanks to E-..Aira turned back.
"?" We questioned who she was going to say. Maybe the tall one that walked away from us. Suddenly Aira ran towards her and..
"Elyceee~~ Don't go yet~~!" she jumped towards that tall person on the back and hugged her(5) on the back of her abdomen part. (6)
"U-uwaa!" The girl exclaimed
Thud! The two of them fell to the ground.
"A-aira! Why so-" The black haired girl protested when we reached them.
"You said you can't go back right~? And you don't have place to stay. Maybe we can help you~" Aira said on top of the stranger.
"…who's she?" Blade asked.
"She's the one who helped me back there. She was good at fighting, even with a root. And she's good at cheating" Aira said cheerfully
"I.. I don't think those thing are something I should proud about.." The girl murmured under Aira.
"wow.. you're fighting with root? Ahaha. Cool" I laughed and helped Aira to stood. Blade helped the stranger to stood.
"because it will be hard if you use nails as weapon to fight slimes and toad" She said as she lifted her hand.
"Yeah.. but it's kind of funny" I laughed once more.
(Blade's pov)
"Is this thing real?" I asked. I keep stared at the white thing with horn and along tail behind the girl. Suddenly it's turned to me. I'm shocked a bit. It had big purple eyes. Then it swung its paw towards me.
"Kyunn~"
"C-cute…" I murmured
"Yep. Too bad this cute thing will turn into a scary creature" that stranger said
"Why don't you going home with us? Maybe we can help you~" Aira cling into her.
"Aira… why are you asked this lady .. um.. knights.. to home with us?" Ace whispered to her. It's enough for me to hear it.
"Elyce.. and.. don't call me lady~ I'm not so a lady like person~" She chuckled.
"E-elyce?" Both of us surprised.(7)
"What's wrong?" Aira asked.
"Elesis and the others is already go home and reporting about what happen at the hell bridge" Ace explained
"And she mentions Elyce for disturbing their mission" I moved aside and walked toward Ace.
"Hey Hey~ It's not me the one who disturbing. They are going to capture a pregnant creature. And unfortunately.. I was the one who killed it.." she sighed.
"Yeah.. they said you were also strong. Well.. not you. They mention Rene.." Ace said as he folded his hands.
(Elyce's pov)
"You know? From my opinion, they're also strong and smart. They can find the barrier source and smart enough to know how to waking her up and making her angry" I said in annoyed tone.
"I'm not blaming them for make me killed her.. It's my fault too. Because I don't know anything about spell and does something reckless that make us ended up here" I continued.
"Maybe it's fate?" Aira said the same thing she said from before.
"Yes.. maybe. Cora.. Knows about this.. " I grab Aira's shoulder to ask her to let go of me after I said that.
"I don't want to going with you.. that will make a conflict between us. Our business is done. I'll just wait for them to take me home" I said firmly. Aira had a sad look on her face, and she began to cry.
"I..I thought.. it ..it would be nice if.. we could be friends…" She said between sobs and cries. Her friends send me a glare with "You make her cry".. words.
"Uh.. Ahh.. D-don't cry Aira.. Sorry. But, we can't. I think it would be nice too. But I also have friends at my home.. Though they wouldn't miss me very much even if I gone for a while" I tried to comfort her. But I never comforted crying kids. When Rey or Rone.. well he often cries.. the one who comfort them is Mei..
But.. Aira cried even more. And the two person next to her were sending me a "You make things worse.." stare.
"...~" I lose..
"O-okay… I.. will going home with you. So don't cry, okay?" I completely lose..
"Okay~" She whipped her tears.
(Ace's pov)
"Are you sure about that Aira..? Even if the Queen said that she can join the Grand Chase.. but we still don't know if we can trust her yet""I said in our discussion. The three of us were crouching at the corner far away from that 'Elyce', talked about Aira's statement about asking that person to going with us.
"Don't worry. I'm sure she was a trustable person." Aira said cheerfully.
"But she did make your fairy pet faint.." Blade said.
"That's because she want to calm down Celcius and explain about that cheating thing more efficient" Aira replied.
"and.. she's cheating?" Blade asked. Aira replied with a nod and"Uh-uh"
I'm and Blade make an eye contact.. with worried looks.
She definitely not someone who can be trusted… we had the same thought in the our eyes contact.
Luna : I don't know what to say…this one is monoton too..huh?...*sleepy*..
Elyce : You like S*k*ra right now
Luna : *sleep*
Elyce : yeah.. she become sleepy every times… and oh~ I don't know I can play poker~
Ace : you cheated
Elyce : Let test it out~
Ace : You asking for it
Aira : hehehe~ please review~
Note :
1 . I don't know the words.. like shook the card? Mixing the card? I get this idea when the image of Allen Walker flies through my mind.
2 . Aira doesn't know how to play poker xD
3 . the one who play with Elyce
4 . Aira is shy.. she feel embarrassment when all the gaze is at them
5 . Ace know Elyce is a girl because Elyce's long hair.
6 . Ummm like hugging from behind.. because Aira is short.. so she hug the abdomen part and make Elyce lose her balance and fall forward.
7. yes.. I know.. Aira mention Elyce's name when she hugs her.. but they didn't hear it clearly.
Tell me if there are some mistakes.. because I'm quite sure.. something wrong with this one when I upload it
