Both of them stared at Ea's phone in curiosity.

"What do you think of it, Krowell?"

"Big 'no idea' here. How about you?"

Sigh. "Same with you. I'm clueless about what's that loafer talking about."

Krowell had to restrain himself from face-palmed. "And where's he now?"

"Gone since this morning without telling where did he go and hasn't returned until now."

Krowell really face-palmed after that.

"What the hell does he mean with this triple X sign?" Ea grumbled in frustrated manner. He almost messed up his neat hair until Krowell suddenly said—or asked, "Could it be that he wanted us to play 'find the treasure'?"

Ea stared at Krowell with dumbfounded look on his face.

"How old are you now, Krowell?"

"Sixteen almost seventeen."

"I know that that loafer is child-man person, but asking us to play that kind of game in a blank message like this is just…"

"…just forget that one. Tiashe asked me to play it with him and Onii-sama's bodyguard—"

Another sighs. "I'll forget it, then."

Then, they fell into a deep thought until Ea opened his mouth, "What about watching a movie?"

This time, it's Krowell turn to stare at him with blank look.

"Well, it's a movie's title, right?"

"As far as I remember, Ea, Landkarte hate to watch action movie since God knows when."

"…right. I forget about that one," Ea muttered softly, and then looked at his phone again. But several minutes later, he frowned. "Triple X sign can be interpreted as censor sign, can't it—"

"Did someone just say 'censor' here~?"

Krowell did nothing but stared at Zehel with his usual stoic face, while Ea face-palmed instantly. The dark-haired man hugged him from behind while reading message on the phone's screen, and smirked naughtily not too long after that. "I think this sign means 'triple kisses' for you, little brat."

"I'm not—what the heck did you just say?"

"He said that it's 'triple kisses for you', my dear friend."

Ea stared at Krowell and Zehel with shocked look on his face. Slow but sure, his cheeks started to burn—and he ran upstairs to check whether Landkarte has returned or not.

While Ea was running around the manor to find his naughty housemate, Krowell turned to see Zehel, who was laughing loudly as if that was the funniest thing he ever saw in his life. "Is that true, Zehel? About that 'triple kisses' thing?"

Zehel stopped to laugh slowly, and then showed Krowell his phone that full of messages from woman named Magdalene. "She told me about it; read the message carefully and—"

"Oh. So I see that you've got another girlfriend after you broke up with Profe."

"Hey! I didn't break up with her!"

"So you really are dating Profe?"

Zehel clammed up after that. He left his phone behind and walked away in robotic style to the garage, ignoring Krowell's rare transparent smirk.

Someone's going to be blackmailed soon by the youngest son of Raggs family…

The end.

A/N: Short and lame chapter it is. (_ _)||| Sorry, readers. At first, I want to make it as 'treasure hunting while having picnic with the resident's family'. But after I failed to do so, I decided to make a short ficlet like this one. And I started to ship Raggs War!ZehelxRaggs War!Profe lately, after re-read Blinded by iPolaris… (-w-)v
