"Why didn't you do it with Chung?"

"Stop! Why are you guys so horny?!"

The girls were making a circle on the carpet near the window in the bedroom. They could see the backyard and the beautiful night sky. Elesis leaned her back against the window with a red face. The girls were asking her night with Chung about... if they did some "stuff".

"Was he not attractive enough?" Rena asked with a curious look. Since she had the hotel keys, she kind of set up a girl to be with a boy for one night. She got lucky that Lu was with Ciel, so this could happen.

Elesis' face turned redder as she remembered what she saw when Chung wore his sleepwear. "He has smooth skin, alright? I kinda want to grab those thighs!"

"Oh, really? I'll grab it for you," Lu giggled and imagined herself doing the same indecent act to Chung.

"Lu, you seem close with him all of a sudden," Ara commented with a smile and looked at her happy face. "Is it love?"

Lu closed his eyes, thinking about the word "love". Love could be the right word, but it wasn't accurate either. She opened her left eye and looked back at Ara. "No, but he's… oddly interesting," she answered and tilted her head a bit. Ciel was the only person that cared for her, before and after she got into the gang. Nobody really cared about her because Ciel already did everything that she needed. But for a reason she already knew, Chung gave her a lot of hairpins. It's worthless to her, but it's not about the materials.

"How so? I can't see it, to be honest," Rena sighed and looked at them with a confused look.

"Talk with him yourself. He can be cool," Elesis said with, surprisingly, a serious look. She wasn't flattered anymore.

"Are you guys into Chung now?" Ara asked as she raised her one eyebrow. She faced Rena and nodded. "But yeah, talk with him yourself."

"Can't you guys just tell me?" Rena pouted and looked at them. Elesis refused to tell because she hugged Chung after getting flinched by the thunder. What Lu saw was private to her, she believed he didn't want anyone to know he was crying. As for Ara, she couldn't tell them that he was going to crossdress tomorrow for the sake of their money.

Aisha giggled and looked at them. "He was my best boyfriend so far. Just trust me, Rena."

"Oh, did you guys talk about it?" Nisha asked in curiosity. Her mirror was floating around Aisha.

"We did. He's a dummy like usual, but at least he was the one that tried to fix the tense atmosphere between us," Aisha answered with a sad smile. She was still hurt by his rejection, but the talk made her feel much better. Of course, she still remembered his words about Nisha liking her. Was he joking or not?

"Isn't that nice? Then you can work with us without a troubled mind tomorrow," Nisha smiled, grabbing her mirror to make it clear what she referred to as "us".

Knock, knock!

"Sorry. Is Nisha asleep?"

Nisha smiled wider and stood up. "I'll be with Chung for a while. Don't wait for me," she said before she left the bedroom.

"Did he hear us talking about him?" Rose asked with a concerned look.

Eve laughed nervously, remembering that Chung somehow knew she was eavesdropping the conversation between him and Aisha in the backyard. But knowing him, he wouldn't eavesdrop like her. "He might hear it by accident, but we should be fine," she said to calm them down.

Rena giggled and showed her potion stock to the girls. They might be busy tomorrow, but potion will always be used.

Chung came back to the second floor with Nisha. The boys were circling up around the Ouija board. "Nisha, I don't think Laby should be involved," Raven said with a worried look. The boys already heard about Nisha knowing the Ouija board. But for Laby to see such things might disrupt her mind.

"It's fine. She's curious," Nisha replied and joined the group.

"We should try playing with Jelangkung," Noah said as he tapped the board with his finger. The others wanted to know what he was talking about, but Ain already glared at the kid, asking him how he knew about it. "The kids would play it for fun. I got invited once."

"So what's that thing? Is it a board?" Elsword asked in curiosity. He didn't expect an innocent looking kid to be playing with spirits, but it actually happened. He found this exciting. Even Add was interested in this.

"It's a doll. Its head is a coconut shell and attached to a cross wooden handle, dressed with clothes. A writing tool is tied at the end of the handle, with a key pendant on its neck," Noah explained with, surprisingly, a happy smile. "Three people will hold the handle together, then sing the ritual. A spirit will possess the doll and we can ask them questions. They will write their answers!"

Ciel raised his one eyebrow. He understood how it worked, but something was definitely wrong at the finishing process. "How do you get the spirit to leave?"

"Just ask!" Noah chuckled, recalling his moments with the kids. "Sometimes they don't want to leave, though."

"If you're not busy tomorrow, get the doll. We have to try it. I'll handle it if the spirits refuse to leave," Ain said with a serious look. It surprised Nisha, but the boys already knew he could be controversial to his own beliefs.

Aisha woke up in the middle of her sleep. She had too much on her mind lately, she couldn't sleep well. She got up to the bathroom, then she went to the backyard. She wanted to look at the stars, but she found someone too familiar instead.

"Haha! Why are you still here, myself? We could go away at any time, we have enough magical power now. We could find a way better person than Chung and I know you agree with me!"

The person was none other than Aisha's own doppelganger. It just bluntly said everything that she kept hidden within herself. She had always wanted to finish her journey, she wanted to have another life. She wanted to start her new romance too.

She smiled, grabbing the hand of her doppelganger. "You're right, me! Let's go out now."

Both of them blinked away from the house, going into an empty dessert. Even though it was night time, the place was lit by the moon. The light was dim, but it was enough to see most of everything. Aisha smiled, facing her doppelganger. The doppelganger also smiled, being happy that Aisha listened.

Smack!

Aisha knew very well how bad her defenses were when she got excited. She sighed, staring at her doppelganger on the ground. "I'm staying with my friends, me. Shut up."

Alter Ego: You will find your dream self for the day! So many plans can be made. Hm… what should we do today?

Ciel woke up early like usual, even though they spent the night using Ouija board. He was a bit concerned about Ain's idea of letting Noah get a Jelangkung. If he despised demons that much, why did he want to play with spirits? He might need to talk about it with Lu.

When he walked down the stairs to the kitchen, he noticed a lot of his friends resting in the living room. He even saw himself waking up and starting to get up from the floor.

If this was a magic spell, he should be scared, but the first thing that came to his mind was the girls' potions. He exchanged looks with himself for a while. "I'm calling you by my title," Ciel said as he narrowed his eyes.

His doppelganger shrugged and smiled. "Alright. Sounds fine to me."

"I'm going to make breakfast. Do you guys need food too?" Ciel asked as he opened the fridge to get the ingredients.

"Nah, we don't eat. I'm going back to sleep," Abysser answered and turned around to go back to sleep on the floor.

Ciel heard footsteps getting louder, but he didn't bother to look. It would be one of the doppelgangers anyway. He wouldn't interact with them if he could.

"Can I help with something?"

Ciel sighed and turned around. Chung was smiling at him and waiting for an instruction. He was certain that Chung was still sleeping, so this must be the doppelganger. And… he was also certain that Chung can't cook. "Can you wash the ingredients?"

Because of the help, Ciel finished cooking earlier than usual. He didn't let Fatal Phantom do the important part, though. "Was I helpful? Do I get praise?" Fatal Phantom asked with sparkling eyes and a smile.

"You were very helpful, I appreciate it. Thank you," Ciel replied with a smile. Fatal Phantom was still looking at him, so he patted his head with the hope it was the praise he was looking for. The doppelganger smiled like a kid and left to the living room.

Click!

Ara went out of the girls' room. She already prepared herself for work. She yelped in confusion and rushed to Ciel. Her body shivered in fear as she looked at the doppelgangers in the living room. "You're real, right? What's happening?"

Ciel raised his one eyebrow. "That should be my question. What were you girls doing?"

Ara gulped and walked toward her doppelganger, who was sleeping on the left side of the sofa. With Ciel's advice, she would call her by her own title. Shakti opened her eyes slowly. She blinked her eyes several times, trying to stay awake after her sleep. "Is it morning already? I'm going to strip and get fresh air—"

"W-Wait, don't!" Ara whispered in panic and held Shakti's hands. Her cheeks turned red because… Shakti was part of herself. She knew why her doppelganger would say such things. "We just got kicked out of our previous house because of an indecent act. Don't do it please!"

"Hm… Alright, me. I'm doing it after I talked with everyone," Shakti replied lazily. Ara sighed in relief, knowing that she could make an agreement with herself.

Chung and Ain came down not long after. Surprisingly both of them didn't care much with what they had seen and approached Ara on the dining table. The current four awake people were having breakfast together while discussing what to do with the doppelgangers. For today, they will call them by their titles.

"I'm with Ara. I don't care what they do as long as they don't cause any troubles," Chung said, agreeing with Ara who already let her doppelganger do whatever she wanted with a bit of rules.

"I'll be here since Lu doesn't need me for today. I can take care of them," Ciel said with a disappointed look. Lu always called him for almost everything, but hearing that she would go alone for today made him sad. What if one day she didn't need him anymore? Will she throw him away? He was alive because of his contract with her anyway. She could break the contract anytime.

"Sadly I will have to trust you with that," Ain said with, also, a disappointed feeling. He wanted anyone but Lu or Ciel to take the job of watching the doppelgangers.

Ciel sighed and massaged his forehead. He completely forgot that Ain was skeptical of them again because of what happened before. Either way, he had to convince Ain that everything will be fine or the angel might screw up on his new job. He had a bad memory, but who knows what would happen? "Fatal Phantom, come here for a second!"

Fatal Phantom approached them with a smile and tilted his head a bit. "I need to make sure nobody causes any trouble for today. Will you help me?" Ciel asked as he pointed at the doppelgangers, who were still sleeping in the living room.

"Of course! I want a head pat later," Fatal Phantom nodded his head with a wide smile and sparkling eyes.

Ciel pointed at Fatal Phantom and looked at Ain, who looked a bit relieved with it. "You can trust him, right?"

Thankfully Ain trusted Fatal Phantom. The three of them left for work early on their first day. Wait, come to think about it, where's Richter?

Raven came down from upstairs. Ciel quickly explained the situation to him. "Ah, then my clone would be troublesome. Feel free to kill him," Raven replied calmly as he walked to the dining room.

"I might be half demon, but I'm not that evil, man…" Ciel sighed and forced himself to laugh. He could kill people easily, but he wouldn't do it. Not anymore.

The situation became more complicated when everyone was finally awake. It was so crowded and confusing. "I'll bring my clone with me," Elsword smiled and grabbed Immortal's hand by force. Eve, knowing what would happen, followed him from the back.

As she expected, they went to the empty space. Immortal was spouting a lot of negative thoughts, which was what Elsword had always thought but he refused to think much about it. Immortal chuckled, grinning and narrowing his eyes at Elsword. "It's fine to kill people once in a while. Most of them are useless anywa—"

Familiar blue spears stabbed through Immortal's body; one in the head, one in the abdomen, and one in the legs. The blood splattered into Elsword's body, even Eve got some of it on her body. It was too sudden, even Elsword was still holding Immortal's hand in shock.

"Ah, my bad. It's my reflex!"

Eve turned her face to the voice. It was Ain approaching them with a smile and happy feelings, which was Richter. Elsword was still looking at his doppelganger, not paying attention to Richter at all. "You're lucky you only killed the clone," Eve said with a threatening tone.

"I have to! I hate Dark El," Richter laughed it off and looked at the dead body. He was still smiling, satisfied that Immortal was… not immortal. Whether Ain always wanted to kill Elsword or not would be a different matter.

"Hm… Alright, I guess. I can use this to spread rumors," Eve smiled and looked around her to see more interesting stuff.

Elsword forced himself to laugh and faced Richter. "So you're a clone? Do you have a bad memory too?"

"My memory is insanely good," Richter smiled proudly. "I even remembered when we first met in Ruben Village."

"Oh, that's interesting. I have a lot of questions," Eve said with a smirk. She would use this opportunity to get information out of Ain, including… maybe their new friend. They walked away from the field, finding a place to wash themselves from the blood. "What can you tell me about Noah?"

Richter's eyes widened and nodded in excitement. "He got almost the same energy as the Moon Master. Pretty cool, right?" he said with a proud smile. He clapped his hands once and pointed at his left. "I'll get new clothes! I know you guys want to take a bath together at least once. Maybe on a random pond somewhere in the middle of this desert? I saw one on that way—"

Eve slapped Richter's face. "I don't know how you get that information, but we'll meet in the pond later!"

Elsword's face turned red, but he couldn't hold his excitement. "Is this fine?!"

Lu walked to the cafe alone. She was with Ciel almost all the time. When she said she'd go alone, she thought she would be fine, but she already missed his presence. It felt nostalgic in a bad way. She could communicate with him through her mind, but it didn't feel reassuring. With her clouded mind, she finally reached Cobo Cafe without realizing it.

Ring!

"Welcome, princess! Please, take a seat," Ara, who was wearing a maid uniform, smiled and led Lu to the seat she chose.

After ordering her food, Lu took out her phone and faced Ara with a smile. "Hey, make a short video with me! For my content!" she shouted with sparkling eyes.

Ara giggled and nodded her head. She didn't know what to do, so she let Lu do the talking and just did whatever order she got. But Lu didn't share her video yet, she glanced at the cafe to look for someone else. She narrowed her eyes at a maid cleaning a table. "Is that Chung?"

Ara startled a bit, but Lu was already here, so there was no use in hiding it anymore. She looked at Chung and waved her hand to call him.

Chung came to them with an innocent smile; a smile that they probably wouldn't see outside the cafe. "Is there anything I can help you, princess?" he asked and tilted his head a bit.

Lu squealed a bit and slammed the table, startling Ara and Chung. "I didn't know you can be weirdly cute! Stay there, I need to do it!" she shouted with excitement and recorded another video. Surprisingly, Chung was cooperative and willing to let himself get exposed on the internet. She smiled at her phone and faced her friends. "Where's Ain? I need him too!"

"Um… Ain?" Ara called with a forced smile. When she turned around to find him, the angel was already behind her and Chung.

Ain was wearing a butler uniform, tying his hair into a ponytail. He looked more like a mafia with her serious expression, though. He narrowed his eyes with a straight face at Lu. "What is it? Don't waste my time."

"Video! I need a cool guy too!" Lu shouted with sparkling eyes.

"Alright. What do you want me to do?" Ain asked. Ara and Chung didn't expect them to be together, it was weird to see. Especially when Ain was avoiding Lu and Ciel lately.

The house was currently in chaos. Rena, Elesis, and Ciel tried to stop the clones from whining, but it was troublesome. Fatal Phantom, who said he would help them, ended up helping the doppelgangers instead.

"My god, stop! All of you are making me mad! I have feelings too, for f-ck's sake!" Twilight yelled at them. She would kill them if killing was allowed in the house.

"But I smacked Shakti for you! Are you proud?" Fatal Phantom asked with sparkling eyes.

Seeing Shakti lying down unconscious on the floor made Twilight so happy, she shed a bit of tears. "I'm… I'm so proud of you… Come here," she hugged Fatal Phantom tightly, patting his head gently.

Rena's face turned red from embarrassment, but Elesis patted her back and convinced her it was fine. The elf laughed nervously, walking toward her and Chung other selves. She patted their shoulders and smiled. "Guys, let's do something. We can play a game."

Twilight knew really well how much she wanted to relax. A smile was formed on her face as her eyes sparkled. "Alright, let's swim!" she shouted. A bright light appeared around her, changing her usual clothes to swimwear.

"Huh?! Swim?!" Rena shrieked in surprise. But Fatal Phantom agreed and went out to the pool immediately. Twilight stretched herself, walking and following Fatal Phantom. Elesis went to the girls' bedroom to grab her swimwear because it sounded really fun.

"Swim? I can't f-cking swim! Can we do something else?" Furious Blade asked with an annoyed tone. Raven's clone was familiar to them. He acted like when they used the age reduction potion. He would fight everyone for no reason.

Smack!

Ciel smacked Furious Blade's head with his weapon, making him fall on top of Shakti, lying down unconscious. Empire Sword approached them with a cute pink dress. "I don't want to swim! I don't have cute swimwear!"

Mad Paradox laughed maniacally and took off his clothes casually. Add's clone was also familiar, acting like the time when they were using the class change potion. He seemed happier and grateful with his life, he would even enjoy his time to interact with people.

"Don't show such stupidity in front of my face! I'm staying upstairs," Rose yelled as she climbed up the stairs in anger.

"I admire your bravery! Very cool, very nice, approved by the cutie herself, Nisha Labyrinth!" Labyrinth smiled and made a heart shape with her hands. She blew a kiss to Add as well, making him laugh even harder. Since Nisha never had a name for her class, she told everyone to call her clone by her last name.

Rena closed her eyes immediately. "Use your swimwear!"

"I'll play with Timoria. You guys have fun," Empire Sword waved her hands and walked toward Timoria, who was waiting for Abysser to wake up. She showed a simple coin magic trick.

Timoria's eyes widened in surprise, she clapped her hands in happiness. "Whoa, so cool! Do it again!"

Rena sighed and decided to go for a swim as well. She wanted to relax too, but this might not be as relaxing as she thought. "Ciel, are you joining?"

"No, I'll watch them here," Ciel replied and let the others have fun in the pool. He was worried that the clones already did stuff in it, but he'll leave that to Elesis and Rena.

Elesis came out of her room in her bikini, exposing too much skin. "I don't have normal swimwear. This would do, right?" she asked as she showed her back to Rena. The elf just nodded and entered the girls' bedroom to get her swimwear.

"You look nice," Ciel complimented. He normally wouldn't look at women because they didn't seem cute to him, but Elesis caught his attention.

Elesis' face turned red, but she narrowed her eyes at him. "Thanks, but you're with Lu for a reason. Is that a compliment or you're just a pervert?"

Hearing that made Ciel's face turn red as well. "I'm genuinely complimenting you!"

Elesis laughed and waved her hands before leaving. "Alright then, thanks!"

"Aaah, this is so relaxing!"

Elesis was swimming back and forth the whole time. For someone who wanted to relax, she didn't look like she was relaxing. Twilight and Fatal Phantom were staying on the side of the pool talking about stuff.

Splash!

Add splashed the water at them while Labyrinth laughed. "Don't you have a gun, Fatal Phantom? Can you make a water gun?"

"You guys seem to have fun already," Rena smiled as she joined the group. She put her feet to the water first, feeling the cold water. But Add pulled her feet down, making her fall to the pool. Luckily Rena could swim, she got back to the surface and glared at Add. "You'll pay!" she shouted and drowned Add with both her hands. Labyrinth was still laughing at this and splashed water at Rena.

Elesis saw a familiar person walking to their house. She went to the side of the pool and called them. "Noah! Come here!"

Noah approached her and squatted down to face her easier. "Are you Noah or the clone? I haven't seen your clone," Elesis said as she stared at Noah from head to feet.

Noah tilted his head in confusion, remembering what happened in the morning. "My clone? I've always wanted to be an astronaut. I think my clone already went far away to try to reach the moon," he replied with a smile and raised his hands to the sky. Then he looked at the pool with a troubled expression. "I'll be back!" he shouted with a forced confidence before leaving.

After a while, he came back and slowly got into the pool. He was trembling and holding the side tightly. "You can't swim?" Elesis asked and checked if he could reach the floor or not. Apparently with his height… he couldn't.

"I can't… I-I'll be fine here! Don't worry about me," Noah answered with a forced smile.

Elesis giggled and held the side of the pool too. "I'll teach you then! Move your legs first!"

Lu had made a lot of content on her social media called TokTik. A few people that lived in the town visited the restaurant, making it livelier. All the comments asking Ciel's whereabouts made her a bit lonely. "I should go home. I spent too much time here," she said as she put her phone in her pocket.

"Do you even know what time it is?" Ara asked with a forced smile. It was already 8 PM, the time for the restaurant to close. They were cleaning the place and Lu didn't even notice.

"Wow, really? Let's go home then!" Lu smiled and got up from her seat. She went out of the restaurant and waited for her friends to finish working.

She looked up at the stars in the sky. Did Ciel miss her too? They're looking at the same sky, but they're far away from each other. She was making new content the whole day in the cafe.

Ping!

Rena sent her a message. Her phone kept vibrating as Rena tried to fix her typos. Everything was capitalized to show her excitement.

LU JSLWJFIELRN

IS RHQTW

IS THAG

IS THAT CHUNG?

IN MAID OURGDI

OUTFITTTT?

AR EYOU SEIROSU

HE LOOKS SODCUTE

Lu giggled as she read the messages sent one by one. She typed her reply to Rena.

Yes

Your crossdress fetish

Lu sent photos that she didn't upload to Rena. The elf couldn't contain her excitement anymore and her typos were getting more horrible. She could even imagine the elf squealing, probably being questioned by everyone in the house.

The three workers finally walked out of the cafe with their normal clothes. "Let's head home!" Ara smiled and led the way home.

"Leave the damn demon here," Ain said with an annoyed tone. Lu just laughed it off because she found him entertaining.

"You can always walk the other way! If you even remember where our home is," Ara teased and giggled. She moved closer to Ain and looked at his stoic face. "Do you even remember why you hate our friend back there?"

"No, but she's a demon," Ain answered with, ironically, a serious face. It sounded dumb, it even made Lu laugh even more.

Lu looked at Ara and Ain in front of her. A few days ago, Ara was sad for being left out. She followed her and Ciel just to have something to do with friends. Now she seemed to have found her friend, maybe soon to be boyfriend.

Ah, right, Ciel wasn't with her to discuss this. She would ship her guildies and Ciel would discuss it with her. But Ciel wasn't with her at the moment. Why did she feel so alone, despite her being with her friends?

Grab!

Chung grabbed her right hand. She noticed she was slowly stopping her steps, so she ran a bit to follow the others. To walk next to Chung behind Ara and Ain, at least. "What's wrong, Lu?"

"I miss Ciel," Lu finally said it, with a sad face as well. She thought it would be fun to spend her day without her partner for once. He could still communicate with Ciel through telepathy, but it didn't feel the same.

"He's probably trying to find you. It's going late, after all," Chung replied and looked at the night sky. He was just guessing, but would Ciel actually walk around to find her? Maybe he would.

"He will, actually," Lu smirked and grabbed Chung's hand tightly. She suddenly got a new prank to do. She spread her wings and lifted up Chung's body, grabbing by his waist. "We need to go somewhere!" she shouted and laughed as she flew away.

"Yeah, we'll be home late!" Chung continued, playing along with Lu even though he didn't know what she was plotting.

"Alright, see you guys!" Ara shouted with a smile and held both of Ain's hands tightly. "Don't throw the spears! They'll be fine~!"

Ain sighed and continued to walk with Ara. "What about us? Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

Ara looked around the town. They were working the whole day, they definitely forgot something important. "Hmm… let's grab some food!"

Ain nodded and looked around to find a restaurant. "Alright, I'll take you out for dinner. I found a nice place last night," he said as he grabbed Ara's hand and led the way to somewhere else.

Ara's face turned red instantly, not really visible at night. "D-Dinner? Just us?! How can you remember a nice place but not your problem with Lu?!"

I have no idea what I'm doing anymore
