Chapter 44: I should've been the first!
The quiet room was suddenly filled with moans and grunts. The first to wake up was Glimpse Water who checked his surrounding before remembering what has happened.
He still felt groggy until his eyes met big, bright ones. Glimpse Water jumped back, "WTF? Don't scare me like this!"
Oppoa sat on his Glimpse Water's bed and grinned, "You're awake!"
"Anyone could've guessed that."
Glimpse Water touched his head. It still felt heavy.
"Where's father?"
"Father?" Oppoa titled his head.
"The other guy with us."
"Ohh! He's with his highness right now."
"I see," Glimpse Water fell back onto the bed, "What you doing here? Who are you?"
"I work for his highness! I'm Oppoa."
Glimpse Water chocked on his saliva. Frozen Milk's way of naming was too degrading!
"Also, I came here to apologise."
"Apologise?"
"Yea, to he-" Oppoa pointed at Holbe who also woke up and stared at them, "You're awake!"
Oppoa jumped onto her bed, "I'm sorry for hurting you like that!"
Holbe was taken aback, he was like a little dog now, "But I can't be faulted since you're weak."
This was the very first time Holbe was insulted like that. A vein popped on her forehead, "I wasn't using my full power."
"Same!" oppoa grinned.
"What's going on?" Prota also came to his senses and stared at the other two.
His eyes widened and he jumped up from the bed but Oppoa was fast enough to instantly push him back, "Easy now. You're hur-"
"Where's Frozen Milk?" panic was on Prota's face.
"Patience's the key. He's fine, don't worry. He's with his highness."
"Highness?"
"Yea, the guy you guys fought," Oppoa's way of talking was too casual.
"What?" Prota was even more agitated.
"Don't worry! His highness won't do anything. You guys are our guests after all."
"Guests?" everyone was perplexed.
"Yea! So, don't worry!" Oppoa was way too cheerful for this situation.
Holbe eyed him suspiciously, was that really the guy she fought against?
"Oh! You guys must be thirsty! I'll bring you something."
After he left, a complete silence overtook them until Prota threw his blanket away and sat up. He hissed in pain.
"Where you going?"
"To Frozen Milk! You also shouldn't believe what he said."
Glimpse Water was exasperated.
"You should rest. If it's Frozen Milk, he will be fine," Holbe got up and pressed Prota down.
In fact, she especially aimed for his heavily injured parts.
"Lay down," she applied force. Prota felt the blood knocking against his barely healed wound.
"Ok, I get it. Please stop," Prota was finally able to breathe when Holbe got back onto her bed.
"Just for your information, disciple. I haven't forgiven you yet for going off on your own and causing all this trouble."
Prota hung his head, "I know, I'm sorry. I promise I won't do it again. I've reflected."
"Are you sure you should be saying this to us? Do you know how worried Frozen Milk was because of you? How much torture he went through for you?" anger and pain swung in Holbe's calm voice.
She was surprised that she was so emotional. She knew he was the one who regretted everything the most, yet this anger still wouldn't subdue. Prota couldn't say anything or refute, he knew painfully clear he had no right to make any excuses.
"L-Let's just first focus on us getting a bit better and then see father!" Glimpse Water tried to lighten the mood, but it was still heavy.
"He's right," Oppoa came back and shoved everyone a cup of water down their throats, "You'll be able to see him at dinner, so rest a bit. Are you guys hungry?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Ok, I'll check later again. So, let me know if you need anything!" Oppoa left them in the awkward silence again.
Suddenly, glimpse Water heard a BING.
"What you want?"
"Don't forget you owe me."
"What the hell?"
"The price for giving you a power-up."
Glimpse Water hoped he could escape this. His system was notorious in Glimpse Water's mind for being a ***.
"What is it?"
"I'll deduct you half of your charm points."
"Charm points, what the hell's that?"
"Charm points that make you charming to your precious father."
"WHAT?"
Glimpse Water sprung up on his bed and threw a tantrum.
The other two watched him as if he was a maniac.
"There was something like that?"
"Yes."
"Don't just yes me! Explain!"
"Like in otome games, you can raise affection points with the target."
"Since when have you installed this crap?"
"Shut up. You want me to explain or not?"
"Yes, please," Glimpse Water got onto his knees.
Prota and Holbe exchanged glances with each other.
"The more charming you are the more father will like you."
"So, you saying I'll lose half of it?"
"Yes."
Glimpse Water actually started crying, "You can't do that. I bet I'm already his least favourite. Can't you think of anything else?"
"No. This one's perfect."
Glimpse Water knew how vicious his system was but to actually take away his life force? Without his charm points, how will Froze Milk even look at him?
"I've another deal for you."
"…"
"In return for the rest of yourcharm points, I'll show you something really good."
"There's nothing worth my points more!"
"Really? You asked me to record, right? I did so, dutifully until the very end. I can tell you something really entertaining happened at the end after you passed out," the system had a hard time to suppress its laughter,
"I promise, it's worthwhile."
Glimpse Water thought and thought until fume came out of his ears. Should he risk it or not?
"Your precious father, I wonder what he did?" his system sang in his mind.
"FINE! Exchange them all," Glimpse Water shouted and sobbed at the same time.
"Don't look at me like that! I'm a broken man," Glimpse Water barked at Prota and Holbe.
"I think all three of you should see it. Get any sort of metal thing and I'll project it onto the wall."
Glimpse Water had to wait eagerly until Oppoa showed up and asked him for something like a metal cube.
It was already dark when the system transferred the data into the metal cube.
"You can really do that?"
"There's nothing I can't do ahahaha!" the system was stroking its own ego, Glimpse Water hated it.
Finally, Glimpse Water touched the cube and magically the recording was projected onto the wall.
"What is this?" Holbe and Prota asked.
"A recording. It shows what happened after we passed out."
"You can do that?"
"I-It was a present from someone, it can only do it once…"
The recording played and they saw how the villain wanted to strangle Frozen Milk on the sofa again. The three of them gripped their bedsheets.
But then… then… they saw it.
They saw it all.
To the very little detail.
Not letting anything unnoticed.
They heard everything.
Every tiny little sound.
They replayed it again and again until their limit on sanity broke and they raced out of the room, threw a tantrum everywhere they went, dragged Oppoa to show them the place until finally, they arrived at dinner.
"You!"
"You!"
"You!"
Nothing could describe this furious, raging feeling they felt.
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"Mine!"
"You just like that- "
Frozen Milk was perplexed, and the villain was unfazed.
"How dare you take advantage of him like that?" their chaotic and powerful voices created a tsunami in the large dining hall.
Frozen Milk watched them lose their minds and he felt a bit scared. It seemed like their wrath was directed at the villain but why did they have to send him occasional death glares too?
Suddenly, Frozen Milk found himself thrown onto the ground and tugged into all directions.
They were all insane! All insane! Frozen Milk chanted in his head.
Frozen Milk's system chatted with Glimpse Water's system and both of them sneered.
Then all three exclaimed at the same time, "Kiss me! I'm the one who should've kissed you first!"
