8 New friend

"You see that smoke? We're close to it." Celine said pointing to smokes come from the campfire. "What are we waiting for? Let's kick some ass!" Hector said, he immediately walks forward, "wait!" Celine yelled, Hector ignore her and keep walking until arrows pass his eyes in a flash. "Nevermind." Hector said sweating. "I told you to wait! They always place traps whenever they go!" Celine said scolding him.

"Then. What are we gonna do?" Hector ask, "Well, I'm going in first. If you can, attack the big one. He's the boss." Celine said pointing to a certain old fat man sitting on a throne-like. "Are they always taking that throne-like everywhere?" He ask pointing to the dirty, molded "throne".

"Unfortunately, yes." Celine reply, "Then I'll be going. I think you can go attack from above the camp." Celine said before walking towards the camp, "got it." Hector said. He stares at the trees around the camp. "Do I need to climb?" He ask himself.

"When the boss noticed Celine, he immediately greets her, "My beautiful child! How's the stealing going? I hope you do great. You know I hate failures." The boss tone change in the final sentence. "U-Uh, well. The items I steal have nothing, so I ditched it." Celine said trying not to be suspicious. "Really? You never wrong at stealing. You always got the right thing. Well, thanks to your magic. So tell me, are you lying to me?" Her boss gazes down sharply at her, Celine heart tightens when he ask if she's lying or not.

"Not going to answer are you? I thought I teach you better, now I'm disappointed. Boys. Eliminate her. She's no longer useful." He snapped his finger, Celine can hear the sounds of steels being sharpened. Someone stands in front of her, she didn't dare to look up, she's too scared. 'Hector! Please help!' she thought praying to god he would come and save her, unlike the other who used her.

Chains suddenly wrap itself on the man in front of her, "W-What is this?!" He yelp, he can't move his hands, his grips loosen causing the axe fall down beside him. "Now, now, that's not so gentleman like." Hector said hoping down the tree his sitting on before.

"Who are you?!" The boss shout standing up from his throne. "Hector Shirogane, Fiery Spirit member, ready to fight!" Hector said proudly, pointing at himself.

"Fiery Spirit?! No way! Get him!" The boss ordered quickly. His members immediately obeyed and run at Him "Slow! Like a snail!" Hector taunted, he pulled out a card from his pocket and slammed it to the ground, rock tombs then goes up from the ground. The enemy were knocked back pretty hard that cause them to lost their consciousness.

The boss stares at his fallen members, terrors mirrored in his eyes, he didn't want to accept the reality, "Y-You! A-Are you r-really him?!" He shouts falling backward, Hector approaches him, The boss crawled backwards, until he hit the barrels.

Hector smirk and lean in his ears and said, "Nope, I'm your worst nightmare." He whispered, his voice is enough to make the boss fainted, Hector grins afterward, "just joking tho! I am one and only! Hector Shirogane!" Hector laugh.

"Oh, you've already taken care of them." Zeolite said who just arrived, "you're late!" Hector said making an ugly pouting face. "Stop that." Zeolite said in pure disgust, "Anyway! Are you okay Celine?" Hector ask Celine, who is still in a sitting position.

She answered, her chest tightened, her voice seems a little wobbly like she's about to cry, "I-I'm okay." Hector grinned and give a thumbs up, "Good! We should get going!" Zeolite who just done handcuffing the boss give a nod.

The three walk along the road in the middle night, "Do you have a place to sleep?" Hector ask, "Not yet." Celine answer, "Zeolite! This kid doesn't have a place to sleep!" Hector said holding Zeolite shoulders. "I know. But we cannot simply let her stay at our, we're a BOYS, and she's a GIRL. Got it?" Zeolite said a small lecture for him, "Oh! Ashley's house!" Hector said.

Ashley was dozing off in her room, was about to sleep until she hears a knock on her main front door. She groaned and go downstairs, "Who the hell knock at this hour?" She yawned and open the door, "the hell you need- Zeolite? Hector? And?" Ashley stop finishing her sentence, and ask who's in front of her door. "We'll need your help!" Hector said, holding both of her shoulders, "Ha?"

The boys then explained to the two girls about Celine.

"So you're telling me that, this girl needs a place to sleep?" Ashley ask to clear things out. "So that's why you wake me up for." Theresa yawned beside her. You see, Ashley shouts outside her window, calling Theresa's name, then her neighbor yelled. "SHUT UP! DON'T YELL IN THR MIDDLE OF NIGHT!" Ashley immediately shut up and jump down from her window to Theresa's house to fetch her.

"Yes, so, would you guys agree?" Zeolite ask, "Yea! It'll be fun! Knowing people is fun! Right?" Ashley said nudging Theresa's arm, "mhm, Celine isn't it? Hope we be good friends." Theresa smile, Celine can feel the motherly aura from her, that almost made her tear up, "Y-Yes, please take care of me!" Celine said bowing a little, "now Get out! Get out! Girls only!" Ashley said pushing both Hector and Zeolite out of the door. And slammed the door shut.

"What do you think Shion's reaction would be when we got home?" Hector ask a little scared "Mad, and give us a long lecture." Zeolite reply groaning, "Welp." Hector said, his face shows that vibes 'welp, I'm in danger.'

"Can you tell us more about yourself, Celine?" Theresa ask sitting beside her, "what would you want to know?" Celine ask facing her, "full name, age." Theresa reply, 'somehow her voice is so gentle…' Celine thought, "My name is Celine Agathe. I'm 16 years old." Celine said.

"A younger one! Finally!" Ashley said from the kitchen, "um, why?" Celine ask tilting her head, "she always wants a younger person, to thought of as a sister." Theresa tells her. "I see, I'll look forward to being friends with you guys." Celine said, "also! We're both 18! So address us properly~" Ashley tease, approaching them with snacks in her hands.

"Eat!" Ashley said offering them snacks, "no thanks, I'll eat tomorrow." Theresa said declining her offer, "hee? I would be very sad if you don't eat it…" Ashley said acting sad, "Um… a bit won't hurt.." Theresa said unsure, "just kidding! I know you're on a diet now!" Ashley laughs, "why you." Theresa laughs along.

Celine stares at them and smiles a little, it will be a good years with them.

"Oh, Celine! Join us!" Ashley said noticing Celine who keeps quiet, "ah, right!" Celine smile.
