64. OutMission (3)

64. OutMission (3)

(The Introduction continued smoothly, with nothing strange happens)

"First, Starting from me, Lex Spifer, I'm excelling on scouting and starting to learn about Hidden Weapon now, while I'm used to on vanguard as tank position too, and as you all knew I can't use magic"

"Max Azela, I'm the only Number from this party, I'm following Venti's defense path, so my position fully on vanguard as a tank, Earth Magic is my specialty"

"Next is me, minna daisuki no Furuhashi Mio desu! Yoroshiku~!"

(…..)

(Un, forget about that, there's nothing happened, NOTHING happened)

"Furuhashi Mio, Rearguard, I'm capable to do some CQC myself, so I can at least protect myself, as for magic I'm able to use intermediate magic too, I'm fond of Ice and Fire Magic"

"Arthur Dragonsclaw, I'm a vanguard too like Lex and Max, I'm more of Knight rather than Tank, I used sword and shield in battle, so I'm a half-tank half-damage dealer, my specialty should be light and protection magic"

"Cleos Sariela, an Angel, a Rearguard, and I'm bad at CQC, as you all know I'm bad at Dark-type magic as an angel, but as a normal Angel, I'm good at rapid-fire Magic"

(…?? What happened?) Lex saw the expression of the other become strange as Cleos introduce himself except for Max and Lex himself

"Why all of you looked so shocked? Is there anything strange with what Cleos said?" Lex asked

"""…."""

"Hm…?" Lex and Max looked even curious as the others kept their silent

"It must be because of my family name" Cleos said with a bitter smile

Looking at Cleos who started to explain about it himself, Mio too thought she didn't need to hold back anymore talking about Cleos "Dear and Max weren't like us, who knew about Hidden World since generation long before us, Sariela family is a big name among the Angel"

"So it's like a noble family?" Lex asked

"More than that, it's more like royalty among the Angel

"wait, if you knew about it why were you got surprised too? Didn't you know it a long time ago?"

"Dear~, you never told me his last name before!" Mio pouted it's like she saying 'how can you hide something like this!'

"Ah? Really? I'm sorry…" Lex replied meekly

"Wow, then Cleos is a prince!?" Max said in shock while staring at his partner "why you never told me before!?" he complained

"It's not like I can suddenly say 'I'm a Prince, bow before me! Peasant!', right?" Cleos shrugged "and with her in my family, there will be nothing left me for me either" he muttered softly

"Ughh, makes senses" Max replied

"Bukukuksu" Mio chuckled "Next, there are two big families among the Angel, First is Sariela's family and the second is MI- !! Oops! I won't say more! Ok! so stop glaring at me like that! I got embarrassed!" Mio suddenly stop explaining as Cleos glared dagger at her, at this point, Lex knew it wasn't something he should touch

(But still, Mi-? what's that? somehow I'm very intrigued by that…)

"Hmph" Cleos shrugged again

(Well, he looks more like a high-class family descendant like this, now that I thought about it he always had a good manner than the rest of us in preparation class long ago)

Then Cleos turned back to Mio with a grin, it seems he thought of something "aren't your house the same, Mio Fu ru ha shi"

At the same time, Mio who looks like she's playing around all the time, become silent, there isn't a trace of the usual Mio, she becomes cold like ice, her eyes glint dangerously "you're right" Mio said shortly and toneless

(Wait! What's this? Isn't this looking dangerous?)

"Maa~, Aria's turn next! Come on Aria said something!" Lex quickly changed the topic

"I'm a Spirit, Aria…. Tearlake" she said with a huge complexion on her face

"""…..""" once she said that another silence descended among them, Mio, Arthur, Cleos all had a bitter smile on their face, it's like they didn't know what to say in this situation, while Lex and Max the same as before they didn't know what those three knew

(heavy! The mood is so heavy! just what happened with these guys' families!?)

but Lex learned from before too, he won't make the same mistake, so he's keeping his mouth shut and Max can read the mood too

"I can be Vanguard and Rearguard, and as you knew about Spirit, I was not that strong. Now we're finished let's talk about the OutMission" then Aria take the lead like usual

***

"Then I ask again, do you all agree for me to lead the party for this time OutMission," Aria said, she said it to all but her main target was Max and Lex, from both parties, it was after they all discussed all the content about the OutMission, what's left was the preparation to carry out the OutMission

"No problem with me, you had more experienced than us, I even want to learn from under you" Max replied

"You always be our leader, did you even need to ask that?" When Lex replied like that, Aria stared at Lex for a few seconds, it's like she wanted to say something about him, but she held it back

Aria and Livia seem similar as the two of them wasn't someone who like to speak with others, however, there's a clear difference between them, if Livia was someone who given up on everything she doesn't care about anything around her she saw everything around her the same as the background, there's no subject in her eyes, she was cold to everyone no exception before Lex showed up while Aria was more like an A.I.,

She replied whenever you asked her, she acts whenever she needs it, she converses whenever someone talks to her, but something is missing on them, it's like they didn't talk to each other, like talking to a machine, they can answer or reply to you but you can't feel it on their toneless voice. It was the same with Aria, she only focuses on what her aim is, and her serious personality makes it even worse

"…. Fine" Aria replied "then let's go to the main hall, we need to prepare for the job, and at the same time we need to make sure where we are right now"

"Where we are?" Lex, Mio, Max, and Cleos didn't understand what she means

(Isn't it obvious we are on the Crimson Eagle?)

And they arrived at the place Aria took them to, Lex felt like he wanted to punch his own self from the past.

(We're on the freaking MOVING ISLAND!? What the heck!)

(The Island moves on its own! No wonder they had a private ship for themselves!) Lex thought their examination on the ship that day

(Arggh!! Magic! Mana! Moving Island! Anything is ok now! I swear I won't get surprised anymore! even if I saw a flying pig migrating from continent to continent!)

(Maa~ it wasn't like I dislike it too, I liked It more like this)

"Ok, we're around Indonesia's sea now," Aria said "make sure yourself prepared and three days later we'll from Indonesia's airport to the designated place"

"Dis-" Aria wanted to disband for today before she thought of something to add on "I'm sure I don't need to tell you how to prepare isn't it?"

The rest nodded with her question

"Ok, and the document needed to use public transportation toward the designated place will be prepared by Crimson Eagle, so you all didn't need to prepare that"

"Then disband," Aria said

***

Three days later

Lex and the rest flew from Indonesia to the closer airport of the OutMission's designated place

"From here we switched to land vehicle" because it was a four people vehicle, the group divided evenly
