Chapter 4 : Fateful Night (1)
Night falls, everyone's gathered around in the training room, the biggest room in the Hyperion, where everyone prepared everything for a party.
The main character of this party, Seele has finally arrived, in her new, pretty dress. Almost everyone are sticking their eyes to Seele now.
"Woah .."
"So pretty."
"Way to go, Seele!"
Seele is quite embarrassing, for being looked at by many people, this is the first time she have to face such thing. But Veliona pushes her keep going, to Captain Mizuki who is readying for a speech.
"C- Captain." - Seele calls him shyly.
Mizuki hears it, and he turns back to Seele.
"Ah, Seele-" - He was surprised by the unusual beauty of the girl standing in front him. "Wow... You're, pretty." - He smiles, as he scratches his head.
"Thank you, Captain." - Seele blushes a little bit, and then she looks down to the floor.
"Seele, today is cute as well." - Bronya's voice appears.
Seele looks around happily, as she sees Bronya, she calls her name.
"Bronya-neechan!" - She looked happily, and wasn't that much shy with Bronya.
Bronya is standing there, smile at her, an unusual smile from her.
"Anyways, Seele. I am ready for a speech, and as you know from what i've told you before. You're promoting to Rank A. So, please come up to the stage, okay?" - Mizuki coming close to Seele and saying.
"Ah, of course, Captain!" - Seele saying, she isn't shy when talking with Mizuki anymore.
"Uhm. Good girl." - Mizuki gently patting Seele's head before going away to the back of the stage.
"It'll begin soon, Seele, do you want to go with Bronya?" - Bronya asked Seele, to come with her over to the other girls.
"Mhm, sure, nee-chan." - Seele nod as she agrees going with Bronya.
Then Bronya holds Seele's hand, and then leading her to the other girls. Have a conversation there, also wondering why did the Captain decided to hold this party.
And then some music is playing, with someone playing the piano, behind the stage. Everyone paid attention to the stage, and being quiet but excited.
"Thank you, everyone, for gathering around tonight for the party." - Captain Mizuki steps out, and walking to the center of the stair with a smile and holding a microphone. "It seems that everyone here are the Hyperion crew, right? Hahah... But tonight, we have a special guest."
Captain Mizuki saying, and introducing the special guest. And then giving out signals, some staffs behind the stage starting to lower down the big screen. And then, Otto appeared on it.
Many people surprised because the guest was Otto.
"And, Overseer Otto is our special guest tonight!"
Otto smiles, and waving at everyone through the screen, in a friendly way with the friendly smile.
"simp!"
Someone among the Hyperion crew shouted it loud. Otto immediately stopped smiling. And pulls out a gun, pointing to the screen. And acting like that one old, angry Asian man pointing a gun at the screen.
Luckily, someone is there and tries to stop him from shooting the screen.
"Pfft." - Captain Mizuki and many much more people are holding back their laughter, Otto noticed it, he let it pass this time and back to being friendly.
"Okay, so, the party tonight being held, has a reason after all." - Mizuki saying, and looking to everyone else.
"Yes. Captain, your orders." - Otto saying.
"Ah yes. Ahem. As you guys already know, recently, the Hyperion crew, which includes everyone here, has made it to a milestone being one of the most popular crew of Schicksal, being effective at all the missions, many missions has been succeed without casualties. We have done many things, that not every crew out there could have done the same as us. We did it well. The Overseer and the executives appreciated it."
Everyone starts to clapping, when Mizuki stops talking. And Mizuki starts to speak again.
"And especially, in the recent mission, many Valkyries has done well in their works. But the most hard-working Valkyrie, has finally been noticed by the overseer himself. And today, she gets a promotion, from B-rank to A-rank."
"A B-ranked Valkyrie? That's rare."
"How do we not know about her."
"Who is she?"
"Ladies and gentlemen. I introduce to you, our most hard-working Valkyrie who has take part in the most dangerous missions despite at a very young age, with excellent performance at every mission, Seele Vollerei!" - Mizuki smiles, and calls Seele's name.
Everyone was surprised at first, all looked to Seele, but a second later, all cheered for the girl.
"Seele, can you come here please?" - Mizuki asked, while a smile on his face.
Seele knew this is going to come eventually, but even so, right now she is really, really nervous. The feeling of her right now, is like when you're an introvert but the classmates asked you to represent the school project.
She kinda nervously right now. Then someone pat her shoulder.
"Go, Seele, make your own way." - Bronya saying to Seele, with a kind smile.
The smile itself, was enough to encourage Seele, she finally have the confident, and went to the stage, she stepped on the stairs, making her way to Mizuki.
Mizuki gave out his right hand, Seele shakes it with both of her hands, then looks to the screen where Otto is on it.
"Congratulations, Seele Vollerei, for the promotion to the A-rank Valkyrie." - Otto saying, and clapping his hands, with a smile on his face, like a grandma who is cheering for her grandchildren.
"Uh- uhm. Thank you, overseer." - Seele said and then bows a few time due to nervous.
"Seele, congratulations. Here, talk to everyone about how you feel now." - Mizuki saying to Seele, handing her the microphone.
Seele receive the microphone, and she's still nervous, while standing, she's shivering alot, her hands, her legs. Believe me or not, just push Seele a little bit and she'll fall for sure.
She holds the microphone, looking at everyone, preparing to say something but her mouth shuts after that, it repeats for a few times, she is sweating alot. Her eyes are looking over to everyone standing there looking up to her.
The longer it takes, the more nervous she feel. Slowly, her face turned red as well. She wished that time would leap forward to the point that she finally got out of this situation.
'I need to say something... If this keeps on, it'll be embarrassing... Think, Seele, Think! We must think of something to talk!' - In Seele's mind, she's talking to herself.
"E- E- E- E- E- Everyone.............. Thank you............." - She tried her best to say those words without stopping. She is extremely embarrassing and nervous.
Mizuki noticed it and decided to not to make it hard for her, he decided to make this easier.
"So, Seele. May i ask you, how do you feel now, to be an A-rank Valkyrie?" - Mizuki asked, he draws Seele's attention to himself.
Seele feels less nervous in this way, but it made her more embarrassing, however, she tried to answer his question.
"U- Uhm.. It feels... Just... Wow. Amazing." - She answered with a nervous smile.
"So, Seele... You have only joined the Hyperion crew less than two months, and you've done this far, what push you come this far?" - Mizuki asking again.
Seele was kinda surprised by the question, but she already got the answer.
"Well... Everyone on the Hyperion crew is kind... Everyone is hard-working... Everyone cares for each other... Like a family. Just thinks about that... I tried my best to overcome my fear... And works with the other me... I fought for everyone's smile." - Seele saying.
Those words, lay alot of people's heart, because of how precious Seele is. She is just a young girl, that we needed to protect, but instead, she protected, and fight for us. What a precious angel.
"Thank you, Seele. Thank you." - Mizuki saying, patting Seele's shoulder. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Seele immediately shakes her head.
Mizuki chuckles for a bit, take the microphone back and ask her to go back with Bronya and the others, he can handle the rest.
"Guys, music please?" - Mizuki peeked behind the stage.
"Tonight, we drink for Seele!" - Mizuki said.
Everyone else cheers with him.
"For Seele!!"
And then the party, well, started with the music, everyone vibing to it. And then went to have some drinks, and regular things you saw in parties. Including dancing.
Everyone is having lots of fun, but unfortunately. I have to cut this scene.
Simple reason : i have never been to parties before.
Reasons : i'm an introvert.
