Chapter 16 -The Village-
"Mafu!" Luz called, turning to see the albino before smiling. "Im here." Mau replied. Nqrse then suddenly went to the albino's side. "Mafu you look so cute!" He smiled brightly, "Well you all look good too!"
The pink-haired male nodded before Mafu turned to the blond again, "Where's Eve?" Luz tilted his head in confusion, "Why do you need him?"
"I want the cookie you said from before..." He spoke. Luz then remembered about what he said and started looking away while scratching the back of his neck, "You see.. I only dais that to get you to come downstairs..." He didint dare look at the albino in the eye. Something inside him just felt like he was in sudden danger.
Mafu was quiet before sighing sadly, "Well... Alright then..." He looked at the floor while crossing his arms, before walking up to the the blond before lightly smacking him in the head as he huffed. He then felt someone tap his shoulder.
He turned around to see Eve behind him, holding a cookie. Mafu started to smile brightly. "Here, you seemed to really want a cookie." He said, then he turned to Luz and lightly smacked him.
"Why did I get smacked again?" Eve just shrugged, "I don't know, just kinda felt lile smacking you as well."
"I wanna smack him too~!" Sakata called out happily while the other red-head walked close behind. "Me too." Araki smiled. Luz then turned to the purple-haired male, "Shima... Help, I dont know what I did wrong." Shima simply shrugged, "I dont know either, but I wanna help too." He spoke, leaving the blond to run behind his throne from the group.
"No, no smacking." He said, silently peeking out from the throne. Eve then took out his umbrella and started walking towards the blond. "Eve, please no." The male only kept walking before Luz started trying to run but instead was tripped by Eve's umbrella.
He looked up, only to be smacked again. Sakata walked up to him and smacked him as well. Soon enough everyone was just smacking him for fun. "This is abuse!" He yelled out, covering his head. Mafu giggled, "Okay, okay, we'll stop now."
They soon stopped smacking him, of course the smacks were never enough to hurt him. They just sometimes did these things for fun, especially on free days. Luz then stood up before wiping off some slight dust off his shirt and jeans.
"Well, let's start going. But do you all have your weapons with you?" He asked. The group nodded before the blond smiled, "Good, now lets go."
After leaving the castle, the friends started heading to a near trail, not too far from their home. This time, Luz had decided to let the gaurds stay back, besides, he wanted them to rest up. And he wanted his friends to get out and have fun more often instead of always just working.
Eve had even brought a bag of cookies, specifically for the albino. Since Mafu was a kid, Eve had always given him cookies, weather he was happy or not. Despite always wearing a mask, the male still had the ability to smile under his mask. And that was something Mafu had found out years ago when they met. Eve just always had this calm soft voice that can calm someone down.
After a small while of walking, the group had made it to a small village, a place where they usually help out with tasks. Luz cared about the people here, so he always insisted to help the leader of the village to make the area better. And, he did, for a long time.
"Wow... Everything looks.. Much more different than the last time we came." Mafu spoke, looking around the area. There was a bridge leading into the village, but everything looked nicer, and even to the point of looking like a town. At this rate it doesn't even look like the same place anymore, it was turning into a nice town.
There was only dirt, people who were poor, and not to mention alot of diseases were spread around in the area, that is until Luz had helped with the situation.
"Well? Follow me, I wanted to show you something." Luz said, smiling at them. The group them started following him, as they crossed the bridge, they see people with nicer clothes, and well made houses. They soon stopped at a certain one before heading inside.
"Luz.. Why are we at a bar?" Shima asked. The blond simply gave a smile, "I wanted to introduce you all to the leader of the village." The group stood silent before looking at eachother. "Alright then." Sakata responded before giving a smile.
Then, they heard the bar door open, revealing a male wearing neat clothing, something you'd expect from a leader of a village. They hold more money, yet at the same time, it's looking more like a town now.
"Ah, Lord Luz, your here." The male smiled before looking at the group behind the blond. "Who are the people behind you?" He asked. Luz scratched the back of his neck before smiling, "Well.. These are my friends. I hope you dont mind. I wanted to introduce you to them." The male nodded before holding pu his hand towards the group, "Hello, im Suzumu, a pleasure to meet you."
Mafu only stared at the male for a few moments before shaking his hand. After each one had shook his hand, Suzumu had turned to the blond, "May I have a word with you?" Luz smiled, "Of course!" He then turned to his friends, "Make sure not to cause trouble okay?" Sakata then smiled, "Okay!"
After the two had entered an empty room, the friends were left in the side of the room, sitting down avoiding people. The mood felt less exciting to them, until Eve had started handing out cookies. Shima then smiled at the male, "Thanks Eve."
Suddenly, Mafu and Sakata started hugging Eve tightly while smiling. It was clear that the masked male lightened up the mood for the two. "Eve-san is the best~!" Mafu exclaimed before Sakata nodded in agreement. They didn't want to let go of Eve until Araki and Nqrse had to pull them away from him before they could possibly accidentally hug him to death. But in all honesty, Eve wouldn't mind if that were to happen.
After a while, Luz and Suzumu had finally left the room. The blond had then approached the group again before sighing, "We're leaving." Mafu tilted his head, "Why? Weren't we going to-"
"I know, but..- I think it's best we head back okay? I promise I'll make it up for you all." Luz explained before patting the angel's head to assure him and the rest.
After leaving the village, they arrived home safely. It wasn't the very best day they had hoped for but, the friends still believed that Luz would make it up. He always did stay true to his word. The only thing was, is that Luz's stern expression hadn't changed ever since they had left the village. Wich worried them, but they figured it was just probably something Suzumu had said by accident to Luz. It usually happens and the blond would just be his normal self the next day.
But for now they would just sleep, and rest quietly in their rooms for another day to come.
So.. Another chapter completed! The next one will hopefully be out one of these three days since I wont be as busy this week. (At least I hope so.) Anyways, as always, thank you for reading!
