"That's indeed true," Ro welcomed Lara's attitude with a scoff, "you didn't see the real action yet. This? This is just a breeze compared to what we suffered at his hands!"
"And you didn't yet experience a single training session with him," Peter paused, as if he was thinking of something horrifying, "just wait.. You'll know everything when you see how harsh and strict he is!"
"It's William, not a monster!" Lara didn't believe how they were speaking about William, but her words only garnished her pathetic looks, ones that held much sympathy than support.
"If he was a monster, he'd have sent us to fight out there," Karoline joined the fun, supporting Lara in this.
"Come on! As if staying behind and doing the paperwork isn't torturing enough,Sara rolled her eyes, "I prefer to go out there and fight. Be it monsters or dark masters, I don't care!"
"Me too!"
"I agree with that!"
Many started to voice their support for Sara's suggestion, while Lara and Karolien felt like they were the only ones supporting William in this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Humans are a bunch of weirdos," Karoline puffed her cheeks, while looking cute when she did so. Others laughed at her comment. Even if they grew used to how she acted, her words never failed to drive a smile or a laugh to any of them.
"They are ready," John returned from far, carrying lots of scrolls in his hands, "these are the lists they produced. Let's distribute them among us…"
"Why are you acting so enthusiastic about this?" Even Berry didn't like the task William issued to them, "if you like it this much, why not go and do all of this paper work instead of all of us?"
"And what will I get from doing this?" John's face showed an evil expression, "if you offered me something nice, then I'll definitely do this on your behalf."
"For real?" Berry wasn't the only one to shout like this. After twenty more minutes, John moved away with a big grin over his face, the same grin everyone else had.
He volunteered to do the work of Karoline for free, but the latter insisted on doing this. She was curious about anything related to humans, and grew far interested when most of William's friends didn't want to do this task.
"Phew! John is really a big man, hahahaha!" Berry laughed, and others smiled or laughed as well. They might have paid for things that John asked for, all were quite expensive or useful. But during all this time, they looted too much for them to have their rings filled with numerous valuable items.
So they didn't refuse his requests just to get rid of such a hard task. "Now what?" as they got freed from this boring thing, Sara turned to all. Her face beamed with a bright smile, and they all got what she was thinking about.
"Don't tell me you want to do it like me, hahahaha!" Lang said.
"Come on! We don't have anything to do for now, right? Why not have fun then?" Sara moved her eyes among William's friends, and they all nodded in agreement.
"Let's go then, all the good goods are picked."
"Why not have a little competition?"
"About what?"
"Let's see who will form the strongest team…"
"We won't fight, or else our annoying boss will notice what we did."
"Yes, we can't fight, let's compete on whoever finishes more missions then."
"It's settled," Ro rubbed her hands, before she evilly turned to all the girls in the team, "why not have a little extra spicy thing?"
"Oh, you are an evil girl, hahaha," Berry got what Ro wanted, while Lara asked from the side in puzzlement:
"What are you two talking about?"
"Whoever wins, will get William!" the two said in the same breath, seemingly quite excited about such a crazy bet, "what do you think?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two girls turned to the rest, and all of sudden the atmosphere got a lot hotter and tense. Others could smell gunpowder in the air, and they simply took many steps away, getting themselves out of the upcoming disaster.
"Taking William forever won't do," Sara said in a challenging tone, "let's do it this way, whoever wins among us will stay by his side for an entire month."
"Month? It's William! Since when did you see him going into his room or sleeping in a proper bed?!!" Berry was speechless before shouting in her face.
"Oh, we have a girl on fire here, hahahahaha!" Ro said while winking, making Berry's face a little redder before she turned to her, crossed her arms, and bellowed back, "as if you don't dream about the same thing, lewd girl!"
"Lew… At least I'm respecting my body, desire, and needs!" Ro shouted in defiance, and the two girls had sparks coming out from their eyes.
"Let's do it as Sara said then," Lina suddenly interfered, making other girls turn to her in doubt and confusion.
"Are you sick perhaps?" Ro moved and placed her palm over Lina's forehead, as if she was checking if she was ok or ill.
"What?" Lina shrugged Ro away, "isn't it for all the girls to take part in this or what?"
"It is but…" Sara paused, checking Line up and down.
"I'm a girl!" Lina shouted in annoyance.
"You never showed any interest in him before," Berry said in more doubt, as she was like others, couldn't believe that Lina was going to take part in this contest.
"I had him by my side for a long time," she harrumphed, "why do I need to fight and struggle for someone who is totally with me?"
"You…" other girls got stirred up the moment they heard what Lina said. And the latter didn't stop there, and upped the stakes even, "and drop any dreams about him, I'm the one who'll get him in the end. And one month? What can one month do? Let's make it ten years!"
