"Hello, Rise!" Thalia was as energetic as ever; her earlier graceful deanor was almost broken. A woman at her side stepped up and smiled at the group before looking at Thalia.
"Guild Leader..." she called, although in a whisper. However, everyone was an Esper, so it did not have much of an impact, and everyone heard it.
Thalia turned at her, and pursed her lips. Her posture returned to one of elegance.
If she was not talking, she would really be the epito of the word pure angel. However, everyone who knew her... Thalia was really soone with a few screws loose as well.
No wonder she was Rise’s fan.
Thalia smiled foolishly again the mont that her gaze landed on Rise, seeing his face made her day already!
"Rise, hello!" She repeated the greeting again.
Her enthusiasm towards Rise was obvious to all, not to ntion Kamille. The woman who called for Thalia, who was also her Vice Leader, and the other won behind her almost face-pald.
In fact, each one of them was aware of Thalia’s fondness or... obsessiveness for Rise.
This was bad... Their minds collectively thought of this.
To make it not seem he was rude, Rise responded to her. In actual fact, he was doing this to make Kamille more jealous!
"Hello, Guild Leader Thalia." Rise greeted back, he imdiately sensed just how Kamille seed to squeeze him more as if scolding him silently.
Rise’s lips curled up, but he still leaned his weight to Kamille, giving a sort of assurance. Technically, he knew he was playing with fire any mont now. Who made Rise not afraid of fire? He would even make himself the fuel to ignite the fla further.
As expected, Thalia’s expression grew more excited after Rise greeted her. If not for her Vice Leader at the side, she might expose herself even more.
The group then decided to take the elevator together, since it was more than enough for them.
At the back, Rise and Kamille were beside Thalia and Sheena, her Vice Leader. Rise was also familiar with Sheena, a plant-type Esper.
Kamille was between Rise and Thalia; obviously, Kamille did this on purpose. He also deliberately made Rise hidden in his embrace, and the tight space was a good excuse.
Thalia often stole glances at Rise, wanting to speak with him, but Kamille was the biggest obstacle, not even letting her talk with Rise much less see him! So infuriating!
Sheena, looking at this, could only hold Thalia’s arm; otherwise, what should we do if she suddenly beca crazier and decided to just fuck it and talk with Rise regardless of anything.
Thalia was more than capable of that! If Thalia could hear this, she would pout but would be unable to refute it. Her image to her party was not as glorious and elegant as the outside world; it had long been broken.
Kamille was silent, his back was facing Thalia, not even giving any opportunity for the woman to sneak a glance at Rise. His arms securely wrapped around Rise, as though afraid he would escape his grasp.
Rise lowered his gaze, smiling inside.
He truly appreciates Thalia’s presence.
The elevator ride was rather awkward since they spent it in silence; neither one of the parties wanted to speak. As in the first place, they did not know each other at all and so this made it easier to just shut their mouth.
The Evergreen mbers were also on alert, for the sole reason of being ready to stop Thalia if she suddenly went feral and went for her idol.
The sa thing with their side, since they were rather inexperienced, they were sohow overwheld by the beauties of Evergreen guild mbers, and srized that they were in such one small space!
Ding!
Finally!
This had beco their one thought, although with varying degrees. The Evergreen mbers sighed in relief, they could not wait to drag their guild leader away from Rise!
The Dark Crimson mbers were first to step out, followed by the Evergreen mbers. Thalia reluctantly looked at Rise; her hand was already held by Sheena.
"Guild Leader, we have to go." She was truly in a hurry.
Thalia pursed her lips, and glanced at Rise. "Let’s et later!" She waved and was now dragged by Sheena.
Kamille also glanced at her with an unreadable expression. Sheena thought Kamille was weirded out by her guild leader. However, she did not react much, as they all know that Thalia and Kamille ca from the sa institute and thus have known each other since they were young.
Kamille must be more familiar with Thalia than them.
Rise agreed and waved her goodbye. "See you, Guild Leader Thalia."
He sensed Kamille’s gaze on him, but he pretended he did not.
Thalia beca more energetic with that; Sheena almost let go of her.
In the end, they all managed to tug her out of the elevator; soone from the group even needed to help since she was just too strong! While leaving, Thalia did not forget to glare at Kamille.
He was so stingy! Not even letting her talk with Rise.
Just you wait, Kamille.
For a mont, Hayes and the others fell silent, blinking as they watched Thalia being dragged away by her Guild mbers. They sohow needed ti to process that.
Hayes already had an idea since he also saw the sa scene yesterday.
"You go first." Kamille looked at the others and ordered, "We’ll follow you later."
His gaze deepened as he stared at Rise.
Hayes gulped, and he did not ask anything at all! What was there to ask?
"Got it, Guild Leader." He then looked at the three cubs with them and pulled them inside. "Let’s go first!" Without letting them suffer the sa fate as him, the first insider, he urged the three, and they walked towards the venue.
Rise clicked his tongue in amusent. Hayes was truly sensitive, this fool.
He could only look for a few seconds as Kamille had already turned him around, making him face Kamille. They were by the elevator, which was currently closed.
As this was the elevator for the top guilds, which was occupying the top floor, no one was wandering around. leaving the two of them.
Rise lifted his gaze and t Kamille’s hazel eyes, which were staring down at him darkly.
"Guild Leader, what do you want to talk about... privately?" Rise whispered; he deliberately made his voice lower, and the way he called Kamille with that title was not much different from the way he moaned his na just last night.
Kamille’s jaw tightened slightly, just as he was about to answer and move closer to Rise... The elevator behind them opened.
Needless to say, Kamille, especially Rise, was not pleased for their mont to be cut short. Kamille lifted his gaze and looked at the elevator; Rise did the sa.
Inside, pairs of eyes were also looking at them. In front was soone they knew and even encountered.
Mitchell.
