Chapter 170: Vermin
"I have to say, this is pretty nice. I didn’t really have any close friends in my old world," Grinned Akila.
"Well, in that case, we should get to know each other better," Responded Zina with a smile.
"Yeah, there’s no need to hold back, feel free to get as close as you want," Added Laiza.
"Hmph...," Kia huffed under her breath in annoyance, as the four of them strolled through the streets.
It was the 10th of October, 1919, a couple of days since the meeting held at the Capital. After patrolling tirelessly over the last two days, Fyre decided to insist that Akila take a day off, as he was getting visibly worn out.
Kia had taken a day off as well, since she’d been paired up with him and had worked just as hard during patrols.
She mustered up the courage to suggest that they spend the day hanging out and exploring the city, but unfortunately for her, Akila failed to realize that she was effectively asking him out.
He then suggested that they invite the others they’d been teamed up with when they fought the Death Grizzlies, much to Kia’s dismay.
He contacted the others, and Zina and Laiza both agreed to join them. Ferd declined, deciding to continue with patrolling, and as for Raven, he’d figured out what was going on when Akila called him and informed him of the situation.
Not wanting to be a third wheel, Raven made up an excuse and declined as well. But it didn’t really matter, since either way, Kia wasn’t getting the alone time with Akila that she’d been after.
And to add to her disappointment, the other two girls were very clearly expressing their interest in Akila too, but he failed to notice.
