"Sports Festival Part VI: Gilded Cage"


DEVIS

I can't believe I'm actually going to participate in a game with that dangerous being. I didn't expect his existence here in Dashacad, to be exact.

"Nakakatamad," sambit ko. Bahagya pa akong ngumiwi nang naikamot ko ang kamay sa ulo. Napabuntong-hininga na lang ako sa hapdi no'n bago ipinahinga ang batok sa sofa. "What's with that death glare?" tanong ko sa katabi ko habang nakatingin sa chandelier.

"Panget..." Her voice was serious so I looked at her. "You're not in your best condition so don't be reckless."

"Are you worried right now?" pang-aasar ko para mabawasan ang pagkaseryoso niya.

"It's a warning," she responded seriously.

I patted her head and smiled a bit. "I'll buy that excuse for now."

Inirapan niya na lang ako bago lumabas ng office. Nang ibaling ko naman ang paningin sa harapan, bumungad sa akin ang nandidiring pagmumukha ni Void, mukhang nainggit sa amin ni Sariah. I just acted innocent so he rolled his eyes out of jealousy.

"You better watch the back of your head, Devis. With your current state, that guy can kill you instantly," he said.

"I'm not that generous to let him kill me and not that nice to forgive what he did," I said. "Besides..." Napatigil ako nang biglang magbukas ang pinto.

Mabilis na tumayo si Void para lapitan ang babae pero agad ding bumalik sa sofa nang dumiretso si Nirvana sa pwesto ni Rage. Ilang segundo niya pang pinanood ang dalawang nag-uusap bago nag-"tsk" at tahimik na bumusangot. I feel like these three will face a conflict in the future but I shouldn't say it now, right? I'll probably ruin the fun if I did.

"So? Besides what? What were you saying? Do you already have a plan?" magkakasunod na tanong ni Void para siguro mabaling ang atensyon sa ibang bagay.

I crossed my arms and looked at him lazily. "My plan... I don't have one."

"I guess, I'll have to prepare a coffin for you." Kinunutan niya ako ng noo pagkatapos. "Don't give me that, I know you have one, Devis. Your brain can't fool me."

"I'm too tired to come up with a plan so I decided not to make one," sagot ko.

Bigla naman kaming napatigil nang malakas na bumukas ang pinto. Sa mukha pa lang ni Sariah, mukhang may dala siyang masamang balita. Miski sina Nirvana at Rage ay napatigil sa pag-uusap.

"Mr. Dark reduced the participants just now," aniya.

Now, that's bad. This minor change in the game is critical now that we're going to face IT. Well, Nirvana said she'll handle that guy but I don't think I can just stay still after what happened. I also want to avenge myself so I'll intervene. It's the same case for Rage, I think.
