-chapter seventeen-
"Yo! Sol, let's sign up for our guild - wait, what are you two doing?"
[City Hall, City of Gaea—]
"SINABI KO nga sa'yo na hindi 'yon totoo! Bakit ba hindi ka naniniwala sa'kin ha?!" Feyre shouted at Hex who was smirking playfully.
"You wanna know why?" Feyre nodded and Hex pinched her nose. "Because more often than not, lies gets out of your mouth."
"Hoy! Hindi 'yan totoo! I never lie! Not in my whole existence..." she paused. "Well, maybe I did. May mga tao bang hindi nagsisinungaling?"
An 'I win' expression appeared on Hex' face.
"There you have it."
Feyre's nose flared. "Pero sinasabi ko na ngang hindi ako nanghingi ng yakap sa'yo! Sol!" she turned to me. "Tell him!"
"What? I don't know a thing." I innocently looked at her.
Pinaningkitan niya ako ng mata. "I'm not affected by your charms."
Contrary to her words, her face was slowly heating up. Hindi na siya makatingin ng diretso sa'kin.
"But it's working..."
"Shut up, I can't help but imagine the male Sol."
"The male Sol?" tanong ng tatlo.
Nakaupo kami ngayon sa loob ng city hall. Kasalukuyan naming hinihintay ang turn namin para makagawa ng guild. Minerva and Priamos had successfully left their previous party. Wala nang naging problema dahil takot na ulit ang lima na mamatay. Although the mage still glared at me with hatred, of course.
Ang nakakapagtaka na lang ngayon ay ang pagkawala ni Hiraeth. Yes, hindi na namin siya kasama. When Feyre and Hex followed after me, Hiraeth was already gone. Nang itanong ko kung saan nagpunta ay nagulat din ang dalawa. Hindi nila alam kung saan ito nagpunta. Isa talaga ang lalaking iyon sa mga pinakaweird na taong nameet ko dito sa game.
"Yeah, the male Sol - aww, you people never got to meet him. Let me tell you a story of a beautiful white elf who decided to disguise herself as a man so that she can avoid her admirers only to be devastated when her charms affected both genders-"
"I think you've already told us the story by telling us the story you're going tell." wika ni Hex na nagpagulo ng isipan namin.
It was Feyre who dropped the bomb. "Sabihin mo nga, soro, nahawaan ka na ba ng grammar na iyon?"
"Mahina lang ang utak mo."
And they started fighting again. Napapatingin na sa gawi namin ang ibang mga players dahil sa ingay. I took a step back and looked at my members. At kahit ako ay masasabing we look weird together. Hex, a fox priest, and Feyre, one of the lowest-rated player, is fighting. Sa tabi nila ay isang malaking taong nababalot sa armor mula ulo hanggang paa. Sa tabi din nito ay isang babaeng may hawak na gitara at nakangiti lang. Then there's also a hooded figure among them. Kahit na hindi magbangayan ang dalawa ay titingnan at titingnan pa rin kami.
"Ate, do they always fight like that? It looks weird because Kuya never raises his voice to a girl." tanong ni Priamos sa'kin. Isa pa 'to, hindi lang ang itsura ang problema kung hindi pati boses.
"My mother once told me about those type of relationships po. She said that when two people constantly bicker, they're more likely to end up with each other po." dagdag ni Minerva habang nakangiti.
The two stopped fighting instantly. Nakatayo na lang sila't nakatingin sa'min na blanko ang mukha. I smiled at Minerva and patted her head.
"That's right."
