-chapter twenty-seven-
____________________
"It's the announcement... for the fight... on the third round. We're up against... Legalus Bow..."
[Diner, City of Gaia—]
NAKATINGIN LANG kaming lahat kay Hex na nakalupasay sa table. He looked pale and worn out. Makikita na sa mukha niya na ayaw na niyang mabuhay pa. He never even spared us a glance. Tatlumpung minuto na ang nakalipas na walang nagsalita sa mesa namin.
Until I decided to break the ice.
"Okay..." napatingin silang lahat sa'kin. "Speak up, guys. Who ordered this much food?"
Are you curious about what happened? Let's rewind this chapter to forty minutes ago...
"We're up against Legalus Bow? They're a really strong and aggressive guild. Can we win against them?" tanong ko.
"Halcyon was up on the first round. He'll be up again this time for sure," komento ni Hex. "We're lucky that their priest, brawler and archer won't be present. However, we shouldn't underestimate their members. They're all from OSOK after all."
"OSOK?" tanong ko. "What's that?"
Smoke ba 'yon?
Voldmir looked shocked. "Hindi mo alam ang game na 'yon?! It's the most popular FPS game in the world! One Shot, One Kill!"
"I don't really play games..."
We decided to pass by a diner and eat there. Ibalik ang lakas ng tatlong kasamang naglaban. Hindi ko na maisip kung ilang beses na kaming pumasok sa diner na 'to, iisa lang rin naman ang diner sa Gaea. Parang mga patay-gutom tuloy kami.
Feyre nodded. "So we'll have the same line-up as last time? Or do you want to join Vesta?"
"I'm not... really confident..." sagot sa kaniya ni Vesta.
"You can do it, Ves. The results doesn't matter, it's better if you have fun!" I tried convincing her but Feyre busted it.
"We do need to watch out for our results. Baka nakakalimutan mo ang bet mo sa kuya mo?"
"We can just take one loss here and do our best on the final tournament." sagot ko sa kaniya.
Umiling siya. "No. I think we should cover our win in this tournament. Hindi natin alam kung kaya nating isurvive ang final game. Not that I doubt our skills but because of who our enemies are. Astro will come for us because of you. Your brother will come for us to win the bet."
She has a point.
"That's why we have to be more careful. If Vesta wants to join, she should be ready for a sure win."
Napatingin kami kay Vesta na inosente ang mga mata. "I think you should... stick with having a... priest. Because... they don't have... one..."
"That's right po! We'll have an advantage that way po!" Minerva excitedly agreed.
"Kuya, order na po tayo." Priamos said, tugging on Hex' robe.
Napatingin sa kaniya ang kapatid. "Mauna na kayong mag-order. Restroom lang ako."
"Okay po..."
"Then, we'll stick with me, Sol and Soro?" tanong ni Feyre na tinanguan namin. "Boy armor, ito akin tapos ito then ito, ito, ito, ito. I large size mo na..."
Napamaang kami sa kaniya. "Boy armor?"
"Oo. Siya," tumango siya at itinuro si Priamos. "Oh ito sa'kin ha. May large size ba sila dito?"
