EDEN; The Half Elves

Chapter 25_New Member Oicler

"Sssstt, this is important and no one should know it but you and me. Do you remember that upperclassman who once came to the assembly hall and bewitched us all to sleep before?"Ask Zenos.

'Emm, that means Cicilia?'Eden is inside."I remember, why are you asking about this?"Continue Eden.

"What! you really remember that? do you know, I've been going around all over this place looking for him but I found nothing, he just disappeared like he was swallowed by the earth. And...And, the worst thing is that no one remembers anything in the assembly room other than me. What is really going on?!"Obviously Zenos at length.

'Uhhh, I really have forgotten something important. No, I actually don't really consider those events so much that something like this can happen! where did the girl go?! and why do only me and Zenos remember him?!'

"Hey, Eden! say something."Zenos said as he lifted Eden's chin so that the two of them could look up.

"Zenos, I don't really think much of what happened back then. But now that I feel suspicious, is it possible for you to be the same as me?"Ask Eden seriously.

"Actually I have two conjectures about this, do you remember what teacher Hoffen said when someone asked about Halmark's teacher's whereabouts?"

"Teacher Hoffen said that teacher Halmark had returned to the academy, instead of being on his way to the academy. How could he be so sure? as far as the only visible eye can be seen is the forest and the trees, and we just saw teacher Halmark last night, how did he get to the academy now?"Said Eden while lowering her head and concentrating fully.

"And that girl....Is there perhaps a teleportation door to head to the Viothen Vrawl academy in this place?!"Zenos half shouted.

"Or, everything here turned out to be an illusion!"Continue Eden.

"Hey, you left with my brothers, didn't you? are you separated in the middle of the road?"Ask Eden again.

"It's......"Zenos muttered while lowering his head.

"Zenos, what's wrong?"

"I-I don't remember anything from the moment we left the kingdom of Venttrusus. I only have memories of waking up here yesterday, and that uncle...."

Eden flinched, he realized something."The pa-uncle who had thrown me also disappeared huh!"Shouts Eden.

Elsewhere, Gordon's

being busy cleaning a room suddenly sneezed."Hachiu! ahh, who else is talking bad about me in the back?"Gordon muttered as he rubbed his nose.

"Eden, for a while let's keep this a secret first. If there's a new opportunity we'll explain it to them."Zenos turned his body and let out a long sigh, while Eden breathed a sigh of relief because he was no longer in the position squeezed by Zenos' body.

"We better not tell them, after the end of the test we will go to the real Viothen Vrawl academy soon. Didn't you?"Eden patted Zenos on the shoulder.

"I think you have a point, too, alright! it's gonna be a secret for both of us huh?"Zenos smiled warmly and started to step away from the place, Eden walked beside him and said.

"From today we are friends with Zenos, my name is Eden."

"Hmph! you want to boast, right? who doesn't know you in this place?"Zenos said, embracing Eden's neck from behind.

"Geez, you really like to embrace other people, don't you?"

"Hehe~"

****

"Girlaaaaaaa! but I'm Eden's roommate, why don't you allow myself to team up with her!?"

"No way, we won't accept anyone anymore. Can't!"Shouted Refana.

"I beg~"

"Ahh, take off my legs!"Rephana snapped at the head of a man who was hugging his leg.

"Are you really Eden's roommate?"Ask princess Leony.

"Truly troublesome."Ryzen Gumam.

"Re-refana, why don't you just let him join us?"Ask Rin slowly.

"No way!"Shouted Refana while crossing both arms.

"Hey, what is this fuss? why are you so noisy?"Zenos and Eden stepped out of a bush beside them, Eden gasped in shock upon seeing someone sitting on the ground hugging the ankle of Rephana. Eden tilted her head and before long her mouth opened wide.

"Aaaahhhhhhh, it turns out you are my roommate. What are you doing"

"Eden, please help me. I want to be on the same team as you but they don't allow it at all, huhu~" he cried as he stepped closer to Eden, and hugged her while sobbing.

"Hey, let go of Eden!"Jerking princess Leony.

"Wiii!"Shouted Refana.

'Want to be on a team with me!? of course, because that way you can keep an eye on my movements at all times right? I'll follow the flow of his game, after all he looks a bit pathetic.'Inner Eden with a warm smile, and patted the man's head.

'Uh, what is he doing? I want to join this team so I can always keep an eye on you, if I suddenly act familiar like this don't you feel anything? quickly reject me, quickly reject!'His inner being tightened his embrace to Eden, involuntarily.

"Refana, are we really not allowed to add people anymore? we're only six, plus one is okay, isn't it?"Eden stroked the back of his head because it felt bad to ask for such a thing, after all, Refana already looked like a captain to them.

'Ehh?'

"That, but Eden....."

"I'm sorry, but if you don't accept him then I won't be joining the team either."Said Eden firmly.

"Eden?!"

'He!? why do something like this for someone he just met?'Inner roommate Eden with wide eyes.

"God! are you threatening us?"Ryzen asked with a cynical smile.

"Yes, but the decision is in your hands. We're seven or you're five!"Eden looked at Ryzen cynically, the smile that was on the face of the hooded man suddenly turned horrible.

"Hey, what's your name?"Ask Eden.

"Ahh!? na-my name is Oicler, but you can call me O."Answer Eden's roommate while letting go of her embrace.

"Rephana, I wouldn't want to get into this team without Eden."Princess Leony said softly as she lowered her head.

"Ehh, Leony!?"

"Refa, I think we should just let the kid in. I don't want to let Eden go."Zenos smiled mischievously at Eden while blinking his eyes, Oicler who accidentally also saw it felt goosebumps just like Eden.

"Re-refana, please."Persuade Rin.

"Here, all of you, all right. I give up~"Rephewed Refana while raising both his hands.

"DAN!?"

"Refana, you mean you're gonna let that new kid in, right!? we're seven, right?"

"A cute Ahh~ Refaku, you're so good once~"

"Thank God~"

"Haa, thank you so much for the Refana!"Eden smiled happily and Oicler was just a mediocre expression, he just felt a little confused about Eden.

'Why does he look so happy? but I just don't feel anything.'Inner Oicler.

"Hey, new boy!"Shouted Refana.

"Ahh, yes!?"Oicler turned to Refana, then tidied up his clothes and saluted everyone while saying."Introductions right? my name is a handsome Oicler, but you can also call me O. Warm greetings from me to all of you~"Oicler posed coolly in front of everyone, for a moment after he introduced himself to the atmosphere became silent and calm instantly, but soon the sound of laughter broke out.

"Hahahahaha, you're really cute new boy."

"You're weird, hahaha."

"Why is there a flower in

your shirt?"Ask Zenos.

"Sa-salam knows."

"Wahahahahaha, I can't take it anymore."Refana wiped away his tears that flowed out, Oicler's words which he thought were the funniest was My name is the handsome Oicler.

Oicler did not let out any reaction and was silent when he was mocked and laughed at by everyone, Eden stepped up to him and patted him on the shoulder gently with a smile."Now you've become a member of our team so we're automatically friends now, O. My name is Eden."

A cold wind blew and blew the leaves of trees that had fallen on the ground, this is how the start of the creation of the EDEN team. The seven of them will always pass the joys and sorrows together, inseparable, promising to take care of and protect each other, he said, it became a history that the elves could never forget forever.

'Can I be friends with them? no, I mean. Do they really want to be friends with someone like me?'Inner Oicler.

"Hahaha, greetings to new children. I'm sorry I laughed at you, my name is Rephana."

"I'm the Leony."

"New boy, my name is Zenos."Zenos stepped closer to Ryzen and grabbed his neck."And he's Ryzen."

"I'm Rin."Rin said slowly.

"We all welcome you!"Say everything in unison.

'Uhhh, I'm happy. I feel like I really want to smile, I don't want to play anymore. I can't stand it anymore! it's sickening, I.....'

"Thank you everyone, thank you very much, really. I finally got off all those chains, thank you."Oicler said with a warm smile, he wiped his tears that almost dripped.

"Hahaha, you're so crybaby? come here." come here."Take Refana while pulling Oicler's hand.

"Hey, next time you should call me brother. Understood?"Zenos said proudly.

"Hahahaha, you guys are really silly."Laughter Oicler.

'Ohh, so it's like this huh? the original character Oicler?'Eden looked at Oicler who was playing and laughing with Refana, if seen more clearly it turns out Oicler looks very sad.

'My good brothers, what exactly have you been doing all this time? now that he has become one of my best friends, I won't let you touch him again.'Inner Eden with a cynical smile, and again a flash of bright red light appeared in both of her eyes.

'Can I continue like this? can I just be greedy this time?'Inner Oicler with a happy smile.
