Presage Flower: Sapphire'S Sorrow

Oakrose Eve

Eve Oakrose (art by Ocean)

　

Petra came out of the bathroom in her new school uniform. The student's transfer letter had already been taken care of by Sky while occupying Petra's back last night, so today she just needed to chat with the teacher in the office, then go to class.

"Petra, come here." The sky called out to Petra while taking a few spoons of wheat, meat, and egg rolls, "Eat your breakfast."

"Eh?"

The sky put Petra's breakfast plate on the floor, just below the table, next to the Sky's feet, it was clear that this was a way of feeding the pet, and Petra, her cheeks flushed red.

"Don't put your hands on it, eat your breakfast straight away."

"He-h? A-h, yes."

Petra walked towards the dining table, then knelt beside the feet of Heaven, after which she began to eat like a pet eating the food her master had given her.

"The situation down there?" Ask Sky.

"Haah-haahh, glek." Petra swallowed her food while panting, this position was enough to burden both her knees and hands.

"All right." Answer Petra.

"Good."

The sky stood up, the Ocean did not dare to look her brother in the eyes, then she walked into the room and picked up her bag.

"So soon finish your meal, we'll leave immediately." Sky Words.

The ocean finished off her food, she left no food on her plate except for a few points of wheat attached, while Petra was still with a piece of her flesh

Samudra took his bag, he approached his brother who then rubbed his sister's head.

She smiled getting this kind of treatment from her brother and wished for her brother to remain like this for a while.

"I'm done." Petra said while kneeling beside her plate.

"Put it in the sink with mine and the Ocean."

"Yes." Yeah." Petra nodded, then took out her plate that was on the floor along with the one belonging to the Sky and Ocean that was on the table.

"Come on."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Hm."

Once they got to school, people started whispering while glancing towards the Ocean, not hearing what they whispered.

"Eh, you, Ocean right?" Ask one of the boys who came to the Ocean, "I saw your action yesterday, so cool!"

"Thank you." Answer the Ocean while bowing his head, "You?"

"Riyo Althaf, greetings yes."

"Greetings." The ocean smiled at the man and followed his brother.

"I take Petra to the teacher's room, go to class."

"Yes." Yeah."

The sky went into the teacher room, many teachers turned to him and it seemed that they were shocked, because if there was a Sky in the teacher room, it meant that there was a problem that was going on.

"What's up, Sky?" Ask Asabi.

"Petra Andersen, new student."

"Oh, the new student turns out." Bu Asabi said with a relieved face, as well as other teachers who seemed relieved because there were no other problems in the morning.

"Come here, Mr. Iwatoji will ask you a few things about the file."

"Good."

Petra walks after Aasbi's mom to Iwatoji's desk. The middle-aged man wearing thick glasses with barely connecting eyebrows was aware of their existence.

"Ah, who is this?"

"Petra Andersen, sir. I'm a new student." Petra.

"Aah!" Petra let out a little scream as Sky lowered her head forcefully, the thrust of her hand making Petra's body bend down to a 90˚ angle.

"Sky! What the fuck?!"

"Master Sapphire, go to room-"

"Petra, get in the habit of bending over acquaintances." The sky pulled his hand and folded the two in the chest, "Get used to good behavior."

Petra returned to the original position of her body that had bowed, "What a nobody, the sky is my guardian."

All the teachers who pay attention to them are now returning to their respective work focus, some are writing something in a book, and the rest are just playing mobile phones just reading new news.

"Then." Mr. Iwatoji said as he took off his glasses, "I don't think it's necessary to ask Ms. Andersen about the file."

"Eh?" Petra was startled, her wide crescent eyes widening, "What's wrong?"

Mr. Iwatoji nodded, "It's okay, miss Andersen as per the data, will be studying in room 3. It's your walimu's arranged study program."

Mr. Iwatoji gave a piece of paper with a schedule and where the class took place, Petra only realized that Pertang Pertang Negeri High School gave freedom to students to take certain subjects until graduation.

"Thank you, sir. I'll take care of it." Petra said while bowing.

"Together."

"Be careful, yeah."

The sky without saying anything turned around and walked out of the teacher's office, Petra who followed him was eager to ask Sky something, yet she was too afraid.

"I chose your study program." Sky said as he continued walking, "Economics and humanities right?"

Petra nodded with a smile so wide that her dimples looked so sunken.

"Sky, could you ask for a minute?" The princess suddenly came from the corridor and touched the shoulders of the Sky.

The sky nodded, "Later. I detailed it in the email last night, you should have read it."

"Although so, Lang-oh? Who'sis this?"

Petra lowered her head, "Petra Andersen, the new disciple."

"Ah, no need for that, I'm still in 2nd grade." The princess lowered her head, "I am Sri Sudarsih Kusumaning Putri, call me Princess."

"Please help."

"Yes, please help."

The sky screeched, then turned around and walked towards the language room, "Jam 9, mabes."

The princess nodded then walked away from the corridor towards her classroom.

"Eh, Sky, wait a minute."

The sky stopped, "Hm?"

"I'm new, can you show me where Class 2-13 is?"

"Floor 2, second from the left staircase."

Petra bowed deeply with her hands folded in her lower abdomen, "Thank you."

After being in a boring class for the Sky who was like a god of knowledge, he left the class without asking any permission from the teacher in his class.

Some students were envious of her for often ditching classes but remaining at number one, followed by Ocean.

The sky walked towards the master teacher room, he wanted to meet the student teacher, Qiu Tong.

"I want to go outside of school."

"A-ah, is the teacher's permission in the classroom?" Ask mr. Tong.

The sky was silent, he looked at the teacher in front of him with a look of disdain, the same as when he looked at a fly circling dirt, thinking of using it as a place to lay eggs or just ignore it.

"Alright, but come back before the last class."

The sky turned around and immediately went towards the art class, today, the Princess is taking a dance class.

Yet he danced with a lockdown, punch, jump, salto, even with a few shouts.

More like mixed martial arts training than dance.

Brak, the sky opened the door and walked into the classroom without caring about the surroundings.

"Sky! What are you doing in this class? Back to your class now." The dance teacher in class.

"I'll take the Princess first." Said Sky while raising his chin, gesturing for the Princess.

"Mom, I'll let you have a minute."

"Huh, go there."

Sky and Princess walked down the aisle, Sky wanted to go to Ocean class to pick her up, but it turned out that it was better for her to contact him with a cell phone.

"Hello?"

"Go to the school gate now."

The sky turned off his phone and immediately went to the school gate, there, parked a familiar van.

"Hey, you two." Said Yuri who was waiting in the car as Sky peeked inside, "What great plan is it going to bring this time, Archer?"

"Shut up and wait a minute."

The ocean ran from the greenhouse towards the school bag, her hair swaying in all directions, until she reached Heaven and Princess.

"Duh, it should have been picked up by dong."

"Fatigue?" The sky took water from the dashboard of the van, "Drink this."

"Hey, let's go to the ones who have."

"Come in."

"Thank you."

Inside the headquarters, it was already waiting for those in the team, including Panda, Harpy, Miru, and Dragon.

And as usual, they circle the table with a 3-dimensional map on it.

"So, Archer?" Ask Panda.

"This is my sister, Samudra, code Ranger."

"Sorry to bother." Said Samudra while bowing his head.

"Then? What's the matter?" Harpy asked, "Major-scale operations again?"

"The top side I've told you to do it, precautions have already begun in time." The sky shifted the map on the table to show Harphia's city map, "It's a small operation, listen carefully."

Everything was silent, not making any sound except the sound of breathing that would not be heard.

"Remember the girl I told you to look for the other day, Panda?"

"Archer is getting married? Haha."

"Haha."

The silent sky waited for everything to finish laughing, after realizing the time was serious because the sky was showing a face that was ready to kill anyone even the supreme commander of the military.

"We will use Petra as bait to fish big fish. She would live with me in my apartment and every night, she would go for a walk at night in fancy clothes. This means, Panda will create a false identity for this child and a fake family for him, and they will have to be recorded in the civil registry officially, just for a while."

"Archer?" Dragon asked.

"Yes?"

"Why do we need a civilian identity? Fake family?"

The sky nodded, "So far, the victim killed by the virgin is a young, beautiful, clever, good-quality girl. Last time, they got a victim in Tanpel town, I warned the bosses to secure their parents and all their families, but what if there was a beautiful girl, then, quality is in the town of night? What do you think is gonna happen?"

"Umm, did they kill him?" Answer the Panda

The sky nodded, "Long Town, Flamboyant area, at 11pm, get your gear ready and don't fail."

Everyone who attended the meeting put their feet together until it sounded loud at the same time, except of course, Princess and Ocean.

"The three of me are going back to school, and Panda, I want 8 million dollars to be sent to my account, I need this operation."

"For what, exactly?"

The sky turned to Panda who looked at him with a curious look, "For mission success."

"Archer." Panda sighed, "I know that you are always right, you always prove it, friends no one even disputes you, but at least, give details of the purpose of using the funds."

"Tell me to the commander, he'll know."

"Huh." huh." Panda complained, his breathing came out very heavily, nodding, he said, "I'll try."

The sky rushed out with Yuri and her sister, she was going to escort these two brothers back to school.

"Change the plan, we're going to the apartment."

"Huh?" Yuri turned to the Sky with a shocked expression, "Truth?"

"Okay, we're going to your apartment."

The journey feels very fast, the streets are empty at times like this, all are busy working in offices, shops, studying at school, campus, or other activities.

The government has a policy of funding those who do not have a job as much as 500 Republican Dollars each month, and only enough to pay for a residence for 380 Republican Dollars a month, he said, while the cheapest food price in the Chinetown area is 12 Republican Dollars, that means, an unemployed person can only eat for 10 days only, that is if he is able to withstand being hungry all day.

This is of course the concern of the whole world, where there is no poverty in this country, all because of the system of government and the cabinet members who never corruption, and the time, Marcus Collum, and, proven to be corrupt and get exile on the island of Herder, an island without animals, plants, there is only empty land and wild grass, as well as some insects.

If lucky, he can make a fishing rod and connect life. Otherwise, he would be rotting in this place.

Arriving at the van in front of the apartment, Sky and his sister got out of the car.

"Thank you, brother, umm."

"Lexandr Yuri Rohan, call Yuri."

The ocean bowed its head in a sign of gratitude, "I am the Sapphire Ocean, all call me Ranger."

Yuri smiled, she did not expect from the Sapphire family that she knew through the Sky only contained people who were ignorant, arrogant and ruthless, it turned out that there was a beautiful and good girl like the Ocean.

"Sister, aren't we going to school?"

"You're already in the room spending monthly money to buy books, it shouldn't matter because you're also learning according to the subject syllabus."

"Yes, but I need to be absent."

"You forgot? Our high school is unique than any other, it's not absent, it only takes perfect grades on exams, and they have to stay in class to understand all the theories." Sky said at length to his sister, "Except my genius brother."

Samudra smiled, rarely saw her brother speak at such length, it seemed like his mood was good today.

The sky opened the door, he went straight into his room and opened the search engine, his curious sister sitting on the mattress behind the Sky.

"Hunters? What's for?"

Hunters are mercenaries who can be recruited or contracted through illegal sites using crypto-currency as a payment currency. They were highly skilled, trained in their field, especially if they were military graduates and had several years' experience in the world of bounty hunters, and Sky, would recruit one.

"We're short of people." Sky opened the police site and showed the filtered members' names, "They're all still like babies compared to the real hunters."

"I don't really understand, but I do."

The sky shifted its monitor screen to search for the desired hunter. They don't put up pictures of their faces, they embed a lot of videos while they're in action, some record them using helmet-mounted cameras, or ask a colleague for help recording them while in action, with this, he said, each prospective customer will understand how the quality of hunters they will recruit.

"Hello, my name is Tulip, and tonight, I'm hunting for a corrupt in the United Kingdom. His name is Deve Faulkner, code Chicken." He said in a disguised voice, it was not clear if he was a man or a woman, then he shifted the camera and appeared around him, "Right now, I am on top of the Kloe skyscraper in Hendan city, and will use Juggernaut number 886 for roasting Chicken. It's all set, just waiting for the chicken to fall into the trap."

The scene was cut off, it seemed like he had slashed it to shorten the time.

"Chicken approaches the trap, detonating the device in 2.1." A huge explosion occurred above the building passed by Deve Faulkner, causing him to fall down in shock, "Crippled Matter, low-temperature wind speed of 34 knots, gravity of 10 meters per second squared, earth rotation from west to east, X 2 dot and Y 4 dot, start roasting chicken."

The camera moved from using a three-foot brace, to a camera mounted on a telescope mounted on his rifle, showing targets and ambient conditions.

The sound of the trigger is heard, but it does not cause an explosive sound at the end of the sleeve because it has been installed soundproofers. Deve Faulkner's head was shapeless, the bullet he fired hit the target with great accuracy even without the use of smart bullets like Harpy and Garuda used.

"The mission objective was achieved, taking photos as evidence, now it's time to escape."

He changed his camera to a first-person camera, so that what Heaven saw directly on the monitor was what the hunter saw right then and there, then he unloads the rifle and puts it in a suitcase that is worn on the back, after which he opens the tablet.

"Floor 12 confirmed no one."

The rope that he had prepared was used to get down from the roof of the skyscraper more efficiently, the glass on the 12th floor of this building had been pierced before the mission, so he could enter easily.

"Floors 1 to 8 are filled with police, continuing the escape mission to get out of the building."

Several policemen were already on the 9th floor and were continuing to search for the perpetrator of Deve Faulkner's murder as directed by the on-site commander. However, none of the police found the hunter, because he used the elevator to get off, while the police thought the perpetrator used the stairs to avoid being caught, they did not find the perpetrator they were looking for.

"Successful mission, report immediately to the contractor. Call me if you want me to hunt someone."

The video ends, Sky looks very fond of this hunter.

"He's great, brother?" Ask Samudra.

"He can calculate complicated arithmetic without a calculating device and is very careful when blurring." The sky glanced at his sister, "He's a professional."

The ocean nodded, "So, big brother wants to recruit him?"

"Depending, he wrote here that he completed 34 stalking missions, 108 kill missions, 12 sabotage missions and 11 abduct missions. Never failed."

The sky looked at the initial page of this assassin to check the price.

"It costs 8 million dollars for a killer mission. As I expected."

"Isn't that cheap? I got 58 billion from the competition."

"He's a citizen of the Eastern European Union, 8 million Republic Dollars would cost 21 billion Eastern European Pund, that's a lot."

"O-h, I guess why, hehehe."

The sky phone rang, a grill came in from the Princess.

"Hello?"

"Why, Archer, the commander agreed on the 8 million dollars, I've transferred the money to your account, but what for?"

"OK."

The sky closes the call from the Princess and immediately recruits these hunters. He paid as much as 2.1823 Battcoin which cost 8 million dollars more a few cents to the hunter, he had given the address of a computer store in the town of Pertangjang and will meet later at 7 p.m.

"We're going for a walk, come on."

"Don't change clothes first? If you wear this uniform, it can be beaten by the patrol officer." Answer Ocean.

"Totally so." The sky watched his pants, "We change first."

"Yes." Yeah."

The sky was wearing only long pants, a short-sleeved shirt and a flip-flop. Samudra uses trousers, sleeveless shirts, unbuttoned jackets and running shoes.

"Sister, what the fuck are your sandals?"

"Here you go, let's go."

They headed to the computer store and went around looking for some components for the small circuit board. Sky called professor Rizaki, he got his number some time ago.

"Hello, Archer. Can I help you?"

"I want to make a camera that can stick to any surface."

"What do you mean?"

"Camera is affixed to the wall temporarily, and can be observed through tablets."

"Ooohh, interesting. Actually there's been an idea about this, so it might be easier."

"Will I send you the design and the special components, can you make them immediately?"

"Of course."

The sky turned off his phone and went on a computer shopping spree, while his sister was sitting on the sidewalk with a cell phone and a cup of coffee in her hand. After that he put the phone in his little bag and pulled out a book, then he read it.

"Anu, sis?" A man approached the Ocean, he turned to the man who broke his focus reading, "What book's not he reading?"

The ocean put a limit on the last page she read, then showed the cover to the man.

"War of the Damned: Bismarck." Answer Ocean.

"O-oh, I know the book, how about we exchange numbers?"

The ocean was observing this man's face, his two eyes were not looking directly at the Ocean's eyes, his hands were scratching the back of the head, stammering in the initial sentence, he said, it was obvious this man was lying and being timid at the same time.

Ocean crossed his legs with his left foot on his right foot, he signaled that he was not open to something like this, but the man did not seem to understand.

"Samudra, I'm done." The word Sky came out with a paper bag containing a computer component and several rolls of blue paper.

"I'm done here, and I'm sorry, I can't give you my number." Said Samudra while bowing deeply.

"A-ah, it's okay, sorry to interrupt." Replied the man who did not even return the bow of the Ocean.

The sky turns on the motor while riding it, the Ocean sits behind it and picks up the paper bag that is in front of the Sky.

"Let me take it."

They both slide into the military laboratory where professor Rizaki is located, he wants the device to be completed in no time, at least before later tonight.

"Hello, Archer, who is this with you?" Professor Rizaki asked when the two had arrived at the laboratory.

"New member, Ranger."

"Greetings, Ranger." The professor said as he lowered his head, "We'll discuss that immediately."

"I know so too."

They walked into the laboratory of block E number 2, where all the weapons research was conducted.

"It's an old design from a while ago, but when the prototype was finished, the model wasn't that effective."

"What about this?" The sky gave him a blue roll of paper he had brought from the computer store, "The model is like a surveillance camera, but it can be installed anywhere."

"But not if installed, for example thrown, there is a possibility that the camera is reversed?"

"There are two layers of glass, the outermost to stick to, the inside to twist." Sky said as he pointed to the design he made at the computer shop earlier, "It's like a camera that can rotate 1440˚, I mean in all directions."

Professor of mangosteen, "This is obviously a good innovation, but others can find it easily."

"Add a monitor behind the camera, it will show what the camera sees. So when not in use, the camera will point to the wall and when viewed from the outside, people will think this is a transparent glass ball for decoration."

"Wahahahaha, great! I've never thought of this."

"Please make it, this is the material I bought." Sky said as he pointed at his paper bag, "Since you already know the design and will obviously duplicate it for the military, I want you to pay, and you can claim this design as you please."

"Heah, of course." The professor sighed, he understood this because he had sold the same thing, "How much do you want?"

"Just give me a car."

"Well?!" Professor Rizaki is shocked, usually, people will ask for money, but Sky asks for a car, "Any car?"

"Any car, at least 10 years old."

"My car? Diamond Courser Frigate series latest output."

"You sure? That's 512 million."

"This design is more expensive than my car, I sure can buy 4 of the same car later."

"Letters?"

"There's everything under the dashboard, here's the key." The professor replied, "I'll start work, you, Archer and Ranger, enjoy your new car there."

"Professor, don't be sad." Samudra said as he held onto Professor Rizaki's hand with both hands, "I'm very grateful that the professor wasn't angry because of Archer, but at least, don't be sad, huh?"

"Huh, hfft." The professor pulled all the snot that almost came out of his nose back inside, "Good boy, thank you."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Let's go." Sky Words.

Without answering, Ocean followed his brother from behind. She looked at her brother's broad and wide back, giving her a sense of security upon seeing him. Especially with her brother's vision so sharp, even able to penetrate the deepest veins, so she knows, if all this time she does not feel comfortable when using pants for everyday, but because his brother only has an old motorcycle, he must wear pants so as not to bother his brother.

After all, with a car, she could use a skirt without having to worry that her brother would lose his balance.

"I have a new home." Sky said while driving the car and leaving the motorbike as well as the key in the laboratory, "Some."

"Where?"

"Gift from the commander, I forced him."

"Duh, brother, our apartment can still be lived in." Said Samudra in search of a good radio broadcast, "After all, that's all father and mother give us."

"Indeed, but we can't stay there forever, and the apartment dwellers only live number 12, 7, 3, and Dusk next to us." Said her brother who stopped the car at a traffic light.

"They're all not going to continue with the apartment contract, and the receptionist up front is also out if I don't give him any extra money."

"Yes, is it?"

The sky nodded, "So, I'll turn the apartment into a restaurant, since Dusk still lives there, he'll be moved to the top room and I'll hire him as a restaurant supervisor, what do you think?"

"That means, will there be a renovation?"

"Yes." Yeah." The sky answered while plugging in the gas as the lights changed to green, "We'll stay in Harphia for a while."

"Don't tell me there's some houses?"

"Yes, in BR, Kyuto, Venus, Coral, Portaquen, Margo, Harphia and Krelta."

"That's not some, brother. That's a lot, my God." The ocean turned off the radio because there was no good broadcast, "What's that house made of?"

"To be made into a cafe."

"Aren't you sure you can set everything up?"

"Of course, I am the Sky, there is nothing that the Sky does not see. And you are the Ocean, there is nothing that the Ocean cannot conquer, and life begins from the Ocean."

The ocean smiled, her brother looks really good today.

"After we get Petra, we'll go home."

"Yes." Yeah."
