MINERVO 119: A Honesty

“What the hell is this!?” Lizzie is shocked when her broken right arm is suddenly given a piece of wood tied to each side of Paul's twisted bone. Finished it, Paul fastened the cloth used to tie the wood to Lizzie's arm, so as not to shake or fall. “You are what you are doing, ********!”

Of course the girl was not silent as her arms were touched-touching by Paul, she continued to screech loudly with a very wrathful face, but Lizzie could not rebel at all, as soon as the man held onto his crooked wrist, the pain began to re-emerge. And if Lizzie forced herself to move the arm that was being held by Paul, then she would feel tremendous pain.

“You're so noisy!” After doing that, Paul stood up from his squatting position. “Now your arm is safe! You just need to be quiet so that your broken bones can recover!”

“What do you think this is who, *********!?” Lizzie jerked Paul with such a sharp look. “If you hadn't kicked my wrist then, I wouldn't have experienced something stupid like this!”

“I'm precisely doing this because I'm in charge!” Paul also seemed annoyed at Lizzie who did not understand what he was doing. “You are really upsetting! Of all the heroes I met, you're the only one that sucks!”

“Hero-Hero-HERO!” Lizzie is getting tired of that name. “I told you, IT'S DISGUSTING!” That girl really hates stupid things. “After all, I'm a hit man! I'm not working to save people! My job is to kill humans!”

Paul was silent, it seemed like Lizzie still did not understand the explanation put forward by him, he became a little upset. "Whatever, I don't care if you like it or not! What matters is that I explained it to you! And as for your rotten work, I don't care either! Whatever your job, if you've been chosen to be a hero! You have to change it for the better!"

"I would go crazy for a long time if I kept talking to a stupid guy like you! This is what I hate about men, they are all so stupid, childish, perverted, and selfish! That's so gross!" While scavenging for his tied right arm, Lizzie moved from her squatting position, then limped away from Paul.

"Where are you going!?" Paul furrowed his eyebrows in astonishment as Lizzie walked slowly towards that direction. "You could be ambushed by that family again!"

"IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Lizzie immediately shouted without turning her head back. "You should get out of here too! Remember your dead friend! Don't you want to save her!?"

Instantly, Paul recalled Abbas's condition, and panic returned to his head. Paul almost forgot on his more important matters, he had to hurry now.

"Then I say goodbye!" Paul immediately stepped foot quickly, returning to the hospital to save Abbas who had been sentenced to death by a doctor.

"God! Lizzie! Why hands!?" Rara, a petite mahogany-haired girl, wearing a short white dress, screamed hysterically at the sight of Lizzie returning with her arms tied up, like a soldier returning home from a great battle."Are you okay!?"

Lizzie, who had just entered the door of her house, was immediately greeted by Rara with panic. The little girl seemed to be unable to hide her worries seeing her dear friend hurt, Rara's eyes so teary, almost willing to cry.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, Rara," Lizzie smiled at Rara after sitting on the soft sofa in her living room. Rara sat on the sofa. "Wait, why aren't you sleeping? It's morning, Rara."

"You lied!" rara replied with annoyance. "You're not okay! Your right hand is proof! You must be in danger, right!? Yeah, right!?"

"Rara, you have to rest," Lizzie tries to persuade Rara to sleep so that the boy doesn't question other things. "Come here, you've always wanted to sleep on my lap, right?"

"Lizzie! Don't switch the conversation!" Although Rara was still around 10 years old, but she was very sensitive to everything. Rara can't be lied to, she's not a child. "Tell me, everything that happens when you break into my house!"

Lizzie was silent for a moment, she was at a loss as to what to say. Lizzie can't just be honest with Rara, because it can make the girl disappointed in her. There's no way Lizzie said she failed to do her job. Rara must be disappointed. Very disappointed.

"I'm sorry!" With her tiny arms coiled around Lizzie's neck, Rara exclaimed with wet eyes. "I've hurt you like this! My mistake! If I hadn't asked you to slaughter my family, you probably wouldn't have come home in this condition! I'm really selfish!"

"Hey Rara, don't talk like that" Lizzie quickly retaliates against Rara's self-blame. "I did it because I wanted to do it. I couldn't keep quiet when I heard my best friend was kicked out of his house. And I'm not hurt by your fault, injuries are natural to a hit man like me. Sometimes, I'm often off guard when I do my job, so this isn't something to worry about."

Slowly, Rara took off the embrace and then her eyes looked fully at Lizzie's face with great focus. "Alright, then, have you massacred my entire family?"

At a glance Lizzie turned her gaze to the side, looking confused as to what to answer.

Aware of that, Rara narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Lizzie! Answer me! Did you kill them all?"

Exhaling slowly, Lizzie began to dare to be honest. "Sorry," said Lizzie, looking at Rara's tiny face. "I failed to do it."

Rara was stunned to hear it. "Eh?" The boy was shocked to not believe it. "Is my family too hard to kill?"

"No, they are very weak" Lizzie said with a cold face. "That makes me fail is not because they are too hard."

"Then what?"

"That guy!" His annoyance begins to surface again when Lizzie remembers Paul's annoying face. "She suddenly appeared inside your house and interrupted my work! I was really disgusted at her behavior that kept getting in my way!"

Rara started to second-guess him, and only one face was on her mind. "Is the man you've been dealing with here?"

"Yes! That's the guy I'm talking about!"

Suddenly, Rara becomes agitated, she begins to recall, as she gives Paul the antidote to Lizzie's poison secretly, after the tomboy girl goes to her mansion.

"So that guy, yeah."

"And she also had time to tell me, that Rara gave my antidote to her! How disgusting! How dare he slander my best friend! Rara couldn't have done that! Right, right, Rara?"

"I'm sorry, Lizzie," Rara immediately lowered her head, leaving Lizzie astonished at her behavior. "Actually, it's all true. I did give your antidote to the man, but I did so that he could go save his friend and not interfere with your duty! But I didn't think he was following you!"

Hearing that, Lizzie just cleared her throat while looking fixedly at the face of Rara who was being subdued.
