The Power Enthusiast

MINERVO 37: Something Vibrating

"How much do you guys do!" Suddenly, Colin appeared on the front doorstep, making Paul, Jeddy, Cherry, Nico, and Koko who were enjoying eating food, so stopped for a moment and turned to look at the man. Colin looked breathless, he seemed to have run away from such a long distance, sweat soaking all over his body, making his shop clothes so drenched. "Start a party without me! Has my existence been forgotten here!? So mean!"

However, Colin's annoyance instantly disappeared while his eyes pointed to the figure of Koko who was sitting with her friends in the guest chair of Paul's house, he was surprised to see the presence of the figure, which was the same, until both of his eyes were wide open.

Paul immediately got out of his chair and walked up to Colin who was still standing in the doorway. Upon arriving before Colin, Paul clasped the man's head violently, exclaiming, "Why have you come to my house these nights! Goddamn bum!" Colin grimaced in pain as his head was pinned by Paul. "Didn't you have to work in your fucking shop tomorrow!? Rather than wasting time here! You better sleep in your house! Bastard!"

Watching Colin being picked up by Paul, Nico snorted and lifted himself up from the chair and walked over to Paul and said in a very cold tone, "Have you never been taught manners by your parents?" Paul turned his gaze to Nico. "Rather than yelling at him, you better take him inside, to sit with us, after that, you can ask him anything, isn't that more ethical than you scolding her while standing here?"

Hearing that, Paul grieved bitterly, "You dare to protest at me, huh!?" sergeant Paul brings his face closer to Nico. "I don't care about your manners or your ridiculous ethics! I just want to make him realize that coming here at night can be very dangerous! What if on his way here, he was confronted by a horde of drunken thugs or perhaps a vicious killer! Think about it with your brain! Goddamn bum!"

Not to be outdone, Nico pushes his face closer to Paul's face until their noses touch each other. "Then from that," said Nico with intonation that became louder. "You can ask him when he's sitting in a chair! After all, his current condition was fine! He didn't seem to have been confronted by thugs or assassins! You idiot!"

"Emm. actually I was just being chased by a fierce dog," Colin said with a frenzy, hearing that, Paul smiled at Nico, as if what he was worried about was happening. But, before Paul and Nico got into another fight, Colin hurriedly pulled their backs apart. "Hey! Nevermind! Why are you fighting in front of me!" Colin was astonished at the attitude of Paul and Nico who even bicker in front of him, even though he was annoyed because he felt forgotten to not be invited at this fun party.

"Colin! It's because of you! You should be-"

"No! It's not Colin! You're the one-"

"What do you mean! Huh!? So you're getting brave-"

"Yes! I dare! Wh why? You're shocked? Quickly saj-"

"PLEASE SHUT UP!" Colin immediately shouted out very loudly, making Paul and Nico gasp at hearing it. Their quarrels were extinguished instantly by Colin's blaring cries. "I wonder, why are you guys so excited by yourself!?"

Jeddy immediately laughed heartily watching the quarrel between Paul, Nico, and Colin. "Haha! The expressions of the three of you while talking are so funny! Huhah! I couldn't hold my laughter any longer! Ahahaha! Pardon me! Bro! Ahaha!"

Just like Jeddy, Cherry also giggled in her chair, feeling comforted while watching the debate between the three men. "hihim! You three are idiots! Cherry to heartburn want to pee! Hihihi!"

While Koko was only fixated on seeing the quarrel, she just looked at the three men without reacting anything, she also began to understand that the name of the blue-haired man, who had just come to Paul's house, was, it's Colin. So that's it, yes, this person is Colin, it turns out that the person is very excited, Koko thought while observing Colin's appearance.

Because he felt that what Nico said was true, Paul was forced to tell Colin to sit in the guest chair, after the man sat down with his other friends, he began to ask Colin the question seriously, and the man answered him immediately.

"I came here because I wanted to know who the new hero you brought home today was, but my curiosity changed when I heard a party! I'm so upset that you're partying without me! You should have sent a message or something to invite me so that my existence is not forgotten! But fact! You guys didn't do that! You guys even fun partying here without even remembering me! Do you guys!" After expressing his annoyance at Paul, Nico, Jeddy, and Cherry, Colin finally began to shift his gaze towards Koko, then nervously, he said, "Sa-Salam knows," And Koko replied with a thin smile.

"Huh!?" Paul kicked his desk with a wrathful face, until the food on the surface of the table, lifted in a second. "Who is partying here!? We're not partying, asshole! Why are you so angry at us!"

Cherry chimed in on Paul in a cheerful tone, "What Paul says is true! We were just eating together, because we had just returned from the city of Aljelvin which is very far! So, we're hungry! That's what Cherry means! Hihihihi!"

"Aljelvin city!?" Colin heard it. "That is, a city that is currently being talked about on the internet?"

"Eh? What's up with Aljlevin, Bro!?" jeddy asked with a scratch on the nape of his left arm.

"You didn't open the internet, did you!?" screech Colin at Jeddy with twitching eyebrows. "Now, the city of Aljelvin is reported to have changed its old rules to new ones! Therefore, there is a commotion from the parties who agree and disagree on the changing conditions of the city rules."

"Oh, I see," Jeddy nodded his head, starting to understand, then, his gaze shifted to Paul. "So, how did you survive the commotion, Bro!?"

"Challenges?" Nico voiced with a slanted smile. "I don't think there's anything bad in the city" Nico said in a relaxed tone. "It is precisely we who caused the commotion to happen."

"What do you mean!?" Colin was surprised to hear it. "Wait around! Don't tell me you guys-"

"Yes, that's right," Cherry again voiced with a grin. "We visited Aljelvin City this afternoon to pick up a new hero! And we are also the ones who changed that old rotten rule to a new fair rule! Hihahi! Although mostly thanks to Nico's intelligence, anyway! Hihah! Cherry and Paul just gave us the basics!"

"Why are you so brave? I mean, aren't your faces already known all over the city in this country!? You guys remember, right? The moment the reporters appeared in front of the gates of Paul's house!? At that time we took turns saying various things in front of the video recording device! And surely the tape will be televised! Well, wouldn't your faces be very familiar there!?"

"Oh, about that, huh?" Nico started to answer by pushing his glasses. "I can't be sure, but so far, no one in Aljelvin has recognized my face or the faces of Paul and Cherry. Maybe instead of broadcasting it to television, they, the reporters, had already deleted the tape? You see, my words during the recording session were pretty stabbing, if you remember."

"yes too! It could be so," Colin nodded in agreement to Nico's opinion. It was strange that their faces were not recognized by people in other cities. "If the footage isn't published, I'm really happy! Because with that, we can also survive! You also said strange things during the recording! About the hero, it is! The country leader, it is! And the like, wouldn't it be very strange to be heard by the public!?"

"Huhahahah! I agree, Bro! People will laugh at us! Ahhhhhhh!" Jeddy constantly ranted to hear the babbling of his friends.

"That's enough!" Paul again kicked his desk in a loud voice, making his friends speechless and glancing at him. "I'm so sleepy to hear you fuss over trivial things!" Paul's attention begins to lead to Colin. "Let me tell you, the new hero I met in Aljelvin is not a girl! He is a man! Name's Koko! Watch out if you're mistaken! I'll fucking smack your face!"

"Your speech begins exactly like Jeddy! I'm tired of explaining it!" snapping Paul in annoyance at Colin, Jeddy just laughed at hearing his name called. Then, Paul's attention was turned towards Koko, "Tonight, where are you going to sleep, Koko!? My male friends will sleep in my room! While Cherry will sleep at Olivia's house, my schoolmate! If you don't like to sleep with those gibberish! I can take you to Olivia's house with Cherry, after all, your appearance will be expected as a girl, so you'll be fine! How's it!? Which one do you want to choose!?"

Koko who had been silent before did not speak, now even appointed by Paul to speak, as a result everyone who was there was now watching him, waiting for him to answer, and Koko was a little embarrassed, too, he began to make his voice, "It's okay.I sleep in your room, Paul."

Hearing that, Jeddy was surprised, Nico smiled faintly, Cherry was dumbfounded, Colin furrowed his brows, and Paul put on a flat face. "Good! It's decided!" paul said in a firm voice. "Coko will sleep with us! So I suggest you sleep on the floor! Let Koko sleep in the bed! Understood!" Paul's male friends nodded their heads, understanding that.

"Yahhhhh! Cherry thought Koko would choose to sleep with Cherry!" Cherry seemed to be puffing her cheeks with pouting lips, but her disappointed face immediately turned into a carefree moment later, "But that's okay! Cherry thinks Koko might be more comfortable sleeping with the guys! Hihihi!" And suddenly Cherry remembered something. "Eh!? Cherry forgot! We should have bought some decent clothes for Koko! How, dong!?"

"It can't be these nights we go to the store! So for a while Koko will be wearing my clothes!" paul answered with a sigh. "All right! Sleep time! You all! Get in my room! And Cherry! I'll take you to Olivia's house! So wait outside!"

"Baiy!" said Cherry beamingly.

After delivering Cherry to Olivia's house a few minutes ago, Paul returned home and went straight into her room, and she was shocked, it turned out that his friends had already fallen asleep there, and it seemed that they were obeying Paul's orders. Because Nico, Jeddy, and Colin sleep together on the floor which of course has been made by white sheets, while Koko is sleeping on her mattress.

"Alright," said Paul with a faint smile looking at his friends who had been closed. "I also need to sleep."

Finally Paul went with Jeddy, Colin, and Nico to lie on the floor, and a moment later, drowsiness began to cover him until his eyes began to close tightly. Tonight the situation of his room is really crowded, especially considering that the number of heroes will continue to grow in the future, it looks like Paul has to provide another room for new heroes who have not been found, you can sleep in your home comfortably.

The next day, Paul was surprised because when he woke up, his friends had disappeared from his room, but when his ears heard more observantly, Jeddy's laughter, Colin's screech, Nico's cold tone, and his, and Koko's soft voice was heard in the living room, which meant that they were all talking there. In a hurry Paul took a towel and took a bath, but as he got down the stairs, his friends turned their eyes to him.

"What!?" Feeling stared at, Paul spoke with annoyance.

"Look," Nico's piercing voice began to sound. "Our mentor just woke up from his sleep, when his students had appeared very neat. Really rubbish, right? Our mentor?"

"Just shut up!" Not accepting it, Paul immediately snapped at Nico with wrath. "Once again you're mocking me! Kuhajar yourface!"

"Good morning... Paul." said Koko with a warm smile on Paul.

"Hurry to take a shower, Paul. Don't listen to Nico, you're very impressionable, yes" Colin said, shaking his face at Paul.

"By the way the water's cold, bro! You have to be careful when you shower! Ahhaha!" Jeddy was shocked after saying that.

Ignoring all these words, Paul immediately stepped foot into the bathroom. Nico, Jeddy, Colin, and Koko return to talk in the living room. A few minutes later, Colin said, "Ah, it's already half seven! I have to get back to work! I'm leaving, yeah! Tell Paul today I can't be with him anymore! And as for anyone who will accompany Paul, I hope you can return home safely! Bye bye!"

After saying goodbye, Colin came out of Paul's house and ran to work. Nico, Jeddy and Koko are left in the living room. "He's very diligent, huh?" nico tells Jeddy and Koko after Colin disappears from the room.

"That's right! Bro! Colin was the single most diligent person here! He is very active at work! I could even see flames of spirit within his eyes! Ahhahahah!" jeddy laughed as usual. Then, Jeddy glanced at Koko stiffly. "W-What do you think of Colin? B-B-Bro." Even Jeddy is not comfortable using the word 'bro' on Koko, because the words are only used for fellow men, while Koko, according to Jeddy, is like a girl. So Jeddy likes to be confused about how to interact with Koko.

Hearing that, Koko lifted her head after just looking down and down, just being a listener. And with a faint smile, Koko replied, "I think... Colin is a very good man. He can position himself well when talking to other people, and he can also divide his time in working and playing with friends, it's great."

Jeddy and Nico flinch at Koko's words, until Paul finally appears among them in neat clothes; wearing an orange t-shirt, and long white sports pants. "I thought that Fucking Colin had taken a day off to come with me! It's not what I thought! Yes already! Forget about that!" Paul looked at Jeddy, Nico, and Koko sharply. "Now, I'm asking you! Who will come with me to go find a new hero!?"

Nico immediately replied casually, "I'm too tired to leave after yesterday's incident, so I thought, I'll just take care of the house."

"I'm coming! Bro! Heheheh!" Jeddy held his hands high with vigor. "I miss so much the excitement of going on a trip with you! Bro! Ahaha!"

Seeing Jeddy raise his hand, Koko also shakily joined his hand. "I'm coming too."

"okay!" paul said after hearing Nico, Jeddy, and Koko's response. "Then, where's Cherry!? Is he still not here!?"

Hearing that, Nico again said loudly, "So there was a black-haired girl coming here wearing a school uniform, she said, 'please tell Paul, Cherry has a fever, please, so she can't come today', that's how the girl said goodbye to us to go to school. As I recall, that girl's name is Olivia."

Paul began to understand the situation Nico was saying, then he nodded his head. "That means! The only ones who will accompany me are Jeddy and Koko!" Then, Paul's eyeballs shifted on the two men. "You guys ready!?"

Jeddy and Koko say 'ready' at the same time. And a second later, Paul's phone was vibrating violently in his pants pocket.

"Looks like Roswel called me!"
