The Power Enthusiast

MINERVO 61: Who is the Master?

Slowly, Colin opened his eyelids, feeling that the cold temperature that had been choking his neck had gradually disappeared, replaced by the warmth of the sun that stung the skin, the grass that pierced his feet, and the heat of the sun, and the fresh air that lifted his nose. Because of that, Colin ventured to open his eyes completely, and a smile was imprinted on his face when he saw a familiar building in front of him.

"It's right in Paul's backyard! I succeeded! I succeeded!" Colin was prancing around so happy because the agios candy he swallowed had sent his body to this place, not to some horrible place, like a wilderness or an empty house. Colin was so relieved, there was nothing more pleasant than to make it home safely. Even Colin wants to celebrate this success with a festive party, even if it is just a daydream.

"Alright, now I have to make sure things go first," Colin looked around, glancing in all directions, whether anyone saw him appear here or not, including neighboring houses lined up on each side. Five minutes of glancing around, Colin was finally able to confirm that no one had seen him. Lfs nice. "Thank God! I thought someone would see me, then I should hurry to get into Paul's house!" Colin sets off his quick steps towards the back door of Paul's house. When he knew the door was wide open, he smiled happily, because with that, he no longer needed to knock on the door.

"Eh?" Colin gasped to see many people who were in the kitchen, standing upright with a tense face like being chased by ghosts, what was with them? Colin can see Jeddy holding a gun to Cherry and Naomi's head, then there was Paul who looked panicked and there was Elena-Her mother Paul-who was sitting on the floor next to her son. "A-What is this? W-Why are you all acting so weird?" Colin's views focused on Jeddy. "And why are you pointing your gun casings at Cherry and Naomi? W-You why J-Jeddy!?" And Colin's neck turned towards Paul who was standing near Elena who was sitting on the floor. "P-Paul!? Say it! What's going on here!?"

Colin was really anxious to see the scene, he suspected that at this time Jeddy was the main problem, maybe the man suddenly became evil and intended to blackmail, he said, threatening or even killing people who are here for his own benefit, because only Jeddy looks suspicious here, look, only he holds a firearm, while the others, while others, are, like being scared of him. This is bad, Colin has to find a way to keep Jeddy from throwing a tantrum here, if anything dangerous happens, then the reputation of this house will be bad and criminal cases will horrendous throughout the city in the State of Madelta.

When Colin entered through the back door, Paul was shocked and grateful because the man managed to return home safely, but the pleasure was immediately lost when he remembered Koko who suddenly disappeared from the kitchen. Anxiety turned back to his head.

"Colin!" Jeddy, Cherry, and Naomi simultaneously mention the name when they see the appearance of Colin's surprise. Paul and Elena were only stunned at Colin's arrival, after which, the two of them went back to panicking like before.

"Hey!? Comeon! What is this actually!? Why would Jeddy put a gun on Cherry and Naomi's head!? What the hell is going on here!?"

Colin's face paled as he said that, his legs shaking, an overwhelming tension began to interfere with his breathing. If this continues, Colin can faint.

"T-Take it easy, Bro! You don't fear me! I'm just-"

"No!" Colin rewinded his steps when he saw Jeddy chiming in his words. "Don't shoot me! Jeddy!" Colin raised his two palms in front of his face, like a person exposed to a dazzling light. "I'll do anything! As long as you don't shoot me! No, you don't shoot them all either! I beg! Jeddy!"

Jeddy was eager to get uproar after hearing Colin's terrified cry to him, but unfortunately, he had to hold back his laughter, as he had to be rather serious in this situation, otherwise he would have to, then Naomi and Cherry will be back in a heated fight.

"Jeddy," Paul spoke with his distinctive heavy voice. "Let your guns down" Paul began to step on his feet, approaching Cherry and Naomi's backs. Then, Paul patted the two girls on the shoulders softly, Colin who saw him, looking confused. "Cherry," Paul looked at Cherry's back. "I admire you, but you're overreacting, so I ask you, stop. Rather than you fighting with Naomi, you better take my mother to the room, right now her soul is shaken at this fight. Hurry."

Actually Cherry is upset at Paul's orders, because she is still not satisfied to corner Naomi, she has considered the hooded girl as her enemy. Because, Naomi has done something outrageous to Koko, and Cherry does not like it. Naomi is very annoying, in the eyes of Cherry, the hooded girl is just a dumb man who maniacs in the holy book of her religion, to the point that it has no common sense in interpreting each content of the book. According to Cherry, Naomi is not a good girl, nor is she a bad girl, she is like a foolish girl who considers her religious scriptures as a guide to life.

That's really sickening.

"Well, Cherry understood," With a cold, Cherry turned her back, moved slowly, came to Elena who was still limping on the floor and raised her body to stand straight, standing straight, then Cherry pulled Elena's arm to put it around her neck so she wouldn't fall while walking. "Cherry will take Aunt Elena to the room, as you ordered, Paul. But," Suddenly Cherry growled with eyes that looked towards Naomi. "... You have to make him regret for hurting Koko!"

Paul pinched his forehead with a flat face. "Just do what I tell you, don't talk too much."

Cherry slowly leaves the kitchen with Elena beside her, leaving Paul, Naomi, Jeddy, and Colin there. Suddenly the kitchen room became quiet after the departure of Cherry and Elena, as if the atmosphere became frozen, no one dared to make a sound first, there was only the sound of a gun swipe inserted into the pocket of pants.

"Why did Cherry look so sharp when she looked at Naomi's face? Comeon! Please! Explain to me what happened!"

And it turns out, Colin was the one who spoke first there, making all the attention focused on the blue-haired man, who was confused at the state of this house. Colin thinks that his conjecture of Jeddy as the mastermind behind this strange event, seems wrong, because the green-haired man still obeys Paul's orders, to lower and put the guns back in his pants pocket. If so, then who is the mastermind? Does Cherry? Colin thought if the mastermind was Cherry, it made sense, because the short girl was creepy when she was angry.

But Colin considered it first, because when Cherry was about to leave the kitchen with Elena, the little girl had said something that explained that Naomi had hurt Koko. Of course Colin was surprised, because a polite girl like Naomi, it was impossible to hurt someone. The language alone when speaking is very formal, Colin thought, it is very, very impossible. However, Naomi suddenly made a soft voice and glares at Colin, chiming in on the question the timid man had asked.

"You don't need to be confused so, Colin," Naomi said with a wry smile. "Before you came, there was a little quarrel between me and Cherry, that's all. The rest, nothing matters."

"Then, what are you debating in that light quarrel!?" Colin asked again, as curiosity began to tickle his head.

"We were just arguing about Koko" Naomi replied gently. "When I asked Koko to take off the skirt she was wearing and asked her to leave Madelta State, Cherry raged at me instead, he vilified me and cursed me as if I were a lowly human being. I'm really shocked."

"Wait-wait! What did you say!?" Colin was astonished to hear Naomi's explanation, he felt that there was something strange there. "You told Koko to take off the skirt she was wearing? And also expel him from this country?" Colin blinked his eyes.

Naomi nodded, "Of course, why?"
