MINERVO 86: Hotels

"You like Jeddy!?"

Paul immediately asked Naomi the question after hearing the honesty of the hooded girl about her first love. Really, this is surprising. Paul didn't think that a girl like Naomi could like a guy like Jeddy. Didn't they meet from the beginning, Naomi seemed to dislike Jeddy's silly behavior? Paul still vividly remembers her, when the moment in which he saved Naomi in Sablo City, when the girl was slaughtered by the White Robe Army. More precisely when Naomi and Jeddy chat in a slum restaurant, with Paul and Koko. And Paul sure enough, Naomi shows a look of dislike for Jeddy, especially when the green-haired man calls the words 'My Beloved' a joke on the girl.

"I don't like it! I just admire him! That's all!" replied Naomi with blushing cheeks. "Enough! I have carried out my own punishment! So, don't talk about this anymore!"

When Naomi said that, the helicopter they were riding in showed signs of landing. "Yeyy! Looks like we've reached the bank! Hihah! That means," Cherry stared happily at Isabella. "The judgment of Cherry is postponed, or perhaps forgotten, hihihihi!"

"Who said?" Isabella giggled as she heard Cherry's confident speech. "Punishment will go on, wherever we are. Let's get that." At once Cherry and Paul's faces became irritated, while Naomi seemed calm, because she did not have a burden, after all, her punishment had been carried out smoothly without a hitch.

The four of them get out of Isabella's helicopter, leaving the fat man - who is a helicopter pilot - inside. They landed right in front of a large building inscribed with the National Bank, which looked boisterous filled with people passing around the building.

"What do you want to the bank? Borrowing money? Taking money? Or saving money?" naomi asked looking curious at what Isabella would do inside the Bank.

"Surely not borrowing or saving," Isabella immediately walked quickly by swaying her butt with sexy to get into the Bank. In his hand, he carried a small red wallet. Seeing Isabella step up, Paul, Cherry, and Naomi tailed her from behind. However, after entering the building, the three of them just sat in the queue chair, while Isabella directly slid to the cashier table. There he had a conversation with the cashier to take some money.

"Hey? If Isabella wants to take the money, why not just at the ATM?" naomi asked Paul in amazement. "Isn't that more efficient?"

"Come away!" Paul tapped his shoulders. "Maybe he has his own reasons!"

"By the way," Naomi again voiced out in a voice that was slower than before. "Don't tell anyone about that. I beg you." Naomi looked into the eyes of Paul and Cherry who were sitting next to her.

Paul put on a flat face while Cherry smiled when she heard him. "Just calm! Cherry won't spread it, really! That will be our secret! But the problem isn't Cherry or Paul, you know!" Cherry glanced at the back of Isabella who was conversing with the bank cashier. Understanding Cherry's line of sight, Naomi nodded her head.

"You're right," Naomi looked worried. "We don't know what Isabella will do once she knows my secret. Maybe now, he still does not know and know the other heroes, but if you already know them, surely Isabella will tell my secret to everything," Naomi squeezes her own robe with sweaty hands. "Maybe Jeddy will find out too."

"Is it that bad?" Paul suddenly made a sound, growling like a tiger. "Is it that bad if everyone knew it, including Jeddy himself, about your love story? I think it's good. Because with that, everyone can know about your heart, and support you a lot. Besides, even if they suck! My heroes are not evil! Including you! So, you don't have to worry about it, Naomi!"

Cherry only listened to the conversation between Paul and Naomi who began to tense up, but when the exclamations were, suddenly a surprising sound was heard.

"My business is done" Isabella appeared before them with two black plastics that they believed contained banknotes. "Let's go back to the helicopter, to go where you want to."

"Go to where we want to go? What does that mean?" Paul furrowed his brows slightly irritated. "Then, why are you carrying those two big plastics?"

"Oh, this?" Isabella held up her two plastics for a moment and began to speak, "This is my own money, I took a hundred million in my savings, in preparation for me to become a hero with you? Why why?"

Paul, Cherry, and Naomi gasped at it. "You're overreacting, Isabella," Naomi was stunned to see Isabella carrying two large pieces of plastic containing sheets of cash inside. "Being a hero doesn't have to spend that kind of money. You just have to have physical and mental readiness so that later you are not surprised when you become a real hero."

"Oh, is that it?" Isabella was shocked to hear that, it was not as she had imagined. Whereas before, Isabella imagined that a hero must have an ideal costume and luxury, worldwide popularity, and abundant wealth. But it seems that all is not right. "Then, what do we want to do with this money?" Isabella was confused herself. "It doesn't really matter if we spend this money at once, because my money is still in the account, and it seems like it will continue to grow. So, how do we spend this money?"

"You're just causing trouble!" Paul yelled at Isabella as he got out of his chair, and he began to ponder, to think about it, and finally a good idea came to his head, about how to spend the money. "How about we rent a hotel to house my heroes!? Do you mind, Isabella!? Using your money for that!?"

"Hire a hotel building to serve as a shelter for your heroes? Which means, I'm in it too, right?" Isabella nodded her head with a happy smile. "It looks interesting."

"Then, now, we're gonna rent a hotel in what city?" tanya Cherry looked excited. "Are you in Swart City? Groen city!? Poppe City!? Vineas city!? Aljelvin city!? Sablo city!? Cocoa City!? Or maybe Luna City!?" Cherry names the entire town where the heroes live, to the point of upsetting Paul to hear it.

"Of course in Swart City! You idiot!"

Afterwards, the four of them boarded the helicopter to fly to Swart City, on the way, Paul and Cherry were colonized by Isabella as punishment that had not yet been carried out; Paul is forced to dance silly by the window while Cherry is forced to sigh for five minutes. Witnessing that, Isabella was endlessly laughing, while Naomi kept her mouth shut, trying to hold back her laughter, though always failing, they both seemed content to laugh at Cherry and Paul who were being fooled. But, their laughter was over when the helicopter reached the area of Swart City.

Here, the air is a little cool and soothing.
