The Red Game's

Chapter 6 part 1

After the silly incident this afternoon ended, we started acting as usual again because I had apologized. Even so I was still sanctioned for it.

I don't mind accepting that, because I was wrong with playing them. The sanctions they gave me were also quite easy. They just told me to clean the bathroom for 1 month and so on.

Right now I'm preparing a place for dinner in the middle room, where we used to gather. The room is illuminated by lanterns and is quite spacious. There I spread out some mats on the floor and put some food for dinner on it. These foods are made by beautiful girls in BlackList by utilizing the garden results behind the headquarters. This isn't bad.

“Fuck kei! Help dong!”

An upset Nathaniel threw those words at me. I understand why he was angry, because actually since I just did daydream while watching him work. I don't mind getting sanctioned either because there's Nathaniel here who can help me get it done.

“Ya alright. I'll help you by not getting in the way while you're at work.”

He looked annoyed when I answered like that. But he soon regained his composure by regulating his breathing. And answered with resignation.

“Whatever you are.”

“Ok.”

It's freaky. Why does he look so frustrated? Supposedly as an employee he should be happy to be given a job by his boss. Am I not the kind of boss who is kind to his men.

The dining room is finished. I'm calling the BlackList members for dinner. They were casually sitting in a circle with food in the middle. Some say that eating together with a simple atmosphere like this can strengthen the bonds of friendship. Even though I don't really care about that.

I sat between Alice and the Clouds. Actually I don't want to sit here, but what can I do because only there is an empty place. The reason I don't want to sit among them is because they are the two people who complain the most and are also shy. It's got me in a dilemma.

We started eating when Cresh let us. It would be impolite if we started alone without saying anything. Although no one forbids it.

When we ate, no one spoke. Because it is considered impolite here. For BlackList, that civility and kindness is a must-have. No matter who the person is, if they become a member of BlackList then they should have both of those things. I feel sorry for them. They are good people, but they are not allowed to live in a better city.

After I finished eating I asked them a question.

“While the BlackList group is a good group of people. Why don't you guys get out of town?”

“We should have asked why you stayed here after what happened.” Sahut Marten's.

“Hm, if you think about it, it is true anyway.”

“If you ask why I'm staying? It's because I feel like I'm a good match for you guys. Is that wrong?” my answer.

“It's not wrong anyway. But what if I told you that staying here is for the same reason as you?”

“I think that's an unacceptable excuse. If you had been friends from the beginning, you would have left this city in the first place. Isn't that right?”

“Yes I think you're right. The reason we stay here is because we can't get out of this city no matter what.”

“Very strange.”

“This started from an incident 1 year ago when the entire Klaurius family was massacred. Because of the incident the northern city became chaotic. Perhaps because of that, many criminals came to the northern city and slaughtered many residents and took over the city. Since then anyone who comes from a northern city is not allowed to enter another city.”

“So there is such a story yes. I just found out about it.”

“It looks like you don't really care.” Comment Cresh.

“Not so. I just feel kasian because of this discrimination.” I deny.

According to what Marten tells us, there's a group of criminals taking over this town. Even so I still don't know where they are. As far as I'm concerned, it's very strange that this city has become so chaotic that it doesn't have any rules.

Not only that, if indeed this city has been taken over by criminals. Why would they destroy all power generation sources. This looks like a scenario someone planned. I have a bad feeling about this. But I'll think about it later.

“Nathaniel, do you feel awkward with us.” I said to Nathaniel, who was silent.

“No.., that.., I feel I shouldn't interrupt your conversation.” Answer Nathaniel.

“What you said. It would be very disturbing if you just looked and didn't join. We are friends.” Said Riki sitting next to him.

Well, at least Nathaniel should be more familiar with the BlackList members. Because I persuaded them for various reasons to accept it.

That night we spent time with a light conversation accompanied by a joke. It was a fun experience. I don't regret coming here.
