Lucky 224

"Aww, I'm sad that you found a nanny for Patricia, maybe she can stay in the house for another day, or maybe another week. 

Yuna was begging Nikki with her pitiful eyes, yet Nikki just bitterly smiled. Nikki felt that she and her daughter was becoming a burden to the team. 

"Patricia may cause problems if she stayed longer."

"So what? I like her, you can let her stay please."

Yuna clasped her hands, hoping that Nikki would give in. However, Nikki was adamant to let Patricia stay in the new apartment that she rented, she even hired a nanny for her. 

"I'm sorry."

She averted her gaze and weakly said.

"Ouch!!"

"Yuna, don't bully Nikki. Just respect her decision."

Marianne karate-chopped Yuna's head. 

"But I want to be with Patricia! She is so cute! And don't you dare karate-chop me again, or I will beat you!!"

"Let's see how can you do that."

"This bitch!"

"Guys, stop. We just finished the mission but we have to be serious in case a wave of monsters will appear."

Calix stopped the two before it became serious. To be fair, their mission was just like the usual: to eliminate the Aberrants that were trying to invade the Port of Aoneon. 

"What about you Calix? You want Patricia to stay, right?"

Yuna was pouting. Yuna and the others became so close to the child. That they were eager to have their own. 

'It's good that Yuna is only acting this way. Kimberly was much worse, when she dropped her glasses, she started crying and kneeling in front of Nikki. She was begging Nikki to let Patricia stay.'

Calix sighed.

"I will respect Nikki's decision."

"T- thank you."

Nikki said while averting her gaze. Actually, Calix helped her to find a good place for Patricia to stay. 

"Although I'm sad that you have to leave too. I know that we will see each other because we are on the same team but still."

"I have to, I don't want to leave Patricia again so I decided to live with her in the apartment. Thank you for finding a good place with a reasonable price."

"It's nothing, I just found it luckily."

"Still, finding a good place for 300 dollars per month is quite nice."

"Yeah, it is."

Nikki and Patricia decided to live in the Port of Aoneon. Nikki hired a nanny so that she would be at ease whenever she was working. Now that she stopped sending money to her whore-of-a-mother, Nikki could freely use her money. 

"Just make sure that you will visit us sometimes, okay?"

"I- I will!"

Nikki blushed. Despite leaving, Nikki still has the intention to continue her hedonistic relationship with Calix. Because it feels good. 

Now that she experienced his rod, Nikki realized that she could never live without him. 

"I will try to visit at least once or twice a week."

Well, she would visit maybe every day. 

"Hm. Surprisingly, even though you are speaking weakly, I can still hear you."

Calix nodded. 

"Ugh..."

"Scarlett? Are you okay?"

Calix turned around and found that Scarlett was pale. She was sweating hard and she could not look straight. 

"I'm fine, I think. It's just that my head is aching."

"We just finished the job, just wait a little bit for the other team to show up and we will leave."

Calix approached her and placed his palm on her forehead.

"You're burning in fever."

He confirmed that she was sick. He felt that her skin was hot when he touched her. 

"Un..."

Scarlett leaned forward and rest on his chest. She closed her eyes to relax a bit. She did not know why but her whole body was burning. She felt like dying. 

The three girls who were looking at the couple had mixed emotions. 

Nikki had a bitter smile. 

Marianne was frowning. 

And Yuna was jealous.

It was obvious that the three of them wanted to cuddle with him but they were nothing but the third wheel. 

Well, it was better than having none. At least they could spend time with him, naked in bed.

Despite that fact, deep down inside them, they have this selfish emotion of having Calix for themselves. Humans are selfish. Even a good person had hidden desires. 

Calix stroked Scarlett's hair. He was worried. 

"That's why I said you need to sleep early."

"But I can't let you have sex with the others while I'm sleeping. It's unfair."

He sighed. Indeed, girls were hard to understand. 

"Because of that, you're having a fever."

It was surprising that a 2nd Advanced like her would have a fever but it was not impossible, Scarlett was still a human after all. 

They were staying in the southern part of the Port where the boats that brought resources from the mainland dwelled. It was their job to make sure that this place would be free from the Aberrants. 

"Maybe my fever will disappear faster if we do it-- ouch."

"Scarlett, I'm serious here."

He flicked her head. 

"Sorry."

Scarlett chuckled but the smile on her face immediately disappeared when she felt excruciating pain. 

"Gaah! Aackkk--!!"

She started coughing blood. 

"Scarlett!? Scarlett!! Are you okay!!?"

Calix became agitated as he witnessed Scarlett losing her strength and kneeling on the ground. Her coughing didn't stop as blood came out of her mouth. 

"Scarlett!!"

Calix tried to approach her but something caused him to stop. His feet halted as he witnessed how Scarlett's eyes glowed dangerously.

"Graaahh--!!!" 

Then, suddenly, an explosion erupted causing them to fly across the place. Calix crushed against the rubber boxes. He didn't suffer any injury. It was favorable that his Luck was still active. 

Just like him, the other girls were fine except for Scarlett who was groveling on the ground. Her body was burning as another explosion came from her. 

"Yuna! We have to take Scarlett to a safe place! Help me!"

He glanced at Yuna who was slightly injured. However, the pink-haired woman didn't respond. Instead, she was staring in awe up at the sky. 

"Yuna!!"

The woman didn't listen. Yuna's face was pale and frightened as if she witnessed the end of the earth. 

Calix didn't have a choice but to look up too, then, his pupils trembled as he realized that the sun was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the moon tainted by blood was looming over the sky.
