Happiness For You (Chapter Five)

Allen hit Krory on the head. “They’re not possessed.”

“Really?”

“Yeah...”

“Ok. Then, what’s wrong with you people?”

Nozomi replied, “Private joke.”

“But how can you make jokes when you didn’t even talk?” He was getting extremely confused.

Allen hit him once more. “Don’t mind him, both of you. He’s always lost.”

Nozomi and Inari nodded and smiled. All of them followed Allen up the stairs. After a few flights, Nozomi started to pant. “When are we reaching wherever we’re going?”

Allen looked at her and slapped his forehead. “Ooopss. I forgot that this is your first time here. We should have taken the lift.”

“The lift?”

“Yeah. You’ve never heard of a lift in a house?”

“I have. Its just that, why didn’t you tell me before? Then at least I could’ve reminded you to take it instead of the long stairs.”

Everyone laughed. In the end they decided not to take the lift but just walk up till they reached Allen’s room. And what did they see? A room fully furnished. The walls were painted white and the room was very spacious. There were sofas, a computer, a television, two beds, cupboards and many other things and furnitures. Everything seemed expensive, which made Nozomi and Inari afraid to touch them in case anything got spoiled or scratched.

Allen told them to have a seat while he went to take some stuffs. He went off and the rest, excluding Kanda, started talking.

“This house is great. I can’t imagine living here. Its huge!” Nozomi said.

“I know. Its like a palace when I first came here.” Miranda smiled at the memory.

“Uh-huh. When I arrived here, I was like, are we in the wrong place?” Krory stated.

“Haha. All of us were like that. Except Kanda of course. I don’t know why, but he doesn’t seem to have any expressions.” Lenalee said.

Everyone looked at Kanda and he stared into space. He was not even listening to their conversation, what’s more joining in. While everyone eyes him, Lavi spoke, “Maybe he’s too shy to express himself.”

And he received a deathly glare from Kanda. He’s so scary, Lavi thought.

“Anyway,” he quickly changed the subject. “how did you get to know Inari, Nozomi?”

“Oh, we were you know in the last class since the first day of school until last year. Then I had to study hard so that my mum didn’t carry out her threat. And I’m in the first class now. Although its fun there, I kind of miss my old friends.”

“Aww.. We miss you too,” Inari said and immediately blushed.

“Oooo... Someone’s blushing.” Lavi teased.

“No I’m not.”

“Who said I was talking about you?”

“.......”

“Hey, what’s taking Allen so long? He said we were going to have a party. Where is he?” Lenalee was getting impatient.

“Yeah, I’m hungry,” said Krory.

“Miranda agreed. The others with the exception of Kanda agreed too and they waited for a longer while until at last Allen appeared. He stood in front of the door.

“Sorry for making you guys wait. I was getting ready many things. Here they are.”

The door opened and......
