Chapter 9

"whoa.. Look at that."

"sheryl and nikki is so glowing today."

"so was lica and rena last week."

"also look at miku, she might be glowing too!"

"such a lucky bastard."

"just what did happen with them and leo?" everybody then thought

The girls, including miku, was now side by side and walking and chatting along the entrance way towards the school, where leaves were also falling.

"hey leo, working so early?" lica said, as the girls arrived at the student council room

"yeah.. But its not work, its just a bit of homework." leo said, as he was working on his desk

"really? We had homework?" sheryl said, panicing

"yes.. If you want, you all can copy mine." rena said, offering her work, as they were now sitting on the long couch

"wow! Thanks! I really forgot about our homework, due to the date last saturday." nikki said

"yeah, it was fun and hectic at the same time. Though i dont really mind." sheryl said

"hey sheryl, did you also bring miku along with you yesterday? I know leo just told us, but i had to ask." lica said

"yes, i did. Thats also why shes here." sheryl said

"why? Didnt her father attempt to kill leo?" rena said, curious

"well, i felt sorry for her, thats all. And she doesnt seem to be a bad girl. As what i have told you all over the chat." sheryl said, patting miku

"although apples dont fall far from the tree, i do agree with sheryl." lica said, as rena didnt quite mind. "anyways, your homeworks girls." she added, reminding them

"oh, right." nikki said, as she and sheryl now both get to work

"so leo, we would now like to ask you. What is now your decision with all of us and our futures?" lica said, as this made the girls curious

"i plan to tell you girls all that you need to know, and discuss our futures together. I have a plan for that, would you girls like to hear?" leo said, before the girls agreed

After that, they all return to their classrooms, right after hearing leos plan.

"in the years of the krood war, everything really changed. From our own cultures, to land masses changing very fast. Such as this country, where its now a combination of what was known as south korea, japan, and the philippines. Where majority of south korea broke off, as well as the northern part of the philippines, to combine with japan. To form a new land, with a united landmass, and a new nation born under it, unlike before. Question: what is the name of that new nation?" hera said, which everyone raised their hands to answer the simple question

"neo japan." a student said, as he stood

"and why was it named that way?" hera said, to continue the question

"because of the democratic negotiations that was held by each head of the country back then, when they started to notice the changes." that student said

"very good, you may sit now." hera said, moving on to the next topic. "with that negotiation, a new country was born, amongst all that went dead. Both due to the krood occupation and the war itself." she said

"but why and how did the krood ever occupy a part of earth?" sheryl said

"good question miss lee. It was all because of those other countries, who had difficult positions themselves. So when almost al countries now agreed to a peace treaty, the krood landed on the land with the biggest mass, russia. Which eventually became a wasteland, right after they were driven off by the heroes of the time, which includes kevin yu. Where it was said that he might have volunteered, as he was part of those people who dont like the krood." hera said

"and he was right, am i right?" rena said

"yes, he was right. He then found out about all the abnormal doings of what the krood did to all other humans, which then started a revolution against all those leaders who agreed to the peace treaty." hera said

"of course, no one likes war, which is why they chose the wrong path to begin with." nikki said

"also, many cultures died and many also changed, specially with the special law today, in which a man is now permitted to have multiple wives. Question: why is that?" hera said, as lica raised her hand

"in order to bring back what was lost, manpower." lica said

"correct. And what happened to the worlds religion by then?" hera said

"majority were abolished and gone, while whats left are some of the major religions." lica said, before she sat again

"back then was utter chaos, i tell you." leo said to himself, with a facepalm, which only lica and nikki could hear

"ok. Great answer miss misto--" hera said, before she was cut off

*school bells ringing*

"oh, and as christmas break is almost here, lets all not forget to be mindful and be responsible of what we do over the holidays. Class dismissed." hera said, before class ended

"its almost that time of year huh.. What shall we do by then leo?" nikki said to leo, who was now storing back his stuff in his bag

Rena and sheryl also came at the right time, when she asked the question.

"lets have a party again, just like last time." leo said

"i think my parents are with my brother, who is still rehabilitating from his major injuries." rena said

"mine is currently busy, mother is on another tour, and father has a christmas party with his employees and head of other branches." sheryl said

"i think my parents are on a business trip by the same date." lica said

"for me, i want my parents to have some privacy over that time. Which is why i would like to suggest us for some vacation time." nikki said, before she presents some tickets to an inn

"ah! Thats the inn nikki!" rena said, pointing at the tickets, and referring to her previous date with leo

"yeah, i know. You even mentioned it to us. Which is why i chose the place." nikki said, with a big smile

"sheryl, please also let miku know if you want." lica said

"got it." sheryl said, as she agrees

"so, its decided then. And remember our deal, alright girls?" lica said, as the girls agree

"uhh.. What deal?" leo said, curious

"its a secret, for now." nikki said, with a wink

Then on the week of the holidays, they now go towards the inn where rena and leo once gone to..

"whoa.. What a nice onsen." miku said, as she soaked herself now in the onsen

They were now inside their room, where the inn was also like an old japanese inn. The only difference was that, they were now enjoying a private family onsen, inside their room.

"now this is paradise." nikki said, now in the water

"you said it." lica said, also enjoying the hot water

"good for you girls to have big boobs." sheryl said, with cute envy, while touching her boobs

"like we said--" both lica and nikki said, but was cut off by the sound of the door

"can i also enter?" leo said, as he enters, along with rena

"sure!" the girls said, except miku

"whoa! I knew we all share the same room, but also the same bath?!" miku said, now covering herself

"yes.. After all, this is a family room with a private family onsen." rena said, smiling

"and hes our future husband." lica said, as they agree

"our? Meaning--" miku said, before she was cut off, and blushing

"yes. If you really want that is." rena said, as she now got into the water too

"but werent you against me in the first place?" miku said, now about to cry with joy

"not after hearing what happened to you after that. No girl should be left so miserable like that, specially by her parents!" rena said, with feelings

"come on in leo! We are now just waiting for you." lica said, as she noticed leo watching at the side, holding in his excalibur

"but are you girls sure about this?" leo said, nervous

"yes, we are sure." nikki said, as the girls agree

"if you will also have me, then im alright with it." miku said to leo

"alright then, lets do this." leo said, now bracing his own destiny, as the snow also slowly falls down

With that, he made them all happy, as happy as he could make them. Which also lasted all night long.

Meanwhile, at mark steppings office..

"dear, we could pay attention to our only daughter you know. Even i can tell that shes lonely." mika said, as she touches his shoulders

They were still in their business attire, even if its at night, where they are waiting for something.

"yes, but if everything will go right, even she might not need leo anymore. We wont need him anymore." mark said, on his seat at his office

"but shes our daughter. It wouldnt kill you to just--" mika said, but was cut off by an incoming video call

"greetings mr and miss steppings, it seems that we now have our search team ready to deploy." one of them said

The other members of the illuminati was now on screen..

"got it. We were waiting for news about it. So, when will you guys approve for their mission?" mark said, as they all are listening

"the mission will start.."
