Continuing Chapter 1.5...
Hjalmer: “How’s your day, kiddo?”
Donovan: “Meaningless.”
Hjalmer grins knowing he’s in front of his best friend.
Hjalmer: “That, right there, is the Donovan I know”
Hjalmer claps his hands, as he cheers Donovan up. Hjalmer: “Welcome to your show, Meaningless purpose. The show now… begins.”
THE TIES COME TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN WHILE GOOD AND EVIL FUSE TOGETHER!
4:09 P.M. The battle became a whirlwind of indefinitely swift blows, windows breaking like a heart confessing to someone. The walls were scarred, as if they were suppressed emotions that get worse with each blow given. Hjalmer increased his punches speed, the acceleration was enough to go through Donovan's guard, connecting about 34 punches in 3 seconds making a heated wound.
Donovan summoned sharp screws throwing them to hjalmer's weakest points; Throat, chest & Legs. However, at the last moment, Hjalmer stopped the screws without touching them.
Donovan: “I thought you're just messing around with me dude.”
Hjalmer: “Don't you miss the times we used to dodge our punches? That was one of most fun things I've done in my life”
Hjalmer laughs innocently without attacking his best friend.
Donovan laughs too as he follows the commentary, realizing the moments they spent together excluding past fights.
Donovan: “Oh yeah… those moments, I mean, you were pretty good with those combos, in fact, you're almost a master in fighting.”
Hjalmer: “Almost?! Why are you sayin that hahaha! I remember winning eight times against you. But I feel like you were just holding back… Like right now.”
His joyful expression changed to a serious and cold expression about to hunt down a weak bunny. Donovan stays joyful but able to react at the last moment, as Hjalmer threw a question mark kick but failed to connect it.
Donovan: “Oh shoot I did forgot, I'm holding back”
Hjalmer: “You always hold back, meaningless purpose.”
Hjalmer says that with a disappointed expression.
Donovan: “Well, there's a reason why.”
Their knuckles connected, ensuring an unforgivable fracture between the two. Fractured knuckles… They both healed themselves with their advanced understanding of JégosGalia. As the two increased their speed every second, Aeris just stared at them as if she were a football spectator. Seeing two players looking for immediate ways to finish off their opponent. As they relied on martial arts, it became like the depth meaning of a true choreography, as if they were dancing to see who had the best performance…! Hjalmer could feel that his boredness gave him an idea to make his fight even more exciting… By taking advantage of Aeris. He instantly swapped places in just 100 miliseconds to attack Aeris, but as soon as he switched places and tried to connect a side whip kick, a blue orb appeared, protecting her. After hjalmer realized, donovan did this, he had no choice but to move kinetic energy from the floor into Donovan's body, paralyzing it… A furious barrage of nail slashes, followed by a roundhouse kick damaged the protecting orb of Aeris… Donovan was surprised by the way Hjalmer moves, because he’s usually a offensive brawler to finish fights quickly… Ever since the root began to grow, Hjalmer had a habit of being aggressive no matter what, almost always looking for reckless ways to take down Donovan while fighting or practicing. This time, Hjalmer moved with elegancy and precision. In this situation, he prioritized technique, speed, precision and timing over brute force... So how is it that he is able to break the shield?
Donovan: “How the hell were you able to create cracks in the shield…?!”
Hjalmer: “Let me show you once again.” Hjalmer duplicated his technique, so the cracks became wider and noticeable…
Donovan: “Is that-”
Hjalmer: “Bingo” Hjalmer interrumpted Donovan, as he was ready to explain at detail what he did to Aeris’ shield.
Hjalmer: “Precision, technique, speed and timing. Sure, it's a shield and there are ways to break a shield, so I used my jégosgalia. For every hit I landed, I didn't do it to break the shield, but to penetrate the 50,000 layers behind the shield. When I was a few inches away from landing my punch, my jegosgalia multiplied the speed of my punches by x600.”
Donovan: “So how were you able to break through the layers without even breaking your bones?!”
Hjalmer: “When I immobilized you I stole kinetic energy from you, creating energy sponges that protected my fingers based on the energy I took from you, surprising, isn't it?”
Donovan: “Don’t even think you’re gonna win this one.”
He said firmly.
Hjalmer: (Laughing in a creepy tone) “Now that you mention it, why is Aeris terrified? Hmm, did my games surprise her? Hahahahaha”
Donovan: “What did you do to her…?”
Hjalmer just stares at him with a smily face, expressing his signal of someone who is about to destroy everything without mercy. Since they were kids who played and trained together, they knew their own behaviours.
Donovan doesn’t let out a word, letting all that silence be in abundance.
Hjalmer: “Again with your bad mood??? Don't you ever learn? God, you let me down, brother. “
Hjalmer is put off by Donovan's typical response.
Hjalmer: “Well? Will you do anything about it?”
Hjalmer asks unnecessarily, knowing that Donovan would do something.
Instantly, a line of gold cut through a hjalmer fringe, as it gave him time to react. Donovan just stares at him with the intention of torturing him. And so, he rises, freeing himself from his jegosgalia. Donovan and Hjalmer fight back, creating a shockwave that sends Aeris, Lawrence, and Eleorona flying. Donovan was tired, he wanted to get this over with quickly, so he had to create a transparent layer of ice for himself. That is why he let Hjalmer attack him, but because of the contact he made, his hands froze.
Hjalmer: “W-WHAT?! What kind OF JOKE IS THIS? You don’t EVEN KNOW MY JEGóSGALIA!!”
Hjalmer lost his calm so he rushed to Donovan once again, as he was shocked, not knowing why he was losing agility and air
Hjalmer: “EXPLAIN THIS, WHY THE HELL AM I LOSING OXYGEN?!”
He shouted at the top of his lungs to Donovan with the anger of a lion.
Donovan: “You try to touch my ice cap, and every time you make contact you speed up your attacks using your jegósgalia by compensating for your body heat, which you are unable to touch.”
He replies, with a confident attitude.
Donovan: “Sigh… God’s Rend.“
Hjalmer: “Don't. Even. Start. With your cocky behaviour.“
Donovan calls out his jégosgalia, as he extends his hands to the ceiling, knocking Hjalmer out.
Hjalmer falls into a fighting stance, as if he was about to attack Donovan at the last second. Meanwhile, Aeris comes back to consciousness for what happened and helps Donovan stay on his feet because of how much he used his jegósgalia.
Aeris: “Sorry for not doing anything, it's a lot I've been through... I feel.. guilty....”
Aeris comments with a lot of eagerness to apologize for over a million times.
Donovan: “Hey, its okay, it's not your fault that you're like this with hjalmer... And in fact, I feel like you should tell me what has provoked you.”
Donovan takes his composure and decides to keep an eye on Aeris. She stays silent, as the atmosphere gave them a signal to keep moving and take Eleorona & Lawrence out of the place.
Donovan runs over to the wounded, checking to see if they had any serious damage and apparently only scratches.
Donovan: “Oh, what a relief, now we can leave without so much difficulty.”
Eleorona becomes conscious and moves with difficulty, hinting at how difficult it was for them to fight the mysterious hitman in front of them.
Donovan: “Sister! Be still, I'll heal you.”
Eleorona: “N-no... Not me, dumbass..”
Eleorona speaks in a soft tone as she stutters.
Eleorona: “If you look closely, Lawrence doesn't have wounds on his back, but he does have wounds on his chest...”
Donovan turns to Lawrence and looks at a circle with an X on it again, which for some reason, has felt like he's seen that sign before.
The protagonist is shocked, clearing his consciousness, he simply focuses on the circle with an X. Aeris and Eleorona try to get Donovan's attention, but as it becomes impossible, the two punch Donovan to wake him up.
Aeris & Eleorona: “WAKE UP, DUMMY!”
Donovan returns again, and realizes what he is seeing and heals Lawrence immediately.
Donovan: “Sorry... It's just that that circle with the X...”
Eleorona: “It's the second time you've come across that, isn't it? Do you know what it means?”
Donovan: “No... But it looks familiar to me for some reason…”
Eleorona: “You explain it later... Let's get out of here... Before that damn one wakes up...“
The sister is desperate to get out as she feels that the predator will wake up very soon…
As the squad was leaving the scene, Lawrence woke up, warning them of the danger Hjalmer could cause.
Lawrence: “Nngh. Listen to... me…”
Peacefury speaks with difficulty, so that others can hear what he experienced
Lawrence: “We... We won't be able to stop Hjalmer... And I'm not saying that because it's impossible, but that, right now, Hjalmer is in his best form...”
Donovan: “Lawrence...”
The protagonist responds without any hope.
Lawrence: “Donovan, how did you defeat Hjalmer?”
Donovan: “Knocking him out with my jegosgalia.”
Lawrence: “So... Just like that?”
The answer he expects is yes, but...
Donovan: “No, it wasn't simple”
Lawrence: “W-What? How? W-Why?”
The Italian asks as if his doubts were never answered.
Donovan: “Well... It's simple to explain, but doing it was a bit complicated... In case you didn't know, when Hjalmer uses his jégosgalia, he loses some of his body heat, capable of giving him chills or difficulty moving”
Aeris: “And how do you know that?”
She asks with surprise and intrigue.
Donovan: “I found out 3 years ago, Hjalmer and I got into a battle one day over issues I won't mention... Whenever he used his jégosgalia a lot, he was unable to move for a few seconds or he would get dizzy... That was because he compensated for his body heat with his kinetic power...”
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Lawrence: “That explains it... So we have a chance to at least face him...?”
Donovan: “Definitely. However, Hjalmer is a prodigy in martial arts, who always finds effective ways to solve things, in a few fractions of seconds, he solves it... Also, I had to release oxygen from his body to knock him out, it took me some time to imagine the process... But it was worth it…”
Eleorona: “Leaving that aside, can we leave now? I have to take a bath and I'm sleepy...”
Eleorona comments with much complaint, to the point of begging the other three to hurry up
Donovan: “You never change.”
Eleorona: “What did you say?”
The sister wants to listen again to what her younger brother said to give him what he deserves, however, he keeps quiet to prevent problems.
Eleorona: Hmph, that's what I thought.
Aeris: (yawning) “Well, I'm feeling tired too...”
Donovan: “And you did almost nothing.”
The teenager comments grumpily and without any regrets.
Eleorona: “RESPECT HER! You don’t even know what has she gone through!”
Eleorona attacks her younger brother with electric ice stabs.
Donovan: “Oh, excuse me, your majesty... I won't do it again.”
Lawrence simply laughs at what happened, but changes his face when he receives a call from someone he knows.
Lawrence: “Let's get back to my house right away.”
Lawrence mentions it with extreme seriousness, as it is usually easygoing.
Aeris, Donovan & Eleorona: “Yes.”
After the exhausting and catastrophic event, the squad return to Peacefury’s house to rest & recover.
Eleorona: “Finally! We are at home, now I can relax and watch the new season of my favorite series in peace... This is paradise!”
Eleorona celebrates with anticipation and excitement for being able to rest after weeks of work.
Aeris: “I say the same thing! I'm even planning to do my nails in the meantime... Hey Eleorona, don't you mind if you accompany me with your nails?”
Aeris asks enthusiastically, expecting a yes
Eleorona: “Of course sweetheart, I haven't done it in a while, and I miss that!”
Putting Aeris and Eleorona aside, Lawrence finds Donovan, sitting on the backyard with lemon juice.
Lawrence: “Oh well, I didn’t expect someone like you to appreciate the weather, Donovan. You and your sister have some features in common, in fact, you guys behave the same.”
Donovan: “Somehow I expected you to say that… Its the 15th time someone mentions it.”
As Donovan talks, Lawrence sits down, next to the boy with golden eyes.
Lawrence: “Even that response is the same as your sister hahaha…”
Peacefury laughs but then changes his expression to a concerning one.
Donovan: “There’s something worrying you, isn’t it?”
Lawrence: “You know exactly what I’m referring to…”
Donovan: “Nah I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The Italian just stares at him thinking he knew what he was referring to.
Lawrence: “I’ll be honest, who is Hjalmer? Your sister has mentioned some things about him... She said he was someone polite and good people but for some reason he went to the other side, you must know something.”
Donovan: “Yes, but not enough, I actually feel like his presence changed the time we fought to the death.”
Lawrence: “To death? What the hell happened?”
Donovan: “I don't know, he asked me If I felt that I had to do something with the world and I offered my help, I insisted but then he did the first move…”
Lawrence remained silent, giving him permission to continue the situation.
Donovan: “Sure, it's okay to ask those questions but... He asked me in a strange way…”
Lawrence: “That’s impressive, both of you being close friends and then boom! Now you’re here.”
Donovan: “Our Dvasinis Nexus got all messed up thought.”
Lawrence: “Something’s off with him.”
Donovan stands up and looks up at the sky.
Donovan: “Of course, there’s something wrong…”
Donovan in his mind: “God damn I’m so hungry I can just eat a whale right now…”
Lawrence: “We have to prepare.”
The Italian also gets up and out of nowhere the two girls appear.
Eleorona: “Hey! What are you guys doing looking at the sky? Are you having a talk about how hard life is?! Come relax!”
Eleorona raises her voice suggesting what she is saying.
Aeris: “I say the same thing, especially you, owl.”
Donovan: I'm fine, don't worry about me.
Eleorona: “Ughh, how I hate that men think they're the roughest and most incredible. "Don't worry, love, I know how to take care of myself"
Eleorona expresses herself with grimaces.
Eleorona: “Donovan, you really have to rest, or else what happened 6 years ago will happen.”
The sister changes her tone from a loud one to a serious one.
Aeris: “Elen? What do you mean?”
Eleorona falls silent, knowing that she will have to say it.
Eleorona: “A year after Donovan got his jegosgalia, he used it recklessly that gave him immense headaches and hallucinations, those hallucinations came to life that caused damage in reality. “
Aeris and Lawrence are amazed by the ability of his jegosgalia.
Aeris: “Hold on... A few years ago a crack appeared in the news that opened up in the sky, maybe that's what you’re talking about”
Lawrence worries Donovan even more.
Eleorona: “After he became conscious a few minutes later, my brother stopped the hallucinations and stopped using his jegosgalia for 4 months”
Lawrence: “It's true, when someone stops using their jegosgalia for 3 months or longer, it reduces their potential.”
Eleorona: “For most people it's that way, but for my brother that wasn't enough time for him to lose his ability as a booster.”
After the three of them go about their personal business, 20 minutes pass; Donovan begins to feel nervous and anxious about the origin of the circle symbol and the X. This is how the golden-eyed teenager overthinks the things, he repeatedly hits in the stomach as a sign that he wants tregain his composure.
Donovan in his mind: “Tsk… What a huge headache...”
The severe pain made it difficult for him to stand, so he stays on his knees. After a few seconds, Donovan realizes that the side effect of his jegosgalia is beginning.
As the daggers inside his head continued stabbing him with the consequence of using the jégosgalia, Donovan tried to stay awake and not collapse, however, the vision fades like the last hopes of a flashlight battery and just like that, Donovan faints.
Aeris decides to go to the backyard to get some fresh air after bathing. Just as she is about to go to the yard, she finds Donovan on the ground, immediately calling out to Eleorona and Lawrence.
Aeris: “Elen! Lawrence! Donovan has fainted, come quickly, please!”
The two run to the voice of Aeris and lift Donovan to his room.
Eleorona: “I knew this was going to happen...”
By leaving him in his bed, Eleorona stops feeling serious and now behaves like an older sister worried about her younger brother.
Lawrence: “Hey eleorona, sorry for interrupting your moment, but could you explain to us what is Donovan’s jégosgalia?”
Eleorona: “He never told me what it really does… I think he doesn’t trust me enough, even if it’s just the jégosgalia. ”
Aeris: “What about that moment when you asked him to create a car?”
Eleorona: “Uhhh, that’s the thing, all he told me it was he can create stuff and how it worked.”
Aeris just stares at Eleorona, as she expected the ability to be cooler or more complex
Eleorona: “I’m not done yet… Sigh, do you guys remember when Donovan said it wasn’t quite simple for him to imagine Hjalmer’s oxygen to dissapear?”
The two nods, affirming they do remember.
Eleorona: “Well, sometimes he speeds up the outcomes when there’s more detailed information.”
Lawrence: “Ok… what else?”
Eleorona: “He also told me that he had a limit, which is how many times he can imagine something different. If he recycles information to use it again, the counter will not go up.”
Aeris: “And… What happens if he breaks the limit?”
Eleorona: “Headaches, fainting, and creating catastrophes.”
Lawrence and Aeris stay in silence by the last thing she mentioned. Eleorona just stares at them.
Eleorona: “What? I’m not making this up.”
Lawrence: “We get it, but it’s absurd what he can do. You kidding me? “
Eleorona: “I’m not even joking… Ugh, just leave It like that.”
As she repeats herself once again, Donovan opens his eyes slowly as he tries to comprehend his surroundings.
Aeris: “He's waking up!”
As Donovan gains consciousness, Eleorona shows her happiness without realizing.
Eleorona: “My precious brother!”
As she shouts, Lawrence and Aeris wrinkle their noses like if they smelled something disgusting.
Eleorona: “Hm? WHY ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?! I DON’T UNDERSTAND-”
Aeris asks her with a curious tone.
Aeris: “Are you that lovely…?”
Eleorona stared at her like her eyes had no life.
Somehow Aeris felt a bad feeling, like she was about to get knocked out.
Lawrence: “Okay uhh… Eleorona calm down you don’t need to put that face, please.”
The protagonist's sister maintained her slaughter expression and after a few seconds relaxed. Eleorona: “I'm not going to answer your question.”
She was embarrassed by what had happened... It seems that the Ivanels are cold, without showing any kind of affection.
Lawrence: “I guess for now we just have to rest, right?”
Donovan opens his eyes completely staring at the ceiling.
Donovan: “Did I faint again?”
Eleorona: “Yes... You don't even use your jégosgalia so often, that's why it happens to you...”
Aeris: “Lately I've been having visions of something...”
Lawrence: “You mean my precious cinnamon rolls? Heh.”
Lawrence responds proudly thinking that Aeris was referring to that.
Aeris: “Well, your cinnamon rolls are delicious but... Ah, how do I say it?”
Aeris is nervous that it is uncomfortable for her to talk about it.
Aeris: “Forget it.”
Eleorona: “Come on, tell us, we’re not gonna judge.”
Donovan: “Are you uncomfortable?”
Aeris: “Yes…”
Donovan: “Then don’t tell us until you’ve gained all our trust.”
Aeris nods her head silently, leaving the room to relax herself all alone.
Lawrence: “Well, I’m also gonna leave, take care.”
Eleorona: “You too.”
As the door closes, the two Ivanel brothers talk about their family…
After 2 hours everyone finishes their routine, Aeris studies human anatomy, Lawrence finishes making dinner, Eleorona talks to her manager for her next dance and Donovan rests well. Lawrence calls the three of them for dinner.
Lawrence: “The food is ready, come down for dinner!”
The Ivanel brothers rushed to the dining table as they showed off how hungry they were.
Lawrence: “Okay okay you two calm down… Jeez. Aeris, come here or the food is going to get cold!”
After some seconds, Aeris didn't answer, worrying Lawrence and the siblings.
Donovan: “Hey Eleo, I'll bet you €210 that Aeris is thinking about what she was going to tell us a few hours ago.”
The golden-eyed boy bets her believing that Aeris would be asleep.
Donovan: “Actually, I think she's asleep, hehe.”
Eleorona goes to Aeris' room worried, waiting for her to be okay.
Eleorona: “Hey honey, are you okay? Dinner is ready.”
While Eleorona was talking and walking inside, the room is in a disorderly and melancholy state. Eleorona enters the room and goes straight to Aeris' bed, for which she was wrapped up crying silently.
Eleorona: “Ahh Aeris, come here.”
Eleorona hugs her as if she were feeling a warm and pleasant touch that calms her little by little. Aeris in tears, tries to speak but only causes a stutter.
Aeris: “H-Hj...
Eleorona: “Hm? What are you saying? Come on, let it all out... I'm here with you. “
The older sister continues to pamper Aeris with pride.
Eleorona: “You can talk if you want to, I’m not forcing you to say anything.”
Donovan and Lawrence were curious of what was going on, so they both walked upstairs.
Lawrence: “What's going on?”
Donovan: “There's something that's on Aeris' mind that I guess is stressing her out.”
The girl cried less because of the security she had.
Donovan: “Now she’s not crying that much, hm.”
Lawrence: “Is there anything we can do, Aeris?”
Eleorona wipes off her tears as she mumbled.
Aeris: “Y-yeah… I just want to relieve… I’ve been overthinking things recently…”
Eleorona: “Aeris?”
The girl doesn’t responds and falls asleep.
Donovan: “Did… She just fall asleep? I don’t blame her though, that battle was exhausting.”
Lawrence goes downstairs to store Aeris’ food.
Eleorona: “Well, we’ll have to take care of her.”
Donovan: “Us? Why do I have to take care of her too? Can’t you do it yourself?”
Sparks and sharp crystals rose through her shoulders and torso, thus showing the tension and anger that Eleorona felt for her brother.
Eleorona: “How… Can you be disciplined… And not even have some empathy for someone...?”
The paced words had so much weight that Donovan regrets not taking responsibility. As Eleorona stands up and snuggles Aeris, she walks towards him grabbing his wrist and leading him out. Donovan was confused, believing that she was going to attack him. After being outside on the terrace, his sister sees him with a worried face.
Donovan: “First you activate your jégosgalia and now you bring me here? Get straight to the point, please.”
Eleorona: “I just hope you choose your words well, because we don't know anything about Aeris. I didn't like your behavior at all, luckily Aeris wasn't awake, but anyway, behave. Are you 17 years old and still not take responsibility? You just train to get stronger, but why do you want to get stronger? What motivates you? Hm?”
The golden-eyed boy just stood silent, unable to say a word, he felt like a fool for what he said.
Eleorona: “Sigh, I’m not forcing you to answer but you won’t always get what you want.”
She leaves him on the terrace thinking about lot of stuff. Donovan relaxes his hands on the railing as he thinks on what she said.
Donovan in his mind: “I do doubt why am I training… And, motivation? I don’t have any motivation… Tsk, how frustrating not being able to know the purpose of something…. Or maybe I just have to accept the fact that I don’t have a fullfilling task in my life. Or maybe just… Try things out?”
He now puts his heads on his arms as he mimics the action of being exhausted. He stops thinking for a second and after some time, the image of the circle & the X displays in his brain.
Donovan: “!? Why do I keep remembering this sign? Is it that important!?”
Donovan: “Something is telling me I should take action by now….”
The user of God’s Rend walks inside to continue eating his food. When he went downstairs he did not find his sister in the dining room, much less her plate.
Donovan: “Hey Lawrence, where’s Eleorona?”
Lawrence: “Well, she told me she was going to the store.”
Donovan: “Oh, well, okay, I'll eat my food.”
Donovan hints at how fascinating Lawrence's food is.
Lawrence: “I see you really like the pasta I made, I went through too many cooking classes from my grandmother and it was worth it in the end. Hehe.”
The Italian is proud of themselves for his achievements while the boy eats with great emotion.
Donovan: “Hhm, and are you a well-known chef?”
Lawrence: “Let's say yes... I've worked at famous restaurants that many customers have asked who makes the meals, and that's me.”
Donovan: “Wow, I'm surprised.. So, why are you a chef?”
The simple question lets you think.
Lawrence: “I cook for 2 reasons. The main one is because of the appreciation I have of my grandmother, she was one of the best chefs. The second is because I can release my creativity in my dishes that give joy to those who eat them.”
Donovan is surprised by the simple and clear answer he gave.
Donovan: “Do you think the purpose of something matters a lot?”
Lawrence: “Without the purpose many things would be in doubt. There would be no fixed direction, no meaningful goals to the point of dissatisfaction of living for the sake of living, and not living for meaning.”
This quote prompted Donovan to know what he needed to do.
Donovan: “You're right, besides being a chef, I didn't know you had that knowledge.”
The Italian laughs at his comment.
Lawrence: “Hahaha! You go through a lot to learn”
The golden-eyed boy also laughs while Lawrence washes the dishes....After a few minutes, Donovan finishes his meal and thanks Lawrence.
Donovan: “Thank you so much for the food.”
Lawrence nods and Donovan quietly retreats to his room.
Donovan: “I guess my goal now is... Discovering my purpose...”
Donovan hears a doorbell, checking through his window and sees that it is his sister. He thinks of a way to apologize to his sister and goes downstairs to help her.
Lawrence opens the door and gives her the welcome.
Lawrence: “Welcome, didn’t know you was that quick, I’m impressed. Here, let me help you with the groceries.”
Eleorona: “Thank you”
Donovan went downstairs to help them both, Eleorona didn’t even salute him for not noticing his presence.
Donovan: “Uh, Eleorona?”
The sister is frightened and throws a punch at Donovan but he dodges it easily
Eleorona: “DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THIS AGAIN!”
Donovan: “Excuse me, ah, and don't you mind if I help you too?”
Eleorona: “I would appreciate it.”
A silence came over the moment, but Donovan said something.
Donovan: “Eleorona, I know what to do now.”
Eleorona: “Oh, really?”
The girl perks up, changing her tone of voice.
Donovan: “Yes, I'm going to find my purp-”
Eleorona interrupts him with emotion.
Eleorona: “Will you clean the house for next week?! Excellent! That's my brother!”
She gets so excited that she speeds up with the groceries. Meanwhile, Donovan is speechless because of the misunderstanding he had.
Donovan in his mind: “Well... I suppose it won't be necessary to tell her... I'll keep it with myself.”
Chapter 2 ends.
