“Oh, this gotta be good.” Orange Bunny mumbled at White Bunny’s ear.“So much tea… I don’t know what I will do.” Brown Bunny whispered at both of them.Smart couldn’t hide his excitement as the weather started to change violently. The soft rain that dropped on their bodies gradually became faster as if they were to be pierced by countless bullets.“Smart, how about controlling your emotions?”“Ah, sorry, Sir General.” He giggled low.At the same time, the droplet decreased like before.“I am a mere commander.” Smiley coughed low and deliberately glanced at Hisoka.hinting on the man for something obvious.“Any promotion will be handled properly at our own base.” Hisoka clicked his tongue and squeezed Eagle’s waist.“Ngh! Hurt…”“AH!” He released the veiny hand from Eagle’s waist and cooed at the youngest. “Brother is sorry. He is a bad person, right?”“Yes, you are a bad person.” Eagle whimpered.“O cho cho. Brother is sorry.” Hisoka patted his back gently. Hisoka was treating Eagle
“I don’t know that they will pull everything to the bottom?” Sly Hyena whispered at Smiley’s ear with astonishment. “I knew.” Smiley folded his arms over his chest. He indeed knew. Smart and Captain were vicious snakes that would never let go of their prey no matter what. The higher the position of their enemies was, the more they love to trample them down below the earth. Those were the kind of people Smart and Captain. “They should have been grateful that Izaya didn’t participate.” He mumbled under his breath and simply smiled at the man who stared sharply at the Kings. White shuddered upon hearing that vicious name. “Yeah, they should be grateful.” Izaya didn’t even participate out of respect for these two kings. He had served these kings starting from their ascending day and until a while ago. And most ironically, he did it out of his own volition. “He loves the kings.” Brown Bunny intercepted. “He sure did.” Blue Bunny scowled. “Not more than our youngest, though.” Black
“I am pitying the Kings,” Petal snorted.Brown was intrigued and leaned in. “Did you respect the Kings?”“Who says that?” Petal raised his brow.“You are pitying them.”“So? Can’t I even feel it?” “Once a pity comes to you, you will try to pay attention to them. And once it happens, respect will slowly build up inside you.” Someone else at the back interjected with their murderous aura.“That…” Petal arched his head to the back. The ever silent Shizuo came into view. “Are you talking according to your personal experience, oh my kind sir?”Shizuo bit his lower lip and looked down, a guilt surfaced from that face. ‘Unless my eyes go blind, I will never see that happen by my own volition. I will stop respecting those who don’t deserve that.’“Why did you say that?” Both Brown and Shizuo raised their heads and watched Petal deeply after listening to Petal’s sincere mind.Petal shrugged his shoulders and looked at the front once again. “Not everyone is deserving of respect, respect is ea
“Indeed…” He sighed. “But, I don’t want that.” “But why?” He twisted his waist and faced Eagle that already leaned his back against the bench while crossing his arms. “Because death is too easy for them.” “Oh!” That sound popped out of his lips. “I can’t let them have an easy death. Shadow has suffered enough.” “Obviously.” “We will punish them by letting them survive this world.” “What punishment should we inflict upon them?” Realizing that Eagle had no intention to forgive the twins, he felt happy. “An eternal work.” An eternal work!!! It was indeed an ideal punishment to monopolize the kings’ power. “I see…” The smile on Hisoka’s face appeared for the first time after the accusation ended. “It is indeed a befitting punishment for them.” An eternal work was an endless punishment that the twins would have to carry for the rest of their life. They would keep their position as the lords of SO but with additional work. In other words, they would become an eternal slave of
Izaya shot up and his eyes were seeking Eagle’s attention from afar.Watching his desperate eyes, Eagle beckoned him closer with an approving smile.Swiftly, Izaya walked in front of him and leaned in. A pang of guilt covered all his clear face. They were talking about something, the atmosphere was full of seriousness. A couple of seconds later, they separated their way with satisfied expressions.Eagle went toward Hisoka while Izaya went to the opposite side - the twins.“Are they gonna be okay?” Hisoka clenched Eagle’s shoulder as soon as he stepped next to him.Eagle scorned him. “What’s the point of this dagger if I don’t use it appropriately?” Hisoka was baffled. His eyes rolled back, thinking of a rebuttal. “I–I don’t know. A threat… perhaps?”He’d given the dagger simply for a threat. He didn’t expect Eagle to go beyond.“... go big or go home, I guess?”Hisoka raised his hand and clenched his fist to hit Eagle’s head. “I ought to–”“Hahahaha.” He responded with a new smile be
“Ugh, ugh!” First and Second squirmed on the floor, blood oozed out of their wounds.Izaya and Shizuo gave their final glance before turning away.“Did you control your strength, Twin?”“I did, Izaya.” “Don’t forget. Your attribute is strength. We can’t let him die.”“Don’t worry. Aqil is sturdy enough as it is.”“Aqil? It’s been a while since I heard that name.”“It seems that they’d forgotten ‘bout their roots.”“Ha ha ha. They need to relearn the importance of life.”“Both Aqilah and Aqil. Specifically Aqilah.”Izaya promptly nodded. “Alright. I’ll ask around. Probably we will find a gem amongst the sparkling stones.”“Hopefully.” Shizuo extended his hands toward Eagle within his peripheral gazes. “My little one.” His changeable intonation shook everyone near.Eagle matched his energy by lunges toward him. “Brother!” He shouted excitedly.“Brother Hisoka.” Izaya dropped the formality yet bent his head to Hisoka who was staring at him.“Izaya.” Nodded. “What will happen to them?”
However, none of them budged from their place. Their legs followed Eagle everywhere he went like baby chicks with their sparkling eyes. “What are you doing right now? Have I not dismissed you, already?” Hisoka fake coughed to control the sea of jealousy inside him.“We want to spend this limited time with him.”“We want to see him until the end.”“We will miss him.”“I just want to say bye-bye to our beloved youngest.”A few voices rose flatly, rebuking him.Hisoka gritted his teeth to the point the smile on his face was menacing enough.It wasn’t enough to drive them away. All of them were high-ranking executive soldiers who survived alongside Shadow and helped her to create the current situation. None of them was lacking in anything.Furthermore, their loyalty toward Shadow was beyond a normal person’s mind. Therefore, they accepted and respected all of Shadow’s other alter egos and treated them accordingly. They have accepted Shadow just the way she was.Falcon, Eagle, and Black S
No one knew that Eagle had lost his battle. He had served his purpose and was now forcefully submerged into Shadow. Similar to Falcon, Eagle would have no chance to emerge back again.Unless someone allowed it. Someone stronger than Shadow.Of course, it was Black Shadow.‘I’m sorry Eagle. There will be no more next time for you and Falcon. I have arranged everything for Shadow’s sake. Please forgive my rudeness. Everything I did for Shadow’s sake. We can’t let her sink even further. Now, she is saved by both of you. Thank you for your service, comrade.’Black Shadow spoke to Eagle before he disappeared for good – until he was summoned once again.‘We are, necessary to protect her from the cruel world.’Despite how unfair Black Shadow treated him, he understood the reason to a certain extent. They exist for Shadow’s sanity and ceased for Shadow as well. The world was round and the treatment was never fair. Eagle and Falcon knew as much.Eagle flashed the most beautiful smile to Black
