29. Gaunt Wintergreen
"GAUNT WINTERGREEN"
It's been almost a week since Grimm's fight in the cave happened... And during that time, his friends continue to tease that Mikee is the magical creature that helped them. But, he did not believe. And his best-friend also strongly denies that.
"Guys, stop me there for what you are saying. I am tired of saying that I did not help you. I am just an ordinary person, and at that time, I was with my Grandmother at home." Mikee said emphatically.
"Stop Mikee. How many times has he told you that he is not that. Besides, you said... The creature you saw had wings, eh look at Mikee, he was not there before." Grimm's second.
Mikee suddenly took off his uniform and his sando. He turned his back on Grimm's Kuwarog Boys.
"There, look carefully at my back if I have wings?" he asked everyone.
Grimm shook his head and smiled. Meanwhile, Rusty arrived at the tambayan. She sighed deeply at the scene. It looks like the Kuwarog Boys are still traumatized by what happened. Still teasing Mikee on something very impossible.
"Boys, stop Mikee. Move on." she greeted everyone.
They were stunned and looked at her with a smile. She walked over to them and put down her fruits-basket.
"Aunt Alice is giving it to you." she said.
"Ha? Why?" Mikee asked.
He put on his clothes again.
"She want to thank you because your group is no longer making trouble. You did not hurt her head for almost two weeks. I hope so, it will continue. Another, he also found out what happened to you so he was also worried."
Everyone shrugged and laughed.
"Please tell Ma'm Alice, thank you. But we cannot promise that we will not make a mess. You know, trouble is approaching us even though we are avoiding it. "Grimm said with a smile.
"Oh my..." Rusty scratched her head and shook.
Grimm and his friends are kind so she can't understand why so many students at school avoid them... Maybe, because of their image. But if they only get to know them better... She stopped thinking when she suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Uncle Clemen told me to see him to church later. He will see if your bodies are really okay from the beating you received. Especially you, Salv. He needs to take a good look at your body to make sure that the poison given to you by the Succubus demon is really gone..." she explained.
Mikee frowned and looked at him.
"Succubus Demon? Wait, what is that really? You always mention it but you don't explain it to me." its a question.
"You know, Father Clemen took me as an assistant, he is an exorcist priest, he fights demons. They were touched when we encountered a Succubus Demon..."
Grimm then explained to Mikee about that type of Demon. The Kuwarog Boys have also told stories to support the words of their boss. Mikee scratched his neck very hard and his sigh was pure. It was obviously hard to believe everything Grimm and his friends were saying.
"You know, sorry ah? It seems like it's hard to believe what you're saying. But, based on your stories to me, it was too dangerous for all of you to enter... Just avoid that." Mikee commented.
"It's vague that maybe we can still avoid such things. We've been involved eh. Maybe come what may." the language is Ricky.
"I told you, you do not have to be involved in this trip I entered. I will take care of my problem..." Grimm said to everyone.
"Asus, stop it. Where you are, there we are." against Reynaldo.
"Rey is right." Salvador agrees.
Grimm has done nothing more. He just looked at Rusty who only knew his secret in those moments. He just nodded and smiled sparingly at her.
Meanwhile... Gaunt looked intently at the face of his father Belphegor.
"What do you need?" Belphegor immediately asked him.
it is currently seated and deeply depressing. Its long, red hair is blown around its body.
"Father, let me out. I want to go to the world of people."
It blinked at him and smiled sarcastically.
"And what are you going to do there?"
"Hmm... Nothing, I just want to go there. Just in case I see something fun there. It's been too long since I stepped on that place, father."
Belphegor folded his arms and took a deep breath.
"All right, I'll give you a permission. And say hello to your good twin in case you see him. Please bring him here for me..."
Its eyebrows met and its jaws filled with anger.
"Do you still not forget that nonsense? I thought, you don't care about him anymore because he is useless?" Gaunt asked amuse.
It was shaken.
"You haven't heard of your brother's new update yet? Do you still remember the nasty pest Draurus?"
"And why did that ugly creature get into our conversation?"
"He was among the demons that ended... And according to the news I heard, Grimm was the one who did it."
Gaunt's eyes widened at what he heard. His lips parted and he swallowed a few times, out of sheer shock.
"Huh, how did that thing happen? Isn't Grimm incompetent? And after all, it was Draurus who often tormented him." Gaunt's sarcastic language.
"I think your brother's ability has awakened. It seems that his sleeping ability has come out. And the sad thing is, he is using it against us. And because of that, I want to give him a chance to reunite with us. We can use him against the enemies..."
Gaunt smiled at what his father had said.
"We don't need Grimm. I'm good enough for you because I'm strong..." Gaunt said arrogantly.
Belphegor shook his head and looked up and down.
"Are you afraid that your brother will outdo you, so you say that kind of opinion?"
Gaunt clenched his fists tightly and his eyebrows met. Anger can be seen registered on its face. But after a while, the expression on its face suddenly changed. Suddenly it became gentle and it smiled sweetly.
"I'll prove to you that we don't need that nonsense. All right, I'm leaving." he just said.
He turned around and left immediately. He feels very annoyed. Belphegor just heard that he woke up to Grimm's ability to suddenly change his mind. His ability is enough for the long war that is going on... If Grimm had any ability, it would have been only weak compared to him. From his right-fist came a bright flame. The light was very bright then because of its white color.
He is called the White Demon of Hell... His fist clenched too tightly and from there, blood flowed. Proves the extreme annoyance he feels. They don't care about Grimm anymore but it bothers them again after a very long time. It hid for a long time and they had no idea where it was... And now, all of a sudden they hear news from it. He took a deep breath to calm himself. Not only does he feel annoyed but he also feels intense excitement. He knew it would be fun when their paths crossed.
Because he will make sure he gives a strong fight to Grimm. And as always, he will not give mercy here. And the more he will not give it any chance to escape him. He would take it to Belphegor without even moving because of the glass he would give. He was just thinking about that thing he was already happy. For him, Grimm was just a toy.
The next day, Rusty sighed as she sat in the waiting shed outside the school. She will now go home alone because her friends have been detained. Grimm's group did something silly on campus again. They were caught by the math teacher a code during the exam... It was raining that afternoon and she was not carrying an umbrella, so she had no choice but to wait for the rain to subside.
"Those guys really. I just told them yesterday eh... Annoying!" she muttered.
"Hahahaha!"
She was stunned to hear that laugh. She turned to her side and was a little surprised to see the man sitting there... It looked strange. Its hair color is white and so are almost all garments. Its eyes are blue and it is as white as Grimm's. It smiled sparingly at her and it looked like it had been there before because obviously it had been staring at her earlier.
She looked around, they were the only ones there. She already felt a great loss as it did not take its gaze away from her.
"W-Why?!" she asked.
"Hmm... You're beautiful, so I'm glad to stare at your face." straightforward language.
Her eyes widened and she sighed in shock.
"Ah... Thank you. Are you new here? I-I just saw you now." her casual language.
"Hmm... Yes. I was from another place and very far away. I'm Gaunt Wintergreen, and you?"
It raised its right hand. She looked at his hand and she felt doubt. She looked at his smiling face. It looks nice. She reached for its hand.
"I'm Rusty Leigh, nice to meet you."
"Hmm... Rusty, nice name."
She was surprised when he grabbed her hand firmly and pulled her closer to it... He looked at her and stared into her eyes. He caressed her cheek and slowly parted the distance between them. Her lips parted and after that she pushed it hard. It fell from its seat and it looked at her in shock. He stood up and it looked up to her.
"What do you think you're doing, huh?!" her angry language.
He just met her and tried to kiss her right away. She could not believe it. Yes, it has good looks but it is very fresh... It is very far from Grimm. Gaunt smiled at her as if she had done nothing. It stood up.
"Sorry ah? I thought, it will work. Forgive me for what I did. You are different from the ones I first met. Do not be afraid of me, I have no evil intentions." Gaunt said meaningfully.
'Why didn't my hypnotism react to her? She must have been attracted to me when I just stared at her. She should be mine now... This woman is weird, she has something else.'
Rusty walked away and looked at him with disgust. If it weren't for the really heavy rain, she would definitely walk out.
"Can you stop looking at me like that?!" her even annoyed language.
It walked closer to her and went in front of her. He looked at her face and smiled, she looked up at it.
"I'm really sorry. Let me make up for the audacity I did. I didn't mean to..."
She was startled by the caress of her hair. She felt a hot wind and suddenly...
"Here, for you. A sign of my apology."
She was surprised when it handed her the white rose. She grabbed her hair and looked at his hand holding the flower... She stared at it in surprise.
"H-How did you do that?" she wondered.
It smiled sparingly and looked seriously at her face. She can't understand, but she feels weird about this man... It seems like he and Grimm have something in common but she doesn't know which one is there..?
"The magician does not divulge the secret of his magic."
Gaunt then cut the long rose stalk and pinned it to the girl's ear.
