4. My own effort!

"My own effort!"

"Uy, Hunter! Buy me some bread outside. I want to eat before bed." Drake's tease.

Hunter was busy fiddling with his cellphone at those moments.

"Wait, I'm still bathing Pou." He answered annoyed.

"Ay, anak na lase! I'll buy it, Drake. You, Hunter, are already addicted to Pou." Blade retorted.

"I want someone to take care of. There is nothing wrong with my trip, okay? Maybe I will break your faces if you won’t stop bothering me." Hunter retorted.

Drake has already handed the money to Blade. After that, he turned to Hunter who was still busy with Pou. He grinned because he thought something silly.

"Do you want someone to take care of? So you persevered there with Pou?! Abuwisit ak pa!"

"Don’t shatter my trip!" Hunter was irritated .

Drake laughed foolishly.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! If you really want someone to take care of... Then, drink energy drink!"

Hunter glared at Drake. Blade just kept watching the two.

"Why I need to drink an energy drink?"

"You need that because you will fly far... You will go to Serene and then... Make a request... Do what you can take care of. A baby! He he he he he!"

Drake laughed heartily, so did Blade.

"Good idea!" Blade agreed.

Hunter angrily lowered the cellphone and quickly approached Drake. And...

"WAAAAAHHHH! H-Help me, B-Blade!..."

Hunter is choking on Drake. He is very angry. Obviously bent.

"Have fun with me... But don't involve Serene in your antics!..."

"B-BLADE!..."

Blade just scratched his neck and laughed.

"Hunter, don't kill Drake ah? That's my best-friend." he just said.

He walked out.

"Don't worry, I won't bury him yet!"

"TAAAAAHHH!..."

Blade just smiled at what he heard. He continued walking. He immediately went to the bakery where Francis worked for part time.

"Sir! What are you going to buy?" Francis spoke politely to him.

It smiled at him broadly.

"Wait, I'll choose first..."

"All right, Sir!" its lively language.

He hovered over the shelf where the loaves of bread were displayed.

"Hmmm.... Give me four ensaymada, three egg tarts and five Spanish bread."

He smiled, because Drake did not clarify what bread to buy and how many. 'It's up to him...' Francis immediately put the bread he mentioned in the paper bag. He immediately paid for it after handing it to him.

"Thank you Sir! Come again!"

"All right, thank you too!"

He was walking home and was still whistling when he saw someone selling chicken skin nuggets. He quickly ran to where it was.

"Twenty pesos nuggets, please!" he said immediately.

"Oh, Sir! I'm sorry. My goods run out. The boy bought my last nuggets..." the salesman apologized.

Blade was stunned.

"W-Whose child is he? Where is he?"

"There!" the salesman pointed to the child's whereabouts.

Blade quickly turned around. He saw a boy, it was not too far away... Blade took a deep breath and wiped the side of his mouth. He really wanted to eat the chicken skin nuggets. He was in desperate mode. He ran fast and went to where the child was. He blocked it and the boy looked at him.

"Why?" the boy asked in amazement.

His hair is curly and the color is light brown. Nut-brown the color of the eyes and white skin. It was just the same age as Conrad.

"I'm sorry... But I really want to eat chicken skin nuggets even if I just taste them... Can I ask for even one?"

Blade smiled broadly. He really tame his face. The child stared at his face for a long time. He seemed to be thinking or something. After that...

"Hmp! I don't want to!" the boy said frowning.

"E-EEEh?!" Blade's eyebrows furrowed.

The child's snout grew long and he looked annoyed at his face. It looks pissed off...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! I said, I don't want to." its language is still strong.

"Child, just one... Give it to me oh!" Blade's tease.

"No!"

Blade smirked... He was about to sneeze. He looked at the plastic cup he was holding with chicken skin nuggets... Lots of nuggets, with matching vinegar full of onion, and cucumber... He smelled the fragrant sauce and he became even more desperate. He was craving!

"Child, don't be emotive! It is bad to be stingy... You must be generous. I only ask for one nugget from you. Only one, promise! So give it to me oh!"- Blade in his very desperate mode.

The boy smiled broadly at him this time. Blade celebrated those moments. His smile was within earshot.

"I'm not an stingy. I just don't want to give away." the child smiled.

The tone of speech explains it. Blade was stunned. His jaws were already tighten... His teeth were already broken. But he would not give up! For chicken skin nuggets!

"Child, I'm begging you. Give it to me. Just a nugget, please!... Have mercy. My baby might fall into my womb!"

'He was just a kid, he doesn’t know anything about that!' he thought.

The boy's eyes widened and he was stunned by what he said... Blade even rubbed his stomach and frowned pretending. Then he looked at it with teary-eyed mode.

"Eh, you're really poor. All right, I'll give it to you. But I have a condition!"

"What condition?! All right, just tell me! I'll look at it with great gratitude! What?"

"I will feed you!" innocent language of the child.

"Oh, all right! I love that! You're so smart kid! Thank you!"

The boy laughed at what he said. Excited Blade bowed. The child took the nugget from plastic cup he was holding with food.

"Say, aaahhh!" the child smiled.

"Aaaahhh." Blade said willingly.

It slowly brings the food to his mouth... That's why, when it was so close to his mouth, the child's hand suddenly turned and...

"Ahm! Yummy!"

Poor Blade was left in the air.

"Anak na lase, animal! Buset! Why?!" he exclaimed.

"I suddenly changed my mind." The child said teasing.

"Abuwisit ak pa, animal ay! Anak na lase! BUUUSEEET!" he was really annoyed.

The boy blinked and looked at him.

"W-What did you say?"

Blade was stunned and covered his mouth in confusion. Then he looked anxiously at the boy who was staring at him.

"Ah...eh... It’s nothing! Forget it. Don't study it, because it's Bad!"

"You just know it's bad eh why is it still coming out of your mouth?!"

The child's voice changed... Suddenly, it became low and matured. Blade was stunned as the child slowly grew and his appearance suddenly changed. Gabriel-one of the seven archangels.

"Oh my gosh, Blade! You're embarrassing! You really have a thick face! But, there's nothing wrong with asking so I'll let it go... It's just that, you didn't pass my little test! "

"T-Test?!" Blade's puzzled language.

"Of course! It would have been okay, because no matter how much I tease you, I have not heard a word that hurts my ears. Case, in the end.. Those bad words still burst into your mouth. Your old but you never matured! How many punishments you have!" Gabriel's sermon.

"D-Don't be like that... It's just a slip of the tongue!"

"Slip of the tongue or hobby?"

"Hobby! Ay! Wrong-I just made a mistake in what I said! It's really just a slip of the tongue. It's just an isolated case. So, have mercy, please...?"

"Isolated case... Hmmm.... What punishment can I give you?" Gabriel grab his chin.

He thought deeply... Blade was suddenly confused and did not know what to do. Until he suddenly thought. He just hope it works.

"Do you want bread? Go and choose.. I'll give you, go ahead. I'll treat you with drinks if you like... He he he! Choose a bread, handsome, kind and forgiving Gabriel."

It was very obvious that Blade was just flattering.

"Shut up there, Blade! Ande lay atet! Your flattery will not work for me. You really made me a naive child ah? "He said annoyed.

Blade frowned and shivered. He sign of a cross in no time. Gabriel suddenly snap into the air. He had an idea.

"I know that! Maybe, you need to be young to really grow old!" Gabriel exclaimed.

"Uy, nothing like that! Just make me a girl! That's okay with me!"

"Flirty! What is that, so that you can flirt and fool people again?! I really feel sorry for Aleister, you fooled him so it's better, I’m just gonna make you a child so you can grow old!"

"NOOO!..."

Blade ran but...

"HERE YOU GO!..."

Gabriel jumped into the air. He accumulated power in his right hand and after that... He threw the white light at Blade. Blade rose into the air and... PUUUFFFFF! There was thick smoke all around. And when it subsided, Gabriel was exposed, he was holding a baby. None other than Blade... He was also holding the bag of bread he was carrying. Blade's clothes also change.

"You're cute, Blade! Maybe, after this punishment... You will matured. Be kind ah?"

"Uuuuwaahhh... Bubu!" Blade replied.

Gabriel laughed!

"You're really cute!"

Meanwhile, the feud between Hunter and Drake has been resolved. Back to normal... As usual, Hunter was busy with Pou and Drake just chose to watch T.V.

They just kept quiet. Until they heard a series of knocks. Drake stood up first.

"I'll open it." he said to Hunter.

He did not hear an answer from it. Drake walked to the door and opened it...

"HAAAAH?!"

Drake was stunned when he met Gabriel. His wide smile greeted him. He was carrying baby. And holding a bag with breads...

"Hello! Won't you let us in?"

"Ahm... Come in! Come in..."

Hunter quickly pocketed his cellphone when he saw Gabriel. He stood up suddenly and immediately approached it.

"Oh, Gabriel! What do we have? If you're looking for Blade eh. He went out for a while to buy some bread." Hunter's successive language.

"Yes, I know..." this language means.

"Who is that baby? Your son?" Drake asked.

Gabriel did not speak. He just laughed softly and after that, Drake and Hunter just stared intently at the baby he was carrying.

"Hmm... This baby looks so familiar." Hunter commented.

"I agree..." Drake's second.

Gabriel sighed and smiled broadly at those in front.

"Guys, I'm introducing you to Baby Blade! Say hello, baby Blade!"

"Bubu! Dek, Hanta!"

"Aaaaaahhh!...." the two shouted almost at the same time.

They were dumbfounded for a few seconds and when they both realize, they stared at the cute baby again. After they took a good look at the features of its face, there was no doubt... This is Blade!

"W-What happened?" Drake asked Gabriel reluctantly.

"Where did Blade get punishment, huh?" Gabriel's casual language.

"Oh, dear! Blade really is... How is it now?" Hunter retorted.

He rubbed his forehead and shook. Gabriel handed the bag with bread to Drake. The latter immediately took it.

"As usual, Drake will be the one to temporarily replace Blade in teaching and of course... And you Hunter, will take care of this cute baby."

Gabriel smiled at the two.
