Until next time Ciao Cubs~

“Azla!”

“Yeeeeah?”

Landon gestured for the grinning girl to come forward. As she got within two feet of him she raised his hand and flicked her forehead. Unhappily Azla withdrew her head and pursed her lips while giving a look of displeasure. She was clearly unhappy to get punished for her actions even if she knew it was wrong. However as if justifying herself her mood flipped right away and she spoke out.

“Brother! How could you stay in the game all day its Sunday! It’s the only day we all get off together and finally we are ungrounded and can come play with you. So you’ll play with us right?”

Azla pressed her little white hands together beginning with a hint of hopefulness in her eyes. As Landon looked to the side and saw Lisa was also begging however it could only be seen in her glinting eyes. Knowing fully that Landon would have to wait for the relog period anyways because he would 100 die from being left to those pigs he decided he might as well relax with his sisters after such a long time. The best part was Landon had already longed cashed in a giant chunk of the gold he earned from [Second Saga] through the RMT trading online. Even with him needing to save money for the future schooling of his family members ignoring them as a result wa something he couldn’t deal with and when he nodded in agreement a look of happiness covered both of the girls’ faces.

“Okay okay! Let me get changed have shower and what not.”

As Landon was about leave the room he noticed another presence. It was a girl he knew very well, but it was something that surprised him totally. In front of him was Sarah! It was no surprise to see his sister’s come over but to see Sarah come over as well was definitely surprise. After all Landon knew that Sarah was a shy girl like Lisa, although they had different levels of shyness because she had been teased by the customers and her parents about marrying him so many times she had never gotten the courage to come over in fear of the endless teasing becoming worse. But now here she was.

To add to the surprise, Sarah was wearing a pure white summer dress and lightly hung on her shoulders. Just barely showing enough of the snow like skin. It gave the impression of an elegant beauty. Her blonde hair was combed to the point of straight perfection without a single knot to be found. If Landon was to run his fingers down her hair it would be like running it a still lake unhindered by only the feelings of smoothness. Her pure green eyes showed a hint of embarrassment when Landon stared at her for a while, but she managed to hold it in not showing it on her adorable cheeks that made you want to pull them. In fact after looking at Sarah, Landon looked back towards Azla and Lisa.

He then noticed that they too were dressed up more than usual! For Lisa she was also wearing a cute summer dress however it was much more casual and was pink. It gave off a softness that brought out her cuteness and radiated her shyness. Her long black hair wasn’t tied in a rubber hand and flowed down her shoulders. Her glasses were perked up on the bridge of her nose giving the overall perfect appearance of a shy beautiful girl. On the other hand Azla was more tomboyish and wore a red tank-top with jeans that tightly showed her curves. As she was at the age of a young lady it was impossible to hide the perfect hourglass figure she had. Her blue eyes full of mischievousness and pride but when looking towards her brother they were filled with admiration and joy. With a nod Landon knew that all three of them were looking forward to hang out with him so he quickly grabbed a fresh pair of clothes and rushed into the shower.

After sometime, Landon and the three girls walked out of his apartment building. Unable to hold in their excitement any longer, Azla grabbed onto Landon’s hand along with Lisa and rushed forward.

“Woah! Wait Azla! Calm down, Wait Sarah grab my hand!”

“Wha- Ah!”

The moment Landon reached for her hand Sarah unconsciously went to grab his hand, but upon realizing what she was doing, she attempted to retrieve her hand but instead Landon took that slight delay and grabbed her hand causing Sarah to flush red for a millisecond before also being dragged away. Lisa lightly started to chide Azla.

“Azla! We have all day calm down!”

“Hmph! Stop being a party pooper sister!”

“Oh?”

“I mean… I’m sorry!”

With a single serious look Azla bent his head in defeat and Lisa responded with a pat on the head saying ‘That’s a good girl!’. At this sight of their slight bickering Landon couldn't help but start to chuckle. However when he realized they were no longer running, he forgot that his hand was still connected to others. When he followed whose hand he was holding he noticed that Sarah was currently fully beat red enough to pass out, in fact Landon had even momentarily thought she was unconscious until their gazes met and he immediately broke contact with her.

“Sorry!”

“Ah… No it’s okay!”

Flustered Sarah started to madly wave her hands around trying to calm herself down. When she did so Azla walked over and whispered something into her ear. But before she could finish Lisa was already dragging Azla by the ear away from Sarah. Fortunately for Azla she managed to finish what she wanted to say, unfortunately Sarah had heard it and was now to embarrassed to talk.

---------------

The three of them walked chatting happily amongst themselves until finally Azla rushed over to the front of a building, turned around and yelled out happily.

“Here! This is where we are going to spend the day!”

“....An arcade?”

“Yes!”

Azla happily rushed inside and even the usual calm Lisa couldn’t hold it in a longer and rushed in. When Landon looked on with confusion, Sarah softly explained.

“Although they know you’re gaming, they feel as if you’re stressing too much about the ‘game’ and so they decided to play games strictly for fun with you. They also are using their paychecks to pay for this. I know you want to say now, but for them just accept it alright?”

“...Yeah I’ll do that thanks Sarah!”

“....You’re welcome!”

After a slight pause Sarah was able to happily respond to Landon. After all she knew fully well how responsible Landon wished to be in front of these two girls. Now though seeing how determined they were to make his load a lighter and happier he felt a warmth filling his entire body. She too felt the warmth seeing Landon being happy. With that they both walked into the arcade together.

“Brother! Come here I want to play this one with you!”

Azla pointed to the fake street bikes and rushed to get on patting the one next to her waiting patiently for Landon to seat next to her. When Landon smiled, a hint of competitiveness sparked within him. At this time Landon noticed that deep hidden inside of Azula's voice was a challenge and as her brother how could he not accept it?

“Ready to get beaten?”

“You wish! I’ll stomp you!”

They immediately put in their few coins and started forgetting about their surroundings. Meanwhile Sarah walked up to Lisa who was a spectator and spoke out to her.

“Would you like to play that game Lisa?”

“Really?!”

“Yes!”

“Okay!”

Sarah and Lisa quickly walked over to two person shooting a game with zombies pictures on the side. When they started it up they were immediately frightened by the scary appearances of the zombies and forgot to shoot at them immediately losing the game. After finally noticing they both died they looked towards another and started to giggle happily. Although it was kind of a waste that didn’t bother them as they both couldn’t help but laugh that they reacted the same. They then started it again and this time gathered the courage to defend themselves.

“AH! You Cheated!”

“Oh? I don’t know what you’re talking about little sister!”

“Big brother!!!!!”

“Hehe! That’s what you get for trying to push me off, I’ll tickle you to death next time!”

As Landon said that he raised his hand in a victory like pose. Of course Azla knew she started the fight first and unhappily crouched down and sulked. But the moment she started to crouch she saw another game that she felt she had a good chance at winning.

“Brother! That one next!”

“Oh.. .I think I’ll pass on that one.”

As Azla pointed to a bigger machine with a padded floor on the ground, that had 4 coloured arrows in each direction. It was clearly a dancing game, something Landon was not confident in winning at against his sister. He didn’t know if she ever played it before but he knew he wasn’t a dance master and thus decided to avoid confrontation. After all he wanted to stay a champion forever not for a single game! But all hope was lost when Sarah and Lisa also showed interested and helped drag him over with Azla.

----------

Like he thought, Landon lost miserably! He couldn’t even lost a few steps before he failed. However to his surprise the next person who lost was Azla! She too had lost and it was only a few seconds after Landon. However to their surprise currently both Sarah and Lisa were like two fairies competing to see who would win! Only after a few minutes when the song ended did Landon and Azla realize they the two perfect scores would forever overshadow their abilities for dancing. Thus they deeply decided never to compete in dancing against those two.

-------------------

A long day of playing and gaming passed and Landon was already exhausted. He had long said his goodbyes to the girls and didn’t forget to buy them ice cream as hanks for taking him out. He was thoroughly tired but in a good way. He then left in high spirits returning home. When he arrived home he cooked up a good healthy meal one he hadn’t had in a while and sat down eating it at a normal pace. Everything Landon did today was clma and without rush. He knew that after going out he needed to not worry so much about the future. Although it was important the present was also important. A lesson he realized when he saw the care his sister’s and Sarah took for his sake.

Finally, without anything left to do. Hydra decided to see what happened in [Second Saga] logged in. However to his surprise he wasn't’ dead! But before he even had a chance to look around a window popped up in front of him!

Ding!

[Life of Darkness] has activated! The form you have taken is [Shadow Pig!]

The words echoed within Hydra’s mind as he looked at his body or the body he had hoped to see. Instead he saw the hooves of a pig, the belly of a pig. The tail of a pig. Although he was coloured black instead of the normal pink. He was without a doubt a pig.
