|Silhouette Crimson|

The sun shines brightly in the morning. The light of dawn seeped into the guest room. Lucas rubbed his bleary eyes after waking up. In a split second, there he sees Evelyn entwined her arm towards him. Her head was directly above his chest, making him nervous as he gradually gets out from the bed.

[Lucas: Wait, wait, wait.... I... Didn't do anything weird right?! I feel so tired after escaping from that.]

He gives off a sigh as he approaches the window at the side. Looking outside, he tried recall what happened last night..

[Lucas: If i remember it right.... Tch! Ethan, you bastard! Selling me off as if I was a useless toy!.]

He mutters while his face shows an annoyance. It seems like it wasn't the only thing that he remembered.. He took a glanced at Evelyn's face. Thereafter, he comes toward her, covering her upper body with blankets..

[Lucas: This bracelet of hers.. It's important, I shall return this.]

He noticed a bracelet lying around the floor. Therefore, he picked it up, knowing it's a treasure for Evelyn. He put it just beside her head, for her to see it after waking up.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Someone opened the door, it was the owner. Lucas could see the owner's astonish face as he goes near him. He places his left hand on Lucas's right shoulder and at the same time, his right hand grabs the towel that Lucas uses last night and displays it before him.

[Congrats, my new customer! You've become a real man.]

[Lucas: Huh?.... Y- you're gravely mistaken! We didn't do anything lewd at all!!]

Lucas explained to him why's there a blood on that towel. After clearing the misunderstanding, he asks the owner if there's some illicit acts happening around.. Hearing those words coming from Lucas, the owner turns his back and says...

[It would be better if you don't meddle with this.]

He was left speechless, not able to speak as he understands what the owner means. Nevertheless, Lucas told him not worry about it, for it will only be a cause of his stress...

Evelyn woke up after the owner left the room. She asks what happened while she was asleep, Lucas told him it was nothing important. After a few minutes of resting, they began to go outside... Sending Lucas off with a smile, Evelyn wave his hand at Lucas.

[Lucas: I'll come back if I have some time.]

[Evelyn: Yes!]

After closing the door, a woman shows up to her..

[???: Hey Evelyn, that was a cutie you've got there. Can you lend me him?]

[Evelyn: Wha?! W.. We didn't do it!]

[???: My, I know you've taken a liking to him, but if you don't make a move.. I'll snatch him away in an instant!]

Evelyn denied that she like Lucas. In contrast of her words, her body... Or rather, Her face begins to blush as she probably thinks of him.

(Lucas's point)

[Lucas: DAMN THIS IS BAD!!! I completely forgot about them! I must return as soon as possible.(Though it gives me chills to even think of what will happen to me!)]

Lucas shouted while hurrying to the mansion. His anxiousness gets larger as he come closer and at last... He opens the gate before him.. It was so silent that it gives him chills down his spine.

[Lucas: Well, here goes nothing!]

He gulps down before opening the door. There he saw the 5 girls wearing maid outfit, continuing their normal behavior. They greeted him like nothing happened, and his trembling heart begins to settle down.

[Lucas: Hohh... I guess I was worried over nothing huh..]

[Hazel: Lucas!!!]

Little Hazel cuddles Lucas's middle part of his body. He gently strokes her head but suddenly, the air surrounding her gets colder while saying..

[Hazel: Hey.. Master.. Please tell us where did you go last night?...]

[Lucas: ?!??!]

Hazel tilted her head happily as she looks up to Lucas, her eyes is as cold as ice while interrogating him. Lucas on the other hand, can't separate Hazel's arm around her. Thus, he ends up sweating much without giving a fight.

[Lucas: I.. I... This... Uhmm.. (This is Ethan's fault!!)]

[Hazel: I see.. So you can't tell it to us then?]

[Lily: Everyone! Let's help Hazel!!]

A group of people appeared before the gate of their house.

[???: .... It's open..]

They go inside without a second thought. Each step takes a small amount of effort as Lucas and others, didn't cast some trap spells on it.

[???: I'll open it.]

The leader opens the door... There he sees Lucas on the floor, pinned down by Olivia, Charlotte, Lily, Hazel, and Micaela. His upper body is naked... Naked.....

[Lucas: ?!!? HEY ETHAN!! THIS IS YOUR FAULTT!! COME HERE AND HELP ME CLEAR THE MISUNDERSTANDINGGG!!]

[Ethan: Opss, sorry wrong house.]

[Lucas: HELPP!! HELPP!!! HELPPP MEEE!!! I'M GONNA GET VIOLATED, KYAHHHHHHH~!!!]

Ethan abruptly shuts down the door as fast as he can but something big is obstructing it.

[???2: ARRRRRRRRGGGHHH!!! ITT HURRTS IT HURTTTSS!!!!]

[Ethan: What happened to you?]

[???2: MY HANDDDD!!!]

Ethan stares at his(???2) left hand, Apparently got hit by a door he closed. Ethan, opened the door a little for (???2) to pull his hand.. It got swollen, the blood circulates even faster, making it red. Christine sighs as she aids him.

[Christine: Anyway, What's going on inside??]

[Ethan: Some (cute) animals went on rampage. Well, let Lucas handle it.]

They waited for a minute in order for Lucas and others to settle down. For 5 minutes of waiting, there's no any sign of noise. For that reason, Ethan once again opens the door.

[Ethan: ?!??! Lucas... You.... PFFFTT- BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!]

[Lucas: Bastard, stop laughing!!]

Closing the door, not letting the others go in, Ethan laughs out loud as he points his index finger towards Lucas. Why's that? For the reason that Lucas is wearing a maid outfit!!!

He has been force to wear those as a punishment for not telling the reason why he wasn't around last night.

[Ethan: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!! THAT'S WAY TOO HILARIOUS!!!]

Ethan can't stop laughing, he keeps on slapping his thigh as he Cachinnates on the floor. With that said, The girls collaborated to ensure that Ethan will be incapacitated for a moment.

[Christine: Hey!! Ethan!! What's going on there!?]

Christine quickly opens the door, seeing Lucas... As well as Ethan.. Wearing cute maid outfit..

[Christine: Th-.. this can't be... Ethan you're into this?...]

His other squadmates tried to laugh at him, but for some reason, they felt as if they laugh.. They will face the same consequence.

[Try not to laugh... Try not to laugh... Try not to laugh...]

[Ethan: (I won't let you guys go off that easily!)]

Ethan imitates a pose of a clown, making his other squadmates laugh. Because of that, They faced the same outcome as the first two.

[???2: What's up with these girls? They're scary!]

[Micaela: Whoah, you look gorgeous! Can you wear this too?]

[Christine: O- oh thank you.. I guess I will...]

Now, all of them wear the same outfit... The house becomes rowdy, the boys laughed at each other while the girls are consumed with excitement.

[Lucas: Anyway, Why the heck are you here?]

[Ethan: That's rude, I suppose you need an answer to your question right?]

The atmosphere began to get serious the time when Ethan asked that. They all became quiet instantly after Lucas and Ethan sat on a parallel couch, facing at each other..

[Ethan: Before that, let me introduce to you my juniors.]

They were standing at the back of a couch where Ethan sits, and they each introduce themselves.

[Christine: I'll introduce myself again. I'm Christine Vandenberg. The vice of Silhouette Crimson.]

[???6: The name is Blade and I'm 21, may I have your time to-]

[???3: Alright my turn, My name's Giovanni Diggory. You can call me Dio for shortt!]

[???2: It's Floyd! Don't even think of tainting my Christi- Aeugh!]

[???5: I don't know what's going on but... I'm Javier! Nice to meet you!]

[???1: My beautiful ladies, My name is Charles.]

Christine elegantly introduces herself, she's the vice captain of the group. Blade attempted to flirt with the girls but before he completes his sentence, Dio(is a young man) interrupted and presents himself instead. Floyd(has a good looking at least) didn't hold back! He shouted after telling his name before them, declaring his love to Christine on the spot. Unfortunately, Christine squeezes his injured left hand, making him suffer... Though he enjoys it, talk about creepy! Javier just followed the rest and introduced himself, he's an oblivious person. Charles(my, a handsome face alright) successful flirted with the girls, making blade inferior.

[Charlotte: You.. You resemble Christine..]

[Christine: Yes! She's my elder sister.]

They were astounded just as soon as they've found out that they were siblings.

[Ethan: Wait a minute.... Someone is missing, I'll get her.]

Ethan uses his shadow to teleport someone. Subsequently, he cast his shadow before him.

In the shadow, a woman sleeping emerge from it. Her posture is somewhat embarrassing. Her legs are spreading apart but thankfully, She's wearing pants. Ethan wakes her up by pointing his finger to her cheek. Her giggle warms the soul of those who can see her..

[Lucas: Wake up, you overslept again.]

He says that as he continues to point his finger. Apparently, she preferred not to get disturb, eventually biting Ethan's finger while half asleep.

[Ethan: AWWWWWARHHGG!!]

[???4: Hmm?... ?!? Cap! I'm sorry!]

She immediately gets up while blushing due to humiliation. Anyone would be ashamed after seeing them deeply asleep. Ethan told her to calm down and introduce herself afterwards.

[???4: Hello there! I'm Emily Chrysalis. Nice to meet you!]

Emily made a peace sign using her right hand and then putting it on her face to manifests her cute side. Though it appears she's only embarrassing herself.

[Ethan: Remember their names, they might help you someday. Probably...]

[Lucas: I already know, you keep telling me about them after all.]

They were all stunned after knowing of what Lucas just said... They can't believe it either, their leader? Mentioning his squadmates before his friend? That's crazy..

[Lucas: Yup, he keeps complaining about you guys. Trust me, he only says bad stuff about you.]

[What the f-?!]

[Ethan: Hey, hey, don't go revealing my secrets. You got me there huh.]

They began to walk outside with disappointment. Lucas told the girls to go after them, to know more about their behavior, and to deepen the relationship between the two groups. Also let them change into their uniform..

[Lucas: How did you summon Emily like it was nothing?]

[Ethan: Using my magic obviously, I can teleport someone close to me. Someone I'm always with, if you're thinking of copying mine.. It would be hard even if it's you.]

Typically, a person would only acquire one magic attribute... But in Lucas's situation, he could copy the spell/skill(not the attribute itself) spontaneously. With intense training, he could even make his own spell after copying one. For instance, the shadow magic(shadow of obscurity) is a skill that Lucas copied to Ethan. If he trains himself to the bone, he could even make another one. That said, it's not his own magic attribute. That's why it's taking much mana than his original magic(the wind magic).

[Lucas: I'm not even trying to!... Anyway, Ethan... Could you help me with something personally?..]

[Ethan: Hmph, With pleasure.]

[Lucas: Bastard, so you knew this would happen?!]

Ethan drinks the tea Charlotte made for them. After one sip, he continues to chat with him... The surrounding gets chiller as he says a something he hates about.

[Lucas: I want to stop the prostitution whatsoever. Women need the rights of protection. They shouldn't do something like that, but an aristocrat legalized it, knowing it would become a huge business..]

[Ethan: Lucas, let's say you've successfully obliterated that district.. But what's next after that? What will happen to those who lost their only job?]

[Lucas: Do you really think I don't have an idea? I won't even try to help if I can't.]

Lucas went towards Ethan, whispering his thoughts about what will be their next step after that..

[Ethan: ?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHA That's truly spectacular Lucas!!! I knew being with you would become so thrilling!]

[Lucas: Hmph.]

Ethan's eyes began to widen after hearing Lucas's idea. He stands up holding a glass of tea and took another sip of it. After drinking, he tells Lucas something even more shocking..

[Ethan: The aristocrat that we'll be dealing with... Is my father.]

[Lucas: What the?!? You've got to be kidding me...]
