Cherreads

Chapter 22 - Ch.22: Train

On one of a train luxurious room

"So we pretend to be a normal teenagers that playing with snow together and accidentally drop a letter so he can be interested in it? That's it?" Lune already knew this but still he want to scream when that moment is about to happen

"Correct but not exactly though" Edmond on the other side of the table and munching on many food that on the table

"We don't need to pretend anything, after all don't you want to be a teenager playing snow with his friends?" Soleil is currently bouncing on the bed

"You two aren't serious at all huh?" Lune also already knew this because something like this is already happened and these two wasn't serious at all but still make it somehow but still he want to complain

"Of course we serious, but what good about stressing and worrying about it? Just have fun while we still can" Edmond still munching on his food

"I wasn't serious, and Edmond stop talking while eating" Soleil stop bouncing on the bed and join them on the table

"Just ignore him" Edmond still eating

"Unfortunately I have to agree with him, please stop eating while taking" then Lune take a sip on his coffee

"I mean ignore the fact that he said he wasn't serious, I know he is, and how can I stop eating these food when I ate very bad food all my life! And this tastes like luxurious food in ours previous life!" Edmond is now crying to the quality of the food

"then stop talking you idiot" Soleil then pour coffee into his cup and sip it "..." Soleil then put ten cube of sugar in it

"Weak"

"Weak ×2"

"Shut up, if it wasn't for me revolutionize culinary world, you two wouldn't be eating this good right now" Soleil then put a chef hat on his head proudly

"Lune do you think that's another problem? He did change this world in many way" will anything change by this?

"I don't think so, I can't see how this could do any significant harm, if it did it would be very small change and it more than worth it for any of this quality of life" Lune really impressed by the cup of coffee he just drink

"Especially the bathroom" Edmond ran to the bathroom and open the door "felt like heaven"

"Lune you might not know this, but with all of these products now Desrosiers family is now own more and have more power than the royal family" Soleil smirk then sipping on his coffee

"Sh*t" Then Lune sweating and think he f*cred up to not notice this "this empire is already on 042's hand"

"W-what?" Edmond terrified by that Idea, and realized that 042 is up to world domination

"Hehe" Soleil amusingly swing his tail while the two terrifyingly look at him

"We've focused on the other matter and failed to see a bigger problem that beside us all along" Lune breaking his cup

"Look at it in a good way, he's still on our side right?" Edmond already calming down and look at Soleil

"Yeah, I'm never betraying my friends" Soleil smile innocently

"Still live in the world rules by you is terrified me though" then Edmond keep eating "well I wouldn't have to worry about that at least"

"What do you mean you wouldn't have to worry about it!?" Lune smash the table "We must stop him now!"

"He's not our enemy, and can you tell me how could we stop him? Especially with the unknown threats in the future we don't even know about, having him on our side is only an upside, he already got us good Lune" Edmond said with very serious tone

Then Lune calmly sit down and sigh loudly "it's too late to stop him huh? ... well I wouldn't mind having friends that powerful now that I think about it"

Soleil already back on the bed "Hey don't talk like I'm not here"

"Wonder why you wasn't serious at all, you have all the situation cover huh? Can't wait to watch it falling apart, plot like this always happens you know?" Lune said mockingly

"Anyway food in our vip private room is good and all, why don't we go to the dinning car, it's better experience" Soleil suggest after he make the situation this tensed

"There's even separate car for dinning? Good idea let's go I'm hungry" Edmond said excitingly

"You already eat too much!"

...

Three of them waiting for thier food to arrive

Edmond look around "Hey Lune, Soleil act natural, there's some named character here, try not to interact with them" and why is he here? Aren't he supposed to be at the north already?

"Too late, my existence already failed you" a lady around thier age with brown long straight hair and blue dress walking towards them and Soleil decided to just sit up and be the one to greet her first "long time no see lady Katherine, it's pleasure to meet you" Soleil kneel and kiss her hand to greet her like a knight

"Likewise sir Soleil, what interesting friends you traveled with" Katherine cover her mouth with her friends like any refined young lady would do while giving a bad look at Edmond and Lune

Soleil stand up "my friends? Oh those guys? We're just travel together for business reason"

"I see, it's be very tired working with Lady Eleanor huh? If you're too tired you can work under me instead, I will never force anything you don't want" Katherine flapping her fan

"This much it's nothing lady Katherine, and a true knight would never betrayed thier master right?" Soleil laughing along

Very interesting conversation, Katherine, Laurent second child of Marquis Laurant, of course she will be in the Academy too, however she doesn't have any interesting quality to talk about, Soleil must be very disgusted right now, but it's funny, I'll keep watching

"We're heading to Lowell territory the north, what about you lady Katherine?"

Soleil you bastard why did you trying to make a conversation instead of ending it!?

"I was originally plan to just enjoy the train ride and immediately make my way back to the capital, but now I want to accompany you in the north sir Soleil" then Edmond and Lune screaming in thier mind

Then another guy with messy red hair that around thier age also joined in the conversation

"The north is very dangerous right now I suggest you not to go there lady Katherine"

Ludwig Brave, he's only son of Marquis Brave who's a commander of the empire army, so he have been in real war a bit, and most importantly he will stand in the way of Alan for the first few arc, but he's supposed to be in the town where he met Alan for the first time already, why is he here? Because the train?

"Recently there's have been reported of mystery monster appearances there, I'll be there to investigate it"

"But sir Soleil will protect me right?" Katherine step closer to Soleil

"You'll getting in his way, and are you okay with this sir Soleil?"

"The duty of the knights is to protect after all, if she going with me I'll protect her"

"No, I mean are you okay with having her get in the way?"

"You dare doubts abilities of sir Soleil, he can even protect me even if he's asleep" Katherine hiding behind Soleil back and pointing her finger at Ludwig

"She can't be right... Sir Soleil?"

"She's right, I can protect anyone even in my slumber"

This freaking bastard! Ludwig helping the situation but then you make it worse

"Edmond do something" Lune whisper

"What do I do?" Whisper back

"Something"

...

"Sir Soleil don't forget that you have to protect us too" Edmond join the conversation

"What are you talking about you countryside noble who don't even have noble blood, Sir Soleil won't waste his time protect you" Katherine put her fan away

"No lady Katherine, as a knight, I will protect everyone"

Ludwig sigh loudly "Anyway if any of you can't protect yourself, then just don't go there, it's too dangerous"

Sh*t it's even worse what do I do now?

Then everyone stomach growling as the food arrived and they all looked at each other

"Let's continue conversation at sir Soleil table" Katherine suggest

"I guess we have no choice huh" Ludwig agree

What do you mean!?

...

The meal is even more tensed than before

"Sir Soleil, I don't want to assume anything, but what is demon folk doing here?" Ludwig ask

"Don't worry he's not a demon, I can confirm it with my name" Soleil reassuring two of them

"If you say so"

Oh right I can use Lune "three of us will be together all the time and Lune here is not properly trained with etiquette yet so he might be very rude"

"I don't think so though, his etiquette on the dinning table is almost perfect, I dare say It's even better than mine, how did Desrosiers trained him?" Katherine watching everything that happened in the dinning table closely

"Actually he's with lord Edmond" Soleil said in innocent smile

These two bastard, can't you two play along with me? Well I know Soleil can, he just want to mess with me

"He's with you huh? Maybe this Davies house might not as bad as I think" Katherine flapping her fan

Soleil seems frustrated what with him now? "Soleil can I talk with you alone"

"Of course lord Edmond" then they both go back to their room

Then Soleil immediately clashing out "how tf can they be that stupid, Edmond do you think stupid people should just die?"

"What with you now I thought you act all that just to mess with me?"

"Well that's too, but how can they not caught you lying that Lune haven't trained in etiquette earlier!? And there's literally no way you can't protect yourself right? Can't they just think of that?"

"Is that your plan? For them to caught Me lying?"

"Yeah, I planned to stall the conversation until those hate you"

"What in the actual f*ck is wrong with you!?"

"What do you mean? By that they will never bother us on this trip right? And I don't want them to hate Lune because that just wrong, and I can't just throw away this perfect man persona that I built all my life either"

"Oh... you can just refuse Katherine though"

"You think she will just give up!? That bi*th is so f*cking disgusting" Soleil start to cry

"Come on, everything will turn out fine, you already own most of this empire after all right?" Edmond petting Soleil head

"But what if everything falling apart just like Lune said?"

"That's won't happen, because I believe in you and you believe in me right? So believe in yourself"

"How many times you said this before my performance and I got second place now?" Soleil swipe his tear

"At least you never get last place or fall during your performance like you afraid that it gonna happen in the night before your performance right?"

...

Lune on the table with Katherine and Ludwig

The atmosphere is very awkward

"I'm a demon and those two is under my mind control magic"
