Decision You Make
Chapter 12- Two Different Situations

Morning, Dormitory Princess

"Well, I don't know if Chloe is so talented with makeup," Erine exclaimed in admiration.

Today, Chloe wears a casual dress with a vest and cloth pants. Her hair was ponytailed so that it showed her neckline.

Erine herself braids her hair, wearing a summer dress, which is quite contrary to Chloe's style.

"It's nothing" Chloe responded with a smile.

"What is nothing, this .. I cannot express it in words! Please, can you teach me, Chloe? I beg you," Erine's successive words she ended with a plea, holding Chloe's hand tightly.

Chloe felt that the woman in front of her was quite funny. Destroyed was the main antagonistic image of the sly and petty two-faced, in front of which this was clearly a kitten!

"Well, no problem, really," this isn't really a problem for Chloe. For her, a woman who is struggling in a large company, appearance is the second—after skill. Chloe herself learns from her officemate, Vivi.

'How's the kid doing, huh? Would he panic if I disappeared like this? Ah, but that world, right, is just a novel ...' Chloe was a little moody, it felt heavy as well leaving everything, some of her heart space empty.

"Ah, it's time. Let's get out now, Chloe!" Erine immediately pulled Chloe's hand.

"Eh, uh, wait, I have to wear shoes."

"Ehe, sorry."

While Chloe was wearing her shoes, she glanced at Blaze who was just floating in an indeterminate direction and said, "you're not coming, Blaze?"

"No, Miss. I'm just here. If there's anything I can come to soon," Blaze said with a strange sparkle.

Chloe was a bit worried, but she just said, "then I'm gone," before closing and locking the room door.

——

"Hi, Vin! You've been waiting a long time, haven't you?" Chloe said hello as soon as she saw the man in a white mane waiting quietly on the edge of a car.

"Oh, no, I'm also just here" Vincent replied casually.

Lies. In fact, he had been waiting for an hour. No, not because he wants to look good, just now the clock shows at 08:00 a.m. An hour from the promised time.

Were they intentionally late? Ah, no way, it seems like the girls took longer to prepare.

That's what Vincent thought during the trip. Trying to shake off bad thoughts about the two girls.

What he doesn't know is, his bad thoughts aren't entirely wrong. It was Erine, smiling knots looking at the scene through the car window.

Last night, when Chloe told her about Vincent, Erine felt her guess was right. Decides to test the man by turning off Chloe's alarm and accidentally waking up late, and he thinks Vincent has passed his test.

The journey takes about half an hour. During that time Chloe talked a lot about the plan they would do, split the task, so it did not feel they had reached the goal.

"Alright, it's almost noon. So go ahead, as planned," Chloe commanded while looking at the small note in her hand.

"Okay, okay, see you at the restaurant, Chloe! Remember, room 05," Erine immediately turned away waving her hand.

"Sure," Chloe replied.

"And we're going there, I told you we're going to take the cake, so you can take it right away" Chloe turned to Vincent and explained as she walked in the same direction.

Vincent nodded his head in understanding.

"Chloe and Erine prepared this well, yes," Vincent praised.

"Haha, of course. Reina's our friend, there's no way we'll miss her birthday, right?" Answer Chloe.

They finally reached a crossroads and parted ways. Vincent goes to the cake shop while Chloe goes to the bookstore.

In front of the bookstore is pretty beautiful. Some green plants are seen above small pots, some are hanging. Entering the bookstore, the smell of hundreds of books smelled, mixed whether it was the smell of new books or old books.

'My stomach hurts a little, ' Chloe scrunched her forehead while looking at the wooden bookshelves. There aren't many people here. Only five to seven people visit this place.

After looking around for a few minutes Chloe finally found the book she was looking for.

Here goes! Thick fantasy novel with a total of 5 volumes. A novel with a fairly heavy story, Chloe once saw Reina read this novel when she first met him. Even Reina always reads this novel when she has free time. One day Reina once complained that the novel she was reading had been completed, but Reina did not have time to buy the continuation.

Without a second thought Chloe immediately bought the entire volume of the novel, as well as wrapping it into a fairly large box.

The man turned his head, "Chloe, is it over?"

Chloe walked over, "yes. Why are you here?"

"Hm, it's okay. Taking the cake was faster than expected so we just go together" Vincent glanced at the cake box in his hand. The cake is decorated with brightly colored cream with a celestial theme, 18 figure shaped candles, and matches wrapped with a separate box inside.

The two men walked quite slowly. The streets are pretty quiet. Perhaps this was one of the reasons the bookstore had become a bit quiet, Chloe guessed.

Chloe turned her head to look at the stern profile of the man beside her, about to say something. But his eyes were rounded as soon as an object swayed about to hit the man's back.

"Vincent, lookout!!" Chloe shouted trying to save the man and threw away the gift in her hand.

But late.

THE DUAKH!

The baseball bat hit the man's back strongly, making him fall down and shout loudly.

Chloe was about to approach the man, before a burly hand locked her. He smothered his mouth with a cloth.

Chloe thrashed around trying to free herself before her consciousness slowly disappeared.

Vaguely Chloe could hear a familiar voice shouting at her.

"Hold, Miss! It's okay, don't worry, I'm here with Miss, I must have saved Miss!"

"Blaze ..." Chloe muttered before her consciousness had completely disappeared.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Erine looked at the wall clock hanging from the brown room.

Why haven't they come yet? Thought worried. It's almost 11:00 and they haven't arrived yet.

Deciding to get out of the room, Erine moved out of her seat.

The hot weather. Well, it's summer now. Suddenly Erine remembered the man who had followed her with Chloe earlier.

"It could be that he wears a jacket in this hot weather" Erine murmured.

"Which one is wearing a jacket this summer?"

Erine gasped in shock at the sound of someone right next to her ear.

"Damians?!"

The man laughed at Erine's expression. Feeling irritated Erine pinched Damian's waist firmly.

"Ah, ouch! Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry!"

Hmph!

"Why are you here?" Erine asked after taking off her pinch.

"Just a walk, in the dormitory is very boring," Damian raised his hand to the back of his head while walking.

Erine followed behind him, "oh, where are you going now?"

"Don't know. Wait, what food is that? Hey, let's go there," Damian unapologetically took Erine. Causing the girl to blush and nag:

"Don't just pull me!"

What a pleasant atmosphere. Unlike the two people who are now drooping weakly in a car containing three burly men with face coverings.

Really two different situations.
