Night had befallen Dalumen.
Arthur sat beside Selera as they watched the TV together,it was apparently a soap opera about the leader of a mafia falling in love with a school teacher.
Although he had found it odd at first, the show was quite intelligent in it's way of attracting audience,carefully placing cliffhangers and plot twists to entice the watchers into seeing the next episode.
He found it to be good to pass the time... but for some other people it seemed as though they were watching the fate of the world.
Selera:"Damn it Mitzi! Daniel was just right around the damn corner!"
For the love of god! What the hell is wrong with him!? Is Daniel's father retarted? Just shoot the guy! You're the gosh darn mafia damn it!
...i genuinely kinda feel left out.
The assassin was sleeping soundly on a foldable patient bed that they brought from up stairs.
Apparently Selera had a whole place to house patients as the second floor, although it was mostly empty for today there were still two people there.
???:"Please stop! I'm gonna lose my mind if I continue watching this! "
A young voice spoke, it seemed to belong to a male child of 9-11 years age.
Hearing him, another voice responded to the boy's pleas.
???:"Come on Eza~ you can do this! Serf also loves this drama you know! How will you marry her if you can't even deal with a single episode of a little old soap opera?"
The other voice spoke in a teasing manner, it carried an old voice that carried a young gait.
Eza:"D-Don't bring Serf into this Grandma Ramiel! Sh-She...She."
Saying so timidly he droned off into just trying to focus on the show in the tv,for the amusement of Ramiel who just chuckled knowingly.
Ramiel and Eza.
Eza was a young boy with auburn hair with timid brown eyes,he wore general clothing for a young boy.
He had gotten himself badly injured while playing with his friends by getting his leg slashed open by a metal protrusion near a building construction,unfortunately he had also broken his leg,which was not something that Selera's mark could heal.
Arthur was more curious of what her mark was after learning about Raz, but decided against asking.
He was told that asking about a lady's mark is akin to asking about her age,Not wanting to annoy Selera further he decided to stay silent.
Ramiel was an old lady with greying blonde hair,she was someone who has an illness that would take too much money to heal and is staying at Selera's house to dampen the pain and weakness until Ramiel's husband procures enough money to take her to an abstract ranked doctor and heal her.
Arthur had first assumed that Selera would have been maddened at the fact that someone was blatantly telling her that she was incompetent but was surprised to learn that she was the one to request Ramiel to be housed by her.
he gave a cheery smile to the both of them seated on their own wheel chairs,watching the same show as he was.
At some point the group started discussing heatedly about a love triangle that formed around the heroine, Arthur himself was not used to such discussions so he decided to stay silent,only for Argus to threaten him to saying Argus's side of the discussion.
Overall,Arthur was not having a good day.
Selera:"Okay! We all agree that Daniel is just too emotional right?"
Ramiel:"Well, it is true dear. But is he not the main lead? And he does have his own way of showing affection."
Selera:"What!? How does shoving a gun to his love interest's face say anything about showing affection?"
Ramiel:"That is... A fair point but he did not love her yet."
Selera,frustrated,was soon to release her restrictions.
Selera:"Listen here you old hag! That bastards of a main character is only going to be toxic in this relationship,he doesn't even know how to treat a women right! "
And after Selera,there was no need for ramiel to hold back either.
Her expression twisted into a strained smile as she huffed loudly.
Ramiel:"That is just one of his many quirks you brat! Are you saying you would reject him if he said he loved you?"
Selera remained silent for a moment before looking back at the TV and at Daniel,he was indeed quite the looker and was currently thanking Mitzi,the female lead, in a timid but cute manner.
She turned towards Ramiel once more in a rush before lashing out.
Selera:"Th-That's besides the point! The fact is that Daniel isn't the best suit for Mitzi.... At least for now."
Seeing such a scene take place infront of them, both Raz and Arthur looked on with dazed and shocked expressions.
They looked at each other before muttering.
Arthur:"Tell me if you think I'm wrong ,but are they... Arguing....just for the sake of Arguing? "
Raz looked at the Duo once more,before nodding.
Raz:"They definitely are big brother."
Damn..... I'm glad my family didn't watch things like this.
Back to the arguing Duo.
Although seemingly Selera did not change her opinion,the last bit of her words was more than enough for Ramiel to have a smug smile.
Ramiel:"Well then, who do you think is more suited for Mitzi?"
Selera stuttered for a moment before getting her bearings back as she pondered for a single moment,before smiling triumphantly.
Selera:"Well, who else but majir? He isn't a criminal and is always giving his everything for Mi—"
???:"OH YOU DID NOT JUST SAY THAT! "
Surprisingly,a famillier voice cut her off and joined the argument.
It was none other than Arthur.
Arthur:"You cannot be serious when you say Mitzi is gonna be good with such a...a..... FU*KING SIMP!"
Wait what? Hold on,you're joining too!?
And joining him....
Raz:"What is wrong with you big sister Sel!? How could even say that? Daniel is so much better! "
.....Was Raz.
What the hell Raz! Why you as well?
Both ladies were too shocked to speak as the two were silent up until now.
But the topic at hand confused not only Selera but also Ramiel.
She wasn't at majir's side but she thought he was a good fit too.
Arthur continued.
Arthur:"That stuck up Rich boy didn't have any character except for simping over Mitzi! "
backed by Raz.
Raz:"You tell em big bro! "
Although still confused,Selera raised her voice.
Selera:"Tone it down psycho man, the patient will be disturbed. "
Hearing her,the adrenaline he had was drained as he reeled back.
Arthur:"Oh... W-wait what did you call me!? "
Selera:"Shhh..."
And so on they continued to argue about the show .
And in the end surprising even themselves,Raz and Arthur won.
Though they were new to such things In the ended they bested the veterans.
