Soon L-2n reach the location battered up and bruise after the car flip over and he had to crawl out of the burning car before it explode and confuse the white order knights who tail after him
When he arrived he find E-2n bandaging herself by the side she send a glare at him before turning towards the small child who was talking with their contractor
Their target was a small ten year-old who was taken away earlier today honestly both of them find it odd that they would be hired for rescuing a child when all they do is kill that's why they call the child target
E-2n snort for a person raised to do dirty works like assasination this is her first time helping someone she gaze at L-2n trying to see any change of emotion but like always the thirteen year old boy remain indifferent
She gaze at her trembling hands that was still stinging from pain now that she think about it she always hated her hands
Because of her boundary which was a restriction that comes with the skill she had which makes her had a undeniably longing to steal she always got her parents in trouble
Everytime she would watch her parents lower their heads and be degraded by others for her actions that's why she choose to be sent away
She took one last glance at the same aged boy next to her pitying him for his boundary that was quite more cruel, 'the inability to felt any sadness, love, empathy, compassion, fear nor remorse'
"This is our last task right?" E-2n asked trying to have a casual conversation
L-2n just shrug his shoulders
"What are you planning to do?" She tilt her head curious
Not many people would accept them and they would most likely never get a proper job and live their lives doing dirty work for others
"I go to where my feet take me" he replied
"I see.." E-2n lowered her gaze seem to be saddened
In the batch of a hundred children there were only two of them left so she expect to at least felt a little bond
Soon their contractor begun to move and the small child start to ran towards the two of them somehow even with the child's eyes closed the child can manage to move properly without any problems
"Elaine! Laune!" The small child called to them
E-2n was confused and she pointed to herself, "Elaine?"
The child nodded, "weren't that your name?"
"But my name is.." E-2n never thought of that before
That's right she had a name before didn't she? Before she became E-2n what was her name again? It seems like the drugs and torture she recieved damaged some of her memory
"That's right my name is Elaine" she agreed to the child
Since she got nothing to lose might as well just accept it
"Then Laune" The child pointed to L-2n and just like Elaine's thought process he decided to agree
"See i told you uncle Xien! I was right!" The child said smugly to the contractor
Their contractor who they just find out named Xien gave out a dry chuckle for a small child it must have sound soft but for the two they heard a slight annoyance on the voice
"Can they become my friends! You promised me. That if I was good you would let me have friends!" The child pleaded
But Xien seems to want to oppose the child he scanned the two head to toe with a little disgust, "but i don't think they would want to be your friends"
The small child's face drooped down and looked solemn, "you don't want to be my friend?"
Elaine's heart shattered into pieces, "of course i would love to"
"Really then would you stay with me?" The child raised their head with anticipation
"Clementine!" Xien protested
Soon a golden hue wrap itself around the child's body signaling the use of skill, "but i wanted them to be my friend!" He pouted, "and it's not like your planning to let them go home"
Clementine then look at them, "then Elaine and Laune will stay with me"
Elaine was taken aback by the scene and was deeply confused and frightened
Laune on the other hand was interested
Xien who was powerless with the child's words can only resign, "fine then i took the two of you in"
"But i don't give any promises" he added
It seems like the child have just saved their lives
Elaine sweated beads as the noose that could have tighten on her neck without her knowing was removed
She was dumb to hope that their contractor would really try to free them like promised
Laune stood quietly to the side mapping the whole place and counting the exits and entrances of the building as they move
Soon they went into a portal and when they come out to the other side they find themselves staring at a huge blue dome
"Welcome to the blue order" Xien greeted sarcastically
"Wow we are finally back uncle!" Clementine exclaimed having a high five with Xien as if their fight from before was a lie
Soon multiple people dressed in blue arrived they surrounded Clementine and Xien with questions
