"Make way!" She shouted as she rushed and placed the pot down on the table. "Wow! Strong Myori!" A woman that is as white as tofu praised, and all she received was a slap on the back from Nezumi, the girl that was with Nari in their time in the arcade.
"Sit down, Nari. Don't tire yourself too much." Said Nezumi. "Yes, yes, Mommy Minato." Nari responded teasingly before sitting down, which made all the girls laugh.
They then got their plates and served themselves their own portions of the food before eating. Andre and Paimon only watched silently. "How peacefully happy they are." Paimon sighed in admiration, "Especially that Nari. She's too kind, innocent, and beautiful. She definitely isn't suited to become your other half in the Abyss. It would do her dirty."
Andre didn't respond and only looked at her. Suddenly, Nari spoke, making the others halt eating, "Does anyone of you know a handsome man?"
They were all perplexed by the suddenness of her question. Moring was even more shocked that she spat all the food in her mouth. "What?"
"Why? Do you want to escape your single life?" Nature Son questioned with a teasing voice.
"No, not that." Nari shook her head, "It's just… Nevermind, it's just a silly thought." She shook her head and continued eating.
"Whaat?" Nature stubbornly asked. "Yeah, Nari. You have already made us curious about it. Tell us." Another girl with bunny teeth seconded.
"Alright." Nari chuckled because of their stubbornness, "It's just from a dream of mine."
The girls oohed with intrigue, "What happened, what happened?" Nezumi asked impatiently, with her eyes shining with interest. "What a nosy person." Another short-haired woman beside the bunny teeth woman muttered jokingly.
"Hey, I heard that, Yeonie!" Nezumi whined while pointing at her, garnering laughs from the girls. "Anyways, continue." Nezumi immediately leaned forward and asked once more, as if she didn't whine just a second before.
Of course, the girls laughed even more. Nari was also amused by how interested Nezumi was, so she continued, "I actually married him in the dream.." As soon as she said 'married', the girls squealed with excitement, while Nari's cheeks turned red.
"It isn't really that romantic.." She added, "Because I kind of died?"
Silence.
"Died? The hell?" Yeonie exclaimed with shock, "You died when?" She asked.
"While being married." Nari chuckled awkwardly. "That's a messed up dream, not gonna lie." The girl with bunny teeth gasped.
While they were talking about the 'dream', Andre had his eyes wide open in shock. He continued to listen, thinking that it was just a coincidence.
"So, you died. Then, what happened?" Yeonie questioned. "She already died, right? Why would you ask her what happened next?" Nature laughed.
"No, actually." Nari suddenly responded, "After I died, the dream continued. Although it's kind of fuzzy, I remembered that I died on and on and on."
"Maybe that's a sign." Yeonie muttered, but it was of course heard by the girls. Another woman whose mouth was stuffed with kimchi abruptly slapped the back of Yeonie's head before knocking on the table, "Knock on wood."
The others also knocked on the table, dispelling the bad omen. Looking at them, Nari just chuckled. "You know, girls, that man was also handsome. He was a head taller than me, his hair was black, he had deep dark eyes that made me feel as if I were falling, and he also seemed to be very powerful. We seemed to have a picture underneath my favourite cherry blossom tree in Japan."
"Hah, sounds like that bastard Andre." Moring, who was staying silent all this time, muttered with a hint of hate. "What did you say, Moring? Did you say Andre?" Nari's ears picked up what she said, making her curious.
"Oh, what?" At that time, she actually talked subconsciously, so Moring was confused why Nari was asking her that.
"Andre. That name." Nari pressed, "Do you know him?" She asked.
"Oh, it's just a person that I know." Moring laughed awkwardly. "He was a fan of yours, but he died years ago. You should just forget about it."
"No." Nari shook her head, "The name of the man in my dream, as I vaguely recall, was Andre. It shouldn't be a coincidence, because I don't know any Andre. Maybe it's just another kind of disturbance in the world? Contacting the dead through dreams?" She muttered.
"I want to know more about him." Nari suddenly said, which shocked and even frightened Moring a little bit.
Remembering her and Andre's encounter in the Philippines, she did not want that demon of a man back in her friend's life ever again, "I can't." She shook her head frantically.
"Why?" Nari asked, puzzled by her friend's reaction. The other girls were also confused by Moring's reaction. Although she was a little air-headed, she still knows how to handle some things and is usually calm. Seeing her lose cool is very odd.
"Why can't you tell us about him, Moring?" The girl who slapped Yeonie's head interrogated the panicking woman. "It's a private matter, Ji-soo. I can't say it."
"You know, you should just pick Bammie." Moring changed topic, trying to steer the conversation away from Andre, "You have good chemistry, and you're friends, right? I also heard that he seems to like you. Maybe there's a chance."
"Chemistry? Mine and Nari's chemistry is four times greater than that of theirs. Nari-ya, let's go on a date." Nature scorned, causing them to laugh.
Andre, on the other hand, was silent. Hearing that someone likes the woman that he loves, he wanted to erase that person's existence or even buy his soul, but thinking that no one would take care of her once he leave made him think twice.
After a while, Andre took out his phone and dialed a number.
While they were laughing, Moring's phone suddenly rang. "Excuse me for a second." She said before standing up and checking her phone. When she saw the number, she faltered, causing the phone to fall on the ground, startling the girls.
"What happened?"
"What's it?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Moring stiffly waved her hand before picking up the fallen phone. As soon as she got the hold of her phone, she turned around, scurrying away.
Nezumi, being the usual nosy person, got a glimpse of the caller's name and gasped inaudibly. "The caller's name is "Demon Andre"." She whispered to everyone.
Nari, having the knowledge that the man calling her friend and the man from her dream's name have the same name, had her eyes narrowed in suspicion, "What are you hiding, Moring." She muttered.
Outside, Moring finally answered the call and yelled at the phone with anger, "How dare you call me?!"
"I am inside Star Villa." Andre stated, sending chills down Moring's spine. "W-What do you mean?" She stuttered in horror.
"I heard what you said to her." Andre sighed on the other side, "That someone has taken a liking on her."
Moring was alarmed, but she tried to keep her cool, responding with a haughty voice, "What are you going to do about it."
"Nothing." Andre replied, "I just want you to assure that this Bammie wouldn't hurt her." He added.
"What?"
"I support your decision to couple her and this man. She seemed to have dreamt of me and that is not good." Andre went on, "I don't want to risk her remembering me. If she did, I wouldn't be able to leave her."
Hearing what he said made Moring laugh sarcastically, "You wouldn't be able to leave her? Yeah right. You stayed with her and did not leave her side. You're funny."
Suddenly, her voice turned serious, "I wouldn't let her remember you too, Andre." She stressed, saying his name with disgust, "I also can't risk my friend being hurt by you once again! So, don't worry! Even if you don't instruct me to, I will gladly and voluntarily not let her remember and find another man who can be responsible for her, unlike someone who can't even provide such a simple task." She then ended the call furiously, panting with rage.
Inside, after looking at her one last time, Andre left together with Paimon and flew to the top of the world, overlooking the vast land below them. While relaxing, Andre was also thinking of who he would send to Great Xia.
Then, he realised. Andre smiled amusedly while thinking about it. *Sun Wukong." He called out.
From Europe, the Monkey King zoomed past the sound barrier and appeared in front of Andre, "What is it, Boss?" He asked while scratching the back of his ear.
"Go to that place and tell the strongest person there that King Maharlika sent you, and ask him if your strength is enough." Andre commanded, pointing at the north of the oriental country.
"Sure thing, boss." Sun Wukong nodded before falling down to the place where Andre pointed at.
