The three of us are in a close circle now; we have mastered the art of the circle now, and what was the weak circle has now become a strong one. Power screaming from the three of our bodies, matching a source connecting something exciting, which I have not felt ever in my whole career of hunting. I was enjoying it; I was loving it.
After that night, the three of us have always traveled together, enjoying this hunt as we enjoy our breakfast. Lee no longer joined the patrol, spending time searching for the origin of Phoenix, which we couldn't find an answer for after that night. It is always the three of us, enjoying the killing of ghoul every day for 2 months now. How many goals have we killed? We have lost count. Trouble no longer needed a patching from Ruby because after her dual power, she rarely gets a scratch; it is always the two of us turning towards Ruby to patch us up. But the wounds and scratches are fewer in number now, as now Florida is the one who is now protecting us from the ghouls, as she's become really strong.
This glorious victory of killing numbers and thousands of ghouls each and every day is turning Florida reckless, making her more bloodthirsty for ghouls—we don't know when we might lose her, but she is not ready to give up; she is not ready to rest; she has sworn to kill every single ghoul left on earth. Both of us have explained countless numbers of times that she has killed—not all, but most of the creature—but she says that she wants all of them to die.
We are sometimes scared that she might lose her sanity, but then again, she is she. Lee thinks it has something to do with the phoenix rune on her wrist. She does not listen to us, but whatever it is, as long as I get to kill and go out with her, I am satisfied.
Every morning the four of us train, then we enjoy and relax the whole day, and then head for a night hunt. After we are done patrolling, we head to Blush, the hottest bar for supernatural beings. After drinking like crazy, we return in the morning sleep train and repeat. To others it might be monotonous and dull, but to me it is an exciting. Yes, I get to hunt. I get to spend some time with her because otherwise we really exchange any words. She is super close to Jung; they have long conversations and fun moments together. It's not that I don't like her, and I don't talk; it's small talks on alternative days.
It's not that I don't want to, but it's that we have never spoken in loops or exchanged long conversation like that ever in these years, because I was still sceptical of women even if it was Trouble.
And it's not that she is very fond of me, or so it showed at least to me. Because from what I have heard from my brother I knew that she always has a soft corner for me, now that I am aware I do not show her; but internally I blush, yes I blush after ages and I like this feeling.
These months have been very hectic, with none taking any breaks, until it was Christmas.
