44 Ch. 44 'Scarlet's Tantrum'

"Wow, Scarlet, stop..."

Before Shin Ha finished his sentence, Scarlet summoned her bow to prepare to fire her arrow towards Izzy.

"Wow, Yuki... help me. I can't possibly win against a raging child," exclaimed Izzy while pretending to be afraid and hid behind Yuki's back.

"Huh?! It looks like I won't be relieved before giving a lesson to this one childish knight."

The men chose to step away so they wouldn't get the impact of Scarlet's rage.

"Scar," Scarlet felt her head being tapped softly by someone, and a gentle voice was calling her name, cooling her hot heart. "It is enough. Others will realize your existence."

Scarlet's fire instantly extinguished, and her fire arc was kept inside her astral, automatically the color of her hair returned to normal.

Hokuto and Shin Ha breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Edward in their minds.

"I never knew that you were also scared of Scarlet's tantrums." Shin Ha whispered to Hokuto.

"I can never handle a woman's tantrums. Moreover, we are talking about the red knight."

"I can hear you guys," Scarlet said, making the two men fell silent and laughed nervously.

"So, which one needs Elementalist' energy as daily food?"

"..."

Nobody answered. Until at last, the woman named Yuki opened her voice. "Izzy is the one who needs it."

"Yuki..." Izzy protested. "You don't need to tell her."

"Hohoho. What a coincidence. I am the one who arranges everything. So look forward to it."

"Hahaha... Indeed, I've been waiting for it. So no need to worry as I will taste all the energy of the Elementalist that you can provide me." replied Izzy didn't want to resign.

And for some reason, it seemed like, besides Izzy and Scarlet, everyone saw an electric bolt over between the two women's gazes.

How strange. Did the two of the woman suddenly turn into a knight of the Bolt?

***

"I don't like her at all." Complained Scarlet to Hokuto and Edward when Shin Ha takes Izzy and Yuki touring around to get to know the academy.

"I thought you want all of us to know each other and live like a family." Hokuto retorted. "Even though I don't know why you want to form this club, I completely have no objection. After all, spending time with you is like spending time with family. Besides, the two of them only have each other. Their bond is similar to sisters."

"Really?"

"Izzy has lived her life as a knight for eight years. As for Yuki, she had only been two years since receiving her powers as a knight. Seeing Yuki, who was new to her new strength and did not have anyone, Izzy protected her. It seems now they only had each other. Looking at them, isn't it like the four of us who try to open up and help each other?"

"I understand what you mean. But I don't like the purple knight' nature at all."

"Maybe because you are just as hard as her. Give her time and try to know her. Just like when you tried to approach the three of us and persuade us to form this club together."

Scarlet smiled at that. "Trust me. This one is more difficult than inviting the three of you. I've already known Kazu almost my whole life, while Shin Ha would follow him everywhere. You also accepted my offer because you knew my father. On the contrary, these girls..."

"They are no different. Trust me."

Scarlet only smiled in a straight line.

Hokuto smiled too and then stood up. "I know you could do it. Alright, I will take a rest. See you later."
