Chapter 26 - Festival 2

" Christa! Come on we have so much food to try, we have to hurry before they are all gone!" said Sasha while dragging Christa by the hand.

" Sasha, please slow down, I'm sure there will be enough and besides we don't have much money to buy more than necessary" (Christa)

Hearing this Sasha came to a stop and looked back at Christa with a dark look and replied

" What if there was a really delicious food. What if that food was so delicious that by the time we get there slowly, it would be all gone?" (Sasha)

" Today is a festival day of harvest, I'm sure they have more than enough to last three days." said Christa with a wry smile.

" There is still a chance that we might miss it and I'm not taking that chance!" replied Sasha and starting to run again towards the food stalls. Christa just sighed and followed Sasha while thinking what it would be like to be with someone else. Someone like Asriel.....thinking till here she started to blush and couldn't help covering her face with her other hand while shaking her head from side to side.

" I wonder what he is doing now..." (Christa)

Sasha and Christa visited food stalls after food stalls, although Christa wanted to visit the other stalls but the beast of a Sasha wouldn't let her. Until finally, Sasha ran out of money. She tried to borrow some money from Christa but Christa didn't want to lend it to her. Christa said she was doing it for her own good and also wanted to buy some trinkets from the trinket stalls but gave in to Sasha as she was doing the puppy eyes towards her. Sasha was extremely happy that Christa lend her some money and hugged her.

" Mou~ Sasha if you keep eating like this you will become fat you know and you won't be able to move freely in the ODM gear anymore." said Christa while pouting cutely.

" Don't worry Christa, I ate a whole deer once and I didn't even get fat then. So this much is no problem." said Sasha while rubbing her face against Christa's chest.

*swish*

" Hmm?.....Uwaaaaaaa my pouch!!!!!!!!!" screamed Sasha while frantically searching her waist with her hands.

" Over there! Sasha, that person took your pouch. Hey! Stop! Someone, please stop him." said Christa while running after the thief.

" AHHH GIVE ME BACK MY POUCH YOU DUMBASS!!!" screamed Sasha while rushing towards the thief. They chased after the thief for some time but couldn't catch him. The thief was running around the place like it's his own backyard, doing some parkour over boxes, jumping from a ledge to another ledge and dodging people. The girls tried their best to keep up but they were slowly losing him. But suddenly the thief was caught and held in the neck by a person. He had long white spikey hair which reaches his back, bright red eyes which seems to be glowing but mesmerizing, body of a Greek god with the height of 6'5" and a handsome face that could make any girl who looks at him blush. He was also wearing the cadets uniform like them. It was none other than Asriel.

" Hey girls, seems like this guy has been giving you problems." said Asriel while smiling warmly towards the two. Seeing his smile Christa and even Sasha blushed but Sasha quickly got out of it and searched the thief for her pouch. The guy was still choking while being held up from the neck, after a while Asriel made him unconscious by continuing to deprive him of oxygen.

" So, how are you girls doing? Having fun?" asked Asriel with a smile.

" Asriel! You have to try this food at that stall! It was really delicious, although, it needed a bit more seasoning but nonetheless it was still delicious!" said Sasha energetically.

" Really? If it's a recommendation from you then it must have been really delicious. How about you Christa? Hmm? Christa? Are you alright?" said Asriel while waving his hand in front of her flushed face.

" E..eh....umm....ah...I..I'm fine! Yes, de...definitely not admiring you.....I.....I mean.....uuuuu." replied a red-faced Christa while panicking a bit and finally covering her face with her hands. [Uwaa why did I say thatttttt!! I want to go hide in a hole now!!!] thought Christa

" Haha alright, as long as you are ok." said Asriel while petting her head.

" Nn...." feeling his warm hand petting her head, she couldn't help but feel satisfied and wanted to stay like that for a while.

" Oh, Christa and potato girl, you guys are also checking out the festival?" said Annie from behind them. Seeing what Asriel was doing to Christa, Annie got jealous and hugged him from behind.

" Hmm, Annie, what's wrong?" said Asriel with a warm smile and hugging her arms back tenderly. He loves his girls acting intimate with him since he was also a clingy person. He can't help but want to cuddle and snuggle with his girls, because of that his girls became a lot more clingy.

" Nothing....." said Annie with a soft voice.

Christa was extremely envious of Annie and how they were acting lovey-dovey in front of her. She puffed up her cheeks and pouted as much as she could. She looks like a cute squirrel while stuffing its mouth with nuts.

" Hmph!" said Christa and turned her head to the side. Seeing this Asriel can't help but want to hug her and poke those cute cheeks of hers.

" *sigh* look at you, it looks like you are going to puke sugars and rainbows." (Annie)

" I can't help it, she just looks so cute right now." replied Asriel. Christa hearing that couldn't help but feel extremely happy and blushed hard while her heart was going haywire.

" So you mean to say I'm not cute hmm?" said Annie with what looks to be a small pout.

" Fufu you are not just cute Annie but also a very gorgeous girl. My little angel." said Asriel with love and affection while cupping her face with his hand and tenderly rubbing his thumb on her cheeks. Annie facing this didn't know what to do but blush hard and meekly nodding her head and enjoying his tender lovingness. Annie hugged him again, this time from the front and snuggled into his chest. Christa couldn't take it anymore so she too hugged Asriel from behind surprising him. She made up her mind and finally decided to show her feelings towards him, no longer does she wants to be on the sideline.

Since the first time she met him, she had been in love with him and the feeling grew with each of the interactions she had with him. When she realized that he has a lover, she was devastated and tried to forget about him but the more she tried the harder it was. She then heard that he has another lover and realized that polygamy was the norm. Even her father has multiple wives. She was trying to confess to him but her shyness halted her from doing so but at last, she couldn't take it anymore.

Sasha was left out and didn't know what to do with all the sweet and fluffy stuff going on in front of her. Then she realized something while looking at Christa.

" Guys, I just realized but where did Ymir go? She would usually be around Christa but I haven't seen her since.....well since forever. I know she doesn't hang out with a lot of people and that almost all if not all the cadets hate her and ignore her. To be honest even I don't like her.*gasp* is she scheming something behind our backs??!!!!" said Sasha with some horror in her voice.
