The Villains are After Me

2.6 Contract

Tuin brightens, " The famous foods in the city are many! We have many kinds of desserts and more! We have banana que, it has a combination of sweet and slightly bitter taste after cooking it with brown sugar, it's soft and famous here in the city. I'm sure you'll like it! There's also halo-halo, leche plan, ube halaya, and more... " He started listing all the foods he knows and pointed the place where it's sold. Oras nodded and tried to remember all he mentioned.

" Of course, we also have many delish food aside from desserts. Our best of all is adobo. It's really delicious. You have to taste it before leaving ah! " They didn't notice the time and Oras stopped when he saw the gate at the inner circle. Tuin told him to wait for a while and he walked towards the guards at the gates and whispered something. They nodded and Tuin came back, smiling.

" We can enter now. " He said and he entered the inner circle. Oras stopped before the line separating the outer and inner circle. Somehow, he felt like something would happen once he enter.

" What's wrong? " Tuin asked when he noticed that Oras stopped. Oras shook his head and entered. 

The moment he entered, Luntian's eyes opened abruptly. He felt it. A person very compatible to him just entered. He patted his heart and felt his soul trembled. He somehow knew who it was. 

He stand up and didn't find Ulap around, he must still trying to find that person. He feels okay now. He hastily wore his clothes and left the house. His eyes brightens when he saw a person beside the guard they talk yesterday.

Oras looked around and nothing happened. He sighed out of relief and found a man with long white hair in front. His eyes widened, isn't that the villain?! So he really was here! Great!

He walked towards him and stopped in front of him, Oras didn't know what to say. Should he greet him and ask if he is okay? He frowned and forgot Luntian.

Luntian felt happy just being with him, it's really weird but he liked the feeling. He looked at the young man in front of him and noticed that he was wearing a mask. That must be the reason why they couldn't find him, he reached for the mask and took it off. Oras was stunned and looked at him with widened eyes.

Luntian laughed happily at him. He's so cute.

Oras stared at him, he really looked good ah

Completely his type. He stopped when he noticed his thoughts. What the hell?! You dare think about this about the target?! Are you crazy!?

Luntian caress his cheeks and he blinked. Fine, he's really crazy.

Luntian slowly approach him and watched his reaction, when he didn't resist, he hugged him tightly. He put his chin on his head and sighed contentedly, his eyes shone mirthfully. He finally found him. He won't let him go this time.

This is what greeted Ulap when he came back. Stunned, he saw Luntian hugging a young man with black clothes and noticed that it must be the person he's searching. He sighed, thankfully he's found. He glanced at them, rather it looks like the young man came himself.

He smiled, still this is the first time he saw him show that expression, like obtaining a lost treasure. He tightly hold it so he won't lose it.

" Let's have contract? " Luntian ask nervously after a while and step back to look at him. Oras froze and thought for two seconds then nodded.

Luntian laughed like a child who got candy for the first time. He pulled Oras into his house and locked the door. Ulap looked at them dumbfoundedly. He acts fast, that guy.

 He looked up at the sky and hoped that the person with a high compatibility with him comes soon. He entered his house and closed the door. They all forget Tuin who was standing in the gate, he scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. He should go back to his post since Oras is already taken by a Serces. He narrowed his eyes and wished that he would soon meet his master.

Inside the house, Oras is conversing with the system. Although the system is supposed to be busy, he would sometimes pop out of nowhere.

System: Dear Host, it's easier to save him if you became his master. He won't self destruct and you can take care of him too.

[ You're right... This is fine but... ] Oras said to the system and glanced at the target at his side. He's too close, he's so cute too now that he took a closer look and he's still hugging him.

" That, I'm Oras.." First he should Introduce his self then slowly get out of his arms, the villain seemed to noticed it so he tightened his hold and buried his face in Oras's neck.

" I'm Luntian, let's do the contract now? " He hoarsely whispered. He wanted to tie this young man to him quickly, but for now.. His eyes flashed.

Oras nodded, agreeing to him. Seeing him brightened eyes looking at him, he felt relieved then frowned.

[ He looked okay compared to before. Will the missions be done? But still it's not that simple right? ]

Luntian noticed him frowning and reached out to smoothened his eyebrows that makes Oras to turn to him, he stared at him and asked, " What's wrong? Did you not like it? Don't you want to be with me too? "

Oras was stunned when he saw his green eyes brewing red glints and shook his head immediately. He sighed out of relief inside when the red glints disappeared. He wiped his sweat internally, the villain is still not stable. He doesn't have any clue why he's like this so he have to asked someone who knew. Oras glanced at the villain who was holding his hands and playing with it.

" I still didn't registered at the association, will you accompany me? Let's do the contract too after. " He said as he stood up and pulled the villain. Luntian followed him and nodded, his lips curled. They got out of his house and the villain stopped hugging him but he still holds his hand.

Looking at the big tree and the building stop of it is spectacular, the building blend with the tree and looked like part of it. Many wooden bridges were connected to the tree.

" That's Ygdrassil, the Serces Association is atop of it. We build it that way so the tree won't be removed. " Luntian explained as he lead him. They were also in one of the bridges connected to it and on the way a man accompanied them. Glancing at the man, his blue eyes smiled at him gently. He casually turned away, Oras is sure that it's the male lead.

Wes watched them and nodded. He thinks that his Host will be okay even if he left now. He slowly gathered his data and buried his self in the depth of Kite's mind. Oras looked at the left and noticed the system is gone, he must have gone to work now? He chuckled. Wes told him that he's busy but he's always popping out everywhere, it seems that he's just worried.

Luntian noticed him and he pursed his lips. What is he thinking about for him to laugh like that? I want to know..

He lowered his eyes and repressed his thoughts, it's still early for him to act this way. For him to have a connection to this person, he must bind him and lock him after that. His eyes flashed and pulled the young man to the association.

Oras turned his attention to Luntian who was pouring and laughed at him. He saw him look back and smiled back.

Ulap looked at them complicatedly, he saw them leaving a while ago and thought that they will sign a contract. He wanted to make sure that Luntian is okay, first. Although the guy looked decent, we won't know until...

Ulap followed them leisurely at the back.

Entering the building, Oras looked around and found that although the building looked almost part of the tree, the inside looked like a normal office.

An attendant saw them coming in, came to them and asked with a polite smile, " Hello, guest. The contract signing department is to the left. "

Luntian just walked straight to the left and didn't look at the attendant. Oras smiled thanked him and got pulled. Luntian unceremoniously opened the door and entered, many turned their head to see their costumer and smiled at them.

Oras awkwardly smiled back. This, there's so many people working here. Luntian still walked straight to the man in the center, the man noticed and put down the paper in his hands.

" Luntian, " He said then looked at him with an inquiring gaze, " another one? "

" Mm. " Luntian nodded and looked at the young man beside him. Oras nodded. The man smiled professionally and asked, " I'm Mata, we handle the contract signing of Serces here. What kind of contract do you want? "

Yes? What kind? There's a kind? Oras tilted his head a little and thought for a while and knitted his eyebrows then he glanced at Luntian.

Noticing that Oras is taking a long time to answer, the Mata's expression darkens. Is this someone scheming Luntian again? The people inside the office also noticed this and looked at them.

In Serces Association, all who worked here are betrayed Serces that decided to rest from finding a contract partner. Serces Association is formed to protect the Serces from being betrayed and such they sometimes schemed against individuals who tried to fool a Serces. Mata thought that this young man beside Luntian might be fooling him again. Although they were quite stunned that his criterias change overnight.

" It's his first time here. " Luntian said to Mata and their expressions change. Mata looked at him and then to the black haired youth beside him. He called his assistant and told him to bring in the new records.

In Gubat City, the whole city ground is a Magic circle. The outer circle observed if any banned individuals tried to enter and to keep peace, killings, robbing, killings and such can't be done. That's why many wanted to live here, because of the high security the magic circle given. Meanwhile, the inner circle is to find and take note of the individuals soul and character entering for compatibility to one of the Serces. That's why they simply called them inner and outer circle. It's a hassle to think if other names.

The assistant immediately came back with a bunch of papers and gave him a piece of paper after a while. Maya took it and looked at him and gasped. His hands trembling, he looked at the paper intently like he wanted to burn a hole into it.

I looked inquiringly at Luntian. Ulap walked behind Mata and peeked and whistled then looked at Luntian, " How lucky bro. "

From this statement, the people inside the office also can't restrain their curiosity and looked at the paper behind Mata and a man exclaimed with a red hair, " Damn, I'm so envious! Ugh I shouldn't have looked... "

He covered his face and groaned again. Others patted him, smiling wryly. " I felt the same.."

" It's so frustrating..."

" The frustration... "

They looked at him with fervor and Luntian stood in front of him and blocked their sights. They looked away despairingly.

Hmm? Oras is the only one confused and tilted his head at them. What's this about?

Maya coughed. They all looked at him, " Go back to work. " He said as he put down the paper and turned to us. They all go back to their tables and worked but their atmosphere somehow looked depressed.

" Sir Oras, right? " He asked and Oras nodded. Mata pulled out three different colored papers and put them in the table.

" There are three different types of contracts. First is this. " He pointed to the white colored paper, " This is a temporary contract, signing this means that the relationship between the two are still underway and can be changed anytime as long as both parties agrees, it has the most freedom for both parties. Most people who came here signed this contract. "

He then pointed to the red colored one, " This is called Blood Contract, obviously this need blood to contract, there are advantages as well as disadvantages. Both the parties can immediately know the location of their partner and know if they are in danger. It can also be changed anytime as long as both parties agrees. The last one, " He then motioned at the black colored paper.
