(LUHAN'S POV)
Hade is really not answering my question.
I was drinking water when I heard a loud noise last night.
When I looked, Hade was kissing the floor.
"Hey! Is the floor tasty? Did it answer you?" I teased.
But instead of getting annoyed, he smiled, stood up, and ran to his room. I even heard him whisper, "Very."
So when we woke up in the morning, I asked him again, but he still didn't answer.
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. My friend is going crazy.
Poor thing, hahaha.
We were walking towards the field because we had an announcement to make.
And now the first day of Red's time here has begun, while the three of them are at the back.
Everyone is here.
"AHEM! Today marks the beginning of the stay of the three women, so for now, in three days, all of you must temporarily set aside your anger and grievances towards women," Orin said seriously.
They murmured amongst themselves.
"Orin is right, that's what the old man told me, we have to follow him. Those who disagree can go to the Sacred volcano and complain there," Verto said.
The Sacred volcano is where those who disagree or are punished are taken.
They stay there for a week, living under the volcano without water or food.
They murmured again.
Most of them were happy, some were sad, some were angry, various reactions.
I stepped forward.
"So, these three women are triplets: Blue is the eldest, an ice user; next is Red, a fire user; and the youngest is Yellow, a lightning user. Treat them nicely, boys, if you don't want to meet your worst nightmare," I said with an authoritative tone.
"How old are you?"
"Do you have boyfriends? Can I apply?"
"Hello! I'm free all the time wink"
There they are... the playboys looked at Red.
They were doing fine.
"17, Single but not available," Blue said in a bored tone.
"Yeah, we're 17, if Blue is single but not available, then I'm single but ready to mingle lip bite," Red said.
The boys cheered and whistled, making Red laugh softly.
So Blue smacked her with the book she was holding.
Red pouted.
Then we looked at Yellow.
"No comment..." Yellow said.
"Awwwwww!" the boys said.
"Tss. Okay, I'm single too, but as they say, I'm hard to get," Yellow said with a grin.
So the boys smiled as if they were planning something.
"Tsk." Blue said.
They all dispersed.
When Oiteru and Kzo approached, I recognized them as the ones who fought yesterday.
"Hi Triplets! How was your sleep?" Oiteru asked, trying to act familiar.
"It was fine," the triplets answered.
"Hi girls, my name is Kzo... we were enemies, but I guess the effect of being handsome is too strong, even men are affected—ouch!" Kenzo said.
"You fool! Am I gay?!" Oiteru responded.
"Why not, aren't you?!" Kzo replied.
"With my good looks, how could I be gay?? Your eyesight must be bad! Maybe it's you!!" Oiteru said.
"Gay," Kzo said.
"You're gay," Oiteru said.
"Gay," Kzo repeated.
"Both of you, stop fighting, you're both gay," Gerson said.
"YOU'RE GAY!!"
Gerson scratched his head as Oiteru and Kzo shouted at him.
"I was just trying to stop them," Gerson said.
"Wow, that's how you stop a fight? You're amazing!" Carl said.
Gerson was about to speak when we heard an explosion.
So we stood up straight and searched for where it came from.
Then we looked at Yellow, who was in the air.
She was fighting...
"There are evil beings!" they shouted.
Red created a fire net.
So the one who was about to fall landed on the net.
We immediately approached them and removed them from the net.
There were seven women, all with snow-white hair that reached their waists.
They each held a broom.
"They're witches," Quki said.
"Yes, but they're good witches, I can feel it," Blue responded.
We jumped to the side because an evil being was about to fall on us and hit the ground, turning to ash.
I supported the witch with green eyes.
"Why are they chasing you?" I asked.
"We were just out for a walk and must have wandered too far, so the evil beings followed us," she said.
"Sis, those evil beings are dangerous! Tell them to be careful," said the witch with black eyes.
Because Yellow was fighting them.
The boys gathered because another evil being fell and stood up.
And Yellow was already fighting below.
When Yellow raised her hand at the evil being, the evil being held its throat and disappeared.
"Are you all okay?" Yellow approached us.
"We're fine! How did you do that?"
The witch I was supporting asked, surprised.
Yellow just looked at her and didn't answer.
We were surprised when ten evil beings descended on us.
We gathered, and Blue, Red, and Yellow blocked the dark users and fought them.
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Quki asked.
"We just got lost, but it's strange that they were able to follow us," said the one Quki was supporting with hazel brown eyes.
"They have a tracking device, and some of them are bombs," Red's statement surprised us.
"What?! Do we have bombs on our bodies??" asked the one I was supporting.
"They probably placed them on you through physical contact," Blue said and choked the dark user until it froze and disappeared.
"How do we remove them? Are we going to die?" asked the one Verto was supporting.
"Not yet... Yellow, I'll handle this, remove what's on their bodies."
Blue kicked the one Yellow was fighting.
Yellow approached the witch I was supporting.
We were surprised when Yellow's eyes turned green, as if she was analyzing the witch's body.
"Don't move," Yellow said.
We stepped back as Yellow's hand passed through the witch's stomach as if she was taking something out, and when Yellow's hand came out, she was holding a finger-sized object that looked like a bomb.
The witch held her stomach.
"This is a bomb with a tracking device," Yellow said, and her eyes returned to their golden color.
She threw the bomb, and it was struck by lightning.
Yellow removed six more bombs.
She threw two of them, which were struck by lightning.
The other two she threw to Red.
Red caught them.
She moved her hand, causing the ground to open up, and threw the bombs in, then closed the ground again.
The bombs exploded.
The last two bombs were caught by Blue, who trapped them in a water balloon, and they exploded there.
Two dark users were left, and they stopped moving.
When Blue approached them.
We were shocked when Blue grabbed the shadows of the two dark users.
And they turned to ash.
Blue approached us.
"Th-thank you," the seven witches stuttered.
They seemed frightened of Blue.
"Hmm... you're welcome," the triplets replied.
We all sat on the grass.
"How did the dark users get in here?!" Oiteru asked.
"The barrier is strong... it couldn't have been broken," Luhan said.
"Dark users can enter the elemental kingdom if they have a portal," Yellow said.
We looked at Yellow after hearing what she said.
"Or there could be a dark user capable of bypassing the barrier through teleportation," Red said.
We looked at Red; they were standing while we were sitting.
"No... I don't think so. Believe it or not, many dark users are already in the elemental kingdom, hiding," Blue said.
"That's impossible! No one has ever been able to enter the barrier, so how could that have happened?!" Spade exclaimed.
"Maybe before the barrier was strengthened, there were already dark users living here, secretly plotting their plans, hiding here, and preparing for an attack," Blue said.
We all fell silent at her words.
What if what Blue said was true? Is another war going to happen like it did 10,000 years ago?
"OVER THERE!!"
We looked up as someone shouted.
We saw five women riding their brooms descending.
The five hugged the seven witches.
The five also had white hair.
"Sisters! You saved them!" said the witch with black eyes, who seemed to be the youngest.
"Thank you for being safe... thank you for rescuing them. I'm Light, the eldest among us," she introduced herself.
Each of them introduced themselves.
And the witch I supported earlier, with green eyes, is named Venus.
So there were 12 of them: Amiena, the youngest with black eyes; Labieta, with hazel brown eyes; Mars; Miracie; Neri; Cc; Necyl; Claire; Blaire; Maxi; Light; and Venus, the last two.
We introduced ourselves as well.
"Uhmm... Orin, can we stay here for a while?" Light asked.
"It still depends on them, and besides, it's all men here," Orin responded.
"We can protect ourselves," Labieta said.
"Is it okay with you guys?" Orin asked.
We just nodded, since after all, we had told them to set aside their anger towards women.
...
"We agree, but you must leave after three days," Hade said.
"Thank you!" the witches said.
"You'll stay with Oiteru." End.
"Okay," the witches agreed.
"Uhmm, Red?" Amiena asked.
