Chapter 9

"What? I didn't even know what was going on before." Cloud said while wondering why he was Holding a broom. "Did I really say that?" He asked in surprise. Red stopped wiping the window and then looked at Cloud badly.

"Stop us in your nitpicky Cloud, you are the reason why I was forced to join your gimmick to help that Stupid woman." Red said then looked at me badly.

"Huh? I don't even remember that I spoke." Cloud insisted.

"Oh eh don't worry, just keep the book away." Ice said and glared at Cloud, I suddenly felt guilt. They are also affected. They should not have agreed to come with me. It is not their business to clean.

"Oh, why are you standing there?, clean up. stupid" Red asked me with a raised eyebrow so my companions looked at me, I looked at them one by one who stood and stopped what they were doing.

"You shouldn't be here with me." I saw Red frown.

"That's right, if you weren't a fool to go to the Stelers' building and get the wine, we wouldn't be here." Said Red.

"That's enough, we wanted to go with you." Shadow's groan.

"If the other one wasn't steal something, we wouldn't be here." Red said.

"I don't even remember saying that, when I woke up I was already here in the old library with a broom in my hand." Cloud said but Red didn't listen. "Moon admit it to us, did you really go to the stilers building and take the wine we saw?" Cloud asked me, I looked at him and shook my head.

"Moon, it's impossible, Zero can't took that wine." Ice's groan.

"Zero took it, he was with me last night. I don't know why he's not here now. I'll prove that to you when I see Zero again." I said. They just stared.

"You are going crazy." Red said and walked away from me. They quietly went back to what they were doing so I went back to what I was doing, I was wiping old books while Ice and Red were sweeping, Shadow was wiping the tables while Rain and Cloud were arranging the book on the other side.

"Moon." I looked behind me but I didn't see anyone don, I felt someone touch me twice on my shoulder so I looked don and saw Zero with a sad face and holding a broom.

"Sorry." He says.

"Zero ..." I called, he took a deep breath then looked at me sadly.

"I heard that the Admiral called you earlier, and gave you a punishment. I tried to talk to them but they wouldn't listen to me." He said while sadly bowing. Instead of being angry with him I felt pity.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I'll help you." He said then lifted the broom he was holding. "After all, I'm the reason why you perished. I'm Sorry." He said so I immediately shook.

"It's okay, I'm just sad because they were affected as well." I said.

"I went to the admiral and admin's office earlier, I was talking to them but they didn't want to listen to me. I can't do anything to protect you." He said things I regret.

"I told you we'll scold you." I said.

"Sorry." he said sadly, I smiled at him.

"Do you know how to clean?" I asked so he looked at me and shook his head. I smiled.

"Just sit down and watch me, oh maybe you can talk to our friends." I said but he shook his head.

"I want to learn how to clean." He said so I laughed.

"Are you sure?" I asked, he nodded so I laughed and pointed to the adjacent bookshelf.

"There you go, take the old books and put them down." I said that's why he nodded and immediately took the book that was there.

"Hoy, Moon." I turned to the caller and saw Red with her forehead furrowed.

"Can you lower your voice if you go crazy again. It's annoying." She said then left so I just turned my gaze back to Zero who was now stepping on the chair and taking the books upstairs.

"Can you do it?" I asked, he looked at me and nodded.

We sat down on the sofa at the same time as we got inside the facility. We felt very tired. The night was over and we had no rest made to clean the old library. Think about it, we had just cleaned the old library and it was already night. I looked at Zero next to me and leaned on the sofa.

"I told you not to join, you're just get tired." I said so he looked at me and shook his head while smiling.

"I told you I'm okay, I didn't know it was that hard to clean." He said so I smiled.

"Hoi, Moon." I looked at the caller, almost everyone with me turned to look at me.

"You're the one to cook, after all it's your fault why we're tired." Red said calmly but she looked at me like i'm weird. I immediately stood up.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked while looking at them but they were only looking at me so I wrinkled my forehead.

"Anything hurry up." Red said annoyed and stared at me. I nodded.

"Oy let me help you." I looked at Zero who spoke.

"Don't, just rest anymore." I said but he stood up and approached me.

"I'm fine." He said again, as if I could stop him from doing what he wanted. We walked to the kitchen together, he sat on a chair so I took some water and handed it to him, He smiled and accepted it.

"Thank you." He said, I got the things I will use for cooking so he looked at me.

"Are you going to cook pancit?" He asked. I looked at him.

"Do you want to?" I asked, he smiled and immediately nodded so I laughed, he was like a child. While I was slicing the condiments, he was blabbering on about me, he was just asking something that I laughed at, it looks like only now can he taste the food of the poor.

"I want to be the one to cut, teach me." He said so I looked at him. He left his seat and approached me.

"I want to learn things like that." He said and looked at me so I smiled and gave him what I was slicing, I taught him how to do it before I put it in the pan.

"Moon." We both looked at the one who called me, Shadow.

"Why? Are you hungry already? Wait a minute." I said, he shook his head and smiled.

"I want to help you." He said that's why Zero and I looked at each other, the kitchen was spacious. but it's not that hard for me to cook for him to help me, one more. Zero is already helping me.

"Shadow I know you're tired so just sit there and watch Zero and me." I said something that he was scratching, wait, did I offend him? "Because it's not that hard for me to cook so that you can watch Zero and me." I said.

"Moon the pan." I looked at what Shadow pointed out and saw that the frying pan was already smoking so I immediately turned off the fire and looked at Zero's direction but he was no longer there. Has he left yet?

"Where's Zero?" He asked confused so I looked at him and shrugged.

"He's already gone." I said, he suddenly approached me and patted my forehead. Something that surprised me.

"Your temperature is normal." He said so I laughed.

"My temperature is really normal." I said then gave him the vegetable that Zero hadn't finished slicing.

"There, just help me. It's weird because Zero left me suddenly." I said and laughed and shook my head.

~~

"It's delicious." Star said while his mouth was full of noodles, Here we are in the dining area of the facility and eating the pancit I cooked, I was glad because they liked the pancit I prepared. Except for Red who until now has been able to observe the pancit on her plate.

"You're so picky Red, it's not poisonous." Shadow says eating pancit too. Red looked at us especially at me.

"Will you feed us the food of land plagues like yours?" She asked so Cloud laughed.

"You said anything right? You learn to eat what's on the table Poor." Cloud's teasing.

"I'm not asking for your damn opinion." Said Red.

"I don't need you to ask for an opinion." He told Red reason to make me laugh softly and Red to look at me badly.

"As if I will eat the food of the poor." She said and stared at me.

"Nothing is lost if you taste it." Ice said to get more pancit.

"You know, Moon really cooks the best, when we first met she cooked me the Garlic Shrimp, promised it was delicious." Rain was proud and eats pancit.

"Nye, nye. Later there will be more poison." Red said but we laughed when we heard her stomach sound. She was obviously hungry.

"Are you hungry red? You're poor." Cloud's teasing. She blinked and rushed to take a spoon and taste the noodles, her forehead was still wrinkled while chewing but when she cast a spell she looked at me badly then ate more we laughed at.

"Many more said, she will eat as well." Said Star.

"Shut up." Said Red and ate.

"Oi let's give Zero." I said something that stopped them. They looked at me at the same time so I was surprised.

"Why?" I asked but they just shook their heads and ate quietly.
