LUCEM
LXXXVIII Chapter

"By the way, I want to hear a light story from you guys" Venus said after a brief silence.

"What kind of light?" my reply.

"You don't understand," said Jiso quietly. He still looked straight ahead. Staring at the back of the chair in front of him as if it would disappear if he blinked.

"You'll never know that before you try it" I said.

"Huh, you can try it," cynical Jiso.

I turned to Venus, and the man stared waiting for me.

"Um. well, I know something as light as our journey to Ahem city first, I don't think you'd have expected what adventure we've been through," I began.

"Oh, stop it, Mars... It's weighing on me, weightless story," Jiso cut later.

"Eh, didn't we just say about the light story?" I gawk.

"The story is not boring and new" said Venus.

"Ooooo.... Do I have that?" I switched to Jiso.

The rather large rat just laughed sinisterly staring at the chair.

For a while we all fell silent again. I didn't have a light story like we needed and I didn't expect it to be Jiso who then took over to tell the story. The commander rat didn't look to have anything to say lightly, I think.

After a moment of silence and thinking, I asked again.

"What if you tell me about your love affair with that beautiful woman," I pointed to Magenta with my chin.

"Oh, it's not really light, but interesting," sambar Jiso.

I saw an enthusiastic look in his eyes. And laughs inwardly, 'gossip rat'.

Venus looked a little surprised but then she started telling stories.

"Okay, something new for you to know. Magenta and Lusio were once engaged," said Venus softly, her hands agitated over her crumpled trousers because she had been twisted repeatedly.

"What?" Jiso and I fell silent afterwards. Staring at Jiso whose eyes were wide open. Very wide. Wider than the plane. His eyes widened so wide that they basically filled the sky.

"When? Hows it? Why didn't anyone tell me?” Jiso threw a barrage of questions.

"Venus has told you just now with confidence," I said sharply, Jiso and Venus simultaneously staring at me intently.

"I know." I shrugged my shoulders. “But Venus is right. We are a team now, like it or not, and we have to reveal all this openly. Take out your little secrets.” I said carelessly.

"Cih," Venus and Jiso compact throw face.

“Open in the open? What about the fact that you and Moonflower or you and Maria are in a relationship you never mentioned in form?” ejek Jiso then.

“Hei,” said, “aku will—”

"wait. Wait." Wait." Jiso cut my conversation. He raised his hand. “Why do we change the topic of conversation? Magenta, engagement! Oh, my gosh, this— This is so good. It's a big problem, whether this can give us sep—” advantage

"That's not a big thing." I turned around, frowning at him. “We all know such a thing could be or will come. The two are basically destined to be together, Magenta and Lucio's man. I mean it's possible, even I can admit it.” I tilted my head, considering. “I mean, right, I think they still look young, but—” now I'm so confused myself.

Jiso shook his head. "No. No. gabe. That's not what I'm talking about. I don't care about the actual engagement. He stopped, looking down at Venus. “I mean—um, congratulations and everything, do we need to say that and charge a party, small course maybe.”

Venus looks very upset.

“I mean, it reminds me of something. Something very nice. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. Gosh, that would give us the perfect lead. Genius and witch.

But Jiso got up from his chair, walked towards Venus and, carefully, I followed. "Did you remember," Jiso said to him, "when were you and Magenta together?"

Jiso shot Venus with a venomous look and said, in a dramatic cold tone, "I'd rather not do it."

Venus ignores Jiso's statement with her hand. “Well, I remember. I remember more than I should, perhaps, because Magenta always complained to me about his relationship with the man. And I remember, in particular, how much the man hoped to be able to live with him in the future, they once promised each other that."

"Promise themselves?" I frowned.

"Yes, like—" She hesitated, her arms swirling as she gathered her thoughts, but Venus suddenly sat more upright in her chair, seemingly understanding.

"I don't really know Lucio, but I know Magenta. She's a serious woman with a good side of humor, '" Venus laughed.

"Ah, your story is complicated, man," I patted Venus' thigh. "Frankly I don't understand any part other than the fact that Magenta was once engaged to someone and it wasn't you" I nodded in concern.

"Fuck you," Venus pushed me away and returned to the control room.

"Congratulations, you have made the light conversation to lose its crisp and festive image," I pointed at Jiso with a face made half-seriously.

"God."

"Venus!" Jiso suddenly exclaimed.

"Slow down on landing, please," pinta Jiso with a voice in the hold.

Venus raised her hand as a signal that she had heard the mouse's request.

"Do you think this plane can come down gently?" My toot.

"Don't ask me, you're the one who's been feeling your personal flight" Jiso snorted.

"Oh, is that what a flight is?" I asked for a smile.

Jiso didn't respond to me. His chest puffed up, it seemed he was concentrating fully as the plane slowly lowered.

Some mice woke up and looked dazed. Some of them started to sit up straight like Jiso did.

And I slowly and carefully walked towards the chair on Marbella's side. He closed his eyes as before.

I deliberately touched a little of his fingers, and as I expected, he opened his eyes.

"You scared?" tanyakanya.

"Fearful? Of course not, I'm so used to it after seven hours in the air" I said excessively.

Like a curse from a lie that nature did not condone, the plane suddenly shook again. And I swiftly caught Marbella's hand, quickly. Marbella is seen holding her breath and straightening her neck to a chair.

As soon as the shock subsided I pulled out completely exhaling with relief, glanced at Marbella then laughed softly. "Hey, Marbi.. Did you blanch?" My toot.

"Marsa...."

"Yes, Marbi?"

"You almost crushed my hand, brother" he said, staring at my hand.

"Ooh... Hehehe, sorry," I laughed awkwardly and raised both my hands in the air, then whistled looking at the window. And the plane was back in motion.

HOLY JEEZ! Am I really not lying?
