I saw the woman who was my friend's sister.
She had clean white hair, bright blue eyes, and a slim body with skin like she lacked blood; she was not as pale as me, she was more like an albino. And, she was born with this physical condition as well, she was also 180 cm tall.
Because she has no skin pigmentation, her skin is very sensitive to the sun and therefore she rarely leaves the store or her home and only comes out at night.
Her name is Leona Elizabeth Lykos.
Normally, I would suspect he would be a vampire, but he was not, I know that because I've seen him eat regular food and I know vampires can't eat food other than blood.
Even though Violet sometimes forgets about it and asks to learn to cook with my mom, I think she's just excited?
I walked up to my cat and started stroking it, and as usual, she started snoring in satisfaction, then she lay down on the table and spread her legs as if asking me to stroke her stomach.
Leona approached me and I also saw Andrew walking away and sitting in a chair away from the counter, he seemed to be waiting for me. I don't think he wants to talk to Leona?
Well, I didn't judge him, what he did in the past must have hurt Leona, therefore, he was just being considerate.
"Why is your cat so to you? When I tried to caress her, she started to growl at me." Leona spoke with a frown as she stopped and looked at me as if she was judging me, I felt she was looking at me from top to bottom.
"Well, is he my cat?" I spoke.
"Meow!" Zack meowing agreed.
"You've changed ..." Leona spoke while looking at me ...
"Yes, you too" I said honestly. After all, I noticed her skin was better than in the past, I think living in isolation helped her?
"..." - ".Leona remained silent, and I watched her keep looking at me.
I looked at him confused; I knew I had changed, but did he need to look at me like he was seeing a rare beast?
"Hmm, how's Zack's health?"
Suddenly, he stopped looking at me and looked at Zack, "He's fine."
"really? But he was meowing a lot." I remember I couldn't sleep because he kept meowing like he was dying or something.
"... well, she's horny"
"...Huh uh?" I looked at Zack, saw the fat furry cat looking at me with a satisfied look, I felt he was so cute that I started petting him again. "You mean he's hot?"
"Meow meow!" He snores complacently.
"Yes. Therefore, he meows a lot, don't you consider casting it? Since you're my childhood friend, I'll give you a good price."
Zack suddenly got up from the counter and looked at Leona with a glaring gaze like he was looking at his greatest enemy, he was even slightly growling.
"He didn't like the idea very much." I chuckled as I looked at Leona who was staring at Zack in shock.
"He's very smart." He praised.
"Yes," I said, nodding my head, then I answered the question, "I will not castrate him, after all, as a man, I understand Zack; he still wants to have children, right? Buddy?"
"Meow." Zack meowed as if he agreed, then he jumped on my shirt and slowly climbed onto my shirt, past my shoulder, then he hung on my shoulder; this was something he did when he was young. After all, I have raised him since he was very young, and he always liked to be on my shoulders for some reason.
Since my shoulders are wider than before, he can easily find a comfortable position.
"Didn't he act like a monkey?" Leona spoke a little surprised.
Zack looked at Leona and started growling at her, she really didn't like it, huh?
"Ugh, I was offended; all the animals liked me and, because of this gift, I made this shop. But, why doesn't he like me?! She's so cute, I want to hug her!" He spoke with a frown.
I just chuckled, and I found Leona's expression funny, when I was about to say something, I heard:
"Oh? Victor, long time no see." I looked at the entrance of the shop.
And before long I saw a tall man come in, 195 cm tall, with a toned body, platinum blonde hair, and blue eyes like Leona; she was Leona's brother.
Edward Jonathan Lykos, he's also my former personal trainer. In the past, he worked as a fitness coach, but he suddenly decided to change jobs and now he has a bar.
He was also the one who trained me in martial arts in the past, although I could not learn much due to my physical limitations, I only learned how to defend myself. Techniques such as kicking a man's most valuable organ, using a stun gun... Come to think of it, this is training for weak women, huh?
"Sup, Ed, do you still shine in the sun when you walk down the street?"
"Ughs. Can you forget this boring joke? Because of that vampire movie, every Edward on the planet now suffers from that prank." He spoke with annoyance.
I chuckled and said, "I'm kidding, how are you?"
"It's okay, I've finished building my recreational bar area, you can go there if you want, remember I'm only open at night." He spoke while closing the door and walking towards the counter.
"I see, I'll visit her sometime."
"Sister, did you finish the order I asked for?" Leona asked.
"Yes, that's an easy thing."
"Good," Leona nodded in satisfaction, and went to meet a customer who had entered the store.
I saw Andrew approaching, then he said, "Yo, Ed. How are you?"
"I'm fine," Edward looked at Andrew, "Is my sister still mad at you?"
"Yes...Honestly, I didn't know that the woman was his only friend, if I knew I wouldn't approach her." Andrew spoke with a sorry face.
In the past, Leona was bullied because of her looks and because she always hung out with Andrew, who was a cute boy, and my other friend Fred, who was a very funny boy, he ends up getting free hate from the girls at school.
He also hung out with me in the past, but I was almost non-existent to the girls in school. After all, I was thin and I looked very sick, I thought I was a good match for Leona because of this similarity.
Fortunately, her brother never let bullying escalate, as he was a veteran at the time, and he protected his sister with teeth and nails. He even beat up a student who hurt his sister... How can I say, I respect her a lot; she doesn't care if they're female or male, her fists have true gender equality...
Although this incident was a big deal in the past, she was almost arrested, fortunately she had the support of my mother who was a famous lawyer; if not for my mother, she said, and his father who was a teacher at the school in the past, he would be behind bars now.
The good side of the story is that bullying stops happening, after all, the girls are scared of Edward.
But it wasn't all interest, because of this incident, Leona couldn't make friends near her area of residence, and was the only friend she used to date Andrew.
Leona is angry with Andrew.
"You don't have to worry too much, one day he'll forgive you, no matter how good you are," Edward spoke with a gentle smile.
"Ugh, stop lying, I know him as well as you do, I know he's vindictive" Andrew said.
"Indeed." Edward agreed.
"Meow." Zack meows agreed too.
Edward looked at Zack for a moment, then looked at me. "Hmm, are you an adult?"
"You just realized it, brother?" Leona who finished serving customers said, now that there are no customers in the store, she can participate in more active conversations.
"Ugh, how do I know that? He's always the shortest in the group."
"Oof," I made a gesture like I was stabbed by an arrow through the heart.
"Brother, you don't have to be rude!"
“It's okay, I also know that if I'm short, I'm even shorter than Leona..” my comment is a little depressed.
"Hmm, your muscles are also determined, how do you get that muscle?" He asked curiously.
"Well, I'm following the training you went through and some videos on the internet." The lies get more absurd as time goes on, quite obviously they are suspicious, they don't ask too many questions because they respect my privacy.
"Oh, you're not using steroids, are you?"
"Of course not, I know what effect it has on the body" I replied.
I took Zack off my shoulder and put him on the table, then stopped stroking him. Zack meowed annoyed at me, but I ignored him, he looked snorting for a few seconds and then started walking around the place.
"Hmm" Suddenly, Edward put his hand on his chin and looked at me: 'Did:
"Are you still being bullied?" He asked in a neutral tone.
Leona and Andrew looked at me, Leona looked worried, and Andrew looked angry.
"I wasn't bothered anymore, I resolved that situation yesterday," I spoke with a big smile on my face.
I saw Leona's body tremble a little, and Andrew just kept looking at me.
"I heard you dealt with him using a game of basketball" Edward said.
"I heard you jump out of the middle of the field and do a dunk." He continued while looking at me with suspicious eyes.
"..." - ".I remained silent, after all, I did not try to hide the changes in my body, nor did I want to hide them.
"Well, there's no need to feel pressured, we all have secrets we want to hide, I'm just annoyed you don't want us to get involved in this situation" Edward spoke with a gentle smile.
"Yes! I want to hit that bastard!" Andrew speaking.
"Yes, bullying is unforgivable" Leona said.
I looked at Andrew, "I appreciate you guys caring about me, but you know me, right?"
I looked at my friends with a big smile on my face: "Luan is mine! Only mine! I will not let anyone get involved in this, he is someone who hurt me and insulted my mother; this grudge can only be wiped out by me, this is my pride!" Only I am allowed to step on and destroy Luan, I will not be satisfied otherwise.
My friends might call me a fool, or an idiot, but I don't care; I won't let my enemies be destroyed by anyone other than me!
"Huh, I get it, you have the dignity of being a man and I respect that but don't overdo it, okay? I don't want to see you arrested" Edward said and advised me.
"Indeed, if you are arrested, please know that I have a plan for you to escape to Brazil, although that plan is still in progress" Andrew said.
"You fool! Why don't you just help her!?" Leona practically shouted out loudly.
Andrew and Edward looked at Leona.
Edward said, "He didn't ask for help, and I respect his pride, as a man, I can understand his feelings."
Andrew said, "Victor is my friend, and he knows his limits, if he needs help, he knows he can count on us; if he doesn't ask for help, I won't interfere."
"...You guys are such idiots!" Leona grunting.
"You won't understand" said Edward and Andrew nodding.
"Yes, yeah. I don't understand because I'm a woman, do I?" Leona spoke in annoyance.
"Wrongly, you don't understand why because you never tried to fight the person who bullied you," Edward spoke in a loud tone.
"I'm weaker, and they're" Leona tries to say something, but Edward cuts her off:
"You know I'm not talking about that... There is a big difference between accepting bullying and fighting it. The attitude of how you deal with bullying is paramount, you never decide to ask for help, and you never talk about it! You just put up with everything secretly!" Edward spoke with a slight raise of his voice.
"..." - ".Leona looked surprised to see her sister.
He sighed and said, "Unlike you, Victor never received bullying and warned us what happened to him, and he told us that he would solve it somehow."
"Indeed," continued Andrew ignoring Leona's gaze: "While we trust Victor, we are always looking for something to get out of control, we respect Victor's pride and decision, but that doesn't mean we stand idly by while our friend gets beaten up" he said with a smile, as if they were doing something I don't know.
I really have a good friend.I thought with a happy smile on my face, looking at Leona's sad expression I said, "Don't think too much about it, Leona."
"Huh?"
"Everybody handles situations differently, I'm different from you, and you're different from your brother. You don't have to push yourself too hard."
I approached Leona and patted her head a little: "You just need to do things your way, okay? And if you need help with something, you can count on me, your brother, Andrew, and Fred."
"Mm" Leona lowered her head, and I saw her face slightly red. Because his skin was so white, his embarrassment became very noticeable... Shit, I'm not supposed to do this, I have to control this hand; I've become so used to caressing women's heads.
I looked at Edward and saw his bloodthirsty gaze, he warned me about the code! I immediately pulled away from Leona, for a moment I saw her frown as she looked at her brother in annoyance.
"Hahaha, Victor was always good at talking," Andrew chuckled, then continued, "Oh, I heard he's married."
"...Huh uh?" Leona and Edward looked at me in shock.
