TUKS!
Marko put his tray quite rough to make the four friends look up to look at his figure who just arrived there.
"I bring you the latest news!" He said with a serious face. The four friends looked at him with confused faces, not understanding Marko's words.
"What do you mean?" Ask Vincenzo there. Marko took a seat right next to Taz who was now sitting next to Vincenzo.
"You know?" Marko whispered softly, making the four friends had to bring their faces closer to hear it.
"What?"
"I heard that one of our friends at this school, one by one, started to disappear" he said.
"missing? You mean lost how?" Dean asked.
"Disappeared like the rumor I told you. About the disappearance of hundreds of students at one of the schools. Mysteriously lost without clear news and can not be traced wherever his existence."
"uh? Did ya? Are you sure?" Nero seemed to be unexpected.
"Yes. And I heard what's missing is some XII grade kid."
"But how can it be?" Taz asked.
"Nobody knows, but somehow I feel that this has something to do with Mr. Trish's presence at our school" Marko suspects.
"Sir Trish? What connection?" Vincenzo.
"Aren't you aware that Mr. Trish has been acting strangely all this time?"
"Any? Mean weird?" Dean doesn't understand.
"A few days ago I saw Mr. Trish strange, he was hiding something and many times I caught him walking around in some part of the school, and after that I get a lot of information if some kids start disappearing."
"You know where it came from? I don't think anyone talks about this at school" Nero said.
"You never read the school forum? There everyone was talking about their friends who suddenly disappeared. Some of them are missing are his roommates, there are also those who claim to be missing are his friends or classmates. And the other students are starting to fret about it."
"But why is there no information about this from teachers? And why does everything seem so calm, as if no one knows? Is no one reporting this to the teacher or perhaps no teacher is aware of this?" Ask Vincenzo.
"Some of you have talked about this to teachers, but I heard that the teachers seemed to be investigating the case secretly and trying as much as possible to cover everything from the students so that they did not feel anxious about this incident. But there is also one student who argues if the teachers are indifferent and do not care about this."
"It's impossible for teachers to behave like that, isn't it? After all, the missing students are still their responsibility as a substitute for parents at school" Nero denied.
"Taz! Why are you quiet?" Marko who realized that his cousin was daydreaming then rebuked him to make the empu he called jolted and turned spontaneously towards Marko who was now sitting right next to him.
"A-ah yeah? Why?" Taz.
"Why are you silent? Do you know anything about this?" Marko asked who was feeling a little suspicious.
"Ah no. I don't know anything, don't think too much, we'd better eat. Come on," Taz switched the conversation and then tried to focus on eating there. The four friends fell silent in response to Taz's strange behavior.
"You lied!" Nero's chirps that have since captured the different colors of sound coming out of Taz's voice. Suddenly everyone turned towards Nero who had just spoken.
"He lied?" Marko asked.
"I know you're lying, you're forgetting the ability I have?" Nero's speech made Taz speech silent a thousand languages. They had been together for a month but Taz had not been familiar with the ability possessed by Nero who could basically see the color of the sound heard by him and could distinguish between the words he heard honest and lying words that come out of his mouth.
"You better tell me what you know," Nero emphasized each sentence. Taz, who basically does not like being pressured, is annoyed with Nero pressing him. Plumes of smoke began to emerge from his body, and sparks began to appear around his body.
Marko who realized that then rushed to try to reduce the anger of his cousin.
"Quiet down! Don't get angry like that" he said, patting Taz's shoulder gently. The man turned to her with a sharp look, but responded with a flat look.
"Don't put anyone else in danger" he said later, which spontaneously made Taz aware.
"Present yourself. If you don't want to tell a story it's okay we'll wait until you're ready to tell a story" Dean said.
"Yes, we'll wait" Vicenzo chimed. Taz slowly began to be able to control his emotions and in an instant the sparks disappeared along with the puff of smoke that appeared more and more out of his body.
"Good, now set your breath so you're calmer" Marko calmed down.
"I'm sorry if I overemphasize," said Nero, who felt guilty, initially suppressing him only with the intention that no one else would experience this incident, and so that they can both find out what is really going on where they live. This is very disturbing for people including him and his friends.
Taz was speechless, choosing to grab his drink there and gulp it down.
"In Taz's name I forgive you. Sorry also if Taz still can't control his abilities" said Marko.
"It's okay, I get it."
"It is better now that we focus on eating, after that we return to our respective rooms. My homework is so much tonight" Vicenzo said.
"Yes you're right, my job too" Dean said. The five of them then tried to refocus on the food that was now being presented in front of them, and a moment later silence enveloped their togetherness at the dinner table.
