"Yara! Damn it! Let go!" — Hailey swore, breaking free from the embrace of the tallest of the girls present. In addition to her height, this girl was distinguished by the presence of round glasses.
"System, buy back a Rank 4 pill for me," ignoring the girls next to him, Idan immediately turned to his System to get the necessary pill. Right now, it was his only escape from the excruciating headache.
[Pill placed in storage] — Without making Idan wait long, the System quickly complied with his request, deducting 1,000 System Points at the same time.
Idan, pretending to take a pill out of his pocket, quickly pulled it out and immediately popped it into his mouth.
"Finally,"— Idan thought with relief as he swallowed the pill. Now he could only wait for it to take effect.
"Tell me, System, how long will it take for the pill to start working?" - he asked.
In response, the System sent only one word: [Be patient].
Idan had already endured as much as he could. The nosebleed seemed to have stopped, but the pain was still unbearable, making it difficult to think about anything else. The more he endured, the more difficult it became for him.
[Tink. A new task has been assigned — "To rescue the awakened infected with alien energy." Saved 0 out of 3. The reward depends on the number of saved.]
The unexpected notification from the System distracted Idan a little from the pain.
"Huh? System, what the hell? Which awakened ones?"
Idan was already thinking like shit, trying to endure the pain, at the same time he had to rush to Arabel's aid, and then there was the new assignment from the System.
Idan carefully raised his head so as not to increase the headache, and carefully examined all six girls. He assumed that three of them could be infected. However, no matter how hard he tried, all six of them seemed perfectly healthy. There was no indication that they had any health problems.
The girls also noticed Idan.
Idan noticed that all the girls were dressed in the same clothes, and their costumes had an emblem on them, indicating that they were members of the same guild or organization.
After making sure that everything was fine with these girls and that it wasn't them, Idan, overcoming the pain in his head, began to think. He immediately thought of the other two groups of awakened ones who were here.
Looking around slowly, carefully, Idan couldn't find them.
"Did you see the other awakened ones who were here?" he asked the girls.
The five of them looked at each other and shook their heads. But the tallest girl, whom Hailey called Yara, adjusted her glasses and replied:
"I saw some awakened ones over there." Having said that, Yara pointed towards the city.
"Oh! Thank you!" said Idan, still holding his head.
"Oh!" — Idan exclaimed, trying to stand up, but he couldn't help himself and fell face down. To his surprise and the surprise of everyone around him, he was caught and prevented from falling. The five girls watched this scene with wide eyes.
"Are you all right?" the girl asked, and the question sent shivers down Idan's spine. Of course, he found out who had caught him, and the thought made his head hurt even more.
He wanted to push her away, but Hailey's grip was stronger, and in his weak state, he couldn't resist.
"Damn it!" — Idan cursed to himself.
"Yes, I'm fine.", — Giving up, he replied to Hailey.
"What? What? What?" — A dark-skinned girl named Uvasha exclaimed, unable to believe what was happening.
"Is the leader having a crush on this guy?" — A girl with long pink hair asked.
"It looks like it, Nimuka.", — one of the twins agreed with her.
"I feel a little sorry for this guy.", — the other of the twins blurted out, looking at the young man Hailey was hugging. Their leader was a little weird, and if she already had her eye on the guy, she was unlikely to let him go.
"On the contrary, I feel sorry for this guy's girlfriend.", — the other of the twins, who had previously agreed with Nimuka, said, addressing her sister.
"Eh? What did you say, Lara? Does this guy have a girlfriend?" Sarah, that was the name of the second of the twins, couldn't believe her sister's words.
"I overheard a little conversation between the Leader and this guy, and I clearly heard that he has a girlfriend," Lara replied.
"I'm most worried about the Leader," Yara joined in. "I clearly heard the guy claim that her girlfriend is not only beautiful, but also quite strong."
Then Yara, looking at all four girls with a serious expression on her face, continued:
"Knowing our Leader, she won't back down from the guy and, on the contrary, will set her sights on his girlfriend. If the guy's words are true, then it won't be easy for our Leader."
The others were surprised by these words, then looked at each other, and smiles shone on their faces.
"Isn't that great?" asked Nimuka, and the others nodded in agreement.
All five girls couldn't wait to see what would happen next and what kind of drama would unfold.
They were curiously waiting for the reaction of the guy's girlfriend and his reaction to the situation.
If the guy's girlfriend turns out to be strong, that would be great too. At least someone will be able to fight back against their Leader and cool down her ardor a little.
"We must immediately inform the Guild Leader about this. If something happens to Hailey, and if the Leader finds out that we didn't report it in advance, then her anger will fall on us," Yara said seriously, and everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
With great difficulty, having freed himself from Hailey's excessive care, Idan went in search of Nico's group.
On the way to the city, Idan met all the girls and learned their names.
Idan found out that all the girls are members of the Red Fox Guild. Hayley was the leader of their group.
The girl with dark skin, long black hair and black eyes was named Uvasha. The twins' names were Sarah and Lara. The girl with long pink hair and eyes was named Nimuka, and the tallest and slimmest girl with glasses was named Yara.
"What? Did you come here at Irene's request?" wondered Idan when he found out why this group of girls from the Red Fox Guild suddenly appeared in Rumbus.
"Yes, the leader of the Queens Guild, Irene, having learned that we are the closest to Rumbus, asked us to check the rumors about impostors who pose as members of her Guild, as well as to find two people trusted by her," Yara explained.
Meanwhile, their leader, Hailey, was acting very strangely. She seemed to be floating in the clouds, not taking her eyes off Idan, and this was beginning to annoy him. Looking at his sour face, the other girls could barely contain their laughter.
