Everyone was left frozen, Zero looked at side and Alpha was holding his wrist and looking down. And Kin was standing next to her and she was holding another hand of Alpha. No one understand what's happening but Zero remembered and said, "Right, Alpha was coming back to my home. I forgot to tell that."
And Eta, Beta, and Epsilon were finally relieved that Alpha is going to her house back and doesn't think bad about Zero. Eclipse and Delta were a little bit sad about it but they just smiled and accepted it. Zeta had nothing to do with it but Rehi and Rem were surprised by that.
"But...why? Is this house small or any problem in that, Alpha?" But Rem had an objection with it and Alpha looked down and with hesitation replied, "No, everything was fine...just...I realised that there was something wrong understandings and I guess...I was missing something..."
And everyone looked at Zero with a sweat but he didn't think in the view others were thinking.
"I really regret not having his dinner and breakfast after watching you both eating happily..." Alpha stated and everyone was left shocked. Alpha blushed a little bit but she was actually missing the meals and food. She loved to have delicious meals by restaurants and chefs but no one gave the taste of the home to her, she actually realised that she was wrong and she choses to return now and learn something and do what she actually wants to do now. That was all her will now and she really wanted to leave and live in the forest again.
"Well then," Beta suddenly stood from her seat and said, "We are also coming, we also want delicious meals which Seven and Del were having all the time. Sacreficer, you are inviting us for a dinner, right?"
Everyone started standing from their seats and Zero started sweating, he never invited anyone for the dinner ever before but he thought that it is how it happens--
Beta passed by Zero and put her hand on his shoulder and said, "So you are inviting? Thanks for that, we all are coming."
And Zero started sweating more, when did he say yes although he won't say no either. Everyone started leaving already and Alpha was just watching them.
Rehi came to Zero and asked, "So I will also call my chefs for that--"
But everyone denied straight with anger, "Definitely no!!! We all are going to work together and there's no chef needed for that."
Rehi started sweating...but he was hopeless and he had to follow of the majority.
The night arrived and everyone were sitting on the wooden floor at the living room and Zero started serving to anyone. The food were served and everyone took off their masks and Zero suddenly disappeared somewhere, and they all know why he would have disappeared and they just ignored and started having their dinner.
But Alpha didn't want to eat now and she just feed Kin properly. The dinner continued and everyone were talking and discussing between each other.
The dinner ended and Alpha didn't say much. Everyone finally started leaving and Delta and Eclipse bowed, saying to her to thank Zero from their side to keeping them and treating and serving with everything. The door finally closed and everyone started walking away and Alpha looked back--
Suddenly the tap at the kitchen started. Alpha smiled with a sweat and looked at the kitchen and Zero came back from nowhere and started washing the plates.
"You didn't eat anything, did you?" Zero asked and Alpha was left frozen. "Take your seat, I am serving."
Kin was sleeping peacefully on her bed and Alpha finally started having her dinner and Zero was sitting in front of her and looking down but having no thought in his mind.
"I...I want to join you..."
Zero's eyes widened and he looked in front. Alpha was hesitating to say but she finally looked at Zero eye to eye and seriously said, "I want to fight now...I have lost everything, like you...I want to live like you now...I want to work with you from now on."
And Zero started sweating...what? His first priority to keep Alpha safe but it's going somewhere else. He didn't get it why?
Alpha looked down with a little bit of anger and she said, "There's no meaning of my life if I did nothing. I want to fight like you do, for the humanity and whatever it is...I want bet my life now and give everything to just become strong and keep on fighting and fighting...that will make some meanings to my life, it doesn't matters if I died while fighting."
Zero's eyes widened...but he looked down then and thought for a second, Alpha is herself sacreficing her life and she doesn't care whether she lives or not, if that's her choice then he himself is hopeless. More than her own security, her freedom and wishes and will matters. Zero just smiled and finally accepted, "Fine then, but before all that, listen to me."
Alpha's eyes widened, she never expected that Zero would agree so quickly but she was lucky. She smiled and looked at Zero and Zero explained one thing important seriously.
"My only advice over that is... don't jump in the battlefield with just spirit of your will. Have a mind as well, think properly, strategic mind, analyze the chances of eliminating... and if on one fight, you are 100% sure you can't win...forget everything and just go wild. Swipe your sword until you die at those situations. That's all I tell to myself at every fight. And the rest is your choice."
Alpha was left frozen...but she just started laughing and Zero smiled.
"Looks...like a family is enjoying...huh...?"
Alpha's eyes widened and Zero looked outside seriously...and the anaconda was rising up and he wasn't all alone, there were a thousands poisonous snakes as well following him and looking at Zero and Alpha.
