Episode 3-8: The Leech Twins
While facing the twins, things have gone bad to worst for Glory and the gang when they faced their main adversaries.
"It's a pleasure to meet you again Angelfish." Jade greets her politely but his smile is more beguiling. Then Floyd leans over and lays his arm to his cheek tilting his head to the left staring at her with his heterochromia eyes filled with admiration.
"Heya Lionfish. You looked so bummed out. If there's something bothering you...."
Floyd then goes over and wraps an arm around her shoulder.
"I'm always here to listen.~" Floyd whispers grimacing Glory deeply as she kept her composure and plasters a side smile. Not wanting to be rude to the eel, she gingerly grabs his hand and shoves his arm away from her while smiling coyly at him.
"Well considering the fact that YOU guys are responsible for tricking everybody who made a deal with your dorm leader, I have the right to complain about the issue." Glory directly pointed out with a coy smile.
"Eeeeh? That's part of our job." Floyd pouted before smiling eerily.
"Besides, it's fun to squeeze those guppies who didn't follow the contract~." Floyd retorted.
"Indeed. If anyone is to blame for consequences they faced, it would be our clients." Jade chimed with an ominous smile.
"Which means..." Soon, Floyd extends his long arms and wraps them around her waist as he brought her close to his waist.
"EVERYONE WHO DISOBEY AZUL, SHALL RECEIVE A TIGHT SQUEEZE FROM ME~!!" Floyd merrily sang but with a scarier tone as he wraps his arms tighter that causes Glory winced a little from the unpredictable eel's stronger grip that made her ribs cracked.
Ugh! God, this definitely brings back ole memories alright! Holy sh#t! What is their workout routines? Cuz this guy's strong AF!!
Glory thought as Jack grabs her wrist and pulls her closer to him as the wolf lets out a low growl at the shameless eel.
"Oi! Back off, asshole!!" Jack barks while holding her protectively.
"Aah~. Did I pissed your guardian?" He joked while smiling eerily, ticking the wolf off.
"I'm not her guardian. I just don't like how you're treating her!!" Jack retorts.
"Eeh? Are your jealous~?" Floyd teased slightly tilting his head, causing him to get flustered.
"Huh? No! This has nothing to do with this!" Jack growls while blushing causing Floyd to cackle at the wolf's reaction.
"Floyd. Stop it. We didn't came here to taunt them." Jade advises him, but with an amused smile before the composed twin turns his head to the group.
"Moreover, you three appear to be exceedingly troubled about something..." Jade assumes laying his hand under his chin acting curious, but his smile says it otherwise.
"Yeah, there is a certain someone working us to the bone." Ace spat.
"Ah ha, the contract breaking anemones are saying something. You don't have the right to complain. Shut up." Floyd seethes with a menacing tone with eyes that strikes fear to the eyes causing Grim to flinch and hide behind Deuce.
"Eeeeek...I'm gonna get squeezed again." Grim whimpers while shuddering behind Deuce.
"The one I'm talking to is not any of these anemones, but, rather, you. The reincarnation of Mother Gothel and prefect of the Ramshackle dorm, Gloriane Corbett." Jade informs with a no-good smile making Glory looked deadpanned before smiling sardonically.
"Of course you are. What a huge shocker." Glory sarcastically remarks, making the eccentric eel cackle at the stony ravenette.
"Aah hah! She's not scared like the rest of the fishes. I was right on calling you Lionfish; even though you're afraid of a spider. Ahahaha!!" Floyd howled with laughter, causing a tick mark to throb from her head while plastering a smile.
"Aren't you just the cutest. Laughing at someone's phobia like it's no big deal~. I feel sooo blessed~." Glory sarcastically remarks but with a sharp tongue.
"You're welcome, Lionfish~." Floyd sarcastically snarks back while smiling merrily. Jade elicits a chuckle.
"Fufufu~. My apologies, Angelfish. Floyd has a habit of giving nicknames to people that he's close with. For example, I call you an Angelfish because you emitted this pure beauty you possessed, but in the inside you're a tough, strong, and feisty Lionfish." Jade compliments while smiling ominously. Glory remains unfazed and rolls her eyes.
"Right, just tell me why are you guys here?" Glory commanded, looking annoyed with the twins.
"You were playing spy together with Riddle just the other day so you're probably already aware of who we are, but...Allow us to reintroduce ourselves." Jade assures as he approaches Glory and he gently takes her left hand as he pressed his lips on her hand.
"As I mentioned before, I am Jade Leech." He introduced as he released her hand. "This is my twin, Floyd." Jade said as he extends his arm to his twin brother as Floyd grins peppily and grabs her left hand while smiling brightly at her.
"Hello, I'm Floyd~. Nice to meet you again, Lionfish~." Floyd greets her while shaking her hand hastily while Glory kept her smile while shaking his hand.
"Pleasure's all mine as well." Glory dryly states while smiling slightly at him. Soon, Jade released her hand.
"Back to the matter at hand. Is your concern perhaps about...The situation these stupid anemones are in?" Jade smiling innocently but with a mocking tone that irks Glory to no end.
"Isn't it obvious? The anemones gave it away, so there's no need for you to remind us whose smile leaves a bad vibe in this room." Glory sasses while smiling innocently.
"Why you wound me, Angelfish. I would never do such an awful thing to anyone." Jade wood placing a hand to his chest, yet something feels off about him, making the wolf scoffs at him.
" 'Perhaps' my ass. Look at his smug grin." Jack retorts.
"Haha! Look Jade! He's spiny like a sea urchin." Floyd commented with a chuckle irking him.
"Wha...I'm no sea urchin! I'm a wolf! And let of her hand will ya!?" Jack growls with a tick mark throbbing from his head where Floyd is still holding Glory's hand. The eel chuckled and pulls her close to him.
"Eeeh why not? She looks so cute.~" Floyd coos while cuddling her making Glory cringe and gently shoves him away.
"Let's not get so cuddly in a place like this." Glory reassures before turning to Jade.
"So what are you suggesting we should do?" Glory asks curiously, crossing her arms.
"If the source of your concern is about these anemones..." Jade the crept a fake smile.
"I think it would be best if you approached Azul directly to discuss it with him." Jade informs.
"What now?" Jack mutters with a confused look.
"Azul is a deeply benevolent person just like the Sea Witch of the Great Seven. I'm sure he will hear you out." Jade reassures.
Who is also giving me Frollo vibes.....
Glory thought with a blank look.
"That's right. Azul can clear up any of your worries. For example...Even if you wish to free those anemones over there." Floyd implies causing the trio to gasp.
"Of course, 'for free'...is out of the question." Jade assures with a devilish smile. Glory rolls her eyes.
"Of course. Why am I not surprised?" Glory sarcastically asked with an undaunted look.
"Tch, I knew it was your aim. You want Wildcat to enter into a contract with him too." Jack snarls.
"Please don't bare your fangs. Land creatures are quick to violence it seems." Jade assumes with a mocking smile.
"We just told you out of the kindness of our hearts. Right, Jade?" Floyd asked with a sly smile.
"Yes, Floyd. We are the kind of people who just can't leave poor, unfortunate souls alone." Jade agrees.
"Fufufu...Heh heh heh." They both chuckle in a menacing way showing their sharp teeth sending chills down to her friend's spines with Glory grimacing at their snide laughter.
"If what we talked about it of any interest to you then please come by Mostro Lounge after 9 pm. We will be waiting with delicious tea ready for you." Jade informs.
"I'm waiting for you, Lionfish.~" Floyd coos flashing a flirty smile at her. But Glory isn't done with them yet as she smiles coyly at the twins.
"Sounds like a great request but before I agree...."
She saunters towards the twins stunning them, the trio, and Jack who immediately stood up from his seat with a worried look when she wraps her arms around their shoulders. Glory spins her head to Jade's ear.
"I would like to have a chat with you both in private outside..." Glory whispers as she spins her head to Floyd's ear.
"It's quite important." She informs. The twins were caught off guard when Glory made a suggestion but slowly formed an amused grins before spinning their heads to her ears.
"As you wish, Angelfish." Jade whispers.
"Lead the way Lionfish.~" Floyd coos into her ear. Glory giggles softly and backs away from them as she turns to the boys with a reassuring smile.
"We'll be right back." Glory reminds them but soon notice Jack's look of concern in his gold eyes. Noticed his worry, Glory strolls up to her and lays her hands on his shoulders with a grin.
"I'll be fine, Jack. I'm just going to have a private chat with them, you can count on me." Glory reassures. Jack looked wary at first but a minute of thinking, he lets out a sigh from his nose and nods.
"...Come back here when you're done. Got it?" Jack reminds her and she nods.
"I will." Glory replies as she and the twins left the cafeteria where she and the twins went to the dark corner of the halls. Once alone, Glory spins around to the twins with a innocent smile before her smile contorts to a dead serious scowl.
"Okay fess up. Both of you didn't tell everybody about my secret right?" Glory ask curiously.
"Oya? You mean the part where you're the future queen of Twisted Wonderland?" Jade restated with a grin acting very innocent.
"Don't play innocent with me, Jade Leech. It's bad enough I had a fight with you two at the halls yesterday, but it's also the part where you guys tricked my two brain cell friends and my cocky gremlin of a friend into signing a contract." Glory bluntly reminds them.
"Eeehh we couldn't help ourselves. We're just just our job.~" Floyd reassured with a childish smile shrugging nonchalantly.
"Indeed. It's their fault for ignoring the consequences of our deals. Therefore, it's our job to make sure our clients follow the instructions of the contract that they'd signed." Jade informs.
"Which you guys did it to used them as bait to get me swimming back to his domain and I NEVER asked for this to happened." Glory bluntly snarks.
"Ah ha. Too bad~. It is what it is, Lionfish.~" Floyd sang merrily.
"Indeed. There's no need to release your spikes at us. As I mentioned before, it's our job in Octavinelle that every client we encountered follows the contract that they made with Azul." Jade reassured.
"Surely this would knows this, correct?" He asks curiously with an irritating smile that causes Glory to get irked by their sly and snarky antics as a red vein pops from her head.
This guys...I swear! They're like a f#*king twisted Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin from Ouran High School Host Club!!
Glory thought while a red vein throbs from her head and twitches her brow before inhaling through her nose and exhaling out to regain her composure.
"So how long you've been spying me for? Did Azul told you about this?" Glory ask curiously.
"It was a direct order from the head dorm." Jade explains calmly.
"We overheard your conversation with the Heartslabyul gang at the library last weekend and we couldn't help but tell Azul about this. He was ecstatic, so he ordered us to gain more info about you before and after the Magift tournament. Once we gain a lot of info, we exchange that info to our dorm head. Then Azul order us to capture you and bring you back to our dorm yesterday which that failed. But then Azul made an intriguing plan last night. Which is to use you friends as bait to lure you into our domain by having these poor unfortunate souls to sign a contract with Azul and now here we are." Jade explains with a fake smile.
"That's how it is~." Floyd sang merrily.
"And him using my friends as bait is going to impress me?" Glory asked skeptically curling her brows at the shady twins.
"Yup." Floyd chirps with a cheery smile.
"Perhaps." Jade casually replies with a eerie smile.
"And if I were to meet with Azul, by 9 will I talk to him about the customers that you tricked?" Glory inquired sternly.
"Uh Huh!" Floyd chirped.
"Precisely." Jade replied coolly. Glory kept silent as the ravenette still dubious with the shady Leech twins before she could respond to their replies.
"...Why should I trust someone who attempted to kidnap me yesterday?" Glory asks skeptically.
"Nee~? You really don't trust us, Lionfish?~" Floyd asked merrily.
"We wouldn't hurt a soul. Including adorable and beautiful siren such as yourself." Jade reassured, but this does not suit well for Glory where she's not buying their compliments. Glory pouts at the twins with her arms fold to her chest, staring suspiciously at them; earning sly snickers at her cute pout.
"Nee nee, Lionfish. There's no need to get pouty like that. We're being honest." Floyd reassures with a perky grin as he said it in a sing-song tone.
"We can assure you Angelfish. We're quite generous individuals just like Azul and the Sea Witch of the Great Seven. Our dorm head told us not to inform all of the students about your secret role as future queen of Twisted Wonderland as well as your healing magic and secret meeting with at small nurse from the infirmary." Jade informs as he lays his hand on to his chest.
"You have our word, Angelfish." Jade reassures but something feels off about his grin that he pulls and Glory's still not buying his explanation. Though cautious, Glory stops and thought about what Jade and Floyd said to her just now.
Well...As much as I hate to admit it, Jade and Floyd made a good point. I haven't heard any students mentioning and spreading rumors about me being the future queen of Twisted Wonderland nor my secret meeting with Merlin. Guess they're right....for now...
She ponders while guarded with the Leech brothers. Without further adieu, Glory let's out a reluctant sigh and tucks her strand back to her left ear.
"...I'll let you off the hook. As long as you guys keep this whole future Queen of Twisted Wonderland and my secret meeting with Merlin a secret, but as I mentioned this before. If this comes out..."
Glory then pulls the collar of her dress and grabs something out of her chest confusing the twins until their eyes slightly widen when she pulls out a dagger from the scabbard and points it at Jade.
"I'll turn you both into sushi along with that slimy bastard, do you hear me?" Glory threatens with gret eyes glimmer with danger. Shocked yet a bit amazed by her brazen personality, Jade smirks intriguingly.
"Our lips are sealed, Angelfish." Jade understood.
"You know, you look cute without that dagger of yours. It doesn't suit your cuteness." Floyd snarks. Glory rolls her eyes and puts her dagger inside her bra. Then she crept a side grin.
"That's all I need to discussed. Thank you for your time gentlemen. See you at 9." Glory waves as she walks back to the cafeteria leaving the twins speechless.
"Jeez, she really needs to lower her spikes down." Floyd grumbles with a pout, but Jade chuckles softly.
"~fufufu~ true, but I can understand why Azul is intrigued by her. She's definitely the type of woman who won't give up too easily." Jade said.
"Yeah except the dagger part. I don't like it. It doesn't make her cute, but she is a wild one and I love the cute faces she makes when she gets scared by a spider! Ahahah!!" Floyd cackles.
"I can't wait to see her at our dorm!" Floyd chirps.
"Same here Floyd. Now let's go. We have to meet with Azul." Jade assures.
"Hai.~" He coos as he and Floyd walk back to their dorms to get ready for work at the Mostro Lounge.
———————
Meanwhile at the cafeteria, the trio and Jack were sitting at their table waiting for Glory to come back until they heard footsteps and their turns heads to see Glory sauntering back to her table with a grin.
"Glory!" They all shout as she grins and sits back down with her friends.
"What did you guys talked about?" Ace ask curiously.
"I just need to give them a reminder that if they spread out my secret to everybody in this campus, then it's sushi time for both of them." Glory informs much of their shock.
"Eeh!? They know your training with that old crook?" Grim shrieks.
"Yes and don't call him an old crook, Grim." Glory replies.
"Wait! How?!" Deuce shrills.
"Since the beginning. They were at the library last weekend and near the entrance from the infirmary the day after the Magift tournament ended." Glory told them.
"Tch no wonder why they acted so weird towards you." Jack sneers.
"Yeah, but back to this. We gotta think of another plan to beat Azul and that's when we head straight to the Octavinelle dorm by 9 pm as the twins said." Glory assures.
"So, that means...." Deuce implies.
"If you sign a contract with Azul and beat him..." Grim mutters.
"Depending on how it goes, we could be freed!?" Ace shrieks.
"We're counting on you, Glory/Glory-san/Glor!! Beat Azul!!" They pleaded.
"You guys didn't waste any time." He plainly snarks.
"Guys that don't have an anemone coming on their head wouldn't understand our pain!" Grim whines.
"And who think it's a good idea to sign a contract with Azul in the first place?" Glory reminds them with a blunt tone.
"Agreed. It's your fault for wanting to take it easy during test time." Jack directly points out.
"And we've learned our lesson, promise." Ace reassures with a irked look.
"Yeah. I won't do it again. Even if I fail, I'll accept my fate...!" Deuce acknowledges.
"You should say you're going to work so you don't fail again." Jack corrects him.
"So, what do you wanna do, Wildcat. Do you wanna go along with their whims?" Jack ask curiously.
"Well considering the fact that we both got dragged into this mess thanks to Crowley, we have no choice but to go to the Octavinelle dorm and check to see what he has to offer." Glory informs.
"This is the first time I've really thought of you as a prefect aka the future Queen of Twisted Wonderland!" Grim shrills. Jack averts his eyes and strokes his head before scoffing.
"...Tch, can't be helped. You'd be in danger by yourself. I'll go with you. Hell, Leona-senpai will reprimand me for allowing this to happen to a woman." Jack insists. Stunned yet flattered, Glory smiles warmly at the wolf.
"Thank you Jack." Glory replies with a sweet smile.
"Whoo~ Jack, you're so nice~." Ace teases flustering the tall wolf.
"Don't get the wrong idea! I just don't like what Azul's doing." He denies.
"I'm pissed about losing to a bunch of guys who used someone else's power to get good grades." Jack assures.
Soon the anemones starts to squelch from their heads.
"Now it's back to being pulled along by the anemones!" Deuce winces.
"Owowowow! Does he plan to make us work through lunch!?" Ace shrieks while wincing in pain.
"We're counting on you, Glory!" Grim shouts as they all scream while being dragged out of the cafeteria with anemones stretching from their heads.
"Wow...Those guys never change." Jack mutters.
"They sure don't..." Glory sighs shaking her head at them.
"Anyway, are we going to Mostro Lounge tonight?" Jack ask.
"I guess so. We better finished eating and prepare for tonight." Glory suggests.
"Fair enough." Jack nods as they both finished their meals head straight to their class where their visit to the Mostro Lounge begins.
