Five Little Sacrifices

Chapter 92

"Only one of them is a guild house only meant for our guild members", Eve said.

"That location is only known by the members of Blue Pegasus, so there is no use prying where you might be able to find it", Ren said.

"I'm not that interested..." Roscoe muttered. "Do you guys know it then?" he asked looking at Laxus and others.

"We might", Freed smiled mysteriously. "But since we respect our former guild members, we wouldn't tell you since you were never part of Blue Pegasus."

"Yeah, you never tell secrets of your guild no matter what, baby", Bickslow smirked. "Even if you're not part of it anymore."

"I can understand that", Roscoe nodded approvingly.

"Are we gonna eat? I'm hungry", Chester said.

"You'll get food right away, there is no need to worry at all", Hibiki promised.

On the other floor they stepped in an elevator which was clearly meant for only guild members and those who had a permission to step in the area meant only for Blue Pegasus members. The elevator took them up, all the way to the top floor and once they stepped out it felt like they stepped in some sort of five star restaurant.

"It's feels so nice to be back", Evergreen chuckled.

"Wow!" Felix gasped as he, Theophilius and Chester ran to the huge window. They had a beautiful view over the city from here.

Hibiki, Ren and Eve lead them to one of the tables and they sat down.

"You don't need to go through all this trouble", Freed assured.

"Nonsense, right now you are our guests", Hibiki assured with a small bow. "Master Bob instructed us to take good care of you while you're here, partly as an apology because he couldn't be here himself greeting you."

"Partly?" Laxus frowned.

"He didn't really explain it more."

"How mysterious", Bickslow snickered as waitresses came over to bring them food and drinks.

"You'll be joining us after the meal, Evergreen?" Ren asked and Ever smiled.

"I think I will", she nodded. "I'd love to dance again."

"Then that is what we will do."

"I'll come too", Bickslow grinned while munching his food. "I wanna say hi to others."

"What are you going to do?" Felix asked curiously.

"I think we could play some cards with the old crew."

"I can play cards if you tell me the numbers on them."

"You're going to bed", Freed said amused. "It's too late already for you to be awake."

"But Bickslow said all the fun stuff happens when it's nighttime..." Felix whined disappointed.

"And how thankful we are for that", the rune mage said looking at Bickslow who smirked.

"You can't say I'm completely wrong, baby", he said with a shameless wink which made Felix, Chester and Theophilius confused, while others laughed.

"It might be fun to play some cards again", Laxus hummed.

It had been a surprise to them to learn how in Blue Pegasus almost everyone in the guild was a pretty good card player. Playing cards was one way to entertain their guests after all, not just dancing, drinking, talking and listening to them. Since Laxus had never been a romantic nor was he very considerate even if trying, playing cards with customers had been his best move. He had become quite good at it during the year they lived here.
