31 Under the Covers

Sliding the door open, Ellia looked left and right but saw nobody.

"Below you." Ruth voiced, causing Ellia to look downwards. On the ground, she saw a little robot on four wheels carrying a small boxed package.

"Delivery to Second lieutenant Arison." The little robot spoke before showing Ellia a little touch screen, "Your fingerprint, please."

"What's with this cute bot?" Ellia laughed while pressing her right thump on the touch screen. Then the little robot handed Ellia the boxed package then drove off.

"It's too tiny to be explosives..." Ellia mumbled while walking back into the kitchen.

"It isn't explosives..." Ruth said in a low tone.

"Of course, it's not." Ellia chuckled as she opened the package. Inside was a little disk.

"What's this?"

"It's our materials we ordered," Ruth answered.

"This little thing? And how did it even get here this quickly?" Ellia asked while examining the disk.

"It's an item teleporter. Just throw it on the ground."

Ellia was curious herself, so she tossed the disk on the wooden ground about two meters away.

The disk descended towards the ground, shaking vigorously while a red light came within the middle of it.

Then one by one, items started to pop from the disk.

A large pill-shaped canister with an orange glow, a radioactive proof case, Two giant crates that weighed one ton each, a clear glass jar that carried an unknown liquid metal, several sheets of black fabric that looked as if it was silk, and several unknown metal bars.

"Wow, I didn't think delivery would become something like this... how convenient!" Ellia shouted a remark.

"What's convenient... ugh." Alex walked out of the bathroom with a towel over his waist, and when he saw the huge mess in the living room and kitchen, he was at a sudden loss for words. Just what the hell happened in the span of five minutes?

"What the hell did you do?" Alex asked as he watched the robotic arms trying their best to belly dance.

"I programmed NUNYA into it," Ellia answered with a thin smile.

"NUNYA? I never hear-"

"Nun ya business."

"..."

"..."

"You know what? I'll leave for now." Alex sighed as he prepared to leave. "You coming back, right?"

"Yeah, I'll come back." Ellia nodded.

"Alright, just don't forget your promise," Alex mentioned before leaving through the front room.

"Promise...? Ah right... fuck." Ellia groaned, face-palming herself. That thing Alex mentioned was the last thing she wanted to do and maybe never.

She didn't want to think of it. She just looked back at the materials scattered across the wooden floor.

"The only thing that is unclear is U-235, so don't open the radioactive proof case," Ruth said. "Just unpack everything else, and you can leave the rest to me."

Nodding, Ellia quickly unpacked everything, and because of her strengths stats, it was relatively easy. Then quickly hopping into the shower, she quickly washed.

Double checking everything, Ellia left her private resting room and strolled to the elevator.

Holding her breath in the elevator, she prepared herself for the worst, but on the contrary, it wasn't as bad as before. A little dizziness was just about it.

Then walking through the hallways of Everwhite, she soon reached room 32.

Walking inside, Ellia made her way to her bed. The others were all in their respective beds.

"Why are you guys sleeping so early?" Ellia asked as she sat down on her mattress.

"We have training at five tomorrow. Of course, we're sleeping early." Owen sarcastically spoke. "And I have something to ask you, Second Lieutenant."

"What?"

"You still have that nightgown? I really wanted to see you in it." Owen mumbled with a slight drool coming down the end of his lips.

"...I threw that shit away," Ellia said with a little pause. "And if I hear you talking about it again, I will teach you a lesson."

"Yes, ma'am." Owen chuckled.

Ellia sighed. She looked down towards the ground. There she noticed two sleeping bags with May already cuddled up and sleeping.

Issac ordered another bunk bed, but it wasn't getting here till tomorrow, so they had to work with what they had, which was sleeping bags.

"Alright, people, light out!" Issac shouted before turning off the lights. Everyone then crawled under their blankets.

Ellia then took the chance to change into a new set of clothes she picked up in her private resting room. A white t-shirt and black sweats. Then laid back on her bed, eyes closed.

But then there was Alex, who fearlessly wondered under the covers of Ellia.

"Oi! What do you think you're doing?!" Ellia shouted a loud whisper.

"Promise is a promise," Alex whispered with a yawn, making himself comfortable in bed.

"Not today."

Alex ignored Ellia and then spoke. "Well, what are you going to do if someone were to find out?"

"If that were to happen, I would do in your face so hard even though god won't be able to recognize you," Ellia replied with a glare. But in the dark, Alex didn't notice Ellia's nasty look.

'This son of a bitch..' Ellia thought as a blood vessel bulged on her head.

"Just telling you, if you do something to me, remember that I'm the victim, and you're the oppressor," Ellia grumbled before turning the opposite way.

Going unnoticed by both Ellia and Alex, a set of blue eyes were furiously looking down on the two from above. Indeed it was Aerie who was staring with an abhorrent look.

She couldn't believe it. For someone she looked up to as her big sister was acting all lovely-Dovey with a man! Well, at least that was what it looked like to Aerie.

Her big sis was definitely being taken advantage of right now! There was just no way Aerie was going to accept such wretched things!
