We decided to have a drink together at the nearest cafe in the Zoo. The weather is quite nice. We sit at the round table and Alucard also here. I don't know where he was before. I'm too lazy to ask him.

Irithel need more time. She didn't move on at all. I look at her with a concern look. She just play with her drink and look at it. Dexter just sit at her shoulder.

Alucard just keep quiet while play with Leo.

I try to focus on Irithel. She looks sorrowful and depressed. I take a deep breath and start to talk to her.

"Irithel, you can talk to me if you want. It can help you to calm yourself. Besides, I can feel you than the others" I said and look at her. She still playing with he drink. She take a deep breath.

Suddenly Alucard stand up and hold Leo.

"I'm gonna take a walk with Leo. Have a good talk" He said and walk away with Leo.Judge by his reaction, I think he already knew what we're going to talk. Obviously, he knew about Claude's murder case.

"First, I'm sorry Ruby. I didn't meant to talk to you like that before. I'm so sorry" She said and keep looking at the her drink. I hold myself from giggling.

So this is human? Huh, all of them are just the same.

"Hey Irithel, It's okay. I'm okay with that. So please, stop apologizing" I said and smile to her. I put my hand at her chin and slowly lift her head.

"You can share with me if you want. I'm here for you" I said and smile to her. I sit properly and look at her stright. She's quiet for a while and after some moments, she take a deep breath and start to talk.

"Like I said earlier, I found him dead at the school. We plan to deliver some show to the zoo that day and then everything end up just like that. I can't stop thinking about it every single day. It keep haunting me" She said and lean on the chair.

She slowly take off the monkey badge from her uniform. She put it on the table and we look at each other.

"We have our couple badge. The monkey is Dexter. And you know, Dexter is actually his pet" She said. Dexter hugs Irithel and there's actually a single tears left from his eyes.

So animal do have feelings? Interesting.

"I want you to keep it for me. It's precious for me. I think I can't move on because of this. So please, take a good care of it." She said. I nod slowly and take the badge.

"I'll take a good care of it. Don't worry! You can count on me!" I said. She show a small smile towards me. How fast people put their trust on me. I should be grateful with my petite body and my innocent face. It helps a lot.

"Also, You need to be careful when you study there. You can't trust people easily. We don't know their true self" She said. I just nod and thanks her.

"Also, I don't have a good feeling about Aluc--"

She didn't manage to end her talk when someone interrupt

"Are you two done talking? I think I need to go home because there are emergency" Alucard said suddenly while Leo is right beside him. Irithel suddenly panicked and manage to calm herself down.

I'm sure, there are something about Alucard.

I turn my head to Alucard and nod.

"Yeah, we're done. You said you have emergency right? It's better to leave now" I said and stand up.

"Yeah, it's really emergency" He said and hand Leo to Irithel. Before I left I give a hug at Irithel, Dexter and Leo. Leo lick me again before I left.

"Leo likes both of you alot. He never lick me like that before. I'm wonder whats make he lick you two like that" she said and pat Leo's head.

If she ask me, I also don't know about that. I'm not familiar with animal like her.

"Maybe he like the smell of blood" Alucard said. My head automatically look at him. Does he know about me?

"Let's go home, goodbye Irithel" He said and pull my hand.
