Signum was perplexed, which was weird as she had always that serious expression, by the strange behavior that her friends were showing.
It was surely not strange that Nanoha and Fate were together in the cafeteria, what was strange about it were the screams of frustration that came from the brunette and the giggles that the blonde let out.
“Why is this so hard?” Nanoha was typing something in her M2D. By the sound coming from the device, it seemed like it was a game of sorts.
“There, there Nanoha-chan,” Fate patted the brunette´s head. “You can do it, you just have to focus more.”
“Its easy for you to say Fate-chan, you haven’t tried.”
Fate laughed softly, and stroked Nanoha hair “Is because watching Nanoha is fun enough.”
Nanoha smiled… before getting frustrated once again at the screen. “Mou, this is hard.”
Signum decided to take her leave, as curiosity was getting to her and, although she was not a cat, she might get killed. As she walked through the aisles, she saw the members of the forwards doing the same thing that Nanoha, typing in their monitors and a strange music playing through Subaru´s one, as she was the only one who lacked headphones.
“Haha, this is really hard.” Subaru said merrily. Out of the fours she was the only one who seemed to be enjoying fully whatever they were doing.
“Shut up Subaru, this is not fun.” Teana was mad, almost furious at the impossibility that was… whatever she was doing.
“Mou this is hard, I can´t pass the apples.” Caro complained. She was the one that was suffering the most as her lack of experience in that kind of things was making her fail most of the time.
“You only have to jump before the apple comes down, or goes up. Is very easy once you get the hang out of it.” Erio said as he got back to avoid spikes. He was the most experienced of the quartet in whatever they were doing, though Signum had already an idea about what they were doing.
She decided to continue her way passing in front of the forwards. None of them noticed her as she passed, which she didn’t mind as she knew that they were enjoying themselves or at least trying to.
Continuing on her way, she heard something not abnormal from Vita.
“Why does this key doesn’t work, damn it”
Cursing at the wind was something she did when something wasn’t as she planned, when she was frustrating, when she was beaten at mock battles, etc. But this time it was weirder than before as she was staring at her monitor, exactly the same that Nanoha and the forwards had been doing the whole day. The fact that instead of beaten new students to a pulp, she was actually doing something that used her monitor, that wasn’t considered paperwork of course, was something strange by itself, but from her to be mad at it, was something so ridiculous, that she couldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t seen it.
Again being wise, she decided to leave and not ask about what was happening. Arriving to their apartment, she could hear yells of frustration coming from her mistress. Deciding to investigate on her, she saw that Hayate had her monitor activated and apparently was doing the same that seemingly everyone of the base were doing. Finally giving in to her curiosity she asked.
“What are you doing Mistress?”
“Oh hi Signum,” the brunette raised her head just a little, and returned to stare
at her screen. “I am playing a new game… well not new but recently discovered. It´s really hard but is also funny.”
Something inside her told her that she was better without knowing, that she will regret asking. But she couldn’t contain it anymore. “What are you playing Mistress?”
“Its called “I Wanna Be The Guy” want to try?” The contract to her perdition was already signed… but that’s for another time.
