Chapter 45: FAIR

"Carnival"

Grimm looked straight at Father Clemen as he drove. They are going home and it will take him to their house.

"Why are you looking at me like that? If you want to ask something, can Grimm... Just ask, rather than you look at me like that?"Clemen said.

"I'm sorry. I just can't help but look at you. I just can’t believe that woman is your ex-girlfriend. She looks like a model."

Clemen smiled mischievously.

"What do you think of me, no taste?"

"If you don't feel bad, can you talk about what happened to you? Past is past isn't it?"

Clemen simply looked at Grimm.

"Okay, fine. Her name is Janna. She became my girlfriend when I was in third year high school. We were happy before that tragedy happened to my friends. I went to exorcist school and there I decided to become a priest. I left her before I finally entered the priesthood. Then, all of a sudden, I heard that she was also an exorcist."

"Well, she easily accepted the breakup with you?"

Clemen frowned and scratched his nose.

"What easy?! I taste a very strong punch in the face! My molar was removed because of that blow. She added, she can not forgive me. That's why, she just wanted to kill me literally with her sharp gaze. I do not want to hurt her feelings. It just so happened that I was in it for the line I chose."

Grimm sighed.

"Unusual!" he just said.

When they arrived at their house, her Grandma Epang greeted them. It was there that Clemen ate dinner.

The next day Grimm, Rusty, Mikee, Rey, Rodel, Salv and Ricky walk happily. They were all going to the fair that afternoon.

"Oh my, I thought there was no end to your Dad's wills for you, Grimm." Rey said suddenly.

"Yes, of course. It was really good and we thought of including Rusty. If she happened to be gone, his Dad would not have allowed Grimm." Rodel added.

"Tsk, tsk... You've stopped gossiping about me. The surface of my nose is itching. It would be nice if I couldn't hear you. As long as Dad clearly tells us that when something goes wrong, we just stay away." Grimm said to his friends.

They laughed. Rey stubbornly saluted Grimm.

"Just what you want, that's what will follow!" its language is still smiling.

Grimm just smiled at his friend. He knew it meant something else. He turned to Rusty who had been quiet and smiling while listening to their conversations. She was obviously deeply affected by what she learned about his older brother Gaunt and Kristine. She did not even reveal it, but even he, was affected. He thought of a topic... He remembered Father Clemen's beautiful and sexy Ex-girlfriend. Until now he could not get over that windy revelation.

"Ahm, Rusty... Do you know your uncle's ex-girlfriend?" Grimm suddenly asked.

"EX-GIRLFRIEND?!" exclaimed his friends.

Rusty smiled.

"Sure. I know Aunt Janna. Even though uncle Clemen and her have not been together for a long time, she still visits me at home when she has time. I was only three years old when they separated. It's a pity they eh. Perfect match." Rusty added.

Grimm was stunned by what he heard and looked at his Kuwarog boys with Mikee. Even they are distracted by what is heard.

"Y-You mean... That strange priest also became a normal teenager?" Rodel's uncontrollable language.

"Of course." Rusty replied.

"Guys, you will be even more surprised when you see his ex-girlfriend. Serious, she is beautiful and sexy. She looks like a model. I really can't believe that weird priest even broke up. His hair is too long, you know that? I saw his Ex-girlfriend when I last accompanied him. Do you remember, when he picked me up in front of the school?" Grimm retorted.

(When it said you have a long hair, it means your attractive. Or you manage to attract extraordinary people...)

"Awesome!" Salv exclaimed.

They all laughed and just kept walking towards the fair. a few moments later they reached there. There are a lot of people out there playing and there are also a lot of vendors around. They were excited to go there and set out on their play trip. At the running light Rusty went with Grimm and Mikee. Others, went to other places to bet and play. Rusty has won at the running light several times and has gotten a lot of snacks and beverages. The owner of the running light booth is scratching his head. Mikee and Grimm lost steadily. They have not gotten even one.

(Running light game- there’s a chain of bulbs with correspondent number and you are going to put your bet on it. Once the staff rotated the wheel, the bulbs will rotationally light and when it stop, and the bulb you bet was the one who has the light, you win. The prices are snacks, beverages, plates, and glasses.)

"Let's move, Rusty. We've lost before." Grimm scratch his head.

Rusty smiled at Grimm and Mikee. They are obviously annoyed because they have not won anything yet. She walked over to them and the two looked at her puzzled.

"You should bet on what I bet. I forgot to tell you that I have a luck in gambling. Just don't make a fuss ah? This is just for us. We will play black-out bingo later. Get ready because I will take the prize. My palms are in a good mood because they are itching. Just never ask me for balato(tip) while I play, my luck will lose its validity and I will loose." Rusty whispered to the two.

"Ah..." the two young men reacted at the same time.

After that, they bet on Rusty's estimated lights and they won. When they got bored they moved to another place. On the card drop ball game where the bet becomes triple. Salv and Rey were there.

"How are you?" Grimm asked the friends.

"Just recover." Rey replied.

Rusty got up and smiled at her friends. They are busy chatting.

"This post will close later!" she smiled.

That's why the speed her Daddy allowed her to go with her friends because he knew about her gambling luck. It even instructed her to take home a lot that she would do. She bet Jack of hearts. She look at her friends and...

"Guys, you bet here too." she commanded.

Grimm and Mikee also put money. Salv and Rey just followed. Grimm was given the ball and he was the one who shot it. When the ball fell it rolled around and rolled towards Jack of Hearts.

"Yes!" Rey's happy language.

They all won one after another because all the cards Rusty bet, they also bet. That booth closed early. Ricky and Rodel also won on lucky colors game. That's why, they saw the two sitting on the side and eating balut. They approached them.

"How are you?" Salv whispered to the two.

"Okay! We won the lucky colors. We were lucky so we decided to stop. We will not let them recover. It's a pity we earned it." Ricky replied.

"Let's eat balut too. I'll treat you all. Just join me to play later in the black-out bingo ah? I already bought cards for all of us. As long as whoever gets us a 3K worth of grocery, we will share it equally." Rusty said with a smile.

"All right. Looks like you became luckier with us ah?" comment by Rey.

They all just smiled here. Grimm was the one Rusty ordered to buy balut. They all ate.

Meanwhile... Vassago is depressed. He will never forget what happened to him when he fought Grimm. He grabbed his shoulder. He had a large scar there because of Belphegor's fire. It unleashed unparalleled power just to melt Grimm's ice. He had an idea.

"I will send you a greeting Grimm so you know that I do not forget what you did to me..." he said.

After that, he called his staff and he ordered something here. It left immediately after he said everything he wanted. Grimm will surely get his message, a challenge.

Grimm had just finished eating balut when they overheard a man fighting with a drunkard.

"I guess you're cheating on me!" male language.

It was obviously a bit drunk.

"Sir... Really like that, there are losers, there are winners. Not all the time, you have the luck in gambling." The man explained calmly.

The drunkard violently grabbed the collar of the man's dress.

"Hoy, Grimm! Stop it! The Bingo can’t go on if you wouldn’t stop them!" Rusty's confused language.

Grimm stood up and stretched. He looked at his friends.

"You heard Rusty, didn't you? I think I should stop them..." he said.

Rodel grinned foolishly.

"We saw nothing. Nothing happened." its language.

Mikee nodded at him as well. He walked closer to those two. He violently pulled the drunken man away from there.

"Stop that! Just go home because you're so drunk." he said calmly.

The drunk turned to him.

"You bastard kid!"

It hit him with a punch but because it was swaying he simply tilted to avoid its attack. He then punched it in the side. The man lay down and was in great pain. He bent down and violently grabbed his clothes.

"It's your fault, you can't be asked! You're an old man but you never learned! If you drink alcohol, make sure you put it in your stomach and don't let it go up in your brain!" he said loudly.

"Awww!"

The man looked at Grimm's face puzzled and was very frightened when he saw the light in the young man's red eyes. Grimm walked away from it and stood up in a daze.

"M-Monster! Impact!" at the same time running fast.

Grimm folded his arms.

"I'm a demon, crazy." his language was weak.

He turned to the other man.

"Are you all right?"

"Yes. Thank you, child. How can I get you back?"

Grimm smiled proudly at it.

"It’s nothing. It's really like that, I'm kind and help comes from within me."

Mikee smirked and simply rubbed his forehead.

"I wish you were nice if you weren't just a little arrogant." he commented.

Rusty laughed at the comment she heard. They approached Grimm.

"What's better, Manong... Let's start Black-out Bingo!" suggestion by Rusty.

(Manong means Kuya-big brother.)

"All right, if that's what you want!"

Bingo has already started and it have five rounds because there are consolation prices... And as expected, Rusty won the grand prize. 3K worth of groceries. Before they went home they divided it up.

"Daddy will definitely enjoy it." Rusty smiled.

"Yes. He will be happy. Thank you ah, you shared us." the language is Rey.

"It's okay. Share your blessings, isn't it? We all just keep secrets about my virtue ah? When there are such things, just invite me and bet on my bets. Sureness is the winner." Rusty smiled.

"All right. Can we have the Casino next?" Ricky joked.

Everyone laughed.

"Tsk, we can't go there yet. We are still minors." Rusty replied.

"In that case, do you plan to play in the casino?" asked by Grimm.

"Of course. Someday when I'm of legal age. It's a waste of my virtue."

They continued talking while walking. They were suddenly stopped when they heard a strange noise.
