“Well miss, actually we’re not really brothers… but we could be considered brothers. And, about how we are so ugly… well, you have to ask our creator that question, not me!” The Security ugly responded, however, by the end of his sentence, his voice sounded almost frustrated.
“Uh… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude… of course it’s God’s fault for you guys to be like this… uhh, actually you guys don’t look so bad… I was just curious why everyone Ai hired looks on the under the average level side.” With a shaky tone, trying her best to fix the situation after sensing the Security ugly’s frustration, Ella articulated.
With imaginary tears of self-pity appearing on his face, the Security ugly thought, ‘Under the average level? Why do I feel even worse now?’ Then his thought continued, ‘And no! It’s not God’s fault! As I said, it’s your boyfriend’s fault!’
Afterward, looking at the rear-view mirror, quickly coming up with something random which was half-true and half-false, he explained while wearing a fake calm expression, “Well… actually… all four of us were born in the same place… so we used to hang out together from the moment of our birth and all of us were always very strong. So, Mr. Chairman found all four of us strong… so that must be why he decided to hire all four of us…”
“Hmm, I see… wait, WHAT??! There is four of you? Not three?” Shocked, Ella questioned.
“Yes… there is four of ‘us’ under the average level looking guys!” With an emphasis on the ‘Under the average looking guys’ part, the Security ugly stated.
Listening to him emphasize that specific part though, Ella knew she was being rude once again as she apologized repetitively, “Ah… I’m so sorry… really sorry… I truly didn’t mean to be rude…”
Seeing her lose herself in nervousness as she continuously apologized, with an amused chuckle, the Security ugly replied, “Haha, I was just messing with you miss, it’s okay actually. We’ve long gotten used to it by now.”
‘Why does that sound even sadder to me?’ Ella thought, hearing the Security ugly’s reply.
“Anyway, why haven’t I ever seen the other one of you guys…?” She asked further.
“Well… the other ugly has a very special duty which requires him to stay out of the country all the times… that’s why.” After saying this, the Security ugly continued, “Actually… I was also required to stay out of the country in order to protect something very important just until recently… however, since the chairman was going to leave for a while… as he was really worried about you, miss… he gave me a new task… which was to protect you!”
Listening to his elaboration, Ella was truly impressed as pronounced elatedly, “Really?” At the same time, she thought to herself while pouting, ‘So that rascal’s still worried about me even though he’s left for so long without even a single call… hmph!’
“Of course!”

Soon, their car finally stopped in front of a former church which was currently known as the Avalon Nightclub, “Miss, let’s sit inside the car until all of your friends arrive, I’ll also call to check where they are.”
“Oh, okay, sure!” Looking out of the window, Ella agreed, however, soon, she became shocked seeing the view outside.
Because currently, right in front of her, there was a very long line of people wanting to enter the nightclub!
“It’s the end of the world but there are even more people coming to the nightclubs now?” In her surprised state, she muttered unconsciously in a rather low voice.
However, not missing the question with his strong sense of hearing, the Security ugly replied, “Of course! Isn’t that obvious? Now that the world’s ending… of course there will be even more people coming to the nightclub to have fun… the world’s ending to them… so they would absolutely want as much fun as they possibly can! And one of the best places to have that kind of fun is the nightclub! Don’t you agree, miss?”
“Hmm… but it’s really dangerous right now you know? Aren’t they afraid?” She asked with a worried expression appearing on her face.
‘If it’s dangerous… why did you have to come?’ The Security ugly thought, however, since he knew the only reason she dared to come was because of his protection, he replied, “Well, the world is freaking ending, so who would care about a little bit of danger? Most of them must be thinking along the lines of ‘The world’s ending anyway, let’s have as much fun as we can’ or ‘The world’s ending in a year anyway, so what does it matter if I die a little bit sooner?’… do you understand now miss?”
“I see… that’s actually kinda terrifying… talking about the end of the world… I didn’t have the opportunity to ask you guys this before… but, since Ai seems to already have the cure to the so-called mutated HIV… why isn’t he releasing it to the world? What’s going on?” As she was suddenly reminded of something else which had popped into her head a while back, together with a small frown appearing on her face, she asked.
“Well… it’s not that we’re going to keep that to ourselves… in fact… the reason as to why the Legal ugly had to go just now was in order to… help the CEO ugly negotiate with the country regarding the cure!” Replied the Security ugly.
Listening to this, a very bright smile showed itself on Ella’s face as she proclaimed, “Oh, so that was the urgent matter… ah, actually, I can’t believe my boyfriend is such a remarkable person… I mean… he’s even going to save the whole world. How amazing is that?” By the end of her words, she felt a lot of sweetness inside herself while thinking about Virus as she leaned her head to the glass of the window of the car.
‘I wonder if you would still continue thinking like that if you realized he was the one to create and then release the mutated HIV in the first place…’ He couldn’t help but muse to himself before responding, “Yeah… Mr. Chairman is a true hero.”
“Oh… that makes another question come into my mind… if you’re going to reveal cure to the rest of the world? Why can’t I just tell about the lollipops to my friends?” Confused, Ella inquired.
With some deliberation, he began explaining, “This… hmm… well… it’s still unclear if the CEO ugly would come to an agreement with the country… and even if he does, producing the cure in big amounts should take a while, so it’s better to be safe than sorry by just not telling them… since otherwise, it might attract some unwanted dangers to them.”
It was at this moment when the Security ugly’s phone began ringing…

“Elleee (Ellaaa)…” Seeing their friend after so many days of separation, the four yelled her name almost at the same time.
“Uwuuu, Graceee, Jesss, Faiithhh, Mawyyyyy!!!!” Yelling their names, Ella ran towards her four BFFs while screaming as she straightly hugged all four of them together in her arms as she and the rest of her friends began to cry in each other’s embrace while they seemed to be whispering some words of comfort into each other’s ears.
