[DROP] ?Identity V? Imprisoned [ Hermit x Reader ]

[ Third Person POV ]

The new year is coming, and everyone is busy cleaning up to prepare for the Lunar New Year. The hunters were all busy cleaning their rooms.

Alva was complained by Keigan because his equipment took up too much space in the shared warehouse. He was forced to throw away some things. For Alva, all the things that Keigan considers trash are useful and will come in handy at some point, so he can't bear to throw them away. He just had to move some things back to the lab. Thanks to Percy's help, the transportation progressed very quickly.

Percy: Where should I put this ?

Percy said while holding a box of document.

Alva: Just place them under the big table.
Percy: Alright !

Percy hurried over. Suddenly, he tripped on the slippery floor and fell. A "bang" was heard as Percy's back hit the ground. When Alva ran over to check, Percy was in turtle pose, shivering with pain in his back.

Percy: My back...
Alva: What happen ? Are you okay ?
Percy: Yesn't.
Alva: You should rest, I'll take care of the rest.
Percy: Okay...

Alva carefully guided Percy to the sofa to rest. The pile of papers had fallen out of the box and splattered on the floor, so he had to quickly clean it up. While picking up a pile of papers, Alva happened to find a letter. The letter is still sealed, there is no trace of having been opened. He thought it was some letter he forgot to read. But then, he saw that the sender on the letter was Merlin, and the recipient's name was [Y/n]. Now he remembered why he had this letter. When this thing arrived, he received it on behalf of his wife, but then forgot to give it to her. He must have accidentally dropped it in the file bin. A letter from the person his wife loves to his wife. Alva was extremely curious about the contents of the letter. He was about to open it, but suddenly the image of [Y/n] looking at him with hateful eyes popped into his mind. He suddenly felt guilty. After thinking for a while, he let out a long sigh.

Alva: I should respect her privacy.

A few weeks later, the New Year's celebration was held in China Town. Survivors and hunters gathered before midnight to celebrate the new year together. The girls all put on their best clothes, gorgeous makeup, hand in hand with their friends to the party. Except for Melly and [Y/n]. Those two's faces are always covered, so they don't have to wear makeup.

Fiona: Martha ! You're breathtaking, girl !
Martha: Thank you ! I saved it for this event. You look gorgeous, Fiona. That dress is killin' it.
Fiona: I really like the color of this dress.
Tracy: This is slayyyy !
Murro: Ugh, I'm getting old...
Naib: Yeah, and so is your pig. So before he gets too old, we should...

As soon as the boar sensed Naib's killing intent, the pig immediately ran away.

Murro: My friend !?!? What's wrong !?!?
Naib: HEY, STOP ! YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE !

William and Ganji watched Murro and Naib chasing after the boar from afar

Ganji: What are those two idiots doing ?
William: Hmmm....

Not long after, the rest of the hunter side had arrived. When Alva arrived, he looked around for [Y/n] first. When he saw her standing with the other girls, she was also looking at him, but then she immediately looked away as soon as their eyes met. He just sighed. He already expected this reaction, but seeing it now still feels sad.

Wujiu: Still no good progress ?

Wujiu put his arm around Alva's shoulder, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
