Absolute Loyalty

Itami yawned, Ahh damn my back is in pain.. last 2 days sleeping on uneven floor, getting friendly with mosquitos and little black insect, who knows what it is called, his body ached almost everywhere. The injuries he got earlier didn't really heal in this short time, so the damn flies gathered around him like he was one big fat meal for them.

Normally mornings are where people are supposed to feel restored and refreshed right? Ahh damn, I really am starting to miss my old house and the huge bed. I feel like I am a corpse with all these bugs surrounding me...

He turned his head to the right side and saw Elea still sleeping while curled up on the bed, so he turned to his left and saw Jina sleeping there with her four limbs stretching to four different direction.

What am I to do with them? It is not like I need any maids or servants, also bringing them around everywhere I go is kind of troublesome... then there is money problem. Right I am kind of jobless now... Although I got hundred or so gold coins, I think it won't really last long... Oh right! I need to earn that bounty gold no matter what!

"Itami, Kael is waking up. "

"Kael? Why is he waking up now? Did you call him? "

"I have no idea... I didn't wake him! He probably wants to check how things going with Charlotte"

"Fine, But you must wake me up when the fight happens got it Cass!? "

"Ah! Sure, don't worry "

"Alright see you later then! "

"Morning Kael, Oh.. wow"

"Hello Cass, I wanted to transfer that, did you got it already? "

"Yeah. Unbelievable! wait... So are we going for it? "

"Personally I want to... It is chance to re live my cursed life and correct my mistakes but..."

"But if you correct them then it means Itami, Isano and me will not be there"

"Yes.. that is why, Cass, That is why I want to hear what you think about it! "

".... What I think about it huh, well I don't really care about it . Kael if you want to do it, just do it. Although we acknowledge each other as different existence on our own, in the end we are but one person. It doesn't matter to me who of us leads us to our death or who of us gets to live different life.

If one of us wants something from this life, I will help and that is all I want.

And I think Itami will be more than happy to participate in that survival game. Although he may curse god for a while he won't be able really keep himself out of such inteteresting battle."

"I am sorry Cass, but you know I just can't help to think 'What if I chose to do that instead of that', I just have too many things I regret so much. And I think that regrets are most painful wound one can sustain while one is alive. So maybe with this, just may be I can heal those wounds I have suffered! So I can't let this chance go"

"Well you don't really have to feel any guilt for it you know. If I am right we don't even have a choise... whether we decide to join the game or not, Game will continue... Decision is not up to us, it was already decided from the start."

"Still..."

"I said don't worry about it, So what are you going to do from now on? Are you going back to sleep or..."

"Nah, I will just let Itami do things. I guess he will complain endlessly if I were to do things on my own. Besides he seems to have two beautiful ladies to take care of. Haha that guy.. i thought he will never be able to get along with girls, but he got two now hahah"

"Yeah, Itami changed lot in last few days. I think it is from the moment he saw her. I don't really know what is special about her but old Itami would never get close to someone. But after saving her, he made that deal with her... It really surprised me. "

"Yes I can't really believe it too, maybe he has some kind of plan? You know how he likes to torture people "

"I don't think so.. it felt like even he doesn't know why he is acting like this... Well whatever.. we will know when the time comes. "

"Yeah well then I will go back to sleep, I will be back again if there is more quests from uhmm.. gods or that black robed guy. Just tell Itami do whatever he wants. It is not our world so I don't really care what happens to it."

"Okay. Oh right! So is it okay to not protect Charlotte here anymore then? "

"She is not her, but if possible... well never mind, just let Itami make the desicions. Itami is only one who can win this game, if even he cannot do it, then none of us can. "

"That is true, Itami can do anything if he puts his mind into it so don't worry about it."

"Ah! Later! "

After Kael gone, Cass sighed. "You may heal heal your old wounds but new one you made today will be most painful one... and you will realize it only after everything is over. It is just like Itami says.. gods are cruel"

"Moorning, What did Kael say? And did you just call my name? "

"No, nothing.. Here Kael wanted to tell us this"

"Wha... woa really? This is interesting.. I hate to say it but those bastards did manage to think something good.. So what Kael wants to do with it? "

"He wants you to participate in the game. And he said you can make all the decisions by yourself. And I agree to it too, besides we got no other choise but to win. Oh also it seems we no longer need to follow princess around"

"Is that so... "

"What? Why are you not happy to participate in this game? "

"Well it is very interesting game but... well never mind it is not like we got to choose, I will go all out for our Kael hahaha .

Prime minister we got to kill prime minister to get my blessing hahaha just you wait prime ministeeeeerrrrr"
