58 Chapter 58 - Annie Abandoned (2/2)

”It seems like you enjoy the statue.Some of the girls got the idea of creating a statue to liven up the place and the design became crazy before we realized it.”Gren was wiping his tears from his eyes and tried to stop laughing.

”It's not bad but this is definitely not how it happened and I didn't kill that many rats.It'll be awkward in the future if someone thinks I actually won that fight because of this statue.”Gren didn't want to explain it every time someone saw the statue so he thought about adding a plaque that explained that it was not historically accurate.

Jessica was in her smiley mode, something that Gren hadn't seen since she got the notice that the bakery was closed.”Well, you did cause them to be eradicated by Jasmine so technically you did kill them off.”Gren was reminded of his dream after Jasmine saved him from the rats.Rest in peace, rat warriors.

Jasmine walked down the new staircase and snuck up on Gren, hugging him from behind.”Good morning, Gren!”Gren was a bit startled until he realized who it was.Jessica was looking at Gren so she must have noticed Jasmine approaching him and decided not to say anything.Et tu, Jessica?

Estella wanted to join the hug but she touched her belly and decided that it would be best not to roughhouse with the two of them for now.”Okay, now that everyone is here can we start the meeting?”Jessica got everyone's attention by speaking loudly.

”What about the injured girls?”Gren recognized the woman that yelled from above.It was the magician that he bought from the slave company.”They're not here.”

Gren decided to answer first.”Let's bring them then.Jasmine, come and help me bring them downstairs.”Gren looked around for someone strong and saw Tahloh, the orc girl.”Tahloh, do you mind helping us?”

Tahloh was excited to see that Gren remembered her.”Yes!Absolutely!”She eagerly followed behind Gren as the three of them went upstairs.

Gren opened up the door to the room that Annie, Faith, and Yun have been staying in.It had been a while since he saw them because everything became busy.Annie was up and trying to walk around using a stick while Faith watched and Yun was ready to catch her if she fell.The sound of the door opening got their attention.

”Grenda?”Annie lost her balance at the sudden surprise and started to fall.Thankfully, Yun noticed in time and caught her so she didn't hurt herself.”You finally came.I thought you abandoned me.”

Annie's words gave Gren deja Vu.
