112 Temple Of Temur (1/2)
”Explain yourself!” Demands the guy I just fought, the guy that is not Jock.
”Sure, but first,” they look at me with caution-filled eyes wondering what I'd say, ”What's your name, the-guy-that-is-not-Jock-san?”
”Rome.” He answers with caution-filled-eyes that are also a bit condescending now.
”I see. So, Rome, I am what you call a hater of Dues ex machina. And I can bet that I hate her more than any of you.”
”Tsk! Bullshit!” Rome says with an annoyed expression, ”You are her errand boy!”
”I am not.” Seriously, I am not, and nothing vexes me more than being called that. ”I am, however, running her errands for a specific purpose.”
”Oh yeah, like what?”
”Thousands of people will suffer if I don't do as she says or fail at doing so.”
While the reason this all started with was different, the whole denying her action thing, it is a fact that everyone on Glice is now a hostage and a big reason why I am doing this.
”… How can I believe you?” Rome asks. A little less caution than before is present in his eyes, thankfully.
”I can't show you proof. But, it's the truth.” I say so with a smile, predicting accurately what he will say next.
”Then I can't trust-”
”SO, show me your proof that you are actually against Dues and are not testing me somehow.” I say, cutting him off and trying to make him realize how I feel on being called her 'errand boy'.
”…” He just looks at me with anger and frustration for a moment. In this moment, I take a glance at Jock, who is ready to attack me. Fighting both of them might bring trouble to me so I really hope Rome decides to stop being hostile to me.
”Die, you heretic!” Jock yells and starts charging towards me but,
”Stop, Jock!” Rome says what I wanted him to say. ”For the moment, we should stop being hostile to him.”
Jock looks back in doubt but Rome seems to have made his decision. Jock then backs away too and they both look at me from a distance of, like, 2 meters.
”We'll keep an eye on you.”
”We'll watch your every move.”
They say that in such sync as if they have practiced saying it, and then they disappear like some ninjas. People acting like ninjas, huh? That brings some rather unwanted memories.
