"Are you insane?!" Shinya yelled, trying to talk sense into Sato, "It's like you think so kind of miracle is going to happen, you're at war with Fiona and for so reason, you keep thinking taking on Warthniq is a good idea!".
"Oi! Himiko, tell him, I don't think he understands how powerful the kingdom is!" Shinya continued.
Himiko's eyes were focused on the ground, she slowly looked up at Sato and noticed that he was walking back to his table. Just then, a question dropped from her mouth, "Do you want to keep this forest that much?".
"If that's it, I can even arrange sothing, all the king wants is rights to this land, he wants nothing to do with the people inside, you guys can still continue your lifestyle"Shinya tried his best at negotiating.
Sato sat down on his chair, resting his hand under his jaw, "I appreciate your concern here, but my mind has been made up." He said with a calm tone, "Go back to Warthniq and inform the king… I won't be backing down".
"Really now…" Shinya muttered, a look of annoyance on his face, "And here I thought we could be friends… bumr." Shinya grabbed his sword and walked out the door.
Once Shinya left, Sato leaned back on his chair with a sigh, "That was so exhausting." He muttered.
Yuri, who was beside him, smiled, "Are you sure going to war with Warthniq is a good idea?" She asked.
"Definitely not." Sato answered back, looking at the ceiling, "But I had to do that… it was either they take the forest or we go to war… negotiation wasn't in the picture".
Himiko stood up from where she was sitting and stord over to Sato before slamming her hand on the table as she spoke out, "Let help you!".
"Uhn?" Both Sato and Yuri looked at her with puzzled looks on their faces.
"I can help talk the king out of starting a war with you." Himiko hinted, determination oozing from her body, "Although I was summoned by another summoning stone, I still fought for the Warthniq kingdom and was able to retain high status with them".
"So you're saying you can change the mind of the king?" Sato confird, and Himiko replied with confidence, "Yes!".
With a smile, Sato stood up from his chair and stretched out his hand for a handshake, "Your help is appreciated".
Himiko smiled before shaking Sato back, "Just don't do anything reckless, okay? I'll be back before you know it".
And with that, Himiko and the sword hero left the village and headed back to their kingdom to inform the king about Sato's response.
….
Night had fallen, and Sato lay on his bed, dressed in brown trousers with no shirt. He gazed at the ceiling, his hand stretched out, and muttered to himself, "How many days remaining?"
The response was imdiate."
."
Sato furrowed his brow, deep in thought. "And what about the body double?" he asked.
"," ca the reply.
"Perfect," Sato said, a smile playing at the corners of his lips."
