"And what is that?"
"I hope you know you weren't being sneaky… I didn't sense you at all, but I could imdiately assu you were spying on … Aisa." I turned around, seeing the beautiful, evolved woman whose horns had stretched past double my own horns' height.
"I wasn't inford of such a secret mission… did sothing happen while we were away?"
"You could say Orion's keeper was getting impatient and was getting angry that his pet had left. Even though he approved of the mission… kind of."
"Oh, so you're tasked with bringing him back, correct?" Aisa asked, but before I could respond, she quickly cut off. "But what ties do you have that allow him to threaten you like that? Are you dating sobody there?"
"No, but he's holding Orion captive. He could easily kill him right now, especially in such a weakened state. He sees him as a potential threat that could be plotting against him with Leviathan."
"He's just paranoid."
"No, he's being safe. I understand where he's coming from, but we also have no choice. That man does joke around when it cos to his servants… and I don't want to see Orion's brain just yet."
"*sigh*... God dammit… Okay, fine. But what about the others? Are they going to bring them back as well, or are they going to stay because I don't feel like taking care of them?"
"They're fine now," I smiled, brushing Orion's hair to the side, revealing his pale complexion. "You just need to worry about the relationship between Cy and Bella. They're on good terms, but they fight way too often like children… geez, what are they now? After Beelzebub's ti dilation, you would have thought they matured by now… I an, we're no longer kids."
…
(Bella POV)
"... you would have thought they matured… I an, we're no longer kids."
After hearing Luna say that I turned to Cy. My eyes drifted downwards, and as I lightly kicked the ground aimlessly, I heard the boy in front of sigh. We didn't really say anything as we backed away from the room, just staring at the ground, walking side by side.
"Why are you both so down?" A dark elf appeared in front of us, watching our guilty eyes graze the ground. We were a burden. Not only were we especially weak now compared to everything that could happen in the future, but we were a burden on everybody else around us. We were just baggage that they had to deal with.
"Findir, do you think we're annoying?"
"Yes."
"Well, that settles it."
"I'm sure you heard Luna. She won't be here anymore, and none of us care enough to break your fights up. So, what are you going to do? Keep acting like children, or let yourself mature? Hm?" Findir asked, his words truly setting everything in stone.
We just stood there, looking at the ground. And it seed my friend had co to a conclusion before as he let out a long sigh and then began to give his speech.
"I'm going to take a break from everything and just train. I'm going to return to Beelzebub so he can train and hopefully provide with the materials necessary to evolve. Unlike the asshole Satan, he should actually be able to assist in growing my strength."
"But what about here? Can't you just train here with Leviathan? I'm sure he could give you so tips and advice. Plus, both Aisa and Orion evolved here, so I can only assu we can find our necessary materials here as well…."
"He won't help you," Another voice interrupted our conversation, and upon turning around, we t eyes with Luna and Aisa. "He didn't provide with anything. In fact, the only person who has t him is Orion. I have barely spoken with him and haven't even physically interacted with him at all."
"Then I'll just go with Beelzebub…" Cy soon made up his mind, and as he saw my indecisive expression, he let out a long sigh. "Y'know… you can co with if you want. I doubt that pretty bastard is going to welco you back into his ho."
"Can I really?"
"Sure, if you want. As long as he doesn't kick you out, you should be fine," Cy shrugged as the rest of my friends smiled. "But what about you, Findir?"
"I think I'll visit my demon lord's territory for the first ti. Mammon's territory… it should be interesting."
As everybody nodded, we heard a clattering from Orion's room. A tense aura soon emitted from the doorway, and without a second hesitation, a pale foot stomped into the hallway.
"Hufff… huff… huff… You better not fucking die… all of you. If you do, I'm gonna kill you all… got it?"
We all smiled as Orion clung onto the door fra, sweat dripping from every orifice of his body. He looked like he was about to drop dead at any mont, yet he still clung onto life. His smile was wide, exhausted, but still confident.
"All of you better be strong as well. If you aren't as strong as by the ti we et up again, I'm cutting you off."
"You don't get to tell what to do."
"Sounds like a good challenge."
"Yeah, like cutting off will do anything. I couldn't care less."
"Don't think our lives revolve around you, you selfish bastard."
"Feel better," Luna smiled, slinging the young man's arm over her shoulder and then helping him down the hallway. His sanity looked as if it was slipping once again, so he closed his eyes and instantly entered a state of ditation. It was an entrance so fast that he nearly collapsed onto the ground, body limp, while converting all of that physical energy into ntal resilience.
"Alright, everybody, listen up!" Aisa shouted, gathering all attention to her. "From what my Master has predicted, a war across all of hell will break out, starting with the border between Leviathan's territory and Satan's territory. This is predicted to happen within fifty to a hundred years from now. So, we will et up again in fifty years… DEAL!?"
Everybody but the collapsed Orion nodded with a large smile.
