*slash* *twirl* *pierce*
Testing out the new weapon gramps lend to me, we borrowed an empty open room since the training room is still under repair. Well, unlike what he said this spear is quite light but...
*Swish* *Vwwoom* *SMACK*
Using a series of footwork and technique I manage to knock a wooden doll down with wind pressure alone.
(The output it deals is very heavy indeed).
"Phew! Now that I think about it, it's been a while since I train alone like this."
I retract the spear and place it on the back strap the gramps gave me...
(It's still a bit uncomfortable, when I asked him about some magnet strap where I can just attach the spear they all look at me like I'm crazy and what kind of literature am I reading but also praise me again for a good idea... I think I now know how I look like when I don't know about stuff. Sheesh, what's this feeling?
Anyways! In the end of the day, this spear is a decoration since I use something else as a weapon).
"Okay, I'm done. This weapon is pretty good."
(Plus ever since it sealed itself the old man told me later that it became duller but that's fine. I can use it when I want to subdue someone).
*Gulp*
"All right! Now with the tour of the guild shop's done! It's time we gather the stuff you need for the promotion quest tommorow!"
Yoo-Ah shouts as she stand up. Both Juha and Yoo-Ah who's relaxing and having the cookies I made at the edge finish their meal and walk close. Seeing them getting along together brings another peace to my heart. Juha sighs as she cleans up the remaining crumbs and walk to us asking:
"Wait, promotion quest? I'm pretty sure you've just joined a few days ago?"
"Hum! Hum! That's right! Sova here is someone special and got recommended by Jin-Yeon for it too! Be amazed!"
"Why are you the one getting excited? Still, seeing how you manage to repel and escaped those notorious bandit duo I'm not really surprised. And the footwork and spear technique you shown are pretty exemplary for someone with no qi. Are you perhaps one of those... Physical Cultivators?"
Juha looks at me with contemplation as she rubs her chin when she says that. But I quickly reply saying:
"Physical? I don't know what that is, but thanks! So when will we be going?"
"Now!"
"N-Now? But don't we need to tell gramps about-"
"Nah! I'm sure he can get the message! Let's go! We dawdle enough inside here already!"
*************************************
*Psssh*
After passing through with Juha's help, it seems as pong as she's with us we can just use whatever facility in this city even when we don't show our ID's. Seeing the doors closed behind us we take our seats when we spotted Colonel Angae resting with his arms spread beside him with Ri-Mi alongside him as well. Juha quickly salutes shouting:
"Colone Angae Song-Iseon, Good Afternoon Sir!"
His presence this time seems pretty heavy as I see Ri-Mi frozen on her seat. He gesture us to stop, replying:
"What a coincidence, so you're using the military trains huh?"
"I-If you're so busy we can use the civilian-"
"No, just quickly take a seat already!"
"A-As you wish sir..."
Juha follows along and sit across him while I take a seat beside her and Yoo-Ah hides behind me glaring at him before sitting beside me. Hearing the lady in the box speaks and feeling the train shakes, I look outside to see the hail of snow dropping over the window and the winter-covered city.
"If I may ask, where are you going sir?"
Juha asks a bit hesitant when the Colonel lays his head back replying:
"Just cleaning up some mess in this city. And some foreign intervention..."
His eyes locks to me as he says that with his head still laid back.
"I-I see!"
The Colonel returns posture and return his hand forward as well to look at me asking:
"So, how is your life these last few days? Are you enjoying the city?"
I nod quickly replying:
"Y-Yes! And the guild is a pretty nice place too!"
"I see... Haah... That's good."
He looks at Yoo-Ah who's glaring at him and she turns away quickly when their eyes met before he looks at Juha and then me again saying:
"Anyways, Juha-Ssi isn't causing you any trouble is she?"
"C-Colonel?"
Juha looks at him with shock when I shake my head quickly replying:
"Not at all! She's been a huge help to me."
Juha looks at me with shocked as well when the Colonel tilts his head replying:
"Really? Now? Still..."
He lay back again to relax and continue saying:
"I heard you encountered the infamous bandit duo. And survived, I have to commend you for that, I clash with him back at the border and I can say he's not someone to be trifle with, even for me... Anyways, I just wanna say thank you for saving Juha-Ssi. You went above and beyond for someone you just met."
"Oh! N-No problem!"
"Hmph! You don't need to thank her for me Colonel! I already express my thanks."
Juha wraps her arms and looks away as she replies and the Colonel sigh replying:
"Haah, if you need any help don't hesitate to ask. It's the least I can do with your... Higher assistance helping me out."
(Higher assistance?)
"I-I see! I'll do that when I need one!"
(Wait... Isn't this a good chance?)
"Wait, um, actually I have something to ask."
"Then spit it out."
"Y-Yes! I need the long distance communication thing again if you would!"
"Ah... Alright, just head to the previous government office like last time and borrow a room again. Juha will be there to accompany and help you with the talking and operate the device. The call history is still there too."
"O-Okay, thanks!"
He continues to stare at me and soon that stare turns to a glare. Even though the Colonel isn't livid or anything the aura he's emminating is ridiculously suffocating similar to the time Yuwei pressure me back at our breakfast.
*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* *Click*
A ring can be heard from the Colonel's pocket when he press it and make it quiet. Wondering what it was, he looks back up at me,
*Crack* *Crack* *Crack*
The train's windows each crack along with the bright panels hanging on the ceiling cracks as well making them lose their light.
"Eep!"
"W-Woah! What's going on!?"
Ri-Mi curls up to a ball as she screams while Yoo-Ah shouts asking about everything around her cracking.
"Haaah..."
The Colonel lets out a long sigh and the heavy and murderous presence disappear. He stands carrying Ri-Mi on his arms as she finally regains conscious saying:
"Eeeh!? C-Colonel-"
"We're taking a shortcut."
"B-But sir!"
"Well it's nice having small relaxing chats like this. See you again."
"Waaah!"
Thanks to his height, The Colonel easily flips the switch at the train's ceiling while it's moving and jumps out when its open. The wind pressure from his jump push Yoo-Ah away as she holds me tightly.
"Huh?"
"Eh!?"
The hole close by itself while Yoo-Ah and I gasp in shock to what he's doing and look outside seeing him jumping from one building to another before vanishing.
(What was that all about?)
I look at Juha and she merely look at us annoyed replying:
"What? Don't look at me! Colonel is just a busy man is all! Dumbass, hmph! Just because I'm close friends with him doesn't mean I know much! It's only that Ri-Mi girl who knows him personally."
"Then at least tell him to control himself! Look around you!"
Yoo-Ah shouts back when Juha looks away replying:
"Hrmm... Ugh Fine! I'm not following your orders but take it as a suggestion. And I'll explain this to the station when we arrive... Hmph! Stupid Colonel!"
Juha looks outside annoyed while I follow her gaze and saw the a bustling district. Unlike the districts I've been this place truly is packed and filled to the brim from the streets and the sky by people and vehicles.
"Woah! Is this the market?"
*Ponk*
"That's right! We're getting close! And since this is the busy hours we got to be quick as well! But fear not! You don't really need those limited items so we'll be visiting the common place first!"
"I-I see..."
Seeing Yoo-Ah slamming to the cracked glass worries me but also seeing her smile kinda assures that I'm in good hands... Probably.
*Psssh*
Seeing the train stops, the box lady speaks, and the door opens. We head out as Juha looks around the secluded spot we're in. She looks at Yoo-Ah and sigh, asking:
"Can I have your contact? I'll call you when I'm done reporting."
"Sure!"
Yoo-Ah hands her a thin card before she stops saying:
"Eh!? I just realize but I'm supposed to this to Sova too! But he's an Owlian and can't even use the Coms!"
Juha swipes it away saying:
"Hmph! Then you better keep him close so you don't lost him. I'll contact you when I'm done so you better pick up!"
"Right..."
Juha separate leaving the train as then Yoo-Ah pushes me away saying:
"Alright! Letsa go!"
"W-Woah. Why do you keep pushing me?"
Looking around, I can see a lot of people roaming around unlike previous stations... Well the other side of the station. We dropped pff at the other side where there is no people at all while trains and vehicles keep coming and going on the other side. While we travel I finally remembered and stop Yoo-Ah on her tracks easily before saying:
"Hold on a second."
"Hmm? What is it!? We better be quick or that geezer will close his shop!"
(This early?)
"Well, I mean here."
I pull out the broken adventurer's badge and present it to her saying:
"It broke when I stop those two's attack.
"Ah! Well, Don't worry! I'll get you a new one before your promotion quest so let's go!"
"O-Okay..."
As we exit the station without any of those fences stopping us like last time, the winter sun brightens my view as I see the crowded streets and sooner than later the glares piercing at me, I try to ignore them as I stay close to Yoo-Ah and enjoy the new view. When I look back at Yoo-Ah I see her looking around as well before she pushes me again saying:
"Alright, quickly now!"
"W-Woah! Are we really in that much hurry?"
Pushing past the pedestrian and the surprisingly busy roads even with the falling snow, when Yoo-Ah gets tired of pushing me and grab my hand to lead the way. Maybe it's because I'm an Owlian or that my new gear is attracting a lot of attention but all the people I see seems to either steal glances at me or looking at me from afar or inside the building.
(Well, at least there's no bullies that spit on my feet).
Seeing more Wonders blanket by snow as I went and stopping a while to sight see and incur Yoo-Ah's pouts. I get to see from a large floating needle that's somehow regulating the roads and traffic, vehicles of unknown shapes with huge bellies and butts, beacons and lights that Yoo-Ah explained would turn on at night, and many more as we walk further away from the station while the building grows taller and wider as we go deeper.
(After hearing music when I travel to each station back when I travel in each Sector, I wonder what music does this country have?)
As the sky turns gold, Yoo-Ah finally stops on one giant building with a panel saying [Zhixi] that makes it look like a hand handing out gifts...
(De ja vu I feel like this happened before. Still, where did I see it again?)
As I hold my chin trying to remember, I see many people coming in and out of the multiple two-door building with bags of the same symbol. Yoo-Ah pushes me inside and through the going crowd. As I enter I was greeted with a multi story place with each floor displaying different stuff to see. I then proceed to look closer to the stuff in the first floor, from cooking utensils, shelves of crystals and tools, food and supplies, winter clothing and other attires, and etc.
(Woah, it seems the first floor is where we get the essential stuff-)
"Um, excuse me dear customer."
"Yes?"
While I was in the middle of my inspection, a female staff approaches me. Yoo-Ah seeing this rushed to her saying:
"Ah! Perfect timing! Staff! Bring us to the 4th floor-"
"Sorry dear customers but I have to ask you to leave, please."
"Huh!?"
Juha exclaims in surprise as the staff bows down while she says that and I can only tilt my head and wonder if I heard wrong by asking:
"Sorry, what?"
"Forgive me for saying this but your presence... Attracts bad luck and is a bad influence to all that comes here-"
"Bullshit! What the hell is that suppose to mean, huh!? I saw multiple Owlians before this winter! And you're treating them the same!"
Hearing the staff's voice getting softer, Yoo-Ah rushes to defend me and the stuff looks a bit down throttled as she sneaks a peak to look up and I follow her gaze to see a familiar lady accompanied by multiple guards on the highest floor.
(Sigh... Like what are the chances these days?)
Even though it's been almost a decade it all finally clicks, I can still recognize her even now. Her short red velvet hair is now passing through her waist as her weak complexion has changed to worse as her snow white skin looks even paler. With a brush on her hand and a small canvas on the other she looks down on us with a malicious grin.
"Hua Zhixi..."
I mumble softly as I wonder,
(You're one of May's friend who shows no sliver of discrimination and never even teased me, I dare say I look up to her and like her a lot when I started moving here since she's older than both me and May too... What the hell happen between those years for you to be like this? And I wonder if she still remembers me? Then again with my looks now I doubt anybody would, let alone recognize me when even my coworker who I work alongside for years didn't realize at first).
I can't help but smile and sigh as I feel a mix of joy and melancholy. I turn around, replying:
"Very well, I'll be leaving."
"What!? Sova! Don't be stupid! This is ridiculous!"
"Yea, I know but... I'll be waiting outside then."
"What?! Urgh! Screw this! I'm leaving as well, wait for me!"
(Sorry Yoo-Ah, but I don't want to get in trouble with her...)
Yoo-Ah follows along as the customers that enters make way for us. Feeling a bit down, I look at Yoo-Ah who's feeling the same asking:
"Say, why are we shopping out here when we can get most of the items at the guild anyways? I mean even the gramps and Clara is giving us huge discounts?"
Yoo-Ah folds her arms and taps her feat furiously replying:
"That's where we're suppose to sell our spoils and many more! We were also supposed to meet the manager of 4th floor where he would help explain! I even got a premium card for discounts on all their items as well for you!"
"I see... Sorry-"
"No! You're not the one who's suppose to say that! Fine! Let's just find somewhere else to sell and trade. And I'm going to give that gramps some huge nagging when we return to- hrrgh!"
Yoo-Ah stops her sentence takes her wallet and pulls out a thin transparent card and bring it close to her ear responding,
"Yes!"
(Hmm? Is she talking to that gramps?)
"No! We're infront of the Maya Mall... Yeah, we can wait here. Okay, bye!"
Yoo-Ah puts everything back in when she pouts saying:
"Well, Juha's on her way here. So let's find some place to wait."
"Oh? Magic sure is convenient."
Wondering how I can bring her mood back up, I look around and see stalls selling street food from sweets and meats, to stores selling clothing, weapons, and accessories. There's even cafes and other stuff like this building called... "Arcade", "Game Stores" and "TC Bang" whatever that means.
(Wait, you buy games? Is that even possible? Or is it like tabletop games? But isn't that sold in family stores?)
"Oh! Yoo-Ah, why don't we visit the stalls and stores? I'm quite curious to see the items for sell. And do you have something you recommend?"
"Eh? Well... I suppose that's fine! Alright! When we're talking street food, then it's gotta be that one! Let's go! We can find some other stores and get your supplies later!"
Yoo-Ah pulls my hand and as she drags me somewhere my eyes were drawn to a certain person as he diligently cooks while his sweat falls to his stained white undershirt.
"Whoa-ho! What's the matter- wait!""
I stop Yoo-Ah easily and pull her along, seeing his last customer leave eating their steaming hot meal, I approach him saying:
"Kitten, is that you?"
"Who are you calling kitten, bitch!"
(Yup that's him).
Speaking in Runician and replied with one, I see him answer back as expected by how Moriz called him. With a towel on his shoulders, his black hair comb to the back which makes his red eyes more prominent, his attire is an absolute mismatch for his looks and slim toned build as he holds two cooking tools on his hand.
"Ah, Sova, it's just you. It seems you got yourself some new clothes but what do you want? Moriz is not here."
Kitten speaks as he cleans up the remaining crumbs on his stall which is located pretty open with the others. Smelling the remnant of the meal he makes makes me wonder if he's a good cook as I snap back replying:
"N-No, I'm just surprised to see you in here selling freely. I thought you're wanted?"
He jabs his tools to the side of his pans and points at me replying:
"Hmph! The only one wanted is that shit for brains, Moriz since his face is more known. I'll only be chased if I'm with him so we split up."
"I-I see..."
"Hey! What are you talking about, Sova!? Do you know this dude!? Damn he's pretty hot!"
Yoo-Ah hides behind me as she asks and I nod saying:
"Yea, he's a my friend's cousin. Though we're more of acqueintance."
"Eh!? Really!? A bit suspicious, though I suppose you're lucky to finally meet someone you know."
"Mhm! Though I barely know anything of him. Since I met him only twice before."
As we talk, Kitten looks at her asking:
"Hey? Who is she? And what did she say?"
"Oh! U-Um, she said if I know you and you're pretty hot. Whatever that means, do you feel hot?"
Kitten's face reddened a bit replying:
"Really? Well, anyways if you don't wanna order anything just get out of the way. Or at least stand on the side of the stall."
"Ah! S-Sorry! Wait!"
I look at Yoo-Ah asking:
"Say mind if we buy some meals here? I'm quite curious to what he sells."
"Eh? Well, this is the first time I see this food too so why not!? Fortune favours the bold!"
"Great!"
I look back at Kitten saying:
"Then two of whatever you have here then!"
He sighs and grab the tool he jabs replying:
"Coming right up, you want spicy or not?"
"Definitely not for me! And..."
I look back at Yoo-Ah asking:
"Spicy or not?"
"Spicy of course!"
"Ugh..."
"Hey! What's with that reaction! If you can't tell half of our cuisine use hot spice!"
"I see..."
I look back at him again saying:
"She wants it spicy please."
"I see, please wait."
Seeing him smear butter over the pan and placing handful of meat, vegetable and other ingredients I can't help but ask,
"So what is it that you're making?"
"You're asking that now? It's literally on the sign above- you know what, I'll tell you anyway. It's something I learn from my friend. It's from the Eclipse Empire called okonomiyaki. Some kind of pancake with meat and vegetable topping."
"Woah! Pancakes!? Amazing! And it smells really nice! You're a great cook huh?"
"Well, I suppose I am. So, how's with Moriz request? Did you hand it over?"
I nod replying:
"Mhm! Give it to the guild already. But either that, it seems you've dropped your evil ways and choose something more honest."
"Hmph! I never steal in the first place! I'm a Noble from Central after all, I would rather beg on my knees than steal!"
"I-I see..."
(It seems there are things I don't know about).
"Hey! Sova! You've been speaking in weird language! Don't keep me out!"
Yoo-Ah shakes me as she tries to know what we're talking about and I can only sigh replying:
"I-I'm sorry. Um... I suppose we're catching up. And it's not weird. This is Runician."
"Runician? This is what people in heaven speaks like? Weird!"
"Tch! It's a bit tiresome speaking two language at the same time no? Just wait, and entertain your friend there. By the way, you better find Moriz if you can."
I can't help but look at him with a disgusted face replying:
"Hmm? Why?"
He smirks replying:
"Heh, glad to know you don't like him. He said he needs some help with something and if you do help, he can repay you back with some request. Or maybe even help that Yuwei."
"Eh? That's..."
Seeing him taking some white sauce and making a cross all over the food as he sprinkle some more ingredients on top silence me when he continue saying:
"I hate to admit this, but even though Moriz may be a scum and worse he is still a reliable dude. If you can meet him, why not make him be in debt? There's a reason why the Turtle Academy jump from the mid 20's to rank 4 in the world's best schools you know."
(Wait, what? Hmm... Still...
I nod once replying:
"Fine, I'll think about it."
"Okay, I delivered his message. And if you want to meet him, I heard he'll be at the 2nd level of the flying market. Heard him saying he found a treasure store and will be hanging around there."
"I see..."
(Seeing how Moriz is also an idol fan... This place is where one of the most popular idol of Yoo-Ah said is right).
Kitten hands me the two meals on a plate with tissues tuck on the side with a spoon saying:
"Well, here you go, a hot meal just served! That will be 20 Li."
"Li?"
I look back at Yoo-Ah asking:
"Say, how much is Li? I thought we use Wu here?"
"Wu is the paper currency here, Li is the coin. As for the exchange rate, 100 Li is 1 Wu. So how much is it?"
"Oh! 20 Li he said."
(Really? So coins and paper go for different names?)
"Really? That's cheap for something that looks that big. Okay! Here!"
Yoo-Ah pulls out her wallet and gave me two coins as I hand it to him saying:
"Here you go."
We exchange our items as he gives us an extra tissue and bows his head down saying:
"Thank you for your purchase. The red one is spicy."
"Ah okay! Here Yoo-Ah. Let's eat!"
I gave Yoo-Ah her's and start eating mine as we move away.
*Chomp*
"Hrmm?"
I could taste so many different toppings and the flavours seemingly overwhelm me as it is also fulfilling. I quickly rush to Kitten again asking:
"Say, will you be selling here again tommorow?"
He got surprised by my sudden dash and nods replying:
"Yeah, sure. I mean I rented this place for a week so I'll be here for a week I suppose."
"Okay! See you again then!"
*Chomp*
I wave at him and rush back to Yoo-Ah as I take another bite. Seeing Yoo-Ah eating hers, I swallow my food before asking:
"How is it? It's delish for me."
"Hum! Hum! Yhu hoa bu yum!"
"I see, glad you like it too."
Seeing her regain spirit, I nod with mission accomplished as I see her get her energy back. Now what stalls should I visit next?
*************************************
"Aaaah! What is wrong with this city! It wasn't like this before I went home for my vacation!"
Yoo-Ah yells attracting the eyes of the onlookers for a short while before she lay her head down defeated on the table. Being scammed, swindle, refuse service and shoo away multiple times, we found ourselves resting on the outside table of some cafes. Beneath a big umbrella, seeing the orange snow pile up to circle around us beneath the golden sun. It's not a bad view.
"Sorry, it seems I'm not really welcome here. Maybe I should've stayed in the guild and order stuff from their stores?"
"No! Being an adventurer means that you also have to experience the business life! You also have to learn yow to manage and sort out your items as well! Because sooner or later you'll learn the hard truth of knowing that you can't carry everything!
I was even planning on helping you open your banking account so you can store money. But seeing all the reaction so far, I doubt that's possible."
"Wow, you sure know how to do lot of stuff even though we're the same age. I'm really impressed."
Yoo-Ah jolts before sneakily look up from behind her arms replying:
"R-Really? You really think so?"
I nod replying:
"Yea, banking, managing items, getting to do all those favours. I doubt any girl is like you."
Yoo-Ah lifts her head with a huge smug on her face saying:
"Hum! Hum! It seems you have realize my importance! Though I suppose we have our own strength and weaknesses. Anyways! After we got our drinks, let us just head back to the guild! I guess we can head to the archives to get the information we need on the Witch's Forest."
(Witch's Forest huh? Isn't that the place where the guardian is? Well, I can only hope I don't meet them).
Yoo-Ah leans back and slouch lower on her chair as if all her energy's been drained.
"Phew, when are the drinks coming? Feel like it's taking quite a while just for some tea and milkshakes."
I nod along her words as I remember the drink I was given back when Sis Fei brought me to her friend's party.
(I'm a bit surprised they have it here).
Yoo-Ah leans closer to me asking:
"Still, you have some weird taste. Do you like it that much?"
I nod replying:
"Yup! My Sister's friend gave it to me last time and I want to drink it again since there's none at home."
"Really? What kind of place do you live in if Milkshakes are luxuries? Speaking of home, you said you live in the Phoenix Sector yeah?"
"Mhm! Mhm!"
"I'm surprised that there's tiers in Heaven."
"Really? I thought it was pretty normal."
"Of course not! Who would segregate their own people like that! I suppose Heaven is the dreams of the Noble Gods that lived here."
"Really?"
As we speak the waitress finally returns.
"Finally! Let's finish this drink and wait for Juha here!"
Hearing Yoo-Ah said that I can't help but be worried with the waitress as she isn't carrying anything with her tray and wearing a grim look on her face. Yoo-Ah probably realizing where this is going gets up saying:
"Sorry, I guess we'll be leaving."
Hearing footsteps rushing towards us, a female noble soldier with silver trims stops Yoo-Ah from getting up saying:
"Please hold it right there, traitor~"
(Traitor?)
I tilt my head in confusion when I hear someone walk behind me and grasp my shoulder saying:
"Sorry, but you'll be coming with us."
Hearing a man's voice behind me as he push my shoulders down probably trying to stop me. Juha struggles to get away from the soldier replying:
"What the hell! What do you think you're doing! The fact that she's still here-"
"How dare you raise your voice to a Goddess like me. Mortals like you should easily listen and redeem yourself."
*slap*
Seeing the female soldier behind her slaps Yoo-Ah I hastily stand but the soldier behind me tries to push me down, I grab his arm and throw him to the female soldier easily. Seeing them crash to each other and fall of the heightened platform we're in. They quickly get up shouting:
"You Owlian dare!"
"Do you realize who you're messing with!?"
The man draws his blade while the lady pulls out her rifle and hold it like a spear. The people around us moves away as they form a circle. The female soldier smiles and pulls back her weapon saying:
"She probably don't, Taek-Jun. If she does, she would be begging on her knees."
She then points her rifle at me saying:
"I'm Silver Bone and 2nd lieutenant Baemjang-eo Ha-Bam, one of the agents of the Internal Defense Bureau. And so is the one beside me. Under the new national law from the Judicial Court and enforce by the Commander Militant. All Owlians who doesn't contribute to the Magic Industry and development shall be exiled out of all the city!"
A glowing knife extends at the end of her rifle as she takes a stance and continue saying:
"Simply put, you better come quietly now or I'll have to break your legs and throw you out of this city if I have to be honest."
(The fudge! Isn't that just ridiculous and brutal!? And Owlians who doesn't contribute to magic? Isn't that all Owlians!?)
"No you won't!"
"Yoo-Ah?"
Yoo-Ah appears before me again with her arms open as to protect me. Seeing her reddened cheek, I try to pull her back saying:
"Yoo-Ah stop-"
"No! You've been getting pulled over for troubles yo didn't even commit! And I had enough of you being taken away without me not being able to do anything!"
"Yoo-Ah, that's... Thank you."
Even knowing she can't do much alone, she still does it anyway. I wonder if I can be so brave? Most of all, she's truly cared for me, and as I said, I won't let her down.
