Shiro: "Guys, what do you think of these entrance?"
Kuro: "Judging by my own instinct, I think it's safer to go to the first hole, there's some light on it, so maybe the adventurer of before coming down from this path? Or maybe this is just a common hole for us to get to the 18th floor. Jo, what's ur situation?"
Kujo: "I have inspected the 2nd one, it's barely passable, but it's too steep, so Syura definetely won't go there as it's too much of a trouble for him. The third hole, White hair, how's yours?"
Shiro" .... I'm Shiro by the way! Right, it's just a plain road for meters, after that it was a steep descent from there on, you can even slide on it by the looks of it!"
Kuro: " hmm, ok, let's just take a vote, where would we be if we were Syura.... I take the first hole!"
Kujo: " Same, first hole!"
Shiro: "Third!"
Kuro: "Ok, it's decided! We'll gonna take the first hole!"
At first Shiro and Kujo nodded, but then after Kuro finished his sentence, Shiro froze, 'Oy that's wrong! you guys must know his 'well' being right!' and so he immidiately protested.
Shiro: "Wait! No! No! No! Syura must be in the third one! You know! By how naive he was!"
Kuro: " ... Heh, that's no possible, only some childish guy would take the third hole and sliding using his ass!"
Kujo: " Yeah, definitely! Afterall how come an immortal using his back to slide..." Kujo sipported.
Shiro: "But it was Syura we're talking about!" Shiro retorted.
"...." Kuro and Kujo just kept silent.
And to break the awkwardness, Kujo suddenly turned to Kuro.
Kujo: "Let's go, shall we, Kuro" while bowing with a 'please' gesture.
Kuro: "Sure, please.." Kuro returned the act of coutesy.
And the two went into the first hole...
"But... But... But... Syura is definitely in the third hole!" Shiro didn't know whether to laugh or to cry, their act is just too damn bad!
They definitely know that Syura is in the third hole! That's why they choose the first one by the way they act!
'anyway, Syura, may you rest in piece...' Shiro pray in his heart while looking at the third hole.
"Hey guys! Wait for me!" Shiro said while running towards them.
'Even if he meet with a wild boss or another floor boss, he could just handle it well' the three thought to themselves.
~~~
The reason Kujo and Kuro doing this is to progressed even more!
With an immortal on his party, they could almost defeat anything in this lower floor!
And even before, when the party were faced with hordes of monster, the one with the most kills were Syura! Even when he was just practicing his new power called Magi!
He was both an excellent support and attacker!
The monster that got injured by his magic can't even be called a threat to the party!
Some who got slowed, their movement is pretty much no different than an old man walking... No, traveling in his wheelchair!
It's that slow!
Of course it was a manual wheelchair we're talking about...
So the Group pretty much didn't have any pressure, but their psychological pressure are too overwhelmingly strong!
Making both Kujo and Kuro nearly cornered to despair! Into hopelessness!
That's why, even though it's safer to go together, but it's better to separate from Syura! After all, in their mind, It's always Syura that carrying them all from the start!
Even now, while walking to the 18th floor, their face are serious to the extreme!
Shiro that just come near them, suddenly felt the seriousnes of the situation. So he try to ease them up.
Shiro: " Hey, relax, Syura won't have anything bad happened to him, he's ...." But just when he wants to finished his sentence, Kuro cut him off.
Kuro: " Shiro, from now on, we must become strong! as soon as possible!"
Shiro: " Why all of a sudden?"
Kujo: "..."
Kuro: " Does this world has made you this feeble that you don't even have any pride!?"
" What do you mean?" Shiro said, donned with serious expression on his face.
"Then I ask you! What Syura is in your view ?" Kuro asked.
"Of course a friend"
After months staying in his house, and play with him for hours and hours, of course they will think of him as their friend. Much less Kujo, who have adventured together, facing enemies together.
And now that they got summoned to another world...
"And... You think him as a friend, so you will just leech onto him forever!?
" Of course, No!"
" That's why we must be strong! To support our friend... Syura is sure strong, even above human imagination! But what about his enemies later on! Think about Ichigo! What was his enemies look like!
They are stronger! Before, in our world, Ulqiorra could even insta-killed him even though Ichigo has already strong enough to defeat the captains of Gotei 13!
Do you want the tragedies to happen again! But what'll actually happen this time around is that we'll only be a dregs for him!
Now that we have our own bodies, we can now support Our King like a real subordinate!"
Kuro finally let out his emotions, and all things that bothered him these days. Before, he was just a spirit remains in someone else body, with the host coming in mostly just when in need of strength...
And now that he got a real body, and a real friends, of course he won't just let them go around like that! Watching people die, he got much of it in his memories as a Ychwach (juhabach) that he's numb to it.
And now, that his feeling of friendship got re-ignited again, he will stick into it, and support all of his friends 'till the end of his life!
That also include Kujo and Shiro infront of him, as he already thought of them as his friend...
Kujo and Shiro could only stood still in their place, even though the 18th floor exit is just a few steps away.
