"Damn, they're persistent," Glimpse Water had to catch his breath on the ground as Oppoa retreated next to him.
"It's more fun this way!" Oppoa's excited face showed how much he enjoyed this. The ground floor's hallway was already destroyed and the walls were smashed to bits.
"Hey, you were the ones charging at us, so why hide?" one of the private force, called Prifo, walked towards Glimpse Water and Oppoa, not too slow but also not too fast. As if he was taking a stroll.
Tefo, the other opponent, stood in the back and yelled, "Hurry up! Apparently, there'll be prawn dumplings for lunch!"
Prifo froze and then swung around to throw a stone at Tefo, "Shut up! No one wants stupid seafood!"
Prifo had tears in his eyes as he stood before Glimpse Water and Oppoa, "Hey come on, let's just settle this! I need to go out and get something to eat! Once we have to eat lunch we can't escape! I don't want to eat prawn dumplings!"
"Agreed we should settle this!" Oppoa got into a position and elevated himself into the air and attacked Prifo.
"If I win, can I have some of the prawn dumplings?" Oppoa slapped Prifo in the face.
"You got something else?" Prifo slapped him back.
"I can cook, something very good. How about roast pork buns?"
Prifo's eyes lit up as he smashed Oppoa against the wall, "Sounds good!"
"Great!" Oppoa used the wall as a jumping base and rushed towards Prifo and slammed him onto the ground. The impact was so great the whole castle shook
On the side Glimpse Water just watched with Tefo who calmly made it through the fight between the two maniacs, and wanted to have company. Both of them stared at each other and sighed.
"I'm sorry for my friend," Tefo leaned against the wall.
"Same here," Glimpse Water was crouched down.
Both of them continued to watch the crazy fight or was it a food talk? Either way, they stared at each other again and then fist-bumped.
"Here's to not do the same," Tefo said while his eyes glued back to the battle.
"Yea," Glimpse Water stood up, "Booze is better anyways."
"My man!" this time Tefo's eyes lit up and sparkled, "Companion?"
"Ya got it right!" Glimpse Water and Tefo linked arms.
"Honestly, the second prince has a very good taste in alcohol, that's why I joined him, so as long as you don't hurt me to the point I can't drink, we can settle this peacefully."
"You a good fellow, ain't you? Got it, if this is over, let's go and drink some," Glimpse Water was happy about his new friend.
Hey, hey, did you guys forget what we came here for?? Glimpse Water, as your father I will pull you by the ears!
Yet the illusionary words of Frozen Milk were waved away by Glimpse Water.
Seems like I have to torture you in prison, surely you are prepared for that?
Even Bro's illusionary words were waved away by Tefo.
Those two truly made a good pair.
***
Still stuck in the basement, Prota and Vil had a heated staredown with their opponents- Vafo and Cepri.
They also forgot what they came for and were convinced they could not lose this battle of manliness! They only knew they couldn't afford to be emasculated!
Anything but this! Their pride as a man was on the line. If they couldn't take dignity in their manliness how could Vil and Prota satisfy Frozen Milk? If they couldn't win over manly beasts then how could Vafo and Cepri serve the second prince?
So, this battle of staredown was incredibly important.
To outsiders, it looked like a staredown but what actually went on was their auras battling with each other and thus a simulation of a real fight happened in their minds.
You attack me here? I dodge! You cut off my arm? I cut off your leg!
It went on and one with neither moving an actual inch, all fighting happening in their minds. This was to see who had more mental force and was superior.
Although actually Prota and Vil could've won the battle with a maximum of 3 punches, sometimes a man's pride couldn't be reduced to something this low.
A man's pride was what determined true power! Don't look down on men!
Frozen Milk and the second prince would be very disappointed if they saw this. The second prince would bite off his own head if he knew his brother, the bother he despised and secretly admired for his strength and favouritism was actually just a brute M hung up on his pride to make himself more attractive to his Lord.
Somehow there was something wrong with all of this.
None of the situations were treated as severe but still, Frozen Milk's life was on life. How could he ever trust his characters again? It was good, Frozen Milk didn't know about this or else he would've lost all his goodwill in humanity.
Even though his characters were acting petty, they still had Frozen Milk as their priority on their minds, it was just... just that they were distracted by things, but they swore they cared about Frozen Milk the most!
They were here doing these precisely because Frozen Milk was so important! Look at us solving things peacefully! Though the ground floor was totally destroyed but we just did it for you!
Look at us going through a mind battle because we want to be manly for you! It is all because if we don't do it this way, they would look down on you! Frozen Milk, please believe us!
The two systems snickered. This was really their favourite tea time relief.
However, Frozen Milk's system had to quickly regain its seriousness. This was not the time to laugh about idiots. Its host was going to die!
"Host?"
"Host?"
His system was actually anxious, the dreaded silence was back. Every time Frozen Milk wouldn't answer or snap at it, the system would get a small electrical short circuit.
"Host?"
However, it was futile. Frozen Milk already lost consciousness and his fate couldn't be entrusted to anyone below him but only luck.
Like always, luck was the only thing that would determine Frozen Milk's life.
It was hard to say if his luck was extremely bad or barely good.
