Presny started crying silently and also left.
Meanwhile. As Atrox is walking on a hallway trying to have a peace of mind.
"Why did you do that?"
"So what?"
"Apologize to her."
"Why would I even do that? Huh?"
"Because I said so."
"Don't you dare order me around Raske."
"Apologize."
"I won't. Why do you even care about her stupid feelings? If you wanted her, then go for her!"
"I don't have a feeling for her."
"Then have a "feeling" for her. That is not hard isn't it?"
"You should be saying that to yourself."
'I don't care about your stupid reasons."
"Stay here."
"Why? Huh!?"
"I said apologize to her."
"Then just do it yourself! I don't care about both of you! I am here because I was placed as part of this team! And now I am in this country. But I respect Takao. And I know he could give me and have me fulfill my only dream. I don't even have a slight of concern about both of you. So fuck off."
"Apologize to her!"
"Fuck it! I know you have feelings for her, Raske. So go ahead! I am giving you a chance of making her yours! I don't even have a thing about her."
"She is my best friend. You know what!? She always brags about you since we are kids. Since we first met each other. Actually. I don't have feelings for her since then. But she does. For you. I wanted her to be happy even though the man she actually wishes for is not as good as she thought he would be. So go ahead and apologize to her. I will make you two be together. No matter what it takes."
"Really!? Then I will have to kill you, I guess."
"I will make sure Takao won't resurrect you."
They both took out their designated weapons through their elements. Raske took his adamantite shield from the ground and Atrox's sword appears after the fire on this hand concludes.
"I know you are a good fighter Raske. Though I don't really get why you use a shield. But it is nice. Since you could kill with it since it has retractable blades on four sides."
"Yeah. That will remove your chance of victory."
"I don't think so."
Raske then suddenly disappears.
"What the?"
"Behind you."
"Wh–!"
Raske smashed Atrox's face with his extremely large shield which broke many walls as Atrox bursts through them due to the force on that attack.
"What. The hell!? How are you fast?"
"Idiot. It is my magic."
Raske started walking towards Atrox after he burst from six walls straight and is currently stuck on the seventh wall.
"Hah... Fuck it."
A blade has come out on one side of the shield then. Ready to pierce the life out of Atrox.
As he prepared to strike. A voice came out.
"I guess that's it. Stop!"
"Takao-san."
'Takao?"
"You don't have to kill each other. Here."
"Both of you. Stop, please. I know you don't get along well. But you should stop."
"Presny..."
"Gah..."
"Please. Both of you! You don't have to do this! Raske. You are like a big brother to me. And I love to know that you are defending me. Thank you for that. Atrox. If you don't want it. I'm fine. Go on with what you wanted. I am fine without you."
"..."
"Really!? You're fine without me?"
"Shut your mouth if you're not saying anything good."
Raske suddenly appeared by then and stabbed him with the large blade attached to the shield.
"Guahhh... Raske... You bastard... Gah...'
"Raske! Please no!"
"A person like this shouldn't be left alive."
"Raske. Stop. You don't have to kill each other."
"But... Takao-san. This man is..."
"It's fine."
"Yes. I respect that then."
He proceeds to pull out the large blade from Atrox's powerless body resulted from the loss of blood. And back off.
"You're lucky. Atrox. I'm leaving. Takao-san."
"Mm."
As Takao is healing Atrox.
"That bastard... Thank you. Takao."
"Don't worry about that."
"Are you gonna say something. Huh, Presny?"
"No. Nothing."
"Say it."
"Its nothing."
"I'll be your husband."
"What?"
"Didn't you heard it?"
"But... Why? What's gotten on you?"
"Just marry me."
"Oh... Sudden proposal. Huh?"
"Yeah. You could say that. Takao. I'll be in my room for now. I'll talk about it tomorrow, Presny."
"Ah... Yes! Takao-san. I'll be leaving too."
"Oh... Fine. Go on."
And Takao proceeds too as if nothing happened. He then met Raske on the way looking outside a window.
"By the way. Are you not getting a rest yet? You had an argument there. Call it a day."
"I am fine. Takao-san."
"Tell me. Do you really mean it? We both heard everything. You really don't have feelings for her?"
'No. Not at all. I don't really have it towards her."
"I see. But... I know you heard what Atrox said."
"Yes. I am good with that."
'Why are you two like that? Is that really a strained relationship of you two?"
"Yes. We always fall on an argument."
"I see."
"You. Takao-san. Why are you walking at night? Where are you heading into?"
"Oh. My office. There are lots to do after all."
"Haha. Shouldn't you be cuddling your young wife at this hour?"
"Haha! Come on. I am not getting tired after all."
"Yeah. By the way. Your marriage was splendid."
"Mm. Sure it is. Well. May I know your preference in women?"
"Can I say that I don't have a thing with women?"
"Why not?"
"I just... Don't... I don't know too."
"Hmm... Maybe... A curvy one? Petite? What do you think about it?"
"Told you... I don't have a thing with them. Why are you talking like this all of a sudden?"
"Let's just say the others have their love. So. Maybe... For you... Have one."
"No. No thanks."
"Hah. Fine."
"The view of the night is perfect in this castle."
"Yeah. You really say that."
"Go to your office then. A lot of work."
