"If you came of your own free will, why have you been spying on us all this time?"
I had noticed them since we came out of the sentimental haze.
"We weren't quite sure of ourselves when you mentioned a place to shelter. We wanted to make sure you were well meaning people."
My eye yes, they did that so that I would have to accept them. Afterwards, they followed us.
"That's what you're thinking about right?"
"Didn't I understand correctly?"
"Sorry, but I don't work like that!"
CHAPTER 45
"What do you mean by that?" The one who seemed to be the leader of the three answered me.
"What's your name?"
"Terry Kane, and this is Edward and Lisa my two friends.
So this girl, who was injured, is called Lisa...
"How did she do that?"
"Excuse me but we are not in an interrog..."
Lisa cut him off.
"Don't worry Terry. It was during what you seem to call the sentimental haze, old memories, resurfacing about my brother..."
I too have memories I don't want to remember...
His testimony reminded me of that girl in the orphanage and... And then no, I don't want to remember that.
Strong, fortunately I didn't live it in the sentimental haze.
"I sympathise, but that doesn't mean I'll let you stay here.
They were all surprised by my answer, even my group thought I had no heart left because of what we were going through.
"But don't you see? We are in the middle of an apocalypse! No one is going to help us! The only way out is to help each other!"
It's true that I'm the only one with Cowleen who knows that this is all a dream.
So I can leave him here to die.
"That's true..."
But Toshiko and her kindness would never want me to act like this...
"But only one person will get the reward in the end"
"We'll just have to team up!"
"I don't like that word very much" Naoki then said.
"I'll leave you for this time"
"Really? Thanks to you"
I agreed to their request, as I didn't want to team up with them.
Toshiko went to look after Lisa, while Terry Edwar and Naoki sat in the cave and talked.
"Aren't you coming with us Yume?"
"No, I have something to do..."
I had to find a solution, I couldn't let them near us.
