"Wait Yume Kawashima..."
I turned around.
"Do you think what's happening right now is just an illusion?" Mirage then asked me.
"It's possible..."
He sighed a breath then continued.
"You look interesting to me, I'll help you just this once."
He changed his mind.
"Do I look interesting to you?"
CHAPTER 65
"What is he talking about Mirage?"
His companions could not help but ask him many questions.
"I'm going to help him just this once, you get out of here while you still can!"
"Are you going to abandon your teammates? And what will you do if you make this payday?"
"There is no indication that the whole team should have reached the finish line"
"I see, despite that, you won't share the reward with me..."
"Hey! You're asking too much here!" Aiden shouted.
"Indeed, I'm already doing you the pleasure of helping you, so don't ask for more."
It's true that one might be surprised at my temper, but I don't mind, surely the gods like people like that.
"You were ready to give up. Let's say you earned the paycheck. If I hadn't forced you to help me, you wouldn't have any of it!"
"So what?"
I was surprised at his response.
"The world has changed now, you can only rely on yourself. Anyway, we don't have much time left let's go."
"Mirage, promise me you'll come back!"
"Don't worry Harmony, I won't let you do it."
So the two of us went to rescue Naoki and Toshiko.
"Do you have any idea where they are?"
"The last time we were separated was during the strange challenge we had to overcome."
"How come you're not with them?"
"We had to be an odd number to cross a bridge."
"Weren't there three of you?"
"Some strangers crashed"
"Okay..."
...
He's not very talkative, after that it doesn't surprise me either.
"I will send them a message, it will be faster"
"Is there a connection here?"
"You're right..."
"I'm starting to regret following you..."
"Wait! Have you noticed, the temperature is rising..."
"Yume up!"
I immediately looked up. The lava had already made a path, but because of a rock blocking its way, it drifted and fell on the whole forest.
"It's still strange, look to the left. There is a water fountain."
"Do you think someone activated this disaster?"
"It's possible. Why? Do you have any idea who it could be?"
Two names kept popping into my head. The prophetess, but also Lee Chan, that girl who won the myrtle of Aphrodite.
"At least the person who did this is sure, because the Dark Storm is not over."
"This will give a new lease of life to those who have not taken this path!"
"Yes... Besides, I wonder how you know this part since you didn't participate in the optional pay?"
"Well... It's because of my foreshadowing power."
They start to indulge a lot more...
"So how are you going to save your friends?"
I lowered my head and took on a more melancholy voice.
"You know Mirage, we really could have become friends..."
"What do you mean? What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"
I smiled, then put my hands on his shoulders.
"I think I've come up with an idea, we're not going to save my friends, we're going to save the whole forest instead!"
