I knew what I was suggesting.
A temporary alliance between me and these strangers, pending the time we got all the Arcanas.
It was both a sudden and risky deal, but the way I saw it, the benefits made it all worth it.
'Firstly, there's the fact that my knowledge of this world is insufficient. Having these three provide me with information while serving as my cover in this place, is perfect.'
The second, and most obvious reason, was the conflict of interests that would arise from operating separately.
'We both want the Arcanas, so if one side gets it first, it could cause conflict for the other.'
I, for one, needed every single piece of the cards, and I desperately had to lay my hands on them.
'I don't want to hurt anyone in the process, especially if they're not enemies.' Which was why I proposed an alliance.
"Hmm. A team-up, huh? That's actually a great idea." Larry Damien rubbed his chin as he smiled at me.
"It's similar to what I proposed to both Drake and Aria."
