Chereads / My Brother is a CAT / Chapter 4 - Hopeless 6

Chapter 4 - Hopeless 6

Yudha even laughed at his friend's words. If it is like this, Yudha can show his existence as a true friend that is needed by Arjuna. In a situation like this, Arjuna can count on Yudha as a brother. Just like when Arjuna was always alone when Yudha faced enemies, like that time.

This time the situation was different. Yudha really likes it when his friend begs Yudha to help Arjuna. However, unfortunately it only exists in Yudha's hallucinations. It is impossible for an Arjuna to ask anyone for help, remember if Arjuna's self-esteem is very high.

Arjuna just put on a cold face, as usual. Arjuna then looked around and only a dark place could be seen around them. Arjuna then thought of something.

"Wait! Instead of you bothering to carry me on my back until my head is lumpy, shouldn't you find a way out first, Yudha? Maybe if I wake up, at the same time with you already found a way out, right? Then, what have you been doing since earlier, Yudha?!" Arjuna demanded to the teenager who claimed to be his best friend.

"I was so panicked because you weren't conscious, Juna. Not to mention you suddenly had a nosebleed. Where did I even think about leaving you, huh? You didn't even wake up even though I kept screaming until my voice was hoarse. I even thought you were died earlier, Juna," said Yudha, telling the truth.

"Damn! So, the story is that we are both still trapped in this weird basement, Yudh? Then ... why are you still relaxing like sunbathing on the beach, Yudh?! I don't even see the slightest panic on your face. so it's suspicious that you're actually in cahoots with the black giant earlier, Yudh. Right, right?" Arjuna protested. All the events that happened to him were so strange that Arjuna forgot how to think rationally.

"A conspiracy with your nutmeg, Juna!! How could I ally with that ugly black furry monster! Don't fool you, Juna!!"

"Then why are you still taking it easy, Yudh? Don't you think we're stuck here for too long, um?" When Arjuna looked at his watch, it was already 4 pm. "Crazy! It means that all day we were stuck in the same area, Yudh? Why does it feel like it's been days, huh?"

"That's because I spent the whole day fainting, Juna. Maybe you've already spent 30% of our time here just lying down!!"

Arjuna rubbed the back of his head, the pain was still there from being dropped by Yudha earlier. "You're right, Yudh. No wonder I felt so long in the illusion realm earlier."

Arjuna rubbed the back of his head, the pain was still there from being dropped by Yudha earlier. "You're right, Yudh. No wonder I felt so long in the illusion realm earlier."

Arjuna again glanced sharply at his friend, who was now sitting on the right side of Arjuna.

"But, still this is no reason for you to relax like that, Yudh!! Think of a way out of this place!!" snapped Arjuna, which made Yudha jump in surprise.

"Then what should I do, um? My cell phone was destroyed when we fought that damn black monster. So, for now, let's just pray that someone who doesn't have work to do passes around here, then helps us, Juna," Yudha chirped.

Although there was a feeling of hopelessness in his mind, but Yudha tried to be calm. If he panicked, then it must be the subject of ridicule to his comrades. Yudha wants to be relied on by Arjuna, his friend.

Arjuna looked around again and saw that this place still had many passages, which he also did not know which way out of all of them.

Arjuna looked around again and saw that this place still had many passages, which he also did not know which was the exit from all of them.

"But, wait! So, while I was unconscious earlier, then what were you doing, Yudh?! You couldn't just be sitting by the bonfire relaxing all this time, right?"

Yudha immediately smiled awkwardly when his friend's guess was right.

Arjuna understood the meaning of his friend's sly smile. Arjuna's eyes glared back at Yudha.

"Huh?! So you're really just sitting around relaxing, Yudh?!"

"Don't get me wrong, Juna. That was while waiting for you to wake up, I've been around this place. I also moved you who were unconscious to lean on one of the pillars. So, don't think if I just stay silent, Juna! I You've done a lot of things while you weren't awake."

Yudha said, annoyed. However, from the whole story of Yudha earlier, he actually spent most of his time sitting quietly relaxing, as Arjuna had accused him of earlier.

Arjuna believed and looked around again. This is a place, next to which there is still an ancient temple building that looks like a pagoda. From Arjuna's position, the ancient temple only seemed to have 3 floors, but Arjuna didn't know if there were a few more floors above the ceiling. What is clear is that Arjuna is now in a large room.

To their left was the door leading to the Ancient shrine and far to their right was the bronze door, which no longer had any leaves, the place where the black-feathered monster had rested. Then, all around him was an iron wall.

Yudha is now laying down on the ground, which is actually a granite floor that has been covered with dust so thick that it looks like dirt. Yudha has been tired of circling this whole room since three hours ago. There are only iron walls on the front and back. There are indeed several passages in that place.

It's just that one passage leads to an ancient temple building, which Yudha really doesn't want to enter again. While the other hallway is leading to the bronze door earlier, where the hideous black furry monster had lived. So, Yudha decided to just keep quiet. There might be a miracle after this, he thought.

Arjuna is also still confused by the situation he is currently experiencing. So, his brain can't work optimally. In fact, Arjuna is still confused which is the real world and which is the illusion.

"Juna, what if we're stuck here forever?" asked Yudha, who suddenly crossed his mind about the bad luck.

"What's going on? It's obvious we'll starve to death unless...." Arjuna deliberately hung up on his words to make his friends curious.

"Unless what? Say it quickly, Juna! Don't make me curious!" guide Yudha. Yudha was so sure that Arjuna would give him a solution, considering that Arjuna's experience in the outside world was wider than his own.

Arjuna once said that he often goes on adventures and goes to far away places, very different from Yudha who prefers to lie down in his room while watching anime.

"Quickly say the exception, Juna!" Arjuna spoke again, curious.
