"I understand," Jake said.
"If that is the case, why don't you compromise a little bit?" Louise asked. "Even if we don't join Frederick's guild, we can still increase the number of members in this party. If you were in our position, you would understand how tough it is to see a friend getting hurt like that fighting monsters while making sure that they won't target us."
"It would be a pain in the ass, besides, you guys are anomalies, few people would be able to withstand me," Jake said. "Considering that neither of you really like this place, you really should join the guild. After all, you will obtain more information and obtain the strenght from their numbers. Don't worry about me, whatever happens from now on, I won't regret my choices and you should do the same. Even if I were to die somewhere due to it, it is fine. I lived until for many years relying on myself alone and I will keep doing that until the day of my death."
