"....Did you have to make a decision without my input on it? Harsh."
"Huh?"
Shizaki's eyes slightly widened from that response.
After the rain subsided, the duo waited for the other duro to emerge from the forest as they stood at the border, and King made that sudden statement which sparked bewilderment from his compatriot.
"I thought…that you agreed?"
"I mean, yeah, I did, but half-heartedly after you spoke up first. It would be bad if you already instilled hope within those guys and then I snatched that away just a few seconds later because I didn't really feel like doing it."
"O-Oh. I just thought that-."
"That I would think the same, huh?"
"You….don't?"
Thinking that maybe King was truly intent on not helping the people of Komaia village, he raised that question.
