“Huh? Are you for real?” I asked, bewildered that he is suddenly so outspoken on his problem.
“Of course I am. I have no idea what to do with her.” He said while sounding a bit irritated. “Seriously, why do we even need to go down there? Got dis for that shit.”
“No idea, why is your sister even like that?” Trener said, about as confused as I am. “Like, I can see the thrill behind fighting monsters, but it’s not like the payout is worth the effort.”
“No idea. She’s being so weird about this. She wants to play and I co along because she might get in trouble, and she’s treating like a jackass, can you believe it?” In her defense, he isn’t one to be polite or gentle, so there might be so misunderstanding there. “Just once, I joined her out of the goodness of my heart and I got scorned for it. What am I supposed to do, man.”
“Hmm… Well at least you know to get soone else’s opinion for this awkward situation.” I just sorta say it to keep this conversation going.
“The hell are you insinuating?” He said, reading between the lines now of all tis.
“How about we try going into a massive group? I heard the Perfect Class is doing it a few tis.” Trener suggested. Would that really help with anything aside from just being a massive group intervention?
“...I don’t even know if she’s in the mood for sothing like that. Can you guys convince her in my stead? I have no luck on that front.” Seriously, why does Histon sound so defeated about this topic? He was never the one to not feel full of himself.
“That bad? I guess I could try…” Trener said, not promising anything definitive. Wouldn’t she figure out if soone who is his classmate made an odd request like that? Is there a way to go about this? Sothing that wouldn't be traced back to us imdiately?
“Why are we suddenly dealing with family drama anyway?” Rousi anwhile doesn’t seem to particularly care about this ordeal. I’d rather not get involved as well, but I’d also rather not ignore soone’s call for help. Unfortunately, I am not one for complex planning or thinking.
“Well. You guys can figure it out, I’m thinking about burning the calories off.” I said, walking off and aiming for the teleport pad. Ti to go to the training room and get that matchmaking going, that’ll help clear my mind of this predicant of my rude friend.
*Beep* *Shine*
Back here again, ti to put my stuff down, grab an axe, and then start up the system. Let’s see who I’m getting this ti.
“” Are you fucking kidding-
*Zoom*
“Oh? I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.” She said with a sadistic-looking smile on her. Just my luck to run into her again. That giant scythe on her might not be sharp as the real one, but it is still a rather intimidating weapon. “Let’s see how long you’ll last this ti.”
“Wait, hold on!” I blurted out, feeling very nervous but sothing just ca to my mind! “Can I ask you sothing?”
“Hmm…” She seems interested in what she probably thinks is a very audacious act. “If you satisfy , then perhaps I’ll hear you out.”
“” Well, that gives so motivation, at least. “”
The barrier lowered and the fight truly began!
*Dash* *Clash* *Clang* *Block* *Parry*
“Ugh!” Just how long am I supposed to keep this up exactly? Each strike I have to intercept makes it feel like my arms are gonna crack! I need to change my approach quickly. What have I never done during our battle that might catch her off-guard? I need to do sothing risky if I actually want her cooperation!
*Dash* *Evade*
“Get back here!” She said like a madwoman, running at with the giant weapon like an over-the-top slasher villain. Co on, think of sothing! You can’t run forever!
*Leap*
She’s jumping right at ! Is she crazy? That’s so heavily telegraphed that I could probably counter her.
*Evade* *Swing* *Parry*
“What!?” She reacted way too quickly and swung her weapon back at , making almost lose my footing. That counter-swing is way too strong for to adjust to!
*Leap*
Before she could try hitting again, I jumped to the other side of the field. Damn it. While her movents are rather predictable, her reaction speed is too fast for my attack to hit. I need a different approach!
*Leap*
She’s jumping right at again! I need to do sothing different… How about-!
*Evade* *Punch*
I dodged the incoming attack and instead of swinging my axe which might be too slow to connect this ti as well, I hit her with a left hook to the face. I can even see her expression shift into one of surprise.
*Swing* *Evade*
Using that brief mont of vulnerability, I clumsily swung my axe using my right hand towards her, but she retreated before it could connect.
At this point I need to be even more unorthodox or even impractical!
*Throw* *Dash* *Swat*
I threw my axe at her and she swatted it away with her weapon, occupying just enough ti for to close the gap!
*Grab* *Leap*
I grabbed the axe that was flung away as I kept running and using all the strength in my legs to close the remaining gap between the two of us.
*Swing* *Block*
I did an overhead swing that she blocked with the handle of the scythe, using only my right hand to hold onto the weapon while the left-!
*Swing* *Grab*
“Ah.” She then grabbed my left arm before the attack could connect. I know full well that a similar trick might not work, but I didn’t expect her to anticipate it!
*Swing* *Crash* *Swing* *Slam*
“Argh!” She swung around like a ragdoll! It hurts everyti my body hits the ground or the barrier, and at so point I lose the grip on my axe.
*Kick*
And a kick to the stomach sending flying, rolling on the ground and barely able to even feel my body being there at all… I should at least try to stay conscious…
“Didn’t expect you to pull out that move, now of all tis.” She remarked, stopping her advance and just stood there as if mocking . I would like to stand back up and stare at her defiantly, but my body is in too much pain to really do that.
“What the hell does that an?” I asked, just to at least acknowledge that I can still reply back.
“Your fighting style has been straight-forward and rather predictable. I’ve been taking it easy since I thought you were going to keep it up, but it seems I was wrong, you did learn to adapt.” She explained. So she was going easy on thinking I can barely improve? I should be mad about this, but this is such an absurd circumstance anyway, and I have sothing more important to fuss over… Wait. I should say my piece quickly!
“Hey, so can we talk afterward?” I don’t have enough ti to say everything here, but this will be enough for now.
“Very well, it seems like you may have sothing fun in mind.” She said with a smirk on her… Maybe this isn’t the best idea?
*Shine* *Zoom*

“...You don’t quite get it?” I asked, having no idea what she ant.
“” Kenni said, not really giving a good idea of what to expect. “”
“” Malk remarked. She usually doesn't interact with that many people. Now she’s here making fools out of a lot of people. “But we already went over this. She now has a way to indulge in her… desire, I guess you could say.>”
“” Kenni doesn’t mince her words at all. “”
“” Useph asked. I have no idea how it will all work out, so I’ll keep my mouth shut for now.
“” Kenni asked. Isn’t she the one who has been keeping it quiet for a while now?
“” Qyunda quickly deflected the question back at her.
“” She replied with an exaggerated tone… You know, she and Emmie are similar in that regard, it’s just that Emmie takes herself more seriously. “”
“” Malk starts recounting the suspicious things she has been doing. She has been sighted at other dungeons, and obviously we’re gonna take notice of that since that kind of topic cos up often.
“” She responded before we could even get to the second point.
“” Now honestly, we don’t really care if she did that as long as there weren't any permanent life-changing injuries, and how that guy told it you’d think most of his body would’ve been liquified by now, or rather, he’d just be flat out dead.
“” She denied this one as well, but let’s be real here, it’s hard to believe a guy like that even if he was speaking the truth.
