Chapter 25 - 25-Disagreements

It's been two minutes and thirty seconds since the Hidden Observatory's ray hit Yumi and Shouta.

Fujimoto – (from what it's showing, the effect of the power lasts for three minutes, so it won't be long before it ends.)

Yumi and Shouta then faint, but soon after they wake up. The two realize that they are only wearing their underwear and tied to trees. Yumi is terrified and furious at the same time.

Yumi – Get me out of here, you bastard!!!

Fujimoto – Try to calm down so we can negotiate.

Shouta then looks at Yumi and then at himself.

Shouta – Yumi, we're only wearing our underwear.

Yumi despairs.

Yumi – You bastard!!! And on top of that, you're a pervert!!!

Fujimoto – (With her yelling and interrupting me, I won't be able to say anything.)

Fujimoto then takes a piece of tape out of his pants pocket, Fujimoto then covers Yumi's mouth with the tape. Fujimoto then takes a breath.

Fujimoto – Shouta, can I negotiate with you?

Yumi then shakes her head from side to side, indicating to Shouta not to negotiate with Fujimoto.

Shouta – I accept.

Yumi gets furious.

Yumi – hmmmhmm.

Fujimoto – apparently that purple ray is a succubus power, by the way, about the kiss, I would like to apologize for the kiss that Yumi gave me.

Shouta – neither you nor Yumi need to apologize about the kiss, after all, she was under the effect of the power and you ended up being caught by surprise because you didn't know that she was under the effect of your power.

Fujimoto – even so, I apologize again to you and especially to Yumi.

Shouta – Okay, now you could get us out of here and give us our clothes back.

Fujimoto – There's a little problem with the clothes.

Shouta – What?

Fujimoto – I threw them in the river, the river must have already taken them.

Yumi and Shouta are shocked by what they hear.

Yumi – Hmmmmmmm.

Shouta – So Yumi and I will have to go shopping for clothes wearing only our underwear.

Fujimoto – Unfortunately, yes.

Shouta – But could you untie us now?

Fujimoto – I still need to know something.

Fujimoto goes to Yumi and takes the tape off her mouth, Yumi spits in Fujimoto's face.

Shouta – Yumi, you idiot, stop being stupid.

Fujimoto then looks at Shana.

Fujimoto – Why were you monitoring me and my group? I don't think the target is me.

Yumi – Shana Demonic is the one I'm watching.

Fujimoto – But why watch Shana?

Yumi – Derek, who is the vice-leader of the demonic kingdom, asked Galadriel to put someone to protect Shana. Galadriel assigned me this job.

Fujimoto – I understand, I'll untie you now.

Fujimoto then unties Yumi and Shouta. Shouta then goes to hug Yumi, but she blushes and moves away.

Shouta – You don't need to apologize, Yumi, I still love you.

Yumi then becomes happy.

Yumi – That's why I love you, Shouta. I just don't like the fact that I gave that idiot Fujimoto his first kiss.

Fujimoto – I need to tell you some confidential information.

Yumi and Shouta are confused.

Fujimoto – Koharu is the heir of the angelic ones.

Yumi is shocked.

Yumi – Is Koharu the daughter of Seraphine Angelic?

Fujimoto then throws some cloaks.

Fujimoto – Use them to cover yourselves.

Shouta – Okay.

Yumi and Shouta put on the cloaks.

Yumi – Idiot, I'm still mad about what happened, but I'm going to take you back to Lilibel.

Yumi and Shouta then take Fujimoto to Lilibel.

Yumi – Now let's say goodbye, I'm going to buy clothes with Shouta.

Shouta – Hey Fujimoto, did you keep our coins?

Fujimoto – Yes, but I'm going to give them back.

Fujimoto then gives the coins back.

Fujimoto – Even with the disagreements we had, I'm grateful that you saved me, now I'm going to put my group in order.

Fujimoto then says goodbye to Yumi and Shouta, Fujimoto then goes to the adventurers' house. Arriving there, Fujimoto goes up the stairs and goes towards Koharu's room. There he finds Koharu, the two talk about everything.

Koharu – So what should we do about Shana?

Fujimoto – Let's get everyone together, but only discuss the matter when she's there.

Koharu – It's up to you, but I think it's risky.

Fujimoto then gathered Max, Cassandra and Kairo in his room.

Max – Fujimoto, how did you manage to escape from the enemy?

Fujimoto notices that Cassandra has a sad expression.

Fujimoto – Let's wait for Shana to wake up and then I'll tell you everything.

Shana then enters Fujimoto's room. She seemed sleepy because of the medicine Koharu gave her.

Shana – Fujimoto died and you're all gathered in his room as a form of mourning?

Shana then gets a fright when she sees Fujimoto.

Fujimoto – Surprised to see me, Shana?

Shana – How did you manage to come back alone?!

Everyone is surprised by Shana's behavior, except for Koharu and Fujimoto, who already knew everything.

Fujimoto – The one who rescued me was the elf who was in charge of watching over you and protecting you.

Shana starts to tremble.

Shana – (If what I did is included in the report, my morals that I'm trying to build will be thrown away.)

Fujimoto – Don't worry, I asked her not to mention this in the report.

Shana – Who is she?!

Fujimoto – She asked me not to tell her name, but she'll show up soon.

Max – What's going on?

Shana – Don't you dare tell!

Fujimoto – Everyone should know the truth, especially Max.

Fujimoto tells the information he had about Shana's plan and actions. Suddenly, silence takes over the place, Max has a furious expression.

Max – True love is bullshit, you don't love anyone Shana.

Shana then looks downcast.

Shana – I'm sorry.

Max goes to Kairo and punches him in the face.

Fujimoto – Max!

Kairo – Don't worry Fujimoto, I deserve it.

Max goes to Shana, Fujimoto and Cassandra hold Max.

Shana scoffs.

Shana – How ugly, wanting to hit a defenseless woman.

Koharu then slaps Shana on the left side of her face with her right hand.

Koharu – I'm a woman, so I can hit you.

Shana looks furiously at Koharu.

Shana – Damn you!

Max – Fujimoto, kick this damn bitch out of the group, if you don't do it I'm leaving.

Shana starts to cry.

Shana – Max, I'm sorry, I messed up, let's try to start over.

Max – Fujimoto!

Fujimoto lowers his head.

Fujimoto – Please, Max, don't leave.

Max – So that's it, you're either a coward or a fool to keep this filth in the group.

Kairo – Max, I'd like to apologize for what happened.

Max – Shut up!

Max then opens the bedroom door, Fujimoto holds Max. Fujimoto starts to cry.

Fujimoto – Please stay here, Max.

Max knocks Fujimoto to the floor and leaves.

Kupi – Guys, I'm going with Max so I can help him on his journey.

The little dragon Kupi then accompanies his friend Max.

Koharu – Are you satisfied with what you did, Shana?!!!

Koharu then notices that Shana is sitting on the floor in tears.

Cassandra – Let's each go to our rooms to rest our minds, besides, Kairo wanted to apologize for judging you.

Kairo – Actually, I should apologize to everyone here.

Fujimoto – Let's each go to our rooms, refresh our minds, then we'll think of a way to convince Max to come back.

Then each one goes to their rooms.
