“What are they doing?” Whispered one of the women of Titan’s Fall.
“Still playing.”
“It’s so hot. I want to play.”
“I even brought a swimsuit. Let’s go swim Alysia!”
“Stop whining, you guys! We’re on a mission!” Alysia growled.
“Eh? I thought we were just spying on your boyfriend.”
“He-he’s not my boyfriend!” She cried out. “And besides… he hasn’t shown. In fact, it’s not even clear if he’s still…”
She looked away, a worried expression on her face.
“Come on, you know he was resurrected just like the rest of us. After what he did to Fort Pride, this country probably gave him a medal!”
I couldn’t help but make a face at that. It’d have been nice if I got a medal! It was still weird seeing these girls who I had last been fighting to the death against. They were currently in their Dungeon Diving armor, but they looked really hot and uncomfortable.
“You heard the rumors. A giant fireball from the sky came and obliterated a tower! It’s the same thing that took out Fort Pride! That’s his schtick!”
“W-we don’t know if it was Deek who did that!” Alysia defended, her cheeks turning pink. “That’s why the King ordered us to find out if Aberis has some new kind of weapon.”
“They do! And he pushed our leader down… gluh!”
Alysia had punched the woman in the gut before shooting the other’s a glare. “I said already! He defeated me in battle, but it didn’t mean anything. He’s an enemy of the crown. We can never be together.”
“So sweet…”
“The power of your love will definitely blast through the discretions of our people. It’ll be Alysia and Deek against the world!”
“Oh, no… she’s back to fantasizing again.”
“It’s those novels she reads.”
“Two swords, back-to-back… battling against Aberis and the Republic, tearing down the walls of oppression all so that they can finally marry!” The girl started gesturing wildly as she narrated.
“Will you shut her up? She’ll give away our position!”
Two of the girls had grabbed the narrating girl and covered her mouth, although her eyes were still bright like the story was still going on in her head. At this point, Alysia was completely red.
“We don’t know if the presence of Deek’s Party is associated with the destruction of Calypso’s Tower. Frankly, I can’t believe even Deek has such strength, but if he does…” Alysia’s words were serious, and a somber atmosphere filled the group.
“What if Deek is the source of that power? What are our orders?”
“We’re to capture him if at all possible,” Alysia said the words sadly. “If we fail, we’re to await further orders.”
“Further orders? Like… a kill command?”
“…” Alysia didn’t meet their eyes, but her meaning was clear.
“We follow you m’lady, whatever you choose.”
“Wh-what are you suggesting?” Alysia looked up with a shocked expression.
“If you wish to go against his orders. Titan’s Fall will follow Alysia!” The girls were all nodding with firm expressions on their face.
“I-it hasn’t even come to that! All we know is that his party appeared at the source of two large fireball attacks. We won’t act until we confirm!” Alysia said and then whispered under her breath as she looked out at the group of girls. “Dummy… if you really were that strong, why did you pretend to be so weak?”
As she stared out at the party of girls, I watched the group while trying to figure out what to do next. It seemed like we were all in a pickle.
