''Pretending not to understand? Ah..no..or maybe you didn't realize when you did it?'' he said while looking at me sharply.
"Don't you feel strange? Even though we've only just met, it's as if I'm going to give you my world? No matter how you look at it, it's very illogical," he said.
!?!..he..realized the love cheat skill!?...unbelievable
"But yeah... *GREP!!... my next attack won't miss. Besides, breaking your twig-like bones isn't that difficult," he said and quickly strangled me with his hands.
"But I have to admit... your skills are really scary... human," he said with a grin.
.....he realized it...that love cheat skill..for the first time...
*he was the first to notice it* I thought to myself while looking at him with a happy look and smiling
''!?!....why are you even smiling'' said Zev who was so shocked that he let go of his hand
"Ah..solly..(sorry)" I said while covering my mouth.
''lia..cenang..(happy)'' I said
''Huh?''
''Calena Zev is the filst to know about this cekill (because Zev is the first to be aware of this skill)'' I said.
''...lia cenang...habis na celalu di lied to by this fake love by this cekil (lia is happy...after all this time lia has always been lied to by fake love by this skill)''
"And Zev is the filst to be sepalated from this skill (and Zev is the first to be separated from this skill) I continued while smiling happily
I'm happy..at least there's one person who really shows his true feelings to me.well..even if it ends up getting me killed ahaha..
''...are you aware of this skill of yours?'' he asked.
''um!... this capi is a passive cekil..lia nda bica contol na (but this is a passive skill, lia can't control it) '' I replied
''....that is a very terrifying skill..''
"Lia knows... Lia doesn't want this either," I continued
"If you're like that, you don't mind if I get rid of you, right? Besides, you already know you'll become a terrifying figure," said Zev while taking out his claws.
''..... um'' I nodded
"Lia knows... but Zev won't be able to kill Lia," I said while looking at him seriously.
''huh?''
*SRING!!! Suddenly a sword was aimed at Zev's neck and made Zev immediately freeze.
"What does this mean...Zev...it turns out you really intend to betray us," said Blaze.
"I thought you shouldn't have come with us," Blaze continued, then tried to kill Zev, but Zev immediately blocked Blaze's attack with his magic and quickly kept his distance from us, even though his neck was scratched by Blaze's sword.
''....you came faster than I thought,'' said Zev while wiping the blood on his neck.
''My sister is alone in the fog. Of course I have to come back soon,'' said Blaze.
''You..so you too...!?..no..this is purely your will, isn't it?..'' muttered Zev
''huh?. What are you talking about, bastard?'' said Blaze then tried to attack Zev.
And Zev continued to dodge every one of Blaze's attacks while trying to counter his attacks whenever there was an opening.
***
Blaze
Damn... his movements are so fast. Honestly, cornering him is incredibly difficult, but I can't give up. If I stop swinging my sword, he'll kill Lia instantly. No matter what, I won't let him get close to Lia.
''why..'' Zev muttered while avoiding my attack
''huh?''
"What makes you fight so hard for her? Even though she doesn't control you," said Zev.
''Huh??... what are you talking about?..'' ''Does it look that strange if I fight to protect my own sister?'' I said while pointing my sword at him.
''And what do you mean by controlled? Even without that, I will definitely protect Lia,' I continued while attacking her again
"I don't understand," he replied while avoiding my attack.
''Even though you have no reason to. She also won't give you anything in return. Her body is weak, one touch will definitely kill her. She can only stand still and watch your death without being able to do anything. A weak, helpless creature. I don't understand what makes you_''
"YOU TALK A LOT!" I interrupted.
''Do I need a reason to protect her!? She's my sister! My family! Because she's weak, that's why as an older brother I have to protect her. Making her happy is my wish. For that reason, I don't need a reason!'' I exclaimed, then slashed her cheek and made her distance herself from me.
"You're the one who's weird! You were the one who decided to follow us, but now you're planning to kill us. You should ask yourself! You have no reason to be with us. Then why don't you just leave! We won't interfere in your life either," I said.
.... ''right.. why ..''*SRING!! *THUMB!
''Finally...'' I thought after I managed to corner him and make him unable to move anymore.
"Hosh... hosh... if she dies I have no purpose anymore..." he said while looking at me.
''But I don't want to be controlled by her... but if she dies I have no purpose anymore...'' he repeated
This dog is really weird. His brain is weird..
"You think too much, why don't you just do what you want. Stop thinking about unnecessary things!" I exclaimed.
"But of course... I won't let you touch my sister," I continued, bringing my sword closer to his neck.
''baze!, stop!'' shouted rosalia
''!?..lia?''
"Lia, don't come near him, he's dangerous," I said.
''Lia knows.. but. Baze can't kill him..'' said Rosalia
"Why?" I asked
"I hope you can't mess with him... ," replied Rosalia
!?!...
''..she's too naive'' said Zev then kicked me which created distance between us and in that short time he immediately ran towards Lia who was holding her hostage.
''!?! LIA!''
***
Rosalia
''You're too naive. If he killed me, you wouldn't be like this,'' Zev whispered.
''Lia knows..'' I replied
''capi... lia nda acan bialkan au mengotoli baze.. (but lia won't let you dirty blaze's hands)'' I continued
''... so you let yourself get killed just to clean his hands?..ahaha.. how naive. Besides I'm sure he's killed people before,'' said Zev.
That's not wrong...Blaze's hands aren't that clean...but...
''inya peltama calinya baze memununyuh emannya..(This is the first time Blaze wants to kill his friend) I said
They had just met, but... even so, this was also the first time I had seen Blaze look so happy adventuring with his peers. Even though he himself wouldn't admit it, maybe Blaze was starting to like Zev as a friend.
''LIA DON'T SAY THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE. HE'S NOT MY FRIEND!'' Blaze exclaimed after hearing what I just said.
Ugh...blaze you destroyed my expectations too fast
''You heard. We are not friends,'' Zev replied.
.... ''mesci beitu alian ampak ekat cebeumna (even so, weren't you two quite close before)'' ''then.. if baze nda anggap zev ceman. zev asci udah maci.(then if blaze didn't consider zev a friend. blaze would have killed zev a long time ago and not just kept talking to him)'' I said
After all, the Blaze I knew was someone who would kill without saying much. But when he cornered Zev earlier, he should have killed him immediately, but Blaze didn't. There must be a reason... because Blaze isn't someone who listens to his enemies.
''if that's the case... earlier I just...''
''...friend..''Zev muttered
''!?..huh!?. Don't get too big-headed! I will never consider someone who wants to kill my little sister as my friend,'' said Blaze while pointing at Zev.
Blaze, what's with that attitude? You look like a girl who just fell in love.
"I know that," Zev replied, then pushed me towards Blaze.
''eh?''
"I also have no intention of being friends with you," replied Zev.
''But...''
"But?" Blaze asked while hugging me.
''watching you guys die slowly during the journey doesn't seem so bad''
''HE'S ACTUALLY A PSYCHOPATH, RIGHT!'' Blaze exclaimed.
''ahaha..''
.... '' cami nda acan maci, (we will not die)'' ''cebelum kami capai lumah cami nda acan maci (before we reach home we will not die)'' I said with a gentle smile
''lia..'' ''RIGHT!. We will come home safely so we won't die'' said Blaze while hugging me tightly
"Then I will check it myself," replied Zev.
"Does that mean you'll follow us again?" asked Blaze.
''Correct''
''You think I'll allow it?''
"Even without your permission, I will still do it," Zev replied quickly.
''HUH!?!''
''...zev.'' I called
"Why did you decide to join again?" I asked.
''I told you to watch you die slowly during the journey'' he replied
''mm calau begicu, kica jadi tim lagi? (then we'll be team again huh?)'' I asked
"I don't agree. He can betray us whenever he wants," Blaze replied.
... "You... if you want to come with us, you have to promise to work with us," said Blaze while glancing at Zev.
"I don't want to take the risk and be betrayed in the middle of the road," he continued.
''If you can't do it. We'll solve our problem here now,'' said Blaze while staring at Zev sharply.
.... it's true. Letting Zev get involved in the current situation is very dangerous. If you really want to end our relationship, it's better to do it now than to hold on to false hope.
''I told you I'm not interested in you_''
"If you can't be a friend or a partner, then there's no reason for us to let you come along. Please get out of here," Blaze interrupted.
''We don't know what the future holds. There might be a time when I'll leave Lia, I just don't want to take the risk of giving you that chance,'' Blaze continued.
''because of that..'' said Blaze while drawing his sword again
''Let's just finish it here..'' said Blaze
''..... don't want to'' replied Zev which made us jump
''Huh?!''
"I don't have any more energy to fight with you," he replied while turning his face away.
"... I also don't want to die in this foggy forest, that's why following you guys is the most logical thing," he continued.
''Then you followed us just for your safety, right?'' Blaze exclaimed.
"Yes... besides, you also need my eyes to get out of here. And I need your strength to fight in the future..." said Zev then approached Blaze
''Then just consider this a temporary stopgap. "Just until we get out of here," said Zev
''I will not betray you here. Because I also don't want to die. Isn't that enough?'' said Zev.
.... ''just until we get out of here. After that stay away from us'' said blaze
"Okay," Zev replied, then walked past us.
..... is this really enough?
''lia..'' called blaze then carried me
''Are you okay?'' asked Blaze
"Um..Lia, it's okay."
''capi.. baze yacin?(blaze sure?)'' I asked
''...not really, but he's right. We can't get out of this fog without his eyes either, yeah.. though I'm not sure if he can really cooperate anymore..'' said Blaze while hugging me tightly
...blaze...he's scared.. what.... he's scared of being betrayed again...
If I don't make Zev decide soon, Blaze will be on high alert...
The mission to tame the raging dog... I have to finish it quickly so that our trip can be smooth and safe.
