TEASER CHAPTER 5 PART 14
Mars' POV
Tommy,
Cami, and I continued walking in the dim forest. The task Nozomu suggested was
to collect Regina's flowers.
Regina
flowers are used as the raw material for potions, and mixing this flower nectar
with potions will significantly increase the potion's effectiveness. However,
this nectar is not something that can last long and will deteriorate within a
few days after the flowers are picked.
Well,
in addition to its effectiveness, he chose this flower because it is an
easy-to-carry item. I can see how much Nozomu takes mobility issues into
account.
"...Hey,
will they be okay?"
"...Well,
I was worried about that too... It couldn't be helped since Jin said he had to
do this..."
"...It
doesn't really matter, and that's because we have to cooperate with you
guys."
Tommy
and Cami who were following behind were muttering sharp words. Maybe they're
talking about Nozomu. Hearing their sharp words made me instinctively speak to
the two of them in a harsh tone.
They
both looked at my face awkwardly. Their attitude made me even more annoyed.
"Generally
speaking, it was you guys who brought the stories. I wonder because of whom
that we couldn't unify our intentions properly. Isn't it because of your
leader?"
""
!! ""
Their
leader. Was he named Jin? Cami and Tommy glared at me, perhaps because they
thought I was ridiculing them. Perhaps, this damn Cami gets so angry because of
my words, she looked at me as if I was pierced by her dagger. Hee, I thought
she was scared, but it seems that she still has the courage.
"Fuu~.
So, you still have a bit of pride in you..."
“…Don't make fun of
me. We're not as good as Mars, but we still have the pride that we're still
students of this school…”
"That's
right! Then, how about you? It seems you have a lot of faith in Nozomu, but can
you keep your attitude like that? When we come back and they have been wiped
out, then our conversation will stop here."
These
guys, Tommy and Cami, charged towards me as they didn't want to give in. Good.
With this, there's a meaning for us to work together.
"What
are you saying. You should have seen a part of his ability in the last mock
battle. Nozomu and I are seriously going to win. So, will you guys show me your
strength instead?"
I
dare to say it to the two of them in a provocative tone. If they're the type of
person who can't do this much, then, I'll have to reject them from here.
"Bring
it on! I'll show you, so peel your eyeballs and take a closer look!"
Cami
declared so strongly and Tommy continued to glare at me while confronting my
gaze from the front. After I was satisfied with their attitude, we started
walking again.
I
glanced over my shoulder at the two following behind me. The two of them had
more rugged facial expressions than before, but their morale seemed to have
increased. It seems my ridicule lingers in their minds.
(Well,
I can expect a little from them)
