Enjoying The Drama?

Ashtarot, feeling sufficiently relaxed, rose from the hot spring. He didn't want to miss the ping pong game, even though he'd been banned from playing due to being labeled "too violent." Still, that didn't stop him from enjoying it as a spectator.

"Ah... I'm done too," Moloch said as he stood up, following Ashtarot, who was already grabbing a towel from the corner of the hot spring to dry off before heading to the locker room.

But before he could move further, he felt Kirzin clutching at his ankle. "Can you wait here until dawn?" his friend pleaded, desperation in his voice.

Moloch furrowed his brow. "What? No!" He shook his leg, trying to free himself from Kirzin's grip.

"If you're scared of them, maybe you shouldn't have slept with a married woman in the first place," he said flatly, pulling away and leaving him behind.

"Ck! You're all so cruel!!!" Kirzin shouted after them as they exited the hot spring.
