Friendship Over
Right after Fumiko kissed my cheek, everything is back in motion again. Maurice widens his eyes at me.
"Whose name did you just say, boy?" he asks me.
This can't be good. He's like a whale ready to devour me. I've had enough of whales.
"Let's just get this over with," Zuriel says as he raises his hand and clenches it. Maurice is instantly restrained by blue crystal chains that came from the ground. The chains are draining his strength until he kneels. "By the way, where did you get that scarf?"
He's referring to this itchy black scarf around my neck that Fumiko gave me. Ugh, this thing! I almost forgot to remove it.
"From her," I say in a way that shows my disgust. I remove it from my neck and keep it in my inventory because it looks ugly.
"That's nice," he remarks. "Now, do we need to keep him alive?"
"Hey!" our prisoner weakly yells at us but we choose to ignore him.
I say, "His bounty is over 1 million, so he has to be killed."
