Conflict

On the roof at the night where Kei left the twin sister absurdly.

Tione is staring at the place where Kei had left them, longing for something that is showing in her eyes. Her legs turn weak and stranded on the ground.

From behind, Tiona walked past her and turned around. She gets her face closer to Tione while the latter tries to turn away.

"Are you alright?"

"..."

Tione couldn't answer the hurt truth to Tiona, if she tried to lie, Tiona would see through her and call it out.

"Why on earth did they come here?" Tione murmured letting her eyes seek through the night city below, Her hair blazing through the soft breeze.

"I know how you feel, but think about it not gonna do us any good." Tiona acted no different from her usual self despite Tione's concern, "Maybe they did just come sightseeing."

"It's Kali we're talking about! She wouldn't pose any reason if there weren't fighting involved!" Tione clarified to her sister, "They coming here is like knocking on our door to provoke us y'know!"

"Then what're we supposed to do? Kei told us that they are here because of recreation or something! Tell me what it is we can do! Do you want us to charge right at them?"

"That's not what I'm saying, you idiot! Stop putting words in my mouth! Besides you don't know what I feel right now."

"Of course, I don't, at least I don't have a hated person that looked the same as my favorite person."

Tione didn't answer Tiona, and the latter know she had just let her tongue say the wrong way.

Despite the twin shouting at each other in truth, they are caring for each other.

Having had enough, Tione turned her back on Tiona with an angry face. She marches past her back to the Inn. Their Familia members who looked at them knew that something had just happened to them.

Because it's unusual for them to argue, unlike their usual behavior. One of them would just let it pass if it was the usual.

…

At one of the restaurants on Melen.

Lunchtime has finished and right now Kali go in for tea time. It's been a while since we had free time in our schedule as almost every day is full of activity.

We move to the balcony area to seek beautiful scenery, Kali puts her hand on her cup and blows her tea before gulping it down slightly.

On another hand, it's been a long time since I had tea. Since I arrived in this world, there are no breaks for me, or else I would topple to the bottom of the wheel.

Free time becomes unfamiliar and I don't know what to do, fortunately, Kali orders me to create a plan for Tiona and Tione to separate from their Familia.

This free time lasted until tonight when we would meet the Ishtar Familia. It all happens one day in the past.

A few months ago, all of a sudden they sent a letter to Kali, the word inside the letter is only known by Kali herself.

After a few exchanges between them, Kali told me about the letter message in short.

Then they decide having a meet-up to discuss it in person as they felt it was better. From the letter, Kali said that Ishtar wants the Amazoness with their Amazonian warrior to help them to fight another Familia in that city.

When I heard the Familia's name, I was shocked. The reason was simple, it was an unachieved dream. A dream of the future even if all Amazonian warriors came to Orario, they wouldn't stand a chance.

The other Amazoness is in high spirits, but I am the only one who felt nervous. Because I am the only one who knows.

The Informant I caught at Telksyura brought me many pieces of information about Orario and the outside world in exchange for the story of our daily lives inside the territory of Telskyura.

It was a stupid and weird suggestion brought by him so I accept the deal and exchanged information. It made me more curious and also cautious at the same time.

At this time, I heard a ruckus outside from the balcony. Many people of the Amazoness are talking and shouting around making the area become noisy.

I wanted to go out of the balcony to look at what is happening, but at that time I saw Argana having a dispute with someone on the stall market below.

Argana has her hand on the person's neck, from her expression it seems like that person is challenging her to a fight.

I thought that she would kill the person on the spot, I let out a deep sigh, praying for the soul of that person, but it didn't happen. Another person appears in front of Argana.

And I know that person very well.

The door suddenly opened, and an Amazoness was full of sweat while catching her breath and sprinting toward me.

"Captain, Argana-"

"I know."

Before she could finish her words, I cut in. I glance at Kali sitting on the chair while sipping her tea.

Do we need to stop them? Or is this all of Kali's plan? I didn't know what to do while I am in deep thought and decide to ask Kali first.

"Do I need to intrude on them?" I asked for permission to break out of the battle from Kali.

Instead of panicking and making a hurried order, Kali takes her time to sip her tea before putting it down in slow motion. She stares at me with cold eyes and shows her grin.

"It's a nice show, why would you stop the action?"

For you, yes. But, not for me. I let out a sigh.

She gets up from her chair and starts walking toward the balcony area to seek a better view of the exchange between Argana and that person.

Is she planning all of this to happen when we arrived at Melen? If that is the case, actually how big is her plan?

I watched back at the Argana and they started to fight, beside me, Kali is showing her interest in the battle.

"Kei, you stop them when the owner arrives on the scene."

"...I understand."

With a heavy heart, I answer her.

Must she do this? She wanted this fight going until that person Familia Goddess arrived before she told me to stop them.

I blew away the bad thought about it and focused on the battle that occurs. Argana didn't hold back her power but the person could back up each other prowess and it became a stalemate for them.

Argana is one of the Amazonian warriors that reached level six, for that person to draw this battle means that person also has reached the same level as Argana.

Dungeon City Orario, the source of power is coming from there. The secret of becoming a powerful warrior that everyone-No, I envied.
