Unexpected Reunion

"So… What was the point of all that?" I asked as soon as we got out of the Discussion room.

Emilia stretched her arms contentedly, "Nnnggh! Didn't that feel good? Instead of just killing him, I made sure his life would be completely horrible from today onwards~

"That's cool, but… That still doesn't answer my question though?"

She turned to look at me, "What do you mean?"

I veered my throat, "I mean… You said you actually have people loyal to you within the Undertown right? So why couldn't we just ask them to help us with that Merrick guy instead of doing all this ourselves? They could have also helped us find the Grey Powder and the stuff he stole from us which would have eliminated the need for us to swim there ourselves?"

"Ehehehe~ Lady Aster is really cute~ Isn't Lady Aster cute, Miss Odeta?"

The Amrap huffed, "That goes without saying! Of course sister Aster is the cutest!"

Eh? Umm… I don't know where that came from but… Thanks?
