Chapter 39 - 39-Reunions

Kairo can't believe what he's hearing and starts to cry.

Kairo – I don't understand, Ros knew that Melissa is a bad person and that she hurt me and Cassandra a lot...

Kairo then screams.

Kairo – Why did Ros want us to talk to that wretch!!!

Grinn then hits his sword on the ground, causing a small impact and tremor.

Grinn – Don't worry, I only made an impact, the ground is intact.

Grinn sighs.

Grinn – I understand why you two hate Melissa, but I won't tolerate you raising your voice and insulting the queen.

Kairo tries to retort, but is interrupted by Grinn.

Grinn – If you want to criticize her or tell her everything she did to you in the past, feel free, as king I will listen, but if you're just going to insult her, then I'll have to arrest you.

Fujimoto – We're sorry about that.

Then someone appears and says there's no need to arrest them.

Kairo – (I know that voice.)

Everyone looks back.

Kairo – Melissa!!!

Kairo's eyes are furious.

Fujimoto, Koharu, Shana and Max are enchanted by the queen's beauty.

Max – (She's beautiful.)

Koharu – (She's beautiful, and she seems to behave well.)

Shana – (There's something strange about her.)

Fujimoto – (She looks just like Cassandra.)

Melissa – It's been a while, Kairo. I'd like to apologize for everything I've caused you.

Kairo starts laughing.

Kairo – Hahaha!!!

Grinn - I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Melissa – No need, because I was expecting that reaction from Kairo, but that's not why I came here.

Grinn – So you want to give them the news now?

Melissa – Yes.

Everyone is confused.

Grinn – Cassandra and Kairo, the Knight of Judgment found out that you are here, he wants a fight against the strongest member of your group.

Fujimoto then laughs.

Kairo – What are you laughing at?

Fujimoto – He must think we are strong and wants a fight to test our skills.

Cassandra and Kairo are desperate.

Cassandra – We have seen him once before, we were in the city of Gorgozo, suddenly the city was attacked by a group of criminals, suddenly the Knight of Judgment appeared and punished the thieves and murderers.

Fujimoto – Did he kill the thieves and murderers?

Cassandra – No, but I bet they would have preferred to have died.

Fujimoto – Why?

Kairo – The Knight of Judgment left some without arms, others without legs and some even lost some important parts of their bodies.

Fujimoto, Koharu, Shana and Max are shocked.

Kairo – In short, the bigger the crime, the bigger the trial will be. Lucky for me and Cassandra, he didn't see us.

Fujimoto – Hey Grinn, how will the confrontation work?

Grinn – He asked you to choose a stronger member of your group.

Fujimoto – (Oh shit, Shana can't use her transformation because she might be discovered, our best option is Max.)

Fujimoto – Max, could you fight the Knight of Judgment?

Max – (This is my chance to show that I can be a leader.)

Max then smiles.

Max – Of course I can, tomorrow we'll win.

Kairo – You're too confident.

Melissa – Do you want to sleep in the palace or is there already a place to sleep here in the city of Omeron?

Cassandra then makes a disgusted expression and looks at Melissa.

Cassandra – Let's look for a house where we can stay tonight, because knowing that I'm sleeping in the same place as you would make me sick.

Melissa – I understand, you know what's best for you.

Cassandra – Besides, I don't want to see your face tomorrow.

Melissa – Okay.

Team Fujimoto is leaving the palace.

Grinn – Are you sad that you can't tell her the truth?

Melissa – Yes, but I think that even if she knew the truth, she would still hate me, because I did unforgivable things to her and Kairo.

Team Fujimoto managed to find a place to sleep tonight.

Kairo – Unfortunately, the place only had three rooms available and each room only has two beds. We'll have to divide it up again.

Fujimoto – How about we draw lots again to make it fair?

Everyone agrees.

Fujimoto – I picked Max.

Koharu – I picked Cassandra.

Shana – So I'm going to pair up with Kairo.

Kairo – Now let's go to sleep, because today was a busy day and we need to be well rested for tomorrow.

So each pair goes to their room.

Fujimoto – You're really nervous, this is already the second glass of water you've had.

Max – I'm also drinking to hydrate myself, do you want a glass of water too?

Fujimoto – Okay.

Max – (Now I have to drug him, then I'll go to the room where Koharu and Cassandra are, Koharu will certainly help me manipulate Cassandra, then I'll have her in the palm of my hand.)

Max – Fujimoto, here's the water.

Fujimoto – (weird, for some reason Max's aura seems to be full of evil, it must just be my impression.)

Fujimoto – thanks.

Fujimoto then drinks the water.

Fujimoto – I think I'm going to sleep, I'm feeling really tired.

Fujimoto then lies down on the bed and sleeps.

Max – such a jerk.

Max then leaves the room. Max then sees Shana in the hallway. The two look at each other.

Shana – where are you going?

Max – (of all people.)

Max – to the bathroom.

Shana – I understand, I also want to use the bathroom, so let's go there together.

Max – (what the hell.)

Max – okay.

Shana and Max go down to the bathroom door.

Max – can I go first, because I'm tight.

Shana – yes.

Max finishes using it and leaves.

Max – now it's your turn.

Shana finishes using it and leaves.

Suddenly Shana says something while they are going up.

Shana – I can't sleep, I ended up waking Kairo up, because I'm afraid you'll get hurt tomorrow.

Max – (She's not serious.)

Shana then gives Max a kiss on the mouth.

Shana – Get well tomorrow.

Max – (What's that feeling, her words seemed sincere.)

Shana – (I think I still love him.)

Each one goes back to their room. The next day they wake up.
