Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The final member

"It's time for you two to stop." Satoshi freezes completely in place. His face filled with panic at the presence of someone who had just appeared.

"Lilith, I didn't expect you to be here, heh heh," Satoshi says nervously. He backs up slightly. Aevum walks back into the room after hearing all the yelling stop. Dai'chi and Iori look at Lilith, confused about who she is.

"Thanks, I guess, for stopping Satoshi." She says, not knowing how to react to her. Dai'chi is still trying to process what just happened, the effects of getting hit on the head so many times becoming more and more apparent.

"You're wasting my precious time that I could be spending on something more important, like spending it with Jesse. But no, you just had to be a complete maniac," She says, punching Satoshi on the back He gets slammed into the ground. Jesse says hello from a distance.

"I'm sorry, um, Lilith, but I still don't know who you are," Iori says. She looks closely and looks at Lily for a few seconds. "Wait, I think I've seen you going around the base before.

"Uh, but who is this. She seems familiar, but I don't know where I know her from," Dai'chi says, confused. He tilts his head side to side. "Why do you seem so familiar?"

Lilith sighs, "You should know me, I'm literally Jesse's wife. How the hell do you not remember me? Especially because I always sta-" She says, but Jesse covers her mouth before she can finish.

"Ohhh, yeah, I remember you now," Dai'chi says as he finally realizes. "That would explain why you look so familiar to me. But why are you here?"

Satoshi then chimes in, standing up. "She's been a member of the Crusaders quite a long time. Though it makes sense that only Aevum, Jesse, and I would know that, considering Iori never met her after Lily joined." He cracks his back. "I'm definitely going to feel that later." Lily looks over at him, annoyed. 

"Well, we're going to leave now since there is no reason to stay here right now," Jesse says. Dai'chi looks at him worried and points at Satoshi, who is pouring another glass of wine. Jesse walks up to him and slaps the wine out of his hand, while Lily just straight up slaps him. "No more wine."

"Damn it, I can't drink anymore," Satoshi says, disappointed. He sits on the floor and starts poking a green paladin plushie with a stick. Jesse and Lily teleport away. "That was the last bottle I had," Satoshi says, still disappointed about his wine being confiscated. Despite that, he still pulls out another bottle and starts chugging it. 

Iori and Aevum sigh. Dai'chi goes on to speak, "I forgot to tell you that I also go by the name Mysterio Ninja when in battle or on a mission." Iori gives him a thumbs-up. "I also needed to ask, but which room is mine? I noticed that the hallway seems to have no end to it, so I was wondering how I am supposed to find it," Dai'chi says.

Iori points up to the second story. "Just go down that hallway a bit and choose whatever room you want. Just make sure that nobody is currently using it," Iori says.

"Also, there are a few rooms down the hallway on the first story that you could use as a lab or something. The first two rooms are used by Satoshi. The second one on the left is my lab, the one on the right is my potion storage. The first two rooms, the other direction, are Iori's forage, as you know, and something else that I forgot. The door over here, next to the kitchen and pantry, leads downstairs. There are a few more rooms, but at the bottom, you won't be able to get through the door," Aevum says. "There is also a storage area on ground level below us, but you have to go outside to access it."

"Ok, I'll go choose a room, thanks for telling me," Iori heads back into her forge. Aevum teleports away. Dai'chi runs up the stairs and walks down the hallway, and chooses a room. " I guess this is where I will be staying for the foreseeable future." He walks into the room and closes the door behind himself
