Chapter 84: Thoughts of the Matter (1)
On the seventh floor within room ''706'', Shinto and Ethaniel silently lied down on the two beds respectively, whilst the lights were off.
While they did so, Shinto nky stared at the ceiling whilst Ethaniel was asleep.
"..."
"...tch," Hearing a scruffling sound from the side of Shinto, his eyes turned to look over to the direction, seeing Ethaniel facing him. "Hey. you can''t get a shut-eye?"
"No, not at all. At this point I might as well just log off," he sighed. "The words from that attendant left me hanging."
"That stuff she said?" Ethaniel asked. "It''s just a bunch of bullshit at this point."
"...what do you think is the meaning behind her words?"
"How am I supposed to know?" he clicked his tongue. "The people here are all so damn confusing!"
"...right," Shinto sighed.
Thinking back on the matter on the sixth floor...
"Though, I will only say one thing regarding this. Take it however as you may," Amy said solemnly.
"...and what is it?" Shinto questioned. "Do you have something to say that will sway us to join you?"
"Hmm, perhaps. But with how persistent you two are, I do not take it as so," Amy nodded her head. "Nevertheless, regardless of things, whatever you''re thinking right now, it is not rted to that."
"Then?" Ethaniel frowned. "Spit it out already."
"The speech that Baron Zavir has given, I''m sure you heard it?" she asked whilst looking around the area. Soon after, she scrunched over towards Shinto and Ethaniel. "I have heard a very interesting piece of info from Lucas, would you like to hear it?"
"Ugh, just get to the chase already!" Ethaniel shouted out.
"He said these words, ''There are implications of an underlying matter behind Shinto and Ethaniel''," she chuckled. "Take it with a grain of salt. Perhaps this is the real reason why this whole fiasco involved you."
"..." Hearing Amy''s statement, Shinto couldn''t help but feel confused at the meaning behind her words. "...and with that what are you implying?"
"Hmm, who knows? As I said before, take it with a grain of salt," she said whilst moving her body back. "Now, you two should rest for the night. You both must be very tired right?"
"...tch, you bastards are so damn confusing," Ethaniel scoffed as he turned away from Amy. "I''m not sure what you want from me, but I won''t hesitate to cut you guys down if thing''s take a turn from here."
"Very well, I will take that as apliment," her voice resounded behind him. "Best of luck on your journey."
...
"...this ''underlying matter''..." Shinto thought to himself. "If it''s what I think it is, it''ll probably be best if we are on high alert."
"Hah? What are you talking about?" he said in confusion. "What do think she meant by her words then?"
"...I''ll tell you about it tomorrow. I don''t think now''s a good time," he shrugged it off. "Anyways, I''ll just head to sleep now. Haven''t gotten any sleep for the past few days."
"Whatever," he scoffed as he turned around.
''The implications of this ''underlying matter''... how do they know of it?'' he thought to himself as he drifted off to sleep.
...
The next morning, whilst the two men were asleep soundly on their beds, a loud thump could be heard from the door of their room.
"Hey, you two! Wake up already!" Following up with the loud knocks, a woman''s voice could be heard resounding from the other side of the door. "We''re going to miss breakfast if you two don''t wake up!"
"...ugh," A groan could be heard from Ethaniel as he abruptly woke up from his bed. "The hell do you want?!" he shouted out.
"Eek! So you''re awake, Ethaniel!" The girl''s voice said in a cheery voice. "Is master awake too?"
"Bah! Just let us sleep!"
"...?" Shinto''s eyes opened as he turned to the shouting and angry Ethaniel. "What''s going on?"
"This freaking brawler has been banging on the damn door!" heined. "Can you ask her to shut up and stop? I want to continue sleeping."
"What time is it?" Shinto rubbed his eyes as he asked. "It''s still early isn''t it?"
"I don''t know!" he frowned as he turned to the door. "Hey! Brawler girl! What time is it?!"
"...uh, 9:47 AM? We have like... 15 more minutes till the doors for morning''s breakfast close! So hurry it up you two!" The girl, Frey replied.
"And then right after that... we still need to discuss what you want we have to do..." Another voice resounded through the door.
"Ugh... then I''m skipping breakfast," Ethaniel quickly lied back down on his bed.
"What? Hey!"
"...sigh." Shaking his head helplessly, Shinto got out of his bed as he made his way to the door. Quickly he opened it.
"We''ll be out in 15 minutes," he stated.
"What? But then we won''t get to eat anything!" Frey raised his brow.
"Doesn''t matter. Where''s Greld anyways?"
"Greld? He said he was going back to his home to sleep... so, he didn''t sleep here." The girl, Raina followed up.
"So Greld''s in the tavern? Then that''s good. Just wait for us outside of the hotel."
"What?! Hey! What about breakfast!?" Frey pouted.
"I don''t feel like eating at this ce," Shinto said whilst shutting the door.
"Master?!"
"...haha, well, let''s just head outside and wait for them," Raina chuckled whilst moving through the hallway.
"...but I''m hungry..." Frey sighed whilst following behind Raina.
...
Outside of the hotel, Raina and Frey sat on the bench whilst looking at the hotel''s entrance.
"When are theying out? It''s been 20 minutes..." Frey said impatiently whilst ring at the door. "Did they went to get breakfast without us!?"
"Give it some more time..." Raina said calmly. "They''ll probablye out soon-"
Whist calming down the impatient Frey, the two quickly turned to the hotel''s entrance as their eyes spotted a blonde-haired man and a ck-haired man walking out of the hotel.
"Ah, would you speak of the devil."
"Hey! Shinto! Ethaniel! Over here!" Seeing the two, Frey waved over at them.
