☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- Wait! You didn't listen to the end and misunderstood me. Ladya-san, thank you; please give us a few minutes,” she continues wearily, ushering the “waitress” out. “I offered him the chest specifically for his life at that moment – no more, no less. It had nothing to do with the original topic of conversation. You both have a very annoying habit of throwing out a paragraph of text and then running away in the middle of the conversation. That's not how things are done. Do you think I didn't understand something after the final card? Don't doubt it – I understood. From what I heard and saw myself, I realized that you are one of those people who has too much free time on their hands and enjoys ruining other people's lives just for fun. I perfectly understood that my "choice" was between two options, which you emphasized today. And I can only repeat once again – I didn't ask for any help; it was his own initiative. Whether it was out of kindness or stupidity – call it what you want, but he paid for it. The only reason I told him about it was to find out at least something about you, besides the fact that you spend a lot of time in this poorly lit room, dreaming about super-duper swords. In the end, I would have been better off without this knowledge, as well as without these idiotic bears, and without your whole forgotten clan of vile thugs, who deserve the guillotine, but what's done is done, and all I can do here is watch this pathetic play to its conclusion. Therefore, I will come tomorrow to the agreed place. I probably could now add something manipulative, like "if I don't see you there/if you don't keep your word, then I will understand that everything you said during our first meeting was just empty words, etc., etc." or any other pathetic nonsense, if I believed that such a thing could influence you, but I don't believe it. And besides, I would find it repulsive now. It's strange that I even had such thoughts recently – it has never been my way of operating. Perhaps I can thank you to some extent for the fact that with your antics at the end, you brought me back to my senses. But I won't – it's too much of an honor. I realized that my cards were bad the moment I walked in here, but at least I will finally turn over this hand and lay them on the table. Let the others worry. That's all I wanted to say here. EdgeLord-kun.
She slams the door shut, walks away, and gets one-shotted in the back.
