When no one around him responded, Chen Shi genuinely panicked and cursed inwardly.
What the hell is wrong with Arceus? I'm about to kill one of his Five Kings, and he still won't come out and stop me?
What exactly is he trying to do?
"Human, you may kill a warrior, but you cannot humiliate him. I have no trump card, and no one is coming to save me. If you're going to do it, get on with it."
"If I so much as twitch an eyebrow, I'll..."
"Shut up. Who said you could talk?" Chen Shi snapped irritably.
"Quit bullshitting. You don't even have any fucking eyebrows!"
With that, Chen Shi looked up and shouted, "You don't even have to ask this time! I'll do you this favor, so hurry up and get over here!"
In the courtyard, Cogita watched the scene in the mirror with a dark expression, unable to resist rubbing her temples.
The Gardevoir behind her chuckled softly.
[My lady, didn't you say the Five Kings would be useful for your plans later? Why aren't you saving him?]
"I do have to save him..." Cogita looked displeased.
"But that bastard is clearly waiting for me to go save Avalugg. He's not even pretending anymore."
"Am I supposed to come running just because he calls? Don't I have any dignity?"
Gardevoir immediately fell silent.
The affairs between Autumn and her lady were not hers to comment on. She was better off quietly enjoying the show.
Finally, when the visibly exasperated Chen Shi jumped down, picked up a rock, and declared that he would smash Avalugg to death, Cogita could no longer hold back.
"Enough. Just tell me what you want!"
Chen Shi grinned, tossed the rock aside, and rubbed his hands together, his face full of anticipation.
