Anyone heard of this place bringing people back from the dead?

Just curious.

Anyone would feel the same way, right? If a loved one gets a second chance, you'd want the best for them.

[whatsamada]

I know I would want the same way for a couple of my friends.

Let’s just say they died helping me and a couple of my other friends. No matter what they did, I can’t repay them enough.

[birdflipping]

You too? Sorry to hear that.

[whatsamada]

No, it's okay. It's just something I have to deal with.

Let's just say I had my fair share of battling monsters back home too.

[birdflipping]

What kind of monsters?

[whatsamada]

[Should he tell him?]

The negative feelings of the human mind. It's complicated.

[birdflipping]

What, you wanna be a therapist when you grow up or something?

[whatsamada]

[ . . . . . . . . ]

No, it just means we had to fight so we didn't have those negative emotions taking form and hurting other people!

[birdflipping]

Sooo... You're being literal here, not metaphorical?

[whatsamada]

Yes, I'm being literal. What else do you think I meant?

[Why are adults like this??]

[birdflipping]

Sorry, sorry, I'm just teasing you. [Nero's not that dense... even if it's sometimes funny to pretend to be.]

I'm a devil hunter back home. Sometimes they're drawn to negative emotions, so it's not that weird to me.

[whatsamada]

[Ken used flail!]

That isn't funny! I was serious!

That was why I mentioned it, I'm use to fighting back home. It didn't seem fair you said something and I didn't!

[birdflipping]

😊

Alright, so next question. Why are you fighting? Even I was still training at your age. Can't trust anyone else to do the job?

[whatsamada]

[On the other end, Ken is glaring at the message!

You say that. I was fighting to make sure all those shadows were gone.

I had a couple of friends who were willing to help me out too. I wasn’t completely doing it by myself.

[birdflipping]

Not really what I was asking, but sure.

What do you fight with? Swords? Guns? Both?

[whatsamada]

A spear. I figured it would be easier to attack an enemy from a distance.

Why do you ask?

[birdflipping]

No reason. I'm just impressed.

[and lowkey a weapons nerd... he likes to know these things]

[whatsamada]

[...Did he hear that?]

Wait, you are? I thought you were going to tell me how that's too dangerous for someone my age.

[birdflipping]

It IS dangerous, but if you survived so far you've been doing something right.

You don't need to fight here, at least.

[whatsamada]

I know.

But it won't stop me from trying.

[birdflipping]

At least take someone with you, even if your friends aren't here. The monsters here won't be like anything you're used to facing.

[whatsamada]

I will. Even I know I can't take on monsters without some assistance.

It just difficult knowing I'll have to do that.

[birdflipping]

Eh, just keep practising and working on your magic, you'll be a badass in no time.

[whatsamada]

Don't worry, I will! I do plan on getting stronger here anyway.

Also? Thanks, Nero for taking me seriously.

[birdflipping]

Well, there's not that many people I take seriously, so you should be honored. 😉
