Chapter 13 - 13-relations

Cassandra and Kairo are inside the hot springs talking.

Kairo – what do you want to talk to me about that's so important?

Cassandra – I want you to join a group of adventurers with me.

Kairo is shocked to hear this.

Kairo – are you crazy?

Cassandra – I know why we don't trust others.

Kairo – then, there is no reason for us to join adventurers.

Cassandra – but they are different, they can be trusted.

Kairo – I bet the first chance they will betray us.

Cassandra – please give them a vote of confidence.

Even though Kairo doesn't like it, he accepts Cassandra's request.

Kairo – that's right then, but in case something went wrong, don't say I didn't warn you.

Cassandra and Kairo hear knocking on the establishment's main door.

Cassandra – I'll take a look at who it is, anything you run away from.

Cassandra then takes the towel and heads towards the door.

Cassandra – who is it?

Koharu – it's me and Shana!

Shana – please let us in!

Cassandra – is it just the two of you or is there a crowd of people wanting to use the thermals?

Shana – just me and Koharu!

Cassandra then opens the door, Koharu and Shana enter, Cassandra then closes the door.

Koharu – you're wearing a towel, were you enjoying the hot springs already?

Cassandra – yes. By the way, what are you doing here?

Koharu – Shana wanted to come and enjoy the hot springs.

Shana – we also have to have a little fun, after all that day we weren't even able to use the thermal baths properly.

Cassandra – unfortunately, it cannot be used today.

Cassandra then realizes that the girls already went to change and didn't listen to her.

Cassandra – (not that, the only hot spring available is the one in the mixed area.)

Shana – it seems like there is only the mixed one available, but I think it's okay for us to use it.

Koharu – yes, after all, when her friend arrives, she will let us know.

Koharu and Shana are in towels, Koharu then opens the door to the mixed area and they blush when they see Kairo.

Shana – (It's really him.)

Cassandra then appears behind the two with an angry expression.

Cassandra – you two idiots, I told you to wait.

Koharu – we didn't hear any of that.

Cassandra – of course you didn't hear anything, because you ran away with everything.

Shana – we're sorry.

Kairo – hey Cassandra.

Cassandra – what happened?

Kairo – how about we go to the adventurers' house and let the two of them enjoy themselves?

Cassandra – that's right.

Koharu – wait, we don't want to disturb you, we're going to leave then.

Shana – what if we all enjoy it?

Koharu, Cassandra and Kairo are surprised.

Shana – it's a joke guys.

Cassandra – phew.

Koharu – coming from Shana I believe it's no joke.

Kairo – you are too indecisive.

Cassandra – it's true, we have to decide this soon.

Koharu – (am I imagining things or is Shana looking at Kairo strangely?)

Koharu – but what's the problem with the other hot spring areas?

Cassandra – they are dirty.

Koharu – (It's time to show that the theater classes I took were worth it.)

Koharu – Cassandra, maybe Shana's proposal isn't that bad.

Shana, Cassandra and Kairo don't understand anything.

Cassandra – what do you mean?

Koharu – Shana really wanted to come here, but you and Kairo were already there.

Cassandra – I understand, so...

Koharu – let's all have fun together, then neither side will be sad, how about that?

Cassandra then smiles.

Cassandra – it's not that bad. The important thing is for everyone to be happy.

Kairo – (I haven't seen Cassandra smiling like that in a while.)

Kairo – I already know.

Cassandra – what do you already know Kairo?

Kairo – call everyone in the group and today the food is on me.

Then everyone goes back to the adventurers house.

Ros – look who's back.

Kairo – you're going to scold me, right Ros?

Ros – of course, you and Cassandra are always creating confusion.

Kairo – don't worry, I don't want trouble for a long time.

Ros – what a miracle this is.

Kairo – by the way, can you reserve a table with six chairs?

Ros – don't tell me that you and Cassandra are really going to join that group?

Kairo – yes.

So the Fujimoto team sits at a table and they all go to dinner.

Koharu – (why when we returned Shana was looking at Kairo in a strange way?)

Fujimoto – so you are Kairo. Cassandra seems to admire you.

Fujimoto then holds out his hands.

Kairo doesn't understand.

Kairo – what are you doing?

Fujimoto then smiles.

Fujimoto – if you are friends with Cassandra then you are automatically friends with everyone here.

Kairo is surprised by Fujimoto's words.

Kairo – (Now I understand why Cassandra wanted to join this group, because they are honest, I only have one concern.)

Max – do you want to go training with us tomorrow? I'm helping Fujimoto get stronger.

Cassandra – it's a great idea, and who knows, maybe you'll be able to fit in with the boys in the group.

Kairo – that's right.

Ros then appears with the food.

Ros – it's finally here.

Koharu – why are you happier today? Don't tell me Kairo tipped you?

Ros – be quiet girl.

Shana – let's eat soon guys.

Koharu – (What is that look between Shana and Kairo?)

Kairo – (Wait, don't tell me this yellow-haired girl already realizes what's going on?)

Cassandra – by the way, how will the rooms be divided?

Fujimoto – a room for me, a room for Koharu, a room for Shana and Max, and a room for you and Kairo.

Cassandra – you thought of everything.

Everyone finishes their meals and goes to sleep in their rooms. Meanwhile, someone wearing a mask and hooded person crosses the barrier that divides world one and world two.
