So… if there was ever a time for acting, it was now. Especially because, unlike everyone else in the slum, Caster already knew that Sunny wasn't as useless as everyone believed. He had known it ever since that night when the three of them fought a devil together.
"Killed the… why did you kill him?!" Do you want to read more chapters ? Come to Panda-novel,com
Sunny stood up and shrugged.
"He was asking too many questions."
Caster opened his mind, stunned, then closed it again. After a few moments, he suddenly frowned:
"What kind of questions?"
It seemed as though he had realized something.
…Come to think of it, what was he even doing here?
"Oh, you know. Do I know Nephis well, what her Ability is, how did she get her True Name, stuff like that."
Without giving Caster the ability to react, Sunny wiped his hands with a bit of seaweed and added:
"Actually, this guy, Harper, was sent over to spy on us by Tessai. I caught him making a report to a Castle Guard officer this morning."
Caster remained silent for a while, then asked quietly:
"Do you have any proof of that?"
Sunny glared at him and raised an eyebrow.
"...Is my word not proof enough?"
A wild thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
'Will I have to kill Caster, too?'
Would he even be able to, if it came to that?
Not likely.
"Why, you don't believe me?"
Bad, bad. The situation was really bad. Depending on Caster's next words, Sunny could find himself in a sea of trouble. And he was powerless to do anything about it.
Anxious and uneasy, he stared at Caster.
The proud Legacy lingered. After a while, he came inside and closed the door behind him.
"No, I believe you. Actually, I suspected this kid myself. That's why I came here after hearing that the two of you were seen going somewhere together. But, Sunny… the others… the others might not think the same."
He smelled the air and grimaced.
"I am sorry to say that, but you have a reputation for having a bad temper. With alcohol added into the mix and no proof to connect Harper to the Castle… you can see how this does not look good."
'That piece of crap!'
Sunny scowled, trying to pretend that he was calm. He saw where this was going...
"So? What are you going to do?"
Caster gripped his shoulder. Then, in a serious and grave voice, he said:
"What else? I will help you conceal everything, of course. We are comrades, after all. But, Sunny… no one can ever know what you have done here. Especially Lady Nephis. This will be… this will be our secret. Alright?"
Saying that, he looked Sunny right in the eyes... and smiled.
