Then Seo-yun loudly demands that she doesn’t care who she’s paired with as long as it isn’t Rin and the eyepatched edgelord quickly picks Maxwell as his partner to “interrogate him,” and despite protests from the taller man Morgan is perfectly fine with the decisions. So after a few minutes to get everything settled, the pairs go like this, You and Usami at the kitchen in the front of the boat, Rin and Maxwell stationed in the sleeping quarters in the middle of the boat, and Seo-yun and Morgan at the staying in the living area. All together, you close the dividing doors and seal yourselves off, but you’re quick to give the room a once over for any obvious magical listening devices. After failing to find any stereotypical wizard scrying orb, you turn to Usami, who has climbed up the countertop to be closer to eye-level with you.
“I feel queasy,” He whines before making a weird slimy belqing noise. Yes, that word is made up, but it describes the noise perfectly.
“Are you seasick? Stomachache?” You ask before immediately, mentally slapping your head.
“Uur- No, It’s about, you know.”
“Right, obviously. Isn’t your entire body a stomach anyway.”
“Urgh,” He belqs again, “Please, don’t talk about my body that way. I don’t want to think of it that way, and it makes the queasy feeling worse.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“Uurhg,” He blubbers, clearly not taking the situation well.
<span class="mu-r">” A pathetic display. Is this truly the one you call an ally?” </span> You smack the sword.
You lean against the wall opposite of him and begin to tap on your sword, “This whole thing is a mess,” You say aloud, voicing your thoughts, “Is it actually a test? What purpose would it serve? If we were suspect of being ‘traitors’ wouldn’t it be easier to capture us? What’s with all the murder? And how is she going to survive if the boat sinks? Is she so fanatic as to go down with us? What if one of our Cheat Skills lets us breathe underwater?”
“Miss Morgans scary… What if she just wants to see us kill each other?”
“Then this is the worst death game plot I’ve ever seen. Not even Dangranonpa level, embarrassing,” You click you tongue as you look around the small room, “Hey, Usami-kun, do you think you can dissolve wood or the lock on the door?”
“Eto, I don’t think so? Whenever I eat a creature with something nonorganic on or in it, that part usually floats inside me until I spit it up. Why?”
“But wouldn’t wood be organic?”
“Maybe? I’ve never tried it,” There’s a moment of silence there as you both think before he breaks it again, “Hey Midori do you think the In-” and you instantly jolt up to shush him.
