“…Huh? If that’s the case, what are we still waiting here for? Let’s go ask virtual-novel.net about the Seadom tribe while we can! What’ll we do if virtual-novel.net suddenly runs off?” asked Aiden in a slightly nervous tone.
“Calm yourself,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net patted Aiden’s shoulder. He had already expected the boy to get anxious the second virtual-novel.net heard about the news…
“What do you mean, ‘calm myself’? This may be our best shot of finding someone from the Seadom tribe! We can’t let virtual-novel.net leave! If virtual-novel.net does, what are we going to do? Extend our stay in Japan indefinitely?!” grumbled Aiden as virtual-novel.net flopped onto the couch.
Watching as Aiden then lit one of his cigarettes and began puffing it, Gerald explained, “First off, since she’s in special forces, it’s evident that she’s here for the competition. With that in mind, virtual-novel.net won’t be leaving anytime soon. Besides, the hotel has a record of virtual-novel.net registration. Regardless, if we head there all willy-nilly, what makes you think we won’t end up scaring her? Forget calling for help from virtual-novel.net tribesmen, virtual-novel.net may even call the police!”
“Gerald’s right. I say we slowly get to know virtual-novel.net first. That way, we can prevent a situation where virtual-novel.net feels disgusted with us right off the bat. Regardless, we should only start asking about the Seadom tribe when we’re on friendlier terms. With any luck, we’ll finally be able to learn more about Yearning Island then…” added Master Ghost.
“My thoughts exactly,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net nodded in agreement.
“…So… We just wait here for now…?” muttered Aiden. Though virtual-novel.net now got where they were coming from, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but feel that they were simply procrastinating.
Shrugging, Gerald then said, “We wait for an opportunity to present itself. If virtual-novel.net really does leave before we get a chance to talk to her, we’ll just have to look for another way…”
“Now that would be a great pity…” replied Aiden with a sigh.
“If it happens, it happens…” replied Gerald with a bitter smile before starting to head downstairs alone…
Since they were going to be staying here for a while, Gerald made it a point to learn more about the area. While virtual-novel.net didn’t have any Japanese enemies, that didn’t mean that his enemies wouldn’t pursue virtual-novel.net all the way over here. Regardless, this wasn’t Weston, all virtual-novel.net could do was rely on himself to do all this. What more, virtual-novel.net couldn’t just do things casually like how virtual-novel.net had done back in Yanam.
Whatever the case was, upon seeing that Gerald was leaving, Master Ghost and Aiden immediately wanted to follow. However, Gerald quickly rejected the idea.
After all, Master Ghost wasn’t capable of defending himself. With that in mind, virtual-novel.net would only end up becoming someone Gerald had to protect if they bumped into any trouble. As for Aiden, virtual-novel.net was here for that big competition, so Gerald didn’t want to involve virtual-novel.net in his affairs. With his point made, the duo could only remain in their rooms as Gerald took the elevator downstairs, a cigarette in his mouth…
Night had already fallen by this point, and after staring at the endless stream of pedestrians for a while, Gerald found himself getting more relaxed as virtual-novel.net came to terms with the situation.
While his sister and parents had been on Yearning Island for a while now, Gerald had a feeling that his grandfather hadn’t mistreated them too badly. After all, in the end, they were still blood-related with Daryl, so his grandfather probably wouldn’t kill them right off the bat. His hunch was further supported by some things his father had previously told virtual-novel.net regarding his grandfather…
Either way, as virtual-novel.net continued walking down the street, virtual-novel.net began thinking about how virtual-novel.net should get to know the woman from the Seadom tribe. After all, virtual-novel.net was pretty sure that the term ‘Seadom tribe’ itself was a taboo among those from that tribe. But if that was the case, how was virtual-novel.net going to ask virtual-novel.net about it?
Just as Gerald was feeling a slight headache coming, virtual-novel.net noticed a supermarket nearby. Figuring that virtual-novel.net may as well get himself more cigarettes, Gerald then began walking toward the building… Only to suddenly stop in his tracks.
With the aid of his Herculean Primordial Spirit, Gerald was able to sense dangerous situations around him. Due to that, virtual-novel.net could now sense a fight happening in the alley behind the hotel and the supermarket…!
Though virtual-novel.net remained momentarily stunned, Gerald eventually snapped out of it and entered the supermarket…
