After the man finishes his speech, I sit everyone down and say, “Ok, everyone, let's get a few things straight. First, we are looking for members of the iimbus or . They are supposed to be hiding somewhere on Elpída. To do this we will split up, and search for them. I will go with Suzuka, Atanta with Cyrus.”
Putting her hand up Atanta says, “I have a question.”
“What would that be.”
“If we have no way of log them, how will we find said, person.”
“That is why we're splitting up. We will have Cyrus take off his tail c, and walk around freely doing this will attract attentioo him being a dragon, during that time I am sure that if a member of will e to see if a dragon really has appeared.
Me and Suzuka, will also go around, and use her mind-reading powers to see if we find out anything about from other people.”
“But wouldn’t it make more sense for Cyrus to go with Suzuka? If the member of es near him, Suzuka could hear who it is.”
“I would, but could you imagine if Suzuka passed out due to an overload of thoughts, there is no way Cyrus would be able to keep his cool, and would freak out. So, it is better if we just split them up.”
“I see.”
“S-S-Sorry.”
“o apologize Cyrus, and I need you to have more fidence, you saved both me and Suzuka’s lives ba Seirei, be proud.”
Cyrus nods his head in respoo my words. Looking over at Suzuka she looks pumped, so I ask her, “What got you all hot and bothered?”
“I just got to try as hard as possible to pay Cyrus back.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard, that goes for all of you. Now, the final thing we have left to talk about would is; unication.”
“Should we meet up at an agreed time?” Atanta asks.
“No, I thought about that but it would be problematice if someone doesn’t show up, we really don’t have the meisms to chase after them at all. So instead, we will use these,” I say handing them objects.
“Aren’t these kaidenwa’s,” Atnta says.
“You would be correct. The ones we stole from Basileia.”
“But they ’t be used long distance.”
“That isn’t true, they take spirit energy proportional to the distance, so after a certain ra would be impossible to reach each other, but with Suzuka here that won’t be an issue. We will be able to get a e regardless of the distah her.”
“I see.”
Walking over to the map close by I say, “Now let us take off. We are currently on the fourth ptform, so, me and Suzuka, will explore the fourth, fifth, and sixth ptforms, while you and Cyrus, explore the first, sed, and third. Ptforms four and one are for mainly erce, five and two are for researd development, three is for leisure of all shorts and the sixth is run down.”
“Oh, I 't wait to visit hree,” Atanta says.
“Well, we're not done here,” walking up to Cyrus, I take a good k of lupas from him, and say, “You say no to anything Atanta asks you to do, remember that.”
As Cyrus nods his head in pliance, I hear Atanta say, “I am not going to do anything weird.”
“I hope so, don’t spend money on useless things as well, but don’t be hesitant about spending to get out of tricky situations, and more important than anything else, I want you two to stay safe.”
“Could it be your worried about me Orb.”
“No, I am not it is just if anything happens to you Cyrus is probably going down with you.”
“Your lime hair is a sign that your lying, your true feelings are clear to me,” Atanta says hugging me.
“Let me go, you crazy woman!” After getting her off of me, all of us part ways, with Suzuka and I saying, “Goodbye, be safe.”
“Bye, you two keep in touch.”
Walking away with Suzuka, I see she is rather fidgety so I ask, “Is everything ok.”
“Oh yes, it is just that I have never been able to walk around without a worry in the world like this, usually someone is snaring at me or making fun of me, so it is fug amazing to be free like this.”
“You know you have a rather crude mouth.”
Getting shy Suzuka says, “Sorry about that, would you like me to ge that.”
I thonk her on the head at full force, “No need for that I was just making an observation, and to be ho I don’t really uand the issue with crude words, Capti used to tell me I shouldn’t use suguage, but he would use it all the time as well.”
“I uand what you meahers would as well.”
“Others?”
“To help expand my vocabury, I used to say the things travellers say in my city out loud.”
Ahh, I see that’s why she has such a potty mouth most of her vocabury came from strangers, “But wouldn’t your parents of corrected you.”
Sadden she says, “I started doing this after I was taken.”
Dammit, Orb, I didn’t think that thought to a clusion, and now I have made her sad for no reason, think before you speak idiot. I o do something to make her feel better but what; I see something that gives me an idea.
Grabbing her hand, I drag her to where my sight is locked on to and say, “Let’s have a little fun.” We ruo a shop that rents the vehicles everyone is using on the gravity roads. After renting one I say, “This should allow us to have a fun time expl the city.”
“But wouldn’t this be a waste of money?”
“The longer we have to stay in this city the more mo will cost us so getting everything done as fast as possible is without a doubt the best option in this situation. And more importantly every now and again we should have some fun.”
Grabbing Suzuka I use my legad create iderh us, which brings us high enough for the antigravity to ki, and the on the board I say, “Suzuka hold on tight.”
“I will,” she says iails around me. As I colpse the snow we start to float on out. We are on a rge isosceles triangle-like board, that is very sticky. By leaning the board starts to move in the dire we want, and in no time, we are off flying through the sky like everyone else.
Due to ho Elpída it is stantly night, which really shows us how well-lit this try is, even in the dark night everything is very visible and also very beautiful. As we move through the fourth ptform, we go wherever we want they’re no limits on where we go.
As we get pletely lost in travel, I want to tell Suzuka that we should start looking around, but the smile on her face stops me from saying anything.
“Orb everything here is so pretty, mom and dad used to say the Capital has lots of pretty lights like this,” She says as she starts g.
“Are you ok Suzuka!” I say as I begin to panic.
“Of course I am, these are tears of joy. Ever since we left Seirei I didn’t know if all of this was just some dream, but seeing this city which I couldn’t of ever dreamt up made me realize, I really am here. So, I am just so happy.”
“Take this all in Suzuka, I promised you I will show you lots more of these sights, so remember it only goes up from here.”
Both of us tio fly around the city.

Φ Hitting me on my head my boss tells me, “You dumb ass idiot, you have missed your quota every month for the st year, you have been w here for years and the newbies are already making double the sales, when we hired you made the most sales out of anyone, but now with not only your lower sales but all your mess ups tely, we have no reason to keep you here, sht now your fired. Get out of my sight this instant.”
As I walk out of my office all the snares from before around me cause my broke to shatter into even smaller pieces. Even when I tried to be good.
I was a sales representative that went around trig travellers and other idiots into buying the crap my pany makes, and I was really good at trig idiots, I made the most out of a our pany. I was a horrible person, but it allowed me to get by in Elpída.
But one day I found out the garbage caused an explosion in which many families were caught up in. Logically speaking, I ’t take the full bme for the act, there were tless other people involved in this, so saying it was just my fault would be stupid, but still, I wao stop being a piece of shit and try to return to being a det human.
But that didn’t really work out, I lost my job, I lost my friends, I lost my girlfriend and now I am going to have to live poor in this expensive ass city. pletely hopeless and broken I say to myself, “The person I see, I am going to swihem for all they are worth.”
After saying this someoapes me on my bad says, “Hey, would I be able to ask you for some dires.”
I see a beautiful red-haired girl, and a tall beautiful boy with a rge backpack, he alsely has horns. Taking a sed to look at them, I see they are wearing visitor armbands, so this must mean that some fners are in front of me, the perfect cash cows.
“To where,” I say with my most trustworthy smile.
“Oh well, we're looking for the entrao the ptform.”
“I know you guys are fners, so let me tell you this you have to pay a toll to ehe ptform and it is expensive especially for you guys sihey increase the prices for fners.”
“Really that bad for us.”
Using all my years of honing my body nguage, I put on my best performa. “I know it must be, they’re really trying to rip off everyone who steps foot in this try, OVER FUG SUCK! But at the very least, us citizens are here to look out for each other, I have another way you move betweeforms.”
“That sounds wonderful. What is it?” The woman says as she starts using her body to flirt with me.
I see what she is pying at, looks like I don’t have to feel bad about what I am going to do. “Well, if you pay me some money I make it, so that you won’t have to pay for any toll while you’re in Elpída. Just give me a -sor- amount.”
“But that’s quite a lot, are you sure you 't give me any dist.”
“I am giving you as big a dist as possible, and you should remember that what I am asking for is a lot less than you would actually have to pay, and there are other bes.” As I start rambling on about the reason why they should take my offer, I e to a certain realisation and crouch down.
Am I really such a scummy piece of shit this whole self-righteous, me against the world mentality, led to the deaths of over a thousand people, most murders haven’t even killed that many. I ’t keep doing this.
