JOBBING

[21] Decision (2)

When I closed the dining room door, something just flashed at full speed next to my head. And that's not the problem, I just tilted my head to avoid the speed of the knife.

Not closing my eyes, I just thought over and over again, why am I tilting my head? When I turned around just now, I just had a hunch that something would fly close to my right eye—obviously I was just thinking of a beetle or something.

Not a sharp knife like that. And I'm sure this is all Joba's doing. Immediately I turned to her who was sitting to the right of Yua, she only showed a smile of her canine teeth while waving at me.

I clucked in annoyance, then also headed to the seat to the left of Yua to sit there.

"You're great Avlein!" sahut Yuah. "You can avoid Joba's throws with the speed of his inner power!"

"Haha ... You must be kidding me! It was also a coincidence ...."

"Obviously you've realized someone's going to target your right eye!" timpal Joba's. Makes me stare at him.

I'm just upset he's always playing me as he pleases.

"Come ... You're on your own, don't you want real evidence? You didn't even run away to take cover from that knife!" joba again.

Makes me think a little, really, I'm finally getting a little proof, but come on, that's not enough. It could be true, the incident was just a coincidence or it could even be still the work of Joba.

"Try me again!" I immediately took a position to pay attention to his movements.

Then I sensed something, something was going to strike me from Yua and behind me.

Along with that, Yua moved her left hand about to hit my shoulder, making me reflexively avoid it by pulling my body up to stand next to the chair.

At that moment I saw a knife in his hand.

"Why use a knife?!" I grumbled in annoyance. I put my body back in the chair.

And they just laughed in response to my question just now. I would be hurt if I didn't stand up.

"Quiet ... You remember what I said, you're not gonna die from it."

I thought back, I don't think I've had any wounds on my skin in a long time. So I don't know what happens if this skin gets scratched. Will it be the same as Avlein?

"Oh, you want to hurt yourself apparently?!" chirps Joba. Then I looked back at him in annoyance.

He always talks about my heart as he pleases. It also made me undo my intentions earlier and think back. Isn't this getting weird? How could I have such a feeling? Even this is not like my usual self.

"So you think because of this incident, I've given you my powers?" joba answered the question I was thinking about.

Then I also shuddered at his words, and this time I asked him to please pity me not to tell the embarrassing incident. I'm sure he'll make it his entertainment again.

Immediately I glanced in front of me, because surely the girl had also begun to suspect as a result of the words of Joba just now.

"And what is Joba?"

Yep, he finally asked her and Joba would passionately tell everyone along with that annoying laugh. I can only show my frustration waiting for a response from him.

"Avlein had a bad dream, and I'm just worried that he's been unconscious for a while because I woke up a few times."

I took a pretty long breath. Okay, this time I'm really grateful to him for following my wishes.

"Is Avlein okay?"

"You don't have to worry, I'm fine."

But I went back to my doubts. Thinking back to all of Joba's words. Is this really all because of myself? I still don't believe any of this. Because all this happened suddenly and when Joba was with me anyway.

"Avlein ... Just so you know, when you're worried like that, a surging dark aura spreads throughout your body." Yua broke my concentration.

So I know now, why he can guess my heart. It seemed that it was because of that aura he was talking about.

"And you must know why I'm still confused like this. Because I'm so different from the Avlein you told me about. Even in the outside world, I don't see a single creature like the Orgy!"

"You don't see them because you're with me." said Joba, "If you want more proof, you can get out of this world to see for yourself."

I'm very interested to hear that explanation, but not for now, because I have to do something else first, which is to continue Avlein's book.

"Then it's better to finish what you want to do first."

------------------------------

Currently the four of us gathered in one of the palace rooms—library. Stare carefully at the old book Avlein who has issued a new sentence. Where it contains,

Find him at Lionera.

"She, who? And that means I have to get the gate out of that green card?"

"And why would he move like that?"

"I don't know for sure about it, just like this world, the last time we got here was about 50 years ago. Perhaps this is what is called the will of nature or even the will of the almighty."

"Oh look! Something was written on the sheet!" chirps Vlivy pointed to Avlein's old book. And true to what he said, the book raises new letters to continue the sentence.

"I know you intend to escape. If that's your choice, then you'll face Erker." I translated the writing.

It was obvious that the words were talking to me.

"What is Avlein in this book?!" I turned to Joba.

Because how could this sentence rebuke my true self would decide to immediately leave this Greyaq without completing his orders.

"No. He's not even in this country!"

"And why, does it seem like he's warning me?"

"Because you've decided to leave this world, when you already know the continuation of the story!" go back and sit on my right.

"And you know, if I were the only one to persuade you, you wouldn't listen to me because of your frustration. I've seen everything ...

We leave this world, shortly after that meet with Derk Erker, and of course he will attack you and me. Finally it is not one of us who is injured, making your destiny change again. And it's gonna get even worse."

"And why are you explaining all that time? Usually you won't want to explain what's going to happen to me! Is it because of my decision change? Of course it won't happen!"

"I did all that because this is what it's meant to be."

"But I'm sure you won't go see Erker!" timpal Yua made me turn to stare at him. And it's true what he said, because I'm weak there's no way I'd want to see Erker.

"From what Joba explained, it seems you really need to do something to provoke your power, so your Avlein and Joba did all this."

Yeah, I was thinking, did I really have to do the task he was told to prove something I was hiding? But there are still a lot of things that make me doubt all this.

"I'm still confused what exactly is all this? Why didn't Avlein tell me in person? And instead leave Joba with me, to seek my destiny? Where the hell's he going? What's the purpose of all this? Why didn't he just do it himself? Because he is, better than me! Did he run away and give up the fate of death to me? And I'm sure no one will answer all my questions! It's free to say all this!"

I snorted just finishing my clear long words. In just one breath, I threw out everything that filled my mind, which was obviously already unbearable.

"Sorry Avlein ... The book returned with writing!" vlivy chirps slowly, making him bow his head afraid I'll scold him for cutting on the side of my question.

As soon as I looked over the sheet, a statement from Avlein was written there.

"We will meet ... But there is a time ... And I promise to explain everything you don't know. Then you must follow in my footsteps." I was silent after translating it.

Then Joba touched my shoulder and said, "I'm doing all this because it's my duty to give you direction, be with you and try to protect as far as I can."

And then something came to my mind, "Wait a minute, it's all getting weird. How old is Avlein? I'm sure you're all fooling me!"

It was clear that Joba said it happened in 1845, and I also believe that Avlein at that time was not 45 years old.

"Surely he was over 100 years old, haha ..." replied Yua who was certainly laughing was made up by him.

"Yes right, as you think, this is all about getting you to this place. And you too shall know all this, and therefore you shall choose only the path that has been shown to you. Of course you can reject all this too. I will always try to protect you!" joba obviously went back to making myself quiet.

I've tried to follow all of this, but somehow most of my feelings still reject all of that reality.

"And if I'm dealing with Voq, will I be okay? I can't even guess they're evil or very evil!?" i conclude.

"Because Avlein says this will all be resolved by yourself, therefore I will not interfere in this matter. Just relax, you can still face them all. This time you can count on Bogi and Bogu in this first experiment." explained Joba.

"Wait on! I brought 2 rats?"

"Oh haha .. Take it easy they are reliable!" joba reply.

"And maybe it helped a little, I think they betrayed me because I didn't meet their demands. And in the end decided to get out of this world." added Yua.

"If so, fine ... I'll go take care of it." I replied firmly.

It seems that I am the one who has to fight this doubt in my heart.

"Me and Vlivy will be waiting for you here, okay?" joba made me look at him with questions.

Did I really go alone? What if something happens that harms me?

"Trust me Avlein ...."
