The Red Game's

Chapter 7 part 1

We BlackList members gathered to discuss who would advance to become participants. But before we started discussing, Cresh took me to a quiet place. There was no one there but the two of us.

The wind blew away the dust around us. Cresh's face became serious as he looked at me. I already know what she wants to talk about. Even so, I will not intend to avoid it.

“You already know why I brought you here, right, Kei.” Cresh said that in a cold tone.

“Yes that. I don't intend to deny it.” I said justify.

“Then this will get easier. How do you explain it.”

I know he's very suspicious of me for talking about an alliance to attack the ruler. This suspicion cannot be completely eliminated. For that I will tell him the truth of all this.

“If I answered that I created this alliance, what would you do to me?”

In that question, I inserted there was still a possibility I was involved. Depends on how Cresh uses my question. He could have made me confess, or I could have escaped his suspicions. It could be said that this was a gamble between life and death.

“Actually I don't really mind that much. If you did, then leave it like that. After all, everything has happened, we can not change it.”

It's troublesome. He said a statement that couldn't get me away from his suspicions. If I answer ‘I don't do it’ he'll just be suspicious. And if I answer ‘aku who made all this happen’ there must still be suspicion embedded in him.

I sighed, “This is very troublesome. In this case we cannot reach an agreed conclusion. The answer is yes and not very difficult to prove the truth. I won't question what your response to me will be like. You can do everything you can to clarify this.”

In the words I said, there was a very simple message in it. The implied message is ‘if you consider me a friend, then you won't suspect me’.

Cresh let out a sigh, his countenance relaxed again.

“You're right. There's no point in arguing about that now. I thought we'd just cut this conversation. Continuing will only ruin our friendship.”

“So the conclusion of this problem is finished?”

“Yeah, that kind of thing.”

In the end this conversation only reached an ambiguous conclusion. Although Cresh said that the matter was over, but in fact he would still investigate. I don't know if that's true, but I'll have to be vigilant from now on.

We regrouped together with the BlackList group. When Cresh wanted to discuss who would be the participants representing BlackList, Vany said that they had determined who the people were.

I don't care who's going to represent BlackList. If they decide not to let me tag along, I don't care either. Even if someone challenges me. I'm not interested in accepting it.

“So who will represent us?” ask Cresh to Vany.

I'm staring at Vany, “Eh? Why me?” I said.

Wili put her hand on my shoulder, “Of course it's a punishment for you.” He said with a cheerful smile.

“I don't feel the need to be given a penalty.”

“You deserve to be punished. Besides aren't you proud to be trusted to represent BlackList?”

A cheap provocation. He thinks I'm going to be lured by it. I'm sorry I won't fall into your trap.

“Didn't you deserve to represent BlackList? Compared to me, you have more chances to win. Am I wrong?”

What about this, huh? You think you're the only one who can provoke. In that case you won't be able to beat me.

“Yes, that's true. But it's our decision. I can't change it as I please.”

“Haih, I thought you were very reliable as my senior. Turns out I was wrong about that.”

“Oh no, no, no. You're not wrong about that.” Willi becomes smoldering, “I'll show you that your senior is very reliable.”

He's approaching Vany, “Yo Vany. I thought it would be better if I replaced Kei. He looked troubled and unsure of his abilities. So as his senior I_”

“No. It is not allowed.” Vany immediately dropped Wili's hopes.

I don't seem to have any other choice. I don't want to have to go to that tournament, but I don't plan to win. Maybe I'll just give up on the first game.

“You are indeed a useless senior.” I said to Wili.

“No, I am very reliable.”

“Speaking without proof it's just nonsense.”

“This fact!!”

Wili was very upset because I kept mocking him and so on.
