Satan's Guild

Secrets

One blink.

A comfy looking room.

Another blink.

There is a plant in a corner.

Third blink.

- Where am I? -

Akumo's eyes slowly open. He can finally see his surroundings more clearly. The room seems lightly decorated in a sort of minimalist style. There are a lot of plants everywhere. One in the corner. Three on the shelves. No wait, six on the shelves. A few hanging from a bar on the ceiling. A few photos were hung here and there. Everything is made out of wood. This is clearly an upgrade from his hut. Akumo slowly gets up. Before feeling a throbbing pain in his skull.

Akumo : Ngh...

Yumemiro : Aku? Aku!

Yumemiro awakes. He has been sleeping beside the bed that Akumo is currently on. The male hugs Akumo immediately.

Akumo : Where....Where am I?

Yumemiro : In my house! A makeshift one of course!

Akumo studies his surroundings. Certainly takes on a dreamy vibe. Fits Yumemiro perfectly.

Yumemiro : Are you feeling any better?

Akumo : My head...hurts...

Yumemiro : Ah, that's normal. You used a lot of magic earlier.

Akumo : I did?

Akumo seems to be unable to remember what happened.

Yumemiro : Yeah...You don't remember?

Akumo shakes his head.

Yumemiro : It's okay! I can fill you in later!

Yumemiro gives Akumo a bright smile. Akumo feels slightly comforted. Though he still has no clue what is going on. Then, he remembers something.

Akumo : W-what about my guild?!

Akumo seems to have gone into panic mode immediately.

Yumemiro : Whoa Whoa! Calm down! Your guild is fine! Kiru took them to find the dungeon.

Akumo : What?! I need to go now-

Yumemiro : Hey! You're not going anywhere! Your magic is still recovering and your stamina is really low! You have to rest!

Akumo : But I-

Yumemiro : Relax! Kiru will be fine, okay? You must trust in him! And what's important is your rest. I'm sure you wouldn't want Kiru messing up because he's worried about you, right?

Akumo thinks about this for a moment. He shakes his head.

Yumemiro : Good boy! I'll go get you some tea, okay? Stay right here!

Yumemiro leaves to prepare Akumo some tea. The male sits on the bed in silence. It is true that is stamina had magically depleted. He feels very fatigued at the moment. He also feels empty. The male certainly used up a lot of magic. Akumo sighs. He is worried. However, as his brother had said, he has to place faith in his subordinate. Akumo hopes they will be okay on their own.
