The Trifecta

The TRIFECTA Chap 123 My Own Motivation

Mew: [Sighs] I do want her to be happy. And I know what you're saying but would it just be best for me to just leave? I might feel a little uncomfortable seeing them two on the boat.

Joshua: Yeah, but you are needed here.

Mew: Heh, for what an extra blade for you all to fight? I feel like doing nothing right now. All my goals I have for Sojira to help me is gone too.

Joshua: What are they?

Mew: Hmm, it's silly and a bit embarrassing.

Joshua: Aw come on tell me. It can't be that bad.

Mew: [Sighs] Fine. I don't know how to swim.

Joshua: Really you? The student of Shiva? [Giggles]

Mew: (Angry) Don't laugh at me!

Joshua: Sorry, I didn't expect that.

Mew: Hmph!

Joshua: If you want I can teach you.

Mew: Huh!? Um, I'm fine. Swimming not a big thing anyway.

Joshua: But it's one of your goals right? I'll show you the basics and keep watch to make sure nothing happens to you.

Mew: It's......not just that.

Joshua: It's your scars isn't it?

Mew: (Shocked) What!? How do you know that!? Did she......

Joshua: So I'm guessing that supposed to be a secret as well. Sojira didn't say a word, I'm just good at analyzing my surroundings. Sometimes it's best to just be quiet and open your ears. You're be surprised how much information you can get off someone.

Mew: ........

Joshua: Isn't that right, Jessica?

Mew: (Blushing) Huh!? The hell you know that!?

Joshua: [Giggles] Your face is priceless.

Mew: Shut up!

Joshua: Like I said, I just listen.

Mew: Hm.

Joshua: I do recommend you talk to someone named Artemis. That person may know something that you don't.

Mew: (Confused) Okay?

Joshua: So, how about it? Can it teach you?

Mew: I um......

Joshua: I know you're uncomfortable. I also realized you're hatred towards men.

Mew: .......Hmph.

Joshua: Mew, I give my word and my friendship on the line. I will not hurt you.

Mew: [Sighs] F-fine. Just don't judge me.

Joshua: [Giggles] Alright, and if you want I can still call you Mew. I like the name Jessica but Mew sounds like a superhero that I can enjoy saying.

Mew: [Smile] Thanks Joshua.

Joshua: I'll teach you later tonight okay?

Mew: Tonight?

Joshua: Yeah, meet me at the bottom of the ship. There's actually a pool underneath the ship with its own water source. That's hilarious.

Mew: Joshua, is this a date?

Joshua: (Shocked)

Mew: ......

Joshua: And if it was?

Mew: Um......

Joshua: [Giggles] Don't answer that. I just wanted to show you how to swim. See you tonight Mew.
