Sure thing, they invaded the weres. But there's too many casualties to handle for me to attend them.

Jason was, unsurprisingly, there also. He looked ready with his hidden gears at his shirt.

And obviously, he made some 'upgrades' to himself. I sensed it.

He looked surprised when he saw me, but it was only for a second.

Sure thing, you won't see me wear an all-black outfit with a gold lining, even though it's our usual clothes at Lukedonia.

I don't despise the clothes, but I don't think that it will suitable for me.

"You're with the enemy," Jason stated.

"I'm not in anyone's side," I said.

"You're with monsters wearing human skin!"

"Then what do you consider yourself, Jason? A human? Humans don't have a long life span as you did, and pretending like it was nothing." I answered. "I admit, I wasn't born as a human, but I lived as a human."

"..." Dad, on the other hand, just looking at us. But I know he wants to say something.

"Who is that guy behind you? Your twin?"

"No." I said. "He's my father."

Shock was evident in his face. He didn't expect that I will say that. "You what? You're the daughter of a monster! You're lying, Cass."

"Blah, blah. Whatever, Jason." Charles intervened. "You call her monster but you don't see you are the real monster here? So ridiculous!"

Jason turned towards Charles. "So, you're still alive."

"Of course not. I'm just an epitome of my previous self." He said sarcastically. "I'm dead, thanks to you, you f****** bastard. Well, that can't be helped. At least I still see the day that you will die."

"You sound so sure. I bet you're here to protect my queen." Jason snorted.

Why the hell does his endearments towards me send shivers to my spine?

"Queen? Really?" Charles turned towards me. "This guy is a real nuts. No need to assess. He's hopeless."

I rolled my eyes at his antics. Of course, it's obvious. Jason never gave me an endearment. Not once. He doesn't give any because 'it's not original,' he says.

But now, he's an endearment machine always spouting names that doesn't belong to me.

"Well, no matter." Jason said. "He will achieve his goals, and I'm going to get you. So get rid of my best friend and come with us. Don't worry, I'll make sure he won't touch you."

"I'm not your best friend you son of --" Charles snarled.

"Enough." I said. "Bickering won't do anything unless you're Frankie with his sharp tongue."

Frankie snorted. "Says by the woman who's also like that."

"So, I think I should eliminate these monsters now?" Jason said as he glance towards the other nobles and humans came with us.

"If you can." Seira and Karias both said.

Karias called his soul weapon and shot Jason. Seira ran towards Jason and raised her scythe.

Jason managed to dodge both of their attack. I know they're strong, but they're not good enough to defeat him. He mastered a few techniques before, and I'm sure he doesn't forget it.

"Karias, Seira, fall back. Help them, I will fight him." I said that made them both look at me.

"But!" Karias started.

"No buts. This is my fight. And I'm the one who's going to finish and end this mess." I said and walked towards Jason.

Shiro, Charles, Daniel and Nico didn't move an inch from their place.

"Genki. Saiki. Hakki. Raiki." I called to them.

Charles strapped himself to my left thigh, Nico at my back, Daniel at my left hand and Shiro at my right.

I know I don't look like an avenger, strapped with deadly weapons. But I won't let this pass.

"Are you sure you can use those?" Jason asked. "I mean you can use scalpels and bandages, but I'm not sure for those things."

"Why don't you try to know?" I said, waving the katana in front of me.

"Oh, you're being playful now, my love. Well, no matter as I still know the outcome."

We ran to each other to deliver a blow. I hid the knife first before I swing the sword downward towards his head. He evaded the attack and tried to do a chop to my hand for me to drop the blade. But I changed the handling of sword and slashed it towards him, gaining a cut on his shoulder.

"I see. So you can fight." He tried to stab me with a knife this time.

"I was born to fight and protect, Jason. But I wasn't the kind who fights for fun. I'm trying to save as much as necessary, that's why I became a doctor." I deflected the blade with my blade.

"What do you mean?"

I attacked him instead of answering. Talking won't settle anything if he doesn't understand and keep on being narrow-minded.

The fight continues, but he kept on asking for the answer that I will not tell.

"You will not understand my reasoning with that state of yours, Jason. That's why I'm not saying anything." I told him when he managed to wound me in the forearm.

"Why? All I want to be is with you! Why can't you tell your reason? Am I not enough for you?"

Lunge. Kick. Punch. Jump.

"You're not in love with me, Jason. You're obsessed with me."

Swing. Roll. Block.

"I am! It was you that isn't!"

"I love the real you, Jason. Not the current you, that's why I left and hide. You are the reason I started to feel emotions like that, and you are the one who caused me this. To revert back to my former state where I don't know what emotion I should use in the current situation."

Jab. Deflect. Swing. Counter. Evade.

"Ha! You can't fool me."

"If only that bastard knows what you've experienced." Charles told in my mind.
