Chapter 5: Complex Feelings

"Right, I promised to show you guys around [Senerth] right? Let's go now then." (Lucas)

After eating, in order to dispel the weird atmosphere of our group, I tried to sound upbeat and rouse their excitement.

"[Sennerth], so this is the other world you spoke of aside from the world of that game and this world?" (Arlo)

"Yeah, there are only a handful of people who knew about it, around five days or so, it will be open to public." (Lucas)

Good, it seems that awkward mood lightened a bit.

I took a glance at Eu and couldn't help but ask myself...whether what she said earlier was the truth or not.

Perhaps, I'm the one who wish to think that she didn't lie...if she did...I'm really at a loss at what to do...

Sighing at the thought, I tried to push these feelings deep inside me but it wasn't easy. Not when I see Eu most of the time.

["Lucas."] (Warren)

Warren? This is...the [Call] function? No, if it was, then I should've received a notice first asking me whether I should accept or not.

["Hmph, do you hear me or not? This is my first time doing this so I'm not sure if it's working..."] (Warren)

"It's working, how are you doing this?" (Lucas)

Come to think of it, where's Warren, I don't see him anywhere...

["Oh! It worked!"] (Warren)

"What worked? Rather, how did you get here? In [Earth]?" (Lucas)

["I tried to fully fuse with your shadow and thought if I can talk to you like this...didn't really think it worked. As for getting here, I was hiding in Freya's shadow when you summoned her."] (Warren)

Huh? Was he considered as an Equip? Or maybe even a pet?

Well, no matter, I was also beginning to worry how I can bring Warren here. It's good that there was a way.

"By fuse you mean...can you control my body?" (Lucas)

["Nah, nothing that powerful. If I can do that, then I would've helped you in your battles long ago."] (Warren)

Right...if he had that sort of power, wouldn't fighting a dragon become way easier?

All he had to do is fuse with the dragon's shadow and stay still. And by the way he talked about it, the process isn't that special.

Most likely, it's the same as diving into a person's shadow and merging his own consciousness with it...wait, isn't that hard?

"How did you do the fusing?" (Lucas)

["Hm? Well it's really simple. All I have to do is merge my thought process into the shadow I wish to fuse?"] (Warren)

Simple!? Was something like that really simple!?

Seems like this guy is unexpectedly a genius...seems like I underestimated him.

["...I feel you're thinking rude things about me. And since I'm fused with your shadow, I am definitely sure that wasn't just a feeling!"] (Warren)

"W-whatever could you be talking about?" (Lucas)

["Haah, forget it. Anyway, what are you going to do with that Demon Queen, Euomun?"] (Warren)

"...Even if you ask me..." (Lucas)

How should I know?

For me, Eu is a great friend who had helped me when I went berserk in [Sennerth]. Though we met only recently, traveling with her for a week, was enough for me to trust her.
