Chapter 238: Simple reaction



Chapter 238: Simple reaction

After a few minutes of thinking about Nessa's plan, they looked at her and she smiled at them then Niva sighed.

They didn't want to agree with Nessa's plan,  but at the time they didn't have any other way or at least so they thought, there was another being among them who could do it and at the time, was willing to do whatever it took to help Nessa in any way possible.

"We have no other option than this, huh?" Cortan asked and Nessa looked at him.

"We could try other things, but..." Nessa responded when Isamu tapped her on her hand and she looked at him.

"What's the matter, Isamu?" She asked.

"I can do it for you guys, I am great at shadow movements, I basically live in the shadows most of the time, I can hide myself pretty well, no one will be able to sense me, even when I am asleep within the shadows, I can still know, hear and so on what's going on around me, I am the perfect candidate," He responded as Nessa stared at him and he bowed his head.

"Lady Nessa, please, I want to help, you know I am the right one for the job, I will be able to pull it off without getting caught, please, consider me," He said and she braced her head against his and smiled.

"Are you sure about this, Isamu?" She asked.

"Yeah, I thought about it for a while, I am right about this," He responded and she hugged him and the others smiled as she patted Terou on the head and Isamu glanced at her with his tail wagging and she chuckled.

"I know it's difficult, Nessa but I think Isamu is right, he seems to be the perfect candidate for this job," Yonja said as Nessa raised off of Ismau, then sighed and looked at him.

"Fine, I understand what's at risk anyways, but you don't have to go as yet, let's wait until night, he must have already come up with a plan, we just have to know what it is or if not, when he plans on doing next, a simple move, do you understand, Isamu?" She asked.

"Yes, I understand, I know what I have to do, I will help figure this out, thank you for giving me this chance to prove myself, lady Nessa," He responded and she chuckled.

"Prove yourself? No, there is no need for you to do that, you are a great companion and I don't want you to ever try and prove yourselves, you don't need to, I know how strong both of you are as well as the others," She said as Isamu stared at her and she grinned.

"Lady Nessa?" Yonja asked and Nessa glanced at him then smiled.

"Yeah, they call me lady Nessa, it's weird for me at times, but I am sort of used to it," She responded.

"You are a leader then?" Ian asked.

"Trying to get me to talk?" She asked and Ian chuckled then Nessa smiled.

"Well, in a way, yes, we want to know so," He responded and she chuckled then patted Ian on the shoulder.

"I am in a way, yes, I am a leader," She said and they left staring at her then she smiled.

"You don't have to look at me like that, I am not that important," She added.

"Are you sure about that?" Isamu asked and she looked at him as he turned away from her.

"From his reaction, I can tell that, you are important, it's confusing, but..." Yonja said and Nessa glanced at him then smiled.

"I don't know, I can just tell you that the people I'm in charge of are not ordinary people, from what I told you guys the last time, by now you know more, I will tell you my exact identity soon, but you know enough for now, right?" Nessa inquired as they exchanged glances and smiles.

"Yes, for now, Nessa, we know enough, thank you for telling us even that much," Ian replied, and she smiled and stood up as the receptionist brought them drinks and snacks, and they looked at her.

"Thank you," Nessa said.

"You are welcome, you guys earned it, I will be back in a minute," She replied, then left and Yonja tapped her on the shoulder and she glanced at him.

"When this is over, you don't have to thank us, you can say that we understand you have a lot to protect, from your actions, I can tell that you are not just doing this for yourself or whoever you have to protect, you have many reasons to do all of this," Yonja said and Nessa sighed before lowering her head and sitting back down to eat.

"Yes, you are correct; I am doing this for a variety of reasons, including the desire to improve, to understand my place, where I fit perfectly, and to evolve, among others..." She replied as she took her food and Ian glanced at her.

"Did you have a difficult life, Nessa?" When Ian asked, she smiled before sighing.

"To be honest, I'm not sure how to answer your question; I think I had both experiences up until a certain point for one and now that both are going, I might have to face bad days again, soon," Ian sighed and patted her on the shoulder as after hearing her response.

"Eat the stress away, eating help," He said and she chuckled as the rest laughed.

"Just know your limits, you won't want to become an eat well like Ian here, Nessa," Sophia added and Nessa smiled as she ate her food after giving Isamu and Terou their share.

"So Nessa, you are coming with us to talk to the guild master, right?" Niva asked and Nessa looked at her before smiling.

"Yeah, of course I am, he will need to listen to someone who saw and heard it all, maybe he might believe us, even if he doesn't, it won't matter, so don't worry too much, I will handle it, I know how to deal with these situations pretty well," She responded and Niva smiled then continued eating her food.
