Ch. 4: When They Say They're Hungry...
We faced off against the Dream Eaters and somehow ended it without anyone getting hurt.
Rosso: "This place is probably dangerous…"
He strained his eyes out over the ocean and muttered to himself.
Douglas: "…I don't like agreeing with you, but you're right."
Rosso: "Bastard, you always say just one thing too much don'cha~?"
Douglas: "Only to you Rosso."
Rosso: "Damn, you rub me the wrong way."
Douglas: "For the time being, let's land on the beach. OO's here after all."
Orion: "That's quite the thing for you to say since you're the ones putting OO in danger."
Douglas: "I wouldn't have let her get hurt. Orion, do you want to come?"
Orion: "Why would I?"
As Douglas gave a mixed sigh and asked his question, Orion turned away as if uninterested.
Rosso: "Fine by me if he doesn't, Orion's so hard to please."
Orion: "…hmph. I can't leave OO's safety to the two of you."
And so in that way, the four of us came upon a beach…-
We landed on the beach, and almost immediately the beach was wrapped in a delicious smell.
Since we'd arrived in the afternoon, everyone had decided to have a barbeque…
Douglas: "We've got meat from our stores, and cheese."
Rosso: "If you want alcohol, I've got it. And later I can do a little bit of fishin'."
Orion: "…you eat fish?"
Rosso: "Yeah, so what if I do? I'm pretty good at fishin' too. I'll get something real quick…-"
Orion: "I won't allow it…!"
Rosso: "Huh? Ya know, you shouldn't be so picky."
Orion: "I will absolutely not allow it."
Rosso: "Wh-what the hell…!?"
Rosso walked out along the beach, after promising he would only show off his skill and not eat the fish.
Douglas: "Aah, come on Rosso! You said you'd watch the fire. Why don't you knock that stuff off?"
Rosso: "Shut up. You want me to sink you now!?"
Douglas: "Ooh…"
Douglas gave a challenging smile at Rosso's rough tone.
Oh no, not again…!
OO: "D-Douglas! You shouldn't…-!"
In a panic, I moved forward to stop them and…
Douglas: "It's fine, OO. I'm ready any time you are!"
My attempts were useless and Douglas shouted out to Rosso.
Orion: "Ugh, they're so loud."
Orion let out a sigh deeper than the sea itself, but in some way his smile looked like he was enjoying himself.
What exactly is the relationship between these three…?
Sometimes they would go at it as if quite serious about hurting each other, and then other times they would quite unexpectedly
smile together. It was at those times that I could catch a glimpse of how they were really connected to each other.
However, once again, at that time…-
Orion: "Tch…more Dream Eaters."
