"That's if that's what the rest of the party wants," Luke said, making it clear they didn't have to agree to let her stay.Unfortunately, no one else seemed to mind her presence, not even Theodore, as Bobby shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sure. Why not? I don't see a problem with her sticking around."Chris nodded his head. "It'll be great to have another hero in our group, just as long as she doesn't cause trouble.""I won't do anything to disrupt the party's harmony," Violet promised.Bobby narrowed his eyes and leaned his head forward as he asked, "Actually, what is your class?""I'm an assassin," she said.This caused everyone who didn't know her class to perk up, and Bobby said, "That's great. We don't have an assassin in our party. It'll be nice not to have to play that role."Chris also looked relieved to have an assassin join them, which surprised Luke. In the previous life, they never had an assassin in their party, and the duo never complained about that fact. They had tak

"We're getting off track here. We should be discussing about whether we should stay or go," said Bobby.His words were enough to draw everyone back in line to the important topic at hand, and Chris said, "Right. Sorry."However, before the conversation could go any further, Grace raised her hand. "Shouldn't we help the people first?"At her words, everyone was reminded of their current situation. While they had been arguing about what to do about the survivors, the survivors had been dying left and right or suffering while waiting for help. Who knew how many people had died while they were chatting away. They should have been helping the people first before deciding what to do.Of course, no one wanted to say this out loud, so they stood in awkward silence. No one could look each other in the eye. Personally, Luke thought it would be better if they let the numbers go down a little bit more, but he doubted that would go well with the others and the angels. They would probably be horrif

Luke waited until everyone had gone to find a place to sleep before asking Grace, "Are you okay?"At the sound of his voice, she jerked violently before saying, "I'm fine."She obviously wasn't. It would be stranger if she wasn't shaken by everything because, deep down, she was a kind person. She was so soft hearted that she would cry over the smallest things, despite how hard he tried to toughen her up. He wasn't sure how he would he feel if she ever changed. Would he be relieved that she was finally growing up or mourn the loss of who she once was?They sat together in silence until Grace finally worked up the courage to ask, "Was it the same for you?""What do you mean?" he asked."Did people treat you poorly like Theodore?" she clarified."Based on the way you're talking, I assume you didn't have any problems with the people," Luke said instead of answering her question.Grace shook her head. "Everyone was really nice to me.""That's probably because you're a healer." In the after

"What the hell is wrong with these people?" demanded Bobby as he stomped back towards Luke."Obviously, things would be chaotic after a demon attack, but I never expected it to be this bad," said Chris."Reality isn't like fiction," said Tracy as she placed her fists on her hips. "You can't compare the two."Bobby and Chris were silent, as they had no argument against her words. Luke could see why they were so caught off guard. While this might have been the second time they had experienced a demon attack against a town, the two experiences couldn't be any more different. Last time, they arrived while the demon attack was still ongoing and the people had set up a system to handle it.Shouting in the distance drew their attention, and the group sighed as Bobby said, "Theodore is at it again. Would it kill him not to cause trouble?""We should see what the problem is this time," Luke said."I'm out," Chris said. "Last time I tried to help settle the issue, I nearly got punched in the fa

Theodore had been wanting to let off some steam for some time now. Ever since they had been chased out of the town, he had been itching for a fight. He had held back for the sake of the party and quest, but that didn't mean he was going to let them walk all over them and let what they just did to Grace slide. Even if it wasn't intentional, they had still hit her.For a grown man to drag a kid into a fight was unacceptable, especially for someone like Grace. As he was about to throw another punch, he felt someone grab his arm. The strength was considerable if it could stop him from going through with his punch, so it couldn't be a regular person. Looking back, he saw it was Bobby, which explained why he didn't immediately overpower him.In terms of strength, he was the next strongest person after him besides Luke. While their stats weren't close, they were close enough that it would be a
