Chapter 1575

“What do you mean the dwarves don’t want to sit by the osterians? It makes them feel short? They are osterians? Everyone feels short!”

Using my map, I had quickly located the mansion that Eliana and her party were taken to. It would be their so-called embassy for the remainder of the peace talks, although it looked more like a vacation resort. Upon walking in, I found an extremely exasperated and busy Eliana, who was discussing with a group of delegates.

It sounded like a pain in the butt, and I didn’t want to get involved in it. Since I had taken care of all of the red marks in the city, I had freed up my schedule. I quickly found myself with nothing to do, which was actually why I had left Chalm in the first place. It seemed like I could never just find busy work to keep myself occupied. As I was trying to avoid getting pulled into Eliana’s unfortunate situation, I walked around the corner and right into Titan Fall.

“Oh, hey Deek! Can Alysia come out and play? Geh!” One of the girls spoke up, only to be elbowed in the gut by another. “What was that for?”

“Alysia isn’t a child!”

“Yeah, but we have to get permission to hang out, don’t we?”

“Hang out? What’s going on with Calypso?” I asked.

“We were relieved of our duties shortly after getting here. They said the ‘tribunal’ will take care of it.” One of the women sounded angry.

“The tribunal?”

“It’s the government on this island. Just a group of three rich people who use their wealth to control the dungeon and everything that happens on it.”

“Really…”

Not only did this strange dungeon have a thriving community, but they even had a leading government? It did worry me that they took Calypso, but I was still able to track her and she appeared to be on the island, so maybe I was thinking too much?

“So…” The girls all looked at me expectantly.

“Oh! Um… Alysia can always go if she wants.” I scratched my head awkwardly. “Um, do you want to go?”

That last question was aimed at Alysia, who hadn’t mentioned anything, and it was possible she wasn’t paying attention. There was a flash, and a moment later Alysia appeared right next to me.

“I guess I can whip you, girls, into shape.” Alysia declared.

“Eh?”

“Whip us into shape? What does that mean?”

“It’s been a long time since we’ve trained together.” Alysia frowned. “I thought you wanted to do some training.”

“Training!” One of the girls sputtered. “W-we were talking about going out drinking or something.”

“Nonsense! You have to train diligently every day. Since I’ve been gone, I bet you guys haven’t done a single training session.”

“Geh!”

“You are here to protect the princess of Aberis and forge a new government for the Ost Republic moving forward. You represent the pride of the Titan Fall here, so you can’t afford to play around. Don’t worry, I’ll whip you all back into shape!”

“Oh, that’s right, I forgot Alysia was a complete taskmistress who has no fun.”

“That’s right! I missed her so much I forgot how much she made us work!”

“Let’s get going! It’s been months and I only have a week, so we’ll have to work extra hard.” Alysia declared.

“Isn’t that just death?”

“I regret everything! Save us Deek!”

I scratched my chin, looking away from the begging girls. “Do your best.”

Perhaps having nothing to do wasn’t so bad after all.
