Elysia continued her explanation. It was simple, really. "I was taking down some bandits along the way when the boss of the group fled into some sort of cave. Erm, I killed him, but then his blood splattered on the wall, and the wall seemed to have a reaction. Before I knew it, I arrived here in the forest."
Elysia paused, thinking about what else to say to help clarify the situation. "It's been about… twenty minutes, maybe?"
Alec was a bit speechless when he saw her talking about casually killing someone with a smile on her face.
Wait. Wasn't he the same as well?
…It was fine, then. He supposed that it was totally normal, since no one ever said anything about it to him.
"Huh," Sekai said, confused. "Well, we were holding hands when we were suddenly teleported."
Alec jabbed him in the stomach, causing the Main Character to bend over with an 'oof'. What the hell did he think he was saying?!
Could he not say it so ambiguously that could cause someone to misunderstand their relationship?!
Branding seal or not, he regretted helping the other out of the hole that the transmigrator literally dug out with his own 'seals'!
"Ignore him," Alec said, running damage control. "It's my belief that your father put something on both of us to keep us in the vicinity of each. Neither he nor I triggered anything on our end."
Elysia didn't even blink at their actions, but she looked at Alec with curious eyes. "Oh, I see. I'm sorry!" she apologized sincerely, bowing.
She stood back up, saluting him. "He was probably worried about me being out there alone. But, as you can see, I'm strong!"
After she said those words, she did a flex that reflected the exact movements of what Sekai did earlier, before she broke out into a laugh. "Just kidding. But I really can take care of myself. You don't have to worry!"
Elysia seemed to be a rather cheerful person, with a bright and optimistic personality.
Now that Alec had his pesky feelings out of the way, he was able to objectively judge her and see her character from their interactions.
…He didn't dislike the sort of person that Elysia seemed to be.
Still, he felt a bit of curiosity about what else he didn't know about her.
Of course, it wasn't his feelings for her acting up, but instead a normal type of curiosity that came when he interacted with his Spectres!
And she was part of the Spectres, so it was fine!
Alec nodded. "Yes, you are strong. But since we're in a different place, we might as well stick around together, then."
Honestly, it was better for them to go around in a group of three instead of just alone.
People travelling alone were either seen as easy marks or someone who was horrendously strong.
Neither of those things were something that he wanted.
Call it a gut feeling if you must, but he just knew that if he left the two Main Characters alone, they'd probably end up causing no small amounts of chaos.
If they were going to cause chaos, then they should at least keep it somewhat under control.
There were times were Main Characters got in over their heads, which was not ideal.
Alec could just picture it now.
Sekai would start some sort of fight with a rich, arrogant punk, who provoked him with words. Or looked at him funny, even.
Then, the transmigrator would beat his face in, or even just straight up kill him, knowing Sekai's personality.
Then after that was all said and done, an elder from that rich punk's family or whatnot would come and chase Sekai, demanding his death as repayment.
Sekai fight as best he could but would ultimately end up fleeing for his life. He'd hide in an unlikely place before he miraculously stumbled upon something that would make him stronger.
Alec could see the whole string of events playing out in front of him right now.
As for Elysia… well.
Ye Sha spoke up without needing to be prompted. "If she goes on her own, she's going to encounter an arrogant punk that tries to pick her up, only to get turned down.
"Then, since he was turned down in front of a large crowd, causing him to lose face, he sends his men to follow after her before trying to drug her food.
"In the end, when she consumes a bit of it, she realizes what's going on, and she plays along until she's brought to a room.
"Then, she kills him.
"After that, the idiot's family manages to find her using the blood on her hands, and they chase her around the place."
Alec wanted to cover his face. WHY!
It was so similar to his prediction of Sekai's problems that he couldn't help but despair a bit.
Somehow, Alec even felt like they could end up meeting the same person. Some cannon fodder that was there to move the plot along.
So, yes. It was definitely better for the three of them to stick together until Alec managed to pry apart the seal on Sekai's neck.
After obtaining the information from Sekai, the idiot could get lost for all he cared. But not before.
"The three of us should stick together for the time being," Alec reiterated.
"Hah?" Sekai growled. "Why the hell should I stick with you punks?" he said, displeased at the idea of having to stick around with the System for any longer than necessary.
Alec directed the gentlest, warmest smile at him, and Sekai felt a chill run down his spine. "Your seal? Have you honestly just forgotten about your seal already?"
Sekai struggled with himself, but reluctantly gave in.
He honestly didn't want to stick around the System. After all, he was the one who had caused him no small amount of pain with his curse that he wouldn't be able to find a lover.
However, the System was also his best shot at getting out of this. "Fine!" he shouted, but then he stabbed a finger in Alec's direction. "But, why are you acting like that, huh!? You faker! You're all smiley now!"
Elysia tilted her head at the side, confused by Sekai's words. "What do you mean? Alec's always this smiley! Like me!" she pointed both of her index fingers at her smile, beaming at both males.
Alec smiled back at Elysia. "Right?"
"Wow," Sekai spat out. He couldn't believe what he was seeing happening right in front of his eyes.
What sorcery was this?! Alec's smile seemed so gentle and so inviting that Sekai would have been fooled if he hadn't known the System before this.
This was a scam!
A straight up scam!
And that little girl was falling for it!
"Anyway, this is Sekai," Alec introduced Elysia. "Sekai, this is Elysia."
Sekai eyed both of them before turning around with a huff. "Whatever."
Elysia grinned. "Nice to meet you!"
"Yeah, yeah. You too," Sekai grumbled lowly.
He could just tell that he wasn't going to get a fight out of either of them any time soon.
But then he brightened up.
This was a whole different place, which meant that he wouldn't have to worry about the company when he was here, right!?
That was a good thing.
He could go and play to his heart's content.
Before Alec managed to get the damn brand off him, he wasn't going to step a single step back into the Kaoriht continent.
Not when they would be able to track him down in a mere couple of hours.
"Haha! Let's go!" Sekai charged out, not even checking whether Alec and Elysia were following behind.
Elysia let out a laugh before running after him, grinning cheerfully at Alec. "Let's go, Alec!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Elysia continued her explanation. It was simple, really. "I was taking down some bandits along the way when the boss of the group fled into some sort of cave.
