how they were?"

~Continued~

Emma:
"Even if there is a solution without having to kill them? Is it ok to massacre innocent children? I refuse to think that way! Even if it's uncertain, if there's a small chance that both sides can survive, let's take that chance and go with it! If we chose our path based on certainity, we never would have escaped."

Norman:
"And, as a result, I was shipped out. So was Y/n."

Ray:
"That's because you decided to-"

Norman:
"We can't make the slightest mistake if we want to save all the children! This is correct."

Ray:
"Why are you so anxious?"

I stood up before placing the drug back into the briefcase and closing it. I started walking away along with Norman:
"Wait with your siblings at the temple."

Ray:
"Hey, wait, Y/n! Norman!"

Emma grabbed Norman's hand:
"Norman! Are you leaving us to be alone again? Don't. I don't want that! Forget about what's correct. Is it what you want to do? Do you truly want to make demons go extinct? To annihilate them? Norman, isn't it....tough?"

Norman's eyes widened the slightest as he retreated his hand and spat:
"No.. This is the future I desire."

Emma:
"Fine. Let's make a deal. I'll go and find Sonju and Mujika. You're looking for them, right? I'll find them for you. In return, don't annihilate the demons. Give me ten days and I'll find them by then."

I spoke sternly:
"Fine. But in three days."

Emma:
"Seven days."

Me:
"Five days."

Emma
"Okay, deal."

Norman:
"Ray?"

Ray:
"I'll go with Emma."
Of course you will. Tch.

Norman:
"Then, it's decided. We will wait five days."

I narrowed my eyes at them:
"If you don't bring them by then, we will proceed with our plan."

Emma:
"Thank you. That is enough for me.

The door opened to reveal Sam,
"Y/n."
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Both of you, be careful." Norman smiled slightly.
"Emma, can I talk to you, privately?" I looked at her and she nodded.
