Chapter 195: What to do About Kim’s Army
Kim wasn't sure why she was teasing Elmo, but that's what she found herself doing without thinking about it. Almost like she was warming up to him, even though she was fairly sure it was because she was bored at the moment. Not that there was anything to do about that.
While she knew that there wasn't going to be anything really to do on the road, she couldn't help but wish that something would happen. She didn't like the monotony of basic travel in this world.
The previous times they'd walked from one place to another, it had been when she was still getting used to this world. So, now that she was more accustomed to it, this trip was proving to be really boring. Especially since she had her own 'army' with her and that could very well scare off any danger that would have made this trip more interesting.
"You know, given what they just said in that announcement, I think we need to talk about how to handle your army," Jonas said, interrupting Kim's private grumbling.
"What about them?" Kim asked, partly wanting to just pretend that her 'army' wasn't there at the moment.
"Just that we need to figure out what we should assume the announcer meant by 'helping' when it came to the people from this world assisting us," he merely replied.
"Should we explain it to them?" Elmo asked.
"If we could get them to believe us, it might help, but I think the problem would be getting them to believe us," Jonas told Elmo flatly.
"Whatever we tell them, I don't think they'll really listen anyway," Kim remarked, wishing there was a way she could get them to just leave.
"Well, there is a couple options we have," Jonas said. "One is we find a way to kill them off. Either ourselves, or through continuous battle. Eventually they'll all get wiped out with that last one, but we could also find ourselves in a tight situation."
"Why would we want to kill them ourselves?" Elmo asked looking around, clearly worried one of Kim's 'army' might hear.
