Chapter 220: Like Being in a Horror Story
As Elmo faced down Jonas, he couldn't be sure if he was looking at a friend or foe. He wanted to believe that Jonas wouldn't attack him, but at the same time, he'd had to knock out three others that shouldn't be his enemy.
He couldn't say if whatever was going on was related to the loud noise that had drawn him out from his tent, but that's about when he at least became aware that something strange was occurring. Namely members of Kim's army trying to forcefully put on some of the armor that they'd acquired from the orcs.
He couldn't be sure what they were thinking, but he was confident that he wouldn't like the results if he let them do what they wanted. Not that he understood what it was that they hoped to accomplish in the first place.
"Are you going to try and put something on me?" Elmo demanded of Jonas, uncertain with how Jonas hadn't tried moving other than dodging Elmo's swing of his quarterstaff.
What confused Elmo even more was how Jonas relaxed at Elmo's question. Jonas didn't look like he was going to respond, but Elmo wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.
At the moment, he was still trying to figure out what exactly had been going on. What was happening and why did it start to happen so suddenly?
Elmo couldn't help but wish someone would tell him what the reason was. That way he'd know if he needed to get out of this camp or if this was just some bizarre cultural thing that happened on this world for whatever reason.
"Help me see if we can get the breastplate off of him," Jonas said, indicating the person that Elmo had kncked out a moment before.
Elmo didn't move at first. He couldn't be sure if this was a trick or not, as he wasn't sure what to expect. Mostly he wanted to go back to sleep, but with what had been happening, he wasn't sure what might happen at any moment right then.
