Chapter 360: The Scream-Gathering Sky (2)
I tried my hardest to explain why “Wassup, man” wasn’t the way people greeted each other nowadays. In short, I had to explain the phrase to the owner of the Tower, but neither of us had ever imagined that such an explanation would be necessary... Well, no one had expected this, actually. Who could have seen it coming?
“I know that, Death King. Did you think I didn’t know? I was just trying to ease your tension by cracking a joke.”
I laughed monotonously. “That was a good joke, ma’am.”
“Of course. After all, I’m the master of the Tower. Anyhow...” The Tower master narrowed her eyes. “Since an objection has been raised, we should address it.”
With her purple eyes, she glanced at me, then at the mage. “Death King and Primordial Staff, please step forward."
The Pillar stepped forward, gripping her staff.
The Tower master was sitting where the Sun Queen used to sit in the original chamber, though not on the throne, but at the base, leaning her head against its arm.
The Primordial Staff and I were facing each other across the throne.
“The one who raised the agenda is the Scream-Gathering Sky, and the raised agenda is a vote of no confidence on the Primordial Staff. Is that correct?”
“Yes,” I replied with a nod.
The Tower master mused, her chin resting on her palm. Her lips fought to suppress a smile.
“It’s a vote of no confidence, not a complaint or a proposal. Good!” she said in high spirits. Before I could react, she added, “First of all, the Pillars shouldn’t find this unpleasant.”
