Chapter 37: Waiting For That Day
Kaiju and Griffin soon arrived on the main base. Kaiju was familiar with the environment, and ignoring the fact that Griffin leaned on a gargantuan tree, closing his eyes while waiting, he was certain this was the place he interacted with them.
Kaiju peeked at Griffin. He tried to sense first if Griffin wanted to be disturbed or not, but since, out of curiosity, he wanted to ask a question and perceiving Griffin was fine to have a conversation, he asked, "Don’t you all stay with each other?"
Griffin opened his eyes, glanced at Kaiju indifferently, and closed them again, mumbling, "After three months we were trained by Qwanisha, she confidently ordered us to be independent and must explore the place by ourselves. Hence, we have our own base. She was not even content and instructed us to be far from them, as though she was abandoning us. That was why we arrived late after you met with the other races."
Kaiju nodded in understanding.
"To be honest, you are lucky, yet unlucky to meet them. I’ve been wanting to meet them, but it seems they cover their tracks so well. Well, if they wanted to, they would."
Kaiju thought for a while and replied, "Perhaps, they have their own agenda, too."
Griffin laughed half-heartedly.
"They have... plotting against each other."
Kaiju recalled his teacher’s lesson. He wanted to talk about it more with Griffin, who possibly has more knowledge than his teacher.
"My teacher once said that higher races due to their constant wars became one of the main reasons why we are still alive and even contend with them in some parts of the Tower. Why won’t they just band with each other and annihilate us or some other races?"
"Band together?" Griffin snorted. "As if they will."
