Chapter 43: Forsaken (Rewritten)
"...Alright, that’s enough!"
Yanking his hands out of their grasp, Sunny shoved them into his pockets. He didn’t feel comfortable about their strange behavior. Especially since one of the two people that were groping his hands was his hostage.
Seele huffed, discontent about being forced to stop. She started to walk away.
"When you’re ready, meet me at the entrance of the Great Mine."
Staring at her, Sunny sighed. He turned to get March and Dan Heng, but he felt his hand get grabbed, stopping him from going over to them. Turning around, he saw Bronya staring at him with narrowed eyes.
"You... you were the one that kidnapped me, right?"
Blinking, Sunny simply nodded.
"Yeah, I suppose I did do that. How’d you find out?"
He had misled her into thinking that Sampo was the one that kidnapped her and took her to the Underworld. Sunny had thought that she simply didn’t recognize him, so he didn’t find much of a reason to tell her otherwise. Still... it seemed like he had underestimated her intelligence.
"...Your voice sounded familiar, and I remember seeing you in the Overworld. Plus, I heard your name back then. You almost fooled me by pretending to be a child."
Sunny’s eye twitched.
