Genji wasn't dense at all, and was easily able to tell that Silas wanted to talk alone. "Alright, come with me and ill get this stuff sorted out for you." He picked up the four clubs and two suits of armor, leaving the Potion there for whoever wanted it, Erica probably being the best one for it since she didn't have any Recovery Items as of yet and thus could desperately use one for emergencies since instant healing Potions were very useful, especially in the world of the Abyss where their HP was pretty much their life. Despite how heavy all of the items that he picked up looked, he was able to carry them rather easily, although if Silas were to opt to Inventory them for temporary transport it would be alot easier to get them to the store room. After they arrived Genji told Silas to wait there as he opened the door to the store room and went inside, closing it behind him. There were probably reasons why he couldn't bring Silas in there. After a few minutes he came out, carrying a stack of yen bills in one hand and a small box in the other, handing the stack of bills to Silas. "That's 70,000 ¥ in total. 10,000 ¥ for each club and 15,000 ¥ for the suits of armor. Not as big of a haul as last time, but still a pretty nice one nonetheless. Split it with the others." After that he closed the door to the store room and locked it before looking back at Silas. "So, what do you want to talk about? Something serious I guess since, judging by your tone, you don't want the others to hear this." Silas followed Genji to the storage room without asking or talking along the way. He wanted to suggest that he carried the items in his Inventory, but Genji seemed to manage it easily, so he didn't bother. Once they arrived at the storage room, Genji went inside with the equipment, closing the door behind him. Silas leaned back against the wall. "Hopefully Genji can help me with this... I don't know what to do." Silas mumbled to himself. After a few minutes Genji appeared again and handed him the money for the equipment. "I'll be sure to hand it to them." Silas said accepting the money. He would need to discuss with Sasha whether Erica should get some too. He didn't really trust her at the moment. But again, he had that same feeling with Sasha at the start. He could remember when they, along with Mike, ran into Genji's little sister. Wonder what ever happened to her. However luckily Genji understood that these were some serious matters. "Okay, please don't get mad at me for what I'm about to tell you." he said and rubbed his forehead before continuing. "I have a girlfriend Tomoyo, she is really amazing, however she keeps worrying about me. The first time I just told that I didn't want her to get involved in this business, and lied about what I was doing. But the last time I was interrogated by her, I told the truth about what has been happening. And now I fear that she might get drawn into this too." Silas let out a big sigh. "I honestly don't know what to do. I often act very distant, but I can't towards her. And I feel you are the only one I can talk about these things, like the Abyss and such. So what's your opinion about this?" Genji listened to Silas' problem and waited until he was done talking before crossing his arms, a bit in thought with a pretty serious expression upon his face. Despite his knowledge of the Abyss and thus what could be classified as expertise on these manners, even he was having a slightly hard time thinking up a solution to Silas' problem since it was such a delicate matter that would have to be approached very carefully. "You seriously are a foolish bunch, aren't you?" Sumi walked up now, wearing her usual attire, carrying some bags in her arms. "Eh, Nee-san, you're already done with classes today?" Genji seemed a little surprised to see her, especially with the fact that she probably heard what Silas had to say. "My last one was cancelled, anyway..." She turned to Silas, staring at him for a few moments before suddenly he would feel a palm cross his cheek with enough force to put him on the ground, probably draining a little bit of HP. It was a good thing his Resilience was somewhat high, or that would have hurt more than it should have. Yep, she slapped him right across the face, to where with her speed Silas would have had barely any time to react, if any at all, this slap surprising Genji, who was about to say something, but was stopped by the very serious, and somewhat angry, expression she had upon her features. "You're a real dumbass you know that?!" She didn't yell it, but with how her tone was she probably would have. "You could have lied to your girlfriend, but instead you put the door to the Abyss right in front of her, and for what purpose? Normally you shouldn't lie to your girlfriend, but with this case I am pretty sure you should have been smart enough to make an exception...just be thankful that you didn't show her your power, or you'd be dead by about now!" "That's enough Nee-san... can't yo--" He was about to speak, but was once again cut off when Sumi spoke. "I can see that its a serious problem and I would love to help, but I have things to do..." With that, she stormed off, seeming a little pissed. Actually, make that very pissed. Genji sighed and offered a hand to help Silas up, awkwardly scratching the back of his head. "S-Sorry about that. Normally she doesn't get that angry but well... she was also in a similar situation to yours once before..." After Silas either accepted Genji's hand to stand up or stood up on his own, Genji would look Silas over. "You alright? That slap was pretty nasty... didn't drain to much of that HP of yours, did it?" He chuckled a little bit, trying to make light of the situation, despite the fact that said slap literally did do 22 Damage. Silas was slammed to the ground with hard force, but he didn't try to resist. He had witnissed some of her strength, and she had plenty of it, and besides he didn't want to put up a fight with the sister of a friend. However how could she possibly understand the situation he is in, you can't just lie forever to your loved one, it's impossible. And while she interrupted, she didn't even bother to help. Silas was helped up by Genji. He had lost some of his HP, jeez that was a hard slam, although he wouldn't really be able to feel it because of the Gamer's power. Genji told that she had been in a similar situation, which kinda was a shock to him. Did she have the same problem as he did? How did she deal with it? And is her current behavior a result of what happened? "No need to apologize." Silas sighed. "Jeez, she really is two hands full." he said. "However before we got interrupted, do you have an answer to my questions? Or should we first look if Sumi is okay... because she doesn't look that way. Well, it's worse than the first time I met her." "Yea, she may be the older sister, but she can sometimes get really emotional. She'll be fine though, she's usually calm and collected, but if she outbursts like that at you, it doesn't mean she hates you...in fact, that was probably her way of trying to help. After all, in the Abyss..." Genji looked down for a moment and sighed. "It can be real hard to get attached to something... especially when..." He stopped there, shaking his head as if he didn't want to go any further, deciding now to change the subject back to Silas. "As for your problem, it seems you have two options. The first is to step away from the Abyss yourself, and I believe at your level you still may be able to. This way, you and your girlfriend can live a normal life. If you really do want to continue living in the Abyss, then just keep doing so, but make sure your girlfriend doesn't get any further involved. Don't give her any info on the Abyss, don't tell anyone that she knows about it; even the other Gamers. Its not that you can't trust them, its just safer this way. You should trust them, just don't tell them about this. And the final thing to do... is just to have her keep living normally. Hunters can't go after normal people and normal people can't enter Pseudospace. Do all of this, and you two should be fine." He sighed after finishing his speech, looking at Silas. "Anyway, you should head home. Don't worry about Nee-san, she'll be fine. In fact, if you guys do come tomorrow, she'll probably be the one here for training, as I have class tomorrow. So lets get you back to the others so that you all can go home, as it is starting to get late." With that, Genji began to walk back to the Pseudospace room, expecting Silas to follow. And if he did, soon enough they would be back with Erica and Sasha, the martial artist giving the two of them a wave. "Hey ladies, you miss us? Me and Silas here just had a little chat, but don't worry, everything's fine, we were just talking about guy stuff." Silas didn't say much when Genji told about his sister. Silas himself had a little sister, and was an good terms with her, despite not seeing her that often. But he guessed that Genji and Sumi had their own little brother-sister relationship. He wondered what happened in their past, seeing as Genji sounded a bit sad when he talked about the people close to him. But he shouldn't think too much about it. At least not right now. "Well thanks for giving me some advice. I probably will skip tomorrow's lessons, despite me liking that sassy sister very much." he said sarcastic, but with a smile on his face hoping it would not sound too mean. Although he rarely smiled, and thus it was kinda an awkward smile. "I guess I'll stay low, at least for now. I might make contact with you again, but I don't want to bring Tomoyo in danger." After they ended the conversation they headed back into the Pseudospace where Erica and Sasha were still waiting on them. Silas approached them and gave both of them a third of the money they earned by selling the equipment to Genji. He had completely forgotten that he didn't want to give a third to Erica, but he didn't really care at this moment. When Genji mentioned they were talking of guy stuff, Silas replied: "Don't think too much of it." and then looked at Genji. "I guess we will go now." "Alright, see you guys later then, and remember to keep training, but also make sure to stay safe. Your safety is the most important thing after all..." He walked them out of the Pseudospace Room and locked it once they were all out, waving all of them goodbye as they left as it was indeed starting to get pretty late, so it would probably have been best if they all headed home right away.
