Benkei sighed at the sight of his brother acting like a lush and continuing to ramble on in their mother tongue. At least no one save Rael could understand him.[color=98A9B1]”[abbr=This is why I don’t drink]これが私が飲まない理由です[/abbr]”[/color] He muttered, helping shoulder his older brother to lead him outside. As they led Kazuki outside, Benkei’s thoughts chased around the idea of approaching Mystic Prophecy again. 

[color=98A9B1]”I’m not sure my brother and I should go to Mystic Prophecy. Not yet, anyways.”[/color] 

[I][color=98A9B1]We don’t have the luxury of following the moderator’s orders. We have to complete this dungeon.[/color][/I] How ignorant he had been! If he could just go back to their preparations, to go back before the dungeon. He'd slap every single one of them, he'd cave the main room in. Anything to keep them from progressing a step further into that nightmare. He'd make them all sign off at once. Whatever it took to save them, instead of what had transpired.

He’d missed Luci’s admonitions against him and his brother; by the time the rest of Mystic Prophecy had met up with them, he’d long since lost consciousness. But his brother’s face the next day, the looks given to him, he [I]knew[/I] what the looks meant. He’d seen them every day of his life at home. 

His gaze moved over to Kazuki, still drunk like a salaryman after work.[color=98A9B1]”I wonder what would have happened had things been different. If I’d not been so obsessed with trying to be the best at something. If I’d stopped trying to be like Kazuki.”[/color]
