"Adlet?"
"Huh?" I snap out of my thoughts to see Chamot standing in front of me.
"Is Adlet dreaming about being the strongest man in the world?"
"I am the strongest man in the world!"
"You're anything but." I see Goldof (who wasn't there before... I think?) standing next to Mora.
"But I am!"
"Stop flattering yourself and get back to work." I look at the wall next to me. It's covered in different colors of paint, the residue of one of the saints being thrown into it, and a little bit of blood.
"Adlet needs to clean or else Mora will smash his head into the wall!"
"Chamot, stop. But if you don't finish this in time for the ceremony, I'll make sure that you get every chore in this temple."
"Y-yes ma'am!"
"Come on Chamot, Goldof, we need to start preparing for the ceremony." Goldof and Chamont follow Mora inside the temple.
I look up at the wall, "This is going to take forever to clean, there's even some on the ground! What the hell were they doing? God, I wish I hadn't been blamed for this, I have such bad timing." I grab my brush and bucket again and goes back to work.
"Nya, looks like Adlet has to clean up Chamots mess"
My head spins to see none other than Hans Humpty perched atop one of the many pillars that surround the temple.
"Hans? It's noon, aren't you supposed to be on one of you killing sprees?"
"Nyahahahaha! You can come up with a better insult then that!" Hans hops down and lands a foot away from me.
"Your thinking about something aren't you?"
"W-what?! I'm not!" My face starts to heat up.
He steps a bit closer.
"Don't lie to a genius"
"B-but I'm not!"
He steps closer.
"You're such a bad lair"
"But I'm not lying!"
He stops in front of me, his face so close I can feel his breath.
"Y-you're being awfully dramatic"
He smiles showing me his teeth which includes two small canines on his upper set of teeth.
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Why is he so close!?"
"Your face is very red, A-d-l-e-t" He leans in closer, almost kissing me.
"He's just so close... so close... so.. so close.....
"Ugh... H-Hans...?" I can't see anything, I don't see anything. I can't sit up. I can't move my body. "H-hello?..."
"Adleeeeeetttt!!!!!"
"Huh!?" I bolt up seeing Chamot standing above me.
"Adlet must've fallen"
I get up and look around, Hans is standing behind Chamot with his arms crossed, smirking.
"What's going on?"
"I found you laying on the ground, your face was red, you looked like an idiot, nyahaha!"
"So.. That was a dream? A hallucination? Am I going insane?""Chamot found Hans shaking you with his foot and I helped! I tickled you with this!" Clamot holds up her piece of foxtail, proudly.
"Um, Chamot, can you please leave, I need to talk to Hans"
"Huh, fine, I'll go help Mora, bye bye!" And with that, Chamot ran off inside the temple.
"Why do you need to talk to me alone?"
I turn around to see Hans looking at me with a very confused expression.
"Well, I need to talk to you about something..."
"And that is?"
"U-um... How long do you think I was out for?"
"Hmm, I'd say 15, 20 minutes."
"Oh.. Really?..."
"Also... What were you dreaming about?"
"I can't tell him... even though... it's so tempting..."
"Adlet?"
"OK... M-my... M-my dream was about..."
"About?"
"You."
Hans doesn't look freaked out or surprised, he's smiling.
"Nyahahaha! Me? I thought you were straight! I thought you loved Flamie! Well, you sure are an idiot, nyahehehe."
"W-what!? Did you not hear me!?"
"Oh, I heard you, and I would reply, I just don't want Flamie blowing a hole in my head. So, I think I'll just leave without saying anything, just to be safe."
"But!-"
"Adlet." Hans yellow eyes suddely show from behind his hair, staring me straight in the eye. He looks serious, hNyaas no smile on his face, his arms aren't crossed but instead laying at his sides, his hands limp.
"Even though I'm not answering doesn't mean I don't have one."
"Nya!" Hans returns to his playful nature and hops away.
"He has an answer...!"
