Somehow, Slon was wearing the exact smile on his face.

He didn't really understand Vorona's obsession with Shizuo but he understood very well that the less adversaries they had the better it was and the more chances they had to get out of this alive.

He whispered :

"Hey, hey Vorona, what do we do now?"

"For the time being the answer is not clearly known. Will killing the little brother has an effect on Heiwajima Shizuo? Will it make him less able to fight? Should we simply go after him and leave the little brother alone? Until the answers to these questions are known I am afraid we can't decide on any course of action"

Both of them stayed silent for a while observing their surroundings.

"Hey Vorona, I think I can try to answer."

"Trying never hurt anyone. Please continue"

"I think that killing Hanejima Yuuhei will have an effect on Heiwajima Shizuo, and I think it will probably make him mad. Really mad"

The girl nodded "Indeed, it does make sense"

"I also think that it won't affect his fighting skills. If it does have an effect it will increase his will to fight"

Vorona nodded more powerfully

"Indeed, this too makes a lot of sense. Slon, sometimes I am amazed by the fact your brain seems really close to human mind"

"I'll take that as a compliment, thank you Vorona. Can I continue now?"

Since she didn't answer he took it as the approval to continue

"Last but not least, I think that we should go for the little brother. See, normally there should be only one survivor. If we eliminate him, it'll be one adversary less and more chances for us to win in the end"

"I agree, I'm leaving him to you!"

Slon was taken aback by the reaction, he should have been prepared though, she had not much interest in fighting or killing if she didn't feel challenged by the task. There was no way she could feel challenged by the actor.

"Sure, I'll do it" he said shrugging his shoulders "Any preference on the method?"

"No, not really, just have fun and remember, the more you'll make the little brother suffer, the more Heiwajima Shizuo will be mad and the more he'll be willing to fight"

Picking up his own bag and starting to move toward the motionless man in the glade, Slon turned back to Vorona

"Enjoy the show partner"

"Stop making silly jokes and go, it won't work if he comes back"

"Yeah, yeah I know ..."
