Justice (End)

[The Day Before---]

"Dorothy."

Cristo called out to me and I smiled, turning my head toward him.

"What is it?"

"I want to talk about what I think of how much you are worthy to become my master again."

I froze on the spot and noticed Cristo's eyes were filled with determination.

(What is it now? Is there something troubling him?)

I only smiled awkwardly at his statement.

"Is that so?"

"I think I can't find your worth."

"Huh?"

(I suppose I didn't try hard enough. But, it's so unlike him to say that so brutally honest.)

For now, it was kind of awkward for me to continue this conversation since he had already said all those things.

I turned my head and bravely met his gaze with a confident smile.

"Then, I guess I have to try harder."

However, Cristo shook his head as if trying to say something else.

"That's not what I meant by saying that."
