To Be of Use

Shin’s gentle express hardened a little at my words and that made me realize that this must be a difficult topic for him to talk about as well.

“Yes, he will be…” Shin replied flatly.

“Are you going with him?” I asked.

Shin looked at me with a curious face. He probably wondered why I was asking this.

“Yes, I will be going with him,” Shin replied.

This might come as a shock to you but…

“Please take me with you!” I demanded loudly before bowing low until my forehead hit the table in between us.

There was a long moment of silence as Shin seemed too stunned at my words and action to figure out a response. I could feel his eyes on me as I kept my head bowed low.

“Umm…please raise your head. Bowing to me won’t do the trick like it did with Ren…” Shin said with a small laugh.

Yeah…I didn’t think I could convince Shin that easily either. Slowly, I lifted my head and looked at Shin once again.

“Please, take me to war with you,” I requested once again.
