Proceeding into the Abyss

"W-what about him?" Gina asked, voice trembling when Rodrick's sharp eyes went to her.

Rodrick grinned and looked at Gina under the bridge of his nose. "If you want to bring him along, then go ahead. It's on you if he dies, though."

Gina hid behind Felix and trembled, chin crumpling and eyes full of tears.

"D-don't mind about me," Martus sat on a chair and took a deep breath. "I'll just be a hindrance."

"I'll take him out," Felix said.

"Not you, brat," Edgar spat and pointed at Gina behind him. "You. Go and escort him outside."

"Eh?" Gina shuddered visibly.

"What? It's your idea to help him." Lilian smirked behind her fingers.

"Besides, you're useless in this group. We need that brat here, so you go and take that NPS out," said Edgar with a scowl. "Or do you want me to force you? I can do that too."
