Chapter 18 The possibility of war

"So, is Maria going to see Leo?" Timothy asked me. I've been at school, and now I'm sitting limply.

Timothy shook my hand, and he asked, "Boss, are you sick?"

I turned to Timothy. "I'm fine, but I can't ask Maria to meet Leo."

I heard Timothy and Reynolds on my left and a proper groan. "Are they going to take us to war if we don't comply?" asked Reynold with a frightened face.

I didn't answer. I was still thinking about the possibility that they could meet.

"Boss!" Timothy called out to me so loudly that I almost hit him in the face because he screamed right in my ear.

"Why are you screaming in my ear?"

Timothy moved away from me, and he already saw my hand that was about to fly towards him. "S-sorry, Boss."

While we were chatting, someone tapped my shoulder several times from behind. "Boss! Boss! Boss!" shouted another creature who called me "Boss".
