Event Story – Escape The Prison, ch.16

[kozvme]

 

Victor: 「Oh my, you are... not Gray. Jet, is that you?」

Jet: Yo, Victor. Bring back Gray to your world, quick.

Victor: 「...? Just... Gray?」

Jet: Yup, that's right. That filthy pig split up with us and so will remain here.
But who cares, right? We're all set here, so move your ass.

Victor: 「Hm... Somehow it looks as if we are in a bind.
Your personal circumstances have nothing to do with me, nor am I interested in them, but... I will not support Asch being the only one remaining there.」

Jet: Hah, what? I ain't asking for your opinion!

Victor: 「Erasing one person from this world is not that easy. Not to mention that he is a "hero". If he disappears, it will escalate into a quite larger problem.
I do not know who suggested this, but have you thought about the concequences if Gray returns to the real world alone?」

Jet: Tch... Stop whining!
No one asked for your opinion. This is our problem, just shut your trap and listen...!

Victor: 「As long as you are using the device I made, it also concerns me, so I have the right to know.」

Jet: Kh... This know-it-all four-eyes bastardー

Gray: Je- Jet...

Jet: ... Hah?

Gray: L... Let's not do this after all...



Leaving only Asch here and returning to the real world... I can't do such a thing...

Jet: Hah? What the heck are you saying, Gray.
... I'm doing this on your behalf.
I was born because you were thinking of doing it... because you didn't have the guts to.

Gray: ...!

Jet: How were you treated up until now because of him? The suffering you went through?
You're still confined in a place like this, and yet he lives on carefree, not even knowing that.
With no punishment... he lives as he pleases, doing whatever he wants...
That filthy pig was pretty clear about that... He's not going to apology.

Gray: ......

Jet: You okay with that? Can you forgive him?
Can you keep acting as if nothing happened?
… There's no doubt that you wished for that guy to disappear from this world, though.

Gray: ......

Jet: How did you feel when you bought that knife... Gray?

Gray: ......!

Jet: Wh-
Oi, Gray! Wait... Where are you going!?
