The Degree
Relationship of the Order & Erina

Five days after the attack. The situation is getting better and the injured people have started to move. Surely those who suffered heavy injuries still lay weakly on his bed.

Ray is no longer managing the Redwest union because Mein has returned to rule in place of Erina. Although he seemed to need a break, but no one was willing to fight the stubborn woman.

The Order has confided its situation to Mein especially the thermonuclear existence which Ray, Leo, Arthur and Sebastian recently came to check. Not to forget they also spread surveillance to the surroundings inconspicuously.

Although the search squad had already been dispatched, until now there was still no news of the existence of the Rebellion headquarters. They seem to disappear swallowed by the earth.

During that time the Order and Mein worked together to strengthen the army. Everyone now knows how crisis is. Sooner or later, these two guilds will clash with the Rebellion.

As long as they don't complete the fifth task, no one will be able to leave Open World.

Just in case the Order also does not convey the existence of thermonuclear to the public. And, only important people who have a role know it.

Then, they also provide strict guard in each basement because that place is the only person getting goods from the Market.

On the sixth day another problem arose. The tracking team found traces of a large number of people moving south. There is no further information, but it is believed that Rebellion was there.

On the seventh day, another event occurred. This was not a bad thing, it was actually happy because Erina had gained her consciousness.

Ray, the Order, and Mein came to see him. Their goal was not just to look, but to ask him for some details that happened to him until such time.

“... I'll wait outside. Please enter first,” Ordo looks hesitant to enter Erina's room which is less than one meter away.

“What's up? That woman can't do anything but with her sharp tongue.”

Ray could not understand why he was holding back now even though the Order usually secretly came to visit to see his condition.

Looking at Mein, the woman seemed not to really care or question her reason. It seemed that he knew very little about the Order and Erina.

“There are a few things. You better explain the situation to him slowly. As you know. Our relationship is not good so he might hesitate to say anything while I was there.”

Ray thought that the Order might only be looking for excuses, but that reason had the truth as well.

“Considerable,” said Ray briefly left the Order pecking in the hallway.

Upon entering they were greeted by a friendly smile from a pitifully beautiful woman. In some places Ray is quite concerned about his condition.

“Nona Erina ...” Mein looked sad and sympathetic.

“Don't look at me like that. I hate it,” he said a little offended.

“Sorry,” Mein stepped up and sat by his side.

Erina looked indifferent to him and only paid attention to Ray. He smiled wryly, embarrassed and sad at the same time.

“I show you an embarrassing side.”

“You are pathetic. But I'm amazed that you can hold it well,” Ray said while taking a seat for himself. He sat on the opposite side of Mein.

“Just the contrary. I'm sure the majority of men want to see that side. Well, even though I never cared about things like that.”

Ray never really cared about keeping face to face in front of the people he loved, or caring about anything else. If only wanted to make a child, with his face, Ray sure could hook a Princess of a kingdom.

Even so, he was actually quite interested in learning about those feelings. Many say that love brings happiness like sweet honey.

“Fu fu, you never change. That side is what I love about you.” Erina turned her gaze to Mein who had been paying attention since. “Now, can you explain the situation to me, Mein?”

“Ya, Miss.”

Mein gave her explanation from the beginning of the attack. Until when he rescued Ray and asked him to come to Erina's place. Then, until the last moment where Blueeast came to help.

Not to forget Mein gave a complete explanation of why Blueeast chose to come and form an unofficial alliance, because the chairman of Redwest directly has not agreed to it.

Erina seemed to accept well and there was no contradiction whatsoever to the current situation. Even if he doesn't oppose, it doesn't mean he accepts.

“Why would that person help me? Wouldn't it be better for me and my union to be destroyed. All he needed to do was pick up as much debris as possible before Rebellion did it.”

Erina looked annoyed and did not believe in the reason of the Order. In some places, Ray saw that Erina seemed a little anxious to cry. Whether sad or something, he couldn't understand it.

“For two years we have been hostile to each other, he should have been able to think of a great plan to defeat me and expel Rebellion. Surely there are other goals that he has, for example want me to owe him.”

Erina didn't seem to be thinking clearly. Ray can feel all of these words coming out purely from his emotions and not the result of mature thinking.

The door then opened followed by the voice of a man who seemed to hear Erina's curse.

“I didn't do it because I care about you. No matter how far we are, how strained our relationship is. Blood ties can't be broken just like that.”

There was the Order who had previously chosen to wait outside, now he came to visit.

Ray watched the words of the Order and he was quite surprised at one thing.

Are they both ...

“How dare you eavesdrop on our conversation from the start. You have a great talent as a stalker. What a disgusting hobby to have!” Erina cursed loudly, and was furious.

“Your tongue is sharp as always. Never changed since two years ago.”

“My sentence is the same. You look as annoying as ever. Ray, Mein's. Gather our troops. We'll be out of here soon!”

Erina seemed to have no willingness to be in this place. If he chooses to withdraw the Redwest union, it means that the alliance is temporarily canceled.

Ray thought that it was a really bad move to take. Had they escaped this temporary alliance, an easy step would have been for the Order to eliminate it.

The order only sighed and had a sad face. Although it would be a great opportunity to immediately complete the bonus task, but he did not take it.

“Isn't it time for us to end this fight, my sister?”
