Chapter 1572 Meg Wins

--- Kamiko ---

They left the bunker soon after and they were all glad Meg didn't just bust down the doors. They even went so far as to pile up some more garbage around the door to make it a bit harder to get into. Once they were out they got back on the move.

Robots were still a regular occurrence but remained to be no real threat. One did explode... but not all that violently and as everyone was at least Rank 3 it didn't do more than get their clothes a bit dirty. It was when things got a bit turned around that Kamiko couldn't help but ask, "Are we still going the right way?"

"Yes?" said Meg confused. "What makes you think this isn't the correct way? Do you not trust my calibrations or is there some other reason?"

"We're walking on the ceiling..." answered Kamiko.

"Yes and? The space here is completely warped. The fact that we're walking on grass and yet it feels like we're upside down is honestly a minor complication. If it bothers you so much I can break the knot here keeping us upside down?" explained Meg.

"Wait you can do that?" asked Kamiko.

"Yes. If you've got enough strength you can destroy a lot of magical effects even if they're environmental ones. You do have to know where to strike but with my power that's the easiest part. So do you want me to fix the perspective or not?" asked Meg.

"Um... I want to say yes... but um... clearly you didn't just jump into it so like is there a reason?" asked Kamiko.

"Obviously there's a reason dumbass. The main one is that if I keep breaking them I might tear a hole in space. I could cut this one just fine... but the next one? And the one after that? At some point it would be a real problem so it's better to just get used to it now if I'm being honest," said Meg.

"And the other reasons?" asked Kamiko.

"I mean, you break them too many times and bad things happy and maybe you're closer to the limit then you think but it's also exhausting. Gotta chuck a whole lot of physical force at just the right spot alongside a good deal of demonic fire to really twist things around and you have to hold it there for a bit, maybe add in a few more punches.

It's a lot of effort and I wasn't all that interesting in putting it in or admitting it. There happy?"

Hunter slid over and gave Meg a few pats on the head. Meg smiled. That was a lot more than one pat and while it was a touch embarrassing to admit those facts Kamiko could see she was clearly happy with the exchange, even humming a bit under her breath.

Soo... that's a touch awkward. I didn't realise we were being overheard by Hunter... I wonder which parts she did hear or if she heard it all? I also don't know what to think about the fact she didn't tell us. I mean, I sort of get why she didn't just admit to hearing us at the time, perhaps tipping Meg off...

But did Meg hear us as well? It's still not clear just how strong she is comparatively but I wouldn't want to push things. Urgh. This is not what I wanted to learn... but Hunter is trying. And... is that a good thing? I mean... it's nice she heard our concerns and is acting on it but I just don't know how to deal with that information.

Not really.

Why does this have to be so hard? Meg was so happy with just that little be of acceptance from Hunter and I think that together they could do great things. I don't mean in the romantic sense, though I suppose that would be acceptable as well... just... I feel like together they could both be a lot happier. I think they'd make each other better people...

But it's not like I've ever been good at explaining that to other people. I was only able to say so much recently because I was talking to kat and I trust her to listen to me and respect my answers and not just laugh at me. So... do I meddle more? We're kinda on an important mission... urgh. Doing the right thing to help people who might be my friend now is a pain.

Then again... I'm the one who wanted friends and with Kat here I've never been more confident. I can actually talk to people. Sure it's not always the most graceful but I can hold full conversations with a lot more people now... and Hunter is nice. Meg is still an asshole but... maybe that can be worked on. And I do think everyone deserves friends.

I guess it's just a question of how much I want to risk here and how much courage I have.

Kamiko felt herself stumble, lost in thought as she was, when they hit a transition and suddenly everything was swirling. It was like looking into a moving kaleidoscope on acid. "Oh god what the heck!?" moaned Kamiko. And then suddenly everything looked normal again.

"Told you I could break it... and I was not willing to put up with that shit," grumbled Meg. Kamiko swallowed down her nausea and kept moving. That... didn't help sort her thoughts out. At all.
