Knowing now where she was and what happened, she tried running back to the appliance section, which was just a floor above where they currently where, but got her leg dragged by the guy. His arms were able to extend, but the paper became thinner and weaker. while she was running up the stairs.

  She took out her switchblade and cut it to continue to the appliance section. She then grabbed another broom and hit him square in the face with its hilt as he ran after her. 

  Being right in front of him now, he sharpened what was left of his right hand and his left hand into a sharpened blade. He tried going for Yume's legs but she was able to block it with the broom. He took hold of the broom with one of his hands, but Yume just cut it again as she was still holding the blade.

  Running straight at the man now, she spat the chocolate that was sitting in her mouth on his face. Grabbing him and then throwing him out the window.

  "Haa...a window and a light...see, I can...I can control myself." Yume said as she tiredly walked back to the counter area. Not walking down the stairs, instead walking up it heading to the top floor, she saw food piling up in dark corners that couldn't normally be seen. And it was so high up people wouldn't even try to see it.

  "Must've been planning to kill me or something, and then hole up here for a bit. Ugh, looks like I'll have to tell this to pa too."

  Seemingly finally able to catch a breath, Yume and Lili sat in the living room, flicking through channels on the photia, a machine similar to a TV, just resting on the couch. Both of them fell asleep quickly, but not for long as there was knocking on the door just a few hours later.

  "...UGH I'M TRYING TO SLEEP." Yume reluctantly got off the couch and opened the door. "What do you want, you two asses."

  "We are surprised you knew it was us."

  "It'd be harder for me not to know by now, so? What do you want?"

  "Nothing too important. Heard you had some...troubles?"

  "Yeah, in fact I did. And I'd like some rest so fuck off and let a girl sleep." Closing the door, a sword and its scabbard stopped the door from closing completely.

  "May we come in?"

  "...Don't act like it's a question when it's a demand."

  "Mmm, alright, let us in."

  "Both of you get in. Oh and you, melt any more of my shit and you're not in my house again."

  "R-right. Sorry about that."

  ".....It's fine, sorry for being cranky. Just give me a few more hours and then we can talk." Yume fell on to the couch and went straight back to sleep."

  "That was, quite fast."

  "Sorry about earlier, I can wake up early and do stuff but I ain't a morning-talker."

  "That's fine, we came in rather early."

  "So, why're you actually here?"

  "The adventuring team, we were assuming we would talk about it soon so we came first."

  "Oh yeah, that, what about it?"

  "Well, before we met you, we realise that our goals were somewhat similar when it came down to what we needed. To put it simply, we would like you to become our leader to search for the Relics."

  "Ahhh, right, you came into this place looking for the daggers, right?"

  "Yes. I apologise for my...forceful methods, but I need-"

  "Before we start, you guys want me to be the leader, right? Then let's introduce ourselves first since I wanna be in a group with people I'm close to rather than 'coworkers' trynna get the same goal."

  "Hmm, alright, then I'l-"

  "We shall start. We started the plan after all."

  "...Fine, go ahead."

  "Heh, leaving the formalities already?"

  "You're the one who said to, leader."

  "Call me Yume."
