Another Life

Purgatory 2

The leftists were walking in the lead of the main village in the dense woods of purgatory. Surrounded by thick forests but hot, the wonders and temperatures were not hot, and normally insects, animals, etc. would be uncomfortable to be there, but there was no appearance of insects or animals, rather the more comfortable.

The leading armored main village and the other demon were pulling the reins that were floating in the universe for some reason of a horse without a neck, and the left-hand side couldn't help but worry about it, but the bead seemed sorry to speak to the main village.

"Ensign... I am truly sorry for your battle at Willow Seong"

It was a bead of sincere apology for his mistakes and those of the Hyogo, but Honmura, the person of the day, replied with a surprisingly clammy face.

"It's not for the princess to care. It's common practice to kill in battle.

Besides, I died protecting the people at the end of the day... I haven't done a lot of things before, but I'm really glad I did good at the end of the day. Well, I became a demon in hell, "

"Honmura...... Are you sure it was good to be a demon?

It was Pandora who said so, but Honmura answered with his chest open.

"Of course it is. We, the Knights of Hasha, are running toward the dream that the princess said would conquer hell and purgatory to the heavens."

They're really like loyal dogs, aren't they? At the end of the near-left gaze he thought so, he saw the flickering and near-left, and when he saw the demon of the octopus, he asked the question.

"What's wrong, you've seen me before?

To that near-left question, the devil answers with regret.

"Yes, no... I know it's very rude, but the sire and the princess smelled quite delicious."

To the exact devil's answer, he replied with a smile, saying that the left-hand side did not smell, but that it smelled delicious and made him feel better.

"I hear this is the smell of God because he seems to be God's messenger. All the armor my daughter Pandora is wearing and all my armor is God's protective gear, so it sounds like it's going to smell like this.

Well, I have no idea, but you're a really good guy. What's your first name?

The devil answered the unexpected, near-left answer with a surprising but complex face.

"No… I do not have a name because I was originally born as a demon"

... I can do it! Was this a landmine question? But it's inconvenient that you don't have a name.

With that said, when Pandora and I met, we didn't have a name. Well, he said two weird names or Reapers had given him a name of their own.

But it's kind of bad that I name it myself.

When the left-hand side thought so, the main village questioned the left-hand side in surprise.

"Um... Your Majesty has always been a man of apostolate?

"Well, will it? Even this body, Mia... oh, Mia is the god of our world. The real name, it's hard to pronounce, so I nicknamed it.

Well, I got that Mia to build my body, and I got a lot of skills, and I'm asking her for a favor, so she's an apostle... maybe. "

"Is that it? You did get paid, didn't you? Even though I'm being paid, I feel totally hired to do what I ask... more like an employee than an apostle... a little different?

Yes, because it's about your father, he won't do anything against his logic, and depending on the reward and the reason, he feels like he's going to be an enemy at any time... not like a mercenary?

Pandora, do the right thing... but I just can't tell you that I'm hitting it. Nevertheless, a mercenary of God...... that's cool.

With that in mind, the left and near sides are niggers, and Pandora wonders, at any rate, what is not a rock? When the forest opened, the dense forest where the left and near sides had been until now was on a small high hill, and at its foot there was a black western-style castle around which the castle was spread.

Wow... you're building a castle town in Purgatory. Pandora said it was totally unproductive, but you know what?

With that said, why is there a main village in Purgatory? No, in the first place, if the Knights of Hasha are here, Pandora and Testa will find out about the devil... surprisingly, it could be a bad situation...

That's what I thought. The left-hand side asked the main village to move on.

"Hey, Main Village. Now, I heard that this purgatory is definitely the hell of an angel, a demon, a reaper... were you really a demon?

"Hahaha, no way. Someone was a human being... but now he's a demon."

"Now what?

In a strange way, near left, Honmura said something surprising.

"As a matter of fact, this warlord was the devil in charge… Ah, I mean the devil in charge, hell, the devil tortures, washes away his sins, reincarnates in circles, but this warlord has just been born with anything, doesn't know how to torture him, and for some reason he gets along, and if he enjoys living with a warlord, the deputy chief of bailiffs leads an army and comes to raid a prison where he was.

I was also surprised to see the Deputy Commander in Hell, but what was even more surprising was that the Deputy Commander was breaking out of prison and using the King of Hell's covenant to become a demon and form the Knights of Hasha in Hell.

So one of them joined the regiment with the captain and became a demon who said he was the deputy captain's family… The deputy captain of anything became the direct demon of the king of hell, so his family also has a lot of power. "

... What the hell are they doing in hell? Seriously, aren't you a fighting people?

But the King of Hell is certainly a Pandora... he was turning his hands in the shadows. Nevertheless, if you're a newborn demon, don't you know about Pandora?

"Honmura...... sorry, I have a bad feeling, maybe you conquered hell?

So he answered with a smile, near the left holding his head.

"Of course. It took me about a hundred years, but I conquered hell.

Well, to be honest, the kings who ruled hell and the demons under their command disappeared for over a thousand years, and all sorts of demons were eloquent, so they didn't take control at all, and surprisingly conquered clams. "

Well, because Pandora and the testas, they're summoned into this world. Maybe hell was falling apart too much and the faction was getting too small.

"So, how did you get here to Purgatory?

"As a matter of fact, Captain Robin's deputy occupied the absent King of Hell's Castle for the princess, and when he discovered something like a hidden passage in the treasure trove beneath him and moved on, he was connected to this world.

So, the deputy chief finally told me to build a purgatory base and use it as a stepping stone for the princess's purgatory rule, and we came here about forty years ago to renovate the castle and build a castle town. "

To the words of the main village answering with a smile, Pandora said, "Shut up, you said you were going to wait for me," but his face seemed somewhere happy to know that the governor was well.

Knowing how Pandora felt, he asked the main village a question when he smiled at Pandora's helmet and slapped her gently.

"But purgatory residents heard that they were totally unproductive, and it's amazing to build a castle town."

Everyone nodded at the word near the left, and the main village denied the clam.

"It wasn't purgatory residents who built it. There are no Purgatory residents... there are either Hell's Deceased or Devil. It is also limited to those who have been born within a thousand years."

"Why is that?

"This world gradually strengthens desires, explodes, and loses reason, even when the devil is hungry, etc. So demons who have lived for more than a thousand years lose reason because their desires are too strong.

Around here, young demons, their desires are still small and reason works.

And the deceased's desire to explode is mostly an obsession with raw. The more your body hurts, the more sin is purified and wounded, the quicker you can reincarnate.

So with battles, everyone will be happy to head there...... but without discipline, you can't win battles you can win either. So we are waiting for torture to prescribe the law and inflict mental suffering if we break the law.

Mental distress is tighter than physical distress… Everyone doesn't want to be subjected to mental torture, so they follow it very carefully. "

That's a pretty good way to govern. Boulders are like babysitters.

But if Robin is coming, his desires explode too... he's always exploding, so it doesn't seem like much of a difference.

I think so, but Zhu asked the main village a question.

"Ensign, I told you Robin was here too...... are you okay?

"It's okay...... no, it's okay, or maybe you're right to say that you haven't changed much because you were always behaved with desire"

... after all, a big win.

I think so. Next to the left proximity, Pandora said, "That idiot" with his head, and the left proximity and the beads, it had to laugh bitterly.

Then, after the main village killed him, the other world, as he was talking about what had happened, went out into a big brand new street and kept going, he saw the castle town surrounded by black Western-style walls, and the main village smiled.

"This person will be the home of the purgatory of the Knights of Hasha, sitting at Wu Castle. Of course, the princess's throne has already been completed so that whenever the princess can come"

… it sounds like you should die at any time.

Pandora also looked complicated in front of the left hand side, who was about to accidentally scream at the guard soldier, when he approached the castle gate.

"Our Lord, Master Pandora, is here! Sound the horn! Welcome aboard!

In the words of the main village, the soldiers of the castle gate moved out in haste, and a giant horn of creatures greater than elephants, made of mammoth horns, sounded, and when the giant castle gate was slowly opened, the streets made of wood and bricks appeared there, and all the buildings on the main street were raised with flags with the crests of the Knights of Hasha.

When the main village and the devil walked ahead, surrounded by a strange feeling that they did not know whether it was purgatory or the real world, they were somehow cheering from the people gathered along the road.

... Purgatory is a far cry from my imagination. Where did the first slaughter go?

I think so. Near left and Pandora looked at the structure of the castle, called the territory of the castle, and leaned their necks, as they took the helmet and felt strange, but walked in cheer and proceeded to the castle.

The structure of this castle… The path that runs from the peripheral castle gate straight to the castle on the main road is not practical, and I don't like the walls that gleam like black marble, as if to show my strength. It's as if we value only the appearance and have no practicality at all… It's like Lord Nobunaga's castle, Yasutu Castle.

Unexpectedly, Pandora questioned the disgruntled left-hand side.

"Father, are you unhappy?

"I don't know, if you're looking at this castle, remember Lord Nobunaga's castle... no, it's completely different in shape and territory, but the air is similar. Back then, the Tatsui family was really tough, so I didn't feel very good about it."

"Oh, it was in that father's memory, Antu Castle. With that said, it doesn't feel like a fortress, it feels like this castle is a symbol of power somewhere, and the atmosphere is similar.

But if you're coming, it feels like you're coming, and I like it. What do you mean, the one who can afford the strong?

You can afford a strong man... I hope he doesn't shrink his feet.

With that in mind, when the left-hand men approached the castle, soldiers lay flat at the castle gate, and in the center of it, Robin and the young men of the early twenties lay flat, but Pandora's eyes filled with tears, running and screaming unexpectedly.

"Shit!"

... Huh? Do you understand that?

Pandora said with a smile in front of the near-left eye, where her eyes dotted unexpectedly, as she embraced the governor as a young man with a raised face, falling back in momentum.

"Princess. Well, I see it's someone."

"I get it, moron...... yet, you've been well"

"This is the right place to be, rejuvenated, and too energetic. You've become a man."

"Yeah, yeah......"

With that said, burying his face in the chief political officer's chest, seeing Pandora, Robin looked a little envious or lonely, and the left-hand side called out from behind.

"Yo, you look good too"

And Robin answered the nearest left word with a disgusting face.

"My lord... it wasn't, Your Majesty seems to be doing well. Before that, what is it, what is this smell?

"Oh, yeah. What is this smell… for a long time now, I've been dying to eat crumbs"

... on the same level as the Sawdust. You smell pretty bad.

Though he thought so, he wiped his tears, and answered.

"This smell, it seems, smells like me or weapons. I'm a messenger who works for God, and I got this weapon from God, so it stinks..."

Near left, depressed to say so, did this feel bad, Robin and the Chief of State said with a smile.

"Look, Your Majesty. Go around, this smell might suck. Besides, some women like the smell."

"That's right. To some, it smells delicious, and this allows you to go as many cups of rice as you want.

I'm surprised your majesty was a messenger of God. "

"Yes, yes. It's most incredible that His Majesty is the messenger of God. Either that or the devil king or the great king of hell."

That was how Robin and the governor followed him desperately, but the left proximity was even more depressed, and he said, looking down.

"Jack told me the same thing... Seriously, was I so evil and outrageous..."

Seeing how depressed he was near left, Robin said to change the subject, how everyone felt when speaking up.

"Yes, I'm going to make it for the princess, why don't you look at the throne?

Did you notice the care of Robin, who said that Pandora would also rise away from the governor?

"Right, let's see. More than that, I want to take off this stinking armor, so lend me a room."

"Well, let me show you."

Now you felt it was better to stay away from the left-hand side, and the Chief Executive took a gaze at Robin's "traitor," but also led Pandora and Testa.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Even in the castle, on the top floor of the tower located in the deepest part, Pandora's room was made.

All the previously murderous rooms were renovated, made in hell, lined with luxurious conditioning, in the royal palaces of Lake City and Sacramento, in luxurious rooms like his own, Pandora and Testa entered, dressed in battle dresses prepared by Testa, while talking to the governor standing in front of the door and through the door.

"... hey, duh. I have to apologize..."

To Pandora's abrupt words, he understood that it was about his wife Gabriella, and decided instantly what had happened and asked questions.

"Gabriella and the child, are you dead..."

Pandora answered the sad chief's voice by biting her lips.

"Only Gabriella... After that, when Gabriella heard that Jiri had died, she tried to commit suicide in the water later. At the time, she was helped by Inari Shoba, the elder of Lu Ao Shou. Gabriella told me that she didn't want to go back to the army filled with memories of Jiri, and I, Amiria and Inari, decided to kill Gabriella and entrust it to Inari.

Inari said that when the civil war ended, he was promoted to Inari and Gabriella had a child in Omi. Now, a very similar, energetic boy, Gabriella, said his name was Yabuki.

But to those who fell ill after childbirth and did not return... the body was taken away by us and placed in the tomb of the Fountain Dragon Temple... I am truly sorry. "

Pandora, to that extent, on the other side of the door, felt the sign of a political governor who would kill his voice and cry, and when he was unable to say anything, he eventually heard the political governor in a trembling voice.

"Nothing, the princess will not sit down to apologize. Instead, you've done this far, and I'm really happy and happy.

... Gabriella would have been really happy to have done this to you. Besides, Gabriella didn't come to hell, so Gabriella probably went to heaven.

How good...... really good. So, what happened to the violin?

"He is an Inari guardian, and his servants have begotten a child, so he will raise it with him. And when the time comes, let me choose whether to be a knight or a housekeeper as I am, whichever way I choose, I plan to be the Uhat parent"

"The princess told the utter hat parents... I can't thank you enough for that. Thank you so much."

To the voice of the governor who said so, Pandora felt the governor quietly bowing his head on the other side of the door, and when he had finished dressing without saying anything, he put his armor and weapon inside the item box and opened the door and said,

"Twitch, twitch son, will definitely go into Hasha. He's my son, and there's no reason to be so hard on him."

"I think so, too."

I was the two people who smiled unexpectedly at the words of the governor who said so, but I smelled cum and smell the smell of Pandora's nose, smelling the smell around the testa.

"To? Huh?

Unexpectedly, while ignoring the surprise testa, it was when Pandora smelled the smell around her skirt, standing up and staring at the testa and asking questions.

"Testa, you... you must be pregnant, right? That's your father's kid, too."

To the exact words of Pandora, when the governor looked at him and was surprised, Testa replied in a bewildered manner.

"No way... it can't be... I can't believe it's just one time..."

Pandora glanced and said to the tester, who accidentally blocked his mouth, "I said" to the words he had spoken.

"Only once, I guess, but that fucking father's ability to reproduce is the ability of goblins to reproduce bright blue too. Moyette was born, so it will prove it."

To Pandora's words, Testa apologized on the spot.

"I'm so sorry! Your Majesty has no sin, I will sit on everything that is wrong.

I will be punished for anything, so please let me serve your side like this!

So it was a testa with her head bowed, but the face beneath it was a face that was swelling her chest with some anticipation.

And the governor, unaware of the matter, said with pity for Testa, Pandora was shrugged with his arms in his arms.

"There's nothing wrong with you. Everything is wrong with that fucking father... yes, I came up with a good thing.

Surely that fucking father had the skills to kill this purgatory dweller. If you were born with that skill, you would be the head of the Purgatory Branch of the Knights of Hasha and king of Purgatory.

That will help the servants, and you will not be seen as a servant's child if you take them home.

Anyway, there's a discrepancy between this world and the other, so even about fifteen years from birth to serving, there's only about fifteen days in the other world, so it's okay enough.

But I'm gonna ask you one last time, can I leave my kid? Besides, don't you have to be queen even if you're back?

To Pandora's words, he replied with a serious face that he felt that Pandora had changed nothing.

"Of course. It is my desire to serve His Majesty and the Princess, even when children are born."

... Lieutenant Colonel Testa, how dare you be more loyal than your own son? But how pitiful is the child to be born...

That's what the governor said to Pandora when he thought about the child to be born.

"Princess. Please, at this moment, will you entrust the princess's brother with your patronage?

Make sure you grow up to be a good man and become a Uhthat parent. "

Pandora answered the President's offer, thinking for a while with her arms together.

"Shit, I'm assuming it's the man who's gonna be born. But I'm really glad you're a good guard... can you ask?

"I will certainly raise you to look like a fine samurai."

To the governor, who said so and bowed his head, Pandora smiled gently, "Come on, let's go beat the shit out of my father," and headed between the thrones where the left-handed men would be waiting, but in the hallway Pandora's ears heard a woman running with each other.

To that voice, Pandora remained in that posture when she stopped pitching and questioned the chief political officer.

"Hey, what's in the other room?

"Huh!? No, it's... the..."

Unexpectedly to the attitude of the word-clouding governor, Pandora's eyebrows moved pickly and questioned the governor.

"That's Robin's harem, isn't it?

Pandora started walking, saying, "Enough is enough," to the governor, who, as the same man, is confused as to whether to defend Robin or take loyalty to him.

That fucking gacair. Holy shit, building my castle with Harlem and all that shit! I'll definitely kick your ass!

Pandora, wrapped in such murderous anger, walked again as she was, and behind her, the governor followed her with regret.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Around that time, before the banner of the Black and Huge Knights of Hasha was flying, there was a golden throne on which Pandora was to sit, and from the ceiling of the room, which was a blowout upstairs, several Knights of Hasha banners were flying.

And on the red carpet that followed the throne, sitting as if the left proximity had been depressed, he was comforted by Robin, and as the beads beheld, when the door between the giant thrones opened vigorously, an angry pandora came in and cried out.

"Quarra! Two men there! Sit right there and line up. I'll kick your ass in turn!

Pandora, who said so and took the colt out of the item box, relentlessly pulled the trigger with his left proximity and a gun point at Robin, who screamed, hastily crawling on all fours but hiding behind the pillars.

"Wait a minute! Why all of a sudden, you're bluffing! Besides, in the first place, why are you bringing a gun!

"That's right! Your Majesty may have something in mind, but why me?

That said, Robin rushes to hide his face when a bullet fired by Pandora hits him near Robin, who shouts a little face. And Pandora, who had shot him up, was replacing the magazine, and when the beads tried to stop him, Pandora shouted at him.

"Your sister, shut up! To my fucking father, the sin of hurting Testa and even making him a child! Robin is guilty of making such a bastard of Harlem in this castle!

Hearing the exact words of Pandora, everyone looked in a hurry in the left-hand direction, and Robin shouted to the left-hand side.

"You're lying, Your Majesty! How could His Majesty have dropped it if I couldn't even drop it! Besides, even children, how strong are they at reproduction!

"I've never even heard of you before!... Well, there are things that come to mind, so I'm not surprised to hear that you've had a child.

More than that. What is it, Robin? Harlem! How envious you live!

"There, surprise! I envy His Majesty! Why Testa and... oh, I wanted to fuck you!

Whatever the words between the left proximity and Robin's similarities, when Pandora abandoned the colt and pointed one hand in the direction where the left proximity was hiding, this was said by the governor, who considered it a mess, with Pandora winged from behind.

"Princess, let's calm down a little. If you kill Your Majesty here, this world will be in havoc!

At least sit down and say the princess's sermon… and finally Lord Robin… "

That is what he said, because the governor told him, or before Pandora, who managed to calm his anger, the bead walked in and said with a serious face.

"Pandora, the word...... if it's true, I'll preach with you. No way, getting your hands on Testa is a real dope.

Come on, Father, if you want to apologize, it's within the moment. If you're not going to apologize, let Pandora go and me and Pandora go home... of course, Father, leave me alone. "

To the words of the bead, Near Left and Robin looked at each other, and they came forward, and sat before Pandora, and apologized in the dust seat.

I'm sorry.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

When the left-handed people were going to Purgatory, the time in this world had not yet passed, and Keith and the others who sent the left-handed people went straight to the Cabinet Office and entered Keith's office, a structure similar to that of the left-handed office, because they would not divulge the internal conversation outside, and for a while, when Keith and the others were lenient inside, the door was knocked and the woman's secretary said.

"Your Eminence, Baron Desmond is here"

"Well, let me through"

When Keith told me that the secretary opened the door wide and said, "Go ahead," Keith smiled and said that the expression of Russell, a nervous face, a brother and second son very similar to Ayland, was somewhat tense because all the members waiting were senior aristocrats and even more central to politics.

"Baron, no greetings, please sit down"

"Yes!

Russell said so without realizing his hands and feet were out at the same time, and when he sat in the chair provided, he looked at Keith nervously.

And Keith, who looked at the papers, said to Russell with a smile when he put them down.

"Actually, Your Majesty has a word for Baron Russell Desmond. But before I do, shall I explain a little bit?

This time, we are going to create two new ministerial posts.

One is the Minister of Health, who also oversees national health insurance, hospitals, etc. The other is the Minister of Education, who oversees schools, etc.

At present, there are proposals from the Kingdom of Bastrella, not through the Council, but only in my country, to reach various agreements, consultations on which are forthcoming.

Originally, it is within the jurisdiction of the Treasury, but the Treasury's work is too vast to reach. So His Majesty created these two ministries and created two new ministerial posts.

And here's a word from His Majesty... asking the Desmonds to choose the chair of their favorite minister "

To Keith's exact words, Russell turned his eyes to me and answered with surprise that he was losing his words.

"Yes, no, if I were such a junior aristocrat, if I became a minister, I would buy the disgust of the other aristocrats. Besides, I don't understand both jobs, so shouldn't someone talk to the right person?

And it was the moment when he said, Beet saw Guillaume and Russell, and said,

"Then we must not hear His Majesty's words..."

"No, it's not... so... what His Majesty cares about me has to do with my brother, Ayland, killing him, right?

As a matter of fact, His Majesty once wrote me a letter of apology. Ayland's death was all his own mistake, and the blame lies with him. Please, I want you to forgive me, it said.

Then, if anything, Your Majesty cares about the Desmonds suddenly and carelessly. But it is intolerable to me that His Majesty would buy the grudges of other nobles. "

So Russell, looking down, said with regret, clenching his fist, and Keith answered with dismay.

"Honestly... this report said the same thing. I know it's rude, but let me look into the Baron a little bit.

Well, it's that sire's character, so there's something blindly to trust in those who decide to believe in, and this is how those under your command have to be firm. Nevertheless, I couldn't believe His Majesty had such a kind place...

But, Baron, one thing you seem to be mistaken about your majesty. "

"Make a mistake?

So Keith smiled at Russell, who looked up at him with a strange face.

"Our majesty is really a man who has a lot of blood, fights well, kills people if they get picked up. Besides, I'm always sorry that you have to put yourself in a place like a battlefield.

Therefore, it would be inconceivable to resent the nobility "

"I don't know what you think, but if you do it badly, you might be hoping to start a civil war."

To the words of the beat added, Burrell snorted, adding that Orville was even more surprised.

"No, maybe Your Majesty, that's what you're after. His Majesty's terrible place is the place of thorough realism.

minister the baron, see who moves, before it's a battle, there's also the possibility of turning it off... or showing it off... "

It's a lie... Um, kind sire would do that?

To the exact words of Orville, Russell said with a surprising eye that Bullet Zheng kept his arms together.

"Indeed, Minister Nelson's words also make sense. Your Majesty is after both two and three birds with one stone.

That's what I'm saying, Baron. Perhaps this is His Majesty's ploy.

Think about it. Do you think His Majesty will minister the Baron, without any thought? This is His Majesty's ruse.

But when it comes to ruse, chances are opportunities. It depends on your ability to make this opportunity work. "

"Baron Desmond. Politics is not a game, if you don't have the ability, you can dismiss them relentlessly.

This is what His Majesty said, so could you please take it on?

Desmond thought for a while and answered Keith's words.

"So, may I take on the Minister of Health?

"Yeah, of course. You don't have many days to negotiate with the Bastrella kingdom, so be prepared.

But the formal inauguration comes after His Majesty returns from his needs. Well, by the end of the month, you'll be back. "

"Yes! I'm a young man, thank you!

To Russell's face, who said so, the previous stray had disappeared like a lie, and Keith and the others thought, "This will grow into a good minister."

And when Russell, exiting, closed the door, Keith put another piece of paperwork on the table with a serious face and said to the beats.

"Well, Baron Desmond had no complaints about the person's goodness because it had been rumoured for a long time, but the problem is Count Fabbari, right? My oldest son, Ensign Teodoro, is a good person who is trained in school, in his identity, etc., and doesn't look down on people, but this father and his second son are different...... what do you do?

Don't tell His Majesty I said no here. So, do you want to let me through?

"Prime Minister, that's just not good. Your Majesty's ears are hell's ears, so you'll be noticed."

Exactly when Orville cautioned Keith, Keith smiled.

"That's right. I went to Purgatory, so I'm going to come home with weird abilities... I can't help it, I'm not good at it, but am I going?

Oh, Mr. Bullet, please come with me. We've been together a long time... hey. "

Everyone thought they were definitely on the road, but the beats answered as if they had given up because they didn't want to be on the road, or because they were inadvertently turning their gaze away.

"Okay, let's go."

So he stood up and answered, but he was fed up with his face.
