"Um, magic beam?" I said. "Does it even matter?"
Nea sighed and shook her head. "I guess not."
RUDE! She was supposed to say 'oh my! what a majestic attack, lord Ivan! I was wrong about you and your power, how can this world make up for this mistake before you annihilate us all with your ultimate attack, the beam! Apologize, world, lest he attack it to a mecha and shout GIGA DR*LL BREAK'
"What the fuck are you on about?" Nea asked, squinting her eyes.
It seemed I had screamed GIGA DR*LL BREAK out loud, pose and all. Welp. I rubbed the back of my head and stood up straight, ignoring the embarrassment. My eyes them shifted to the rest of the people around. To my surprise, Nea and Vanessa had already gathered up the team, the girl and the cat and all.
