Cowardice 8

Grunt smiled at Sarah and Moggy from afar and gave them a thumbs up signal, telling them that Grunt already 'nailed it'.

"What? That's it?", Sarah just said in surprise of how easy it was. The three got past the 'joker' without any problems and successfuly made it for the third game as 63rd to 66th placers.

"What happened there human... Hey, we still don't know your name", Sarah just remembered.

"I'm kinda tired, good thing that there are 30 more players needed for the third game. I'll rest there", Grunt avoiding the subject.

Just for those who does not know what happened with the 'joker', the question was "which one is important, the 'God' or it's worshipers". The answer is actually not in the choices, that is why Grunt just walked past through the 'joker'.

The answer should be 'both'. Always remember that if 'Gods' do exist, without a 'God' there would be no worshipers and without it's worshipers, no one will believe that he, she or it is a 'God'. Same Philosopy goes with governments and money.

The temple is really big for just a hundred contenders. Even you say a giant or more is among those 100 contenders, there would still be a lot of space for comfort.

Chairs, sofas, beds, tables and foods. Everything is there to be enjoyed. It is obvious that being first in the race would be really advantageous.

A group of six women with the same outfit as Sarah approached Sarah and Grunt. These women are Sarah's associates.

"Good grief we see you here, we were worried sick that you suddenly went away from the group", one of the women said to Sarah.

"I just felt to do the race a little longer", Sarah replied.

"Is that 'just' really it? Or is there something else?", another of the women asked in suspicion while looking to Moggy.

"Huh? What do you mean?", Sarah answers with another question.

"I didn't know you're into giants Sarah"

"La, no. This is Moggy, a 'friend' that I made while doing the race", Sarah said in defense to the claim.

In such situation were a love interest shows interest to you but denies you verbally, I suggest you to just stick with her with the 'proper space' that she wants or should be. Know your place, be patient, don't be afraid and don't be hasty.

If she really loves you, she will get the signals. If 'no' and she gets irritated, you may decide to just give up on her to find another love interest or continue pursuing her. But be sure to know when to stop if you choose to continue on pursuing her.

note: I'm not an expert in romance, I just want to make this story longer.LOL

Moggy, a little frustrated with the word 'friend', just kept quiet for a while and let the girls do their "girl talk".

Good job Moggy! But I suggest you to eat and rest now and think about Sarah later cause you will be needing some of that energy for the third game. She loves you, don't worry! I'll support you bro! We're friends!

Eliza, Rin, Coala, Salley, Thralla and Karen. These are the names of the colleagues of Sarah which are also 'master espers'. All of them are competent despite of their pretty looks(really my type of girls)

Sarah and her colleagues are students from an institution that takes care and teaches 'espers' under the name of the 'God', Sasha.

So obviously, this Sasha just placed this girls as her entries just to promote her institution. That is what you call Capitalism.

Meanwhile, Adolash is still in that same spot where he encountered Grunt and company. Adolash is now getting bored and decided to finish the race.

The problem is, Adolash can't fly. In order to get over the collapsed bridge, he needs a ride or some type of lift to send him on the other side.

There it comes, a talking drake that looks in a hurry. And the best part about the drake is , 'it can fly'.
