See, You Are In A Different World

“It Troy, wake up!” Heather whispered, the roman slowly opened his eyes to see that they were in a gas station, taking a stop. He looked around and saw Ayame was sleeping on his shoulder and some of the other passengers were at the store in the gas station. He also saw Amis and Hässlicher were asleep and by the looks of things, Heather seems to be awake for the entire time.

“What is it?” He yawned as he asked the angel.

“I think you should take a piss for a while. I'll tell the others as well.” She said to him.

“Okay…” Troy said as he slowly stood up, he placed Ayame on the shoulder bed and moved away. 

He then got out of the bus and went directly to the comfort room while Amis slowly wake up and saw the bus was half full, he was wondering what happened but he turned around and saw Ayame and Hässlicher was still asleep.

“Are we there now?” Amis yawned as he asks the angel.

“No, we have to travel for a very long time. We are very near to Georgia right now but for now, the journey is far ahead.” Heather stated, they had a stopped but they were still a kilometer away from Atlanta, the state capital of Georgia. 

“Do you want to get some food?” Heather asked, Amis then nodded. She then placed down her phone under her small bag and decided to wake up Ayame.

“Hey, Ayame wake up.” She said as she started wiggling Ayame's arm, the succubus slowly wake up and yawned as it stretches her arms. 

“What?” she asked as she yawned.

“I need you to protect our stuff while we are going to buy some food.” The Angel said to her, she then looked around and notice that Troy wasn't there.

“Where's Troy?” Ayame asked.

“He’s in the comfort room.” Heather said to her for assurance.

“Okay.” The succubus said, Heather then turned around and left the bus alongside Amis as they went into the small convenience store. 

“What do you want?” Heather asked Amis like a father wanting to know what to buy for his son. The knight looked around and began picking some of the food.

“what are these?” Amis asked as he looked at the rotisserie filled with fresh and new hotdogs. 

“Those are Hotdogs, you wanna try it?” Heather asked as she pointed them to the small fast food.

“Sure!” Amis said.

Meanwhile, Troy was finally done with the comfort room and walked back to the bus. As he continued walking, he felt like being watched by someone. He then turns around to sure if someone was looking at him but there was none, he decided to continue but he still felt the presence of being watched. He looked back and forth to sure he was safe but now he realizes, someone is truly watching him. 

“Waiting for someone?” Heather asked in front of Troy in a surprise.

“HEATHER! You nearly gave me a heart attack!” Troy panted after that small jumpstart from Heather.

“What? You were expecting to be gazed at by any deities?” Heather mocked him, while he saw Amis was eating a hotdog, two to be exact. 

“No…” Troy declined. Heather sighed and told Amis to go back to the bus and they are going to talk for a while.

“What is it?” Troy asked as they entered the convenience store. 

“Just pick up some food so we can leave.” Heather stated, he nodded and decided to buy some chips and others were drinks for refreshments. 

“Say, how many stops are we going to take before reaching Atlanta?” Troy asked as he carries the foods back to the bus with Heather.

“I think 5 left.” She said as she took out his phone and saw there is still 5 stops left. 

“Man, after all of this, I think it’s safe to retire.” Troy sighed, this caught Heather's attention, the angel was stunned by this and inside Troy's mind, there was no explanation on why.

“But why? I thought we are in this together?” Heather asked Troy, he continued walking but suddenly stopped and looked at her.

“I know the adventure is good and all but I just wanted to have a quiet and peaceful life after this.” Troy stated, this made the angel felt an emotion that she couldn't understand, it wasn't any sentimental emotion, it felt like human emotion. 

“I thought we are clear that we would cleanse the world.” Heather told him once more as he recalled the first time meeting her.

“I know but I already have a girlfriend, you know I couldn't handle too many responsibilities, right?” Troy sighed, the dead cold silent between them drifted off as the angel turned down and nodded.

“Fine… let's go.” Heather said as they went back to the bus and sat on their seat. Amis was still eating while Ayame was concerned about what happened while Hässlicher was still asleep. 

The bus took off from the stop and left, the ride continued, Troy decided to continue his sleep while Amis then followed. Ayame looked at Heather, who was silent for quite a while, and this gave the succubus a huge concerned since she never saw her that too quiet

“you alright?” Ayame asked Heather, the angel sniffed of and look back at the succubus.

“yes, I'm alright.” Heather sniffed as she tried to ignore the human emotion, she felt scared for the first time, an emotion that she never felt. She was getting afraid that Troy may be gone after all of this, and probably she alone would continue the journey. 

“Hey, Listen I'm here for you alright?” Ayame assured the worried Angel, she looked at her and smile as she removed her tears from her eyes.

“Thanks, Ayame.” Heather smiled after cleaning off of her tears, the succubus smiled as well and decided to take some rest. Heather would take the rest while Ayame is awake. 

After a while, they were already at the next stop, Hässlicher wakes up and takes the comfort room. Ayame looked up at her phone and saw there are 5 hours left before they would arrive at the Atlanta bus station.

“5 hours and 2 days left… neat.” Ayame sighed after looking at her phone, she knows the journey ahead was dangerous and as time passed by, something was about to chase them down.
