Bond of Loyalty

Arthur learned another trait of hobgoblins, and it was their raw emotions. Mero was milder than the overflowing machine of emotions in front of him, which kept crying as it apologized for wasting Arthur's money.

"Seika, what did you do?" Diana asked with confusion, as she didn't know what conversation they had.

"It is... crying because of our meeting," Arthur said, and his companions looked at him with doubt.

"Aha, that makes sense," Ma said as he squinted his eyes at the hobgoblin. "As expected of our Seika..."

"You don't have to act as if you believe me," Arthur muttered, and Ma closed his mouth, choosing to confirm that he indeed believed nothing. "When are you going to stop crying?"

As he directed his words to the goblin, the bond between them worked on translating his words. Finally, the goblin stopped sobbing, but he kept sniffing.

"I am sorry, I am..." he was about to bawl again, but Arthur raised his hand to stop him.
