Alright, this wasn't good. He needed to reset his thoughts.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to refocus—but then Georgio's words came back to him.
Wait.
Georgio had been calling Laxus "that bastard" this entire time…
Why?
Why would he say something so awful?
Laxus was kind.
"Georgio. You shouldn't call Laxus something like that. He's really kind, you know?"
"NOOOO! THIS IS IT! THIS IS THE BRAINWASHING STAGE!!"
Georgio let out a horrified wail.
"Ragar!! Master's already been completely brainwashed by that damn bastard!!"
Crap.
He had definitely said the wrong thing.
This had turned into a huge misunderstanding.
Rocco wasn't brainwashed.
If anything, the one acting strange wasn't him—it was Laxus.
Laxus's behavior was completely off.
It wasn't just that he seemed different—he was acting like a completely different person.
No, something was definitely wrong with him.
If anyone was in trouble, it wasn't Rocco—it was Laxus.
