Waking up the next day after what happened was beyond awkward for her. But, Lyn knew that avoiding Rhys would do her no good. Surprisingly enough, he has done nothing to tease her for the past three hours since she woke up. Lyn"s gaze flickered towards the man, "unusual," Lyn thought to herself. Why is Rhys acting so odd today? Usually, he would have made a teasing remark or tried something on her. But today he hasn"t. A deep sigh escaped her lips; what is she doing? Isn"t it a good thing he isn"t doing anything?"You don"t mind?" Rhys suddenly said, breaking the silence.
Lyn blinks in confusion at his words. But doesn"t bother questioning her as they continued upwards the mountain path. Since there is something, she has to do.
It happened far too quickly for her to react, despite her fast senses. Although she was prepared for the blood l.u.s.t, she didn"t expect them to be all wiped out before she could do anything. There has always been someone far faster than her. Someone who can control it, sound. Maroon colored hair, someone who always wore such a stupid-looking expression; and yet this is the person where everything began.
"Ah that was refres.h.i.+ng, now let"s see what sort of beauties I saved to... " He must have just charged in without thinking, so very reckless. The brunette immediately wrapped her arms around him from behind.
"Kazuya, I...I missed you," Lyn cried. She just saw him yesterday, and yet.. they parted way too quickly.
"I see, I was reckless. I wasn"t planning on meeting you for a while longer. But," Kazuya turned her around to stroke her cheek with his tender hands, " Now that we"ve met again, I"d like to see you smile though I"ve always loved your tear-stained face. "
It was hardly what she would call a romantic or even powerful meeting. Indeed you could hardly compare it to the other times. But like before, she can feel it; his warmth.
....
Lyn buried her face in Kazuya"s neck as she breathed in her boyfriend"s unique scent. Lyn gently ran her fingers through his maroon-colored locks. She wasn"t exactly sure what she was doing, but she"s glad that Kazuya was allowing her.
She just saw him the other day, but as expected it wasn"t enough for her. Lyn didn"t even have time to tell Kazuya how angry she was at him. Yes, she was angry, even though they decided to be together, he"s always disappearing. Yes, he has his circ.u.mstances. He has his demons and conflicts.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
It was easy for her to notice things about him in contrast to others. The same went for him; they understood each other even without words their relations.h.i.+p was that deep. Whenever they interacted, it felt like they were the only ones in the world.
Lyn buried her nose into the side of Kazuya"s neck a little more. After a few minutes of silence, Kazuya finally says, "Have you calmed down now?"
"Yes," Lyn says softly, torn between holding onto her Kazuya tighter and letting him go. She doesn"t want to risk letting him go only for him to disappear right before her very eyes once more. But she has to sooner or later let him go.
"What are you doing, Rhys?"
"Hmm? Just writing this section in the report to "unexpected meeting under the stars." "
"There are no stars out during the day! " she exclaimed.
Geez, she"s somewhat embarra.s.sed though. Holding onto Kazuya so tightly like that. Lyn loosened her grip, knowing that he won"t be leaving.
"I thought it was strange. I felt your presence in the mountains... I thought you two would take the other path, but you came this way?"
Lyn nodded, "Ah-huh, I got a message from Allen."
"You too?"
Eh? Lyn looked at Kazuya puzzled.
"Yeah. Something of the sort, he told me to deal with the problems in this area. But he probably only said that, so I could get to my own devices."
"Could it be Kazuya you"re here for the Zana crystal?"
"Lyn you also? Of course, " Kazuya reached over and patted her hair, " It was written in my love letter, so I expected it."
The love letter Kazuya was referring to was a letter he snuck in her belongings, before the journey. She ended up taking it along with her and only just read it recently.
"Now that I have seen it, isn"t it embarra.s.sing?"
"Right, but, you liked it, right? Cute things like that."
This person is always thinking about what she likes.
"Does it bother you? That I came here because of Allen?"
"No no, I should have known this would happen. Allen must have it hard now that you"re serious about your dream."
Her cheeks colored slightly, "Kazuya, um you met with Allen?" Kazuya nodded. It must have been awkward; she hopes they didn"t fight with each other.
"Relax, we didn"t fight. We could have, but nothing of the sort happened."
Hmm, but if they didn"t fight, they must have had a proper discussion. After confirming that, they continued walking up the mountain trail. Since it was covered in snow, it was taking a lot more time than it should have to climb up. However, Lyn didn"t mind.
"If you"re conflicted about him being here, why not tell him to go away? " Rhys whispered.
Lyn shook her head, " It"s not like I"m conflicted or anything," She isn"t, at least anymore. She would have been if he and Allen didn"t speak with each other. But knowing that they had a proper talk with each other is more than enough for her to dispell any lingering doubts, "But, it"s hard not to reminisce seeing him like this. "
"That"s true. Even though I knew, it"s still odd. Here he is acting like an idiot. "
Indeed as Rhys said, the fool had just b.u.mped into a tree since he was jumping around. Lyn walked over and pulled out the bandages she carried from her such, "Stay still."
"Ah, as expected of miss clumsy, you still carry bandages with you."
"Be quiet; I don"t want to hear that from you."
"Thank you, Lyn."
Lyn drew her hand back and returned to Rhys side, now shouldn"t be the time to reminisce. But. Lyn faintly recalled those memories, the time where she first knew Kazuya.
"What"s with that nickname?"
"Eh. But it"s adorable; I think it suits you. "
". .If you just wanted to call me cute, you could have just said so."
She is happy to see him, if possible she wants to be able to treasure this moment. However, now that they are in this place, there is something she has to do even if there"s already no hope in connecting the three of them together.
No sooner had they arrived at the top of the mountain path; she saw a log house. "Perfect, it"s still there," Kazuya said with a huge grin.
"Where is this?" Lyn asked.
"Getting the tablet is easy, but the security is tight. I know someone who can provide a secret route without giving us much trouble. " So Kazuya knows someone like that, that"s not surprising she supposes.
"And Lyn, the person heading towards us will make your life miserable."
Her thoughts broke off then, spotting someone heads their way. Despite the old looking cloak, Lyn could tell right away who it was. The black-haired girl attempts to hide behind Rhys, but it was already too late, "P- r- i-n-c-ess! "
"Wah wah, wait I can hear you — no need to shout," Lyn wailed. The person lecturing her now is her aide Pupillam. She should have realized that Pupillam would still be around.
"You really are far too reckless..."
