Chapter 484 - Chapter 476 - My Cat Wrote This.

Merchant guild hostel, just as always, Chris is sharing a room with Ben.
Unable to sleep, Chris and Ben are playing Uno out of boredom.
"Draw four."
"Skip... And skip again."
"Seriously Ben, why are you having so many skips with you?"
"I am the one that should be asking you, why the hell are you getting draw four all the time? Are you cheating?"
"Well, who am I needing to cheat in Uno game?"
"Hmph."
With the above conversation, they continue with their game until they suddenly hear a screaming of a girl from another room.
"Ahhhh!!!"
"Hmm... That sounds like Ruby, I wondered if she is having panic attack again?" said Chris.
"Who knows... Want to check on her a bit?" said Ben.
Without saying anything, Chris sighed and put down his cards.

--------------------------------------------------------------

At the same time, in the other room, where Ruby is supposed to be alone in.
A man seems to pressing Ruby down on her bed while covered her mouth with his hand.
"Keep it down my little beauty... I swear I will be as gentle as possible if you don't resist me... If you want to blame someone, blame those guys who beat me up earlier... While everyone else got their paid, I need mine as well, don't you think so?..." The man whispered as he aggressively trying to rip open Ruby's shirt single-handedly.
"Mmmmmm.. Mmmmm...."
Ruby whose mouth got covered can only make some muffled noises while trying to struggle out from her assaulter's hand.
"Tsk... Stop moving... You little... Argh..."
Just as that man trying to act rude to Ruby, he was immobilised on the spot all of a sudden and unable to move for a single bit, then, he felt a constriction around his body as if some unseen force is trying to squeeze him into pulp.
"Seriously, I guess Terrence was indeed going easy on you just now, should have told him to beat you up harder that you would not be able to walk for days." said Chris as he glared at that man.
Ruby who took that as a chance escaped from that man and ran to Chris where the latter guarded her behind of him.
"So, should I just turn him into pulp or are you having any other plans?" Ben asked.
"Well, I would prefer you not to, after all, he is member of this merchant guild after all, let's get him to the guild leader." said Chris.
"Alright then." said Ben as he shrugged...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later.
"I can't believe he actually left a handprint on your face, just how hard he pressed his hand on your mouth I wondered..." said Chris as he briefly applied some ointment on the red finger marks the man left on Ruby's face.
"But seriously, you really should just bite on his hand just now instead of trying to struggle out from his grip." He added.
Hearing that, Ruby clumsily shook her head and seems to trying to say something.
"Seriously, you really should start learning how to talk by now, you were really a chatter box in the past... Alright, I have done putting ointment on those finger marks, you may return to your room now." said Chris.
Again, Ruby shook head, this time, more intensed than before.
"Ah... You don't want to return to your room?" Chris asked.
"I guess instead of just don't want to, she is scared of returning to her room alone." said Ben as he is cleaning his glasses.
"Hah... Tsk... Alright. You can stay here for the night. It's not like Ben and I are going to sleep anyway." said Chris as he sighed.

After a short while, Ruby finally fallen asleep on Chris's bed while Chris is playing another Uno card game with Ben.
"Ben, let's just be honest, from how you react to that molester just now, you are actually very concerned about Grace's matter, right?" Chris asked.
Ben remained silence.
"Well, if you are worried, let's head back to Null Dimension for a short while and check up on her." said Chris as he draw a card from the deck.
"No. That can wait. The matter here is more important." said Ben.
"Alright then." said Chris before slowly put down a skip card...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Null Dimension.
Sky who is quite sick and unconscious is having another weird dream.
This time, he once again dreamed of that princess from chapter two...

Just like the last time, he is playing some sort of chasing game with the princess, but this time, the ending of the dream is slightly different. Instead of dying in Sky's hand, the princess pressed Sky onto the grassy ground and stared at him with her big, watery, purplish eyes.
"Hmm... These eyes... Looks familiar...Where did I see them before..." He thought as he noticed her unique pair of eyes that looks a bit out of place...

Then, without any warning, Sky woke up from his eyes. Just as he opened his eyes, he is surprised to see a pair of big, watery, purplish eyes. It's Ai, from some unknown reason, she is at his side, looking directly into his eyes from a rather close distance, with a slightly intimate posture and angle...

*Something out of the story

Sky: "Dear readers."

Chris: "Hmm?"

Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."

Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."

Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."

Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."

Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows  two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might cause the writer to stop writing."
