Chereads / Reincarnated Golden Emperor / Chapter 40 - Reward

Chapter 40 - Reward

She felt that Chloe was a little pitiful, she also realized that since she was his childhood friend and loved him so much, she would definitely make him happy. For that reason, she spoke, "Axel, I will be fine with whatever decision you make but I think she is very pitiful already, loving someone for 12 years and then realizing that he lost his memory."

"I cannot even imagine what it would be like if you suddenly forget about me. I think we should let her stay with us. I want to know how Axel was like before he lost his memory." Chloe finished speaking while holding him.

Saito nodded his head and speaks out, "Alright Lyra, since you say so. I am happy that you understand this since I also feel that she is very pitiful."

Saito's expression turned serious as he thought 'It may even work to my advantage. But since she loves me so much, I can ask her to look up information about that Fox. If I go and ask for the information, there is a high chance that the others will try to create trouble for me but if Chloe goes to request for this information then they shouldn't restrict her at all.'

He further thought 'If I ask her to come along with me and Lyra on the mission. She shouldn't decline that if her feelings are so strong.'

Saito knew in his own heart that he was using the love Chloe held for him. However, there was also no other way for him to move forward in the city without making any big moves.

Besides, he wasn't trying to manipulate her or endanger her by what he was going to ask her to do. He simply wanted the information regarding that Fox Woman, Naomi.

Which was why he didn't feel too guilty about using Chloe like this. He rubbed the back of Lyra's head and they fell down on the bed.

The next day, Chloe didn't go to the Union. She spent the morning lazily in her bed. Saito got up after spending some time with Lyra in the morning.

He went out of the room to get something to eat and coincidently came across Chloe who had just woken up. Her hair was not arranged, her clothes were messy and her eyes looked like she was still sleepy.

Though when she saw Saito, she quickly smiles at him and asks, "Did you want something, Axel?"

Saito hesitated to speak about it, he finally speaks in a neutral voice, "Chloe, I wanted to ask for your help regarding something."

Chloe's eyes snapped open, she excitedly asked him, "What is it!?" She starts off with her own thoughts 'Does he want me to do something for him? But no… That will be too suggestive but if he wants me to then I guess I can.'

"I can help you, just let me prepare my heart for this." Chloe starts giggling like a naughty girl with a look of bliss on her face. Saito remained standing there, a bit speechless over her excitement.

He gestured to her to calm down and says in a neutral tone, "Calm down. It's nothing major, I just wanted to find some information related to a Seven Tailed Fox, it can also take on the woman with Dark Red Hair."

Chloe was a bit disappointed with his request, she surely thought it was something to do with her body. However, she didn't let herself be depressed over this matter for too long and said with a smirk, "I can do that but what will be my reward?"

Saito raised an eyebrow and asks her, "You aren't going to ask me why I need this information?"

Chloe shook her head and says, "If you want you would tell me. I don't really care about what you plan to do with this information, I want to know about my reward."

She was shaking her body excitedly. Saito was helpless against her and said, "I haven't decided for a reward. What do you want?"

Chloe quickly suggested, "I want a kiss!" Her whole face was red as she stated her request.

Saito rejected her suggestion instantly, "I refuse. Ask for something else." Chloe didn't find herself too disappointed and said, "You mean you don't want to kiss but want to do something more… Aww Axel… I think I am not ready but if you want me to, I will do anything."

She winked at the end of her statement and Saito found himself completely speechless while he stood there. He raised his hand and directly killed her hopes, "No! We aren't doing anything like what you are thinking."

He paused for a second and said, "I can… I can…" He started thinking of what he should give away as a reward but checking out her current condition, if he gave her one of the jewels he got from the cave, she would think of it as a romantic gesture.

Chloe finally calmed down and gave a final suggestion, "You will have to come on a date with me, just the two of us alone. If you won't agree to this then I won't ask for the information about that fox. Good luck finding of it on your own."

She hmphed at the end of her statement and stared at Saito. Saito thought about this suggestion and found it good enough, "Alright, I can agree to that but you can forget about a kiss."

Chloe brightly smiled as she rushed towards her bed, "YES!" She shouted out in excitement. She quickly went into the washroom to take a shower and get ready to go to the Union.

She wanted to find out the information about the Red Colored Fox as soon as possible so she could get the reward from Saito.

It didn't take her more than 20 minutes to get ready. Just when she was about to leave, Saito called out to her, "Chloe… Make sure to not tell anyone that I want to find out information about the fox. They wouldn't tell you the truth and would try to restrict you then."

Chloe winked at him and says, "Don't worry, I know what to do. Just get ready for our date."

Saito stood there, worried about what he had just agreed to. Lyra gave him a light glare, "… You are going on a date with her?"

Saito quickly tries to explain, "No… I mean yes but I don't want to. It's just that I asked for her help in finding out information about that Red Fox which has a grudge against the elves. I want to find out about her whereabouts to monitor her and kill her quickly. It's unknown when she will attack the Elf kingdom again."

"Chloe said that as a reward for her help, she wants me to go on a date with her. I, of course, wouldn't kiss or do anything to her." Lyra gave him a smile as she saw Saito desperately explaining to her.

She came closer to him and touched his face, "I already told you yesterday that I don't mind it. Don't worry. I know you love me."

"Mhm~" Saito spoke out in the agreement. They shared a romantic kiss together as Saito places his hands around her waist while Lyra's arms go around his body to hold him tightly.

It was fortunate that Chloe had left the house or else she would have been very jealous to see this romantic scene.

After sharing a romantic moment together, they got ready one by one. First, it was Lyra who went to have a shower and then it was Saito's turn.

Saito goes out of the house together with Lyra, he was planning on teaching her how to fly using the 'Flight' magic.
