Ugh, I went on and did it again. I killed again, and I killed more than last time. Saying that it was just my instincts would just be a lie since part of this situation was me being pissed as well. I've always had blood on my hands even since I began to use my powers, but that isn't an excuse for killing.
"Haah… It's done already, so there's no use in whining about it."
I held my side in pain as the adrenaline started to settle down. I can create weapons with ease, but if I made defensive equipment, like that barrier earlier, then my body takes some damage. That's understandable. I was made to just make weapons after all.
My regenerative ability kicked in as plants beside me started to die out. This was a real downside for people like me. Once wounded, we begin to emit a lot of Celest, basically turning us in nuclear bombs. Luckily, it depends on the wound's size.
With the damage being internal, the amount of Celest was lessened a bit. Still, my organs are damaged. If Mela or even Ame knew about this, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't let me fight again. Not that I would listen to them, but just thinking of them nagging me out is making me sweat a bit.
"That should be enough… I think."
After feeling the pain on my side starting to disappear, I stretched a bit so that I could begin running again. The only difference this time is I'll go at my fastest speed.
I crouched down a bit as if I were just about to run in a marathon and with a deep breath, I dashed forward. I thought that it would take me quite a bit, but…
"...What the hell…?"
I was already in front of the apartment. Everything happened so fast that I don't even remember how I got here. It was as if my speed was multiplied by ten. And I was already fast to begin with so that's something else… but how? Is my power increasing?
"I think I know the reason for it… but I'd rather not fall to that conclusion yet."
With a sigh, I just decided to jump to my destination. If my power is growing, I might as well use it. It's going to be problematic at some point though. Like really problematic.
Once I arrived at my front door, I could faintly hear someone walking back and forth from the other side of the door. When I slowly opened it, a golden blur came running at me and tackled me. If I were caught by surprise by that, which I wasn't, I would have lost my footing and fall.
"Whoa there, I told you I'll be right back, didn't I?"
"...*Hic*."
"..."
'I guess now isn't the time for jokes.'
Gently wrapping my arms around her, I embraced Ame. She was shaking profusely. Now I really regret doing that small stunt earlier without even checking up on her. What kind of fiancé am I?
"Shh, shh. Everything's okay. I'm okay."
She didn't answer.
I continued on hugging her, this time just letting her cry and not saying anything. Now wasn't the time for any of my quips.
A few minutes had passed and Ame just about finished crying. I'm really glad that I'm used to situations like this thanks to Melania… Hearing both of them cry still hurts my heart though.
"Let me make dinner, okay?"
She still didn't answer, but she did nod. With a smile, I held her hand and guided her to the dining table. I told her to wait for a bit as I began cooking our dinner. There was just pure silence as both of us decided to not speak at the moment.
I just made her worried sick for me and I just killed some people. You could say that both of us weren't in the right state of mind at the moment. Still, I should think of a way to lessen the weird atmosphere that we have right now.
And that's what I'll do.
After I finished making our dinner, I sat beside her instead of in front. That's step one down, now for the next steps.
Seeing her hand on the table, I decided to slowly reach out. Once my hand was near her's, I noticed her move her hand so that her palm faced mine. Taking this as a sign to continue, I held her hand firmly in mine.
"Hey, I told you that I'm already okay, right?"
"I know that, but I still can't help it."
"It's fine, I understand."
And I meant those words sincerely too. Whenever Mela left me back then, I felt my heart get crushed in a vice grip that even breathing was a chore. So, I can understand what Ame's feeling right now and I promise that I'll make sure to alleviate it.
We just stayed in that position for a few minutes before we decided to finally eat. Didn't want the food to get cold after all.
When we finished eating, I told Ame to take a bath first since I'll be preparing my room. It was only at this moment did I realize what really was happening.
"Oh god, my fiancée is going to sleep with me… and I highly doubt that it'll only be the other one."
I sat on my bed and sighed. I really didn't imagine that this'll be happening to me this early into my school life. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that I was able to get someone as precious as Ame in my life this early, but I'm still quite surprised that things went this quick.
In some of the material that Mela gave me, which are just novels that she's read over and over again, the romance there takes months or even years. Mine didn't even take a month. That's just how fast it is.
But I should have expected that in the first place. The real world is a weird place where whatever happens here might look more unrealistic than what happens in novels.
While I was deep in thought, I faintly heard the door open. I looked to my side and suffice to say, my jaw dropped. Why? Well, that was because of what Ame was wearing. Or rather, what she WASN'T wearing. She was completely nude, only having a towel wrapped around her body. And that towel didn't even do much since it was basically clinging to her form, making her appear even sexier.
Yep, I won't be able to sleep early tonight.
