After that, they kept talking til night. Next Morning ~
I went to regent's office.
Usman ' I think, it's about time.'
Luminous ' Correct. You can both gain exp and stop the viscountess.'
I knocked on the door.
Ufia " Come in."
When I went in, Firuza and Xiona were there as I saw in the map.
Firuza " You are here for certificate, right?" She said knowingly.
Usman" Yes, we should depart tomorrow morning."
Ufia" Haaahhh! Ok, I know you are on a mission but you should take rest for once. You are a teen-ager." She said with her hand on her hip.
Usman" I already have and there's a time for everything. Now, we should be concerned with Viscountess." I said moving forward.
Xiona" He's right. We should focus on this."
Usman' She is actually in love with me?'
Ufia " Alright! Give me 3 cp! I will make it for you." She said going towards her papers.
Usman" I will prefer the Merlin plate." I said putting 5 cp on her table.
Firuza" You think, you are leveled up?" She asked blinking?
Ufia" Listen kid! I appreciate your money but I think you are going too fast..."
Xiona" Ufia! Do it, please!" She said looking at me.
Ufia" Haaahhh! Okay!" She said standing up from her chair.
Usman ' Love is really something.'
Luminous ' IT makes one believe your other half more. You should consider her. '
Usman ' I will think about that after my last test. There is one, right?'
Luminous ' Yes but it going to take a long time.'
Ufia " Alright! Do your thing." She said after setting Merlin plate.
I moved to it and put my hands on it. It shone like usual.
Status!
Ufia " You got to BE KIDDING ME?!!" She said shocked.
Firuza"...Cr 3...."
Xiona" H...he did... leveled up..."
Ufia" But how?!"
Firuza" It might be due to evil God's servants."
Xiona" Yeah, that's must be it."
Ufia" But kid, you ARE something." She said looking at me.
Then, she made my certificate and gave to me.
Xiona " C...can I talk to you?... In private..." She said with a blush.
Usman ' Is she?'
Luminous ' Seems like it.'
Usman " Okay, lead."
Xiona " R... really?! Then, come." She said happily.
I went after her. We walked towards a green house? When we were inside. There were crops there.
Usman ' So, it is a green house.'
Luminous ' But of primitive kind.'
Xiona " My mother used to work here." She said looking at the place.
Xiona" I always feel calm when I am here." She said turning towards me.
Xiona" Today, I am here because I need courage. I never thought I would have these feelings." She said looking at me.
Xiona" I don't know if you feel strange... I think.... a guy like you must be used to it..." She said stuttering.
Xiona" Usman.... I... I am in... love with... you.."
Usman' She confessed?!'
Luminous ' Considering her emotional stats, you should be careful.'
Xiona: Anxious, Love, afraid, lonely.
Usman ' Isn't this what most MCs face?'
Luminous ' But their answers either make them misandry or lose confidence in them.'
Usman ' Sometimes, they joined the evil side too?'
Luminous ' It does happen a lot here.'
Usman ' Hmm, then.' I thought looking at her.
Xiona ' W...why is...he quiet?!... Is..it.. because... I am... weak...?' she thought losing light in her eyes.
Usman " Actually... it's first time... someone said that to me." I said looking at her.
Xiona" A...are you... really...?!!" She said with wide eyes.
Usman" Yes.... I am...an orphan... I don't have good relatives.... what I am...is all due to....fate... I am not... someone admired by people.... especially females.... so... I wasn't expecting... this...."
Xiona ' WHAT?!...h...how could.... no one admired him?!....they must BE BLIND! HOW YOU CAN'T ADMIRE AND LOVE A PERSON LIKE HIM?!' She thought looking downward.
Usman " I had realised your feelings before...it was not intentional but...I sometimes feel these.... emotions.... but they were mostly....pity, disgust and.... Haaahhh!"
Xiona ' WHO?!! WHO WERE THOSE PEO...NO!!! WORMS!!! YES!!! HOW DARE THEY!!! I WILL KILL THEM MYSELF!!!' She thought with dead eyes looking down.
Usman " I am sorry... I should not said those things... what I wanted to say that I am a mercenary. Who is hired to kill that Viscountess! And I have some other unfinished business too. So, I cannot give you a false hope like I will come later. I am neither going to do any one of time shit moment with you nor I will say no because I am weak. I will become stronger and I will do my best to beat any enemy who come in my way."
Xiona ' He...he is not going to take benefit from me?!.. neither he's making excuses!!... HE'S PERFECT!!!' She thought with hollow eyes.
Usman " But I can't take you with me. Because I need you as noble of Pure Jack here in our battle against the Viscountess! And I will prefer you level up in the normal way. Because I will prefer the Xiona who level up like everyone around her not the one who level up by siding with shady people working for evil. Then, my answer is yes." I said looking at her.
Xiona ' HE WANTS ME TO BOTH GROW AS A NOBLE AND A MAGIC WARRIOR!!! HE ALSO WANTS ME TO STAY PURE!!! HE REALLY CARES FOR ME!!!' She thought with a creepy smile on her face.
Xiona " I PROMISE! I WILL BECOME A GREAT NOBLE AND I WILL BECOME STRONG ON MY OWN!!!" She said looking at me with gleaming eyes and a lovely smile.
Usman " Then until I am back, My Lady!" I said kneeling and kissing her hand.
Xiona ' HE KISSED MY HAND!' She thought with a smile.
Usman " I am going now, take care." I said standing up.
Xiona" I will wait for you." She said blushing.
I went out.
Usman ' How was that?'
Luminous ' It was the best outcome for this world.'
Usman ' What could happen otherwise?'
Luminous ' She could become a misandry or join the evil God's plan to give you a surprise.'
Usman ' I don't want that. Plus, she is beautiful for a pancake.:
Luminous ' She isn't.'
Usman ' Huh?!'
Luminous ' Check your map.'
I checked
Usman ' She's A-cup? Wait?! I can get this info now!...wow!'
Luminous ' She's your lover now.'
Xiona: Unraveling Love
Usman ' That's good.'
