When Keith looked at the pink-haired girl, the pink-haired girl gazed back at him. Their jade-green eyes met and unknowingly, they felt that they were suited for each other. It was as if they had met their soul mate.
'Impossible! How can this young master's cold heart be thawed after seeing a girl's appearance!'
Because of his astonishment, Keith unconsciously referred to himself as a young master.
He didn't know why but after seeing the pink-haired girl, he felt as if he saw his soul mate. He was oblivious as to why he felt that.
His heart softened when he saw Sherry Blossom. As if the emotion of love blossomed within his heart.
'Is this the legendary love at first sight?'
'But I'd rather believe I was mind-controlled but even I know that it's impossible considering my Eyes of Heaven can see through any illusions and deception.'
When Keith thought of that, he immediately remembered to use the Eyes of Heaven on Sherry Blossom.
'I don't believe that there will be another unique existence like Amelia that couldn't be seen through by my Eyes of Heaven!'
With that thought in mind, Keith's eyes glistened as it was activated in full power.
He was unwilling to believe that he had fallen in love with someone since for him, an emotion such as love was already considered a foreign substance.
Since he activated his Eyes of Heaven at full power, he could now perceive anything. And that included the so-called strings of fate.
Various strings with different hues came into this vision. Each of those strings was tied to the person within the room and after a few seconds, he saw a red-colored string that came from the pink-haired girl.
Lifting his hand, he saw that there was a red-colored string tied to his pinky finger. The other side of the red-colored string was tied to Sherry Blossom's pinky finger.
'Impossible! Are this fate and destiny saying that Sherry Blossom is my destined one?'
Keith couldn't accept that fate and destiny engaged him with Sherry Blossom.
As for why he couldn't accept it, it was because…
'Isn't she the pink-haired girl who stole my End Note? Is she really connected to me by the red strings of fate?'
It was not that he hadn't known that Sherry Blossom was the pink-haired girl who stole his End Note. It was because he had known about that which made him curse that it was impossible for her to be his destined one.
After all, out of spite, he had used his connections to delay Sherry's transfer to Mint High. Since she had stolen his End Note, Keith retaliated against her out of pettiness.
In fact, Sherry would have already transferred to Mint High even before Amelia's arrival. She had already sent her form of transfer to Mint High but Keith used his connections to delay it as much as possible.
In other words, because of Keith's intervention, Sherry couldn't get the End Note in Mint High and was beaten by Amelia in that regard.
Keith didn't know what to feel after seeing his destined one in front of him. But he decided to procrastinate and let the future him deal with it.
While still using the Eyes of Heaven, Keith noticed that aside from the red-colored strings of fate, he found out that Sherry had limitless potential.
In other words, Sherry was destined for greatness and that fact alone made Keith inclined to recruit Sherry into his secret organization.
After all, the Dimension Gate would descend in a week and he would need to have countless powerful subordinates if he wanted to deal with the humans and other races in the other world.
He alone was not enough especially when his system user was still undergoing his training arc. It was not like he could wait for three years to become a god using Derick's hard work.
While Keith was looking at Sherry, Sherry noticed his gaze which caused her to gaze back at him.
While Keith was having thoughts about Sherry, she also was having thoughts about Keith.
'Ah~ Keith~ It's been one timeline since I had seen you! You are still as handsome as I have remembered.'
Seeing Keith, Sherry was delighted.
'Keith must be weak and powerless right now since I had stolen his End Note. But don't worry as I will protect you and keep you all to myself!'
'Sadly, I can't kidnap you now since your background is the greatest in this world. All I have is the End Note but you all have what a mortal could have in his life.'
Although Sherry was lovesick and wanted to kidnap Keith and make love with him whenever she wanted, she wasn't delusional enough to believe that she could defeat Keith in a one-on-one battle.
Since she knew Keith like the back of her hand, she of course knew that Keith's fighting prowess could easily defeat her. Unless she used sleeping gas or anesthetic darts, she couldn't kidnap Keith.
But even she knew that there were at least five snipers on standby that were guarding Keith every day. So as long as she suspiciously approached Keith, they would shoot her without prior notice.
'Even after obtaining the End Note, it is still difficult for me to own you.'
'As expected! You are the only man who is worthy to become my husband! Other men are just worthless walking pieces of trash.'
While Sherry's thoughts ran wild again, she noticed that the seat that was adjacent to Keith's seat was vacant.
Walking towards it, Sherry sat beside Keith.
Noticing such an opportunity, Keith decided to become friends with Sherry since he knew that her future was boundless and she could become a powerful and reliable ally for him in the future.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance, I am Keith McDowell. Are you interested in partaking in a friendly relationship with I?"
"In layman's terms, do you want to become my friend?"
