Then I got a reply from Bella.
[Are you okay, Honey? What on earth are you talking about? This battle is a piece of cake, why should it be more important than you? Hang on.]
Then I felt a surge of souls beside me. A {Portal} opened and out stepped arguably the most important member of this battle.
"Hello, Mr. Code. Did you miss me?"
"I did. It's incredibly good to see you," I replied immediately.
"W-ha..." Probably not expecting my answer, Bella quickly covered her mouth. Her cheeks were flushed and her body trembled.
I was amused by her reaction and let go of my two weapons. They disappeared in the same moment as I reached for Bella and took her lips. After we parted, I smiled as she looked even more surprised.
"I'm so lucky to have you, Honey. Here we are fighting thousands and you made it so relaxing."
