Chapter 42 (1/2)
Nibbling on her grilled meat, Hinagiku watched Mikoto and Wu Yan with much bewilderment.
After she woke up, the mood between the two changed in terms of quality.
He didn’t change much, he would still grill meat when called on and his speech pattern is as usual unpredictable, it’s Mikoto’s behaviour that’s odd.
Every time he threw a glance at her, she would look away within 2 seconds completely avoiding eye cocntact. When he turn away she would secretly take a peek at him before turning her head away within 2 seconds and then shaking it like she’s trying to deny something.
This farce repeated itself over and over.
This abnormal appearance is like a kitten scratching her heart (tl: upset, jelly<), she’s=”” really=”” itching=”” to=”” ask=”” what=”” in=”” the=”” world=””>
After they’re finished with their meal he touched the fire circle and the fire disappeared, storing it away he turned to the two.
“Alright, let’s move out, there shouldn’t be that many monsters anymore, not with the amount we laid to rest yesterday…”
Thinking back about the horde that could make a mountain from their number the two merely nodded in stern motion.
Observing their appearance, he may look normal on the outside but he’s quite joyous inside.
It seems the two managed to adapt to this situation otherwise it would become a hard fight later on.
“There’s only one path here!”
Pointing at the wide pa.s.sage.
“Therefore we can only move forward!”
“Let’s go fidn that jewel of heavenly palace or something and leave this G.o.d forsaken place!”
With an ecstatic tone not jus tbecause she wants to find the search target and get the h.e.l.l out of here but more importantly because there’s most likely monsters ahead, and if there’s monster, there’s experience points!
After Wu Yan’s explanation and persuasion it may seem like she doesn’t care about the sisters anymore but actually the matter has already been engraved on her heart.
He already said it, the time in her world is frozen still, the sisters won’t be harmed any further, this in turn made her a bit panicky.
She only wants to attain more strength, the strength to one up accelerator, and with it save the sisters!
It’s inevitable that she’s in a frenzy, but he’s satisfied with this, at least compared to the helpless and despairing her in the original work, this kind of face is more appeasing.
Part of the reason is because of the time stop but another reason is because unlike in the original story, this one has hope!
In the original work Mikoto wants to save the sisters but completely powerless to do so, she maybe no.3 but Accelerator is no.1, it may not seem that big a difference but the difference is like heaven and earth between them!
In the original she was saving one of the sister and had a bout with Accelerator but under his op esp, she got owned.
Add that to the fact that there’re behind the scene pulling the strings…
Due to this, she had to resort to ‘suicidal’ method to save the sisters!
But right now the story’s different, rather than the insurmountable Accelerator, she is his summon now and with enough battles and strengthening there’s a way to surpa.s.s Accelerator!
The circ.u.mstances surrounding sisters were told to her by Wu Yan during the entire night after she shoved him away in embarra.s.sment. The matters mentioned include the function of sisters, ‘s plan and the BoD’s support and the likes.
She can’t help feeling dejected, this implies that she would have to go against the entire Academy City, her home, one does not need to elaborate on how this is very depressing.
Of course, she has already steeled her resolve and made the necessary preparations, even in the original she did so what’s to say of now.
What she understands now is that as long as she beats Accelerator then in the short run her sisters will be okay, regarding Aleister however she’s sure he wouldn’t let her mess up his plan.
On what to do post Accelerator’s defeat, Wu Yan only said ‘system must be able to pose a solution’ so she’s a.s.sured with that.
Compared to original story, she don’t have to go el lobo solo on this endeavour, there’s someone who has merged her life with him watching her 6 o’clock, someone who is really trustworthy willing to lend a hand or two, undoubtedly she’s feeling a ton of happiness!
All that said however she must still get stronger…
Under her incessant urging the trio resumed their journey to find the jewel of heavenly palace.
Same as the environment they’ve seen coming here, everywhere being rocks and stones devoid of even slightest hint of water, the trio walked on this pa.s.sage that desensitized one’s vision while not reducing their vigilance.
Completely different in terms of att.i.tudes, Hinagiku and Mikoto is now more serious and hardened than the them who’s came in with a playful att.i.tude, funny how one bout with the youkai army changed them so.
Certainly, they’re a bit uncomfortable to this change…
He’s speechless at the way the two is walking so carefully, what with knitting their legs close together.
You girls weared safety pants year in year out and not without them your stride changed like so, how to put this?…
Mikoto and Hinagiku’s feeling pretty edgy right now, the two went around with those pants because they don’t want to watch their steps and constantly guard their skirts, with their att.i.tude being all masculine and athletic this kind of movement pattern is very tiring.
Basically, with their familiar safety pants suddenly gone, it really is… awkward to no ends!
What’s more they have to beware the wolf behind them…
The two understands very well once the expose their G.o.d’s gift to all men, the shameless wolf behind them will definitely enjoy himself without the slightest reserve!
This is pointless when a battle happens, their skirts flipping is definitely going to happen but what can they do beside suck it up with frustration.
If he could read their minds he would have chuckled at their silly thoughts before continuing like so.
“What are two panties worth? When I have seen every nook and cranny?”
