4 Charming Creeper (1/2)
At this moment, the man's face was dangerously close to Dye's. Dye could see the man's ruby red eyes more clearly, and the long white lashes that framed those red eyes. The man had a sharp nose and thin lips. His not too thick nor too thin eyebrows fit into his painting-like face. Sadly, it only lasted for a moment.
”You're...weird,” the man said.
Dye really wanted to turn back time and wake the man up more brutally. Maybe a punch on the face would do...or...maybe she could wake him up by boiling him and make him beg? Maybe she watched too many movies in her free time, but this man really did not know how to talk to a lady.
”Excuse me?” veins were about to pop out from Dye's forehead, ”old man, do you know how to talk to a lady?”
This time, it was the man's turn to be annoyed, ”Old man? Don't you think that I don't notice you checking out my face earlier? Even for a split second?” Honestly, he was only an old man in age, but his appearance was somewhat around Dye's age. He didn't want to talk about why he became such a...peculiar existence.
Dye's cheeks reddened, ”Who would want to check out someone as unattractive as you! What are you doing being so close to me anyways?”
The man gritted his teeth. He wanted to take off the hood covering his face right now, but his identity was supposed to be kept a secret. He was a runaway after all. Even if this Elementalist who saved his was rather irritating, he didn't want to implicate her into his problems.
”I'm just checking your soul,” he said defensively, however, Dye was enraged by this statement.
With a bright red face, Dye glared at him, ”Y-you pervert! That's worse than checking out one's face!” She had designed the soul to be...bare...because she had never thought of this occurence. When she designed the game, the soul was supposed to be a private, player only thing. To think that someone would try to see her soul the very first day she entered Hyouka...
”P-pervert!?!” Even though he was old in age, his mentality was still way younger than his age, so he felt insulted when Dye called him a pervert, ”It's not like I can see anything other than a black void!”
Dye froze in place. Her Spirit was already much higher than him and she had this cheat system with her. The system wouldn't dare expose itself rashly, so of course this guy can't see her soul.
She sighed before glaring at the man again, ”Y-you can't see anything, but attempting to see m-my soul without permission...unforgivable! I am sure you're just a perverted old man!”
