Chapter 248 - Preparation for Social Week (9) (1/2)

”I didn't mean to frighten you,” someone whispered into my ear.

”Who's there?” I spun around.

”Didn't you think there would be a consequence for picking all those wonderful flowers?” He held a flower bouquet with both of his hands.

”Ask him,” I turned to point at Luke who was missing.

”Who?” He glanced around our surroundings.

”I'm not in another dimension, am I?” I searched for Luke with my eyes.

His otherworldly beauty reminded me of the waiter who transferred me into another dimension with a drink. He possessed their perfect sculpted appearance with long fluttering eyelashes and large tinted golden almond shaped eyes. A doll wouldn't be able to capture the perfect angles from all his features, making him appear unreal. Such a person wouldn't be a human being, similar to those who descended from the Pelargonium family, which was Luke's family on his mother's side.

The sunlight reflected off his shining blond hair, almost white from the shards of light. I squinted my eyes as if the sunlight came from his back. When I looked down to avoid the bright light, my wrist had a tattooed bracelet. I tapped my wrist to find the currency in the other dimension with the portals from my purchase last time.

”I can leave right away you know,” I stepped a few steps backwards.

”But can you leave to get to the time you want?” He pointed out.

I stayed silent since it was true. The last time I escaped from this dimension, there was a difference of a few days. It would be a disaster if I didn't get a single break and was immediately inserted inside the middle of social week.

”What do you want?” I glared at him.

”Please watch over the children currently in my care. It's their first time leaving this dimension,” He placed a flower in my hair.

”You'll know who they are the moment you see them,” His eyes warmed.

”Sure?” I didn't have a choice.

How hard could it be? I was totally going to die, hiding how I was watching someone while taking care of myself. I guessed the 'children' he was talking about was pretty young as well. Why else would he want me to take care of them?

From my answer, the scene shattered as the bright light disappeared. It was like time had unfroze, seeing how Luke was still busy with the cleanup. I looked up into the blue sky, wondering why the fairies, elves or whatnot chose to contact me after all that time. My mind was filled with those thoughts until I found myself in front of a cave.

”Why are we here?” I got out of the hover car.

”To mine some jewels,” Luke led the way.
