CHAPTER 471: AN EMBRACE OF REUNION (2/2)

The two stared silently at each other. Right this very second, the expressions on their faces couldn’t be any more different than the other. Reyage’s face was as black as it could get while Siri was practically beaming with joy.

Faced with an unpredictable lady like her, even our cool as a cucumber Reyage couldn’t help but vent his frustrations. “I said so many times already, stop harassing me.”

“But you’re the one who came back of your own accord. I’m not the one who forced you to come back.”

“You… Fine, I’ll go.”

“Alright, off you go then.” Said Siri with a devilish smile as she waved at him. Yet Reyage never left in the end, and that only emboldened her. “Heheh. Well, why are you still here?”

“…” Reyage turned his handsome face to the side and had to grip down hard on his knuckles in order to stop himself from leaving right this instant.

Hmm… who is this Siri woman? She has some serious skills, being able to infuriate our little cool guy like that… there must be something going on between the two of them.

Based on what I’ve seen so far, he just can’t deal with this lady. Maybe I should call for help?

It was at that point that a cold voice rang out from behind Siri. “Reyage… Jezsere…”

That voice… it’s Regine!

“Vice-leader…” Siri quickly greeted the newcomer, head bowed down and not a word more. Unlike the flippant behavior she displayed with Reyage, she was more like a mouse that was cowering before a cat.

However, Regine did not even glance in her direction as she walked up to the lady, dressed in black tights, and quietly gazed at the brother and sister pair.

Regine then swept her eyes over my “bodyguard” Zurnalin and the “black horse” Mo Ning whom I had ordered to keep quiet before entering. Finally, her eyes came to rest on me. At that moment, I could see them quiver slightly, as if they had noticed something but weren’t too sure about it.

After a good long while, she finally broke the silence, albeit in a slightly shaking voice. “Who are you?”

In actuality, being a Demoness in my service, Regine should have already sensed me the moment we came close to Plateau Village. Unfortunately, I was now transformed into a human form by my transformation magicks. My own scent was also blocked out by a high-grade magical cloak that also functioned as a temperature moderator and a defensive tool. Back when I rescued the both of them, I was still a red-skinned Devil; it was only to be expected that she wouldn’t recognise me in this form.

“It’s me.”

Having basically confirmed that Regine recognised who I was, I spread my arms wide open to welcome her. This was our long-awaited embrace of reunion.

“Master…” Now that she had confirmed my identity, her frosty demeanour immediately crumbled, revealing a stunning smile in its place… I just knew that she would recognise me, no matter how I looked like.

It’s been so many years since we’ve last met… I bet Regine has a ton of grievances to air. Don’t worry, you can cry in your master’s arms. Your master will forever be that light in the dark for the both of you!

Faced with my open-armed invitation, Regine was so touched she couldn’t help but shed tears of joy. Yet… the expected hug never came… she instead turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Errr… what? Did I do something wrong? Maybe, deep down, she hates me? Maybe those weren’t tears of joy at all? But not even a hug? Man… someone give me a hug… I just want to cry right now…

“Vice-leader?” Seeing Regine run away crying like that, Siri was just as shocked as well and began running after the girl.

You too, Siri? You too?

Just as I was about to descend into an abyss of depression, Zurnalin gently circled to the front of me and cupped my cheeks with her pearly white hands. Her beautiful face slowly closed in on my own, and just as it looked like our lips were about to make contact, I finally came to my senses and hurriedly pushed her away.

“What are you doing?”

(Say no to content thief!)

Geez, that was close. I almost closed my eyes there… Hold on… why am I the one closing the eyes first? I’m the guy here, she should be the one closing hers first!

Zurnalin still held my face in her hands and she was visibly confused as she said, “Master has such a beautiful face, definitely not terrifying at all, so why did those Humans run away crying like that?”
