20 A *Bigger* Problem (2/2)

In front of the abode, a girl could be seen sitting cross legged. Her beauty eclipsed even the prettiest flower of this place, she radiates a gentle and approachable aura yet distant and proud at the same time. Her black hair was akin to a waterfall, and her figure could cause many men's heart to shudder.

This is Luna, meditating in front of her home inside the institute.

Ever since that day, when she was freed of her torment, she discovered tons of changes that had happened to her. For one, her cultivation slowed down at a very alarming rate. She knew this was because of her removing her connection with the hairpin. She can't really do anything about this since, just like that guy said, she will die if she insisted on fusing with it.

Another is that she was very conflicted right now. One of the main reasons why she can't stay home was because of her torment, yet now she was already cured, she finds herself reluctant to go home. She loved it here, her lifestyle is humble yet honest at the same time. She didn't have to wear any masks of deceit on so on. Plus her childhood friends are here.

Speaking of which...

Luna felt a slight distortion on her surroundings, she opened her eyes and saw two silhouettes approaching from a distance.

One was a crimson haired beauty. She wore a tight fitted shirt that hugged her figure and shorts that went halfway through her thigh. She's also wearing a sleeveless jacket and her hair was gathered into a ponytail. This is Ellen Redcrest of the Vermillion Sky Clan.

As for the other, she was a blonde beauty. Her hair was tied up in braid and there was a white flower on her ear. She wore a green shirt where the sleeves reached her elbows, she also has a wore a skirt that reached her knees while also wearing some leggings. This is Anne Fiore of the Western Star Clan.

Seeing them made Luna's eyes shine. She stood up and waved her hands. As the two girls went closer, she lept towards them and encased them in a tight hug while asking: ”Ellen, Anne! How come you guys are here?”

”To molest you!” Ellen said playfully while running her hands on her waist and started tickling her. Luna giggled and escaped her clutches.

”We asked permission from Professor Lee and he agreed.” Anne said chuckling.

”Come, let's go inside.” Luna grabbed their hands and led them inside her house.

The interior of the house was just as humble as what it looked like outside. Shiny stone floors, marbled walls and wooden furnitures. The windows are open so that the fragrant scent of the flowers outside could seep in. Luna led them to sit down while she went to her kitchen to serve some tea and sandwiches. Once she's done, she went to the living room and sat down with them.

”So, how are you doing so far? Any discomforts?” Anne said while receiving the tea.

Luna smiled and said: ”Never been better. I don't have those whispers and malicious thoughts in my head anymore. I also don't feel any burden in chest.”

”That's good, it seems that you really are cured now.” Ellen said while munching on a sandwich.

”Mn…” Luna nodded dazedly, she was actually hesitating if she should tell them that her cultivation had slowed down and the other stuff as well. Anne noticed this so she immediately asked:

”Is there something that want to tell us?” Concern was present in her voice.

Luna fidgeted and decided to tell them. ”It's nothing much really. I told you that I separated with the hairpin right? I just noticed that after I did that, my cultivation speed seemed to decrease at an alarming rate. I'm not sure about what to think…”

”Oh! Well that certainly is concerning…” Anne frowned as she heard Luna's confession. The girls didn't hide many things from each other, they have been good friends since they were little and that bond naturally made them closer. Of course Ellen and Anne also knew her predicament, if it weren't for their safety then they would stick together as much as they could.

”Nope!” Luna and Anne were startled when they heard Ellen exclaimed. ”There's a 'bigger' problem aside from that!”

Her face was a bit savage as she made a claw using her hand grabbed…Luna's chest.

”Kya~” - Luna

”Oh my…” - Anne
