Chapter 32：A warm she’s seeking... (2/2)

Yman really wondered why he got a sulking deity. In any case, he needed to buy some new upgrades to Sistela. The system deity could be upgraded by adding additional data in it. Before, Sistela was just a round ball who cannot do a thing. But after upgrading her last time, she learned how to float.

Now Yman thought of downloading a new app. Which enables her to sing. If ever Yana wanted to listen to music. But Sistela was like a sulking girl. She snubbed her owner. Yman doesn't know whether he would laugh or cry.

She's mad at him because he fought awhile ago without her. Although, he told her the reason.

In the end, he needed to promise not to go in the battle without her, which he agreed with a forced smile.

When Yana feel asleep soundlessly, Yman decided to stroll outside. He left Sistela with Yana as her bodyguard.

He looked up to the sky. Stars were twinkling like jewels. And the moon in crescent was overlooking the night. With some birds passing by. Chasing each other like tag-playing children.

He made a tired smile and thought that it was a waste that Kiko escaped his death this morning. Yman felt that guy would certainly get his revenge later.

”Troublesome.” He muttered.

One month before Kiko could use resonance with his deity again. In this regard, Yman had 1 month to prepare himself before Kiko would take his revenge.

|If only the instructor did not meddle that time. It was the most perfect scenario for Kiko to die.|

Yman sighed.

Now he had to waste some of his energy again in thinking for some solutions to solve that undying problem.

Yman glanced at Yana's tent, then decided to walk towards the bonfire and saw a familiar figure beside it.

It was Almina. Sitting alone. He remembered he was not able to thank her for saving him awhile ago. He thought that it was the right time to thank her.

Yman walked for several steps towards her when he remembered about Almina having a crush on Kiko. And looking at her sitting alone, she must be saddened from what happened to that guy. Yman stopped on his feet and decided not to bother her for now.

He wished for Almina to find someone else better than that waste. For him, Almina was a kind girl, very opposite to Kiko.

Yman went to his tent to sleep.

Almina was staring at the bonfire. Wondering where Yman went. She visited his tent but he wasn't there. She wanted to make a conversation with him. To cut the distance between them.

For long she had wished to ask him to be her friend. But every time she tried, he would always gone.

She glanced at the fire. It was burning brightly. That hot sensation that caressing her skin. Just as warm when he called her name.

Another night had passed...

The travel continued that morning. Everyone was wishing that no more monster would block them.

Finally, after their horrendous travel, everyone finally saw the city gates at the distance. And shades of skyscraper buildings and roofs of houses. They were like painting in their eyes. They could finally relax. Everyone suddenly felt excited.

In the dimly lit room. Where only the footsteps that could be heard. A man wearing a black tailcoat was walking steadily.

He was walking towards a person sitting on a bronze chair with an eccentric design. The person was sitting while levering one of his legs on top of the other. And levering his right fist below his chin. On his face, was a mask with eyes.

When the man arrived near that person, he downed on his knee and said: ”My lord, looks like the Tadpole finally arrived in this place.” Said the man in a tailcoat in a voice that full of respect towards the sitting person.

The masked person made a slight movement: ”Let's see, I wonder if he remained a tadpole in a tiny pond, or become a scavenger to roam the land, or be a brainless falcon and owned the sky when he spread his wings and learned to fly.” His voice had a tinge of mystery.
