Chapter 270: Feelings (1/2)

His hair grew a little longer, but it suits him better. Unlike the thin and sickly-looking face before, he was more manly now and he looks more handsome. His height, even from afar, she could tell that he was taller now. More about him had changed. But Almina knew, she knew it was him!

Her heartbeat was faster than normal as her longing eyes glued at the figure, who was calmly walking towards the backstage, to where all of them were waiting.

Until she couldn't wait anymore and let her feet drag her. Everyone was staring at her back as she rushed the exit towards the stage.

The surrounding noise was nothing to her. The only noise she was hearing at the moment was the noise coming from his footsteps and noise inside her.

Before Yman arrived backstage, he was surprised at the sudden figure.

”EEEEHHHHHHH!!!”

Everyone exclaimed when suddenly, a familiar figure rushed and leaped then hugged him out of a sudden.

Yman widened his eyes. The first thing that came to his mind was that he regretted that he let his guard open. He wasn't expecting that even in this competition someone would come to ambush him. Wait, why him though? It was supposed to be Rea since she was their target. So, why did they come to ambush him?

Hmm, maybe they wanted to dispatch him first so that no one would protect Rea anymore.

Sigh! He wondered how they knew that he was herprotector.

What a blunder.

He made a blunder to himself.

He never expected that such an enemy that even his high perception ability failed to perceive would come to ambush him. He was too young to die. Why now? Why this time that he already healed his sister? It was supposed to be the start of his happy life together with his sister and friends.

Yet,

The time had come. He closed his eyes and waited. He waited for his demise. He waited for the stab. It would be painful for sure.

However,

”I-I… I miss you…” he heard a sob voice of someone.

However, it was inappropriate in his current situation. Maybe the almighty creator was teasing him? Because he would die as a virgin? And no girlfriend since birth.

Actually, he met some lovely people this past month. And most of them were friendly to him.

He made few friends. But why was her voice he was hearing for this last moment?

Just then,

”I miss you…(hic)!”

”...”

Yman fell silent when he heard her voice again. Right after that, he realized the soft and warm sensation. And the fragrance of someone that was pleasing in his nose.

He slowly opened his eyes and gawked. IT WAS HER!!! Never did he imagine that it was Miss Almina who was the assassin!

(Hic)!

'Wait, something was off. She was sobbing…? And why was she hugging me? Wait, wait, wait, this was too sudden! But fortunately, I feel so happy.' He didn't know what was happening as his mind was still murky.

After defeating that super strong enemy at the riverside, he lost his consciousness. Then he woke up a few minutes later. He only managed to regain a little of his stamina. They immediately came here in a rush as he was excited to see his sister and everyone.

But then, something happened when they were walking in the street. They encountered a group of youngsters. Because of it, he had to waste the little stamina he had.

It wasn't easy fighting with a little bit of stamina while at the same time controlling his enhanced fire dolls.

After the fight was settled, they immediately went to Miss Pai's hotel. Because his sister was staying there.

Then again, he wasted another amount of his stamina in completing the elixir and medicine.

As he could not directly heal other people. He used his special enhanced fire doll to act as the healer.

First, he let her sister drink the Tampering Elixir made by Airi and him. Then, the special enhanced fire doll did its job right after the Tampering Elixir took effect.

The process was so heart-rending. But he remained calm. He could not make a little mistake.

After his sister's countenance showed change. He took the bean-like medicine! The Heaven Defying Medicine!

Fortunately, it was a success! Though it was a success, he prohibited his sister from using mana for a few days as she was newly healed. Even though he felt the excitement in her, he prohibited her from using her mana for a couple of days. As expected, his sister was blessed with an abundance of mana.

When her broken Hollow Cell came together, a sudden influx of mana burst out from her that knocked him for 5 minutes.

Then together tmwith Rea and his sister,the three of them came here as he was a participant also. Speaking of Rea, he felt strong killing intent from his back towards his direction. He wondered why Rea was sending such intent.

Meanwhile, he was in a situation where he didn't know what to do.

Could it be, just a dream?

It certainly was just a dream. It was impossible that someone like Almina Amulet would come to hug him, right?

Wait, although his mind was murky at the moment, he could tell that it was real.

He stared at her and was at a loss for words. In this kind of situation, in which he didn't know why she was hugging him while saying sweet-sounding words.

Could it be a friendly greeting? Hm, but he noticed some tears in her eyes. So it's probably not just a friendly greeting.

'Almina is… she is more beautiful than usual…' he thought as he wiped her wet eyes. Yman smiled at her and slowly approached her face.

Feeling his warm hands wiping her tears, Almina felt the heat on herface. She knew that at the moment her face was redder than red.

In one of the private rooms, Miss Ice was covering her mouth while staring at Almina and that person with who she was familiar. She knew it! She already noticed it the first time he was gone. Almina that time was at a loss.
