Chapter 272: Body interference (1/2)

Everyone around him was trying to cheer him up. Yman felt it from his sister and Almina. It was goodthat someone other than his sister treat him nicely.

Rea, on the other hand, was barely talking, even though she was always there beside him. Could it be that she was worried about him? She wasn't even mentioning their situation. The situation about him as her bodyguard. Whenever he tried to converse with her about it, she would look away and only made a sad expression on her face.

It was weird.

Her response towards him, whenever he opted for a conversation, was always reserved with only yes or no. It seemed like she didn't know how to make a conversation with him. Oddly, he felt so foreign towards her.

Although he tried to converse with her, the only voice that came out his mouth was inaudible. So maybe it was also the reason that she putaway his advance for a conversation.

However, he could not get rid of the feeling that she wasn't on her usual self. It was his honest feeling at the moment.

He was gazing outside looking at the people flying everywhere on their transport bird, some were alone and some with pairs.

In truth.

Every night and day, Almina and his sister would come to visit him, telling him about the competition.

7 days had passed, his situation had never become better and worse and his stamina was always so low. It seemed like the time had stopped specially for him.

This day was the championship of the competition. However, he had no news about it lately. His sister and Almina seemed like they were avoiding mentioning it.

Whenever he tried to ask about it, they would drift the topic away.

Weird.

The first time he noticed that something wasn't right was after his sister asked to join the competition in his stead.

After that, he felt excluded. And although he felt weak, his mind was very active.

It seemed like his illness was only in his body and his mind wasn't affected by it.

Isn't it weird? He thought. His instincts were screaming that something wasn't right in the current situation he was with.

Yet, another three days had passed. The sky had started to dim once again. He wondered if his sister also felt the same way he felt right nowwhen she was in this kind of situation. For some other reason, their situation had reversed.

He wanted to go out and do things he usually does. In fact, there were many things he wanted to do but… in his current situation, those things were impossible now huh.

”Brother, good night,” said Yana.

”Mhm!” He could only nod.

After his nod, she turned off the light in the room.

Tonight, there was only him again in this hospital room.

Although he was currently lying on the bed, his eyes were gazing at the dim sky through the glass window curtained by a thin white cloth. So even if there was a curtain, he could still see the tiny twinkling stars in the skies.

Those stars are the same stars he was gazing with the other night.

Well, it wasn't like stars would run away right? Wait!

Wait, wait, wait, isn't it weird? Those stars are in the same position as yesterday and the other days.

And also, he noticed something out of ordinary!

These past days, there were only stars in the skies. If he wasn't wrong, there should be Transport Birds going everywhere this time around. But why the hell they only showed in the daytime? And in the nighttime, not even one!

Since he was frequently gazing from the window the first time they arrived in this city, the first thing he noticed whenever he was gazing through it was that around this time several transport birds would pass by from time to time. People tend to travel this time of the night.

And yet, he could not even spot even one. It was easy to notice a transport bird as they were tied with blinking lights whenever they flew at night.

It was also why I liked gazing at them at night. They were like passing fireflies in the sky.

'It can't be…' he thought.

Yman pulled himself upward and sat on the bed. He gazed at his hand.

Now that he thought about it. In the morning, he occasionally heard the conversation of Yana, Almina, Rea, and the doctor. But never even once that he saw his doctor's face.

Also, it was impossible that Miss Pai did not come to visit him.

C-could it be…?

Yman while gazing at his hand, he tried to summon his Crimson mana. A moment later his hands glowed in crimson.

He was right!

He was right!

He was right!
