Chapter 245 - The Lonely Devil (6) (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

”It's you!” I couldn't contain the excitement I felt. The feeling of meeting someone you know in a new place was really amazing. The initial fear was nowhere to be seen. The boundary that I built between us had disappeared as well. I only felt slightly relief that I met someone I knew here.

Even so, it was really odd that I met him here on my first visit in this dimension, on my first try -scratch that, I didn't even try to find him since the one I was looking for was the boss of the red devil. I already knew that this man was a devil, so finding him here wasn't that surprising for me.

But, meeting him on my first visit here was seriously strange. It was like fate was playing with me. He used to try to kill me but at the same time didn't really execute his deadly moves to me. Even though he was such an annoying man -no, devil -for always 'forcing' me to put my life on the line, I couldn't deny that he had taught me many things.

Ever since that day I saw his strange gaze when I mentioned about First Master and then when he helped me to get the robe.

To be more precise, it was after I saw a change of emotion in his gaze and face. He was not just a devil. He was something more than that and as much as I wanted to deny the curiosity in me, I wanted to know more about him.

Which leading me to have this unsuitable emotion towards him.

In which history stated that a human would feel happy when one met a devil?

Fear should be the right word. Or reverence, for those who worshipped them.

Happy had never been the word. Yet, that was what I felt the moment I saw him.

However, it was obvious that the man didn't share the same excitement that I felt. He had a stupefied expression on his face and his gaze said the impended words in his throat, ”What are you doing here?”

”Is this your place?” I asked him casually, ignoring the big question mark above his head.

”What are you doing here?” He asked, instead of answering my question.

”Oh, I was chasing a bad guy nearby. Is this your place? Why are you sitting here alone?” I was moving closer to him as I threw him my question.

”Bad guy?” He frowned a bit, then he looked around with his sharp gaze. It was as if he was staring through the thick wall into somewhere far away. If he said he was scanning the perimeter, I would have believed him on the spot.

Seeing that his gaze and expression changed, I knew that he must have found the bad guy I mentioned. From the look of it, he knew that guy as well.

”Do you know him?” I raised my eyebrows in suspicion.

He pulled him back and stared at me. There was a faint smile in the corner of his lips when he looked at me, which confused me a bit. Even his gaze changed.

Admiration and... what was it? Why did I feel that he had the same gaze that Sanji had back then?

I shook my head. What was I thinking about? It was impossible, okay!

First, he was devil, a big shot in this realm. There was no way a devil could be with a human!

Second, I didn't even know his name! That's right!

Should I ask him? I scratched my face lightly while pondering whether I should ask it or not.

”Stop it.” His hand grabbed my wrist, stopping me from scratching my non-itchy face and successfully pulling me back to the reality.

I was surprised since his action was too intimate for our status of relationship.
