Chapter 67 - Valuable Research Material (1/2)

A few days later, Year 4014- Mist Kingdom.

”So, we agreed to escort you there. But did your Mother permit you to come here?” Rhys asked.

The three of them were in the central library in the middle of town. The reason why is because of the request her mentor said, 'There's a special parcel I need picking up, would you fetch it for me?' While it was an unusual request, Lyn didn't want to dwell on the details. It meant leaving town, not just town but the Mist Kingdom. The parcel her mentor wanted her to fetch is in the Land of Snow. A place completely further away and different from the Mist Kingdom. When Lyn heard that, she immediately said yes without a second thought.

Kazuya and Rhys offered to go with her, or rather, that was the only way she could leave. With Pupillam busy with her family affairs, and the General busy with the army - Kazuya and Rhys were the only ones her eldest brother allowed to act as her escort.

”Mother is busy lately, so Mentor asked Eldest Brother before he came to see me.”

”So, he just naturally assumed that you would say yes?”

Lyn rolled her eyes, why does Rhys sound like he is getting defensive for? Forget about him though; she turned to her boyfriend - it still felt strange saying that. But Lyn is slowly starting to get used to it. She went from having no clue about romance to having a boyfriend in the spam of almost two months, miracles happen huh?

”Kazuya?” she called out to her boyfriend who sat across from her.

Since earlier, he seemed rather spaced out, ”What's wrong?”

He suddenly bent down and kissed her lips, ”Nothing much.”

Okay, so he doesn't want to tell her, that's fine and all. But why did he kiss her? Aren't kisses supposed to happen under romantic situations? But she does like the feeling of his lips on hers, so she won't comment.

”Doesn't this library give you the creeps?” Kazuya asked.

”Yeah, I was thinking so too.”

Lyn looked at them, confused, ”Really? I come here all the time,” or at least whenever they let her out. But she had to admit it had been quite some time since she last came here. Ever since they lifted the restriction regarding her going out. Lyn used that chance to explore different towns in the Mist Kingdom.

Kazuya brushed his hand across her face, ”Well if you say so, are you okay? You still have a fever.”

”I'm okay, I wanted to do some research before we go,” Lyn explained. Though she understood it is better to see things in person, and that these books will contain limited information. It's not just that, underneath all the research materials were books regarding relationsh.i.p.s.

Pupillam gave her those other books to read before, but the General and Gabrielle told her to stop reading books on relationsh.i.p.s. Gabrielle insisted that while romance stories are nice and all,

Rhys, however, sat close to her, so he saw what she was reading. He laughed, and she frowned, ”It's not funny,” because it really isn't. This is valuable research material!
