Chapter 225 - Knowledge (1/2)
Year 4014 Mist Kingdom - Forbidden workshop-
”Hey, is it okay for us to be here?” Kazuya asked cautiously looking around. After they dropped off the books to the library, Lyn brought him to this place. Kazuya only heard about it when he came here, the forbidden workshop.
”Don't worry, mentor told me it's okay for me to come here anytime,” Lyn said as she raised her hand towards the draws. A glow surrounded her palm, and soon the cabinet and drawers opened.
”These…”
”Ah-huh, you can use anything here to forge weapons. Rather this is one of the main places in the Mist Kingdom to forge weaponry.”
”And uhh, Lyn don't you realize I'm from an enemy Kingdom… Why did you bring me here?” His girlfriend's actions dumbfounded Kazuya. Surely, she isn't this stupid right?
Lyn rolled her eyes, ”You don't have to worry. I only use this place.”
”Huh?”
”Well, if you haven't noticed it was quite a distance away. Nobody would care to come this way.”
Is that the reason? Either way, ”What are we doing here?”
”Kazuya, didn't you say you wanted to work on fixing your sword?”
Kazuya recalled his broken blade and sighed. Naturally, after fighting so much, it would get damaged. But quite some time has passed since he last saw it in such a beat upstate.
”Lyn, do you come here often?”
”Ah-huh, I'm good at forging swords,” Lyn turned to him, ”Give me your sword, I'll see what's wrong with it.”
”Are you sure?”
”Huh, your good at this.”
Lyn laughed, ” Thank you for the praise.”
She looks so pleased whenever he compliments her. Kazuya stood begin her and wrapped his arms around her.
”Kazuya?”
”A reward,” he mumbled against her ear, ”These last two days, sorry I couldn't come to see you.”
”What's your excuse?”
'Excuse, eh,' ”Collapsing and falling asleep after I'm done with work.”
”Ah-huh, I know that. I asked Pupillam to fetch you several times.”
Did she? He didn't know that. Rhys, he probably hid it from him, ”Lyn, have you spoken to Rhys lately?”
”Um,” Lyn flinched, ”Kazuya, I don't think he would want to talk to me.”
”Huh? Why?”
”That's um, he knows we did that so..”
Kazuya blinked confused. It took him a few minutes to register what Lyn just said to him. Rhys found out? How? He didn't blab, and he doubts Lyn did either. Lyn quickly explained to him, and Kazuya sighed, ”I didn't think..”
”Ah-huh, so that's why. Let's leave him alone for a bit.”
”Sorry,” Kazuya apologized, ”I know you two were getting closer.”
”You don't have to apologize; I was thinking that I wanted to distance myself, anyway.”
”Distance?”
”Because, we're getting too close,” Lyn mumbled. Kazuya immediately understood where she was coming from. Too close, huh?
Kazuya's gaze fell on what Lyn was doing. The sword she placed on the desk was glowing several shades of blue. ”Are you reforging it?”
