Chapter 231 - Stagnant as water (1/2)

A few days later Year 4014 Mist Kingdom - Mountains -

Originally they were as still as stagnant water, her time. State of mind. Her feelings and emotions.

She wonders what it is. Is it that? When she wakes up, she immediately starts thinking of Kazuya. And everything else dissolves as though it was never there, to begin with.

Lyn spotted a wooden sort of cottage; and claps her hands. It's been a while since she last came here, even so, she glanced around the surroundings. Nothing but trees and broken down springs. It's still as scary as always. Lyn shook her head; it should be alright. After all, Kyouya at the very bottom of the mountain trail. If she screams loudly, he will be able to hear her. In the end, perhaps she really is still afraid.

But, she recalled the words she said to the ones in charge in the recent shooting. ' Although when I first read the plan, I did think why the hell is there such a scene. Thank you very much, not to mention people will probably see me as the current Lyn. If that's how it is then maybe that scene will evoke some sympathy. But either way, I really do want to act out that scene where I beat the criminal to a pulp.'

That's right she's already resolved herself. And also, actually, she now has a secret weapon. Even her characters brother cannot compare to him. No matter how deep she drowns, he can easily pull her up.

God, please allow her to find the light again, and make his radiance never fade. Also, make sure that Kazuya will actually study, ' Although, her sweatdropped. She recalled what that person said; he made such a comment about preferring Kazuya to be with Princess. At the end of the day, he did say the words ' I acknowledge your skill.' For now, she supposed she ought to be okay with that.

Hearing a clattering sound. Lyn turned to look on her left to find a mountain dog leaving from the shed beside the wooden shrine. Seeing the door open, she couldn't help but take a peek inside. Nobody's here, right? Upon entry, though she noted that there were large amounts of trash bags, bottles, food scraps. Books, a flashlight beside a large sleeping bag.

Is someone living here? Lyn picked up the book closest to the sleeping bag.

The Legend of Shishupal.

Kamui.

An image of black-haired man dawned in eastern clothes appeared in her head. As she opened her eyes. … No way, he would never read these types of books. He's never been the type. ' I wish I was normal. Despite what it seems like I really do crave that lifestyle. But for a monster like me, this is the only path possible. ' it can't be his. Yet, Lyn knew that he's been lurking around the main town. He doesn't stay in the main headquarters so if you think about it carefully… this is exactly the kind of place he will remain in.

Lyn scanned the room further to look for more hints but unfortunately, aside from the fact that it was messy. There didn't seem to be anything else valuable. He's always been like that, gone one second. He was always riding the wind and dancing to his own pace. But, if he did come here. She wouldn't know what to say to him either. After awhile Lyn left the shed with the book in her hands. Even if it isn't his…

She automatically spotted purple by the end of the path, ”Kyoya!”

”Are you done with your prayers?”

”Yes, let's go.”

Kyouya nodded as they made their way down the flight of stairs. ”Will you be gone for long?”

”Only for three days. There wasn't much left for the banquet in the first place. But with the events these next few months,

”I see that makes sense,” Kyouya nodded, ”I do have to ask you something.”
