Chapter 303 - Youre not alone (1/2)

Such an earnest and intense look in his eyes. It's the first time she has met a person like this. There is something, she hasn't told Arthur yet. Something she has wanted to say. But, Lyn refrained from doing so. Now that she knows the truth, she won't say it for now.

She will keep it buried away.

….

Year 4014 Mist Kingdom (Present)

When Lyn opened her eyes, she hears the sound of yelping. ”Ouch, ouch. Rhys, why are you always so aggressive?”

”Then, do you want me to apply ointment on you gently? Forget it; you're not a beautiful girl.”

”Tsk, what did you do to Lyn?”

”Nothing, if I did. Believe me, it will be my arms; she comes running too.”

That shameless man! Lyn sighed. Forget it; she shouldn't get so worked up whenever he does anything. Her body felt slightly better, but she knew better than to push it. She ought to get changed... Lyn looked around and saw a pair of female clothing on the edge of her bed and paused. Did Rhys go out and get clothes for her?

Shaking that thought aside, Lyn reached out for the fabric. After a few minutes, she finished getting dressed and stood up. The second she opened the door, though, Kazuya greeted her.

”My cute Lyn!” he exclaimed and hugged her tightly.

”M—Moron,” Lyn mumbled. During such times, why is he such an idiot? Still, she felt slightly happy. He's warm… it's uncomfortable; Lyn wrapped her arms around him. But suddenly, Kazuya yelped in pain.

Rhys sighed, ”Idiot. Lyn let go of him, he's hurt again.”

Wait what?! Lyn looked at him, horrified and turned to Kazuya, who was wincing in pain. ”Why did you get hurt? I told you to…”

Kazuya laughed, ”It seems like I'm a popular target these days. Don't worry about it too much.”

Don't worry about it? He's going to get himself killed if he keeps doing this. 'All things alive die one day,' the words from her dream of the past echoed. Lyn shook her head; no, this case is different. This is a human life. Come to think of it, Kazuya's carelessness reminds her of that person. That guy was always like that.

Lyn held him tighter in her arms. Kazuya smiled. ”I like it when you hug ms Lyn, but I think my wounds will reopen if you continue doing this..”

”Oh, uh, I'm sorry,” Lyn moved away from him.

Kazuya, however, reached over and pulled her into his arms. ”I don't mind staying like this, though.”

Kazuya...

Lyn felt a dark aura and noticed the look Rhys was giving them. Her sweat fell uh...

..

A few hours later

Aah, that formal meeting wore her out. Lyn stretched her arms as she walked down the hallway.

Though it's to be expected that there are a lot who wish to see her, this sort of timing is quite bothersome if you ask her. She came to this place to rest. But it's not as though there's anything else she can do. Upon spotting brown colored hair by the window ledge, she calls out to him, ”What are you doing, Kazuya?”

”Ah Lyn,” Kazuya greeted her with his usual bright smile. When she made her way over, she saw that he had several items out on the ground.

”I'm just checking the tools for casting magic. Items that will not be used during battle need to be kept in a safe place,” Kazuya pointed to a grey pouch. Ah...maybe she can make him a new one.

”Old hair, old blood from different people, discarded clothes. Animal skin..” By this point, she had already made her way over and was beside him, examining the items, ” But it would be bad if the enemy stole them, so the pouch has to have your magical properties.”

”And the other items?” Lyn looked at them curiously. While she did learn a lot about magic in Junlan church, there is still a lot she needs to learn.

”Let me see, over there is a piece of old hair; this cant be used though since the color has changed too much. I will just keep them in places people can't see.”

Lyn nodded and turned to the other items. ”This is a single tooth, what is this black object?”
