Chapter 408 - Unbelievable (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

Using his words as a guide post became something common for her. Whenever Lyn thought of doing anything reckless, she would think back to the words Kazuya said to her. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop her from getting herself involved in such careless situations. 'Gabrielle will get angry.' If her friend finds out this happened right after they parted ways, then she would surely blame herself.

Lyn didn't intend to sneak out this time. However, she saw strange people lurking on the castle grounds. So, before she knew it - she followed them. Their destination was an area not too far from the castle grounds.

This is really unbelievable, no matter how much Lyn cuts down even more regenerate; and she's sure that the others have noticed it too. No matter how much they cut down it won't end. Rather when did it start snowing? Indeed the mountains that were clear just moments ago were now filled with fresh pure snow. Fighting in this weather isn't ideal but it's not like they have much of a choice right now.

Rhys told her not to use it but in this stage just cutting them down normally won't work. Lyn lifted her hand and a familiar blade appears. With the sword in hand, she stabbed it in the center of the ground causing a stream of magiv to appear. The large impact lifted her up in to the air; and she's well aware that the other three despite being surrounded by themselves were rushing over to reach her. Even if it's them they can't catch her from this height;but instead of hitting the ground with a large thud. She feels a familiar warmth and looked up,

”Kazuya?”

Indeed despite her dazed state Lyn made out bright brunette hair, those stupid eyes and grin. However, something about his usual look seemed colder.

”Lyn, that's what you get,” Kazuya tried to sound intimidating. But, it failed. Kazuya couldn't mask his concern for her. Yet, that failed to register in her eyes. Why? Why is he such a fool?

”Why? Why did you come?” Lyn shouted, as she sat up. She struggled however and lost her balance several times, until Kazuya reached out to help her. She slapped his hand away, ”What's the point of everything I've done up until now?! Why have I been --”

What was the use of sacrificing everything? If he's going to end up fighting alongside her like this? Exposing himself to danger..

”Shut up,” he interjects.” 'Live.' Huh? You want me to live like a normal person now? When did I ever say that's what I wanted?! When did I ever ask for that?”

His sudden outburst surprised her. Kazuya is always smiling in front of her and acts like an idiot. Yet, Lyn knew this side of him very well. It surprised her, but Lyn immediately counter argued. ”You're being unpleasant. So very unpleasant,” Lyn said hitting his chest, yet he grabbed hold of her wrist.

”I think you're being unpleasant. I refuse to accept this. I don't want to live if it means living without you. A future without you. ..means nothing at all to me,” Kazuya snapped.
