Chapter 438 - Mysterious Jade Part 2 (1/2)

Kazuya gave her strength, but he also causes her to get angry. The reason why he tried to hold her tightly was simply because he was hiding something. After walking for a few minutes, Lyn could no longer feign ignorance. That's why when she saw him staggering, Lyn immediately made him sit down on one of the nearby rocks. It wasn't a comfortable place to sit. But if they walked any longer, than Kazuya would surely collapse. She won't allow anything bad to happen to him.

”Stay still,” Lyn instructed as she took out a medical box from her bag. It only had the basic stuff inside, like some healing potions and ointments. Still, it was enough.

”Ah, as expected of you, Lyn. You're clumsy, so you still carry bandages with you.”

”Be quiet. I don't want to hear that from you.

”Thank you.”

Kazuya extended his arm out and loosened his robes. When she saw the wound, Lyn wanted nothing more than to look away. However, she didn't want to look like she was escaping. Besides, it won't do her any good. Lyn quickly examined the wound. It looked like a massive cut from a sword.

”How did you get this?” Lyn inquired.

”A chase, they set a trap. It was quite cool. This large sword appeared out of nowhere.”

Lyn didn't bother inquiring anymore. She drew her hand back and returned to Gabrielle's side. She watched as Kazuya slowly got up and trailed after them.

Now shouldn't be the time to reminisce. Besides, Lyn needed to focus on the task before her. But as they continued walking, Lyn couldn't help but think back to certain memories.

'What's with that nickname?

I don't have that letter in my name?'

'Eh. But it's really cute, I think it suits you. '

'If you just wanted to call me cute, you could have just said so. '

She is happy to see him. If possible, she wants to be able to treasure this moment. However, now that they are in this place, there is something she has to do, even if there's already no hope in connecting the three of them together.

No sooner had they arrived at the top of the mountain path; she saw a log house. ”Perfect, it's still there,” Kazuya said.

”Where is this”

”Getting the jade is easy, but the security is tight. I know someone who can provide a secret route without giving us much trouble.”

Lyn frowned when she hears his words. ”What do you mean it's easy?”

Kazuya sweat fell, ”Hey Lyn, you do realize the only way we can get the jade is to steal it, right? Trust me on this one.”

Indeed, it doesn't seem like they have a better plan right now. Lyn supposed she would have to put aside her morals. Lyn glanced over at Gabrielle; it surprised her that her friend wasn't saying anything about this.
