Chapter 71 - 70 I Like You (2/2)

”Sorry about that. I must be my hyper-metabolism”. Said Wally while cradling his side. The exhales coming from every corner of the room where silenced when Caster appeared who was standing in the clothes from her Saint Graph.

She looked at Gray with a bored expression as she gracefully sat down at the table. Caster didn't normally wear the clothes that she was summoned with but after her training session with the Team, she opted to wear it more often.

Getting her favorite clothes shredded was both a good way for her to go above the limits of the Team, and to cause Gray an annoyance on a Divine scale.

Everyone gathered around the island table with multiple chairs and seats placed around the massive bench, with Gray and Kara sitting down beside each other in a corner of the table. They were talking to only each other, and the others would be lying if they said they weren't listening while having their own conversations.

Even the newcomer to the table, Bekka couldn't help but listen as she spoke with Conner and M'gann.

”.... Although the relationship between Diana and I is complicated, we are a thing. I don't want to lose that”.

Kara nodded albeit a little bit quicker than she would've liked to admit. Her face reddened slightly as the warm summer breeze came through the open window. Causing everyone to get flushed faces, with the exception of Caster who just melted in the presence of the heat.

”I know. I don't want to get between you and Diana. But....”.

”But what Kara?”.

She turned a little bit redder but restrained it before speaking, her words cut through the conversation at the table like a hot knife through buŧŧer.

”I like you Gray. I really like you”.

The Pseudo-Servant went wide eyed and a multitude of responses went through his head, but didn't rely on any of them to form his answer.

He couldn't rely on them to make choices for him for his entire life. The Pseudo-Servant, no, the man who was both more than Human and more than Servant smiled before nodding.

”I like you too Kara. But I can't not like Diana either”.

Kara gave a Gray a smile that was in between acceptance and rejection. Not caring that her response caused everyone at the table to look at the pair with wide eyes and dropped mouths. She reached out and grasped Gray's hand within hers, not caring about the gasps coming from all across the room.

”I guess I'll have to learn to share”.

The look of shock was greater on Gray's face than anyone else present. Due to the distance, neither noted that a pair of brown eyes looked at Gray with a savage expression on his face. A red mark in the shape of two tusks and a trunk could be seen on his right hand.

The brown eyed figure spoke, his words causing a massive change in the mana surrounding New York City.

”Rider, with the power of my Command Seals I order you.... Kill that man!”.

The sound of lightning striking on a perfectly good evening echoed throughout the City that never sleeps.
