Chapter 38 - M.D.B 38: A Gentleman? A Coward! (2/2)
Saint bȧrėly opened up his sleepy eyes, sat up in bed and then shouted: ”What?”
Lorna pushed the door and walked in: ”Where did you go in the middle of the night? And when did you come back?”
”WHOA!”
Lorna heard Saint scream, and saw him covering his upper body with sheets and say: ”I didn't ask you to come in!”
Upon seeing that, Lorna, who came through the door, couldn't help but have the side of her lip twitch: ”Is there some sort of mistake? I thought I'm the girl, not you!”
”…”
Saint remained silent for while, and then argued: ”I'm used to sleeping nȧkėd; this is a normal reflex!”
”…”
Lorna glanced at pants on the side on the bed, and then to the mysterious bulge that the sheet was covering; she gasped quietly, and then asked Saint without looking away: ”Do you need me to leave?”
Saint puffed and just said: ”Forget it. What were you asking about?”
”What happened last night? Did SHIELD come for trouble at night?”
”Oh, it's not that. It's just that Colleen had returned, so I went to the do…”
”Sensei's back?! Why didn't you tell me?!” Lorna interrupted Saint and yelled: ”Boss! You've promised me to tell me of Sensei's arrival whenever you sense her Ki!”
”Uh….”
Saint knew all too well that he did promise her, so technically he was in the wrong here. He just tried to explain with a calm voice: ”At the time, the situation was too urgent. By the time I returned, you had already fallen asleep, and I didn't want to wake you up.”
”I she still in the Dojo?”
”She should be there; yesterday I…. oh!”
Saint could only watch as Lorna vanished from his room. He heard the squeaking of the stair's steps as she was rushing to the lower floor.
”At least close the door behind you…”
Saint laid back in bed, trying to get back to sleep, but he knew he wouldn't. After just half a minute, took away the sheets and started putting on his clothes.
After washing his face and teeth, he got down to the restaurant. After checking out the stocks in the restaurant, he felt that there was to replenish them. He just took some food and went straight to the quiet room to practice.
While Saint only had only had Goku's knowledge, and not his non memories, he was becoming closer and closer in nature to him as time went by, quickly turning into a training and fighting fanatic.
Two hours later, at eleven o'clock, his alarm clock rang, telling him that is was time to prepare for lunch service.
Another quarter of an hour went by, and Saint put down his kitchen knife, wiped his hands, and took out his phone to message Lorna: ”Won't you come back to have lunch?”
