Chapter 24 Wassup!
Alex and Alina went back to Clint's house silently, with their faces housing a cloudy expression that made both Natasha and Clint worried
Once Alex was inside the house, Alina hastily left the place
She never once looked back as she walked away
”That girl…” Clint shook his head as he realized what Alina did
Clint knew all about the matter of Alina's sister and Alina's current master
Clint also kne ths that he can do with that mind of his
If he could do it, Clint would have already gone out of his way to whoop Alina's master to solve her problems
But Clint cannot due to his restrictions
”Alina must have wanted Alex to distance hi the attic ”Logically speaking, what she did was right, since Alex will just be in ets closer with her, but…”
”But Alina looks affected by her decision” Natasha said as she reht that we could set those two up as lovebirds… It seems like fate really is not in store for theed a flower vase
”Well, there is still a chance that Alina will change her mind” Clint said as he suddenly talked to Alex, as in the attic
”Oi Alex, did Alina said so you ht against me every day until her departure day” Alex's reply sounded subdued but also tense ”She also said that I have to use those days on e”
”See?” Clint said to Natasha as he pointed at the attic ”If Alina will continue to visit here for the next 7 days, her e”
”That is if Alex e her mind” Natasha replied as she casted a doubtful look at the attic ”But seeing Alex right now, it seeive any answer in return, as he felt that Natasha was right
”Well, that ard” Asteria hesitantly said as she glanced at Alex
Alex had been quiet at the return journey, and he still stayed quiet here inside the attic
Asteria did not like what she was seeing, so she atteht now
”Are you… really fine hat Alina told you to do? ”Asteria inquired as she tilted her head ”That's a Bonus Mission wasted!”
In regards to Asteria's question, the only thing that Alex gave her was a s that”
”Plans?” Asteria scoffed as she thought that Alex
”Are you sure about that? You have a plan to destroy the World Diagram, save the people from its repercussions, and help Alina, all in just 15 days? That is really impressive, if your plan really exists”
”I have been h ”At those research ram… is not really how it is portrayed in reality”
”Oh, so you believe those crackpot conspiracy theories in Feddit?” Asteria snickered as she re the net earlier in his free ti my research on Feddit?” Alex retorted as he seemed to be offended ”That website is a free site where everyone can post their opinion!”
”But I saw one post in Feddit saying that the World Diagram is a captured space whale, and that it wants to turn every Esper into Unicorns” Asteria said as she watched Alex cringe ”That is a crackpot theory, and you know that the other theories in Feddit are crackpot too”
”That theory of course is fake!” Alex retorted as he tried to somehow justify himself ”But there are soraether to make my plan”
”Oh, and are you inclined to share your plan to me?” Asteria said as she stared at Alex
”Nope, I won't be telling it to you for now” Alex said as he smirked at Asteria ”After all, even if you know about it, I a to improve it Besides, it will be better for you to just watch me perform my plan”
”Hrily ”But letfirst Are you interested in Alina?”
”Oh yes, I am indeed interested with her” Alex replied quickly
”Oh, you don't have to deny it anymo- what? You just admitted it that quickly?” Asteria spluttered out after she heard Alex's reply ”Weren't you scared and wary of her earlier?”
”I am still scared and wary of her now” Alex replied cal with her for the past 2 days, you can say that I gradually grew to like Alina”
”2 days You just interacted with her for 2 days, and you say that you are already interested with her” Asteria monotonously muttered as she stared at Alex ”Isn't that a little too fast?”
”If you like a person, it doesn'tit took If you like a person, then you like that person Just as simple as that” Alex replied as if it was thein the world
”I think your viewpoint is really… carefree…” Asteria hesitantly replied But that hesitation of her disappeared as she sly asked Alex,
”Do you think that Alina's view of you is just as carefree as you?”
”Well, why should it matter?” Alex replied with a hint of sadness in his voice ”Even if there is a small chance that she likes me, it will be also terminated once I leave this world fora Traveler” Asteria said as she gave Alex a pitying look ”No matter what bonds you o to another world…”
Alex visibly shook after hearing this, even though it looked like he had already prepared hi breath as he asked Asteria,
”Is it… possible for me to return to this world in the future, even when I am on a different world?”
”It is possible traveler” Asteria replied quickly ”As long as you have enough lifespan to pay for it Although the price for that will be astronomical Like, super astronomical”
”Its always about the lifespan Seems like the Endless Monarch really loves to suck our essences…”
