Chapter 105 Golem war 8 (1/2)
”Mars wake up”
”hmm..?”
Mars turned but refused to wake up
”Mars... fine, Gus go get the bucket with ice water”
”yes captain”
”I'm up!”
Mars shoot up and opened his eyes which made him half blind form the light in the room
”bright!”
he quickly closed his eyes again before he began rubbing them with his hands, after some time passed he opened his eyes again only this time he did it slowly so they had time to adjust to the light
”...are you okay?”
”yeah I'm fine... just getting used to my new eyes”
”new eyes?”
Vanessa leaned in and looked at Mars's eyes before she covered her mouth in shock
”Mars your eyes!”
”what about them?”
”they have changed, now they are like dragon eyes!”
”oh... well I guess that explains the bleeding...”
”what bleeding?”
Mars averted his gaze and shut his mouth, but Vanessa kept probing
”bleeding... did your eyes bleed?”
”yes, well... it's hard to explain”
'more like its a pain to explain...'
”hard to explain..?”
Vanessa pondered for a moment before she asked
”dose it have something to do with your apostle status?”
Mars gave a sigh before he spoke
”...yeah you could say that”
”oh... in that case I won't ask anymore”
”...thanks”
finished being questioned by Vanessa Mars got out of bed and put on some clothes
”I'm gonna go get some food”
”I'll join you”
Mars looked over at Nicole that had also just woken up and gave a nod
”okay then let's go”
Mars walked out of the tent and was once again blinded by the bright morning light
”ah fuck!”
”what's wrong Mars?”
”it's nothing, just getting used to my new eyes”
”okay?”
Nicole tilted her head to the side before she ran around to Mars's front and looked at his eyes
”wow”
”...I know right? please don't ask”
”okay... well now you look a lot more like a half dragon”
”...did the flaming rose also have eyes like this?”
Nicole tilted her head to the side
”I wonder... I never actually served under her so I don't know”
”okay, well then let's go get some food”
”yeah I'm starving”
Mars and Nicole went over to the eating area and got their food before they sat down and began eating with Mars, or more likely his new eyes attracting attention from the other soldiers meanwhile Nicole asked
”so I heard a rumor, is it true you have a elvish girlfriend?”
”well... she not really my girlfrie---”
”I'm not?”
Mars froze up meanwhile Nicole had a teasing smile on her face as she looked at Mars that was half crying
”hey Mars do you care to repeat what you just said?”
Mars slowly turned around and saw Chloe standing right behind him and in a effort to try and distract her he pointed to his eyes and said with a stiff smile on his face
”hey Chloe, see I got new eyes”
”...don't try to weasel your way out of this, repeat what you were going to say”
'...shit.... well might as well go all in'
”well as I was saying, you're not my girlfriend you're my soulmate”
”...humph, well I suppose I can let it slide”
Chloe still looked a little unsatisfied but still sat down next to Mars with her food and slowly began to eat while Mars wiped his forehead
”so when did you get new eyes?”
”...last night”
”I see”
”...wait you're not going to ask about it?”
”well I probably has to do with 'that' right?”
”...yeah, well it does”
”then I won't ask now”
”...thanks”
