Chapter 55: The Time (2/2)
”Hmm?” It was Feng's time to tilt his head.
”It seemed like you forced a smile and... it was not really genuine...” Michu didn't know whether he saw it properly, but that was the rough feeling he got from the handsome dude's smile.
”How surprising... Well, in this world, you can't meet princesses and queens on every step. In tales, most of those were the sweetest creatures, but tales are tales... Still, you never know with a woman. She can either step on a redemption road or... still be herself.” Feng smiled, took out a sharpened branch, and put some raw meat on its tip.
He then hovered it above the bonfire, ”Before I forget... What I just told you is backed up by experience. Don't go around and tell people what happened between you and your partners. Eh, I don't know why I am saying something so normal...” What he spoke about was just common advice backed up by his experience. Those pieces of advice never touched anything personal, but the handsome dude was a reliable man and he did as he felt.
Michu nodded, then took out the sausage. Unfortunately, his friends weren't with him, but he could enjoy it with a new friend, ”If I understand it correctly, then this woman is not nice to you?”
”She is not the princess, at least.” Feng sighed, ”You can't tell someone else's heart, can you? You have to spend time with them and if I see even the slightest stain on their hearts, they enter my redemption folder.” Redemption Folder was a sub-category in Feng's friend list for women that had yet to become his and their relationship was in early stages.
Michu munched on the sausage, he replied with big cheeks, ”Aren't you stained too? Why do you have so many women? Doesn't it hurt their hearts?”
”It doesn't if you play it correctly. I also have a bottom line, Michu... Didn't we agree to stray away from this topic, though?” It wasn't like Feng was running away, but his explanation would require him to go deeper into his life. The person on the other side was someone he met two times and it was a friendship made on the spot.
”Sorry! Uh, we are here for equipment!” Michu changed the topic.
”Who isn't? You and I, are both here to reach that. And so was Zerze who ended the Impossible Quest alone and yet I have information that he had a companion,” Feng added another mystery that made Michu blink his eyes.
It would be pointless for Feng to lie or create a lie in the spur of the moment. The monke also couldn't feel any malicious intent out of Feng's eyes. Thus, Michu tilted his head as he munched.
By now, for both of these men, this kind of move meant one thing - ”What are you talking about?”
”The Ice Tomb... There is The Ice Tomb you can reach by going against the time. I initially wanted to play around with my lady here, but you know how it is... This quest is also a good time to check her heart in a tricky situation... So, I wouldn't mind whether I would reach it or not, because I have a more important goal. Still, I can help you reach the tomb.”
”Oh, really?! What is it?”
”Well, you just have to think about the question. The question is - What do you think about the game that can command time?” Feng's question left Michu's mind blank.
