Chapter 260 - Survival of the Fittest(1) (1/2)

Eric and Osira made their way back to Section 2 and entered the first tunnel on the right to show everyone what they have found, it is a considerable win because you can't find 4,000 Gold Coins just anywhere, her and Eric were so happy to start off this exploration with a huge win and neccesarily a contribute but they found their selves in an embarrassing situation.

More specifically, everyone in this room but the kids, thought that Eric and Osira will hit it off! As in, connect in that way! I mean although the minor age difference, they are both Ignites, fairly attractive and were often seen arguing it out. Well Osira mostly but still, everyone expected something including Bittore!

Starting off the conversation with a taunting smile on her face, Bittore asked. ”So what did you two love birds find?”

”Love birds?” Asked Eric, this came in as more as a shock. This is indeed embarrassing so he became a bit red, but just a bit!

As for Osira, ”Mother!” She pouted with a loud whisper as she quenched her teeth in just a little bit of anger, the stomp on the ground in embarassmant proved her bit of rage but her face becoming mostly red proved her shyness at this point.

”I told you he wouldn't try anything!” Reminded Mogranius as she bit a chunk of Ratbug leg that he hunted down himself. ”You would have to push this boy over her for him to ever actually touch anyone, he was even against hugs until a while ago!”

”Mogranius!” He lightly shouted, hoping he will shut his mouth.

Most in the crowd just giggled while Bittore herself has busted in to laughter because of Mogranius' nonsense of a sentence, big energy for someone who broke both of her knees earlier. She has come to like how sensitive Eric is, if it wasn't for his tears she would be left for dead right now. She did have a hole on her head after all!

Her laughter became contagious, half of who giggled joined her in laughter as well and those who didn't giggle before started giggling now. The kids were laughing too but they didn't understand half of what the a.d.u.l.ts were talking about and are laughing with a little force of fitting in behind them.

”I like this kid, I don't understand him but I like him.” Expressed Bittore as he calmed down her laughter after over a minute, for some reason Osira's red face made her laugh even harder. Afterwards wanting to crack another joke to bring back the laughter on the wonderful people surrounding her. ”Osira I approve, hit on him!”

Although the jokes are getting out of control, most in this room respect Eric as a person as for those who had different thoughts they were either suspicious or confused. It is generally hard in any time line to find a man who doesn't have double intentions, yet he dug them out of trouble, practically forgave them for all this nonsense even though not spoken by word, is still helping them yet he has no request in return, rare indeed.

”We're leaving!” She pouted and grabbed Eric by the arm, pulling him out along with her. But it only made the situation worse for these two ”Love Birds”, the crowd behind her burst into laughter.

”Ugh but we didn't show them the jewelry!” He reminded with a loud whisper, they were so excited about it when they got here now they are just shy instead. Osira had it worse here than Eric though even though she doesn't get shy easily nor has problems intercepting a room full of people. She does get moody yes, but that's another case.

”We will show them later, let's just explore more!” Now it feels like she could really make a move here, escaping the scene with the guy everyone sees her cute together with, oh the misunderstandings can be big.

”Ugh... good idea.” He replied while giving a little boost on his step to escape her grip, he doesn't like getting dragged across the room. ”Sorry my mentor caused this much trouble, he likes to mess around a lot! You'll hate him a hit more the more you know him but he is also very sweet.”

”Such a confusing man...” She added in a low tone, but actually meant Eric. Until now he barely let out a few words but at this moment he is talking her ear off, she just put that behind and in some way found it just a bit cute, afterwards wanting to apologise. ”Sorry for all that drama my mother caused, this confused me too. She mostly talks about plans and schemes.”

”I guess she doesn't have anything so scheme about anymore.” Added Eric as a joke, but his little joke actually explained this situation to the most exact detail.

”I think you figured it out quite well there, I've never seen her this happy.” She explained as they subconsciously walked down to the third tunnel. ”Most days she was on her toes, expecting the worse and not getting proper sleep.
