Chapter 62 - President (1)

"Aren't you done yet?" Randell called out to Nida as he waited outside her room.

It's already past eight, and they're going to be late to work.

Randell was cleaning the dishes from breakfast when Nida panicked and ran inside her room, shutting herself away.

Nida felt weird sensations before her dust went crazy.

"Wait!! My fucking dust is misbehaving! " Nida shouted as she tried to calm her dust that was almost filling up her room.

She doesn't know what's going on, but her dust is uncontrollably going out of her body.

She doesn't feel strange, and she's not in pain either; it is just her dust going off on its own.

Randell just waited outside her room because there was nothing he could do since he was not a priest.

He just kept his stance so that he could come to Nida anytime if something unexpected happened.

"Call sir Daniel! He will surely know what to do!"

Of course, there was no one else on whom Nida could rely for divine powers besides the dark priest."

"Do you have your phone there?" He shouted even though both of them were just one wall apart.

"Yes, I have! I am calling him now, but he is taking his time to answer!"

The dust was making a loud vacuum noise that made the two communicate in a loud voice.

"Ha! Finally, you picked up the phone! " Nida shouted to the person on the other side of the call.

"I was driving. What's up? " Daniel answered reluctantly. 

Even though Nida could not see Daniel she could tell the looks of Daniel's face while answering her call.

He is frowning too much.

"My dust is going off uncontrollably!"

"Shut your vacuum off first!" Daniel exclaimed, as the noise was getting on his nerves.

"It's not a vacuum sound! I came from the dust! How can I calm this?"

Nida heard him click his tongue before going back to their topic.

"What did you do before that happened?"

"Nothing, eat breakfast, shower, and prepare to leave for work."

"How about last night, what did you do?"

"Huh? Why do you have to know what I did? Can't you just tell me how to undo this? "

Nida doesn't want to tell Daniel that she and Randell have started dating again.

She was so happy on her date yesterday that she didn't let Randell go home and let him stay at her apartment instead.

Of course, they only slept in a separate room and nothing else happened.

Nida is smart enough to know how awkward she is, but not smart enough to know how not to be awkward.

"Our power depends on our physical and mental stability. I am asking because maybe you did something that triggered your emotions or physical body or what?"

Inreality, Daniel asks her about her activities because he is guessing that Nida might have done something troublesome again.

"Just tell me what to do, whatever the case is" 

She urges him to tell her to hurry and tell her the solution since the amount of dust getting out of hand keeps increasing.

"Pray." Daniel responded dryly. 

"Pray?" Nida's eyes were wide open to the absurd thing she heard.

"Yes."

"Are you being sarcastic?"

She can't believe what Daniel suggested she do.

"I'm not. I don't know any other way. I always pray every time my powers go off uncontrolled. We are priests after all. "

"How do you even pray?"

"Haven't you prayed at least once in your life?"

"I did, but can I pray to other gods?"

Nida stubbornly thought that if she were forced to pray, then she would choose another god instead.

"I know you hate your God, but you need to learn how to accept her."

"That's ridiculous," she honestly responded.

"I know."

"Hmm, Whatever, I'll just figure out another way, but you sound soulless. Are you fine? "

She asked because she noticed that even though Daniel was responding well, he sounded upset. 

"Oh, first time?"

"First time?"

"It's the first time you're checking up on others."

"What do you think of me? A very selfish person? "

"Sort of."

"Your funny."

"Anyway, good luck with your dust."

tot toot tooot tot

The call was ended before Nida could speak again.

She stared at her phone and plan to check on Daniel later.

The thing she needs to deal with first is her dust.

Although normal humans cannot see her dust, it will still inconvenience her if she just lets the dust alone and goes off. Her work will surely be affected by this.

"Hey everyone, I don't know why you are all getting out of control, but if your goal is to make me contact the Wolf God, I'm sorry, but I would never do that. "

The dust has now filled up the room, so the only thing poking out of it is Nida's head.

She let out a long sigh and closed her eyes.

She breathes in and out slowly, trying to meditate instead of praying.

I need to be calm.

She convinces herself to be calm and at ease and hopes it will calm the dust.

But it was useless.

Knock, knock, knock

A gentle knock could be heard outside of her window. That made Nida become wary because no normal being would knock on her window, especially since her room is located on the fourth floor.

She looked at her closed door and wanted to ask Randell for assistance, but she was afraid that her dust would affect Randell instead.

That is why she went swimming in her dust and tried to look out of her closed glass window.

"Hmmmmn, a kid?"

She is not entirely perplexed by the sudden appearance of a child knocking on her window while levitating. What else could shock Nida after all the things she experienced?

"A kindergarten student?" she mumbled as she observed the stranger outside her window.

The little peculiar child is wearing a kindergarte student's uniform and her eyes are bloodshot as if she just stopped crying.

"What do you need?" She asked in a normal tone, but the kid outside clearly heard her.

Nida wonders what the child race is because it seems she has a superior hearing.

"Let's talk! you-" The child stopped her statement midway after she finally noticed the swarm of silver dust that was filling Nida's room.

She backed away as if she was frightened, then ran away when Nida was about to open the window.

"What was that?" she wonders while she is still holding the window handle. She was actually not planning to open the window. She just held onto the handle because her dust was pushing her out of balance.

"Hmm?"

Surprisingly, her dust calms down after the child disappears.

"Ranz, you can now enter." She gently called him with a low voice, but Randell heard him clearly and entered her room.

"Do you sense the child that knocked on my window?" She sat on her window sill and looked in the direction where the child was running away.

"That was Wendell's child." Randell could tell the child's identity from the scent that she left behind.

The child is still a pup that can not fully hide her scent.

"The president? Is it okay to let a pup run around the street alone? "

"No, it is not. Can I run after her? "

"Sure, why not?"

"Can you go to work alone?" he asked worriedly.

"Of course, I can. What do you expect from me? " Nida laughed at Randell's worries as she opened her window to let in fresh air.

The dust suffocates her and exhausts her too early in the morning.

"Okay, then take care on your way. "

"Ah!"

Randell was about to kiss her on her cheeks, but she backed away out of reflex.

"I-I, I didn't mean to avoid you!" She pecked at his lips as an apology.

"I was not yet used to this. That is why my body moves out of reflex." She awkwardly explains as she avoids Randell's gaze that is glued to her.

Randell just smiled and didn't look upset at all.

"It's okay, take your time."

He pecked on her lips as well, then humped out of the window and ran with his superhuman speed to follow the little girl.

Nida just stared blankly at the space while touching her lips.

"What should I be doing with my time?"

She asked herself, remembering Randell's words.

They just started dating last night, and Randell's sweetness never changed.

It was the same with the care and sweetness she received when she was dating him ten years ago.

"Is he talking about how awkward I am?"

Unlike Randell, who acts naturally towards her, Nida has been acting weirdly and awkwardly because she can't remember how to date.

The sweetness in her body must have left her with only sarcasm and awkwardness left.

She snapped out of her own thoughts when she noticed the time.

"Shit! Manager Bungal will be angry at me again! " She hurriedly picked up her things and ran out of her apartment to commute to work.
