"Why are you looking at me like that? What? Did you fall for my beauty? Although I can understand it since I'm really attractive however I'm sorry but you are far too young for me."
Snow suddenly receives a rejection from his supposed lover without even uttering a confession which causes his lip to twitch nonstop.
Particularly when Snow heard such narcissist words before quickly feeling a bit of relief (?) and disappointment (?) that he was now a kid in appearance so there is time for him to observe and interact with the person that has now become his potential lover.
Although, Snow was a bit doubtful about why this person can only hear a tiny sound coming from the small black bell. Did something happen in the third and fourth world he travels before that causes the effect of the small black bell to be a bit broken?
Nevertheless, Snow has quickly taken notice of it while deciding to know the stored memories from the other two worlds he didn't see later in order to understand the whole situation.
For now, though, Snow has decided to take a step back while telling the blonde man that it's his turned to beat the person up which the man has happily done while forgetting the question he has asked a while ago.
"Damn, because of those two guys who just gotten famous a month ago that you want me to die? And did you think I even care about being top or not? Fuck, unlike that amazing couple, I don't need a dark halfling or even light halfling to make me stronger!"
"Urgh…"
Snow has sat in the ground while watching in great interest as the blonde man continues to ruthlessly beat the weak young man in the ground before suddenly taking out one of the red apples in the green jade bracelet on his other wrist and began to eat the fruit in great relish.
"Brother Claude, how about you break his two important private parts down there…"
"...!"
Suddenly Snow that has opened his mouth to bite on the delicious red apply has shown his adorable two canines teeth when he smiles sweetly before blinking his murky brown eyes when the blonde man sky blue eyes filled with surprise has gazed at his direction in utter delight along with acceptance before quickly following his advice in pleasure.
Crack.
"...damn…"
"... ouch…"
Arnold and Lisette have winced after the pitiful young man has let out a loud heartbreaking howl before fainting with a white froth on his mouth before quickly shooting horror-filled eyes to the two people that seemed to have suddenly think the same.
"Eh? Noel, what are you eating? Fruit with aura on it??? Wait... Isn't that supposed to be mine so I'll cook for you?"
Crunch
Snow has just blink his eyes in an adorable manner while chewing the delicious and juicy bits of the red apple in his mouth, soon a new red apple has swiftly appeared in his other hand before giving it to the surprise blonde man.
"Brother Claude, I got more, so here and eat some. It tastes great."
As for the other people, Snow has completely disregard them since he was more focused at his blonde chef and future lover, wanting to understand what has gotten his previous self so attach to the point of approving this person to be his lover for eternity.
"Hmm… it seemed you got a lot of ingredients when you were gone huh."
Claude that was quickly pacified by the adorable young kid action has quickly left the foaming young man in the ground and reaching over to take the red apple before swiftly taking the young kid in his arms as he sat down in the ground without a care in the world.
"Well, besides the first bad impression, I don't mind cooking food for you, rather than the annoying people I know, there isn't anything wrong if you become my other partner too."
"...?"
Snow that was now in the arms of the blonde man has almost let go of the red apple on his hands before wanting to struggle and hitting the brazen blonde man only to halt when he suddenly felt the unexpected inclination of their opposite power that appeared to intertwined when they have gotten closer with each other.
"Hehehe, you just figure it out? It seemed the I don't loathe your dark power, which is unusual since I even hate other halfling light power."
Suddenly, Snow felt a gentle pat on his head along with a delighted chuckle causing his ears to be itchy with how low and magnetism the blonde man voice has sounded out while the two other people that have been with them have let out a surprise and happy gasp because of what they heard.
"This Big Brother will take care of you, so come now, call me Brother Claude in an adorable voice, after all, base by your age, there is no way I will introduce you as my future lover right?"
Snow wanted to roll his eyes at those words although he couldn't help but melt in the arms of the blonde man with his brown murky eyes narrowing in pleasure and comfort as the light power that he could feel after touching the man was completely giving him great satisfaction that no one else can easily do.
"Weird Uncle."
"...! Bald Brat!"
Although the two of them banter while calling rude names with each other, nonetheless, Snow was completely content being hug in the warm presence of the blonde man while in the distance, Arnold, and Lisetteseemed to have finally released a heavy burden after witnessing such a warm scene.
Usually, a halfling will feel comfort and at ease to another halfling causing the two of them to become a lover in their entire life because of the high affinity with each other power, although an opposite halfling falling with each other rarely happen but it wasn't impossible.
Just like what the person who almost killed them has mentioned before.
However, their friend was completely different, Claude loathes all the halfling he met so far, his light power just dislikes other people power, even Lisette and Arnold could tell that they are being like only because of them growing up together which has just cause Claude to have gotten used in their presence, so the two of them is alright staying by his side.
It is also the reason why Claude prefers normal human to serve with his food rather than the people in their organization, that is just how much Claude dislike other people, if he could, their friend would definitely have hidden to a remote place, away from everything.
It just too bad since Claude was born in an influential family and couldn't hide just like that even though their friend could do it but Claude still retains some respect for his family.
Claude has been by himself for twenty-six years, even though he got a family but he rarely goes home and prefers to stay cope up cooking or baking in his cafe, however, right now, Lisette and Arnold felt so happy to see that their friend has finally found a partner!
Although it wasn't a lover partner since Noel is far too young for that so being brother and like a family is also great for the two of them.
"Oh, I some animal too, so Weird Uncle please cook some food, I am hungry."
Snow completely ignored the blonde man's complaint before he started to seriously check which dead animals should he take out in order for his sudden partner to cook, however, it seemed that another situation was happening because a sudden crack in space has abruptly appeared before them.
Although it wasn't the crack in the Fallen dimension, it just the random space that usually happens in the special forest, which soon has spat out a random group of people that has been traveling around the forest.
"Oh, it's those two…"
Snow murky brown eyes has quickly turned deeper before a flash of red light appeared within it before it disappeared as quickly as it came after seeing two familiar figure in the group of people that have appeared from the crack of space.
Crunch…
Crunch…
Crunch…
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Snow that has quickly eaten the remaining red apple in a noisy manner has felt the tightening of the blonde man arms around his body, appearing to have been able to senses his bad mood.
"Well, Brother Claude, I don't remember much about how I got in this place and my memories are missing but the last thing I remember is being bullied before… it seemed that those two people there was the one who has done it."
Snow doesn't have any fear of being caught as a half-fallen while he points to Brian and Ange figure in the distance since the pure race mission has completed eliminating any chance of causing anyone from sensing the vile aura within it unless he was the one who uses it.
And while the reason why Snow has revealed that situation and never change his name, well, the client has just shrunk while changing his hair and eye color, nonetheless, his appearance and features were the same.
"...Noel!"
See? Snow was quickly recognized by the two young men that appeared to have seen a ghost with just how fearful the expression on their faces is while gazing at him with horror-filled eyes.
"Big Brother… I'm scared…"
