Chapter 93- Our Anniversary

A few days passed peacefully in the city. People quickly returned to their normal lives when they realized that the earthquake was simply a weird occurrence and won't happen again.

The school also opened its door and students returned to their classes. The normal days simply resumed as if nothing happened.

Inside Kai's apartement, a beautiful black cat ran around excitedly. Her blue eyes sparkled mesmerizingly as she followed a certain young man around the place.

"Why are you excited?" Kai asked as he looked at his pet with a confused expression. He didn't see her this animated in a while.

"Meow!!" The cat simply jumped and rolled around in response.

"Hm?"

At that moment, Kai wished he could read this weird cat's mind so he can understand what was going through her head.

"I will be leaving now. Don't make a mess." He said calmly as he exited the apartement.

Walking through the street, his hand moved to his phone as he looked at the history of calls he had. The only name present there was Kaya's, showing that he did call her a few times during these previous days.

'She didn't respond... Odd.' Kai's eyes squinted as he recalled what happened the last few days.

After leaving to deal with some kind of 'matter', Kaya didn't come back at all and didn't contact Kai to give him a reason why.

At first, he assumed that she was simply busy considering her position. However, knowing that woman, he was certain she would've called him at least once. No such thing happened and that made Kai slightly suspicious.

'Did she get attacked by the guild?... No, that's very unlikely. Even that man Grey isn't crazy enough to offend Divinity. Did Divinity realize that she knew me? No, that's not possible either. They had no way of knowing my real identity.' Thinking about it, Kai found that there was only one possibility.

Kaya was most likely stuck doing something or in a place where she can't contact him. Whether she was safe or in danger was still something Kai had no way of knowing and that was what kept bugging him for a while.

Ignoring the fact that Kaya was someone Kai considered to be one of the few acquaintances he has, she was also a very key factor in his plan to destroy the Guild. So, if she somehow ends up in trouble, Kai will be stuck in an annoying situation.

'Should I look for her? Or should I wait? Both are equally troublesome.'

Reaching school, Kai entered his class. It was bustling as usual except this time, the reason wasn't the earthquake news as yesterday. Instead, everyone was focused on a certain person sitting next to Kai's seat.

Kai could only shake his head inwardly before walking to his seat. He didn't need to greet Eva because the two have been together for the past few days. The reason for that is that Kai was almost certain Grey would try to ambush Eva if she was to ever be alone.

Their days were pretty simple and calm... Except for one part.

Anyway, the reason for the more than-usual attention she was garnering was her hairstyle. Instead of keeping her hair as it is, draping it over her shoulder, Eva decided to braid a strand of hair with a red rope to tie it at the end.

The change was minimal but when it was applied to someone as beautiful as Eva, it made it very apparent.

"Hm, hm, hm..." The second reason was her, particularly great mood today.

She was smiling as she hummed a song of some kind. When she noticed Kai's presence, her aways wandered toward him for a second before she quickly looked away.

Her behavior was suspicious for the boy but he didn't give it much thought. There were other matters on his head at the moment.

The class started normally, however, during that time, Eva kept staring at Kai for a few seconds before she averts her eyes.

"Sigh... What is it?" Kai murmured as he kept his eyes fixated on the teacher to not raise suspicion.

"Hm? Oh, n-nothing." Eva shook her head.

"You're lying."

"It's really nothing."

"..."

Kai was certain she was lying but since she didn't want to tell him, he didn't try to push her any further. The period passed quietly and lunch finally came.

Walking to his usual spot on the school's building's roof, Kai found Eva waiting for him there. She was standing near the edge, looking at the world around them. Then, when Kai arrived, she turned around and said.

"You're late." nove-lb-1n

"The teacher wanted me to deliver some papers before lunch," Kai replied as he loosened his necktie and sat down next to the wall.

Eva walked toward him and naturally sat next to him.

"Hey, Kai, does today's date ring any bell for you?"

"Hm?" The latter's eyes moved to look at the girl for a second before he looked ahead again.

Kai was very punctual about dates so he quickly tried to remember if he missed something. It wasn't his or Eva's birthday.

"No, why?" He finally gave up and asked.

"Fufufufu~ I knew you wouldn't remember."

Then, Eva stood up and pulled something out of her bag.

"Tada! Today is the tenth anniversary of our first time meeting!" What she pulled out was a beautifully wrapped present.

Kai was confused for a second before he looked at the present and then at Eva. When he thought about it, he did indeed meet Eva for the first time on this day. However, he didn't really keep it in mind as a date he should remember or something to be celebrated.

"I was intending to buy you something expensive. But, then I thought making something myself would be more meaningful than just spending money." Eva explained before she handed the present to Kai.

The latter didn't say a single word which made Eva slightly anxious. The reason for his lack of response, unbeknownst to Eva, was that he didn't know how to respond in the first place.

This was the first present he ever got in his life and that messed with his head. It was a rather odd feeling but he didn't hate it.

"Can I open it?" He finally asked.

"Of course!" Eva's face beamed with happiness.

Finally, Kai pulled the lid up only to find freshly baked cookies tucked inside beautifully.

"I-I tried to cook them myself. But, I don't know if they came out half-good. Now that I look at them, maybe they're burnt." Eva fidgeted around as she started making excuses out of nowhere.

However, Kai didn't reply to her as he simply picked up one of the cookies. Then, under Eva's panicked gaze, he ate it.

"It's... good." He said.

"Really?! Thank god... Fuuh." Exhaling a sigh of relief, Eva's face relaxed as she smiled beautifully.

"I just wanted to say 'Thank you'... For entering my life... For saving me and for simply existing so that I could stay by your side. Thank you so much." Tears welled up in her eyes. "I'm truly glad that I met you, Kai. I hope we can celebrate this day again next year and 50 years later."
