Chapter 26 Rio Havenglow Is Alive

A crimson-haired boy ran toward her before stopping in front of her and said "I forgot something."

"What?" She asked with a puzzled face.

She saw his face coming closer to hers which caused her heartbeat to beat faster. She closed her eyes as he kept getting closer.

A hand wrapped around her alluring body as she found herself enveloped in a warm embrace. She could feel his hot breath on her neck as he hugged her.

Rio hugged her as it filled both their body and mind with serenity. They were both resonating with a moment of bliss.

They stayed like that for a few seconds as if not wanting to part away before a whisper sounded in Lia's ears.

"This." Saying that he ran back towards the capsule before closing the door.

​ Lia was frozen happy in her place while she looked dazed.

She never thought he would be courageous enough to do this although she wanted to do the same but it was a man's duty to take the charge even in her world.

A few seconds later, the capsule opened and there was nobody inside.

Lia sighed and started walking towards the villa which now felt empty without that human boy who had become an important part of her life.

Blinding white light faded, and he was in front of a silver-painted door.

The feeling of getting teleported made him feel a little nauseous. He couldn't get used to it while using it only twice.

The Portal capsule door opened and he walked out of the portal.

The two guards at the entrance of the gate were different from the ones he saw when he first used the portal.

He walked out of the portal room and saw it was night outside.

'No wonder guards are different. It's nighttime here. I should report first to the school office about my return.'

The Moonlight glittered on his silhouette as he started walking towards the school office.

The school campus was expanded into an enormous area. The Portal capsule was situated at the entrance of the school gate but it was inside the campus.

There were trees on both sides of the path he was following. The school office was the first building on the left side. Behind it was a dormitory and on the right side was a shopping area.

He could see senior year students and teachers leaving and entering the shopping area.

He ignored them and went straight to his destination.

In the office, there was a scrawny middle-aged man working on a computer.

His eyes moved towards Rio and he raised his eyebrows seeing an unfamiliar person at the late hour coming to the office.

The crimson-haired boy looked to be a first-second-year student by his appearance. Since he never saw this boy coming to the office. He guessed that he was either from another school or a new student.

"I came to report about my shelter in the land of asura," Rio said.

"Isn't it too late? What were you doing for so long?" The middle-aged man asked.

"I was teleported to an unoccupied shelter. It was surrounded by a snowy mountain. I went to look for places around the shelter but then when I came back I saw a beast near the portal. I hid in the storage room and waited for the beast to leave but it didn't leave until today." He said with a bittersweet smile and scratched the back of his head.

"Where did you find the food?" The middle-aged man asked with a doubtful gaze.

"Storage room had an emergency food supply. Due to the shelter being located on a snowy mountain, food didn't spoil much and it was edible." He said with a nonchalant voice.

The middle-aged man felt pity for him. He said, "It was unfortunate, kid. At least you weren't teleported to Asuras and you came back alive. There are still 11 students missing who didn't come back. Show me your student ID so I can update your information in the school database."

'Who said I wasn't teleported to the Asuras? Oh, wait… where is my student ID?'

Rio patted both of his pant side pockets hurriedly to see if they were still there.

"Found it, it's here." He delighted inwardly and took out from the left one.

He saw they had marks of being washed in water but the school ID was made of waterproof material so it wasn't ruined.

"Here," He showed it to the middle-aged man while thinking "It probably got washed along with my clothes when Lia made me bathe for the first time."

The middle-aged man's face changed after reading the surname on the school ID.

"I updated your information in the school database." He said it while hiding his surprised expression from the boy.

"Okay, thanks. I'll go now." Saying that Rio started moving towards the door to leave.

The middle-aged man dialed a number after confirming Rio left the place and couldn't hear him.

After a few seconds, someone received his phone call.

The middle-aged man spoke, "Inform the Madame, Rio Havenglow is alive and he has returned."
