"Isn't your intelligence stat kinda low?"
[Perhaps it is compensation for my higher agility stat.]
"When you put it that way, it kind of makes a bit of sense, I guess?"
Evan shrugged his shoulders before turning his gaze towards the sky and calling out.
'Artemisia, you there?'
|The goddess 'Artemisia' is currently unavailable. Please try again later. |
"What is this, a cell phone service?"
[Huh?]
"Never mind."
Just as the boy let out a light yawn and was considering going to bed, the room door opened and in walked the familiar blonde-haired girl who Evan had recently entered a relationship with.
"Great, you're still awake."
"And you're still dressed like you're tempting me."
Eliza stopped in her tracks, raising the pillow she was holding in her hands and looking down at her appearance before turning back to Evan and replying.
"It's just a sleeveless shirt and casual shorts, I'm even wearing a jacket on top.
What's tempting about that?"
"Huh? That's it?
Not gonna lie, I just said that without even looking in your direction."
The girl's brow twitched in annoyance when she heard his words, stomping over to where he was angrily and smacking the back of his head with her pillow.
"Ow. That-"
"-didn't hurt."
The girl completed the sentence before saying hello to Kuro, who responded to her greeting before finishing the carton of milk in his hands and jumping into the shadow of the chair he was seating on.
"Where did he go?"
"I'm as lost as you are."
Evan replied to Eliza as he stood up and abruptly picked her up princess carry style, closing the door behind him as he walked to the bed and laid her on it.
"Wai-!"
She didn't even get to finish her words as Evan abruptly planted a kiss on her lips, one that transitioned from a light peck on the lips to some tongue action really quickly.
When their lips finally parted to catch their breath, Evan stared at the breathless girl beneath him, running his hand through her locks of golden blonde hair that spread across the sheets like a flowing river of gold.
The sight of her flushed face that was slowly turning redder aroused his desire to tease her but he felt that he might go from there and into something else if he did so he held himself back and just pecked her lips before plopping down on his side right next to her on the bed.
He then turned her body over to the side and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him, resting his torso against her back and entangling his legs with hers.
After a short moment of silence, Eliza finally spoke up.
"…I'm amazed you managed to restrain yourself…"
"Eliza Lane, do you perhaps have no intentions of sleeping tonight?"
"…I would be keeping my mouth shut now."
Eliza made a quick retreat almost instantly, prompting Evan to chuckle lightly as he tightened his hold on her.
'Evan a Master level existence Is bound to get too tired for any 'strenuous' activity after multiple consecutive battles, huh?'
"Come to think of it, we haven't gone on any proper dates in a while."
"We have been busy with undead-related activities during the past three weeks, so it makes sense we haven't had the time."
Eliza replied to Evan's words with a yawn, with the young hero making a suggestion that she totally saw coming right after.
"Should we go on one?
Bultom is operating at more than 100% due to the sheer number of soldiers and adventurers trooping in recently so it's not a bad idea."
"It might not be but it defiantly isn't the best time for this.
Don't try to ruin what you've spent the past few weeks trying to build in one day. There is definitely gonna be a select few 'people' with bullshit to say if they see us going on dates during this crisis."
Hearing her words, Evan clicked his tongue before giving a simple short reply.
"And I should care, why?"
"I'm not saying you should. I'm just saying that dealing with the bullshit is gonna be a lot of stress that we can easily avoid."
"Fine.
But after this, we're definitely gonna go on one."
"Definitely.
Even if you didn't bring it up, I was going to say it anyway."
Eliza's words made Evan's eyes widen slightly, with a small teasing grin appearing on his face as he spoke.
"I'm so looking forward to when you ask me out on a date."
The girl's cheeks reddened slightly, with her coughing awkwardly and abruptly changing the topic.
"Don't go do anything stupid that'd leave you knocked out for weeks like when you fought Xakon, okay?"
"…I would like to promise you that I wouldn't, but I can see myself easily breaking said promise.
I feel that the undead would not be weaker than planned as I had expected.
Like the flesh golem of today that was 50 levels higher. I also have a feeling that Vazgan wouldn't be weaker either.
Gonna have to give the Duke a heads up."
"And how are you going to explain that to him? Why you know the monster's level, I mean."
Hearing Eliza's question, Evan rose a brow in surprise before speaking up in reply.
"Yeah…there's that.
Because it's you and Pride, I'd been talking about it so freely but I guess I'm gonna have to give an explanation if I know their exact levels, huh?
Well, I'd just give them a level range or say 'stronger than they originally planned'.
Or I can just say I got the information from a demonic hand member I captured."
Eliza stretched her arms out with a slight yawn while listening to his words, giving a reply immediately after.
"However, we both know that you didn't get that info from the Demonic Hand."
"Definitely not."
"Was it the goddess?"
"It was and wasn't at the same time."
"The heck?"
Evan chuckled lightly upon hearing her voice of confusion, before flipping her body around and making her face him before staring at her in silence.
"…?"
Seeing the girl tilt her head to the side with a mixture of confusion and curiosity in her eyes, Evan took a deep breath before speaking one compound word
"Earth-V".
"Hmm? What's that?"
"…as I thought, I can actually tell you."
Seeing as Evan was about to sink into his thoughts, Eliza grabbed his cheeks with her hands and asked.
"What's that? Some sort of Earth Magic or something?"
"Earth Magic? Well…it makes sense that that's your first thought.
But 'Earth-V', is not the name of an Earth Magic spell."
"Then what is it?"
Evan had a pensive look on his face for a moment, before grinning mischievously and replying.
"I doubt there'd be an issue if I just told you everything right now, but that's no fun.
How about I put you in a little bit of suspense for a while."
Eliza's brow twitched repeatedly as she screamed out a reply.
"Then why did you tell me about it in the first place?! You made me curious for no reason!"
"That was the point of telling you."
