Chapter 230 - not again, Not Again, NOT AGAIN!
"Good grief! Ester, Y-You really are... geez!"
"La, Lana-sama. Please forgive me"
"You truly haven't yet realized, Ester! It is never good to defeat your opponent too early no matter how easy they are to handle! You have to have more fun!"Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com
To no one's surprise, Lana puffs her cheeks in anger and scolds Ester right after the boss monster abruptly sank into the sea of effect.
Her angry face was cute to be honest, making me warm and fluffy albeit it wasn't the same for Ester who was having a troubled face facing her. Is this the so-called gap?
The boss battle ended in no time. I think it didn't even take a minute from the beginning of battle to sort it out? Well, that's a normal thing to happen when using <Princess's knight awakening>.
The exhilarating feeling of defeating the boss by outbursting all your mana saved precisely for this moment really feels good. I, too, have
done that many times in the game.
Albeit one has to be careful regarding this and take down the opponent in timeframe of outburst lest the situation devolve into something messy where they have completely used up their MP and opponent with its aggro meter at its finest is then facing you......
While I was thinking of that, I suddenly noticed Lana looking at me with an expectant expression. What, what did I miss? Why is she suddenly looking at me like that?
"Hey-hey Zephyr. Just one more boss battle, please. Let's re-pop, okay?"
The way Lana pleaded completely shot down my heart. I clench my teeth tightly to suppress the urge of almost putting my hand on my chest and stop myself from letting out a groan.
Guh. What a way to do it, Lana. She may think it was rather normal, but it was a one-shot skill move to me and no matter what she has to say, I would fulfill.
It's just that there are also some requests I am unable to fulfill.
"Uh, It's unfortunate but field bosses can't re-pop, Lana."
A groan slipped out of my mouth but I somehow managed to convey it.
After we return to the Intermediate dungeon gate, I along with the other two see off Lana and Ester who said they are going back to the aristocratic dormitory for that day.
Hannah also parted there, apparently she has to fulfill alchemy quota or something, which only leaves behind me and Sierra in the end.
"I'm a bit worried. I hope Lana-dono didn't brood over this topic for long"
"Hmm, she is like a child who has been deprived of fun. No wait, she's still child, I forgot"
"Aren't you the same? Can you say you would be able to keep your calm if you're also deprived of fun?"
"Umm, sounds impossible"
"See, you're not any different either"
Alas, I couldn't refute Sierra's words.
I thought Lana was exaggerating with her reaction but it doesn't sound funny anymore imagining if it had happened to me.
Ester isn't the one to blame who gave her best, it's just her timing was bad.
"I hope they reconcile soon. I don't want to see them breaking up"
"I, too, hope so. It should be fine I think, remember, they are also childhood friends"
I was optimistic at this point.
Just like how it was an everyday matter for me to feel depressed and tense at the game. That's why I was thinking they will be depressed for a while and will reconcile soon.
That's what I thought until the night when Ester came to my room.
"Zephyr-dono, please teach me how can I patch up with Lana-sama"
Hey-hey, I'm not omniscient, you know?
