Lucky 403
In the end, Calix took the crying woman back to his apartment. He sighed, he just came out of the building yet he returned again with a woman in his arms.
Even the students looked at him and Oni who was sniffing and wiping her tears.
"I- I'm sorry. I'm just too emotional, please forgive me."
She was embarrassed when she realized that she hugged Calix and stopped him from beating her roommate's boyfriend.
"It's alright. You don't have to feel sorry."
Calix gave her a glass of water and Oni Chichi drank it in one.
"So what's your plan? You don't have any place to live."
"I'll find a cheap motel to stay the night."
"You don't have any cash."
"T- then, maybe I will sleep in a capsule bed."
"There's a capsule bed hotel in Horvart University?"
Calix never experienced sleeping in a capsule bed. He was quite interested.
'But capsule bed is not for people who have claustrophobia.'
"I can lend you some cash here. You can return it to me once you have money."
"No, I believe I can handle it. Besides, you already paid for my breakfast. Thank you."
Oni Chichi never wanted to be indebted to Calix. Or else she would lose her mind and further fall into him. Even right now, she was keeping her sanity. Both of them were in the apartment, a place with four walls.
A man and a woman inside a room, things might go to one another.
"I see." He nodded and didn't force her.
To be honest, Calix was in bad mood right now. It was disappointing that Oni Chichi didn't agree to any of his goodwill, as if she was avoiding feeling indebted.
"Berto... I can't believe that you will grow tall and handsome. You look like a man!"
Berto Alb was a thin weak guy when Sana met him. He was suffering from nightmares and he always had dark circles around his eyes. He looked like a living zombie back then.
"Aunt, answer my question first."
His past was something that he didn't want to rekindle. If not for Principal Lycan, perhaps he was still a timid man who was suffering from constant nightmares.
"Okay fine. I was almost killed by the Council of Torment. Using my power, I decided to leech on the DemiGod named Medu--"
"Wait a minute, what did you say? You're almost killed by the Council of Torment? What are you doing these whole years that we didn't see you?"
It was too much information for Berto. He never expected that his Aunt was connected to the Council of Torment. Perhaps his Aunt was indeed a criminal and angered the Council in the process.
"Excuse me? I'm living my life, happily."
She glared.
"You have to listen to me first before you judge me, okay?"
"I'm sorry, I thought you were living a dangerous life." He apologized.
"I'm an amusement park owner. I have, well, I had an amusement park in Port of Aoneon. I was living my life well, receiving gifts, and selling my powers to rich people. However, one day, my Term Attribute gave me a premonition that a group of bad guys will do something bad to me."
"..."
Quite unbelievable, but Berto decided to listen.
"I decided to escape before they can reach me. I was almost caught because they came quickly. Fortunately, I escaped from their grasp. Since then, I lived a hard life. I used my remaining diamonds just to find Medu. In the end, I never expected that the banquet will be dangerous. I never thought that I will see you as well."
"... Do you really expect that I will believe you? That's like a Bourne Identity movies kind of plot." Berto frowned.
"Damn it. If you don't want to believe me, so be it. I don't care anyway."
She gritted her teeth in anger.
"You're an ungrateful brat! I gave you candies when you are young! Yet look what you did to me?"
"Well, I still remember that. Thanks, I guess."
He was embarrassed because his Aunt was really good to him and Clara. In fact, they prefer Sana over their own mother... Ahem.
