Chapter 180 - 180 Best Friend

180 Best Friend

Kyle looked at Kate deeply.

He wanted to lock her away, far away from the gaze of other people. That way, no one will be able to covet her.

But he couldn’t do it.

She wouldn’t be happy with his action.

Kyle took a deep breath and messed up Kate’s hair. Even though he knew that his thoughts were dark and dirty, he didn’t want to let this little cat stay away from him. He just wanted her to stay by his side forever.

“I know.”

“So...” Kate looked at Kyle carefully. She was not that sharp, but she could guess that he was not in the best mood right now. “Don’t be angry anymore?”

Kyle looked at Kate deeply and then nodded. “I’m not angry. I don’t want you to go with the others.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll return here after I finished.” Kate grinned.

.....

Kyle watched Kate smiled brightly.

Even though she was only a little kid right now, he felt that he could see her adult form behind her, smiling brightly towards him. It was the kind of light that he felt to be so warm and usually far away from him.

She had always been standing in the light with people loving her and she took care of them. He coveted her, but there were also many others who loved her. So, he couldn’t possibly just lock her away.

Those who loved her wouldn’t like it.

She wouldn’t like it either.

Even though he wanted to lock her away, he pushed down those thoughts because he didn’t want to push her away from him.

“Let’s eat dinner.”

“Ok!”

Kate’s eyes widened.

“Ah, there she is.” Kate’s Mother smiled. “Your friend is here to see you, Kate.”

Kate looked at Lucy and Lucy was also looking at Kate. On Lucy’s face, there were definitely the word of ‘disbelief’ written so clearly. There was no way that she would be able to believe that her best friend had somehow turned into a little kid in front of her.

Looking at Kate up and down, Lucy felt that her eyes were playing tricks with her. But even after rubbing her eyes a few times, the sight she saw was still the same little kid.

Kate watched Lucy’s reaction and also felt helpless about it.

There was nothing that she could do about it.

This form of hers was definitely hard to believe for most people. After all, even if the world had changed and these giant mutated animals, no one would think that it was possible for an adult to return to be a child.

Such thing hadn’t happened before.

Except in the stories....

*cough*

At the same time, Kate felt a bit conflicted. She didn’t actually want a lot of people to know that she had turned into a child. After all, it was still a rare thing that definitely would not occur to many people in their entire life.

Even seeing it would be difficult.

But Lucy was someone that Kate could trust. The two of them had been friends for a long time and had already experienced many things together.

This much should be fine.

“That’s... Kate?”

“Yes, she’s Kate. What’s wrong Lucy?” Kate’s Mother asked in a concerned tone.

Lucy forced a smile out. “I think... I need some time to digest this news.”

She really felt that the world was getting stranger and stranger. After those giant mutated animals appeared, she really couldn’t see things in the same way anymore. It was as if everything she knew was slowly being subverted.

But she had to accept it.

Because this is her reality now.
