Chapter 262: Sense of Crisis
Chapter 262: Sense of Crisis
The two of them were soon forced to temporarily separate, as Mira was surrounded by a group of girls, all of them were gossiping.
Lode held the bouquet of white roses, finding it difficult to join in.
Rachelle was the main force among them: "Although I was very moved just now, weren't you two already dating?"
"It's different, we officially started dating today," Mira touched her own cheek, feeling the warmth on her face. "Yes, you can count it from yesterday too."
"Ah~~ What happened yesterday? How far did it progress? Just a hug? Or did you kiss?"
Mira smiled and said, "That's a secret."
"Tell us, Mira~"
"Alright!"
"Who is pursuing who here?"
The girls were almost driven mad with curiosity, bombarding Mira with questions.
After the initial shyness, Mira quickly reverted to her usual gentle and approachable demeanor.
Under their persistent questioning, Mira calmly began recounting her gradually growing feelings for Lode.
The boys were also very curious about how Lode managed to win Mira over.
Each person had their own understanding. For example, Alzak thought it was because Lode was outstanding and understood the intricacies of a girl's heart.
Jett and Troy thought it was because of the constant companionship and care over time.
Makus was a bit more direct, simply putting his arm around Lode's shoulders, pulling him down to chat, thinking of what to ask.
At first, Lode thought Makus was just gossiping, but as they continued chatting, the topic shifted to Volyan's embarrassing stories, and they even changed the chat partner.
Lode then realized that this person was purely excited about the new topic, and because of the excitement, he wanted to chat, and because he could chat, he felt even more excited.
Niuqun had two lines to say:
"Only chatting, who knows what we're chatting about."
"Just chatting, who knows who we're chatting with."
Makus was such a person when he got excited.
There were still many people who directly gave Lode a death stare.
Lode pretended to sniff the the bouquet, then dramatically showed them: "Not attractive? Girlfriend sent it."
"Disgusting!"
"Bring a beer! No, a bucket!"
"Drink, drink!"
Krof and Niki, these two people, were not bothered by the commotion, went to find Elfman:
"Elfman, didn't you say that those who can't beat you aren't allowed to get close to your sister? Quickly use the Beast King's soul to give him a taste of his own power!"
"But today, it's sister who's getting close to him."
Thinking about how his sister had shown her Satan's soul a few days ago, Elfman was so moved he almost cried.
Sister is finally back! Not only was Mira looking forward to Elfman coming out, but Elfman also hoped that his sister could let go of her burdens.
"Sister, you're a true man!" Elfman actually burst into tears.
Now it's all good, sister is pursuing her own happiness!
When Elfman spoke, mentioning the word 'man,' everyone generally ignored it, but the previous sentence had already drained Krof of his energy.
But Niki still wanted to struggle: "What's the point, in the end, it's still about dating Mira, and we need to see if he's strong enough."
Elfman refused: "If you want to, then go ahead."
Fighting with Lode, what's the fun in it? Losing means getting beaten by Lode, winning might mean getting hit by sister.
Anyway, Elfman didn't want to fight with Lode in the short term.
He thought for a moment, suddenly remembering that he had planned to go out to work today. He got up to check the bulletin board.
Krof and Niki exchanged a glance. "Should we go and fight Lode?"
"Better to try turning into a goose again."
...
The enthusiastic atmosphere finally calmed down, but various glances were still frequently directed at the two of them.
Although they had officially started dating in front of everyone, not much had really changed.
They just stood closer to each other while doing their clerical work.
Sometimes, when Lode got tired of writing, he would secretly catch Mira's small hand under the counter and gently rub it.
Mira mostly enjoyed this kind of contact, but occasionally she would play a trick, like suddenly changing her hand into a Satan's Hand and squeezing him hard.
Lode would then change his hand into something else, and Mira could switch to a Hutsuli Hand...
Lode suddenly felt that his current relationship with Mira was similar to those young couples in high school who would secretly hold hands during class.
Was this making up for some of the regrets of youth?
After playing enough of the hand-changing game, they would tacitly return their hands to normal, holding them in a simple, ordinary way, feeling each other's warmth.
However, a strange sense of crisis arose in Lode's heart. Given the current disparity in magic and strength, Lode was at a clear disadvantage.
If things continued like this, he might end up being the one pinned down by Mira in the future.
Although Mira was usually gentle and had recently often shown a shy and weak side, today's events proved that she could be quite assertive when necessary.
This was something he needed to guard against.
The Fairy Strategist devised a comprehensive training plan for himself, but he first needed to assess Mira's current strength.
He had another reason to work hard, though it was a bit strange.
"Sister, I want this mission."
"Let me see." Mira put down her pen and picked up the mission sheet. "You have to go so far? Alone?"
"Yep, it's a man's trial!" Elfman believed he needed more training. "I'll be gone for a few days, but don't worry."
Lode saw the title and, with his left hand, pulled out a few documents from under the counter to read carefully.
"Mark these." Lode pushed the documents to Mira and asked her to draw lines with her pen.
Mira glared at him. "What about your hand?"
Lode met her gaze calmly. "Don't you know?"
Shoulder to shoulder, Mira still drew lines in the places he pointed out.
"Memorize these, and be more careful when you go out. Also, you've only been using your Beast King Soul for a few days, so remember to gauge your magic properly."
Lode talked on and on, and finally suggested that Elfman pick out a magic book from the warehouse.
Elfman hesitated for a moment but decided to follow Lode's advice. As Lode said, it's better to be prepared.
Before leaving, Mira carefully helped Elfman tidy his clothes and said, "Be careful, don't overexert yourself."
"I know."
Elfman left with the mission sheet, the gentle spring sunlight warming his entire body.
He touched the magic book in his pocket, feeling a sense of security.
Just thinking back to how Lode had carefully instructed him, he felt a bit of a 'kindly' vibe.
He hadn't really noticed before, but now he thought about it, his sister seemed to have a bit of that too.
Elfman fell into self-doubt. Were they treating him as a younger brother or a son?
