“Amazing right,” exclaimed Jill, as the E-rank field dungeons and the S-rank dungeon underneath them dissipated as if they were never here in the first place.
“Indeed, it is,” I nodded in response to Jill.
The dissipation of the E-rank field dungeon and the S-rank field dungeon meant that Luna had completed the dungeon relocation. This meant she was no longer feeding the dungeon relocation apparatus with refined soul energy, which meant that the artificial soul energy vein was no more, without the power from the artificial soul energy vein the field dungeons could not sustain by these so they dissipated. Clearing the normal route from Sun blossom city to Sky blossom city.
“Do you need a lift home?” Jill asked as she summoned a dark red-colored hover car, the chariot.
p AndD nOve1.cO,m “No, I have my ride,” I said, summoning my golden-colored NanoMorhper hoverbike.
“So, this is it. We part our ways here, huh,” Jill did not immediately get on her Chariot, she lingered as if she was waiting for me to say something.
“It doesn’t have to be, if you want to, I lend my warehouse to continue your research,” I asked Jill, feeling that she was not ready to part with me yet.
I know with Anna and Susan around, if Jill were added to the mix, it was going to be a recipe for disaster but I too did not want to part with Jill. Though I cannot respond to her feelings for me, she and I had a lot in common, we would make great friends. And since the dungeon relocation was complete I will be leaving for the Southern Royal palace soon until then I could entertain Jill.
“I have expensive cards that can transform into a big ass research base, who wants to borrow your warehouse?” Jill yelled in a fit of rage.
Seeing that the boy knew the words that she wanted to hear but skillfully avoided them, she couldn’t help but get enraged. She was not some dollar whore, whom he could just bang’em and leave’em.
“Okay, then goodbye. See you at Morningstar university,” Jill’s mood swings gave me the conviction to part ways with her. What was I thinking? Jill’s father was right, ‘A body and a girl can never be friends.’
“Take one more step further and I swear to God I will hurt you even if it costs me,” Jill warned. As her menacing aura covered my body. If Jill were to act on it she would be punished accordingly by the world’s will because of the oath between the two of us.
“Jill, honey, we agreed on no feelings purely physical. Remember, you said that. So, don’t do something rash that we both will regret later,” I said, reminding Jill what we agreed upon before getting intimate.
“Yes, I did say that but I changed my mind,” Jill replied nonchalantly as she moved closer to me.
“But, I did not,” I cried out, fearing that Jill was planning on kidnapping me.
“Not my problem,” Jill stood next to me and sniffed me like a pervert.
“Jill, don’t be unreasonable. Let’s part on good terms when we can. The future is not certain, if it is meant to be it will happen you can’t force it. Anything you do now will only make me disgusted towards you. Is that what you want?” I explained to Jill that she could not force a relationship.
I understand where she was coming from, this was the first time in her entire life she had a feeling for the opposite sex, and now seeing that not everything was falling into place like she imagined and wanted them to, Jill decided to take the matter into her own hands.
“I understand,” Jill said as she fixed my collar and added, “You are right, the future is not constant but neither is it on my side. So what do I do?”
“Why worry about something you cannot control? This, here, right now, you can control it, how do you want me to feel about you? You decide and act accordingly,” I explained to Jill to stop worrying about the variable and cherish what she already had.
“You know, for your age you’re wise. Relax, I don’t plan to do anything to you. I just wanted to give you a gift, here take it,” Jill took out a card from her grimoire and handed it to me.
“A-rank, Rare grade, skill card, Equal Exchange?” I read the card’s name out loud.
“It’s a demonic card, so don’t use it unless you have to. My father gave it to me for my protection. Now, I am giving it to you for your protection,” Jill said.
“This is too precious for a gift, I can’t take it,” Politely gave the card back to Jill but she did not take it saying, “You need it more than me. I searched for info on you and found that many powerful people want you dead rather than alive. Apart from that most of your information is restricted. I don’t know what you did to piss those many people off but promise me we will meet at Morningstar university.”
“If that’s the case then I will borrow this card for now and return it to you when we meet at the morning star university,” I did not know what Jill meant when she said I pissed off many powerful people but seeing how she was not going into details I knew that was all she knew or reveal to me. Therefore, I did not bother to ask her who. But thinking about it I said, “Doesn’t the world think that I died? After all, I went through a lot of trouble to pull off a perfect fake death.”
“No, there is no news of you being dead in the file. I don’t know why but I think they have yet to update it. If that is truly the case then I hope you take this opportunity to make some serious decisions,” Jill’s intention could not be more clear. She wanted me to continue to stay dead and only surface when I had the power to protect myself from those that want to harm me.
