Ruby looked sad as she was about to return to her nest. She had just taken me back to where we had met. She was crying and shedding tears again.I patted her head gently to calm her down. She really did look like a girl who did not want to be separated from her lover.Wait! That doesn't mean she thinks of me as her lover, does it?I shook my head, dismissing my absurd thoughts. Maybe she's acting like this because she thinks I'm her mother."Come and see me when I'm here."She took a few steps back and bowed, just like the first time we said goodbye. Then she flew away and didn't look back.As soon as Ruby left, I opened the gates to Smoky Hollow and returned to my world. I rested for a while before returning to the potion room. I took out all the sneezeweed clover I had brought with me.I spent the whole day in the room and made about 23 bottles of potions. This time, I didn't make many mistakes. The more you practice, the fewer mistakes you make. I even got used to measuring, althou
"I am sorry, Leon. I had to bring Jovian because he knows what we're doing. I didn't want him to get the wrong idea if we didn't bring him," Eren said quietly as I approached him in the kitchen. He was getting us some drinks and snacks."How did he know?" I whispered as I took some of the snacks Eren had brought."Jovian saw us searching the streets for infected people and followed us. At first, he was angry that we didn't involve him. But after I explained it to him, he finally understood."I looked at Jovian, who was busy with his device. No wonder his demeanour was colder than usual. He must be angry with me.Jovian and I followed Eren from behind. Although we walked hand in hand, he didn't speak to me at all, as if he thought I didn't exist. But I didn't really care.I put the snacks on the table near the entrance. There were already some drinks that Eren had brought.Eren gave us the white coats we had to wear in the lab.Eren sat down on the chair in front of the microscope. "I
I could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although I felt as if my entire body had been stung by thousands of wasps, I was finally able to withdraw the electrical energy completely.I quickly returned to where we had parted ways. Jovian was still standing guard, while Eren had not yet returned."I have turned off the electricity that powers this barbed wire fence. You should tell Eren to come back.Jovian immediately contacted Eren on his mobile phone, and a short time later, Eren came in breathless. His hands immediately grabbed Jovian's shoulders while his back was bent. It was clear to see his shoulders moving up and down. It looked like Eren was catching his breath as he calmed down."Where did you find the power source, Leon?" Eren, who had straightened up, asked me."Um... this." I hesitated slightly at Eren's question. "I can't remember.""Forget it! We don't have much time to think about it. The most important thing right now is to get inside."Jovian went first and took an ob
I'm still practicing my ability to draw energy because I feel that this is one of the most important magical abilities. I can't just rely on the energy in my body. I also need to train my ability so that the amount of energy I can hold increases.But despite several hours of practice, the improvement wasn't very noticeable. I was still overwhelmed when a large amount of energy came in.Ruby kept me company, like a dog loyal to its master. While waiting, Ruby would sometimes run around, chasing butterflies as they flew by. When it was tired, it would stand still and watch from behind.Every now and then, I would turn my head towards her and aim a small windball at her. It would squeal with delight as the ball of wind spread out in front of her eyes.I just smiled when I saw how happy Ruby was. Even though its body was so big, it was still like a child. I went back to training after making sure it was still in place.I repeated it a few times because when the incoming energy exceeded my
I felt like I was in a strange room. There, I saw someone locked up in a big cage. I wasn't sure if it was a boy or a girl because I only saw his back. He had long white hair that shone in the light.The person was wearing a long robe, like a typical royal outfit in ancient times, making it even harder for me to tell if it was a boy or a girl.I walked closer, curious about the person inside. But I stopped suddenly as my feet came to rest on the edge of a tall building. I swallowed hard, and it turned out that the huge cage was hanging over a very high cliff. I couldn't imagine what would happen if the cage fell.I continued to stare at this person, hoping that he/she would turn around so that I would no longer be curious about him/her. I also wanted to ask him/her why he/she was there.I was about to open my mouth to ask him/her. But suddenly, a bright light appeared and blinded my eyes. I immediately raised my hand to block the light from hitting my eyes.At that moment, I saw the p
I quickly broke away when we reached the barbed wire fence. I then looked for a quiet place where I could temporarily contain the electrical energy. This time I didn't have too much trouble because I had practiced for a long time in Smoky Hollow."Where have you been?" snapped Jovian when he saw me coming towards them. His face looked annoyed when he saw me."Um... I had to pee and couldn't hold it in, so I went over there to pee."He just giggled and didn't pay much attention to me after that. As for Eren, he continued to stare at me with a raised eyebrow, as if he couldn't believe what I was saying."Ouch!" Eren shouted and immediately pulled his hand away from my shoulder. Jovian suddenly looked at him."What's wrong, Eren?" he asked curiously with a furrowed brow.Eren shook his head. "It's okay, Jo. I accidentally touched the wound on my hand. It still hurts." Eren showed Jovian a blister on his arm. The man was incredulous and just shook his head."Let's get out of here! The ele
After they had completely disappeared, I continued my journey back to Olivia's flat. On the way, I kept thinking about the possibility of who these people were. I was sure they weren't ordinary people.I went straight up to the floor where Olivia's unit was. But when I got out of the lift, I bumped into someone I had seen before. I caught a glimpse of him smiling at me. I just frowned, confused.[He is Orchid Lanston, Master]I turned my head as Newt told me who he was. But I only caught a glimpse before the lift doors closed completely."Ah... yes. He is Orchid Lanston. But why is he here? Maybe he lives in this flat too." I asked as I turned and took another step.There are two apartments on this floor. If he lives here, he's Olivia's neighbour. But if he was just visiting, who was he visiting? Olivia or the person whose flat is in front of Olivia's?I'm already outside Olivia's unit. I deliberately stopped to look at the two rooms opposite each other. Although afterwards I decided
"Why did you end up chasing me?" I still couldn't believe what had just happened. I even felt like it was a dream. We were in the same bed, hugging each other. In fact, Olivia had always clung to me, as if she were afraid to be away from me.I stroked her bare shoulder, which was so smooth and soft. Even her body smells good, making me feel at home when I have to stay like this.No, we don't make love, we just cuddle, because Olivia is still a virgin. Of course, I didn't dare ruin it.I couldn't believe how such a rich and beautiful woman could take care of herself. Even when I was married to Sofia, she was no longer a virgin. But when I tried to insert mine, it was very difficult, and it looked like she was in a lot of pain. I finally stopped trying and put my trousers back on."Because I don't want to lose you, sir." She replied shyly and immediately hid her face in my chest. She was so adorable when she usually looked so stern and fierce.I laughed at her behaviour. She looks more
