“I told you to stop flirting around me, love birds.” Viktor sighed. “Wear your shirt, Kane. You might catch a cold, though I highly doubt that since Arisa was giving body heat.”“Master!” Arisa immediately pushed Kane and took Kane’s shirt from their master then she threw it at Kane.“What’s wrong with you?” Kane mumbled as he was wearing his shirt.Since the seawater and the fishes were back, there was nothing left for them to do over there. Kane started walking away but a child ran to him and the other kids stopped him from leaving.“Is there anything you need?” Kane asked as he crouched down to level himself with the kids.“Thank you!” One child put a necklace made of seashells on his neck.“Take this too!” another child put another necklace made of seashells on him. The other children started giving him the pretty things they own like a smooth pebble, a heart-shaped coral, and even beautiful shells.“Pretty sister, this is for you too! Thank you for helping us evacuate!”The kids
“Are you excited, Kane?” Arisa asked with a wide grin on her face. “Let’s seat beside each other later again, okay? I’ll make you my human pillow one more time.”Kane shook his head as he decided to ignore her. He was starting to regret that he put her head on his shoulder yesterday. He thought that she would be embarrassed because of that. But instead of being embarrassed, she started to tease him even more!He put his cap first before he covered it with his hoodie. He put his duffel bag on his shoulder while he took his master’s duffel bag and carried it.Arisa smiled when he noticed that even the indifferent Kane would take the initiative to serve their master. She was glad when she woke up with her head on his shoulders. Who would have thought that he could be considerate sometimes? He had surprising sides to him and it made her want to tease him.“Let’s go now.” Viktor rode the bus and the two followed.Their master took the seat next to the window and Ari sat in the middle. Kane
Erin watched them walk toward their table and her eyes widen when she realized that they were seated at the table beside them. What a coincidence! After finishing her order, Xander went to the cashier to help her in carrying their food. They both sat at their table and her eyes could not stop glancing over the guy’s direction while they were eating. What are the chances that he could be Kane? She shook her head when she realized how irrational her thoughts were. He only resembled Kane’s voice. Kane was already dead. “Erin, did you gain a new crush?” Eren teased when he noticed his sister sneaking glances at the man seated at the table beside them. Erin ignored her brother and looked at him again. The man had already taken off his cap so his resemblance with Kane was lessened. But his voice was driving her crazy! How come she sounded so much like him? “Master, did you know that Kane had been picking fights with strangers while he was waiting in line?” the girl told the old man whil
“You should have stayed for the interview. Did you know that the people you saved were students of an elite academy in the capital?” Arisa said when she saw Kane walking back towards their bus. She walked along with him while waving to the people whom she helped evacuate. Kane did not feel comfortable with the attention on Arisa so he used his mana to increase his speed while going back to the bus. “Why did you do that? You’re so mean!” Arisa pouted as she sat on the middle seat. “How could you leave me walking alone over there?” “You seem to like the attention so I left you to enjoy it.” Kane leaned his back on the backrest and closed his eyes. He even covered his face with a handkerchief. Though he did not consume a lot of his strength and mana, he felt drained because of all that attention. “Are you tired?” Viktor asked. “Well, you defeated that basilisk so it was understandable.” “The people’s attention was tiring,” he answered his master truthfully, though it was more of a co
“That was rude,” Arisa commented as soon as they were out of their sight. “Do I need to be polite around them?” Kane looked at her blankly. He felt sorry that she was the one receiving the effects of his unstable emotion so he looked away. “Just leave me alone.” “Hey, this is just a piece of friendly advice since you grew up from abroad. Those people were children of influential families. It would do you no good if you get to their bad side so if you don’t want to be polite, then you shouldn’t be rude towards them in the very least.” Arisa sighed when he just clicked his tongue and walked faster. He did not even know that his friends were children of influential families. Was he someone like that too? Kane shook his head. If he was someone from an influential family, he would not be living alone. If he had such a family, Erin would not be the one to know about his secret. He was no longer the Kane that they knew. He was now Kane Silva. He did not need to be friendly toward them. E
Kane was panting as he pulled the dagger from the soil. The sun was already setting when he finished two vast farming lands, but there were four more waiting for him. He dropped his body on the now fertile soil as he tried to catch his breath.“Master said that you should rest for now.” Arisa handed him a bottle of water. “You looked so tired.”She laughed as she offered her hand to help him sit up. She sat beside him as the guy downed the water in just one go.“Want to have some more?” She asked as soon as he finished and closed the cap of the now empty bottle.“No, thanks. I’m good.” Kane stood up and it was his turn to offer his hand and help her up. He walked ahead of her as soon as she stood so Arisa laughed.“Kane, Arisa! Join us for dinner,” Xander invited them when he saw the two walking back from the farming lands.“You can eat first, I need to replenish my mana,” Kane told Arisa as he walked past Xander and Erin who watched him pass by with a curious and confused expression.
“Hi, sorry for the intrusion.” Arisa laughed as she entered the room. Her bag was on her shoulder and she was already wearing her pajamas when she arrived.“No, don’t say that. I was actually glad that you agree to share this room with me. I don’t think I would be at peace in an unfamiliar place with no one to be with.”Arisa looked at Erin with admiration. She did not know that someone as influential as her could be bothered by being alone in an unfamiliar place.“I’m used to having someone stay with me in unfamiliar places.” Erin smiled shyly. “Every time our family goes on a vacation, my youngest brother would always go to my room and ask if he could sleep with me. Since then, I always have him stay by my side.”“How old was your brother?”“He’s thirteen now.” Erin laughed. “Funny, right? Soon enough, he’ll stop sleeping with me on our vacation trips because he would be an adult by then.”“You must really love your brothers.” Arisa smiled. “I think we’re similar in that way. I love
Kane’s popularity rose after that night and girls started flocking around him despite his indifferent personality. It was the same for Arisa, but she was fortunate because the men from the university were not the type to chase after someone they admired.“Kane, are you going to the barren lands to purify them again today?” A girl asked as soon as he was out of the village chief’s house.He just looked at the girl with a blank expression before he walked past her. Why would he waste his time talking to those people who only noticed him after making an achievement? They were worse than those other girls who noticed him for his looks.“Are you sure you want to ignore them? Those girls were pretty and you won’t be able to find someone as pretty as them in the southwest region,” Arisa teased him while wiggling her brows.“Then why don’t you mingle with them yourself?” Kane looked at her with one of hi
