[Wait! You still don't want to go back?]
"That's right, I need to get something important."
[What is so important that you left Velys alone at the Noack mansion?]
"I will go back soon."
[Are you upset?]
"Yes it's because you only ask nonsense questions. I have never seen a system as useless as yours. Besides asking nonsense questions, what else can you do?"
[Ah! Are you doubting my worth? Do you believe that I will tell the Will of the World that you do not need his reward?]
Hikaru: "…"
"Huh! Besides this, what else can you do?"
[Hm?!]
"Okay, I will concede, haizzz."
Then, Hikaru disappeared into the night.
…
At the Noack mansion, Velys was still sitting in the watchtower, guarding and waiting for Hikaru to return.
Apart from the normal JK outfit she was still wearing, she was not wearing any other warm clothing.
After all, Velys possessed the power of the elements of fire and ice, and she was already strong enough to self-regulate the temperature around her body.
Therefore, Velys did not feel cold, on the contrary, she could warm the entire mansion with her fire element.
That's right, inside and outside the mansion, there were fireballs the size of tennis balls floating in the air everywhere.
It helped the place to be lit up like it was day time, so there were no hidden corners. Thus, Velys could observe the entire area around this villa.
"Are you still waiting for him?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Velys. She didn't need to turn her head to realize who the voice was coming from.
Laylah walked up the stairs to the watchtower. Right now, she was only wearing a thin pair of pajamas.
She had become an evolved person anyway, so the low temperature wouldn't affect her too much.
Velys nodded: "How do you know?"
Laylah smiled and said: "Velys, the puddles outside were created by you, right?"
Velys nodded: "That's right. Laylah, you are indeed very smart. Although those puddles are normal, we can observe our surroundings through the reflections on those puddles."
"Moreover those puddles are like ammunition. As long as we want, they will immediately attack intruders who step on them."
Laylah now felt like Velys had turned into a completely different person. She was now extremely cold and calculating .
But when she's with Hikaru, she's like a gentle wife. Or… she could also become a kitten if Hikaru wanted her to.
"Velys… I find it difficult to understand. Why would a wonderful person like you fall in love with Hikaru?" Laylah suddenly asked.
"Am I great?" Velys laughed and said, "If I'm great, it means that I'm great for him."
Layla: "…"
"Do you love him that much? If… the Hikaru you knew was gone, and the Hikaru you love now is a different person and the fact that you fell in love with him was all… arranged by some god?"
"Would that… if what I said was true, would you still love him?"
Velys suddenly turned her head to look at Laylah, she then smiled. Her gaze also seemed to be extremely confident.
"Even if that were true, I will still love him. Laylah, not everyone can be crazy about love."
"If I become insane due to loving him, then I accept it. Laylah, have you ever been crazily in love with someone?"
As Laylah listened to Velys, she was a little startled, suddenly, in her mind, she thought of Alisse.
Then she shook her head again and said, "I have never been, and never will be."
"Hahaha…" Velys suddenly laughed: "That's not certain. I feel like Hikaru is quite fond of you too, but for some reason, he doesn't seem to want to interact with you."
Laylah suddenly frowned: "You… you seem to be smarter than I thought."
"Really? But Hikaru doesn't like girls who are too smart. That's why I have to become an airhead so he'll love me without worrying about anything."
Laylah suddenly felt that Velys didn't seem the same as usual. She seemed even more mysterious than her.
"Are you afraid of me?" Velys suddenly asked.
"No, I just feel that you are very mysterious."
"Laylah… sometimes… Being an airhead is great. Being protected by someone you love is a wonderful feeling. I hope you will experience it too."
Laylah shook her head and sighed, she decided to remain silent. She and Velys sat quietly on the watchtower, none of them spoke, they both just silently observed their surroundings.
"How long have you… been sitting here?" Laylah suddenly asked.
"Hmm…. I've been sitting here since you and Hikaru went out."
"What? It's been at least 12 hours now, don't you feel bored?"
"Hahaha… no."
"You… don't you plan to cook dinner?"
"If Hikaru doesn't come back, you will starve."
Layla: "…"
Laylah felt a terrible headache. It seemed that Velys only had Hikaru in her mind. Everything she did was directed towards him and only for him.
Laylah was confused, she wondered why Velys loved Hikaru so much? Was it because of the existence who Hikaru could not name that Velys blindly fell in love with Hikaru?
Otherwise, Laylah could not find any reason why Velys loved him.
It must be known that, before the apocalypse began, Hikaru was still a young master, he was unable to do anything but go to bars and hang out with his friends.
How could someone like that be loved by Velys?
There was only one explanation: it was arranged by that unmentionable existence.
Laylah sighed, perhaps her fate was also arranged by that existence.
'Perhaps... only Hikaru can help me break the fate pre-arranged by that person. I hope he can really help me.'
'However… Perhaps Velys made the right choice. The present Hikaru is a trustworthy person, who is trying to break fate. If I need to choose a man to love, Hikaru is not a bad choice.'
Velys suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahahaha... Laylah, you're thinking of Hikaru, right?"
"Heh?! How do you know ?"
"Because you just showed a smile full of joy."
"Ack! You misunderstood, I…"
"It's okay… I got it. Laylah, I don't care how many people Hikaru loves or how many people love Hikaru, you liking him makes me even happier."
"You… can I explain…"
"Ah! Hikaru is back."
Laylah was about to explain something when Velys shouted. Then she jumped down from the watchtower. Even though she was over 15 meters tall, she was able to land as easily as a small bird.
However, Velys did not run outside to greet Hikaru, on the contrary, she ran inside the mansion.
Laylah felt very strange seeing that. Naturally, she was in no hurry, so she slowly descended the stairs.
Arriving in the living room, Laylah was startled to see that Velys had changed into a maid outfit with a white apron.
She stood in the kitchen, and quickly cooked the food that Hikaru liked.
However, Laylah felt that Velys was not cooking for them rather she was showing off to Hikaru.
Velys' movements were spectacular; it was as if she were dancing with the ingredients.
Crack!
The room door opened, and Hikaru entered, seeing Velys in the kitchen he was also immediately startled.
He quickly walked to Velys' side and hugged her from behind. Velys was not surprised, she stopped what she was doing, and happily said: "I am cooking, wait for me."
"I can't wait."
"But… Laylah is here."
"I don't care."
"Um… Hi… Hikaru… um… don't…"
The two immediately indulged in a sweet and steamy kiss.
Layla: "…"
'Oy! I'm still standing here, I'm human, not air.'
Of course Laylah just thought about saying that but didn't actually do anything. She frowned, and pouted, as she watched the lovers indulge in a steamy kiss.
More than 5 minutes later, they separated, Velys was panting, and her face was red.
In fact, when Hikaru saw Velys wearing a maid outfit with a white apron, it seemed like his male instincts were stimulated.
Hikaru was now determined to bring Velys to another world. No matter how difficult it was, he would try to do it.
Velys is so great.
"Um… I… need to keep cooking."
"Hehehe… okay." Hikaru nodded, then kissed her hair, then went to the sofa in the living room and sat down to rest.
Laylah was now sitting next to him, her arms were crossed over her chest, and she seemed to be sulking: "Huh! It seems you don't care about my existence, don't you?"
"Ah!" Hikaru smiled and said: "This is my home, do I need to care about you whenever I want to do something?"
"Laylah, you still haven't paid the rent in full, do you want me to kick you out?"
Laylah also smiled coldly: "Looks like... when you get home, you think you're a god here?"
Hikaru shrugged his shoulders and said, "Not really, but I had to work very hfind out more information about Alissa for you, and you are displeased with me over small things."
"It seems… I don't need to tell you this information."
"You…" Laylah was startled, she looked towards Hikaru, and her attitude changed 180 degrees.
Laylah smiled seductively, she then reached out towards Hikaru, and used her index finger to caress his cheek: "Hahaha... I'm just joking. You won't be mad at me, will you?"
Hikaru glanced at Laylah, his face extremely calm: "I'm tired now, when I'm happy, I'll tell you."
Layla: "…"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Yes, what are you going to do? Attack me?" Even though Laylah used cold and murderous words, Hikaru still seemed unafraid.
Laylah felt extremely strange right now. As Hikaru now seemed completely different from before.
It was as if a puppet had cut itself off from the strings that controlled it, and had now begun to control it's master
"Okay, what do you want, say it. What do I need to do so you can reveal some information about her?"
Hikaru shrugged: "Now is not the right time for me to tell you information about her. But I can tell you one thing..."
"Daziro was telling the truth, Alissa is really alive, it's just that she exists in a rather special state."
Laylah was startled: "What do you mean?"
