Legacy World 6.20 Aimi's Game Of Chess
Naoko knew that Aimi was looking down on her by throwing her this chance to turn the tide around but her throat clamped down and prevented her from saying anything.
She was having second thoughts about triggering a change in Tadashi's condition.
Recalling how he was earlier when they were abandoning their hover ship, the only thing she was sure of was how painful it was for him to gain awareness. The chance that the familiar soul was alright and lying dormant within that body made her unwilling to try and trigger a change.
"Igarashi-san?"
Now that she knew what her issue was, she found her voice back. "I was just jealous of her for having everyone's attention. I started to feel left out and forgotten." Naoko chose to say things that she knew Tadashi would not like.
Aimi's eyes widened slightly in surprise upon hearing the familiar words.
Tadashi stared unblinkingly at her in disbelief. Suspicions rose again. Som

The couple ignored everything around them and stayed in each other's embrace until Tadashi calmed down enough. As soon as he did, his eyes were instantly drawn to the red crescents on Naoko's arm. Bruises were already forming around each crescent, almost blending together into one huge bruise. His heart wrenched all over again. He lightly brushed the sides of her small wounds and asked in a small sorry voice, "May I patch you up?""Let's first move Kobayashi-san to Ai-chan's mecha."Tadashi looked reluctant."It's more efficient that way. After that, we can stay in my mecha." Naoko gently persuaded him.Tadashi nodded obediently, then swiftly carried out the job for her. He refused to let her do anything except tagalong beside him.Somehow, she could feel Tadashi's anxiety. He was still unsettled and it got worse the closer he got to Aimi's mecha. However, they were the only ones who could transport Isamu. Hansuke and Tatusya were

They woke up with the screen shining brightly in their faces. Visibility of the area, however, improved only by a little. They could barely see the figures of the others huddled together on the ground and eating with the mechas surrounding them."It's already lunchtime." Naoko commented somewhat dryly while she got off Tadashi to stretch a little. She did not really like waking up late but she came to peace with it because Tadashi could use the rest."Did you manage to sleep well?" Tadashi, on the other hand, was only concerned that the lack of bed may affect the quality of her rest and sleep.Naoko smiled reassuringly and nodded."Let's go find the rest then." Tadashi said while he stood up.Although he said it so normally, Naoko could feel Tadashi's reluctance to leave the mecha. "We don't have to join them, I have my own rations here that we can share.""It's okay, there's something I want to tell them in person anyway." Tadashi exp
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.23 Escaping The Death Flag
After more and more shadows of withered trees, mushrooms, and puddles, it was awhile before they saw anything different. A blurry shadow that was much smaller than the trees made an appearance. The closer they got, the more defined the edges were, and the more human-like they looked."Am I seeing things...?" Tatusya whispered out in astonishment."Then we must all be seeing things." Tadashi whispered back.Everyone nodded with similar expressions of shock, surprise, and apprehension.Naoko had not read about a creature like this in the world book and did not remember coming across something like this in the creature encyclopedia."They look like us but they're at leastTWO times our size." Hansuke whispered."Are we about to meet giants?" Tatsuya wondered aloud.While Naoko was still pondering over what they should do, Aimi suggested "I think it's better to wait for them to approach
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.24 The Settlement Within The Fog
Everything Tadashi said matched what BaoBao had told her, except for one point. Although they were indeed treated like honoured guests, Tatsuya had requested for a large room. He thought it better to stay together in a new and unknown environment. It was only after Tadashi came to that they got put into different rooms. Tadashi refused to share a room with Aimi whom he still could not bring himself to trust. He did not want to risk being caught unaware and have something to happen to Naoko or him. When he made his discomfort known to their hospitable hosts, they quickly empathised with him and became partial towards him. Tadashi guessed that there was a slight misunderstanding based on the hostile gazes they directed towards the other four. However, he did not bother correcting anything. Naoko's safety was his first priority, he got what he wanted, and it did not look like his friends would be harmed. BaoBao could know this because Tadashi's protectiven
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.25 Carried Away
Naoko immediately began her martial arts practice the moment they returned to their room. There was plenty of space in the room for her to do so.Tadashi stared at her, speechless. He sighed lightly and shook his head with a helpless smile. He stood by the door contemplating if he should join her in her practice. Before he knew it, he had already stared at her longer than he intended to. Something about watching her being active again filled him with so much happiness that he could not take his eyes off of her. He absentmindedly made himself comfortable on the bed instead. The way he watched her with a peaceful smile plastered on his face was like an avid art appreciator admiring a masterpiece.The longer Naoko practiced her martial arts, the more disturbed she felt. Eventually, she could no longer tolerate his staring. So, she stopped. Feeling slightly irritated at herself, she glanced at him sharply with a slight pout. /Shouldn't I be used to his star
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.26 I Said, Be Careful With Her
Naoko's eyelids slowly lifted. Tadashi's peaceful sleeping profile filled her sight. A gentle warmth unfurled in her chest the longer she observed his face. A tiny smile appeared on her face and softened her expression. Not wanting to disturb his sleep, she wriggled and wormed her way out of his grasp as gently as she could. It was effortful and took time but she eventually made it out without waking him up. Her eyes scanned the room. It did not look the littlest bit brighter. The only indication that time had passed was the light filtering in through the gaps of the rag door. Just as she swung her legs off the bed, the sound of Tadashi stirring in his sleep drew her attention back to him. Tadashi's red eyes were wide open and alert as he pushed himself up. "Naoko?" His voice still hoarse from having just woken up. "Where're you going?" Worry and fear was evident in his voice. A wry smile formed on her face. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.27 Match Made In Heaven
"I'd like to learn more about this thing you call auras." Naoko said the moment she climbed up onto the large bench. As soon as she spoke, she regretted it. Her cheeks turned pink. She did not want to come off as rude or impatient. /I guess the fog's finally getting to me too.../ She lamented to herself inwardly. Meanwhile, a deep chuckle left Dai's lips while he helped himself to the mountain of raw meat placed in the middle of the table that was free for all to take. Each table had a plate like that. With such poor hygiene, Naoko wondered at the back of her mind how diseases and such had not wiped the locals out yet. "So you're a brainy one. You'd fit in comfortably with them." Dai gestured towards a general direction. Naoko was sure that he was pointing to a specific group of people but everyone looked the same to her. Nonetheless, he began to answer her question. "Auras are something we're all born with. Before we can use it, we hav
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 6.28 Naoko's Insights
Naoko soon realised that there was no direction whatsoever in the entire village. With just one declaration, everyone got moving, but they went wherever they wanted to and did whatever they wanted to. There were no further directions or instructions dished out. Some moved things around within the village. Most left the village. A handful looked after the young ones who were still too young to help with anything. The closest thing that came close to delegation of roles were locals saying that they needed more hands. Regardless, it did not end up as a chaotic mess. It was as if everyone knew where they belonged. There was no argument between two people about wanting to do the same job.Naoko stood at the entrance of the communal hall. Her eyes followed every passing local and observed every little thing they did."As much as I'd like to help too, it doesn't look like we can do anything." Tadashi said while he looked pointedly at the huge things the locals were hefting up
