“Are you sure?”
“Yes. She has taken forever.”
“It has only been one night. I’m sure she is fine.”
“... follow me.”
Still, in the woods, Dionysus and Conan were actually waiting for one kilometer away. By standard - according to Dionysus - she needed 24 hours alone with her subjects before they could find her.
And, today was her second day.
Well, one day and a half to be exact.
So, Conan had no choice but to search for her when she still didn’t escape through the route that she had promised. Hence, he had to find her in order to give her complete rest.
“Ugh… go… run… ngghhh…” The man in the room raised his head and glanced over his shoulder. “...Ru… Ru… run… love…” He stopped his hand from signing the documents. “... can’t… die… you… love… my love…” The man turned his body to have a better view. His jaw was clenched hard, sometimes it moved back and forth. The vein on his hand popped out as he gripped the innocent pen firmly. “... ru… Am… ru… my love… don’t… die…” that hand stretched in the air with a hitched breath echoed in the room. The man cupped his chin and stared hard. “What are you? A pervert?” His friend that was also in
Shadow groaned weakly. Her head felt like she was struck with a brick. It was throbbing like crazy. Her eyeballs under her eyelids a few more times. Cold cotton disinfected swept across her body. “Ugh…” She winced. “It’s okay. Nothing can catch you.” A voice answered her. “Pain…” “I know. It will be okay.” “... okay…” Shadow answered. “Thank you… Amino…” She didn’t have to open her eyes to see who was next to her, diligently tended her wound. “... you know it’s me,” Amino said in amusement. “Never will not.” “Interesting.” Amino replied
“Where is she? Where is she? Where is she?” Elijah paced around Shadow’s office while biting her nail.“Sweetie…” Samuel tried to stop Elijah from biting it but he had nothing to offer.“It’s been two weeks. Two freaking weeks!” Elijah’s voice erupted as a silent volcano erupted.“Chill- gasp!”Amel learned to shut up when Elijah sent a fierce glare at him and instantly looked away. His eyes desperately pleaded for Samuel to intervene.Samuel just shook his head, his face told him that there was nothing they could do but to stay quiet.“Chill? Chill?! Huh?” Elijah shouted at Amel.
The atmosphere inside Shadow’s chamber was chaotic. Everyone was busy doing something in every part of her room. Shadow couldn’t understand why they were inside there.“Why…”She was forcefully shut her eyes by Elijah and Samuel that laid at each of her sides in the bed. They were hindering the doctor's and healers' work at one point. Still, they were still stubborn enough to be next to her like donkeys.“Her wounds have completely healed.” One of them expressed her astonishment a few moments later. “It was a shocker considering the trace of heavy wounds were still existing.”Elijah sat on the bed, right next to Shadow and frowning. “Elaborate.”“Ye- yes
“Huh~ huh~ huh~” Anubis fell on the ground, sweating profusely.Apis stared silently at the closed room.“Huh~ huh~ What are you looking at, Apis?” Anubis questioned the quiet man. Apis had long stopped his training and just stared longingly at the biggest chamber inside the cave.Currently, they went into hiding and training. Exactly what Ryuzaki had told her. They went into the Cave of Death. Busaba had obtained a lot of experiences while battling with the dead and strengthened her usage of the Dead Artifact.Truthfully, Busaba was a normal human with the Dead Artifact. Despite how loose the novel creator created this novel, she still chose to become a human. She had one reason to do so.
“How are you?” Shadow strode inside Cole’s house with her famous straight face.“Still the same.” Cole raised his head from his desk. “Ah, you look healthy, My Lord.” The small smile intact weirdly on his face.“Don’t you ever dare to be cynical to me.” Shadow rolled her eyes once she realized Cole’s intention.Cole’s weird smile carried a more cynical expression than his eyes. The man used to rile her up with a mere crooked smile. She had learned ever since. A weird smiley Cole was his attempt to mock her.Shamelessly, she went straight into the kitchen, where the refrigerator was. “Sabrina?” She asked while pulling the door and ransack rummaging through inside it.
“My Lord,” Sabrina shouted happily as soon as she spotted Shadow at the corner.Shadow was sitting at the corner with her back leaned against the wall and laptop on her lap. She raised her head and smiled gracefully at the archangel.“How is your work?”“I have blessed a lot of people and met a higher rank.” Sabrina trudged towards Shadow like a ghost. Fast and creepy.As soon as her hand reached Shadow’s neck, she found herself pushing the laptop away and sitting on Shadow’s lap. She blinked cutely, acting like she was a loveable pet. Her beautiful hair fluttered, it looked gorgeous.Sabrina felt like there were only two people in that very space. Just Shadow and her, coe
Shadow met with Edmund secretly after two days passed.Next to her was Conan, as the organizer, and Cole who was stubborn enough to cling to her like a leech.Elijah had an urgent matter she wanted to do while Sabrina had to meet the high-ranking for some development purpose. Shadow didn’t care enough to know what happened around the archangel temple.Hence, leaving Cole and Conan to guard her. They accepted the job gratefully.Edmund was sitting in front of Shadow in a wooden chair. The chair was so basic and practically screamed cheap, he didn’t care though. He had one goal in mind and today he would grab it, by hook or by crook.The atmosphere between them was clearly different from before.
