"Wait--"
A vase was thrown in Erwin's direction. He managed to avoid it in time only to find that other things were flying to him.
If he were a normal human, his head would have been turned into bloody gore.
"Let's--" Erwin caught another vase, while the other one before had shattered on the floor. "--talk."
Surprisingly, when the flying things died down, Mira's face didn't contain any emotion apart from coldness. Strangely, Erwin's heart jumped at those eyes.
He hurriedly explained. "I just want to talk. I am not the person you are looking for."
Erwin had ascertained that this girl was weaker than him. He couldn't help but shivered slightly, those eyes looking as if she'd murder him if had he said that he was the person she was looking for.
A sigh of relief unwittingly escaped from Erwin after he saw that Mira had gradually calmed down.
"Let's get out from here," Mira said expressionlessly. She turned and left the room
"What do you want?" Mira gave him a sweet smile. If Azarias was here, he would have noticed that Mira was inwardly irritated and furious right now. Her eyes shone with a cold light that barely noticeable for those who were not discerning enough."You know the answer," Jason said, his tone no longer cold. Rather, it was mild with a hint of impatience. Despite that, a trace of gentleness somehow also appeared in his eyes."Why would I have time to bother about what you want?" Mira scoffed. She wasn't in a good mood today. Azarias had unexpectedly had a sleepover at her house last night.Their relationship had deteriorated to the point of awkwardness in doing certain things. Mira had no intention of mending this as it was her initial plan anyway. However, she also couldn't forget how Azarias had been so kind and considerate of her this whole time.She was very self-conscious."You already retaliate enough against me for what I have done." Jason sudden
Mira tried to glean at the person's face. However, she didn't manage to find his identity. His face was shrouded in a thin grey mist as if he had intentionally used a spell to cover it.With narrowed eyes, Mira assessed her situation. She needed to get those things out of her pocket and threw them at him. Those things that she unwittingly found in an abandoned mage's dwelling were fatal for him. Mira had deduced so because of his current body. She needed to make sure that she'd hit right into the target.The roughness of his voice caused her to feel somehow disappointed. She hadn't recognized it at all. He was probably being cautious enough to hide his traits that could leak his identity. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to continue to mingle among werewolves.The sight before Mira abruptly changed as crackling sound ensued. A massive claw of a wolf hurtled toward her. Mira's pupils shrunk as an incredulous expression flashed across her face.However, she i
"You..." The unfinished words hung around in the air. Seraphine gazed at the person in front of her in shock, but she was even more worried about someone."No wonder that she..." Seraphine looked back at Azarias, who seemed like he would erupt in madness anytime. However, those emotions in his red eyes would be gone, replaced with calm grief as soon as they landed on the figure on the bed, who had her entire body wrapped in white cloth.Seraphine sighed. "You should try to control yourself." She returned her attention to the girl on the bed. "She had such a reckless side. At first, I was wondering why. You should have helped her control her violent temper first."Azarias stayed silent. He didn't give any response to her words, whether he had heard her or not, it was unknown."Go to sleep." As soon as those words were uttered by Seraphine, and before Azarias could do anything, he felt something struck him. He tried to struggle, but in the end, he lost cons
"Here, have a drink." Seraphine hastily snatched a drink, using a spoon to scoop little water, and helped Mira to drink it."Open your mouth," Seraphine said softly.Mira obediently opened her mouth slightly, a confused expression apparent in those eyes. However, her eyes remained hazy and unfocused.After a while, she closed her eyes again. Seraphine waited, but her eyes were tightly shut even after a few minutes passed.Azarias who was watching from the side hurriedly went to her side. He carefully reached out for her hand. Only then he heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that her condition remained stable. He mumbled softly. "She is unable to maintain consciousness for too long."A frown marred Azarias's face after a while. A sigh escaped his mouth.Seraphine also gazed at Mira with a complicated look. She stared at her palms, conflicted.Erwin was watching from the side. It was unknown what he was thinking. When Seraphine turn
Mira's eyes widened, her mouth parted slightly. She blinked, trying to process Azarias's words. After all, this confession was too inconceivable.Was she zoning out earlier that she heard wrong? Mira closed her eyes. Then, she opened them again to look at the smiling Azarias. He also seemed a little anxious for some reason."I t-think I was in a d-daze earlier." Mira almost stuttered. She took a deep breath and forced a smile. "What did you say earlier?"Mira had her long hair down. As the white cloth previously wrapping her entire body had been replaced by normal clothes, her skin had begun to heal.It was great that her face was the part where it got the least impact from the blast. After two months, the skin on her face had gotten back how it used to. Azarias couldn't help but reached out to brush her cheek."You want me to repeat that?" Azarias said softly. "Alright, I will say it more clearly.""Bella, you are my mate."Damn, Mir
Mira's eyes fluttered open. However, she was instantly looking at Azarias, who was also looking at her. She raised her eyebrow and smiled.Azarias did the same. He smiled and ruffled her hair lovingly, reaching out further to embrace her. They didn't even care about the eyes looking at them as if expecting a good drama.Mira changed her position. She now had her back leaning against Azarias's sturdy chest. She went back closing her eyes, ignoring Jason as if he didn't even exist.From the corner of Azarias's mouth, a subtle smirk formed. He glanced at Jason with a provoking gaze.Arlan and Josh, who were in the middle of playing basketball, nearly run into each other. They stopped what they were doing and walked to their friends.Seraphine was among the ones sitting on the stool, watching the basketball players on the field. Her head turned at the sound of the commotion. She shook her head when she saw that it was Jason causing a ruckus."I
"Where's Arlan?" Mira was surprised when she saw that Josh was alone. It was currently lunchtime, and they were in the cafeteria. She hadn't seen Arlan since this morning."He probably sleeps somewhere." Josh yawned, clearly had just woken up. He must've ditched his math class again.Mira frowned. "Arlan isn't you.""Maybe something urgent came up," Azarias suggested. His hand reached out to put the strand of Mira's hair behind her ear."Hmm, that's reasonable," Mira mumbled.She stared at Erwin briefly, then looked away with a thoughtful look. She glanced at Azarias and smiled innocently when she got caught staring at him.It had been around two weeks since she went back to college. She had gotten better, thanks to the care of everyone around her.It made her realize that she had people who cared about her. She was no longer alone. However, thinking about this made her had a flashback to the conversation with Azarias two weeks ago.
Mira managed to stop herself before her body slammed into the wall. She took a deep breath and calmed her erratic heart. It was dangerous just now. Luckily, the force seemed to be less than one she had faced before.It was a sign that the warlock's power was weakening. Mira's body bent down slightly from the inertia. She looked up, and her pupils constricted.After a moment, she was back to being expressionless."Mirabella Forest, you are such a fool." The voice sounded rough, like dry branches brushed against each other.Mira said nothing, only coldly observing the person in front of her."It's such a pity that you are not dead." Red lines began to appear on Dave's face. He looked horrifying. Half of his face cracked, revealing a rotten wound. The skin on his body was patched in grey, dry color. Those were the effect of those black crystals Mira had thrown on him."You are the one asking that girl to buy the black crystals from me." Mira re
The young girl gazed outside the window in a daze. The rain hadn't ended. It had been going on since a few hours ago, making her slightly anxious. A frown marred her beautiful face. The baby fat still hadn't gone, further making her look especially cute. The girl couldn't help from tapping her feet on the ground. "You little brat, what did you just do yesterday?" A voice filled with anger strolled in, causing the girl to nearly jumping from her seat. In a panic, she cursed and tried to hide under the table. The girl slipped in quickly and covered her mouth with a hand. She closed her eyes and held her breath. It was as if the one looking for her could detect her just from the smell of her breath.
Mira felt like her heart stopped for a moment, her mind and body froze as she stared ahead. The sudden explosion was like the cold water pouring down her head, a slap to reality. The dust, branches, soil, and pebbles flying randomly caused it to be hard to see what happened. Mira frantically looked around, searching for Arlan's figure amidst the chaos. Dave's thunderous roar made her heart sink. It was full of fury, and Mira knew well who was the cause of it. He had the hold of Arlan's life in his grasp. The dust hadn't settled, but Mira suddenly had an inkling from the faint connection of the Goddess's blessing. Without caring about the curse inflicting her body, Mira trudged to the source. "Let's go together." Azarias's voice sounded in her ear, and the next moment, the painful feeling from the aftershocks of the explosion was warded off. She numbly stayed in Azarias's embrace until less than a minute later, they arrived at the scene. The wa
The pained expression of the person inside was akin to a needle piercing Mira's heart. After all, he wasn't just anyone. Mira had regarded Arlan as her brother. If Azarias wasn't present, Arlan would be the next person to shield her from rain and storm.Mira's heart trembled slightly. She tried to stand up, looking at the figure in the coffin.Dave was using space magic to conceal Arlan's existence all this time. He brought him out when he realized that things had gone south. Now, the coffin was hovering vertically beside Dave, making sure that Mira could see Arlan's expression clearly.He did it on purpose."Let go of him." Her voice turned hoarse as she faced Dave, who only rolled his eyes."Do you think I am that stupid? Once I let go of him, I will be dead. That demon won't let go of me." Dave pointed at Azarias. "Demons are known as bloodthirsty creatures. Once they set their target, they will follow it until the very end."Dave had pre
