Chapter 8

I was smiling from ear to ear the whole while we ate. I just could not contain my excitement about living together with Clarise! Passionately waiting for the time to go home. "Clarise, excuse me but, I would like to talk to Lilan for a second," Ophelia said after we finished eating.

"Why, yes of course. That would be fine. Then I shall go to the bathroom for a bit then, while you both talk." Clarise said while excusing herself. "Yes, that would be very much appreciated!" Ophelia said thanking her for the privacy given to our conversation.

I knew from the tone they were both talking in that they were trying to be as polite as possible towards each other, and I couldn't help but smirk at them as there was no need for them to be so polite and formal as they both will be seeing each other a lot now that Clarise has become my legal guardian as she's taking me under her wing.

When Clarise was now out of ear reach, our little meeting about my job as an MMDT Officer started.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we both finished talking and called Clarise on the phone she bought me earlier. We all met up at the bookstore Clarise and I went to earlier. We were all saying our goodbyes and Ophelia also registered her number onto my phone.

"Dear, make sure to call me if ever you're in trouble, okay? Though I doubt that would happen as you were the type of kid that would always be the winner in any fight whether it be an academic, word, or a fistfight, you always won. and plus, I don't think I'd be needed as much as I could see that you have Clarise with you. But even so, call me from time to time, understood?" She said with a stern look that made me shiver quite a lot as a kid back then, and I couldn't help but smile at the memories that surfaced in my mind.

"Yeah yeah, I understand. You have already said that like a hundred times already ever since you registered your number on my phone." I said and laughed as we walked away and bid farewell to Ophelia.

She is indeed worthy of being called one of the best warriors and Trainor in our world as she has trained countless warriors and knights each year from different kingdoms and races without any judgment and due to this made a powerful and fair troop of warriors with a strong sense of justice and raised them to be the victor that they were, and I myself am honored to be one of them...

"Shall we now go back to the station and pick up your stuff and then let's go home?" She said even before I could get lost far deeper into my train of thoughts.

"Yes, indeed we shall," I said and smiled as I imagined what kind of life I would lead in the far future in this world or whether I would think of coming back to my original world. To the world that treasures me the most, the world that needs me, and to the world where I originally belong.

I was delighted to have met with a warm welcome and be treated nicely by Clarise's family which just ended up making me miss my family. But even so, I was pleasantly surprised that Clarise was a woman with a family of three: her husband, her child, Callista, and her. They looked so cute, all of them were so jolly and nice and I found out that they actually all talked about adopting even before bringing me here and that I'm actually a year younger than their daughter Callista. For the whole day that I was with them, I was brimming with joy so much so that I found myself looking and sounding foolish. But at least I was happy. 

Me and Callista instantly hit it off and became best of friends. We talked so much that we wouldn't even have stopped if not for Clarise stopping us. We found out that we actually had so much in common. We smiled and giggled as if we knew each other our whole lives. And I know for sure that once I leave this place she'll be one of the people I'll miss a lot.

But even so with this happy energy and vibe that this family emits, even no matter how happy I was to be here with them, and not just me I could feel that Phoebe was also very happy being around them, I just couldn't shake off the feeling that I forgot a very important factor that I should have considered before making a decision of coming here to live with them. And when the time struck to remind me that it was time for me to do my duties as an MMDT Officer, I just couldn't help but give myself the good 'ol facepalm and I tried hard to stop myself from giving my own self a good beating.

Now how was I supposed to go to and do my job and catch some illegal transmigrants...

I couldn't help but grumble and scowl at the thought. If I just go out of the window as I did at the station people will think that I'm weird or even think that I'm some kind of thief! And if I go out casually through the door, they would most probably hear the door open and would obviously grow suspicious of me. And I don't want that to happen I like where I am right now, contented even.

'Great work Olivia Lilan, you just fucked up big time! You freaking  dumbass bitch!'
