BXBX NOVEL 218 Chapter 218
As Acht was standing there with Leislet, Mia came toward them. However, her usual smile was nowhere to be seen.
Her face was actually quite grim and angry to some extent. Acht saw that but didn\'t ask her about it since it wasn\'t his business at all.
When she was close enough, she said quietly.
"Good morning."
Acht nodded briefly. Her eyes lingered on him for a few seconds with a complicated look then she looked at Leislet and said the same thing.
Leislet saw the abnormality in her actions and felt like something was wrong and she somehow had a hunch who the source of this problem was. It was the person Mia was now gazing at again with a weird look.
It was a look of a girl that was clearly having an interest in a boy. She knew that fact because she has the same look whenever she looks at Acht.
So, she smiled slightly and said.
"Mia, could you please give us a moment?" She asked softly.
Mia was confused at first but still accepted her request and walked away. Leiselt then looked back at Acht and said with a displeased tone.
"Why is she like that?"
"Hm?" He tilted his head.
"You know what I mean. Did you do something to her?" She asked again.
"Hmm, I don\'t think so. I didn\'t even talk with her that much." He said as he tried to recall something.
Leislet kept looking at him. His face now was the fake one he made which was pretty average. Immediately, she had a suspicion.
"Did you show her your real face?" She asked.
Acht thought for a moment as he remembered what happened a few days ago before nodding.
"Now that I recall, yeah I did. That girl has some weird powers in her eyes and she was able to discover my secret easily. I had no choice but to show her my face." He said.
Leislet looked down and went silent for a long time. Acht didn\'t know why but he felt as if he was now in big trouble.
"Mm, Leislet?" He muttered her name but the latter didn\'t say anything.
So, he touched her shoulder.
"Oii. Are you dead?" He asked jokingly.
But, when she lifted her face, her eyes were wide open. But, inside them, he couldn\'t see anything except emptiness.
Instinctively, he started retreating because he felt clear danger from those eyes.
"What\'s wrong?"
Leislet finally spoke.
"You idiot! Acht is a dense idiot!" She said,
"Heeeeh?" He muttered.
"What do you mean?"
"You are a dense idiot! The biggest idiot in this entire world!!" She said,
"As I said, what are you on about? Are you high?"
"No, I am angry! Very angry! Can\'t you see how handsome you are? Do you think this world is a game?! Have some self-awareness!"
\'Why am I getting lectured now?!\' He thought as he retreated. Leislet was closing the distance between them with her fists clenched tightly.
"Leislet, calm down." He said.
"How can I calm down when you are acting like this?! I might have to beat some sense into you!" She said as she started running toward him.
"Oii! Stop." He said before running away.
Neither of them used their soul force as to now rise suspicion from the others but they were still pretty fast.
\'She totally went nuts!\' The boy thought as he looked behind him. Leislet was on his pursuit with a very creepy face.
She looked as if she was about to kill him on the spot if she caught him which made him run even faster.
The two passed beside the fields where the villagers were working. They saw the two running like that and waved their hands toward them.
They thought that they were playing around.
"Young people and their energy, hehehe. Ah, I miss my old days." An old man said with a small smile.
"You are still young, grandpa." A young boy replied as he grabbed the hem of his clothes.
"Oh, you think so. Well, thank you." He said as he patted his head.
\'This is not the time for something like that! Fuck, she is tenacious!\'
The two ran from the village center to the outskirts in less than 50 seconds. Acht didn\'t know where to go any further.
So, he stopped and turned around.
"Prepare yourself! I will make you understand your own charm! The rough way that is!" She said,
"Wait, Leislet. Let\'s talk. Ok, I did something bad. I am well aware now. Can we call it off now?" He said hurriedly.
"No! You need to get punished!"
\'Does she really wanna beat me up?! Fuck, what should I do? I can\'t use Gravity here. Think, think!\'
Then, luckily, an idea popped into his head. But, coincidentally, Leislet was already on the move to hit him.
"How about a date? We can go on a date if you stop this stupid shit!"
*Swish*
In a moment, Leislet stopped her movement. Her fist was barely a few centimeters away from Acht\'s face. Her expression also changed in a split second from anger and insanity to a blushing smile.
Then, she started fidgeting with her fingers as if she was a shy small girl.
"R-Really? Oh, Acht. You didn\'t have to go that far." She said.
\'Of course, I needed to or I would\'ve had to spend my next week in bed!\' He almost shouted.
"Are you really going on a date with me? Promise?"
"Promise." He said after a long sigh.
"Yayyy! Date! Date! We are going on a date!!"
Leislet started jumping up and down happily before stopping.
"Oh, how silly of me! We need to first build the library and then we could talk about the date. Ok, let\'s get to work, darling!"
Then, she walked away while humming happily.
"I am not your darling." Acht clicked his tongue before following her silently.
Even though it was only morning, he felt as if he had the most hectic and long day ever.
\'Should I just go back to sleep?\'
