Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Spare me

When Yeman and Mina arrived at the camp. They noticed that the vigil was already finished. All the recruited soldiers divided themselves into groups, and happily chatting and drinking.

When they passed by at one particular group Yeman been called out by the guy wearing sunglasses even in this dark of night.

He was wondering if this guy still able to see. He couldn’t help to chuckle a bit. Well, no one among them knew in particular if when was the appropriate time to use it, except him. So no one would find it weird for this guy except him.

“Little brother, here!” Called by the guy wearing sunglasses while waving his hand to his direction. His name was Kurz.

“Little Brother Eman join us here,” Mayu shouted also his name when she noticed him.

Mina glanced at the guy beside her. She wondered if when did this guy able to get close with the other group of recruited soldiers.

She’s wondering also about the item in that man’s eyes that waving at the guy beside her. She remembered the two-item wore by the rat monsters.

But too bad that she wasn’t able to collect one out of the two. Since, when she caught up with Jura at that time, Jura had already taken the two artifacts from the monsters.

.....

Mina was a little disheartened. She wasn’t able to get a good artifact in this battle. Though she wasn’t able to get a hold of an artifact, she wasn’t that dejected, to be honest.

Actually, she was more than happy for getting a Magic Cryst. Because of that cryst, she ranked up and became stronger.

But even though she became stronger, the guy beside her was still able to defeat her quickly.

The truth was, she wasn’t even serious at that time and not using her full strength, but how about this guy? Was that the full extent of his strength? Or he’s hiding his real strength also?

Now that Mina knew that this guy wasn’t really a worm like the others had said, she couldn’t attack him carelessly the next time.

She also wondered if who was the old man that healed her foot. It suddenly appeared before him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Not just that, it respectfully bowed at him either. Mina was thinking that this guy became a complete stranger. It seemed, he hid many secrets.

Even the way he moves, the way he talks and many other things about him was somewhat unfamiliar to his old self.

She couldn’t understand him anymore. But Mina finds it weird, these kinds of changes about him, in herself she finds it likable. Eventually, for her, he looks cooler than before.

For some reason, she found herself staring at those attractive red eyes again. Hoping that those eyes would wander towards her direction.

Sadly that those eyes were fixedly staring at one direction without averted it.

Mina bit her lips and decided to distract herself into glancing everywhere. She couldn’t let herself to fall for this guy.

This was the guy that her ex-best friend Hannah used to love. And this was also the guy who sought her help in order to get the sweetest ‘yes’ from Hannah.

She pouted her lips.

Yeman walked towards the group of Mayu.

When she noticed him moving towards the group of Mayu, she found herself awkwardly standing alone, so she hastily followed after him.

Not too far from them, someone was staring coldly at the two. In her eyes were expressions of inconceivable emotions.

“Hey, Lady Han, where are you staring at? Jura was asking you a question,” whispered the girl beside Hannah.

“Eh? S-sorry, I was...just— thinking for something,” Hannah reasoned out.

Jura caught her staring at the worm guy. “That guy again?!” He yelled inside him. He really didn’t believe what Hannah had said before. That she already forgotten that worm.

But he didn’t mind it, now that he was able to take a hold of two unique artifacts, getting Hannah’s hand into marriage was for certain. He was still the winner in the end. When they went back home, he would request a marriage proposal to Hannah’s family.

And if that guy wanted to meddle with his affairs, he would certainly kill him this time.

Being a successor of the family brings numerous benefits. One of them was stepping a worm like that guy.

Yeman took the bowl that handed by Mayu. “Thank you, big sister, May,” he said in a friendly tone.

Mina was surprised... “is this guy for certain wanted to drink?” She was surprised since they were underage. But the truth was... it wasn’t about their age. It because Hannah always told her that this guy didn’t like drinking drinks that made someone drunk.

“How about you?” She heard his voice. Mina glanced at him just to see that he was staring at her trying to offer the bowl with a strong smell of liquids.

She was speechless for 3 seconds, because of those 2 captivating eyes that fixed at her.

“N-No...thanks,” she mumbled.

“Eh? Little brother Eman, is she your girlfriend?” Kurz asked him.

Mina was slightly stunned for this sudden question. But for some reason, she wanted to know how he going to answer and afraid to know at the same time.

Yeman leaked a lazy smile on his face before opening his mouth.

“Spare me, Big brother Kurz. I don’t want a girlfriend who punches her boyfriend out of nowhere,” he said jokingly.

Everyone chuckled after hearing his answer.

But Mina slightly twitched her brows with a pout. She mumbled, “it’s your fault in the first place.”

After giving his answer, Yeman gulped the bowl with liquor inside.

He was about to sit beside Mayu when, “hey, we can’t sit here for long,” Mina suddenly said.

“Ha? But you’re free to go anywhere,” He replied.

“I mean, Uncle Ronny was looking for you,” she said.

Hah~ he sighed.

“Then why you just told me that now?” Yeman asked.

“I-I forgot.” She said while darted her eyes around.

He thought, ‘can’t be helped, huh.’

“I’m sorry Big sisters and big brothers. I can’t enjoy the night with you all.” Yeman said his sorry.

“We understand little brother, the missy wanted to solo you,” Kurz jokingly whispered at him in a slightly loud voice.

“Hey!” Mina shouted at Kurz while furrowing her brows.

“Kufufu...” Mayu chuckled.

“Spare me,” Yeman replied.

Hahaha! The group broke into laughters.

After leaving the group of Mayu. They proceeded to the tent where Ronny, Leo, and Stonehard was waiting.
