Hearing what Kris just said, Alex froze on the spot and didn't imdiately react.
Then, when he ca to his senses, he snapped his head in Kris' direction and looked at her with eyes filled with surprise.
But before they even got the chance to talk, an embarrassing scene happened between them.
Because Kris just whispered in his ear, her face was pretty close to Alex.
And when Alex turned his head in her direction, he forgot about that which resulted in their lips touching!
Now, it was not just Alex who was stunned at this turn of events, but also Kris!
The two forgot to react and only after three seconds passed did the two hurriedly move away from each other.
With a red face, Kris glared at Alex, "Y-you…"
No words ca out of Kris and she can only stare at Alex with a 'resentful' look.
As for Alex, after the initial surprise, he quickly recovered and seed to not take that 'kiss' too seriously.
He looked at the glaring Kris and said, "What? What about ? That was my first kiss, you took advantage of ."
Alex covered his chest and acted like a girl who just got molested.
Seeing him acting like that, Kris grew angrier.
But after a while, she managed to maintain her composure and not attack Alex.
She took a deep breath and continued with what she was talking about, trying to disperse the embarrassnt brought by the unexpected event.
Coughing lightly, Kris continued talking, "Ehem, anyway, as I was saying, I know your secret."
Hearing Kris repeat her words before, Alex also dropped his playful attitude and looked at Kris seriously.
Then, he was about to say sothing, but the school bell suddenly rang at this ti, interrupting him.
He paused for a second and said, "Let's talk about this again later. For now, let's go back to class first."
Kris nodded in understanding.
The two got up and silently went back to the classroom without saying anything more to each other.
Both have things running inside their own minds at this mont, but only they know what it is.
…
The two sat back to their respective seats and waited for the afternoon class to start.
Soon, the teacher ca and the class started.
However, Alex's mind was not on the teacher at this ti.
He is still occupied by the words that Kris said earlier at lunch.
Because of that, he can't focus on the class at all.
Ti continued flowing and soon it was ti to leave school.
Alex imdiately stood, he looked at Kris and said, "Let's go. We still have things to talk about."
Kris nodded and picked her things up.
The two left the school with hurried footsteps.
Then, they went to a park not far away from the school.
There are a few people in the park such as students from their school dating or so group of friends who are just hanging out together before going back ho.
Alex and Kris went to a particular spot without people and took a seat on a bench.
Once they sat down, Alex did not waste any ti.
He turned his eyes to Kris and said, "So, what is all that about back at lunchti?"
Kris was silent for a while before she started talking in a serious tone.
"As I have told you, I have this skill called appraisal. Using it, I learned that you have been to the Alter Dinsion."
Alex frowned, he said, "From your words, it seems like you're pretty familiar with the Alter Dinsion, huh?"
Kris raised her head and gaze directly into Alex's eyes, then she said, "Alex, have you ever thought that it's not only you who can enter the Alter Dinsion?"
Hearing her question, Alex thought about the gun that he found back at the now Lucky Dungeon.
'Yeah, I have thought about it already. Since there was an item from Earth in that place, it just ans that soone from Earth has been there before.'
Thinking of that, Alex thought of sothing and stared intently into Kris' eyes.
"Kris… does that an that you have also been to the Alter Dinsion?"
Kris nodded, "Yes, how do you think I got my appraisal skill?"
"It's not just , there's also my family and a lot more people in the world."
Hearing all this, Alex didn't seem to be as shocked as one would think.
"So that's it, huh." He muttered, nodding in understanding.
Then, Alex decided to ask sothing that he was curious about.
"Anyway, why are you suddenly talking about all this with ?"
From what Alex could infer from all the information he has, the existence of Alter Dinsion seems to be a secret from the people and only those rich and powerful know about it.
Now that Kris is openly talking about all these things with him, Alex would not believe her if she told him that she doesn't have a motive.
And just like he thought, Kris really has a reason for telling him all this.
"Rember those missing students that we were talking about at lunch?"
Confused, Alex said, "Yeah, what is it about them again?"
With a serious look, Kris said, "Actually, their disappearance has sothing to do with the Alter Dinsion."
Alex is not stupid, he has already thought about this after Kris talked about it again and again while the topic is about Alter Dinsion.
What he wants to know now is, how are these two things related?
Kris didn't make Alex guess for long as she started talking about it.
"Alter Dinsion's existence has been known by the governnt since a hundred years ago through an accident in a laboratory while researching the existence of dark matter."
"When they first arrived at the other world, everyone was ecstatic at the new discovery and imdiately set out to explore."
"However, the journey resulted in many casualties because of sothing that they didn't expect."
"Monsters!"
