Astros is a na related to Shin by destiny. But there's still ti before he rembers anything.
"So, Astros Guild it is." The lady exclaid.
"This is your guild card. Sir. The guilds will be divided into rankings by the association. For now, your guild's rank is 1 star." She didn't bother to explain any further and asked for the next person to co.
Shin and Alice understood everything was settled here. So they didn't wait any longer.
"Are we going to check other sections too?" Alice asked.
'We can tour around this place. It can be assud as a date right? Hehe.'
Alice continued smiling not leaking any of her thoughts.
"Maybe next ti. We have a lot of things to do today." Shin replied calmly.
'Eh?' Alice was disappointed and she couldn't conceal her thoughts.
"Don't worry we will co by again."
Hearing Shin's words Alice reluctantly agreed.
"We have to et a few people."
*Beep* *Beep*
"Hm, it's Simon," Shin answered the call.
*Clack*
"Hey, Simon."
[Shin, Elena is awake. Co quick.]
"Ok, we will be there soon."
"Is she awake?" Alice asked to confirm it with Shin.
"Yes," Shin replied.
'Great that bitch is alive. Hehe, now this will be fun.'
"Let's go then," Shin and Alice ca out of the building to a secluded place.
"Shadow Veil." Both of their figures disappeared without a trace.
But soone did notice by coincidence. A person with a special ability was observing the whole association and caught sight of this.
"Interesting."
***
While soaring through the sky.
'Was soone watching us? But I checked with my magic eyes no one was nearby. This is troubling.'
'With my increase in mana. I can fly for a very long ti. This is great.'
'Before if I wanted to fly fast, it would have consud a lot of mana but now I don't have to worry.'
Shortly after they reached Adger's residence.
"Co on in, guys." Simon hurriedly leads them inside the house.
Alice looked around and asked.
"Where is she?"
"She will be down in a minute. You guys have a seat first." Simon replied.
Alice's face brightened.
"Okay."
She imdiately locked her hand around Shin's arm affectionately.
He felt sothing was off about Alice's actions but decided to ignore them.
As Shin took a seat Alice sat on his lap.
'What? What is this? Since when was Alice this forward? And she isn't even embarrassed like usual.' Shin wasn't able to process what Alice was thinking.
As for Alice, her mind was preoccupied with thinking of the best way to show off in front of Elena. So she didn't even think about her actions.
***
Elena ca out of her room as she heard Shin had arrived.
'I must have troubled him a lot. I should thank him properly. You can do it, Elena.'
'Yes, I can't act cold in front of him when I'm supposed to thank him.'
"Would you guys like to drink sothing?" Elena heard Simon's voice from downstairs.
'Oh, brother is treating them nicely.'
"Tea is fine."
Hearing Alice's sound Elena felt annoyed.
'Sure enough, that bitch is here.'
'Calm down I can't let Shin see this expression.'
"Darling let's drink in the sa cup," Alice said while giggling.
'What? Am I hearing things?'
'D-D-D-Dar-Darling!??'
Elena imdiately hurried downstairs and the scene in front of her shocked her to the core.
Alice was sitting on Shin's lap and Shin was also showing affection for her.
'Why is this? Please, let this be a dream.'
"Wh-Why are you guys?" Elena asked while pointing her hand towards Shin and Alice shakily.
"Oh, we started dating." Alice smiled mischievously and answered her question.
Like thunder struck her, Elena couldn't think straight and was left standing there.
'Hehehe, seeing the expression of this bitch. It was worth it.' Alice was enjoying the situation very much.
Shin didn't understand why would Alice had to declare that in a roundabout way. She could have said normally.
Simon saw her sister's expression and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
'Sorry sis, I won't interfere in this matter. You have to solve it on your own.'
"N-No, this couldn't be. It's a lie. This is not true." Elena's mind was on the verge of breaking.
"It is true. It's been a few days. Mom and Dad also agreed to it." Alice just continued hurting Elena with her words like swords piercing her heart.
Alice was enjoying it.
'That was fun.'
*Drip*
Elena started crying as she stood there motionlessly. Tears started dropping from her eyes nonstop. She couldn't understand what she was feeling.
Was this jealousy? Or a sense of loss.
Her mind couldn't process anything and the heart-throbbing pain inside her chest was unbearable.
'What is this feeling?'
'Why does it hurt so much?'
Her tears never stop.
"Ele-Elena, are you okay? Does it hurt? Is it the side effect of your advancent?" Shin imdiately went to her in worry.
'Why are you caring for now? Please don't, it hurts more.' Elena wanted to say this but no words ca out of her mouth.
"Alice, can you heal her?" Shin asked anxiously.
Although Alice wanted to tease Elena a little. She didn't expect this type of reaction.
'This is serious.'
"Okay, don't worry. We girls will have our private girls talk so don't bother us for a while." Alice exclaid while grabbing Elena by her shoulder and supporting her to her room.
"Is she alright?" Shin mumbled in concern.
'Is this bastard really clueless or just acting?'
"Tsk, sotis I think how nice it would be to beat the crap out of you," Simon muttered while glaring at Shin.
"Did you say sothing?" Shin asked as he felt he picked up Simon muttering sothing.
Simon didn't reply and took a seat waiting silently.
'Why is everyone acting this way? I have so many important things to discuss. Haah, we don't have much ti. It will happen tonight.'
'I hope they finish their talk soon.'
Shin thought as he started circulating his mana inside his body.
***
Inside Elena's room.
"Have you cald down?" (Alice)
"Does it look like I'm fine?" (Elena)
"Please tell it was a prank." Elena still had so hope of it being wrong.
"No, it was true," Alice answered.
Elena started crying again.
"Why, why did this happen? Is it because I always act cold in front of others? I try my best to act nicely in front of him."
"I can't believe you are his girlfriend." Elena continued speaking.
"I liked him for a long ti. I wanted to be with him. For years I have loved him. He had very low self-esteem until very recently. He had already given up on his life. His motivation for doing anything. I always wanted to help him. But I couldn't. I thought maybe if I can help him we can be together."
"It took years to open up to him. Even my brother had a very hard ti. But it still wasn't enough."
"I thought of many ways. I even tried inviting him out many tis. Maybe because of my personality things beca even more difficult."
"When the monsters invaded. I thought I had lost Shin. I cursed myself for not stopping him from going back ho that day. If sothing had happened to him. I couldn't forgive myself."
"After a few days when I found out, he was fine. I was very happy. But when I t him. He had changed completely. His eyes had a bright light inside them. They were not lifeless anymore. His personality had changed. He had confidence in himself."
"I had dreamt of Shin being like that for a long ti. I even tried many ways to help Shin beco like that."
"But that wasn't the only change. I wasn't the one close to him. It was you. You ca out of nowhere and managed to do what I've been trying for years."
"I know I don't have any right to say this. But I don't like it. I wanted to be with him. Just what did I do wrong?"
Elena's tears never stop coming out.
"This is unfair."
*Sob*
She tugged Alice and kept crying. Alice crouched down on her knee and hugged her.
Elena burst into tears.
'This wasn't how things were supposed to be. She should have been annoyed and thrown a tantrum. I would have made fun of her. Then tease her for a long ti. I never thought she liked him that much.'
'She cares for Shin a lot. So I can't get rid of her. What should I do? But I don't want her to co in between and Shin.'
Alice wasn't able to conclude anything.
[You can't monopolize Shin. So let things happen with the flow of ti. Let destiny decide it.]
A voice sounded inside Alice's consciousness.
'Huh, who the heck was that? What do you an can't monopolize him? Shin is already mine. F*ck the destiny. I decide how I want things to be.'
"Okay now stop crying." Alice patted her back while her eyes had a fierce glint in them.
