Chapter 74: Secrets (1)
"Can you tell where she exactly is? I don't have a sealing skill yet… and I don't know yours, but I can imagine it can be hard to seal a spirit you never saw or felt." Aie raised a few good questions.
To which Hunter replied, "The prerequisites are… against in this case. I have to drink the blood of those I want to seal. For example, if I want to seal a demonic part of a monster, I gotta punch him for a while, drawing his blood before Hellmouth seals demon mana. Since I can't even see the vampire spirit's eyes like on those werewolves… I can only seal the human and spirit at the sa ti."
"That was my main worry as the unsealed spirit in a seal skill… can always find a way to break free. But since you have two spirits inside you, there's nothing to worry about," Aie faintly smiled, "I'll take their lifespan, then. You don't mind if I take so of the spirits' lifespan, do you?"
"Oh, so no chance they beco my maids, then-" Hunter bit his tongue and glanced at his girlfriend, whose smile was quite dangerous now.
"Maids? Ah… maids… right… when you were gone for a week, I was so concerned about you, yet you weren't alone and with spirit maids! Ah, my boyfriend is so cool! Really, a future Harem God with a sealing skill in which he can visit his maids to have so much fun with them while leaving the real and best woman alone and worried! Born to be him!"
"Co on! Weren't you more worried about your image?"
"Worry is a worry, idiot!"
"So you really were just more worried about yourself! Well, I understand-"
"Because it's not like we can count the days we have been together on our fingers! It's not like you went gone after three days after we started living together and getting to know each other!"
"I an, I can understand that-"
"If I weren't a hot woman with a butler and carriage and instead was so cheap commoner carrying a wagon to give a free lift to others, you would just take a ride and leave on the first occasion."
"I wouldn't even take a lift."
"Oh, wow, you don't say."
"…It's not like I don't understand…"
"Do you? Did you even hug after waking up from your inheritance? You ran toward the bathroom on your four to brush your teeth! That's how much you treasure your girlfriend! Yet, you wanted to cry over your disappearance, run into your embrace and drench your shirt with my tears, whisper lovely whispers, and whatever else you can imagine. Let's not forget about your secrets. Truly him… fuck and go, right?"
"…"
Aie chuckled, "I still like you."
"I like you, too."
-
"You know… I planned to join White Feather Guild because they're familiar with many noble families and have connections with them worldwide. That was the beginning of my royal hunter world plan," Aie said while peeking at Seraphina, who was now standing up and picking up the dead werewolf to haul it to their side.
aning Aie had only a minute or so for a talk with her beloved.
Hunter opened his wide as he heard it, "So… you gave up on your plan… because of ."
"Oh, I can bla only myself here. You made feel really warm and needed. It's not a love at first sight, too, but one you created with your personality, strength, and future prospects. I dislike and like your opportunistic heart, haha. The plan is also put on standby. I can always ditch you and go to the White Feather Guild… which I don't think I will ever do. You opened my eyes, Hunter. Just like you scread at the little girl within who hates the current royal world and dreams of creating her own royal hunting world just to beco the center of attention after years of being laughed at and scorned, you being the target of the World Order showed how little I know about the world, not just the hunter world."
Hunter narrowed his eyes, thinking that he wasn't really familiar with the hunter world, too.
At that ti, when he shouted at her for not knowing the hunter world and being just royalty, Hunter shared a little of his experience from the village, where people fought against monsters while being weaker, risking their lives.
The entire village depended on hunters, not the other way around, where nobles had their armies of strong won and male lackeys to be sacrificed.
"We both have just tasted a little of each world… I ca to so understanding, though. Being selfish is the best. Just look at those guys… they want to kill and keep half of the world's population weak because… because what, actually? And it's a wish of so spirits or whoever else! One day, a few people and spirits have decided about so many lives for their own purposes! I can only enjoy myself while being kind yet selfish, too."
Aie laughed, "You don't have to teach how to be selfish. I've always been like that. At tis, I even believed that I liked dignified principles of protecting the innocent because I was born noble and needed the crowd in my royal hunting world, nothing else."
"Right… I rember your words well. Bathing in the blood of the monsters! That's all that was on your mind, right? You didn't think of costs or other lives, just yourself and getting admired by the rest! If The Hunter World didn't have any casualties-"
Aie finished those words, "-there wouldn't be any opportunities."
These two grinned, thinking of only themselves.
In the end, those who hunted were the winners, and Hunter and Aie swore to hunt until their hearts were content and beyond, preying on others and fulfilling their ambitions!
"Can you feel all those eyes on us, Hunter?"
"Huh?"
"So you can't… maybe because my skill evolved and I received so knowledge about souls, I can feel the eyes of… absurd amount of people looking at us. Souls, I an. I can feel it while I siphon lifespan off others."
Hunter looked around and even stuffed his eyes with Strength Origin to see so souls.
In his life, he only saw Seraphina's father, no one else!
And then, sothing clicked in Hunter's mind.
[Burden the worlds with dead souls!]
That was what the madness had scread at him.
'Does it an… that… a few things were already set in motion? Are there worlds getting burned by the souls? What happens if there are too many souls? Wait! So Seraphina's father wasn't just a stubborn, strong, and overly grieving man?! Is everyone watched by soone?! Wait, what?!'
"Seems like you have so idea," Aie chuckled, "It's uncomfortable, but I never will be against so crowd."
Hunter whispered, "It's best you focus on your soul concept."
"So far, I can only take so lifespan off others… and use my own to strengthen my origins." Aie leaned closer to her boyfriend and whispered into his ear, "You can count on . This is now my S-ranked innate skill, and I'll evolve it further, making it SSS! That's when Death Queen will be at her peak form."
"Already comfortable with the title?"
"Always wanted to be a queen… being The Death Queen and The Queen Of Royal Hunting World sounds just right. But I must tell you that you're either slow or fast with your decisions…" Aie stare drew a blush out of her boyfriend, making him awkwardly scratch his hair.
Hunter laughed it off, "I'm a fast learner!"
"I don't doubt that… you can only learn fast with . It's my duty to make you into a proper man. How about you quickly tell about your secrets with Seraphina? We were pretty equal before as she's like a wild beast learning the world… but that's about to change as our innate skills connected."
Hunter pondered inwardly…
Aie chid in, "I won't interfere with your relationships. But I refuse to be just one of many. It might seem like I want to hold the reins of your future relationship, but I just want to be aware of who you're consorting with on an intimate level. It will benefit us on-"
She stopped talking, for Hunter put his hand on her head and patted her there a few tis.
"You're thinking about it from the noble perspective… but I only have you, Aie, and that's what matters now. Don't think so far ahead because I don't even know where my desire to consort with others will bring . In this world, becoming stronger and consorting with others sounded like the best things to do… and that stays true. But getting stronger unveils so much more content, just like learning about others and becoming the linchpin of their lives. These two seemingly simple desires branch out so much that I can't tell what will happen in the future. But I can tell you now with my chest that I will never treat it as a ga or so royal noble-like sche to get connections. Once I get a lady's heart, she's in selfish but good hands! I'm a kind man at the core!"
"I'm impressed…"
"Are you? Really?"
"You didn't drop that pearly smile at or even use the word 'opportunity'. My Harem God is growing up!"
"I hate! I hate when you call Harem God and idiot!"
"Can't stop myself at tis… don't think ever will."
"I'm pretty smart, you know! And what is harem god even?! How can soone be a god of harem?! For , it sounds much cringer than my opportunities phrase!"
"Cringe suits you, though?"
Tightening his grasp around her golden streaks, Hunter dropped such a strong noogie on Aie's head that she didn't even have a chance to threaten him about her hairstyle!
She just cried while shutting her eyes.
"Alright, listen here! I will be fast. I had the pleasure of speaking with Seraphina's father. I saw his soul during the yearly exam, so I know so stuff. I also have her elder sister in friends on my tablet! We exchanged selfies!"
"Poor woman… must have your pearly smile immortalized on the tablet," Aie replied with a seemingly flat and honest tone.
But inwardly, she was jealous that soone else had exchanged selfies with Hunter, yet this moron didn't even think of sending so of his selfies to her! She didn't even have a picture of him yet in her chat! Well, Aie had never thought of selfies before as she never had anyone to chat with… and Hunter was always close to her.
He perhaps thought the sa.
Still, Hunter was quite irked by that comnt!
"Aie!"
"Rember what you did before with my hair!
"I rember!"
"Dare to repeat that!"
"You think I won't dare?!"
