"And you didn’t even blush? Your heart didn’t skip a beat? No avoiding eye contact? NOTHING?!"
"Nothing." I answered Limitless calmly, but inwardly, I knew that whatever made him stop eating to yell at was serious.
Limitless cald himself down then fell into silence with closed eyes.
He was likely thinking about sothing, so I decided to wait patiently. After a few minutes, he finally opened his mouth.
"Obviously, definitely, and absolutely that girl loves you! Listen, everything you said she did ans nothing other than she trusts and genuinely loves you. You are really naive if you didn’t get all those hints until this mont."
I scratched my neck, feeling so embarrassnt.
I always hated when the "naive" protagonists of novels didn’t get the hints until very late in the story. A few tis, I was so frustrated that I gave negative reviews for that.
But did I just beco the very thing I hated the most?
I felt... sha. That wasn’t a good feeling at all.
"It’s not my fault when she rarely shows emotions! What am I supposed to understand after seeing her with the sa smile all the ti?"
Hearing my excuse, he yelled: "Not everything shows on the face. You of all people should know this! The only ti you showed emotions was when you tortured !"
As much as I hated to admit it, he was right.
I rarely showed my real emotions on my face, so why would Selene show hers? And who said that she had to act like the shy ani girls to show her love?
Limitless rubbed his temple before saying: "As for you, I don’t think you love her the sa way... not yet at least. The future is unknown for you."
"Huh?"
Honestly, I expected the first part, but what did he an by the second one?
Seeing my confusion, Limitless explained: "There is no such thing as romantic love at first sight, so it’s normal to not love her imdiately. Your actions suggest that you love her deeply, but like a close friend, not soone you can’t live without."
I kept nodding as he continued: "I’ll be honest with you. You will either end up seeing her as a future wife, or in the worst case, as a sister. Don’t accept her love if you don’t see her the sa way, this will cause more harm to both of you. I hate to tell you that, but.... Be ready to tell her the painful truth if you end up seeing her as a sister."
We both sighed at the sa ti, but not in relief.
I really started hating all this stuff about love, why couldn’t it be a simple emotion? Why couldn’t it be more direct?
I couldn’t imagine the headache it would give to soone with emotional affinity. I was glad I didn’t have to deal with such an affinity.
I looked at Limitless again, seeing him ignoring while eating, and asked: "What should I do then? How will I know the way I see her?"
Limitless shrugged. "From my experience, you will know instinctively. As for what you should do now, my advice is just don’t rush. I heard that so people may need years to develop their feelings toward soone close to them. Oh, and rember, don’t hesitate to tell her the truth as any delay may cause harm."
I nodded in understanding before snapping my fingers dramatically, and the next mont, a spatial gate appeared beside Limitless.
He looked at it with confusion, then I smiled and said: "Thank you for your help, Limitless. This is your way out. This gate will send you directly to the tower, so you can quickly return to your girlfriend as she must be sad alone there."
Limitless’s eyes widened in guilt as he quickly stood up. "Yeah, thank you. Oh, and I should feed her sothing good as an apology, right?
The mont he said that, he winked and did sothing that made almost cast a cosmic beam on him.
He took the food.
Including the fucking plates! When the fuck had I allowed him to do that?!
Despite my anger, I decided to let him take them as he imdiately went into the gate. When his figure went to the other side, I closed it imdiately.
I was now left on the third floor alone without the food, thinking deeply about my emotions.
’Breaking her heart, ha?’
I really didn’t want to do that, but if I didn’t love her the sa way she did in the end, then I wouldn’t hesitate to do that. As he said, delaying that would cause more harm.
Thankfully, I didn’t have to think about that now. Who knows? I might really love her as much as she loved , so it was better to not rush and ignore her love for now. He said I’d known that instinctively, which was fortunately sothing I was experienced with.
As for if Limitless was a reincarnator or not, he didn’t react to my hints at all, so I was going to ignore him for now and move to another potential reincarnator.
Obviously, I was going to start with the one closest to .
’Hey Aria.’
I called Aria imdiately, and I didn’t have to wait for too long as her voice ca in an instant.
—What? Did sothing happen?
I asked: ’Do you know anything about sothing called Victorian style? It’s sothing about steam energy.’
—No, it’s my first ti hearing about that. Where did you hear about that? And is this sothing important?
Her answer ca almost instantly, without a hint of hesitation, suggesting that she really didn’t know about it.
Isaac said that the reincarnators didn’t seem to be from the sa world, so I couldn’t confirm it by just that, but that was good as a start.
Shaking my head, I responded: ’I read that word in a book yesterday and it confused . Ignore what I said.’
—Was... was there a warning in the book? What type of book did you read exactly?
’Huh?’
What did she an by that? What would a warning an?
Wait, was she thinking about...
—Ray, I’m your sister, you can be honest with . I... understand that you may be curious at this age. Especially when soone like Zephyr is your friend.
Yeah fuck that, she got the wrong idea!
Did she spend a lot of ti with Zephyr? Her mind was becoming dirty like his!
I spent a few minutes convincing her that I wasn’t that type of person, she was really hard to convince, then I started thinking about my next move.
’Should I just go train for now, talk with another suspected girl?’
The mont I thought about that, many emotions hit at the sa ti as Glutton suddenly spoke.
[What, what about coming here to see that?]
I raised an eyebrow, knowing so well that he’d see that, and asked: ’To see what? Did Selene do sothing to you?’
[Selene? No, we can’t let her see that! Co here quickly, I’m becoming an adult! An adult!!]
My eyes widened instantly as I quickly made a gate and jumped into it.
Damn, that was too sudden! That bastard should have told before eating anything!
Due to excitent, I couldn’t help but run to him with many questions in my mind.
’What abilities will he unlock? What will I get as feedback? What will both of us get as shared abilities? How strong will we beco?’
As I went into the elevator, a surge of knowledge suddenly entered my head.
’Fuck! Couldn’t you have waited a few minutes?’
I felt like a father that couldn’t see his son taking his first step. I really wanted to see the mont of his evolution.
[Why would I wait? Did you get any knowledge? I’m feeling really great!]
I focused on the knowledge I received and my jaw fell as I understood his feelings.
Now, I really had to see him quickly.
A few monts later, the elevator stopped on my floor as I quickly moved to the door. I quickly opened the door and quietly moved to the training room, ensuring that Selene wouldn’t hear anything.
Even Zephyr didn’t know everything about Glutton. I wasn’t planning to reveal everything about him as he was my secret weapon and ally.
As soon as I entered the training room, my eyes widened as I instantly closed the door.
"Shit!"
I cursed as I felt the crap that was in the room.
It was radiation.
No corner in this wide room was safe from the cosmic radiation. I understood now why he didn’t want Selene to be here. This amount of radiation could have hard even a dragon like her!
In the middle of the room sat a naked man with a wide smile on his face.
"The power... I feel the POWER! I HAVE THE POWER!! HAHAHAHA!!!"
Yeah, that was definitely Glutton.
