“After the eting, I was a little worried that sothing might happen between you and Anabelle, so I ca to look for you,” Daniel said with a concerned face.r
“A-ah, is that so…?” lissa laughed awkwardly.r
Dani nodded affirmatively, moving closer to lissa with his usual charming gait. His well-built body and youthful exuberance made him admired by most, even now during the Apocalypse.r
“It turns out I was right. Sothing definitely happened for you to look so annoyed.” He whispered.r
Gripping lissa by the waist and drawing her closer to himself so he could sll and hold her in his arms, Daniel smiled and closed his eyes charmingly.r
“Talk to , babe. What happened this ti?”r
lissa felt her annoyance slowly ease away, and her fear dissipated. Now that she was with her man, nothing would hold her back.r
“Those bastards nearly killed ! Shit, if I hadn’t erected my shield on ti, Ana would have bashed her fist into my face with her Gift.” lissa bawled.r
Daniel was surprised to hear this, It wasn’t like Ana or any of her group mbers to act in such a way. They were known to be rash and impulsive, but their team was highly respectable and abided by the rules of the camp.r
‘Was lissa exaggerating things?’ Daniel thought to himself.r
“Are you sure you didn’t do anything to tick them off?” Daniel muttered hesitantly.r.
He instantly regretted doing that.r
“Uhhhh?! Are you seriously taking their side right now? Are you saying that I’m lying?!” lissa blurted out, removing herself from Daniel’s embrace in a fit.r
‘Shit, I shouldn’t have said anything…’ He grumbled internally.r
“They nearly killed your girl, and the first thing you do is bla ? How dare you, Daniel! Even when Charles told to beg Ana for the Ogre’s Demon Core skill, you didn’t stand up for . Do you know the kind of humiliation I went through?!” lissa began barking.r
“H-hold on, lissa. That wasn’t what happened. I even tried-“r
Before Daniel could speak, she bombarded him with more accusations.r
“Even though I always sacrifice leveling up for the sake of the team all the ti, even though I overexert myself for your sake and the people of the camp despite my weak constitution, why am I treated this way?” r
Daniel decided that it was best for lissa to let it all out, besides… even if he didn’t want it, she was going to keep talking anyway.r
“A-and even when I try getting a skill that will benefit all of us in the group, and the Camp as a whole, no one is on my side. It’s not fair… It’s… It’s just not fair!” r
Her whining kept ringing in Daniel’s head as he patiently tolerated it. lissa, who had moved away from his embrace, slowly returned, banging her hands on his chest as she rested on them.r
Her attempt at sobbing was poor, but Daniel accepted it nonetheless.r
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have ignored your feelings like that.” He whispered kindly, rubbing her long hair as he tightly gripped her.r
His comfort was all she needed at this ti… as well as his sympathy.r
‘As long as he feels bad for and loves , Daniel will always co to my help! Just you wait, Anabelle, Jeremy, all of you… there’s no one stronger than my boyfriend around!’ lissa grinned internally.r
“What ca over them though? I wonder why they would just attack you so suddenly… maybe they were ntally exhausted after their expedition…?” Daniel mumbled.r
“No, that’s not it. It’s that bastard, Jeremy that instigated them. I can’t believe that soone as pathetic as him could suddenly appear and sohow convince Ana to take his side…” r
lissa’s eyes bulged the mont those words escaped from her mouth.r
‘Shit! What have I done?!’ Her mind rang.r
She had thoughtlessly said sothing she shouldn’t have… she had ntioned Jeremy!r
“J-Jeremy…? the sa one we used to know? H-he’s here…?” Daniel suddenly said.r
His voice sounded serious, and completely different from the collected and caring tone he had used just monts ago.r
‘I ssed up!’ lissa thought in worry.r
Daniel retracted himself from her as soon as she tried clasping him deeper into their embrace. r
“W-wait Daniel, he’s not exactly how we used to know him. Jeremy has sohow-“r
lissa stopped as soon as she looked at Daniel’s facer
His countenance had changed, turning into the expression she hated to see the most. At this point, she knew he wasn’t going to listen to proper reasoning.r
“Where is he? Did you say he was with Ana?” Daniel asked anxiously.r
His fists were clenched and his body slightly shook due to the emotion welling up within him.r
“Y-yeah… b-but, Daniel-“r
“Then I have to go see him now, don’t you think?” Daniel said, turning away from lissa.r
‘Shit! If I don’t do sothing now, then…’ Her thoughts rang.r
Quickly running past Daniel in the hallway, she appeared in front of him to intercept his advance.r
“What are you doing lissa? I have to-” r
“No! Don’t do that Daniel. Not tonight. He’s pretty shaken up… plus, he’s very exhausted. Everyone in the team is also on edge… now wouldn’t be the best ti…” She spoke softly.r
‘Please agree, please agree!’ She desperately pleaded internally, while gazing at him with an equally pleading look.r
There was a bit of tension in the air as both of them engaged in an unofficial staring contest. After so monts considering her words, Daniel sighed.r
“Yes. You’re right. I should probably wait until tomorrow. Now isn’t the best ti…” He answered in a deflated tone.r
“Y-yeah. Not now…”r
‘Please, not ever too!’ She scread internally.r
“You seem tired, Daniel. You need to rest.” lissa said in a soft and caring voice, caressing Daniel’s chest which seed to make him calm down.r
He was finally returning to his normal self, a state which she could manipulate.r
“Yeah. I actually kind of am. We should return to the apartnt and rest.” He smiled weakly.r
‘Whew… that was a close one.’ She heaved in relief.r
Looking at Daniel’s face, she focused her eyes and his Status Introduction appeared, making her clench her fist in anger at what she saw.r
The very thing that made Daniel change so much… his Alignnt!r
