Chapter 198- A New Roommate
'Fuuh, such a pain in the ass!' Rin sat down on the bed and covered his face as he fell into deep thought.
Even though he had sohow gotten out of the conversation with the upper hand, he still couldn't get rid of what the man said.
"? A demon?" He murmured in disbelief.
The words the man said resonated with him again and again, endlessly. It was as if they got engraved into his mind.
Every single mont he lived through ca back to his mory and sohow linked perfectly to create the sa answer that the man had given him. However, even if it was logical, Rin still found himself distraught.
'So, all this ti, I was fighting the origin of my own power? How ironic.' He wanted to laugh, to laugh so hard that his stomach will feel painful and his lungs will be emptied out of air.
It was that big of a joke. To live through this many things and have this conflict between what's good and what's bad. Who's the one at right and who's the one at wrong? All for it to be nothing but a joke in the end.
'Why did Lili do this?' He asked the question that led to all of this.
It was the goddess who gave him these powers even though he never knew what they are at the ti of their eting. No, before all of that even, how did she get her hands on these powers. Aren't demons the enemies of gods? Why would the shadow monarch's powers be in the hand of an enemy?
Many questions and no answers which could only make Rin feel even more frustrated than he already was.
'Fuuh, I need to calm down. Calm down, freaking out will only lead to even more trouble. This fact won't change what I will do in this war. Protecting Elise and the others is my top priority. Anything else will co after that.'
The world is still in a calm state, ignoring the minor political problems here and there… Things still didn't get blown out of proportion.
"Ugh, I guess it's ti to end my small vacation. From here on out, I will be busy to death."
"Busy with what?~ Taking care of your cute girlfriend?" Suddenly, a sweet voice reached his ear from an awfully close distance.
"Can you stop appearing in such weird ways? I would think you're a stalker." Rin said as he didn't look back.
At this point, Rin grew accustod to Evelyn's antics and her attitude. However, it's still sothing that can't let her do every single ti.
"Oh, Whyyy?~~ Are you perhaps scared that you might get your cute wife angry?" Evelyn asked as she jumped on the bed.
"No, I simply don't want any mistakes to happen." He replied casually.
Even though behind him was most likely the most seductive woman he had ever seen, he wasn't in the mood to play with her. All he wants to do was to sit alone and think for a while. But, he can't say that either as it would only sound rude.
"Hmm~? So, you're afraid a 'mistake' will happen, huh? Interesting." Evelyn's voice went from being clear to a low murmur, making Rin glance back curiously.
With her head laying on the pillow, she was let her beautiful, long hair flow on the bed. With her curvaceous body, it was impossible for a sane man to resist jumping on her and ravaging her body. However, except for simple admiration, Rin didn't really feel the urge to do any of that.
In fact, in his head, the only silhouette he could see is that of Elise. It's the only thing he could imagine
"Don't even think about it," Rin said as he squinted his eyes.
He knew what Evelyn was trying to do and he didn't want to even entertain the thought of it.
"What do you an? I'm doing nothing~~" She replied with an innocent look on her face.
"Tsk, don't act innocent now. Now, what do you really want, Evelyn? I thought you said you are going to leave for a while. It has been barely a few days"
"Hmm? Isn't a few days long enough? I already missed my friend so much~" She said.
"Sigh, fine, what's your reason for this sudden visit, my great friend Evelyn?" Rin asked as he emphasized the last four words.
"Hmm? Ok, I will tell you. But, I want you to keep it a secret."
Then, she leaned forward and whispered in Rin's ear.
"I will be living with you from now on."
"Yeah, sure, you can put the be-... Pardon?" Rin's mind halted from working as he looked at her with a confused look, clearly not registering what she said.
"Whaaaat?!" Jumping back, Rin said. "Living with ?"
"Yeaaaah~~ Fufufufu!"
Seeing how amused Evelyn was, Rin really wanted to just disbelief what she said. However, from what he is seeing, she ant what she said.
"Are you serious?"
"100%, darling.~"
"Sigh... Just for reference, where did you co up with this idea?"
"Oh? I had no place where to live so I decided to live with you. Isn't it a great idea?"
"Yeah, it is, how could it be not a great ide- Of course it's not!!"
"Huh? Why?" Evelyn feigned sadness and shock.
"What do you an 'Why?'? I can't let you live with , are you insane?"
"Hm? How so? Two friends beca roommates, is there sothing wrong about that?"
"Yeah, many things! Like the fact that I'm a man and you're a woman."
"Hmm? But, didn't you say that you will never put your hand on ?"
"Of course, I won't!"
"Then, there is nothing to worry about. I'm in your care, roommate."
"No! No! That's still not possible. I already have a girlfriend and I want to cherish her."
"Hm? How about this, then... If I talk with Elise and she allows to stay here, would you let ?"
"There is no way she would accept that!"
"Fufufu! Shall we bet then?"
