( The True Elites Guild Headquarters, The Upside )
As soon as Rocky walked into the True Elites Guild headquarters, he was tackled by Alia into a bear hug as she buried her face in Rocky's chest.
It was an unexpected event for Rocky, as with all the Climbers still being at Ground Zero for the after-war celebrations and the Guild Office officially shut, he did not expect anyone to be at the Guild Headquarters today.
What was even more surprising to him was that instead of Neatwit and Karna, Alia decided to hug him first, as although Rocky embraced her gently, he could not discern the reason behind this show of emotion.
*Sob*
*Sob*
Eventually, Alia began sobbing, as although she did not say a word, she began soiling Rocky's fresh pair of clothes as she poured her heart out.
Gently stroking her hair, Rocky waited for her to calm down, while Neatwit and Karna looked towards the ceiling of the guild, suddenly noticing its fine details.
"Rocky…." Alia said weakly, as she looked up towards him with teary eyes.
"Yes, big sister…." Rocky said, with a gentle smile on his face as he tried his best to look upbeat, although he felt dead tired on the inside.
"Thank you for leading the armies that saved Karna….." Alia said, as Rocky could barely contain his laugh as he threw a glance towards Karna who began blushing red.
"I don't know why that fool jumped into a sea of undead alone, however, when I saw him fighting there all alone over the screen, I felt my heart breaking to pieces ... .I-I, thought we would lose him…" Alia said, as she once again began sobbing and buried her face into Rocky's chest.
"It's okay, big sister, I only did what vice guild master was already planning to do. He wouldn't have let Guildmaster Karna die anyways" Rocky said, as Neatwit coughed, while Karna began noticing the intricate details on the floor joints below his feet, his ears blood red from this conversation.
"Only…. Only after Neatwit and the others ca to his aid, and I saw the guild rally around him did I breathe a sigh of relief.
I-I wouldn't know what I would do without him.
I'm just so happy he's safe….. as I promised to the Gemini Gods that if he returns to alive after this war, the first thing I'm doing is thanking you and the second thing I'll do is telling him how I really feel about him-" Alia said, as she pushed away from Rocky a bit and wiped her tears.
"Oh? When did you grow so tall? Haha, you look so big and handso now-" Alia said, as Rocky flexed both his biceps to Alia, but later gestured to her to go talk with Karna, which was the second point on her agenda.
Already red with sha, the sa Guild Master who was fighting with three swords in the battlefield slaying undead after undead now beca utterly helpless, as he awaited the scolding of a lifeti.
"Karna…. You always ask why I work this shitty job in this guild right? Why do I work 18, sotis 20 hours a day here like a maniac, instead of hiring more people to make my job easier?" Alia asked, as she walked closer to Karna, and pulled on the tape that was bandaging his chest and bruised ribs.
Karna winced, the tape being pulled made his ribs hurt, however, he still bowed lower and let himself be pulled so that he could be eye to eye with Alia.
"I work this shitty job, only because of you! Because I love you….." Alia confessed as Karna's face turned redder than a tomato.
"Your mory is like that of a goldfish. Without constantly taking care of you and micromanaging your life, you can't do anything right, however, I still do it with joy, because I love you...
I do love this guild, however, most people here, especially that asshole Neatwit who never shows up is insufferable.
I'm not a climber, I'm not as strong as you guys, maybe I'm not even worthy of becoming the girlfriend of Earth's strongest warrior, but I don't care about all of it anymore.
Today, as I thought I might lose you, I realized that my life would beco too empty without you-
That I can't live without you.
So I'm confessing my love to you today…. Do whatever you want with it now" Alia said, rather aggressively, as she let go of Karna's tape and began sniveling like a helpless rabbit.
Taking her into a solid hug, Karna embraced her. Whispering sweet words in her ears, as he happily accepted her love.
He too had solid feelings for Alia, but because of the professional boundaries that their posts demanded, he never made his move.
However, today as Alia confessed first, he felt extrely happy and relieved by this revelation as he accepted her love with joy.
As the duo's hug broke out into shaless kissing, Neatwit slinged his arm around Rocky and dragged him away to give the two space.
"Oh Rocky? Have you seen the place where the guild stores potions? My god, it's such a cool room with lots of refreshnt potions.
Co let's drink one or two, I'm sure so of us are tired…." Neatwit said, as Rocky chuckled and followed him, giving the couple space.
Although this was not an event that Rocky had expected at all, sohow watching Karna and Alia end up as a couple, he felt incredibly warm and fuzzy from within.
On a personal level, he liked them both and genuinely hoped that they would have a great future ahead as a true power couple.
"Fuck …. Even Karna got a girl now, I'm the only one left in the bachelor gang now…." Neatwit murmured to himself as he seed more pissed by the fact that Karna was not single anymore, rather than the fact that Alia blatantly called him an insufferable asshole during her confession.
