Chapter 474: The Forbidden Weapon, “Dark Longinus” Part II

“Don’t tell me that you’ve started liking me.”

Hearing what he repeated, Nuchjaree reached to scratch her head harshly.

“You’re either weird or delusional!” She snapped. “There’s no way I like a man from the dark side like you. Being around you feels so gloomy like it’s about to rain. So, don’t flatter yourself!”

“Surprising that we’re on the same page about this.” Sven smiled, walking closer to her slowly. “I’m not very fond of a woman with a body like a chopping board, who is always loud and stiff in manner without anything like a lady at all either. You’re also short-tempered, yelling a lot, and acting like a child.”

“Hey!!”

The one who got insulted held her fist up threateningly.

But the man only placed his hand on her shoulder in response. Nuchjaree froze, feeling like electricity rushing in her when his large hand touched her thin shoulder.

“Don’t overthink it. There’s nothing shady going on here. It’s just that being with you is fun. This is not enough reason for you?”

“...”

The girl was completely speechless. She only looked up at the man who was standing next to her right now. The smile on his face looked strangely gentler than usual as he titled his head to imply, “Let’s keep moving.” without saying anything more.

He just left the listener stunned there.

After she could get back to consciousness again, she made a clicking noise in her throat.

Her brain then came to the conclusion that, “Lost to this guy again!”

“Wait for me. I’ve never been to this place before, you know. What if I get lost?!”

“You’ll be fine. I can get you back in front of me with a quick finger snap if you do.”

“Hey! You should take care of a lady better than this!”

“So, do you want me to leave you alone, or take care of you closely again?”

“Jerk!”

----------------

“HRRR, it’s been three days already, Shin. Are you sure that Miss Snow will make it by today? Because we must get back to Alexader today, or May will screw us up.”

The restless-sounding voice rang up to open the conversation. And that was all it took to turn many pairs of eyes to look at Manoch, the speaker with glasses who was sitting on the sofa, by the head of the coffee table.

“Don’t worry. She’s going to make it in time.”

The gentle voice replied calmly.

But that could not be compared with the calmness in the mind of the man who was back to his man body again like Shindanai. He was wearing a white tank top, revealing some muscles of a healthy person. In his hand, a small, popular, detective novel was opening there.

Seeing that, Manoch snorted out of his throat.

He seemed to be a bit too carefree, this jerk!

“Come on, Mister Ae. There’s no use being hysterical right now. Just sit back and find something to do. Miss Snow will come up and tell us when she’s done.”

Another voice rang up from a corner of the room, getting those eyes behind the large, black frame glasses to turn and see Aerin bringing out some threads to knit a scarf carefreely.

The first guy was reading a novel...

This girl was knitting a scarf.

And the rest...?

“KYAAAA! Angie, that’s cheating. No using King anymore. Slamming me like that is so mean!!”

“There’s no mercy in a fight, you know. Super Dynamite Hyper Atomic Power Bomb!”

“KYAAAAA, my Jin!”

“HEHEHEHEHE.”

Player 2 Win

It seemed like he had just found the most ‘chilling’ ones here.”

They were these two girls having fun playing games in the most carefree manner, looking like they were sitting in their house, yelling and shouting in excitement as loud as they wanted!

“I won for the 9th time now, Nam.” The little mage turned to give her a sweet smile.

The one who got mocked could only squeeze the joystick in her hand tightly. The girl named Waree, who was now back in her complete girl form, looked like she was about to throw a tantrum like a spoiled kid. These girls seemed like they were still enjoying this popular fight game without minding something else at all.

Seeing that, Manoch could only huff out a sigh, fed up with them somehow.

It had been three days since Miss Snow went down to her workshop in the basement, and she never came back up to look at the sunlight since, (even though it was always nighttime in Lutier.) but at least, she should have come out to report her work progress to them and let them know how much longer it would be before the work was done sometimes, but no. After she started working, she completely shut herself out of the world!

It was not that he minded about the progress report, but this was the last day before they had to hurry back to Alexander already. Moreover, today was the last day before the game time entered ‘War Break,’ and they would all log off the game to the real world.

“I know you’re anxious, but believe me, Snow’s going to come out soon.”

Shin spoke up again carefreely. He was holding the novel book in one hand, while the other was taking a coffee cup up to his lips.

‘Yeah, bro, you’re looking real cool!’ Manoch shouted in his mind.

“I hope you’re right, Shin.” He said with a weary voice.

“Why don’t you find something to kill time?” Shin asked briefly.

“Oh, find something to do, right?” Manoch repeated in a high-pitched voice. “I’d very much appreciate it if you please look around the room, Shin.”

Heating that, Shin glanced around right away,

Then he knew what Manoch was trying to say. First of all, the biggest change in the living room of Snow’s safe house was order. It seemed like Manoch had just shoved the word ‘order’ into her house, turning this place into a whole new room.

Dust and waves were cleaned off completely. Trash such as empty bottles, cigarette studs, and dirty clothes were magically gone, leaving only a clean white room. There were flowers in the vase on the table in the living room, casting the unpleasant smell out with their good scent.

“I swept and mobbed the floor. I did the dusting and took out the trash. And I can’t believe that there’s no one among these three girls who knows how to do housework!”

Manoch shouted frustratedly, making the girls in mention let out a dry laugh. Meanwhile, Shin shook his head and snorted slightly.

KNOCK KNOCK

“Excuse me, everyone.”

It was not long after Manoch complained, the knocking sound suddenly came up from the wall a few times, before a small figure of someone appeared in front of everyone.

The slim body, dressed up in a short little maid skirt, stood in the living room’s doorway. He had blond short hair and blue eyes, looking lovely.

And that was not a misreading, the owner of the voice and this tiny figure was a ‘He.’ That was right. This person in the maid costume was a man!!

“What’s up, Tim?” Shindanai asked.

“Boss wants you all to be in the workshop, sir.”

Tim replied. And hearing that, everyone turned to glance at each other.

This blond-haired boy was Tim. He was Snow’s AI. Originally, this guy was definitely male, but Snow customized this young man to look like a tiny little girl to match her personal taste.

And it seemed like this Tim kid got used to it and he had become unconcerned about it already.

That explained why he could walk around in that tight little skirt so naturally and unbothered by other people’s eyes on him at all. Because no one would ever notice that he was a man if he did not speak.

After that, Shin got up from the chair. His hand closed the book with a PUF sound.

“Everything is complete, right?”
