Chapter 47: Chapter 47

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

As Claire was gasping for air, she still tried to talk. I only looked at her.

"You’re the real demon..."

[She’s right!]

Cough!

Cough!

"I have a... favor to ask you... Please... say sorry... to Cypher.. for me..."

Gasp!

She drew her final breathe before slowly becoming a red dust.

’Whew finally! The hunt’s over.’

I finally laid on the floor while wiping my sweat. It was no joke, flying in the air while checking the balcony one by one on where Cypher’s room might be.

’D@mn, my luck stat is really good, after the fifth try of checking the balconies, I carelessly opened one of the balcony and spotted Claire.’

How’s Cypher doing anyway? He must also be tired after fighting Claire.

She stood up and went to where Cypher is. He was just lying on the floor, his breathing was heavy. After noticing that his face is red, I immediately held out my hand to check if he’s having a fever.

"Cypher? Are you okay? You’re burning up."

No answer. It seems that he passed out. I’ll just carry him and lay him down.

"Ugh! You’re... Too heavy!" free𝑤ebnovel.com

I sling his one arm in my shoulder then I held his waist.

"Just a little more."

We were near his bed when he suddenly moved and hugged me. Startled, I lost my footing as we both fell on the ground. My wound on my stomach seemed to have reopened again.

"F*c-!"

Her words have been cut short as burning soft lips covered her mouth. Her eyes went wide on the sudden action.

"Umm! Shtop!"

She tried to open her mouth to speak again.

"Cyp-"

Her thinking seemed to stop functioning as a tongue slithered inside her mouth.

[Brain.exe stopped working.]

I tried to break free from him but he was still hugging me so it’s no use.

’I must stop him.’

She must resist that sweet lips of his as their tongue entangled with each other. I moaned.

"Mmm."

I freaking moaned! That seemed to startle me up as I evaded my face at him and kept my mouth shut.

I was feeling victorious when he stopped and just stared at me. The moment I stared back at his eyes, I now knew what’s causing him to do this.

’That damn Claire! She injected an aphrodisiac to Cypher!’

Before I could talk some sense to him, he buried his face in my neck and sniffed me.

"Thank goodness it’s over. Cypher can you get off me-ummm."

I suddenly felt something wet and it felt like he was sucking me.

"Wo-woah hey! That hurts!"

Before we could regret anything, I used my last ounce of mana and head-butted him. That seemed to finally wake him up as he groaned and touched his head.

"R-remi?"

Upon noticing that he was on top of me, he immediately stood up and backed away from me.

Of course I can’t stand since I just used my remaining mana to headbutt him!

"How did you get here?"

"Through your balcony."

He immediately took out his sword.

"How did you even get there? Wait- where’s Claire? I didn’t know that she was a Rogue so I was caught off guard."

"Don’t worry, she’s dead already. Can you see that red dust scattered all over the floor? Apparently, after I killed her, she became like that."

"You’re the one here?"

"Do you see any person besides us?"

He shooked his head.

"By the way, why are you still lying there?"

"I used my last ounce of mana to wake you up. Help me lay down on your bed."

"U-uhm what happened? Why was I on top of you?"

"Claire injected you an aphrodisiac that’s why it seems that you were out of your mind a while ago so I had no choice but to headbutt you."

"O-oh about that I’m sorry for what I did to you. It’s just that the aphrodisiac-"

"No worries it’s fine besides it’s the Aphrodisiac’s fault that made you like that earlier."

"Right..."

An awkward silence enveloped their surroundings.

"Ehem! Can we talk about this tomorrow? I’m really tired right now."

"Okay then."

As soon as the door closed, she tried to pull her hair but she was still paralyzed.

’My god, what did you do Remillia? Did I just kissed him back?’

No, it’s okay. It’s just the spur of moment, I’m sure Cypher didn’t also want that. He doesn’t even like me, we’ll just pretend that we didn’t kissed.

[It’s called making out.]

’You’re not helping!’

What should I do tomorrow? Should I act normal? What should I say to him?

She soon drifted to sleep due to exhaustion.

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

On the other side of the room, Cypher couldn’t help but think what happened earlier.

Those sultry eyes, luscious lips, her sweet scent, her labored breathing, her moans...

He tightly clenched his eyes closed as he tried to erase those memories.

’Why did I lost control? I didn’t even lost control when Claire tried to sexually harass me. So why?’

He suddenly remembered Remillia’s wounds when he carried her.

"D@mn it."

He was so flustered about their make out session that he forgot to ask how her wounds were.

He grabbed a towel and a basin with cold water then he softly knocked at his bedroom.

"Remi? You awake yet?"

He opened the door when he heard no answer. He placed the basin on the floor as he soaked the towel with water then he proceeded to wipe her bloodied face.

As he was wiping her face, he can’t help but stare at her lips again.

’Snap out of it!’

It took all of his willpower to not kiss her again. Instead, he focused on the wound on her stomach.

’Thank god it stopped bleeding.’

After wiping the dried blood, he went outside again to get the first aid kit and bandaged Remi’s wounds. He went to his closet to grab a pair of fresh clothes and laid it down on the bedside table.

He glanced at Remi one last time before heading outside and went to sleep on the sofa.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

He woke up from the sound of his alarm. It was already 6 in the morning. He went to check if Remillia was okay now but as he opened the door, his room was clean. He only found a piece of note on the bed.

————————————

Cypher, thanks for letting me sleep here and also for bandaging my wounds. I didn’t wake you up to say goodbye since you look tired.

P.S. Thanks for the clothes, I’ll wash it up then return it to you.

————————————

He looked at the calendar, it’s Friday. He’ll see her later again anyway.

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

Remillia left Cypher’s room exactly at 5:30 A.M, wearing his clothes. She didn’t wake him up since she’s still embarrassed about what happened yesterday.

She emptied her thoughts as she breathed in and out.

’There is no time for that. I need to get stronger instead.’

Upon remembering her fight with the Rogue yesterday, she realized that she’s still lacking in terms of defense.

’Hayss so much for protecting the main characters. Who should I protect next... Whitney?’

I give up protecting them anymore, it’s very tiring especially since I was the one doing all the action.

’Also, why are they so weak? They should have awakened this part of the novel already.’

Notifications popped up in front of me, interrupting my thoughts.

[Congratulations on singlehandedly taking down ’Child of Khaoskha’

Reward: 1,000 PP]

[Three points have been added in mental attribute: Charm.

Total points: 5/10]

[Due to taking down one of Khaoskha’s child, you are now immune to incubus and succubus’ charm.]

’I take it back, I’ll even be their shield if they ever get in danger again. Whoo! Look at these rewards!’

She was smiling from ear to ear and was about to go back to sleep when a notification popped up again this time, it’s her smartwatch.

{You didn’t forget about today, don’t you? Meet me in my room at 9 AM, we have a lot to discuss.}

’Calm down, it must be something else. Just forget about what happened.’

I didn’t reply, instead I went back to sleep again but before that I reminded Macaron.

"Macaron you know the drill, wake me up at 9 AM."

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

<-It’s already 9:05! I’ve been shouting 5 minutes ago!>

"Five more minutes..."

Within those five minutes, no matter what Macaron did, his master won’t wake up. However he did the unthinkable, he became bigger, opened the balcony and grabbed his master’s both arms then he flew outside.

’Something’s not right.’

As I opened my eyes, I shouted.

"HOLY SH-"

I looked up at Macaron.

"DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO THIS?!"

<This is what I do whenever you won’t wake up.>

It’s true, Macaron would result to tricks just to wake up, splashing cold water on my body, suffocating me using his fat body, put a megaphone on my ear and blast loud music, these are the things that he would often do to me but later on, I got immune to it. And now he found a new way to wake me up.

"Let me down now, make sure that others won’t see you when we enter the room."

<Okie.>

I didn’t have the time to fix myself as I made myself a sandwich.

"Make sure the room’s clean. I don’t have the time to tidy it myself."

Then she closed the door as she ran towards the elevator. Macaron just sighed as his master’s laziness.

<She’s strong but lazy to do the chores hayss.>

As the elevator opened up, her eyes met with Edge.

’This is my first time bumping into Edge.’

She walked in and was about to click the 30th floor but it was already lit up.

’Maybe he will be meeting somebody in the same floor as mine.’

I was busy munching my sandwich when I caught him staring at me.

"What?"

Edge didn’t answer instead he pointed at the elevator buttons.

"Floor?"

"Oh, I’m also going to the 30th floor."

Silence enveloped us again.

’His saliva would spoil if he will keep his mouth shut all the time.’

Ding!

By the time I finished my sandwich, we already arrived at the 30th floor.

He was the first to step out and went on his way. I also followed where he went. After ten seconds, he turned his back and faced me.

"Do you have something to say?"

"Why would I say something to you?"

"Why the hell are you following me?"

"And why the hell would I follow you?"

I replied his question by another question. That seemed to tick him off.

"Just answer me."

We glared at each other then I knocked the door at our side.

Cypher was the one who opened it.

"See? I’m visiting someone. How about you?"

"Same reason."

Cypher interrupted our conversation.

"Remi, Edge let’s go inside. We were waiting the two of you."

I stared at him cluelessly.

"This guy too?"

"I have a name."

"Don’t care."

We were about to argue to each other again when Cypher just pushed us inside.

It seems that we’ll be having a ’group study’. Angela, Whitney, Christian, and Rex including the three of us. That makes a total of seven members.

Upon seeing me, Angela stood up and questioned me.

"How are your wounds?"

"How are your wounds?"

Cypher who just entered after locking the door also asked the same question.

Angela and Cypher looked at each other with questioning eyes before looking at me again.

"My wounds are fine now, thanks to Cypher."

Whitney can’t help her curiosity so she asked me.

"Wounds? What wounds?"

"I was attacked by a Rogue and -"

Cypher and Angela talked at the same time again.

"Angela, why didn’t you tell me you got attacked by a Rogue?"

"I was talking to Remillia? Not you guys?"

This time, Edge and Whitney talked at the same time.

’Well, this is giving me a headache.’

"I-oof!"

Edge pushed me aside as he rushed towards Angela and examined her wounds.

"I’m fine, thanks to Remillia saving me yesterday, I wouldn’t have been alive today."
