BXBX NOVEL 263 Chapter 263
They aren\'t stupid or anything like that and they understand quite well the consequences of slaking off just because they love him.
"Did you get it?" Acht asked.
"I guess… This is really hard. It\'s pointless too! Is learning how an object falls due to gravity will help me kill an A-grade beast or level up?"
"It helps open your clogged brain!" Acht bonked her on the head with his fist lightly.
"Ouch! I might actually die from the number of fists I got to my skull!!" She protested loudly as she grabbed Acht\'s arm and lay on his lap.
"That\'s because you don\'t listen to my words. I have been explaining this same thing for the past hour."
"Pfft, moron. I could solve that with my toes while I\'m asleep." Leislet chuckled mockingly as she sipped her beer beside them.
"Shut up, big-tittied bitch." Mia averted her gaze and muttered.
"What did you say?!"
"Wanna fight?"
The two stood up and pulled out their weapons as they positioned themselves. However, such behavior could only be stopped by Acht who said calmly.
"Fight and I will kick both of you out."
"Tsk. Luckily, Acht saved your ass."
"I will cut off those massive lumps of meat of yours. Don\'t forget to thank me for helping you get rid of useless stuff." Mia retorted as she stored her sword again and sat beside Acht.
"Sigh, my head hurts. I seriously will need therapy because of you." He said as he rubbed his temples slowly.
"Anyway, let\'s finish this part and then eat dinner. Tania, what do you want?"
"4-seasons soup!!" She said with her eyes glistening with excitement.
"I will help you." Leislet raised her hand and stood up along with Acht.
"Complete that part while I start preparing dinner. No mistakes, got it?"
"Yeeeees." Mia slumped her body on the table with a lazy look. She really didn\'t like studying at all and would rather fight a swarm of dangerous monsters than solve a math equation or read a book.
"I will help too," Scarlett said.
The three then walked to the kitchen and started preparing dinner. Mia was a really good cook and she would\'ve been normally the one that should be helping Acht in making dishes but because she needed to study, he had to rely on Scarlett and Leislet. The problem in that however was…
"Acht? Should I throw this in there?"
"Huh? Of course not. Peele the potato off first!!"
However, before he could even stop her, she already put it in the boiling pot. Acht could not help but shake his head with an exasperated sigh. He thought that he would age at least 30 years purely from sighing this much.
"Don\'t do anything until you ask me ok?" He ordered Leislet.
"Acht, is this good enough?" Scarlett spoke as she pointed at what seemed to be a pepper or what was left of it at least. It seemed that Scarlett had actually thrown away everything from the pepper except the seeds.
"What the hell is that?"
"It\'s a pepper that was peeled off."
"Not everything is peeled off! I am sure I taught you this before!"
Acht had no idea how these two were able to live alone for the longest time. They are basically useless when it comes to cooking.
As he was having such thoughts, he heard the doorbell.
\'Who is coming here at such an hour?\' He thought as he looked at Leislet and Scarlett. Both of them nodded their heads and walked to the living room.
Acht then walked to the door and asked."
"Who is it?"
However, no one answered his call. What was even weirder was that he could not sense a presence behind the door at all. He could only count a handful of people that are capable of evading his detection so close to him.
So, he put his sword in his hand and then his other hand on the handle before taking a deep breath. Twisting the handle ever so slowly, he opened the door. For a few seconds, the only sound he could hear was the door as it moved and screeched slightly.
Then, in one single sweep, he opened the door fully and moved his sword at the speed of light toward whatever target was behind the door. He wasn\'t intending to strike but just threaten the person behind the door.
"Huh?"
When he saw the person on the other side of the door he could only make a stupid sound as his eyes widened in surprise.
"Yo… It\'s been a while, little shit."
"Lein?" He muttered her name with a confused look. She was the last person he expected to see behind the door but thinking about it, she was a master of hiding her presence and it was normal for him to not sense her even if he was stronger than her.
"It\'s me. What? You are that happy to see me?" She replied with a grin.
"What are you doing here?"
"I had to search for you for years, little shit. It\'s as if you were erased from existence."
"I was… living my life." He said.
He still couldn\'t believe that it was Lein. The same Lein that would kill him in the spur of the moment was totally different. Her aura, her demeanor, and even her tone of speaking, they were all different than before… drastically different.
She was even grinning when she spoke to him.
"Anyway, can I come inside? I have things to talk about. We can catch up over a few drinks." In her hand was a flask that was most likely filled with alcohol.
Acht peeked behind him before shaking his head.
"Wait here for a moment." He said.
He then walked inside quickly, the others most likely heard the conversation and he felt a bad omen because of it. Especially Leislet and Scarlett, they knew very well who this person was and he was sure they won\'t welcome her happily.
But, it seems that he was a little bit too late since the moment he stepped inside the living room, Leislet passed beside him in a flash as she charged toward Lein.
"You fucking b*tch!!" Her glare could kill from how cold it was.
She was seething with anger the moment she saw Lein and couldn\'t hold herself at all. This woman needs to die… Now!
