Chapter 68: Date or investigation? [2]

“So cold, I’m hurting all over Mother, Father… Big brother where are you… I’m scared,”

Possessing a terrible fever, she was faced with a horrible nightmare she was alone on the cold winter night crying out for anyone to hear her voice. till she heard a voice that answered her calls for help while she feels warm and fuzzy which was the blanket Morris placed on her body. the first thing ever laid her eyes on after a frightening nightmare was the sight of Morris hugging her that was wrapped around in the blanket that she envisioned in her dreams

“I’ll stay by your side, even when you’re hurting I won’t look away, rest assured that I will become someone that would have a special place within your heart. I’ll stand beside you with all of the trials that will test you I’ll help you and I’ll care for you so don’t cry,” Morris caressed her burning forehead before he continues to calm her down with his soothing voice reassuring her safety, without even knowing she fell asleep without any traces of her nightmares reoccurring

‘Holy shit that was close, her body was so warm I thought my libido would rise to a new level. good thing I kept my composure,’

Back to the present

“Open up Morris,” Esther avoided making any eye contact once she tries to feed him, her heart beats raising with every second her hand’s movements were wobbly along with her red face which was the result of her daring action that ended once he took a bite of her food

“Let’s switch our roles I might have my eye punctured if you’re not careful,” Morris noticed the surge of Mana building up within Esther’s hand that was transferred to the utensil which was aimed at his mouth, the Mana was enough to pierce his defense which made her do as he suggested

“Oh I’m so sorry, I’m a little out of the weather,” Esther was flustered by her actions, Morris was concerned about her well-being which made him place his chair close to her side of the table,

“It’s a little hot so don’t force yourself okay,” He took a sample of their food and blows it before he reaches for her beautiful red lips which entices him, it was hard for her to chew the food wasn’t the problem but her surroundings the light that shined upon his location which shows her the face of his grouchy comrade along with their distance that made her whole face red as an apple

On the second floor of the Cafe, Kyo min soo was happily watching the two of them have a wonderful time, even with their busy schedule which made their time together lesser than when they were a trio of mercenary

“Hahaha, I knew this was a perfect plan to get those two together, I would’ve waited, but recently Boss’s childhood friend appeared, and I can’t forget that red-headed girl, her whole body stinks of blood. if I didn’t take this chance to formulate my plan then Esther’s progression with the Boss would be for nothing, out of the three of them, Esther was the one who’s more compatible with the Boss. when I first gazed at the two of them a spark was happening, Boss was so gentle when he carried Esther on his back. a lot of women are bound to notice his greatness, so I have to work harder than ever to help her win,” Kyo misunderstood Morris’s intentions he didn’t know his true personality whatsoever as he faces a man that always had a fake smile, he disappeared and made his way to the whereabouts of the Cafe owner

‘Wow, If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m older than her I would’ve fallen for her, the vibe she’s giving off isn’t charismatic and outgoing. is this what they call Gap moe? she acts so completely different from her usual self which makes me wonder if she’s the same character I’ve written as an edgy heroine. the fact that I’ve written her design that matched my type makes this whole scenario a little troubling. Kyo’s Aura disappeared now where did he go,’

After they spent their time alone inside the Cafe, they waited for the owner to appear in front of them. only to be greeted by Kyo min soo that obtained their clue, Morris and Esther stayed silent for the rest of their journey, they both have undergone a stimulating situation where they were inexperienced. the place that the owner had spoken about was a popular tourist attraction that was a couple’s favorite. she explained that she heard the noise close to this location

“Now that I’ve looked at these Commission’s history of failed attempts, in the earlier stages it wasn’t that easy but as they venture deeper into the mystery they were only given two choices. one was to flee and never return and two is their survival, most of the ones that progressed further witnessed their companion’s end, and only a few survived along with some missing limbs,” Morris read every report that the Guildhall was able to gather from those who witnessed their comrade’s death they gave a warning to any that will try in clearing this Commission

“High risk and high return, this is the reason why Kyo suggested that the three of us should take this Commission for ourselves. out of everyone on the team, our teamwork and synergy with one another are higher than combined with the rest. also, the fact that this Commission’s highest progression rate was only 39% we can’t invite any of our under-leveled members to join us,” Esther entered the amusement park that had a ton of rides along with their goal to find their next clue within this place

‘So that’s the reason why they were in a hurry to start the investigation, but I’m a little confused if Kyo min soo could enter the owner and interrogate her without our help. then why was I subjected to that sort of situation, Esther’s out of the picture she couldn’t plan this her face was flustered at any given time. So, it was Kyo? I gotta say I never thought that he’s a cunning little boy, or was this a part of his personality I don’t know the answer since I never worked on his personality only his achievement and power that was mentioned,’

“I’m getting some goosebumps It’s time for the Felgir Trio to make their way into solving this mystery,” Kyo jumps around as the three of them goes on their regular adventures with the three of them united

“Kyo I’ve already told you that’s not the name of our mercenary group,” Esther replied in his inaccurate title

“Wait, I kind of forgot about our name, Boss can you tell me again, it was a little hard to remember that name you’ve chosen,”

“A name that’s rather commonly known as a mystery, a symbol of our goals to take the rewards and leave not a single clue for the unwanted individuals remain in the background and watch from afar. a group of people that aims to achieve the most incredible feat in the trials seek not glory nor fame, but rewards that come with our journey a mercenary group called Enigma,”
