Chapter 148 - First Mission {bonus }
*Click
I opened my eyes from my slumber meditation with a tinge of annoyance and looked towards the front door that was currently opening up for someone to walk through. Since I could see through the walls, I could easily tell who it was, yet even before that I could feel her presence when she was at the building's reception, but I could not be arsed getting up and saying hello at all.
While before it was her soul that I was detecting, now I could see the outline of her body, soul flame, and soul channels as well as the mana heart and her mana channels. The outline alone was able to remind me why I considered her one of the hottest and most beautiful people in the world, while my heart could not help but feel a tinge of unrest as it beat faster.
Suddenly, however, she looked at me through the walls before announcing her presence by saying
"You are finally awake?
"
Raising an eyebrow at her remark, I could not help but chuckle and retort
"Of course I am awake. Do I look like someone who would sleep for more than 3 days?
"
"Yes,
" She replied nonchalantly while opening the door to my bedroom. However, one thing she was not ready for was the blood-stained floors, carpets, walls, and curtains to greet her almost immediately. The shock had caused her to stop for a single second before regaining her composure and asking in a slightly worried tone
"What is the meaning of this?
"
"Oh, this? I just went out for a walk
" I smiled
"A walk?
" She showed a doubting face
"Yep!
" My smile did not fade for a second.
"I see. And what do the bodies have to does all this blood have to do with the walk? You do know murder is a crime, right?
" she dropped the bag she was holding and dropped it on the floor before crossing her arms.
"Really? Didn't know. Don't worry though, I leave no evidence
" Suddenly, a dark blue flame combusted onto the blood incinerating it instantly and leaving no trace of it behind. Well, no trace of it behind if you do not count the metallic scent in the room. However, at the same time, it seemed like I could not control the flames well enough, accidentally scorching and burning a part of the curtain, carpet, and walls.
"Ah! Whoops
" I scratched my cheek awkwardly
"I am not going to pay for your berserk fire use. What kind of idiot uses such powerful flames on bloodstains?
" I could visibly see her eye twitch
"You think my fires are strong? Aww. Thanks
" I blushed and looked to the side as if embarrassed by her 'compliment'
"I'm not complimenting you...
" She looked like she had given up
"You aren't?
" I pouted.
"No...
" Not an ounce of guilt could be seen on her face
"Oh well. Anyway, why are you here?
" tilted my head a few degrees to the left
"This is my home...
" Her monotone voice echoed in my ears while her piercing gaze could have killed me a thousand times if stares could kill.
"This is your home...?
" Her words seemed to have not fully soaked into my head yet, making me repeat her statement while my mind started to work at 160 Miles per hour.
"Yes. My home, not yours
" She replied with a stoic expression
"oh... That would make sense. May you take me to my apartment then?
" the smile returned to my face as if what she had just said did not matter to me.
"...
"
"What?
"
"There are no other apartments in the upper city that can accompany you, and I'm worried if I make you live in an apartment in the lower districts that you would go on a killing spree, which is also something I do not want. My guild has a reputation you know...
" She sighed
"So??? Where am I going to live?
"
"Right here
"
"Right here... Question mark?
"
"Yes, right here. In this apartment where I will have an eye on you to beat your ass whenever you decide to do something extremely stupid like destroying an entire gang or something
" She sighed again, contemplating about what her life had become, how she had stooped so low to become a babysitter and how she might need to find a new place since she basically invited the blood-thirsty wolf into her den.
"Aww! That is so nice of you!
" I jumped at her to give her a hug but she easily evaded it.
*Tsk*
The low volume kissing of my teeth could be heard, making her face turn weird as many different scenes went through her mind, none of them being pleasant to her. Well, not pleasant to the moral side of her.
'She wouldn't do that, right?' she asked herself as the scene of me grabbing her breast on 'accident' appeared in her mind.
"Anyway...
" I finally spoke
"Let's have breakfast. What you got for me?
"
"Do I look like your personal maid?
" A nerve bulged on her forehead
"If I say yes, would you step on me? I prefer bare feet but if you are more comfortable with using your shoes, I am not complaining
" I made a pure smile that would make anyone think I am a naive child who had been sheltered since the day of my birth.
"I swear to god, say another word and I won't be stepping on you, I will be stomping on your head until it turns into mush
" She gritted her teeth while the grip on her other arm became tighter and much stronger.
"Teehee?
"
"Get out
"
"Yes Sire
"

Exactly 78 minutes later, we were both on the dinner table silently eating the delicious steak she cooked for us. While I would think that she would be more conservative when it came to food, she was currently eating more things at a much faster pace than me, so note to self, she is foody.
However, the look of ecstasy left her face after her 5 plates as she looked at the face delighted face I was making while savoring each and every bite.
"I have a mission for you.
"
*...*
*Gulp*
Gulping down the last remaining food in my mouth, I looked at her and asked
"What is it?
"
Sighing, she looked at her empty plate for a few moments, as if thinking about something before finally speaking.
"The mission is quite simple...
