“You’re mine!” (Kai)

“GRRRAAOORRR!!!”

Without missing the chance to kill the monster, Kai immediately used hearts tab as he found an opening on the fire bear.

Phew...That was tough.

Level 56 fire bear huh?… I still have a long way to go.

“Soul absorption!” (Kai)

System

Level up!

Skill level up: heart stab lvl 6, fire resistant lvl 5.

…...

Only 1 level after killing and absorbing 26 monster’s souls...

Kai let out a sigh as he sat down on the grass, and start leaning his back against the fire bear’s dead body.

It has been like this ever since I reached level 60, At least I am still getting good skill exp i guess?

At the moment I am in the middle level of Zerak’s mountain, The highest mountain in this continent. Legend say that this mountain is the final landing place of Zerak the ancient dragon.

According to the book then, Zerak was an evil dragon that lived about 3000 years ago, after losing against the hero himself, Zerak flee to this mountain in order to recover, some say that it’s still alive even til this day, only waiting for the right time to rule over the world again.

*Sigh*

People sure have wild imagination...I mean 3000 years old dragon?? That is just impossible, the longest living dragon ever found was 1324 years old. Not to mention how rare it’s to find a pure blood one.

Talking about ages, the longest living Lionel was 248 years old, wasn’t it? As for a half breed like me it’s still unknown…

Half breeds has been a taboo for every single races, since forever, that is why almost none of them survive long enough to pass the age of 30…

*Sigh*

That is just stupid…

…..

“Yush! Time to head back!” (Kai

Kai stood up and pointed the storage ring toward the dead body of the fire bear.

…..

How much space does this thing even have?! Not to mention that it keeps everything in perfect condition… This thing alone can put my previous world’s technology to shame.

Not that I am complaining about it, but this is just way too convenient… As expect of a national treasure…

I guess?

“GYAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!”

“?!???!”

What was that???

“Divine step” (Kai)

A fight between predators??

As Kai came closer to the source of the roar, the figure of a little girl eventually revealed itself...

Isn’t that the girl from yesterday!?!? What the hell is she doing all the way up here??

“EXPLOSION!!” *Megumin anyone?*

“GYAAHHHHH!!”

The explosion seems to have have dealt some damage on the fire phoenix, But unfortunately for Eri it wasn’t nearly enough to finish it off.

Waa!? Explosion?? That is a higher tier magic spell… That girl is not ordinary...

“………”

As I though… She is a master class just like mom… But A full fire mage!?! Oi oi oi what is wrong with this girl???

You are soloing this place with only 1 defensive skill!? Not to mention you have 0 healing skill...

“GYAAAAHHHHH!!!!”

The fire phoenix send out a gust of fire blast, as it began to clap its enormous wing.

Crap!

“Divine step.” (Kai)

That was close!! But….What about her?...

Kai looked back at Eri as he landed safely on top of a tree nearby.

I am glad she is alright, but at this rate she won’t be able to hold on much longer…

You are against a monster you know? A fire phoenix on top of that, to use fire against fire that is just plain stupid.

“GYAHHHHHHHH!!!”

Crap second wave incoming!

Oi oi oi, Eri-chan?!?

Eri is now on her knee as she slowly began to lose her consciousness.

Mana exhaustion!?! Tch damn it all!

Kai immediately used Divine step while hoping that he can reach Eri in time.

(Please make it!!)

*Whosh!*

“Wha-!?!” (Eri)

Eri let out a surprised voice as she she got drag away by an unseen force.

(Phew...Somehow I just made it in time.)

As the divine step finally ended Eri is now able to see her savior.

“Y-you!?!” (Eri)

Ah…

“Hi there…” (Kai)

Eri’s face suddenly became red as she realized that she is being held like a princess by Kai.

“L-l-let me off already!!” (Eri)

“Y-yes!” (Kai)

…….

Th-that was the first time I held a girl!!!

tokidoki…

Ugh mister heart please calm down!! I can’t fight at this rate!

“GYAAAHHHHH!!!”

Without paying any mind to the couple, the fire phoenix is now charging toward them at a high speed, but it was soon enough put in its place by Kai’s fury.

Read the mod already you stupid bird!!

While having a flushed face just like a maiden in love, Kai rushed toward the Fire phoenix and crushed its head instantly with the help of air claws.

“Agh!!?!” (Eri)

Eri couldn’t help but had her jaw dropped after watching her prey being one hitted by someone younger than herself.

(Phew… That was refreshing…)

Or so he said to himself but after looking back at Eri he finally realized that he just revealed one of his biggest secret to her.

“Y-you! What was that!?!” (Eri)

“Wh-what do you mean??” (Kai)

“Don’t even try to hide it I saw everything!” (Eri)

What the hell do I say to her!?! Should I just run off and leave her here??...

No that is just way too cruel!! Not to mention she has no mana left..

Yep that option is off…

“Sorry, but that is a secret…” (Kai)

Kai said it with a serious face.

“I see… Sorry...For being rude.” (Eri)

Eri said it as she turned down the volume of her voice.

“N-no...It is fine.” (Kai)

(That was easier than expected…)

“So...Ehm Onee-san?” (Kai)

“Eri is fine…There is not much age difference between us anyway.” (Eri)

….I am only 3 and half years old you know!?! But never mind that for now...

“Eri then… What are you doing here alone?” (Kai)

“What I am doing here is none of you business, also I could ask you the same question you know?!” (Eri)

Eri flipped her hair with her right hand as she ended her line...

What is wrong with this girl’s attitude??…Give me back my first time!....

But...She do have a point…

*Sigh*

“T-t-th-thank you for saving me!” (Eri)

Eri said it with a flushed face as she began to look at the other direction.

(Eh?! She changed way too quick!!)

“Ah..uhmm, you are welcome…” (Kai)

“D-don’t get the wrong idea! You are still my enemy, humph!” (Eri)

(Did she just switch to tsundere mode!?! And what do you even mean by that???)

“Ehhh???” (Kai)

“You are Eliz-san’s son right?…”(Eri)

“Uhm...What about it?” (Kai)

(Ah! Right… I forgot she is one of my mother’s hardcore fan…..)

“That alone is enough to make you my enemy..” (Eri)

….

(This girl is making no sense at all…Wait, isn’t she just jealous??!)

“Isn’t that what you call being jealous?”(Kai)

“W-w-wh-what are you?!” (Eri)

(Don’t tell me that she hasn’t realized it…)

“Humph!! There is no way that I am jealous of the like of you!” (Eri)

“I see…”(Kai)

………

This is so awkward!

“A-anyway...I am done for today, So..See ya!” (Kai)

Kai raised up his hand to say farewell, but as he was going to take the first divine step Eri suddenly called out for him.

“W-wait!”(Eri)

…….

“What is it?…” (Kai)

“I hate to say this but… Can we go together?....” (Eri)

Eri said it with a shaky voice and a flushed face.

Oh...Right, she is low on mana…How careless of me…

Now that I take a closer look she is pretty cute isn’t she?? It would be better if she didn’t cover her left eye with her bangs tho...

“U-uhm...Sure.” (Kai)

“T-thanks you…” (Eri)

Several minutes later..

(This should be good enough..)

“T-thanks for helping me out!” (Eri)

Eri said it as she quickly bowed down toward Kai

“Y-you are welcome…” (Kai)

………….

(Eh?? This should be fine right!? Please go ahead and leave already, this is getting awkward you know??)

“K-kai!” (Eri)

“Y-yes?!” (Kai)

“S-s-see you tomorrow!” (Eri)

Eri quickly ran off with a flushed face, as she finish her line, leaving Kai behind with many questions inside his head…

Eh?? Ehhhhhh!??? Eri-san?! What do you mean by see you tomorrow?? Also with that kind of face….

She wants to see me again?? D-d-doesn’t this mean that she likes me?!?

No no no no Kai, Calm down… Don’t mistake kindness for love!!

I won’t repeat the same mistake!!....

B-but what if?…

No… Wake up already Kai!!!

*SMACK!*

Without a single clue what is happening to him, Kai suddenly slapped himself...Which ended up showing as a big red handprint on the right side of his cheek…

THAT FRIGGING HURTS!!!!!!!!

Chapter 15 end...
