Chapter 146 One more day…
Hikaru went out. Before going out, he stopped at the door, turned around and said to Aiko: “I don’t want to wait too long, understand?”
After that, without waiting for her to answer, he immediately left.
As soon as Aiko’s door closed, he immediately looked at Velys who was standing nearby, looking at him with an embarrassed face.
“Velys? You… since when have you been standing here?”
Veylys bowed her head, and clasped her hands together: “I… I’ve been standing here since you entered Aiko’s room. I… I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I just wanted to ask her if she wanted to have dinner or not.”
“Anyway… she hasn’t eaten anything yet. I really had no intention of eavesdropping on you.”
Hikaru sighed, he didn’t think that the conversation between him and Aiko would have been heard by Velys.
He didn’t know how to explain it to Velys, however, he also didn’t want her to misunderstand.
“Velys… actually…”
“Ah! Hikaru… you don’t need to explain. I understand.”
“Heh?! What do you understand?
“I… I know I didn’t take good care of you. I know when you brought Aiko back, you had the intention of ‘taking’ her. Don’t worry, I will support you.”
Hikaru: “…”
In what direction are you understanding the problem?
He really wanted to ask that question. Just what the hell was going on in Velys’s head?
“Velys… I…”
“It’s okay… It’s okay… I… if you want to play master and slave, I… I can accommodate that too.” Velys said as she bowed her head, her face red.
Hikaru: “…”
He knew that no matter how he explained himself, Velys would not believe him.
“Okay, Velys, you should rest. I want to be alone.”
“Ah! Tonight… don’t you need me?”
Hikaru sighed: “I’m a bit tired tonight.”
“If you’re tired of me then I’ll tell Laylah…”
“Velys…” Hikaru really wanted to cry, he didn’t think that Velys would be so enthusiastic: “I’m really not bored with you. It’s just… tonight I want to be alone to think about my future plans.”
“Ah! Sorry… I…”
Hikaru sighed, he came closer and hugged Velys: “Listen to me, okay?” Do not worry…”
“Um…” Velys leaned her head against his chest to enjoy his warmth. She then nodded slightly.
After that, Hikaru returned to her room, of course, Velys also returned to her own room.
Hikaru lay on his bed, he felt a bit of a headache. Even though he had evolved and become a perfect human being, absorbing so much information also made his mind a bit tired.
So he didn’t think of any plans and went straight to sleep.
…
In the private room, Velys had just returned to her room, she lay on the bed, her eyes looking into the distance.
‘Hikaru is so obnoxious, if he wants, he can tell me. Why are you looking for another girl?’
‘I can play the master and slave game with him.’
‘Or… because he also loves me, he respects me, so he doesn’t do that to me?’
‘Hm.. maybe that’s it… Hehehe… Hikaru, next time, I’ll definitely surprise you.’
Velys hugged her pillow and smiled, feeling extremely happy. However, she was suddenly startled because she felt something.
Velys immediately opened the window, then rushed outside. She was like a cat, as she moved gently on the branches, she didn’t even touch the leaves.
Velys moved out of the villa area, to the area near the foot of the mountain and saw a zombie that looked like it was cast in metal.
If Hikaru were here, he would definitely recognize that it was a special armored zombie.
That’s right, unlike other armored zombies, this armored zombie had the ability to imitate other people.
At this moment, it was standing still, looking towards the Noack mansion.
Velys, who was lurking in the distance, was watching the zombie. She frowned: “Armored zombies? No, it’s different from other armored zombies. Could it be… it is a Tanker?”
Velys suddenly remembered some memories in her head. However, she still lurked in the shadows, not rushing to attack it.
The tanker slowly moved on the road. Even though this place was extremely dark, and there seemed to be no light at all, Velys could still clearly see every move of that zombie. ．ｔ
The tanker walked on the road leading towards the Noack’s mansion… It walked and looked around as if? it was afraid that someone would discover it.
Suddenly, the Tanker seemed to discover something, and it immediately jumped back.
As soon as it jumped back, an ice stalactite shot out, sticking into the place where it had just stood.
The tanker looked into the distance, the place was completely dark, and as there was no light he couldn’t see anything.
It stood still for a long moment, then turned and ran into the darkness.
Velys saw the tanker leave and frowned: “Strange, it seems to have evolved much faster. Maybe… I should tell Hikaru about this.”
…
Tomorrow.
Even though it was 8 a.mThere was still darkness everywhere. This morning was even darker than yesterday morning.
The temperature even dropped to a scary? level.
Hikaru woke up, he stretched and looked out the window. When he saw the snow falling, he was not too surprised.
“Rika, what is the temperature now?”
[Are you crazy? I am not your weather forecasting center.]
“Hahaha… I just want to know. You are the system’s assistant, surely you possess many functions, right?”
[Sigh, the temperature is now -5 degrees Celsius. It seems like overnight, the temperature has dropped more than 20 degrees Celsius.]
Hearing that, Hikaru nodded, he also expected this.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by Velys’s voice: “Hikaru, are you awake?”
“Um…”
“You can use normal water. Although the snowfall and low temperatures caused the water to freeze, we used fire to heat the water.”
“I know, thank you, Velys.”
“You don’t need to thank me. I will prepare breakfast.”
“Um!”
After Velys left, Hikaru entered the bathroom. He changed clothes, then soaked in the hot tub.
Even though it’s the end of the world, zombies are everywhere, and many people die of hunger and thirst.
In Hikaru’s villa, life is extremely comfortable and luxurious.
He had enough water to bathe in, and moreover thanks to Velys, the water he was bathing in was hot.
While Hikaru was enjoying the hot bath, Rika’s voice rang out again: [Didn’t you see the information about the Surveillance skill?]
Hikaru shrugged: “No need, the ‘event information card’ already showed me many things, and it’s more complete than what the ‘Surveillance’ shows.”
[It seems… you are feeling very comfortable.]
“That’s right. This is the right of those who know the future. Rayze is just like me, he thinks he is the only one who knows the future.”
“However, after facing me yesterday, he will definitely have to rethink what he knows.”
“I have caused the wheel of fate to deviate from what Rayze once knew. Maybe… he will be more careful.”
“But there is still a loophole that I can exploit…”
[What is that…]
Hikaru didn’t say anything more, he closed his eyes and relaxed in the bathtub.
Rika: […]
At this moment, Rika really wanted to bite him, she wanted to bite him till he begged.
More than 15 minutes later, Hikaru got out of the bathtub, changed clothes and headed to the living room.
In the living room, Laylah and Aiko were sitting there preparing to have breakfast.
As soon as she saw him, Aiko was immediately startled and bowed her head. At this time, Aiko had tied her hair back into a ponytail, so Hikaru could clearly see her adorable red face.
Laylah also blushed, but only a little. However, unlike usual, Laylah did not say sarcastic words to him.
Instead, she looked at him a bit shyly but caution could still be seen in her eyes.
‘What the hell. Did Laylah and Aiko suddenly change their personalities this morning?’
[Because of what you did yesterday, it is understandable that their attitude towards you has changed now.]
Hikaru shook his head, he sat at the table, and felt that the atmosphere had become even more strange.
“Hm…” Hikaru frowned, he didn’t know what to say to break this atmosphere.
“Everyone…” Velys suddenly walked in, carrying a tray of hot food.
She smiled and placed the tray of food on the table and shared it with everyone. Hikaru’s food plate was even more beautifully decorated than the others.
While having breakfast, Velys suddenly said: “Hikaru, last night I discovered a rather strange armored Zombie approaching this place.”
Hearing that, Hikaru was not surprised at all, he replied: “So… what happened after that?”
Seeing that Hikaru was still calm, Velys smiled and said: “I chased it away. Sigh, if it was a little slower, I probably would have killed it.”
Hearing that, Hikaru smiled and patted Velys’ head: “You did very well. However, next time don’t take such risks. If you discover anything dangerous, you must report it to me first, understand?”
“Um… I understand.” Velys smiled with her eyes closed, her face full of happiness.
Hikaru now looked towards Aiko: “Have you thought carefully?”
“Pkts!” Aiko was so startled that she spat out her food, then coughed continuously. Velys gave Aiko a bottle of water, which she quickly drank to steady her breathing.
Laylah glanced at Aiko, then looked at Hikaru with eyes full of confusion.
A moment later, Aiko breathed a sigh of relief and said: “Sorry… I… I haven’t finished thinking yet. Please give me a few more days. I…”
“Enough!” Hikaru interrupted Aiko: “One more day… Tomorrow night, I want your answer. If not, I will take you back to Rakan.”
“I don’t need a useless person here either, understand?”
Hearing that, Aiko bowed her head, tears began to flow. Even though she felt very scared, she still nodded slightly: “I… I understand.”
Laylah frowned when she saw Aiko sobbing and shivering. Even though Aiko was crying, Laylah felt that she was excited.
Although Laylah didn’t know what Hikaru talked about with Aiko, or what conditions Hikaru gave. However, she knew for certain that the conditions would be disadvantageous for Aiko.
But Aiko seemed to be feeling excited about that disadvantage.
Laylah sighed, suddenly remembering Velys’s words: ‘Sometimes… Being an airhead is better than being a smart girl.’
