Chapter 60: Weird Interrogation

When Zach woke, he saw Auror wasn’t in the room. He glanced around to confirm that she wasn’t there.

‘Where did she go?’ Zach got up from the bed and stretched his hands. He looked at the bed and uttered. “Sleeping on the small bed was so uncomfortable. But at least Aurora had a proper sleep.”

Zach left the room and saw Aurora talking with party members of a female party.

‘What is she doing?’ Zach looked at them from a distance, and after watching them for a minute, Zach was certain that they were trying to recruit Aurora to their party.

Zach approached Aurora and stood in front of the party members.

“Excuse me. We are having a personal talk. Would you mind standing somewhere else?” one of the girls said.

Zach furrowed her brows and grabbed Aurora’s hand. He pulled her close to him and said, “Excuse me, this girl belongs to me. Would you mind fucking off from here?” Zach uttered with a fierce glare in his eyes.

The girls walked away after muttering something about Zach. 

Zach turned to Aurora and asked with a concerned look on his face: “Are you okay?”

Aurora nodded in response and looked at Zach’s hand that was grabbing her.

“Oh…” Zach let go of Aurora’s hand and said, “Let’s eat breakfast.”

After eating breakfast, they decided to take a stroll around the town before leaving for the capital.

However, Aurora said she wanted some time to get ready, so she went upstairs to their room, and Zach stayed downstairs.

‘Now then… I saw them renting rooms last night, so they must be staying at this inn too.’

Zach was looking for the party who were talking/ spreading rumors about the secret boss.

‘They have to be around here somewhere.’ Zach glanced around and saw a player who belonged to that party— leaving the inn.

Zach quickly followed the player and reached the fountain of the town where the other four party members were waiting for the player.

“Hey, wait!” Zach shouted from a distance and stopped them.

Zach was confirming whether the party was guilty or not. 

‘If they run, that means they knew about Eren. But if they don’t run, that means they are as oblivious as others.’

Surprisingly for Zach, the party didn’t run and waited for Zach.

“Yes? Can we help you?” the female party leader asked.

“Why are you guys spreading rumors about the secret boss in the town?” Zach asked impatiently. He wanted to deal with them soon as possible and go back to the inn, where Aurora was waiting for him.

“How do you… wait!” another party member yelled, “Were you eavesdropping on us?!”

“No. You all were loud enough for anyone to hear. Now spit it!” Zach equipped his default sword in his hand and said, “Or you will have to face the consequences.”

‘I am wearing gloves right now, so this sword won’t do any damage or harm anyone. But at least, it will scare them,’ Zach uttered inwardly.

The party members glanced at the sword in Zach’s hand and laughed out loud.

“Haha!” -first (male) party member.

“Pfft!” -second (male) party member.

“Are you kidding me?!” -third (female) party member.

“He is using a default sword! Ahaha!” -fourth (female) party member/leader.

“What level are you? 10?! Haha!” – fifth (male) party member.

Zach frowned his face and conjured a fire sword in his other hand. Then, he swung it in the air at the fountain behind them that was cut into two.

All the party members stopped laughing when they looked at the fire sword in Zach’s hand and then at the fountain behind them— with a baffled expression on their faces.

“Next, swing chop off your heads,” Zach asserted in a solemn voice.

“Whoa! Calm down, dude!” -first (male) party member.

“Why so angry?” -second (male) party member.

“You can’t just kill us for that reason.” -third (female) party member.

“I know, right?” – fourth (male) party member.

“Talk about death threats.” -fifth (female) party member/leader.

“Just spit it already!” Zach yelled and sighed. ‘Teeangers.’

“We don’t know why you are so angry, but we were simply talking about the stuff the masked man was talking about,” the female party leader answered.

Zach raised his brows and asked, “What masked man?”

“We don’t know.” they shrugged their shoulders all together and said, “Just as you heard our conversation, we heard his. We have no idea there was a rumor going around.”

‘Was this masked man with Eren?’ Zach wondered. ‘Why do I have a bad feeling about this?’

Zach asked some more questions to the party and returned to the inn. Fortunately, Aurora still hadn’t come downstairs.

‘I am pretty sure there ain’t no make-up in this world, so what’s taking her so long?’ Zach asked himself.

Aurora still couldn’t look into Zach’s face without remembering the kiss from the morning.

After some minutes, Aurora came down wearing similar clothes. They spent two hours in the town and left for the capital.

After 6 hours of walking, they reached the capital and went straight to the inn to eat and rent a room.

“How much time has left for the cooldown again?” Zach asked Aurora.

“There are still two days left before I can buy or exchange a house here. How long are we going to stay in the capital?” Aurora asked with a curious look on her face.

“Not sure. But we need to reach level 25 to ascend. So…” Zach shrugged his shoulders and continued eating.

Everything was going well. However, Zach felt something was off.

‘Something is wrong with Aurora. She has been acting strange today.’ Zach thought. ‘I mean, she is not her usual self.’ 

Aurora was squirming and avoiding eye contact with Zach.

‘I wonder if something happened to her… wait, I think I know why she is acting like that.’ 

Zach facepalmed himself and uttered inwardly: ‘It is because we slept on the same bed. Now she is feeling conscious of me.’

Zach wasn’t entirely wrong. But the main reason she was acting like that was that Zach accidentally kissed Aurora on the lips in his sleep. While Zach wasn’t aware of it because he was sleepy, Aurora couldn’t forget the feeling of being kissed.

‘Well, at least she has learned her lesson now.’

Author’s Note- I wonder how Aurora will react when she discovers that Zach never officially broke up with his girlfriend.
