New life new fate (Male reader x skullgirls)

Chapter 14: false solution

Y/n POV

"Thank you everyone for attending this meeting." Parasoul called out.

Currently we were in the anti skullgirl labs due to Parasoul wanting us here. Apparently she found some news about the skull 'girl' and wanted to share her findings.

"Theonite readings have spiked within the last 48 hours. They came from pier 14 by the docks." They caused everyone to stand attention because they might finally be able to catch the skullgirl.

But for me. I'm sweating bullets over here. But then an idea came my head.

"Wait!" I yell out. Everyone turned their eyes on me as i cleared my throat.

"So we know how the skullheart works right?" They nod.

"We know that depending on the heart said person can hold it without going insane. So what if the person has the heart is pure of heart?" Their eyes widened at the possibility.

"Impossible. The heart tempts the corrupt into taking it." Parasoul says.

"True. But it is also possible for the pure to hold it as well. So considering that nothing bad has happened in the past two days we can assume that the person is pure and is currently living their normal lives as we speak." This made her think twice.

"What I'm trying to say is we call off the hunt for now. But we keep any evidence just in case the holder does go insane so we can move in at a moments notices. We continue to train and lookout just in case but ease up a little bit." I brought my words forth.

"And besides there are other sources of theonite correct?" They nod.

"So what if some people got a hold of theonite and did something stupid with it."

Their was a moment of silence as everyone thought about it.

"Well he does have the right of it." Valentine said.

"I agree. We I believe we should be at ease that nothing bad has happened yet but we still should be vigilant for any signs of corruption." Dr. Avian replied.

(Sigh)

"Alright everyone we'll follow y/n's suggestion. Just try not to slack off too much. Also we'll send some people over to investigate. Until then I think we all need a break." Parasol said as she walked off.

I took a deep breathe of relief.

'So that's why you set up that fake scene with all that theonite.' The said impressed.

'And we have Double to thank for that. Now I need to get Lilia home before Hollow starts going crazy.'

Besides I don't want anyone to know what I was doing over there.

'You really have a weird side to you.' Said the heart.

'Hey if you were me you would've done the same!'

I get up leaving Hollow's arms to guide Lilia home. There was a slight hint of protest from Hollow but ultimately she let me go.

"So many unique people. Our home didn't have these kind of people there." Lilia said in astonishment.

"Yeah they're amazing so many people with wonderful abilities. But at the same time, with tragic pasts. I wonder if I'll be able to help them." I say a little down.

Lilia grabs my hand and softly squeezes it. She gives me a warm smile. I feel the butterflies again. It was like before. But the past is in the past. I don't know if she still sees me in that way.

"Thank you. Let's get you to my home. You can stay there for the time being. Besides my mom would be happy to see you again." Her face brightens up at the mention of my mother.

"I would be grateful for that. She was always so happy and lovely to everyone!" Lilia went off on a rant about all the good things in life.

She just kept close to me as we walked the city streets and into the neighborhood.

'I can see why you like her. You love the bubbly and optimistic types right?' The heart asked.

'More or less. They give me hope that I can have a bright future too. And besides she's cute what else is there to say?' I replied.

'I'm not judging. In fact you better keep that love because you are always too moody.'

'Hey! I'm not THAT moody!

Am I?' I asked unsure.

'Yes. Yes you are.' The heart said bluntly.

'Damn it.' I said to myself.

After a short bit heated argument with the heart we made it to the house. I opened the door and I announced that I was home. I my mother running towards me ready to crush my in her iron grip.

But I been preparing myself ever since that fateful day. Ever since I was crushed like a plastic straw in her overwhelming grasp. The humiliation I faced that day has never left me. Now mother I have prepared myself to face your iron grip once more with renewed vigor!

For my honor!

As she hugged me I was faced with a different problem.

"Thank goodness your home! Me and the ladies can't stop crying!"

"What?"

Seeing that it was safe I hugged her too. She explained to me that she and the others saw a drama/romance about two lovers from different worlds and the ending made them cry there hearts out.

'Wait is it what I think it is?' The heart asked.

'Yes, yes it is.' I replied.

"Mom. Did you watch Darling and the Franxx?" I asked her.

"Yes. That's what it was!" She said with her head buried in my chest.

Oh boy. This is gonna be a mess.

"Besidea we also a show called Fullmetal Alchemist. We thought it would be more lighthearted!"

Oh no! I have to stop them!
