The Wanderer and the Priestess

Chapter 12

Izanagi's POV. A week after the Vision Hunt Ceremony.

Been a week since the Vision Hunt Ceremony.

Miko already told me about the bounty on my head and to the Traveler.

Looks like the Tenryou Commission is really going to capture me, no matter what.

Well, since I'm stuck here in the house and since I don't want really want to because, I'm basically a wanted man now.

My thoughts were cut off when Miko called me out.

Miko: Is there something wrong, Izanagi?

Izanagi: I'm just thinking.

Miko: Hm, you're worried about your parents, aren't you?

Izanagi: Yes. They probably heard about the arrest warrants.

Miko: Yes, I even saw Sara secretly going to your house!

Izanagi: What!?

Miko: Relax, Izanagi. She didn't lay a finger on your parents........

I couldn't help but be scared for my parents.

I mean, we're talking about the Tenryou Commission here! They wouldn't pass up the opportunity to interrogate my parents about my whereabouts.

Not to mention, Sara herself visited them.

Izanagi: Yeah, she didn't. Because if she did........

Izanagi: I swear, I'll never let her see the light of the sun ever again.

Miko: Izanagi........I understand that you're worried about your parents getting hurt.

Miko: Sara never resorted to any violent methods when she interrogated your parents.

Miko: Not to mention, she knew that your parents are already old......

Miko: Not to mention, she's talking to the people who also treated her like their own child.

Miko: That's why, calm down.

She held my hand in order for me to calm.

Miko: Please, Izanagi. I can't bear seeing you distressed.

I took deep breaths as I smiled and calmed down.

Izanagi: Thanks, Miko.

She smiled at me.

Miko: You're welcome.

Miko: And my reward for cheering me up.

Izanagi: Huh?

She begins tracing her fingers on to my clothes........

Izanagi: Oh boy........

I gently push her away.

Miko: Hey!
