Reincarnated into a world of modern magic

72: Alaukik's Love Life??

Inside Mayweather's office, which was surprisingly hard to find, the trio of Alaukik, Divya and Lina sat in silence.

While Alaukik was thinking of what his future steps should be, Divya was carefully observing Alaukik,

'He's back to normal now.. I wonder what happened that made him look so cheerful before?'

And along with Divya, Lina was also observing Alaukik, although for completely different reasons,

'Does he know? But there should be no way he knows! Nobody knows about my identity except for the higher ups, and there's no way they would leak it to him!! No, I can't just do nothing about it, I need to confirm that he knows something... but how do I do that without arousing his suspicion?'

"Say ... it's been a while since we've known each other hasn't it?" asked Lina.

Cocking his head to the side, Alaukik thought for a second and replied,

"Indeed, it's been around three days."

"Right? And yet, it feels like we haven't really gotten to know each other properly. Don't you think we can take this chance to get to know each other better?"

Narrowing his eyes, Alaukik thought,

'Where is she going with this? Did my little joke really rattle her this much?'

While not so obvious to Alaukik, since he knew Lina's identity from the moment he stepped into this world, the fact that Angie Sirius and Lina are the same person is a very hidden fact privy to only a few people in the world.

Alaukik also did not realise his own worth. Being the sole connection to Asha Chandrashekar, he had suddenly become a very major piece on the board of international politics, with many wanting to get closer to him.

While this did not make him an all important piece in the eyes of the major players in the world, if it turned out that Alaukik in fact knew details about the USNA government that nobody should know, his worth would increase ten fold in an instant.

And since Tatsuya doesn't know Lina yet, that means that the only ones who know her identity are her immediate superiors and those very, very close to her. So even the slight possibility that Alaukik - Asha Chandrashekar's supposed nephew who had popped into this world out of nowhere - could have some kind of information on her would have very dire consequences for the USNA government, as that would be a pretty clear indication that Asha, and thus the entire RC had such information, which would lead to the question,

How much of the USNA government's secrets does the RC know?

And so, Lina believed it to be the highest priority to find out if Alaukik really knew about her identity, or whether he was simply joking.

"For example," Lina continued, "I don't even know your last name, and I doubt you know mine."

Extending her hand towards Alaukik, Lina smiled and said,

"I'm Angelina Kudou Shields, and my hobby is to help the people around me. What about you?"

Eyeing her hand for a second, Alaukik let out a smile and said,

"I'm Alaukik Khoda, and my hobby is exploring new places. It's my first time in the USNA, so I really want to explore the country and see all its sights for myself. For example, I've heard that the New Niagara Falls, discovered after WW3, is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It would be lovely if I could one day see it for myself. But even the local neighbourhood is so different from the Federation that it makes me want to look around even in the most narrowest of alleys."
