Gate Guardian - Song of the Frozen Soul

PHASE 28 - UNINVITED VISITOR KEEPS BARGING IN!

PHASE 28 - UNINVITED VISITOR KEEPS BARGING IN!

I can feel the tension building from those ex-lovers. I somehow felt that my chest has been lightened up, and I don’t feel hatred from these two anymore. Hearing Kristoff says that Amy loves me lifted my ego and removed the frustrations in my life, but I still don’t know what to feel.

Love is really like a box of chocolates. Some people have nuts, and some people don’t…. Errr I mean, like chocolates, sometimes it can be bitter but at the end, you will realize that it’s still sweet.

Since Amy is already here, I have to change the topic immediately to remove the awkward tension. “What happened to you? How did you get those injuries?” I asked the bedridden ‘rival’ of mine.

“I was attacked by a Cursed Guardian named Black Flame two weeks ago,” Kristoff said with a laugh. “It’s funny that you’ve been here for thirty minutes and you just bothered to ask that.”

“As if we care about you in any way. Your wounds would recover in days, so no need to worry.” Amy commented on the same serious expression. “Let’s go, Y’all.”

As Amy turned away and went outside the room, I looked at Kristoff’s smiling face. He waved his hand saying that he’s fine. Then Tiara and I went out.

Helena was waiting for us outside, and she seems to be busy in staring someone’s biodata. I can’t paint her worried face. On the other news, Amy is heavily stomping her twinkle feet as she marched away from the corridor. These two have negative vibes on them.

Good thing Tiara made a stunt to remove the gloomy atmosphere around our group.

She put a banana peel on the ground and jumped on it. Of course, she slipped and her butt crashed on the ground, making a loud thud! I didn’t have my <Presage> active, and even if I did, I wouldn’t catch her. She should suffer from her own idiocy.

“Ahahaha…” Tiara scratched her head. “The cartoons are right.”

We stayed in a four-star hotel near the Black Cross Mansion. Actually, we can stay for a night for free since our Lord Freya is a VIP in the whole organization. We even had fabulous Italian cuisine such as cheesy lasagna for our dinner. High Guardians surely make it easy.

After our dinner, I decided that I have to talk to Amy. I have to clear what has happened in the past two years.

Our unit has a veranda that shows the colorful skyscrapers of Myrrh City. The view is so wonderful that I could mistake those city lights from those stars in the sky. And the ocean breeze makes it easy to relax.

I was alone with Amy, but none of us spoke a word. I don’t feel any awkwardness at all. I can’t see Amy’s facial expressions because it’s quite dark here. We’ve been staring this view for too long, so I think it’s time to break the mood.

“So… You love me, huh?” I muttered.

“O-O-O-Of course not!” Amy finally showed her glowing strawberry face. She then hammered my forehead over and over, but it didn’t hurt me because her force is that of a five-year-old kid. “I told you not to believe whatever that playboy says!”

Her hitting stings a bit, so I held both of her hands to stop. “About what happened two years ago… Did I really attack you?”

Amy bowed as she slowly lowered her arms. “Y-Yes. You’re quite scary at that time. I didn’t want to hurt you. I was glad that Kristoff managed to kill that Eidolon.”
