Goddess In Disguise

Chapter 19.

MATHEW is just staring at Azumi, who seems nervous right now. Hindi niya rin ito masisisi dahil iba na kasi ang usapan kapag ang Council na mismo ang siyang nagpatawag.

Katabi niya lang ito kaya madali lang niyang inabot ang kamay nito.

He's right. She is quite nervous since her hand feels cold. Also, her face is pale at the moment.

"It's alright," pagpapakalma niya rito. Sa ilang beses na pagpapatawag rito ay mukhang dito siya mas kinabahan. He tried reading her mind to figure out what made her nervous, but he couldn't.

"H-Hindi naman nila ako i-expel diba?" she stuttered.

Umiling siya. "Of course not. No one have the right to do that from you since you save the Academy for the second time around."

"Are you sure?" paninigurado ng dalaga. "Hindi ko kasi natupad ang ipinangako ko kay Headmaster."

Kumunot ang kaniyang noo sa narinig.

"Promise?"

Tumango ito. "I promise to give him the Dark King's head but I failed," sabi nito. "Pero baka pwede naman diba na abo ang ibigay bilang kapalit. Dapat kasi ibang armor nalang ginamit ko."

Hindi naman siya nakapagsalita kaagad.

Is she serious?

He finds her rationale ridiculous, which is why he can't help but laugh at her. His woman is simply too naïve.

Sinamaan siya nito ng tingin. "I hate you," she muttered.

He stop laughing and then he kiss her on her lips. She's just too adorable. Hindi niya tuloy maiwasan na panggilan ang pisngi nito pagkatapos. Hindi siya magsasawang gawin ito sa kaniya.

"I know you don't mean it," aniya at hahalikan pa sana niya ito ngunit may biglang tumikhim.

Realization hits him.

Damn! He forgot they were with the Academy's higher-ups. However, he maintains his composure because he has nothing to be ashamed of.

Nandito rin ang mga kaibigan nila ni Azumi dahil ang pagkakaalam niya ay mission ito na ibibigay sa kanilang mga Royal Knights.

"I didn't know that the Supremo that we knew was a big fan of PDA," nanuksong sabi sa kaniya ng isa sa mga Council at pagkuwan ay tinapunan nito ng tingin ang Hari. Kumpleto ang anim na Council at ang anim din na ito ay nagrerepresenta sa anim na kingdom. "Well, that's not surprising though since the father is like that as well."

"Sinabi mo pa," pakikisali na rin sa usapan ng isa pa nitong kasama. "Mukhang may susunod na sa yapak ni King Philip."

"What are they talking about?" naibulong ni Azumi sa kaniya.

"Don't mind them," naitugon nalang niya rito. "Just focus on me."

"Azumi." Ngayon ay tinawag ito ng kaniyang ama. "If you don't mind, can you show us that armor you have earlier."

Malawak naman ang conference room kaya pwedeng-pwede na mag-transform ang dalaga sa armor na nais nito. But she looks hesitant to accept the King's request that's why Mathew saw her look at him first. Tila ba humihingi ito ng permiso sa kaniya and that's makes him smile. He likes it when Azumi is depending on her.

Tumango lang siya bilang pagsang-ayon. Bumuntong-hininga muna ito bago tumayo at pagkuwan ay lumayo ng bahagya sa upuan nito.

"I summon thee, Armor of Annihilation, ARMAGEDDON!" she chanted, as her legendary armor reappeared.

Wow.

This is his second time seeing this armor, and he can't help but be amazed by it.

Natagpuan nalang niya ang sarili na unti-unting tumayo habang tutok na tutok ang kaniyang mga mata kay Azumi. Hindi naman siya nag-iisa dahil lahat ng nandito sa conference room ay parang bata na manghang-mangha sa nakikita.
