Glory Hunt's

I.. Like You

"What are you thinking? Jumping into the middle of a fight when you don't know if it's useful or not?! Can you protect you or not?! Where do you keep your old brains! L'm.. UHHH!" He screamed in frustration, ruffled his hair into a mess before returning to me, walking over and pointing at my chest loudly.

"You! You're giving me a heart attack! Someone who is just a memory lost to a heart attack! You realize that doesn't make sense, do you?!"

"Sorry, I'm just worried Celine got hurt so-so

"So what! Jump and use your body as a shield? Stop being a hero you're a hypocritical man!

When you left town, you didn't help those who obviously needed help! And now you're protecting someone who doesn't even need your help? Is it because now you have something you can count on? Da?

Loser"

"Hey! That's too much Z" I said furiously.

"Excessive? Then what are you doing not overdo it? Saving someone who would only be hurt and not save those who would obviously die? Hmph! Damn, I'm ashamed to have you as my other self" Reply sniffed with a haughty grin that this time felt completely different.

She knows what?

"You think I don't want to save them? You don't think I'm tormented every night? Since then, I've been haunted by feelings of guilt that would drive me crazy! My head is about to break! I can't do anything because I can do anything!

I am just an ordinary person and have no ability to do anything!! HUH!!

You think I'm comfortable with all this? I'm just trying to look good! You should know what happened and understand because you are me.. "

I took a deep breath that felt as if it was pulling my soul out "You know? Forgetit. I'm sorry, I won't repeat"

Z was silent on the spot, watching the figure go away and just realizing it, he looked so lonely from behind.

In the outside world, Zent's body was treated in the mansion room at Mr.'s behest. Anderson, who didn't want his daughter to worry, found out that Zent was in the hospital.

Instead, he called the best doctor in town who had often treated the king's family to come to intensively care for Zent so that he could regain consciousness as soon as possible or Luna would likely cry.

Fortunately, the doctor said Zent was okay, just fatigue that made a question pop into their heads.

How could someone who was forced to use up his strength to use a shield where a Tier 5 was still fine?

Not that they are ungrateful, quite the contrary, they are very happy to hear that.

But, Mr. Anderson finally chose not to think too much about it, saying it might be a miracle for Zent who was then approved by his three knights.

The doctor also chose to agree and gave some drugs to keep Zent's body until it returned to optimal condition before resigning.

"Not only does it have high regeneration, it can also escape counterattacks using Tier 5 magic without mana.

Ordinary people should have lost their lives.. He is full of mystery" Rayven said, watching as he lay still on the bed.

"The mystery is full of wonders!" Rio exclaimed excitedly "Regeneration of the body, survive the attack of mana! I began to wonder if he was another race in disguise" He was curious.

Mr. Anderson heaved a sigh of relief, then turned to his three knights "You rest, you have gone through a long day. Information about the golem you give tomorrow, it's too late and Zent needs calm to recover.

You take it easy, this room will be locked so that Luna does not enter and you also do not appear, my daughter only knows you are still on your way to the forest"

"In that case, we will leave when the sun has not yet risen in order to reach the forest quickly. At least, we won't risk Zent's life again and Mr. Anderson need not worry, the three of us are still at our best, able to carry out the mission immediately" Rayven said firmly.

Mr. Anderson nodded, please leave the three of them behind, but without Celine.

The knight stared at him for a moment before regaining consciousness and taking a seat beside the bed.

"I'm sorry Zent, I should have taken care of you and not the other way around" Celine said gently, holding her face with her left hand while watching Zent's face up close.

It's hard, to refrain from stroking the cheek "I.. I'm really worried you're okay, but you don't have to. However, you still chose to protect me without a doubt. Thank you"

Z's eyes widened to hear him, stealing glances at me that I might not be able to return because I knew his distinctive smile would appear.

But, I never thought I'd hear Celine thank you.

Not because he's a cold knight and stuff, but more because I thought he didn't like me.

Is what Z says true?

No, he was just grateful.

Who do you think you are? It was worth accepting the feelings of someone like Celine who was already like a dream.

Realize Zent, that's not gonna happen.

I could see from the end of my eyes, Z looked annoyed, looking for something to throw at me. But it found nothing so it could only clench hands while jumping up and down like a mental hospital patient.

Besides, why is he so excited about this?

I just don't really care.. Do I really not care?

Or as Z says, I'm just a scared loser.

Maybe he's right.

I'm nothing more than Celine who is a distinguished knight here. It's not appropriate for someone like that to be with me who's just an ordinary man.

"However, may I ask you one thing?" Celine drew closer, lowering her voice to almost a whisper of "Why are you wearing a mask?"

Whahuh? How does..

"The first time I met you, I had absolutely no intention of pointing a sword at you. But, as soon as you opened your eyes, the real figure I had noticed, was immediately replaced by a copycat, the one who made me think you were a foul-hearted cunning person.

However, after spending time with you, even if only for a short time, I feel that you are not someone like that, but someone who is full of affection and warmth.

However, the mask you wear, trying to hide each of these feelings behind a fake smile full of pain.

I know you don't hear me now. But if allowed, I want to be where you lean, where you pour out your heart so you don't have to bear all the burdens alone.

I realize we just met, but from now on, I want to follow my heart, like you've been protecting me, so.. Take it easy, I will always be by your side.. "

Our eyes both widened watching what was going on.

Z screamed loudly while repeatedly looking at me who was silent in a place with a face as red as a tomato, unable to digest the scene from the screen in front.

Celine held my head gently and gave me a warm kiss that managed to make this heart beat so fast that Z's scream could no longer be heard, the focus on the warm feeling that now radiates throughout the body, as if a long-extinguished fire, is now burning again.

"I.. Likes you, Zent"
