Gerald smiled as he said that while looking at Yume.
"That's ... It's you!" shout Yume.
While his face was initially pale from panic, the moment he saw Gerald, it instantly turned as red as a tomato. Although he clearly blushed, Gerald could simultaneously feel a deep hatred as well as a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
“Indeed.. After all, it seems like we both came here today with the same purpose. Are you planning to go to the ocean king's palace as well? ” asked Gerald who was surprised to hear him mutter that before.
“I... I don't know! Stop talking to me!" yume replied before standing up and immediately turned to face the other way as she recalled the previous Ghost Master's words about the fate of her marriage…
“Seeing from the results of the wedding stone, it looks like you have met the person who will make you fall in love, Miss Gunter! From what I can see, it looks like the two of you just separated recently as well!” ghost said when Yume was in the church.
“The person who finally made me fall in love…? Who'sis that? Actually... It.. there's no way she is, right? The person they refer to as Mr. Crawford.?”.
Shaking his head, Ghost then replied, “Unfortunately so..”.
"Unfortunately? Now why did you say that? ”
“Although it is stated here that you will definitely fall in love with her, she will not love you in return! It's just a sad ending because you two will never be together!” clearly Ghost before sighing.
"…you! You old man! Enough spouting nonsense! I will never fall in love with someone who will never love me back! I refuse to trust you!” yume replied angrily.
“It's just the truth! It's not you who decides!”
"The truth? Ha ha! Even if that was the case, I wouldn't let it happen! I will only kill him when I see him again to avoid any complications in the future! Once I'm done with that, I'll be back to burn your church!”
After which, he went down the mountain in a huff, feeling extremely angry and frustrated as he walked towards the ancestral mine of the Minshall family.
Of course it must be Gerald. While he had to admit that he was quite handsome and he was also the one who had saved his life, he did not have any other suitable qualifications to make him fall in love with him! It's totally bullshit!
While she was certain that she would never see him again back then, she now realized how wrong he was. In fact, not only was he standing behind her now, but he had also just saved her life for the second time!
However, once he got close enough, he simply pushed him hard before shouting, "Don't touch me!"
“Really temperament! I want you to know that the water repellent stone now belongs to the Crawford family! Aren't you ashamed at all for trying to steal something in front of its owner ?! ” replied Gerald resignedly.
With that, he went to pick up the stone. As soon as he got it, he immediately turned to leave.
“...T-wait!”
"What's that?"
“You... You said you would share a part of the waterproof stone with me, right..?” ask Yume in a much softer tone now.
While he really felt like killing Gerald right now, he knew he was incapable of doing so. But if he didn't do it now, would he really fall in love with her…?
“Because you asked very well, of course.”
While the water repellent stone was only the size of a palm, even if it was broken down into a thousand parts, each piece would still retain its initial function without any performance degradation. With that in mind, Gerald only broke three pieces of stone and handed them to Yume.
"Since the two of us are going to head to the palace of the king of the seas sooner or later, why don't we go there together?" gerald's Suggestion.
To be honest, he thought of her as a suspicious character. After all, while he had only managed to find out about the king of the ocean palace after a slow and careful investigation, based on what Yume had said before, the girl seemed to be heading there to complete the task her grandmother had entrusted her with.
In order for his grandmother to have affairs to be settled within the palace of the king of the seas? Could it be that Grandma Yume also has her own secret? Gerald really wants to get this done.
“No need to consider that! I'm not going to travel with you!" yume replied as she held onto her stomach before slowly exiting.
It was then that Gerald realized something was wrong. Sniffing the air, he could not help but raise an eyebrow as he shouted, “This is not good! Back here, fast!”
