The Cursed Soul System

Chapter 29 "The Warmth Before the Battle"

Nuclear magic used by Strega Cagna can be heard up to a considerable radius.

"What happened, where did that sound come from" said Jerome who arrived at the exit of the shelter cave.

"It looks like the source of the sound came from Himaya region" Bruno replied.

"I hope they're all okay, to ensure safety I'll use this item"

Saying this, Jerome then used the Brain-given Schildpad Barrier item to install a barrier in the protection cave.

Ensuring that it was safe, Jerome decided to go back into the cave to calm those who also heard the sound of the explosion. After Jerome managed to calm everyone down, yes then approached by Riane Client who was a woman that Brain had met before. (Qc.21).

"Mr Jerome, I'm sorry" said Riane.

"What's up" Jerome replied politely.

"If you may know, how far you know Brain" asked Riane.

"All I know is that he always works hard in every problem, he's the one in charge" Jerome said.

"That's how it is for the habit or maybe the food you like" Riane said.

"Then, try asking Saria" Jerome said.

"Okay sir, thank you. I'm sorry to bother you"

After saying this, Riane Client then left Jerome and here Jerome thinks that Brain has become an idol for young women.

In District 9, precisely at the location where the liberation forces gathered, it was seen that they had all been with their respective group mates.

The sun began to fall on the western horizon, making the heart of every member of the liberation army begin to beat fast.

"I hope, after this, we can live in peace" said Zhipheng, who partnered with Hendry.

"Things like that we should be able to get, before that we have to focus on getting the victory" said Hendry.

Amidst their conversation, a pair of Randalf and Layla are seen approaching them both.

"We've distributed Poison to all the members" Randalf said.

Hearing that Hendry was very grateful, the four of them then discussed what strategies should be taken to face Strega Cagna and Vedova Distruttore.

Here the four of them who had known a little about the abilities of the two people, Strega Cagna who could have certainly had a Mage and Vedova class who was likely someone with a Fighter class.

"If it's like you said, we should be careful with that Strega" Zhipheng said.

"To that end, if things don't work out, I want Randalf, Layla and Daria to be able to deal with that crazy woman" Hendry said.

"I'm going to try to use all the magic I've got to deal with it" Randalf said.

"Don't use the same magic that you used before" Layla said.

"Then what about Vedova" asked Zhipheng.

"For that monster, me, you and Brain will face it" Hendry said.

With complete confidence, Zhipheng agreed to the words of Hendry and after that they then returned to talk about other strategies, then decided to start moving at exactly 9 pm.

"Then we'll go back to check the remaining Poison inventory" Randalf said.

"Thank you Randalf" said Hendry.

"Brain and Daria, by the way" Layla asked.

"They went to prepare their equipment" replied Hendry.

After all that conversation and discussion, Randalf and Layla then left, while Hendry and Zhipheng remained there.

As they walked, they both finally reached the house they were headed to. The house is the property of Daria.

"Is there anything you need in this place" asked Brain.

"I want to pick up some of the items and supplies that I have stored in this place" Daria said.

Daria then walked towards the lower floor of the house and of course Brain also followed her from behind.

Although rarely lived, the interior of the house is still in a well-maintained state and all the furniture is also neatly arranged.

"So this is your home" Brain said.

"Well, this house is the only thing that's precious to me" Daria said.

After that, Daria then opened one of the storage boxes on the lower floor of the house, yes then took out a sword and armor that seemed to be filled with dust.

Cleaning up the dust that was stuck, Daria then invited Brain to return upstairs, so far the conversation between the two of them was not so frequent.

"I don't know if I can survive this time" Daria said as she inspected her armor and sword and here they were both in the middle of the house.

"Don't say anything like that" Brain said.

"I'm sorry, I'm just confused, my abilities aren't so much" Daria said.

The awkward atmosphere began to change, the two of them then continued the conversation by discussing various topics and it made time seem to run quickly.

"Maybe we should go back" Brain said.

"It's late, well, then I want to get ready, Hendry also said, we have to go back before 9, so there's still time" Daria said.

"That's it" said Brain.

"I want to take a bath first, Refreshing before going to the battle field also includes preparation right" Daria said in a soft tone.

Hearing that Brain just smiled, Daria then went to his room and not long, he came out again with just a towel.

Seeing Daria just wearing a towel, made Brain feel embarrassed, yes then turned his gaze elsewhere. Seeing that Daria who was still standing in front of the door of her room said something to Brain.

"At my age of 30, it was the first time a man saw me dressed like this" Daria said.

Hearing that Brain just fell silent, yes then looked back at Daria and they both looked slightly flushed.

"Didn't you want a Brain bath" asked Daria softly.

"I might as well wait outside" Brain said embarrassedly.

Hearing that Daria then walked towards Brain, yes then took her hand and slowly pulled her to come with him.

Brain who was confused by the circumstances could only follow Daria and the two of them ended up entering the bathroom together.

"Maybe you'll laugh, but honestly this is the first time I've done this" Daria said.

Confused by what he did, Brain who had also never experienced the experience could only follow the will of his body.

The sound of their togetherness that sounded so happy was finally finished, the awkward situation between the two was again seen after that and now they both had prepared to leave the house.

"Brain, I'm sorry for what happened"

"No, I should be the one apologizing" Brain said.

"Am I too old for you"

"Don't talk like that" Brain said as he recalled what Simi the System had said about relationships with the opposite sex that had a considerable lifespan it was possible.

After that short conversation, the two of them who had prepared, then returned to the hall building where the liberation forces had gathered.
