"Are you over there?" Haruka, she didn't look back, but knew that Haruka was standing behind her.
"That, about your father ... I'm sorry.. β
"You don't have to apologize, but I need to apologize to you. β
"Huh?"
"I gave you the badge, that's why you were captured by the Nightmares. β
"No, ... β
"It's because I'm too naΓ―ve, I've already been attacked before, and I still don't stop my father's warning, and I insist on going to Hearst Academy. She hung her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"It's not your fault, no one thought that Cronin would be behind it, even if you don't go to the academy, he will do everything he can to get close to you, so don't blame yourself too much. Haruka gently patted her on the shoulder.
"Cronin, that guy... I'm not going to let him go! I'm going to make him pay. β
"Now that he is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, if you want to take revenge, I am afraid it will be very difficult... β
"Haruka, can I trust you?" Natalie suddenly turned around and looked at him with a serious expression.
"Just say what you want, I can help you as much as I can. β
"I want you to protect me. β
"Protecting you?"
"Yes, now I don't have the strength to protect myself, let alone revenge, so I'm going to make myself stronger and do whatever it takes. So until I can protect myself, I hope you can protect me. β
"This... β
"When I saw my father for the last time, although I was in a controlled state, my subconscious was still there, and at that time my father entrusted me with something. Natalie brushed her forehead hair with her hands, and there was a tiny red six-pointed star in the center of her eyebrows.
"What is this?"
"I don't know what it's called, but with it, my unconscious ability to predict has become controllable.
Is this the revelation that the God of Destruction wants to get one of the worlds?
"As long as you can use this power skillfully, you will definitely be able to slash Cronin in time. β
"Sounds amazing. β
"As long as I can achieve my goal, in return, I will give this thing to you!"
"Is this something easy to give to someone else as a reward?"
"Yes, since my father can give it to me, I can naturally give him to you, but ......"
"What?"
"No, it's nothing!" Natalie shook her head, "As a merchant's daughter, I've told you all the terms of the negotiation, are you willing to make this deal with me?"
"I... Haruka was obviously a little hesitant, but the voice of the God Destroyer in his mind suddenly sounded, "Hurry up and promise me, as long as the Apocalypse is in this woman's body, other demons will definitely peep at her, in order to prevent other demons from getting the power of the world, it is the best choice for you to stay by her side." β
"Hey...... Well, I promise you. Haruka nodded, "But you have to stay with me at all times, and I will do my best to keep you safe." β
Then the negotiations were established. Natalie held out her hand to Haruka, and the two shook hands gently......
Back in the cabin, Cassiu seemed to be waiting for Haruka. When he saw him come in, he came up and greeted him.
"How is it, how is the eldest lady?"
"It's not a big deal for the time being, but it's really hard for a girl's family to encounter so many things. β
"Miss Haruka is not a girl. β
"Well, I'm different, I... Relatively strong. Haruka smiled awkwardly.
"Indeed, Miss Haruka's straightforward personality is like that of a boy, and this is what fascinates me. Cassiu looked at Haruka with a smile.
"Well, don't tease me. β
"I'm serious. β
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, I haven't seen you since the last time we were separated in the suburbs of Citina, I didn't expect to owe you such a big favor this time when we met. β
"You don't have to feel like you owe me anything. β
"No, no, no, you've helped me so much, I'm so embarrassed. β
"How about accepting my love honestly?"
"Beyond this ... β
"But I don't want anything but you. Cassiu said as he wrapped his arms around Haruka's waist.
"I'm sorry... That's the only thing I can't promise you!" Haruka pushed him away and took two steps back.
"Uh-huh-" Sylan coughed, and stepped out of the cabin. "I'm sorry to bother you. β
"No, no, we didn't do anything. Haruka waved his hand.
"Where are you going to go from here?" said Xi Lan, pushing Kaxiu aside and walking in front of Haruka.
"Well, I've already told Natalie that we'll go back to the academy first when the ship arrives on the mainland. β
"Well, that's great, Cassius and I were also tasked with going to Hurst Academy after completing our quest to explore Nightmare Island. β
"Hey, you're going too?"
"Yes, due to the previous nightmare attack and the demon invasion, the school has a strong desire to enhance the security of the academy, so it has entrusted the adventurer union, hoping to assign powerful adventurers to the school to take charge of the siege. β
"I see, that's a coincidence... Haruka nodded in agreement......
