Return of the Legendary Runesmith-Chapter 101 - 100- Wedding?
Chapter 101: Chapter 100- Wedding?
Dark Knight: [Is this not enough?]
Adrian finally climbed out of his daze before responding, "N-No, it’s more than enough. Thank you."
Raven: [Hubby~I can also give plenty of things to you.]
Adrian was thankful that he couldn’t hear their voices or he knew those words must have traveled in a very dangerous tone.
Dark Knight: [As always, it was nice trading with you. I must go now. Happy to see you back, XXXX.]
The number of online turned three.
Adrian suddenly remembered something for which he had been so eager to access the group chat.
"Ah, Forgelet, can I ask you for more bullets? I am about to run out of them."
Forgelet: [I don’t mind but we can’t owe more than once. You must give me something for the things I provided last time.]
The person seemed casual about it, so it seemed it was actually a rule not to pile up the debt.
Adrian thought for a moment before saying, "Should I make a weapon for you?"
Forgelet: [Hmm~I don’t have a good one worthy of getting your runes on, so rather than that why don’t you cook something for me? Oh, I like sweet things.]
Adrian blinked in surprise, "Can we...trade just anything?"
Raven: [Yes, my love. As long as both parties have agreed upon it.]
Adrian ooh-ed and then said, "I can make a good cheesecake?" freewёbnoνel.com
Forgelet: [What is that?! It sounds delicious! I will take it.]
...truly otherworldly.
"Okay then, I will prepare it and provide you...umm...when you are available next?"
Forgelet: [Hmm, like in seven hours. Is that okay?]
"Works for me," Adrian responded.
Raven: [Baby~don’t just focus on her. I am here too!]
She complained. Oh, so Forgelet is indeed a girl.
He asked calmly, "What can I do for you, Miss Raven?"
Raven: [For now, how about a kiss?]
"Ah, great meeting you all. See you later."
Raven: [Hey, don’t just ignore-]
Adrian closed the chat and leaned back.
’Haah~this was one heck of an experience.’
He didn’t know that the barter in the dimensional chat would be so partial. Like the Forgelet person is ready to trade the bullets for a cheesecake.
If only he had been back on earth he might have bought a missile launcher for a pudding.
’Hmm, I should show this to Ariana.’ The material he got could be used to make two armors easily, but he couldn’t bring this to any blacksmith. The person must be trustworthy since if Adrian’s memory serves him right, this material is not available on this planet.
To keep things secret he had to ask for Ariana’s help.
He was about to get up when suddenly, a red dot over the message box appeared.
He checked it,
Forgelet: [By the way, did you get in contact with your Idiot?]
Adrian was confused, "Idiot?" Was it someone in the group?
Forget: [Hmm~she isn’t online at the moment or she would have been all over the place.]
Confusion continued to grow, as he asked, "Is this person someone close to me?"
Forgelet: [Ahaha, if you got annoyed by Raven then you might not be prepared for her. She is the real deal. Best of luck~]
The green dot disappeared, showing that the person had disconnected.
Adrian hummed, thinking who it might be that Forgelet had to warn him.
Regardless, since he didn’t know anyone on the server, he would just ignore this Idiot if she bothered him.
Getting up from the bed, he approached the door—intending to get some coffee.
However, just as he opened the door, he found an unexpected person standing there.
"E-Elana?" The cause of his surprise was the location. All the male teachers were given rooms in the male dormitory on the top floor, so naturally, seeing her here caused him a shock.
Elana bowed, "I apologize for breaking the rule and appearing out of nowhere but I wanted to meet you before leaving."
Sensing the shakiness in her voice, he was taken aback.
But then, he collected his thoughts and said, "Go out and wait for me in the common hall. If anyone sees you here, getting suspended would be the least of your worries."
Elana nodded before she opened the window, and under Adrian’s widened eyes, the girl jumped from the fifth floor.
He hurried toward the window at the end of the lobby and spotted her lading gracefully on the ground and then walking away.
"That surely would have earned me a broken ankle."
Sighing, he entered the room and took a quick bath before changing into his usual clothes and getting out of the room.
"Good morning, Professor. Your shirt color is very pretty."
"Good morning, Sir."
"Morning, Goat."
On the way, he was greeted by many and he just nodded in response, not paying much attention, while his feet remained hurried as he advanced toward the common hall.
"There she is," He spotted Elana sitting alone in a corner with her eyes drawn to the table.
Adrian approached her and sat down on the opposite side of her, "Is everything okay?" He asked. He guessed it was something about the Grimvale family but he decided to listen to her first.
Elana kept her gaze on the table when she asked, "Professor...how would you feel...if I suddenly get married to someone?"
Adrian’s brows elevated...so it really was about Grimvale.
Now, he has to choose his words carefully. He was aware of her feelings for him, and he didn’t want to hurt her by saying something like he didn’t care.
But he couldn’t give her false hope, too, since he didn’t like her as a woman. She was just his student.
After a momentary pause, he said, "As I told you before...you are my favorite student...and if you get married I won’t be able to see you much. And that," He paused, and spoke with a sigh, "...will make me sad."
Elana flinched slightly, so brief that the other person didn’t notice.
She bit her lips, her eyes holding several emotions, but the profound one was determination.
Getting up from the seat, she told him, "I will be back. Wait for me."
