Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 83

At the Academy...

"Blackie, where were you? And where's Hexy?"
"... Diane's sick, and he's staying with her for a little bit. I'll go back and see her later"
"What? She's sick?! I need to see her!"
"She's resting right now. We'll go later. For now, I need to go somewhere."
"... Alright."

Meanwhile...

"Diane, eat this"
"What is this?"
"Medicine made by me. I'm sure you'll get better after taking it"
"I see. Thanks" *takes*
*smile*
"... Hexy"
"Hm?"
"You are in love, right?"
"?!"

... What did she just say?

"You're a really nice and intelligent guy, but you're rather dense regarding these subjects"
"!"
"You should confess now, before it's too... late..." *falls asleep*
"... She fell asleep"

What in the world did she mean? Me? In love? No way! Diane must be saying this because she's tired...

"... If it's true, then I must be out of my mind"

I'm here because I have a mission, and that is to stay by Blackie's side forever. I don't have time for things such as love.

...

In Blackie's laboratory...

"Blackie, why are we here?"
"... I am searching for a potion that will help Diane."
"Want me to help?"
"No, it's alright. I found it" *takes the potion*
"You will give it to her now?"
"No. I need to go to the office" *potion disappears in the diamond mark*
"Okay"
*woosh*

...

In Blackie's office...

"So, what do you want from here?"
"I need a book"
"What kind?"
"... Regarding the third transformation"
"!"
"Something's not right. I don't feel any powerful magic coming from the star mark, even though I did use it a few days ago"
"While fighting with the demons?"
"Yes. I used this transformation, but it wasn't as powerful as it should."
"Maybe the holder doesn't want to leave the spirit world, that's why he's not giving you all of his power"
"No. There's no spirit that do not wish to be freed from that dimension. It must be something else."
"Did you ask Hexy and Diane?"
"I did ask Hexy, but he has no idea as well. I wanted to ask Diane, but she's sick, so I'll have to wait until she gets better."
"Do you really have no clue about what the problem is?"
"... I think it's because of the holder's overpower"
"What do you mean?"
"Aster"
"Huh?"
"His name's Aster. I guess it's because of his overpower"
"I don't understand"
"... Let's go and see how's Diane. I'm worried about her"
"Oh, okay"

Aster's overpower? What in the world does that mean?

...

In the house...

"Blackie!"
"How is she?"
"I gave her a medicine not too long ago, and she... fell asleep after that"
"I see. Give her this" *potion appears*
"What is this?" *takes*
"It's a potion I made. She'll get better the moment she drinks it"
"She has to drink it all?"
"Yes"
"... Alright. Diane, wake up"
"Hmm..."
"Just sit for a bit so that you can take the potion Blackie made"
*cough cough* "... Master?"
"Yes."
*sits*
"Here"
*can't drink it*
"She's half unconscious"
"... Should we wait until she fully wakes up?"
"She won't get better until she drinks it. And I can't see her like this anymore"

I'm still not sure if it's really just a cold, but Diane's suffering, and I can't leave her like that!

"... Can you guys leave the room?"
"Huh? Why?"
"Please Blackie. It's for her sake"
"... Alright"
*clack*
"I'm losing my first kiss for your sake, Diane. So you better remember that." *gulp gulp* *approach* *kiss*

Never thought that I'd do that to anyone. It's only because Blackie was worried about her... that's right...

*retreats*
"..." *slightly opens her eyes*
"Diane!"
"... Hexy? What are you doing here- ouch!" *head throb*
"Careful. No need to push yourself too hard!"
"Where's master?"
"She's outside. I'll call her"
*nod* "Thank you"
*smile* *pat* "I'm glad you're better"
"!"
*gets up* *leaves*
*slightly reddens* *badump badump*

That's weird... for some reason, my heart is beating faster than usual. Also, why did I dream about... Hexy kissing me?

...

Outside...

"Blackie, Diane woke up"
"She did?! Thanks god! I'll enter and check on her!"
*nod*
*enters*
"Hexy, what is it?"
"Huh?"
"Your face is kind of red"
"Oh, nothing. I, I'll go" *leaves*
"Hm... quite interesting" *enters*

Looks likes these two have a promising future~

"... I can't believe what I just did"

I can't believe I kissed her...
