Chapter 68

The Last Chapter.

[CW: swearing]

Upon hearing the news from Leizel, Lia felt a sudden change of mood from good to bad. The news is amusing to hear for others, but for her, it isn't. She remained silent, making Leizel worry for her, "Hey, are you okay? I shouldn't have said that huh?"

"No, it's okay... Uhm, thanks for telling me." Lia replied coldly, taking aback the energy heroine with her tone. She then proceeded in consuming her meal, leaving Leizel in shock and fear because of what could happen.

Later on, some of them are cleaning the living and dining room area. While some are washing the dishes, some are sweeping the floor and cleaning the table. As for Lia, she excused herself to go up to freshen up, promising that she will help out in a while.

While cleansing her face with the cleanser, she started to think about what Leizel said earlier. The thought of Boboiboy being away for months bothers her. But what bothers her, even more, is the contemplation of whether she should go on with TAPOPS or just stay here on Earth. After rinsing, she goes on in changing her outfit - a blue polo blouse paired with denim shorts. She won't go all out since she'll be just in the house, chilling with the guests.

She looked at herself in the mirror, spotting her scarlet irises once again. She just got reminded that she isn't just human, she is half human and half-alien. "Would things ever be the same again?" She thought then heaved a sigh.

A knock came from the door, interrupting her thoughts. "Coming," She went to get the door to see it is Boboiboy. His presence surprised her, making her flinch a bit, "Oh hey, you're here."

"Yes I am," Boboiboy replied with a smile then noticed her outfit, "I see you have freshened up. Good for you, Li. Hehe, you look so stunning." Even if his comment melted her heart, the thought about his training still remained in her mind, limiting her reaction.

"Ah, thank you," She replied, trying to sound gleeful. "You too, Bi, you look handsome, hehe." She chuckled.

Boboiboy noticed her hands are a bit shaky while the expression on her face seemed flat, "Are you okay? Is there something wrong?" Lia shook her head, "Me? Ah, yes I'm okay, of course. What could possibly go wrong?"

"You lying about your feelings can go wrong," Boboiboy softly reminded her, not believing that she is fine. "It's okay, Li. We can talk about it. I'm here." Still, Lia shook her head, "There's nothing to talk about. I said I'm okay. I'm just... tired."

Boboiboy didn't buy her excuse, especially with the forced smile on her face. In the years of knowing Lia, he can now read her like a book and with that, he knows that she's definitely not fine. "Lia..."

Lia gave out a defeated sigh, realizing that she won't win against him, "Fine... I've heard from Leizel about Maskmana's offer to you." Her statement surprised Boboiboy to the point his eyes widened, which gave a message to Lia.

"And I just realized that's the reason why you and Fang have been talking a lot lately, am I right?" Lia asked, crossing her arms. "Look, you didn't have to hide it from me, you know? I feel stupid that I don't have an idea about it."

"I didn't tell you yet because I'm still not decided about it. Yes, his offer is pretty attractive as what it seems but... I have to leave Earth for a long while with no assurance of when will I go back. Surely, a span of six months is too short for that." Boboiboy explained, carefully not triggering Lia's emotions.

"But you want it, right? Like, being a higher-up in the station, I know you want it. It has been your dream to serve the station with the hopes of protecting the galaxy with your might." Lia said, her eyes softening all of a sudden.
