Chapter 46

Part 1 - Treasure Hunting

...

<POV: Carene>

Hugging the documents folder tightly, I ran down the hallways of the College buildings, as I found my way through the premises towards the parking area. When I tried to look for our car, I could see Sis Lin standing outside her red car.

As I quickly made my way towards her, I noticed a little smile blooming up on Sis Lin's face.

"Back already, Carene? Did everything go well in there? Or.. were there any issues with the other documents?"

Reaching Sis Lin, I quickly shook my head as I began to gasp for breath. Really, I had done a lot of running today. Maybe I overdid it a bit?

While I was still getting myself back to breathing normally, Sis Lin quietly took out a pink handkerchief and began to wipe away the sweat from my face. I couldn't help but blush a bit at her sincere action, which somehow seemed more fitting for one's girlfriend.

N-No! Carene, don't let yourself get lost in those sweet delusions. This is the real world, not a fantasy land. Not every stupid delusion of yours... would become true.

Sis Lin here is just... being a little considerate toward myself. Don't cultivate unnecessary misunderstandings by yourself, alright?

Although I kept trying to tell that to myself and no matter how much I tried to push those feelings of bliss down, they unceasingly kept getting back up, making me unable to stop them at all.

Well... should I try letting myself get lost in these delusions for once? Since I am unable to overcome these troubling emotions of mine at this point, then better let them rampage all around instead!

No use fighting myself, right?

After properly stabilizing my breath, I noticed that I had already been pulled inside Sis Lin's car with the air conditioner turned on. Sis Lin, however, was still looking at me with her eyes full of concern.

Sis Lin... if you would continue to be like this today, then... I might really lose all of my control over my sanity!

Not wanting to trouble Sis Lin or to let her worry over myself anymore, I spoke to her,

"Don't worry, Sis Lin. The documentation procedures have been finalized. From now onwards, I can attend College lectures regularly. For your help and company today... thank you very much. I know that you were troubled a lot while helping me all the time before. Still, you never complained. You tried to silently bear all of the burdens to help me to the utmost. I-If... Only if it wasn't for me, then you..."

I suddenly stopped between my statement when I noticed Sis Lin tightly grasping my hands within hers. As I turned to look her in the eyes, she had a very gentle and warm look in them, as she then spoke to me,

"No, Carene. It certainly didn't happen because of you. No need to even think about it, okay? Earlier, that man... he is the one who was responsible for disturbing our time earlier. Trust your Sis Lin's words, I really am alright now. As for that man... he would eventually be brought to justice. His dirty deeds would surely land him in prison one day."

As Sis Lin spoke of that perverted old man, a few wrinkles appeared on her forehead as she lowered her head to look down at our clasped hands.

"Bad people like them think that they actually have power over us. That's actually a very laughable fact. No matter how strong they may try to appear, their false, inflated ego is just like a tower made of cards. With just one strong push, it would all end up crashing down into nothing. One day, for sure... he would surely pay for all that he has done."
