Well, the next few days went...weirdly.
Let's finish with the bad things. First, Nephis has begun to hang out with us.
I know she feels lonely since barely anyone talks to her, and it has been easier for her to hang out since we share a commo course.
I can't even ignore her without a reason without making it suspecious. And the worst thing?
Cassie is also getting along well with her, just like in the previous life.
I really hope I won't have to kill this nephilim, mostly for cassie that is.
Also, I am getting pretty famous, for the first bad news. Hanging out with a noble would undoubtly attract attention, so the three of us are now pretty well known.
Now onto the good things.
I am loving the wilderness survival class, mostly because of the knowledge I am receiving about the state of the dream realm after the golden era.
But too bad, most of the people don't remember me, I mean theyreally shouldn't, but its disheartening that my glorious deeds are not remembered.
Then comes the second thing, I am getting a hang of my dormant ability a it. In simple words, it is like shadow control, making me able to manupulate shadow along with other natural elements.
It's a good thing that I learned a little bit of shaping, but like before, I have no talent in it. But I am pretty sure I can merge it with Shadow Dance and improve it.
and the last good thing is, my relationship with cassie has improved by a milestone!
Truly, I didn't expect our relationship to progress so fast. So muchso that my current situation is making me, the once mighty emperor, nervous to his bone.
"What? Come inside and let's talk." She invited me so casually.
This is my first time entering a private space with her, her dorm room of all places.
I have too much experience with women to not know what the possibilities are.
Either we'll have a good talk and our relationship would improve, or I might get lucky tonight.
I wanted much myself a lot! What am I thinking! I love her, yes. But that doesn't mean I would go to her childhood and have right even before her teenage.
Cassie is barely three years away from teenage, what kind of pervert would think of her like that?
Well, That's me.
I may not feel regret about our physical age, of course, we're the same age in that way.
But mentally, I am a thousand year old man. I definitely would be traumatised. I have to avoid it.
As I sat on her bed, she sat beside me. The door is locked and the room is soundproof.
"God! I can't believe it's been two weeks already! Time sure flows fast."
"Yeah, we'll enter the dream realm in two more weeks." I said, tryig to move my attention.
"By the way, sunny, do you have anything you regret not doing? Maybe we could erase those regrets." She suggested.
I fell into a deep thought. I don't really regret anything. I am confident I can come back alive, but cassie does not have that privilage.
Her flaw alone makes her vulnerable, not to say it also restricts her former combat skills.
"I don't really have anyting to regret about." I said blankly, and asked her back.
"Do you have something you regret? I might be able to help." Her cheeks reddened.
"I do." She admitted, averting her eyes.
"Well, what is it?"
"..."
"..."
"You there?" I got her back to her senses.
"You want some alcohol?"
"What?" I am not so shocked by this. Before, children could drink alcohol from the age of 15, but sex was approve from the age of 30, and people were considered adults from the age of 40, but most people prefer to be in relationship and marriage from 50 to 70.
So I don't really find it so odd, I am confused as to how she got it? Dreamers were prohibited from leaving the academy.
"I know what you're thinking. Actually, my mom came a few days ago and I asked her to buy one for me." She answered with red face.
She then followed a familiar movements and took out a bottle from the mini cooler.
She touche the cold bottle on her cheeks and asked while smiling, "Round up?"
***
Clink!
The cold and bitter liquid slided down our throats, a sweet taste lingering.
Our face flused, head light and a bit tipsy.
"You asked what I regret most." She suddenly began.
"It's Romance."
I didn't interrupt her, so she coninued.
"Before, I never understood what love felt like, not that I ever experienced it."' She took a sip.
"I never cared, but after my first nightmare till now, when the fear of death is so close, I feel regretful." She took another sip.
"I watched many of my former friends have boyfriend, watched them act all lovey-dovey and cope with breakup. Now, I wish to experience it at least once..." She sipped again, this time finishing her glass. After placing the glass on the floor, she looked up at me.
"I don't really know what these feelings are, and I also don't know what I want, But..." She paused.
"...can you be my boyfriend? Only if just until we enter the dream realm?" She gave me a look, pleading almost.
I didn't know why, but my resolve before I entered the room began to shake.
After a few moment of silence, Cassie stood up, her hand on my neck after clumsy attempts, breath hitting my face.
"I know my condition might not be up to your taste...But....can you do it, Just for me?"
I don't know what to do, my resolves are already broken. Her lips, looks so tempting, I just want to pounce on her.
My carefully thought out plan is speed up a bit too much. Too fast for me to adjust.
FUCK!! Fuck my plan! Plans will never go your way. But if the result is the same, then who cares.
I have wreacked havoc all of the realms for her, bending my morals for her is not so difficult.
The glass slipped from my hands, my nose taking in her unique scent. I put my hands on her waist, feeling her slender figure through her clothes.
I pushed her on the bed, towering over her, our breath mingling and our nose almost touching.
"Don't you dare regret this..." I mumbled, clear enough for her to hear.
Her lips curved into a smile, her hand caressing my face and her soft lips mothing,
"Okay..."
