137 Boys Talk

I smiled subconsciously.

"Why are you smiling like an idiot?"

G got near me after resting for a while.

"I'm using points to get random to help me in the fight and just got a 2x."

"What is that?"

"… Two powers."

"Holy S**T Spence, you are getting two new powers just like that?"

"Actually I already got 2 before."

…

"Bulls**t…"

"Hey! you got that battery perk thanks to me, maybe in the future when I got stronger, you will get more stuff too."

"Stupidly broken ability…. That would be awesome thou, what did you get?"

"A physical power temporal boost, and Enhanced Stamina so I don't get tired to fast."

"Ladies will love that."

He tried to tease me moving his eyebrows…

"You really want to make THAT joke knowing that I date your sister?"

I teased back, G smile was frozen at the mention of Rose.

"You really forgot that I'm dating your sister?"

"It's not that I forgot it's just that I prefer to avoid reality and most of the time I ignore or avoid it…"

I was pretty sure that deep inside his blood should be boiling, probably Dante did something, so he doesn't think about it too much…he is getting used to it slowly. With Rose, we have been together for less than two weeks, and we are already sleeping together every night, it's not like something else has happened, but he usually would be against it. Instead must of the time he just ignore it.

I hope I didn't break a seal with the comment or something.

Unlike what I thought he seemed to be pondering about something… I'll have to talk with Dante about this though.

"What's on your mind?"

"I'm thinking why I don't feel as bad as I thought it would be about you sleeping with my sister."

Crap maybe I did break a seal.

"I think there are various reasons…"

"For example?"

"For starter, even if you say it like that you know that we are just sleeping… Also, there is the fact that you know that I like her and will never do something to hurt her… about the sleeping part, with all that has happened, you know that she is safer with me than in any other place…"

"Why is your side safer than mine."

"G… that would be a little weird don't you think?… and let's be honest a truck can run you over in the night, and you wouldn't notice it…"

"…"

"Also, it makes both of us happy, and you care for her AND for me. You know? Going to sleep and waking up with her at my side is usually the highest point of my days, It never gets better than that."

"Wow, you really like her…"

"Of course, I like her idiot, I don't know how you haven't picked that part."

He nodded, understanding.

"To be honest at the beginning, I thought that it was related to one of those quests you got, like the kiss one."

"That's not true, you wouldn't have let us be together if you thought that, and by no means, we would be sharing a room either…"

He frowned and started to think.

"Now that you mention it is weird…"

Dante…

"I think that deep down you know that we like each other, and we are a great couple."

"That's true… both of you are math nerds."

I laughed a little.

"Hey watch your mouth, I'm a physics Nerd… Since we are in the topic what's the deal with Emma?"

He suddenly turned serious which surprised me a lot.

"I don't know Spence… She is special, I don't know what it is, but without a doubt, there is something about her that I can't explain. She seems familiar too by the way."

At that time I had a little flashback.

A serious teenager G talking about his last crush…

"Hahaha, I know from where you know her!!"

"What!?! tell me!"

"We should start moving though, I'll tell you when we arrived at Green Shelter."

"C'mon men don't be like that!! You there are still five minutes left, and you haven't even gotten your new powers!"

Right… I have to pick Tough Skin too.

Since I was talking with him, I didn't notice that the wheel already stopped two times and my two new powers were ready to be activated…

[Congratulations user for Obtaining Courage Inducement, do you wish to activate your power? (Y/N)]

[Congratulations user for Obtaining Lust Inducement, do you wish to activate your power? (Y/N)]

"This has to be a joke…"

"Why would I be joking? I really want to know."

"I'm talking about the powers I got…"

"What did you get?"

…

"Courage inducement."

"Oh that's nice it will help these bunch of softies to stop trying to run away from the battle. And the other one?"

I debated with myself about telling him or not. Usually, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"Lust inducement, It will be a little harder to use it in battle, but I think that fighting with a boner should be more difficult, right?"

"…"

"What?"

"Don't try that on my sister…"

"I wouldn't do that… if you need it, I can use it on Emma."

I said joking.

"F**K off! Don't you dare! she has gone through enough shit already."

"Wow so protective of someone that you don't remember."

"Stop with that and just tell me."

"Ok… I'm going to give you a hint for now. You had a Crush on her about 5 years ago."

"How do you remember this shit!!"

"I don't know… it hit me just now, I remember that it happened the same way it happened now… "What's the deal with Emma." "She is special, I don't know what it is Spence, but without a doubt, there is something about her that I can't explain." Exact same words. Of course, I never saw her at the time, so it's impossible for me to know if it is the same girl… I remember you were crying around because she disappeared shortly after."

"Hey! I never cried for her!… Holy S**t I remember now."

"You are welcome, now we have to move soon so get ready to…"

…

I turned around for a second, but I could see him going towards the main groups… probably to talk with Emma. Wow, this really affected him.

"YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES!!"

I noticed a thumbs up to acknowledge that he heard me. I continued where I left before his interruption.

'System chose Tough Skin and activate my two new powers.'

I could feel my skin stiff for a second before going back to normal. It scared the hell out of me since I depend on my speed to fight. The stiffness was followed by a weird trance in which my mind was invaded by both emotions both emotions. It stopped as soon as it started but I felt… weird. Luckily Cold Mind helped control both emotions.

[Synergy Effect found between Tough Skin and Damage resistance.]

[Damage resistance passive effect improved]

[Damage Resistance Skill Level up, Lv.1->Lv.2]

[F-Rank Mind-Special ability Obtained: Courage Inducement]

[F-Rank Mind-Special ability Obtained: Lust Inducement]

[Charisma already at Maxed out, points saved for later]

Well, at least I should be prepared a little better than before and is not like I can fight with all the beasts alone so the courage inducement may come handy for group fights.

I might be able to max out all attributes if I complete this mission. I wonder if there is a reward for it…

I stood up and looked towards the west. The conversation with G helped me ease my worries and relax a little at this moment, With Rose keeping watch there was no problem in doing it, but I had to focus once again in survival

I have a comfy bed waiting for me.
