Ch. 17 Meteria Pov

( Meteria Pov ) 

" Yuto went into the dungeon again. He just exited it this morning." My sister Alfia reported as she helped me with breakfast. 

I sighed. 

' Oh Yuto... why can't you take a break for once?' I asked myself how a small child could do something reckless, especially going to he dungeon blind. 

I always thought of Yuto as I stroked the ring on my finger given by Yuto. 

There was a small carving of our initials together. 

I smiled but was also angry at Yuto for not listening. 

I pouted as my sister looked at me with an annoyed expression. 

"Thinking of that brat? He should be fine." My sister spoke as I continued to pout. 

" Sigh." My sister sighed as she put the plate as I wasn't in the mood to eat. 

" I'll be back." She spoke as she left the room. 

I stayed in bed with a pout on my face.

[ Orcs Defeated 50/50 ] 

[ Rewards: 25 crafting material: 10 Leather, 15 iron ore ] 

I clicked my tongue as there wasn't any more quest to hunt Orcs anymore.

' But still, it feels like there is something off about this system, like it's missing something.' I thought. 

I was too tired to continue as I left back to the Familia to update my status. 

" Gotta say kid, you're something else... I don't know if I should be worried about you going to the dungeon every day or glad. " 

Zeus gave me my status page.

[ Lighting Bolt ] - Lvl 3 - 

I was glad that I was able to level up my Lighting Bolt spell to level 3. 

I was able to save mana and reduce the chanting time. 

" Bit still... when were you going to tell me you had a spell!!" He shouted. 

" Eh, I didn't feel like it." I shrugged. 

" I... never mind, you're just a weird kid anyway." He replied as he waved me off. 

I got off the chair and put my shirt back on as I heard a commotion. 

* Boom! * 

The doors crashed open as I saw Meteria's sister, Alfia, and Zald standing behind her with crossed arms. 

I could feel the disappointment on his face as he looked at me.

" You brat! You're making my sister worried about you!!!" She shouted as she made her ways towards me. 

" Oi kid, when were you going to tell us you had a relationship with a Hera Familia member?" Zald spoke. 

" Eh?" Zeus looked at me with stars in his eyes. 

" Seriously, Kid!? Does she have a big br...oofff!!!" 

Alfia punches the hik in the face. 

" Shut it pervert!!" 

I stepped back as I felt the shockwave from her punched as Zeus flew out the window. 

' That's what you get old man, thank God he didn't finish that senten...' My thoughts were interrupted as I felt myself being lifted. 

Alfia held my neck as she dragged out the mansion. 

" You're on your own kid!!" Zald shouted from afar as I tried to reach out, but I knew I wouldn't be saved. 

" You made Meteria worry." Alfia spoke. It was different from her angry tone she had just earlier. 

I sighed. 

" I'll apologize." I responded as I let myself be dragged as I felt the stares from everyone who came across us. 

A few seconds later, I was held up in front of Meteria. 

It was really sorry, something that should've been impossible for a cold killer like me. 

But I guess I wanted to feel the warmth of love again, just like from my previous parents. 

" I'm sorry, Meteria." I apologize. 

" Hmph!" She pouted. 

Whether it was that old hag or meteria or my Familia, they have brought me nothing but warmth. 

I was seventeen when I was trying to save the world. 

No friend, no lover, and no family. 

It was a lonely path I took upon myself to stop my friends and teacher. Even though I may have failed, I found my peace.

My home.

That's why I acted like a child my age should be because it was stripped away from me the moment I was born in my previous life. 

I sat down next to Meteria as Alia left the room.

" Meteria... I'm sorry I didn't listen... and I know I made you worry a lot for me. If you wish I could stay here all day with you." 

" Really?" Meteria looked at me in surprise. 

" What of your classes?" She asked. 

" Nimriel? I'm sure he'll be able to understand." I replied. 

Nimriel, he was a good person despite his hellish training. I cherish every moment with him. 

Maybe it was because he took pity upon me or he acted like an older brother, a strict older brother. 

Brok is like a drunk uncle who pops up once in a while to give me some tips and advice. 

Especially his wisdom with booze. 

They were nice people, and despite my dark nature to remain indifference, I decided to try something else. 

Maybe this is what God wanted for me. A better life in a different world. 

I held Meteria's hand as she held mine in return. 

" I'll be right here." I smiled as I felt her warm hands. 

" Then I shall cherish it." Meteria replied. 

I felt sleepy, but I tried to fight it off. 

" You look tired, Yuto. Why not sleep?" Meteria suggested. 

I shook my head. 

" I'll be fine..." 

" Nope! Sleep!" She commanded as she laid my head on the edge of the bed. 

It was comfortable and really soft. 

I felt myself drift to sleep as Meteria gently stroked my hair. It was soothing.

( Meteria Pov ) 

I giggled as I heard Yutos cute snores he made. 

I looked at him gently as I caressed his hair. It was soft, maybe even softer than mine. 

I sighed as I looked at Yutos sleeping face as I stroked his blindfold. 

" Oh yuto... how can the gods curse you with someone like you with this." I softly spoke to him as I stroked his scar that ran down his left eye. 

I wondered how he was able to walk normal. 

" No...do...n't..." 

It appears he was having a nightmare. 

I held Yutos hand and decided to be more bolder, I interlocked our fingers together. 

Truth be told, I was embarrassed as I felt my face grow hotter. 

' Uwa! I'm holding hands!! How could I be so lewd!!' I thought to myself. 

But I still enjoyed this feeling in my heart. And the warmth we share.
