Confession (1st LB: Ep-5)

"Captain, Now" - Lucas and Lilly

As Ash was confused by the whole situation she reacted to the shout unconsciously.

She gave her full-strength attack from above.

"Skill: Intent Reverse" - Zen

Zen changed his hands back and his spear came to normal.

(Tang!)

Zen intercepts her attack with his spear. Both of their weapons made contact.

Zen lifts his spear from below.

Ash loses her balance as she starts to fall behind.

Zen noticed that, as he quickly catches her like a prince catches a princess while falling behind during dance.

(Ba-dum!)

(Ba-dum!)

"Zen, is that you?" - Ash

"Ash?" - Zen

'Is he Zen?' - Ash

'Did my wish come true?' - Ash

'No way! I think it is just my dream' - Ash

'I probably got knocked out when they ganged up on me' - Ash

'Even if it is a dream, I can't hold it any longer' - Ash

"Zen" - Ash said as she slowly brought her face close

"Yes" - Zen said as he blushes

Their face was so close that they can feel the other person's breath.

(Ba-dum!)

(Ba-dum!)

"I love you" - Ash

"Huh?" - Zen

(Chuu)

(Kiss!)

Ash gave him a deep Lip-lock.

Zen was flabbergasted.

As they were kissing the smoke rose up and then Lucas and Lilly got a clear view of what is happening.

'What the hell is happening right now?' - Lucas

'Why is captain kissing a stranger?' - Lucas

'Now that I think about it, that face is a little bit familiar' - Lucas

"Huh?" - Lucas

"Huuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh?" - Lucas

"Zen!" - Lucas

"What? Zen?" - Lilly

"Yeah, looking closely he really resembles Zen. But he got taller" - Lucas

"You are right. But did he not die on a dungeon clear?" - Lilly

"I did thought it was strange, but to think he survived, I am really really glad" - Lucas

"That thing aside, why are they not stopping?" - Lilly

Ash was in her own world trying to enjoy every last bit.

Zen was shocked by this occurrence and didn't know what to do because he has Zero experience in Romance.

"Umm, Captain can you hear us?" - Lucas

"I bet she was thinking it was her dream" - Lilly

"Yeah totally" - Lucas

"Hahaha" - Lucas and Lilly

"Captain! It is not a dream, it is real" - Lucas

'Yummy! Yummy!' - Ash

'Yummy??????' - Ash

'It's real! I can taste his lips' - Ash

She quickly slipped her lips and jumped back.

'What should I do? I kissed him without realizing it was real all along' - Ash as she Blushes

Her face was bright red.

But the only face which was red was not Ash's.

Zen's face was also bright red.

He was very flustered.

But Zen quickly regained his composure and put a bright smile on his face and said this.

"Long time no see, guys" - Zen

"You bet, you crazy bastard" - Lucas

Lucas quickly leaped into Zen's arms.

Lucas hugged him tightly and started to cry.

"Yosh, Yosh" - Zen as he pats his head.

Everyone was so happy.

After a while, everyone calmed down.

They sat down and started their talk.

"First of all, I am very sorry. I kissed you without your consent. I thought it was a dream" - Ash

"It's ok Ash. I enjoyed it thoroughly so don't feel bad about it" - Zen

"Oh, ok" - Ash as she blushes

"Zen, tell us what happened during your dungeon clear" - Lucas

"Yeah, I think I should at least tell you guys what happened because you were the guys that helped me the most" - Zen

Zen explained every single detail about what happened during that day.

"That bastards! If I ever come across them in the future I will cut them into pieces and feed them to dogs" - Lucas

"Yeah, I feel the same" - Lilly

"Because of me, they targeted you. I feel guilty" - Ash

"Don't be, It is their fault, don't feel bad about you" - Zen

"Tell us, what happened after that. How did you become this much stronger?" - Lucas

'Is it ok to tell them about you and Marshal, Candise?' - Zen

'I checked through your memory, they are all good people' - Candise

'Let me take over' - Candise

(flash!)

(Toing!)

Candise appeared in a form of a small fairy which is visible to others.

"You can do that too?" - Zen

"Of course, I can" - Canidse

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt?" - Everyone

"Who is this Zen?" - Ash

"Let me tell you" - Candise

Candise explained what is she and how Zen got stronger due to the God-level Magic system.

She also told the story of his adventure.

****2 Hours Later****

"You have been through a lot, Zen. Take it easy from now on. You are not alone anymore" - Lucas

"Yeah Zen. Please depend on us from now on" - Ash

"Thank you guys" - Zen

"That thing aside, she is really cute Zen" - Lilly

"To think she was an exclusive system just for you, I am so jealous" - Lucas

"Me too, I need this cute system besides me all the time" - Lilly

"She is cute? Don't let her cuteness fool you" - Zen

"She has a sharp tongue, she cursed me many times and gave me Emotional damage lot" - Zen

"Don't lie!" - Lucas and Lilly

"Believe me guys" - Zen

"Umm, I believe you Zen" - Ash

Ash was overwhelmed by Zen's Hotness that she didn't pay that much attention to Candise's Cuteness.

"Thank you Ash, at least you believed me" - Zen

"Umm, Captain" - Lucas and Lilly

"She was just staring at Zen's face non-stop, I bet she was in her own world" - Lilly to Lucas's ears

"Yeah totally" - Lucas

"Hehehe" - Lucas and Lilly

"Ok enough about Candise, what are you all going to do from now on" - Zen

"We expected you to join our crew but you are too strong for that" - Lucas

"Yeah, now what should we do?" - Lilly

"Umm, I have a great Idea" - Ash

"Oh as expected of captain, tell us" - Lucas

"Why not we join Zen's crew?" - Ash

"Ok, huh?" - Lucas

"Huuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh?" - Lucas and Lilly

"Captain, have you gone mad?" - Lilly

"But now that I think about it, It is a great Idea" - Lucas

"Lucas? Why are you agreeing with her?" - Lilly

"Zen is known for his strategy in his Academy days, I think he suits to be captain of our crew" - Lucas

"Hmm, what are your thoughts about it Zen?" - Lilly

"Why not give it a try?" - Zen

"I am also interested in leading a crew" - Zen

'Yes, he accepted. From now on I can travel with Zen' - Ash

"Ok let's give it a try" - Lilly

"Ash, come with me a second, I need to talk to you" - Lilly

"Oh ok" - Ash

****At a particular corner****

"Hey Ash, I know you love Zen. But is this really ok?" - Lilly

"I always considered giving the captain position to Zen if he ever joins our crew" - Ash

"Why? Is that because of love" - Lilly

"No" - Ash

"Let me tell you a story then you decide yourself" - Ash

"Ok, tell me" - Lilly

"One day I followed his crew to the dungeon to see what he is capable of, back when he was in Mike's team" - Ash

"It is when they challenged Big wolf on floor 25 for the first time" - Ash

"There he put himself in a dangerous position even when he is the weakest among them" - Ash

"Even when all of them were overwhelmed by the power difference, he quickly regained his composure and lead them to escape" - Ash

"It is because of him all of them were alive today" - Ash

"If I were in his position, I am not sure that I acted the same way as he did" - Ash

"That is the moment, I decided to give him my captain position if he ever joins our crew" - Ash

"Hmm, if this is true then I believe in your judgment" - Lilly

"Thank you for respecting my decision" - Ash

"Oh I almost forget to mention" - Lilly

"What?" - Ash

"Don't make it very obvious. You are very much drooling every time you see Zen" - Lilly

"Don't tease me" - Ash as she blushes

"Hehehe" - Lilly
