Chapter 688 - 688. A Kiss Before Farewell
"Forget about me. What's wrong with you? How did you get so seriously injured?" Myne asked carefully, helping her wipe water from her face.
"Well... We came too close to the source of pollution, and we finally discovered what the other rooms in our mindscape are for..."
"After my sister felt something trying to take control of her body, she immediately distanced herself from you. The curse took over us, and a completely new personality first locked us in a loop in the hospital awaken and then completely took over."
"She started destroying everything and eating crazily to strengthen the curse, which not only created countless weird things in our mindscape but even tried to kill us. Later, while we were dealing with the mess in our mindscape, that b*tch fought with every random monster that came before her, regardless of whether she could handle them or not, injuring our body severely."
"Thankfully, after you destroyed the source of the collapse, she, for some reason, stopped and returned to her room, along with the monsters she created. But until then, we were too exhausted, both mentally and physically, and fell into a coma."
The woman in black explained with an ugly expression, clearly indicating their third sister had given them a fair share of trouble.
"Did you check if she's locked properly in her room? It would be troublesome if she came out again. You might not be as lucky as this time. It was only because of my interface that she honestly returned to her room after playing around a bit, god knows if she refuses to do that the next time" Myne asked worriedly, but his eyes couldn't help but move to the teleportation countdown, which was rapidly approaching zero.
"Don't worry. The first one is taking care of that. But you'd better take me back to the apartment. I urgently need to eat a lot to heal myself. I've lost too much blood," The woman in black spoke with a forced smile, obviously in pain and using all her willpower to pretend to be fine.
"Sorry, dear, but I don't think I can take you home. I can already sense it. My time here is almost up. If my calculations are correct, I'll be forced to return to my world in about a minute or so..."
"What! But... but... you promised to stay with me until the end!" The woman in black, hearing the shocking news, disregarded her injuries, jumped into his arms, grabbed his collar, and exclaimed.
"And I still remember my promise very well, dear. But this isn't within my control. At the end of the day, I'm just an intruder in your world, who came through some backdoor. So, it's only natural that after I made so much noise, the world will naturally notice me and throw me out."
"Even if I wanted to stay, I can't do anything about it. Just remember to become powerful and stay alive. Since fate allowed us to come together, there's always a chance we can find each other again."
Saying that, Myne gave the woman in black, who was crying hard silently, a gentle hug and a short, passionate kiss, before turning his head to the tentacle uncle, who was watching the drama with a complicated expression. He hadn't expected that Myne, who not only helped them deal with the source of the collapse but also let him meet his daughter, would leave so soon.
"Take this. It might be more useful for you than me," Myne said with a smile, throwing his half-broken golden watch, which thankfully was still working well.
"So, what now?" He asked curiously wondering what this crazy scientist was going to do next.
"The completely polluted monsters in the city have all disappeared, but there are still many pollutants, and other weird people like me, who are not completely polluted, should also be alive," The tentacle uncle murmured.
"But I didn't expect that the source of the horrible pollution that existed for two years would be solved just like that. I just saw the three gigantic monsters being caught by the giant magma hand. Could it be that you are the saviour sent to this world?"
"Don't accuse me blindly. I'm not that great, as you can see by what I'm holding in my hands," Myne said jokingly, giving the woman in black a quick kiss.
"And although the source of pollution has been solved, it hasn't been completely eradicated. In the past two years, countless pollutants and weird things are expected to appear in this world."
"The rest is up to you. I'm leaving this world now. By the way, take good care of my woman. When I come back, I want to see her in good condition, otherwise, you'll be in big trouble."
The tentacle uncle, hearing the blunt threat and the additional trouble Myne threw his way, was startled. His expression was solemn, and he finally understood why Myne was willing to give him his magical clock, which could defend him even against the strongest pollution.
"I will try my best but don't hold out too much hope. I also have my own share of trouble to deal with."
Because the cooldown time was almost at zero, Myne didn't bother with the tentacle uncle anymore. He hurriedly turned his attention back to his girlfriend.
"Remember, we will definitely meet again. Just don't forget me until then," He said in a hurry before kissing her desperately, while hugging her and caressing her buttocks. He wanted to remember every part of her.
And while they were lost in their moment, a white light enveloped Myne and his pets' entire bodies, and the next moment, they disappeared from the spot.
The woman in black, who had been enjoying the last moment, was stunned by the sudden loss of presence and the feeling of being hugged and kissed by someone she loved. When she opened her eyes, she found that Myne had vanished.
The tentacle uncle shook his head, looked at the devastated city, clenched the clock in his hand, and then made a decision.
"Do you think he will come back?" The woman in black asked, after a few moments of regaining her senses. She gritted her teeth and walked to the tentacle uncle.
"I believe he will, maybe not for me, but for you. I don't think a pervert like him would leave his woman alone in a strange world. People like him are too greedy and narrow-minded; they can't bear to see their woman fall into someone else's hands."
"He will definitely come back for you," The tentacle uncle said. He, who had previously barely spoken a dozen words to the woman in red or black despite staying with them for nearly a year, now starts chatting like a father talking to his daughter. He helped her stand up properly, and they both walked casually toward the apartment while talking.
...
[ World Teleportation Complete. ]
[ System is unlocking the remaining features and will be unusable for the next two hours. ]
After saying that, the system fell silent, leaving Myne speechless. The system hadn't even started working properly yet and was already going into maintenance. He didn't have much confidence in it.
No longer thinking about his not-so-reliable system, Myne looked around and found that he was standing in the cave from which they had been pulled into the strange world. Fearing that the weird hole might pull them in again and throw them into another creepy world, he hurriedly looked over but was surprised to find that the hole, along with the weird metal walls, had all disappeared, leaving only a plain stone wall behind.
Obviously, after they cleared the world, the abyss teleportation, which connected both worlds and swallowed people, had also been destroyed or perhaps relocated somewhere else.
"Phew, finally another trouble solved. I hope Garnet (his mother-in-law, girlfriend, and the queen of the kingdom) will give me a good reward for my hard work, after all, I have made such a great contribution to the kingdom," Myne muttered, and quickly walked out of the cave with Waffle, Ted, and Ocea, no longer wanting to stay inside the sinister cave for another second.
"Um, Myne, how are we going to deal with Mother? I don't think she'll be in a good mood right now, since we've disappeared from the face of our world for nearly ten days," Waffle asked nervously, already sweating profusely, thinking about what Fenrir would do to him after they met. He knew that Myne was his only hope for salvation.
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a perfect excuse. You can rest assured about her," Myne said seriously, patting his chest with full confidence.
"What about me, Brother Myne? You won't let me get punished, right?" Ocea hurriedly floated beside Myne and asked in a pitiful tone, trying to use her puppy-eye trick to fool Myne into taking her share of the blame as well.
"You too, don't worry. I will handle everything, Fenrir and Cetus are nothing before me. You guys just wait and watch how I settle this entire matter in a few words. They won't say a single word to me after hearing my explanation."
Hearing Myne's confident words, Waffle and Ocea breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, they had really feared that Myne might abandon them and throw the blame on their heads to save his own ass—but thankfully, he was more reliable than they had expected.
What do you think?
