Blessed by Night

73 [Bonus chapter]You Don’t Have To Be Alone

Once Mal was able to recover from his Luna induced stupor, he inquired about the circumstances behind her appearance and was surprised that his girlfriend was the main culprit.

After Malachi sent her home, Sei immediately pulled out her phone and contacted Luna to inform her about everything that had happened at the mall and the fact that he was still on the scene.

Because gate breaks are wholly unpredictable and no one can be quite sure what will emerge, both girls were admittedly very worried and it was decided that Luna would suit up personally to check on him.

Currently, the two of them were standing side by side as they supervised the mall cleanup.

After the dungeon boss was defeated, the crack that they originated from finally closed up and the blizzard finally ceased to blow.

Despite that, the piles of snow didn't fade away just because the blizzard was no more and the mall still resembled a snowy mountain peak.

Luna was still replaying the testimony of the survivors in her mind, and she could barely believe what she'd heard.

"A gate break appearing out of thin air... This is insane." She mumbled as she finally freed her hair from it's braided appearance.

At her side, Malachi's face looked to be equally serious. "Luna... did I ever tell you what happened the night I got blessed?"

Surprised by this turn of events, Luna looked at Mal like she didn't understand where he was going with this. "You haven't... tell me about it."

"After I received all of my blessings, Raijin was seemingly worried about me becoming overconfident and warned me not to be complacent.

He spoke of worse things that lie beyond the gates, and I can't help but feel like these spontaneous breaks are only a harbinger of the worse things that will come."

"!..."

Luna looked to be struggling with this sudden revelation and it took a few moments for her usual icy composure to return.

"Do you believe that these 'worse things' will be limited to spontaneous gate breaks or could there be something else?"

Malachi did not answer immediately and instead held out his hand to produce a small golden flame.

He controlled the fire to melt the lingering snow around them while thinking hard about how to answer without scaring her.

"You know I usually like to be optimistic but... I'm honestly expecting the worst case scenario."

Luna nodded and took a moment to begin formulating plans.

If their world was going to be overrun by creatures they had no comprehension of, then that meant they needed to make sure that certain insurances were taken out in advance.

In the midst of her mental calculations, a sudden question surfaced in her mind. "Am I the only one you've told about this?"

14:13

Mal suddenly stopped smiling as he looked at Luna with an expression of genuine curiosity.

"The women who love me, huh? That include you by any chance?"

The white haired beauty suddenly looked slightly embarrassed and Mal thought that maybe she was not going to answer him.

But after a few seconds, she parted her lips to give an honest answer.

"...I cannot say but... I do know that this is the first time I have felt like this in a very long time."

For a moment, the two simply stared at each other without speaking as they became unaware of the world around them.

It seemed like the two were going to close in for their very first kiss when they both became aware of an eerie silence.

All around them, members of immortal moon were staring at the two with expressions that ranged from 'OMG, really?' to 'it's about damn time.'

Embarrassed, the two quickly put a distance of five feet between each other and tried to return to some sense of normalcy.

"...Think they'll go all the way this year?" Mal suddenly asked.

Luna's expression suddenly became ugly as she immediately understood what Mal was talking about.

"Hell no. Burrow doesn't have enough help."

"Hahaha!"

Back at Malachi's apartment, Sei was seated comfortably on the couch while smiling at the scene in front of her.

After getting out of the bath, Anna declined Sei's offer to be driven to a medical facility and instead requested only an ice pack.

Once it was administered, she fell asleep on the couch next to a lightly snoring Serana.

Both girls seemed to be tired beyond belief, and Sei couldn't help but wonder when the last time she'd seen her daughter with a girl friend around her age.

'I should take a picture of this to tease her later...' Sei thought in amusement.

Pulling out her phone, she had just opened the camera and prepared to take a picture when her device suddenly began to vibrate and she received a phone call that she had been anxiously awaiting.
