Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

After calming down considerably, Acht turned around to Lein who was looking at him with a surprised look, and said.

"Let's go. I have things I want to ask you."

She didn't respond immediately since she was still flabbergasted by Acht's ability to pull off such a dangerous task and still get out pretty much unscathed.

But, she then shook her head and erased such thoughts before she started swimming toward him.

He was also about to turn around and leave but stopped when she did something unexpected.

She had closed up on him and tapped on his back once and muttered.

"Thanks for saving my life."

Her words were quick and almost inaudible but he was able to hear them clearly. However, he chose not to say anything and merely start swimming.

The truth is, he didn't save her because he wanted to but because she said something that might affect him greatly so her gratitude, as much as he doesn't care about it, is not something he could accept nor even pretend to accept.

The two then went back on their way to the chores without talking, the only thing they did was to look ahead of them while in deep thoughts.

Soon, they were able to see the shore on the horizon. The mission they did was not that long as it took barely a few hours but it was indeed a bad experience for both of them that made them reach their limit.

Inwardly, they both sighed a sigh of relief and relaxed considerably.

Then, when they reached the shore, they sat down to rest after the hectic day. Each one of them then looked at the sunset that was happening at the moment, announcing the end of a long day.

The scenery was somehow even more beautiful than normal. There are many possible reasons for that but the most important one is that both of them are now cherishing their lives even more than before.

Their job and their normal life were basically a constant gambling with death itself. They were aware of that but sometimes they forget that fact for a split second.

"Sigh…" A sigh escaped Lein's mouth unintentionally.

She then spoke with a low, almost quiet tone.

"Why did you save me? I know it wasn't because you are trying to be nice or anything like that." She said,

Acht didn't answer immediately as he wallowed in the scene and organized his thoughts.

"A few words you said before you lost consciousness…that's what made me save you." He responded.

"What words?"

"Something along the lines of 'I will finally go back to my own World'. What did you mean by that?"

His words seemed to have an impact on Lein as her face immediately paled and she looked restless but she returned back to normal almost immediately.

"What are you talking about? I was already losing consciousness so I was saying some stupid shit." She tried to deny him.

"You think that I will believe that one of the strongest humans in the world would hallucinate before losing consciousness? Try another lie or don't even reply in the first place." Acht said with a cold tone.

He was sure that she wasn't saying nonsense since barely a second before that she was having a fairly sane conversation with him.

Then, like a mouse caught in a trap, she decided not to beat around the bush any further.

"...why are you interested in those words…don't tell me..you are.."

As realization fell on her, she looked at Acht with a shocked look as if she was eyeing an alien from another world.

Acht wasn't intending to lie in the first place so he responded honestly.

"From another world? Yes, pretty much and it seems to be the same case for you." He said.

Even though she already knew that response was coming, the words still made her feel chaotic. She didn't know how to react to that fact at all.

"I had the idea that maybe there are other people like me in this world that were reincarnated. But, it is still weird to meet one of them."

"...How could that be?"

"I don't know. I just died, opened my eyes in a weird white room and…"

"A goddess named Livia appeared and gave you the choice to either reincarnate or die." She continued his words as if she was reading from a paper.

Acht peeked at her for a moment before adding.

"Yes, that's exactly what happened. This makes it easier for me to ask my questions and I want honest answers."

He turned around and continued.

"Did you come from a world named the earth?" He asked.

"...Earth? I had never heard of such a place before. My world was named Loon." She shook her head as she said.

Acht felt slightly disappointed at that fact but he still didn't lose hope completely.

"Do you know a way back to your previous world?"

"I don't know if Livia told you this or not…but, if you die in this world then she will meet you again, and maybe she would even help you go back to your own world. At least that's what she told me when I first went there."

Acht felt his mind stop working for a moment as a thousand thoughts passed through his mind in a split second. Then, as if he lost all strength in his body, he laid back on the sand and looked up with a huge frown.

"Fuck…it was all useless in the end. That fucking bitch!" He shouted to himself.

Lein didn't understand why he was that disappointed so she asked.

"Didn't she tell you that?".

"Hahaha!! Why the fuck would she? That bitch of a goddess probably wants me to rot her forever just so that she could entertain her twisted desires. Fuck!! I thought I was this close to finding a clue. Dammit!" He kept cursing repeatedly.

All the frustration he had kept getting bigger and bigger.
