Thanks for the reviews everyone, love the support! :D イノキ • Inoki
Previously: Elsword's lips pressed against hers. Again, they were both shocked and blushing. Eve sneaked a small laugh as Moby pushed Elsword towards Aisha. The nasod girl quickly fled the scene, back to the inn.
Aisha immediately pulled away and slapped Elsword's face as hard as she could. "W-Would you stop doing that!?"
"Believe me, it wasn't deliberate!" He rubbed his cheek.
"S-So? How…how was it?" Aisha hid her face.
Elsword stared at her. "You're asking me to rate the kiss!?"
She slapped his other cheek. "No, you idiot! I meant…I meant did you…receive the mana?" Aisha said, checking that her mana was at zero.
Oh! Elsword saw that his mana was at 300. "Our mana's switched again! …So it really was the kiss…?"
Aisha sighed. "Apparently that's the only way to transfer the mana. This is my new skill, Elsword."
•
Raven and Elsword double slashed Berthe with their swords. The beast groaned in pain and started Howling at the Elgang.
"Don't use 300 mp skills!" Eve lectured the team while Iron Scrapping the Blue wolf.
"Got it!" Chung replied while reloading his cannon.
"Aisha, give me some mana!" Elsword shouted behind the roaring boss.
The void princess froze, her mind completely blanked out. Elsword wants to switch mana with me…? She blushed as she remembered their lips meeting. There's no way…!
"AISHA!" A voice snapped her out of her thoughts. What? How long was I standing here for? She noticed Berthe charging towards her, fangs showing and an evil look in the beast's eyes. Out of reflexes, Aisha casted Mana shield and braced herself for the attack. Instead of feeling pain, she heard the beast growl. Aisha opened her eyes to see Elsword standing over the blue wolf with blood dripping off his blade.
"Are you okay, Aisha?" The redhead asked through small breaths.
The mage quickly stood up and apologized. "Oh my gosh, Elsword! I'm so sorry, I-I should've-!"
Slap. Eve's hand whacked across Aisha's face. "You should have been watching and protected yourself." The Nasod flicked her long hair.
"Eve! That was a bit much." The blade master helped the victim on her feet again.
"Hmph. It wasn't that hard...sorry." She muttered.
"Eve's right though." Rena said. "Aisha, you have to start focusing in battle. You've been like this ever since we entered Feita!"
Chung nodded. "You're lucky we're here to help you otherwise, it could cost you your life."
"I-I know…I'm sorry…" Aisha hung her head. "It won't happen next time…"
"Haha, it better not!" Elsword casually joined into the lecture.
The void princess couldn't help but throw a Petite Angkor on the knight. "You idiot! YOU'RE THE REASON I CAN'T FOCUS!"
"Huh?" The group stared at Aisha while Eve secretly snickered.
"Uh, I mean, it's nothing!" The purple haired girl stomped off, exiting the dungeon.
Eve flicked her hair like a spoiled Queen. "Allow me to explain." She explained the details of the night Elsword and Aisha kissed and how Aisha was 'dealing' with the situation.
"Ohhhh." They tried to think of a solution to help the mage.
"I've got it!" Rena smirked evilly. "Just trust me."
"Uh, hello? Bat chewing my head doesn't ring a bell to anyone?" Elsword caught their attention while trying to rip the demon bat off of his scalp.
•
When the Elgang reached Velder, they prepared to enter Residential Area 3.
"The wyverns shouldn't be a problem; my magic can definitely knock them out!" Aisha shared, enthusiastically. Alright, today I'll show them that I can focus and win!
"Hah, bring it on, Aisha! My Sandstorm will wipe them all out before you even get the chance!" Elsword challenged.
"Aisha, Elsword, we need to talk." Eve started leading the pair off to a quiet area.
"Huh? Okay…" They both replied and followed obediently.
"Fufufu…" Rena smirked.
"Are you sure this will be alright?" Chung asked, slightly worried.
"Don't worry, Chung. I'm sure we can handle it by ourselves." Raven assured Chung, who nodded in reply.
•
"Eve, what's this all about?" Aisha looked around cautiously. We're pretty far away from the refugee camp…
They were standing in front of a small abandoned house.
"I thought you two would like to know…Rena's real age." Eve started.
"What!? Seriously!?" Elsword leaned in.
"Uh, is that even possible to put into numbers? I mean, no offense but she said 'when I was your size, your great-great grandfather wasn't even born!'" Aisha pointed out.
"Of course, but I don't want anyone else hearing." She signaled them to come closer, which they did. "Rena is about…"
"Yeah..?"
"Yes..?"
Suddenly, Moby and Remy pushed the two of them into the abandoned house and started barricading the door from the outside. They heard the rest of the Elgang wish them farewell.
"Have fun you two~!"
"WHAT!?" Aisha and Elsword shouted in unison.
•
After a few minutes of trying to break the door down, they decided to give up.
Elsword collapsed against the cold, hard wall. "What the heck, we can't even use our skills 'coz if we do, the house will crumble down on us!" He looked at Aisha to see what she was doing. "Uh, what are you doing?"
"Well, what does it look like!? I'm gonna teleport out of here so I don't have to be alone with you!" Aisha replied with annoyance in her tone.
"What!? Hey, teleport me outta here as well!" He grabbed her wrist to stop her from leaving him behind.
"D-Don't touch me!" She snatched her wrist away from him, panicked and blushing.
"Huh? Aisha, what's up with you?" He asked with a questioning look.
"I-It's nothing!"
"You're stuttering again."
"N-No I'm not!"
"Yes you are."
"Idiot!" She whacked him on the head with her staff.
"Ow, geez! What'd you have to hit me for!?" Elsword rubbed his head tenderly. He heard her staff scraping against the floor.
She was drawing a line between them, three quarters of the room was her side, one quarter his. "Step over this line and you're dead!"
"What the heck!? Why do you have more space than me!? How is this fair!?" He shouted, measuring the distance.
"Because it is, problem?" She grabbed Angkor out, threateningly.
"Err, no, of course not!" He gave her a fake reassuring smile.
"Good."
An awkward silence hung over them.
"Hey, Aisha…" Elsword looked at her from the corner of his eye.
"Yeah, what!?" She snapped at him.
"Why haven't you teleported out yet?"
Embarrassment was written all over her face. "Sh-Shut up! I was just about to!" The moment she teleported outside of the house, Eve's Nasod Scout was standing right next to her.
"Preparing Self-destruct Mode. Three…two…" The Nasod's monotone voice counted down threateningly.
"Eek!" Aisha unconsciously teleported back inside the abandoned house.
"…What are you doing?" Elsword gave her a dull look.
She noticed her surroundings and panicked. Not because she was back inside the house, but for a different reason. Her face flushed red as she stared into the knight's eyes. Elsword doesn't look half bad…
"Oi…" His voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "How long do you plan on staying here? Hurry up and get off of me!" His voice was slightly shaky while his face was as red as his hair.
Aisha realized how close their lips were and instinctively whacked him with her staff. "Y-You idiot! What do you think you're doing, pulling me down like that!?"
"I pulled you down!? You're the one that popped out of nowhere and tackled me!" Elsword rubbed his aching head.
"No way! Why would I even TOUCH you!?" She emphasized the word with disgust.
"WELL, YOU JUST DID!" He shouted back.
"YOU'RE JUST PINNING THE BLAME ON ME!"
"YOU'RE JUST USING THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO TOUCH ME!"
"WHAT THE- I'M GONNA KILL YOU, ELSWORD!" She grabbed his collar and raised her fist.
Just then, the door opened and the Elgang stared at them through the doorway.
"Oh- Sorry, did we interrupt you two?" Chung asked.
"Uh…what?" Elsword and Aisha stared at the evil group.
"Hey, it got quiet…are you two kissing again?" The elf smirked evilly.
"WHAT!? NO WAY!" Aisha shoved Elsword so hard, he fell to the ground.
"Whatever you say~" Rena started walking off with the others, with Elsword and Aisha following behind, spouting off about how they hated each other.
•
"So, did you guys talk much?" Chung asked, curiously.
"Huh? Talk?" Elsword turned to the deadly chaser.
"That's why we put you guys in there..." He face-palmed. "To sort out your problems so Aisha can start being normal again."
"Normal? Since when was I NOT normal?" Aisha glared at Chung.
"I'd say daydreaming when your life is in danger is pretty unusual." Raven muttered under his breath.
Eve slapped Raven. "If you're going to say something to someone, say it to their face."
"Ow, Eve…why are you lecturing me?" The blade master rubbed his cheek.
"Hmph. No reason." The Nasod flicked her hair. "I just suddenly felt like hitting someone."
"Now now, calm down everyone! Let's just enjoy walking to Velder like normal people." The kind elf smiled.
The entire group stared at her. Normal people? They thought. She's an elf…those ears aren't normal for humans…
"What? Are we all going to have a competition of who's the most normal in our group?" Rena said, as if she'd read their minds.
"Heh, bring it on! I'm practically the only normal HUMAN here!" Elsword grinned.
Chung knocked Elsword's head lightly. "Hey, I'm human too, you know."
Raven messed up Elsword and Chung's hair. "Elsword, your hair's too red for a normal person and Chung, what type of kid goes around carrying a cannon and pistol?" He smirked.
"Raven, I don't think you're one to talk. You are technically 80% human with 20% being your Nasod arm." Eve pointed out.
"Hahaha, not to mention, Eve, you're a Nasod too!" Aisha laughed.
Rena pounced onto Aisha and hugged her. "Come on, magical girl! Show us a cliché transformation! Let's see…what are the words? Magical…"
"H-Hey! I'm not a magical girl, you Elf!" The magician replied, shoving her off.
"Elves are known for their beauty and kindness~" Rena smiled gently.
"Nasods are known for their intelligence." Eve flicked her hair.
"Magicians are known for their great skills in spells!" Aisha winked.
"So what about you guys?" The girls turned to the boys.
"…" They all thought about it for a while.
Chung winked and flashed a killer smile. "Us guys…"
Raven held his hair back and smirked. "Are known for…"
Elsword placed a hand on his hip and tilted his head. "Our good looks!"
The trio was dazzling with….beauty.
"…Girls, let's have a beauty pageant." Rena said.
"Seriously?" Aisha's eyes widened.
"Hm. Yes, I agree." Eve flicked her hair once again.
"A WHAT!?" The guys shouted.
"We're kidding." The girls said, dully.
"Phew…"
Yeah, so I finally updated! xD I admit, the last part was a bit random, but I felt like writing it so I did! I guess you could count it as an 'omake' xD Anyways, review please!
Omake- Japanese word for "Extra"- usually in anime's at the end.
