CHANCES - Battle of Heart: Online
Interlude XV. Raven's Heart 《 III 》

...『️Researned wise because this is only fiction, not real️ 』...

Seeing Lilia walk away, I thought back to Akai. The man who was a fake human, and the real person was a snot boy.

Counting my money again, I decided to get my strongest men to look for him. I'm not worried about that boy at all.yes, I just want to make sure that my friend Lilia doesn't just kill him.

After all, he was the savior of my life. I also had to save his life.

Yes, that's it. nothing more.

...****************...

Nina seems to be daydreaming more lately. I mocked him by saying that the sky he was meticulously gazing at would collapse. He also seemed not so eager to comment on my taunts.

I was actually quite happy, too, when I found out if she wanted to come live here with me.

Knowing that his original home, the spy Secret Headquarters had already been destroyed, I idly asked him if he wanted to stay inside my bandit headquarters. Then, he agreed calmly and thanked me.

However, every day he always wears a servant's clothes.

I know he has a lot of servant uniforms that more or less, look the same?

Even his master was nowhere. Not here, not in any other Kingdom, nothing.

Trying to refrain from thinking about the boy, I offered to lend him my clothes. However, I just realized that our body shape is quite different. He looked offended and started to reply to me, even though I was completely unaware of this before.

Never mind.

In the end, I decided to accept him as a servant inside my headquarters. He was so strong in the fight and I wanted to make him one of my bandits. But I hesitated a little. He seemed to be indeed more suitable as a spy, compared to the money-making bandits in the middle of the road.

Nina is a really good waiter. Even some of the male bandits secretly liked her while the female bandits were happy to chat with her.

Yes, even for the most part, Nina just nodded her head and made a short comment to them with her expressionless face.

...****************...

Piqued.

Even though I burned all the wooden dolls I gave them, I still felt annoyed. Even my men, who have been specially trained by Night, can't find that snot boy everywhere.

Am I late ? Did he also die by a herd of demons and serve as a prisoner until he was old enough to be made a Demon King? I don't know.

Though, I also wanted to save her like she saved me by easily snapping her finger. Even I asked Xarx to ask his friend for help if they saw Akai.

Surprisingly, Mr. Xarx did not ask for money at my request and simply rubbed his hands slowly gloomily, while saying that he was also eager to meet Akai.

As I burned the other wooden puppets secretly without Nina's knowledge, she managed to catch me and give her usual calm comments. Why is he so calm? Does that snot boy mean nothing to him?

But, he's right.I have to calm down.

Suddenly, Tucky and his men came with two men tied up and their faces covered in sacks. Are those people Blue Head Gang's men? At the moment our gang relations are a little bit deteriorating.

One was a middle-aged man and the other was a teenage boy who had pale white skin. Hm.

My heart was stopped when one of the captives woke up after being exposed to a sack that covered his face. He directly called the teenage boy beside him as Mr. Kyle. In a hurry, I immediately exposed the sack from his face

"Ah, Raven? It's good to see you here."

His voice sounded so light and was able to make the pounding in my heart beat slowly until a sense of calm swept through my heart. Her smile warmed my heart and her eyes were looking at me. I felt so missed her and wanted to embrace her right away.

On the other hand, I feel very angry.

I wanted to burn him down so that he would know the pain when I found out he disappeared inside the Dark Forest's mysterious magic forest.

Without thinking twice, I immediately slapped his face that looked more mature, than the snot boy I had seen before. Looking at her surprised face, it made me feel a little guilty.

But this is all his fault.

Yeah, it's all his fault.

I immediately left the place because my tears could no longer be contained. I don't want him to see me cry. Later he felt happy because he managed to deceive me and Nina. I suspect he intentionally lost himself.

You fucking guy.

I thought he would be different from the other men, who only wanted my body and the power I had. Even though he wasn't after that, he kind of lied to me.

I want to burn him if he dares to approach my base.

Yeah, I won't hesitate anymore.

...****************...

As I thought, he came.

I gave her a sharp look, the rope she returned with that look instead.

Upset by her intoxicating eyes, I called out the name people often mentioned about her. A scoundrel. My heart ached a little, so I called him that...

My heart is too close to him. Before he took it, I had to protect him by killing him.

We fought, he was stronger and more trusting than the first time I became a hit man after him.

But I hate his fighting style. He seemed to deliberately only accept my attacks and try to cover them up by occasionally attacking me when I could avoid his attacks.

Damn, he's a real asshole.

Every slash of my sword, as if one by one the feelings in my heart were about to explode. I started thinking about nothing and chose to focus on slashing his neck.

Seeing him being completely anti-fire magic, I so had no other choice but to chop him up. Oho! I even managed to scratch his neck even though it was just a thin wound.

A little more

I don't know why, but he started to rush over and started asking me to stop immediately. No, I'm not gonna stop until you

Nina's shrieking voice woke me up from this long daydream.

My sword stuck into his stomach so easily, as if he had allowed it just to hug me. There goes...

I could feel his blood pouring into my hand through my sword, I realized.

I don't want to lose him.

What did you just do Raya?! Why did you attack him? Am I trying to get his attention?!

Yes, I want him to watch me.

As soon as I woke up, I cried while hugging her. I felt guilty and apologized to him. Am I late and kill him?

No, he didn't die because he easily healed himself. I was stunned and wanted to beat him up until he was completely battered.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I can take it seriously...

He has taken my heart.
