(POV Third Person)
Walking on the lake near the castle of Orobas, Dafa can be seen sitting on the edge of the lake, along with Sora who was sitting next to him.
"Boy, can I ask you something?"
"What?"
After hearing the reply, Sora then immediately returned to speaking; "What kind of woman do you like?"
This time, Dafa directly glanced at him with a strange look in his eyes, before he said; "Why are you asking that?"
Sora then immediately turned his gaze in the other direction, trying to avoid Dafa's eyes, before he finally retorted back.
"There is no particular reason. I just want to know." 'And, maybe I can use it to get you.' However, this Natsuki girl decided to keep the latter to herself.
It's just that, what the Natsuki girl didn't guess, was about the fact, if Dafa had actually been able to guess what exactly the girl was planning.
Anyways... 'He's probably very jealous of Orbs. Probably, because I was too close to him.'
That's absolutely right. As anyone might have thought, Dafa had already realized the romantic feelings that Natsuki's girl had for him.
It's just because the teenage boy is not wanting to deal with things related to romance, especially since the incident a few years ago, this makes him really try to always act ignorant.
How does Dafa feel about Sora? If that's the case, he himself really can't answer it.
This is not because he is difficult to express his true feelings, but it leads to him being unable to understand his own feelings.
After all, since he was a child, the teenage boy had always been very difficult, to understand what emotions he was feeling.
And in fact, it came to him who could not distinguish his facial expression, with the actual emotion he was feeling.
The point is, Dafa is still unable to understand his own emotions, which makes the teenager unable to understand the feelings he has towards Sora.
So, that's why, Dafa decided to be a little honest this time, just to be sure, about whether he had feelings for her, or not.
"Hmm, let's take a look... Maybe someone who can cook? After all, I'm really bad at it."
"That's absolutely right. You are so bad at it." Sora immediately agreed to that, as he had already noticed it.
Although somewhat annoyed by this, Dafa continued, "So far, perhaps someone who can accept me for who I am. And, that guy doesn't look at me from my physicality."
"There again?" Sora immediately asked that, moments after Dafa had said the previous thing.
Where, Dafa himself only replied with a light nod, before he said; "Yes. And, more importantly, I hope that person can see the real me."
"The real you?" Sora immediately asked that question in confusion, because he did not understand at all about it.
Dafa himself returned only to reply with a light nod, before he answered again.
"That's absolutely right. The person should be able to see who this 'Bani Dafa Sabiluna' really is."
"So, you mean that, you are the one right now, not the real you?" It was a conclusion that the Natsuki girl could draw, after hearing what Dafa had said.
"Of course." Reply to Dafa while lightly shrugging his shoulders, "In fact, I myself am still confused by this. After all, there were only two people who managed to do that."
"Let me guess, one of them must be Rafi, right?"
"No, he still can't see the real me. Because, he just realized the first page, from me." Dafa immediately denied Sora's words, while slightly explaining the intent behind his denial.
Sora himself immediately fell silent after hearing this. Because, if that person had just realized the first page, what would the whole book look like?
That way, Dafa will... 'Being mine is' Sora thought with a small smile growing on her face, which the girl tried to hide using her right hand.
On Dafa's own side, he only glanced at the girl in utter regret, saying in his mind; 'Hopefully, I didn't make the wrong decision by doing this.'
Just like that, a new wheel of destiny began to form in front of Dafa, without the teenage boy noticing at all.
...
Meanwhile, on the side of Souji's group...
After they all finished their lunch, the seven people then began to continue their journey, while certainly leveling along the way.
As a result of that, now the level they all have is quite high, so that the seven people are already above the level of two hundred.
Despite that being said, but their combat experience was still somewhat nil, this was because Souji who rarely let them duel seriously with any of the monsters they encountered, was, he was afraid that something bad might happen to them.
Of course, hearing the answer, all the girls in the group, with the exception of Mirai, were immediately fascinated by Souji's concern for them, unaware of the intent behind his actions.
After all, there was a reason, from why Souji forbade one of them to duel with the monsters they had all met, where this is still related to people who have futuristic weapons before.
'I have to be lower profile again, so that we are not hunted by more groups.'
As Souji had just thought, if he really was, just didn't want to draw any other problems to him, by making them all become very strong, but not at the same time.
The strength that that person wanted here, was only until they could protect themselves, without the need to be one of the Strongest beings in the World.
That was why, after the affair with this leveling was over, Souji himself intended to have a duel fight with each of them, just to improve the fighting experience of those people.
Moreover, because he also intended to find the transfer student and build an alliance with him, so he did not have so much time, either, especially after remembering the things he needed to do immediately, right after they arrived at this Handel City.
From thinking about these things alone, it can be said, if Souji is very busy, which makes him not want to add to his busyness, it is, if only one of them had been seriously injured all of a sudden.
'But still, what is the transfer student doing right now, huh?' Souji then began to look at the blue sky above him with a listless gaze, 'I hope he can be brought together.'
After all, given the killing intent that was so terrifying yesterday...
To be honest, if the killing intent was indeed the property of the transfer student, it meant that there must be someone who had managed to make him very angry.
Where, if the anger still has not subsided, until he meets the transfer student again, it is certain, if working with him is no longer possible to do.
At best, Souji could only make a small agreement with the friend of the transfer student, considering that the person was someone who could be invited to work together, almost in any case, as well, except for the conditions where it will harm the transfer student.
'For now, I'd better focus on what's in front of me. Whether or not I can, I'll think about it later, after I meet him again.'
After deciding this, Souji then immediately focused on leveling everyone in his group, until the sun almost completely sunk.
