THE LINEUSS ATTACK (SYSTEM)
Chapter 69: The Warmth of the Hugs

A black-coloured cold slash was seen in the dim night, as if it could take the life of a living being in one piece.

“There is done, Rai?“

Lara who was on the second floor of a building that had been damaged in half was like a box cake that was split into two pieces.

He asked Rai who was on the middle road busy slaughtering the monsters left on the road.

The two of them had traveled so far that they were now in the northern part of the city of North Talu.

Not far away they will get to the main road that serves as the entry and exit of the population.

It took five days more or three days after Lara questioned Kuro for them to get here.

Lara chooses a safe path for the three of them along with Kuro on the way. It indirectly affected the monsters encountered by them.

Rai's points and experience were reduced because the monsters he killed were reduced.

To be honest, Rai was quite sad with his experience income now. Because Rai hopes this week he can raise his level one more time, but his hopes are almost dashed when he sees monsters that arrive so little.

Therefore, Rai advised Lara that we fight a slightly dangerous route.

If it were not like that, it would be much longer for him to grow stronger. His efforts to become stronger faster became hampered.

In his heart there was fear of monsters, Rai was afraid that monsters would grow stronger faster than him.

Rai was impressed as if he was racing with the monstee in the world.

Lara follows Rai's advice, and today Lara directs Rai to go on a path that has many monsters.

Finally they arrived at their present place, on a large street whose right left shoulder was a damaged high building and building.

Here are many monsters that Rai often met and exterminated.

His expectations became soaring high, and now he had a great chance to raise his own level.

[Dig! Kill 19 Quitozers (F+). Get +76 Exp, +76 Coins!]

A monster similar to a mosquito exploded after being hit by the slash of a Methuragon-branched blade longsword.

Lara's voice was heard by her eardrums, and she turned up to see Lara standing on the second floor facing her.

“Already.“ Rai replied in a tone that was not loud and not slow.

Lara who could hear Rai's reply responded with a nod of her head and one thumb of her left hand.

After seeing Lara responding to his answer, his gaze shifted to the surrounding area, Rai had to make sure the monsters in this part of the road had been exhausted, before he left this place.

About five minutes Rai spent observing the area around the road and the result he did not find any oddity or something strange, this shows that everything is finished.

“Come, Rai! We have to go to the building in front of this to stay overnight, tomorrow we have to go to the road that is not far from us.“ Lara called Rai and said from a distance.

Rai nodded in response to Lara's words, and he immediately picked up some of the monster meat scattered in the street.

Above, Lara was looking at the surrounding area and did not pay attention to Rai's movements that were picking up pieces of meat.

Not long after, Rai reached beside Lara with Kuro on her shoulder.

“We have to get to the building in front, the only way is through the chunks that lean on the building. Come on, follow me!“

Lara stepped on a large and long chunk of the building that fell leaning against the building in front of her, the position of the leaning rubble slightly tilted upwards.

Because it was too damaged and fragile, the building dropped large debris and the debris was stuck in both buildings and indirectly became a bridge for access to the other building.

Rai's feet stepped forward and tread carefully the debris or chunks of this large building.

Dust and soil in the debris fell every foot Rai landed and stepped.

Lara had reached the building and she was waiting for Rai to pass through this rubble bridge.

Just as Rai wanted to make his final step in the rubble, suddenly the debris shook violently and fell down.

Suddenly it made Rai react quickly by jumping before the debris fell down.

However, there is one thing that Rai did not realize, namely he jumped towards Lara who was watching her jump.

Lara's eyes widened when she saw the figure of Rai who was already in front of her.

Before the two had time to dodge each other, Rai's body hit Lara and the two fell to the floor.

Brak!

Lara closed her eyes when the collision occurred, and she waited for the pain to come from falling to the floor.

However, Lara waited for a long time for pain, she did not feel the pain as she thought.

Instead, he felt no pain, but an outrageous sense of comfort made him want to continue in the embrace he now felt.

Curious about what happened, Lara opened her eyes slowly and she saw something in front of her.

A pair of black-colored eyes that were so charming were looking at him deeply, those eyes looked very close and were only a few centimeters away from Lara's eyes.

Lara's body is being supported by one of Rai's right hands, the other hand is holding Rai's body back from falling. Rai's posture is like paying homage to a King with one knee.

Almost Lara's body touched with a floor full of dust.

Their posture looked ambiguous and this happened for a few seconds, they both fell silent as if time had stopped due to freezing.

Lara still did not react when she saw the pair of handsome pupils in front of her, she was still fascinated with those eyes until finally a flat voice sounded in her ears and resuscitated her.

“You all right?“

“Eh?!“

Lara quickly reacts and she releases Rai's warm embrace and stands in front of Rai with a face flushed with embarrassment.

“A–aku b–all right!“ Lara said frantically and embarrassedly, she did not know why she was acting this way.

Lara occasionally saw Rai after that bowing her head, sometimes she looked to the right and to the left, but her face remained flushed while doing that strange move.

“Yakin? Why are you acting so strange?“ Rai said in a worried tone, Rai's eyes looked seriously at Lara.

Lara was silent for a moment and she lowered her head as both her hands squeezed her clothes.

It seems that Lara is now blushing with embarrassment due to the unexpected incident earlier.

This was the first time Lara had been so close to a man and also the first time she had been hugged so warmly without any feeling of unease when the hug occurred.

Eager to feel that warmth again, but Lara was too embarrassed to do it again and found it hard to come back.
