X-Loves: From Another World
Chapter 22: Lubuk Hati

“EMILIAAA!!!”

The blond girl ran towards Emilia who was sitting helplessly. Unlike the other participants, what Anna did was unusual. This astonished the audience, including Licia who was standing from the audience seats in the western stands.

“Eh, wait, what is he doing? Didn't he win?”

Anna moved Emilia's body fainted, hoping something bad didn't happen to the girl.

“EMILIA, WOY. BUILD EMILIA, HANG ON EMILIA!!!”

Anna kept trying to wake up the girl, but there was no sign that she would regain consciousness. Slowly tears came out of Anna's eyes.

“Emilia, please. Wake up!!”

His efforts turned out to be fruitful. The girl slowly opened her eyes.

“Anu~ Where am I?”

His gaze was still blurry, but he could slowly see the person in front of him.

“Ah, Anna yes,”

Emilia said in a soft voice. Meanwhile Anna was still staring at him while crying. It made the Kawanua girl confused.

“Eh, why are you crying, Anna? You've already won”

“Thank God..Hiks..I'm sorry, Emilia. I didn't know that I... I..”.

Anna could say nothing. Something that traumatized him so long ago came back to be remembered by him. Of course Emilia knew nothing about it. But the girl tried to calm him down with a soft voice.

“It's okay, It's a match, it's only natural that you do something like this. I'm fine,”

Emilia then moved a little while wiping Anna's tears.

“After all the same basudara, right? Hehe,.” continued Emilia.

The girl smiled broadly at Anna until her white teeth were seen. Anna who understood the meaning of his words, the statement that ‘we are all brothers’ was quite entertaining. He wiped his tears and returned Emilia's smile.

“You're right, Emilia. Hehe..”.

The two girls laughed at each other.

“Oh yes, Anna. What's your full name? I forgot, Hehe...” Emilia said.

“Well, instead of earlier already called the same referee?”

“Iya, anyway. But I want to get acquainted from the beginning. Well so we get closer to that,”

“Oh yes too. My full name is Anna Sahilatua. I come from Una Island. Actually I am a Parachi,” Anna said.

“Oh... You're a Parachi, huh? My full name is Emilia Gumansalangi. I come from Bolaang Mongondow, and also.”.

Emilia slightly pulled Anna's shoulder. He seemed to want to whisper something to her. But it was enough to surprise him, let alone be seen by many people.

“...i am also a Parachi loh,” said Emilia.

“Eh? Really?”

Anna was surprised to hear that. But the girl just smiled as widely as she had at first.

Not long after, the medical came. Emilia who was still quite limp was stretchered by them. The girl then waved to Anna as a sign of farewell. Meanwhile, Licia turned out to approach him while showing a look of astonishment.

“Eh, Licia?”

“Hey, Anna. What the hell are you doing anyway? Why do you love your opponent?” ask Licia while she's on her waist.

“I..”

Anna turned her face away from Licia. That certainly makes the only child of Bunda Rara more confused. Moreover, the look on Anna's face that looked sad.

“Anna?”

Dwi who was behind him then told him.

“He can't hurt anyone else,”

Licia was surprised by Dwi's words and looked at him.

“Eh? Meaning?”

“Anna's too nice. He can not hurt others for any reason, especially with people who do not have problems with him,” explained Dwi as she approached Anna.

Dwi immediately hugged Anna who looked silent sad. And somehow the girl hugged Dwi tightly. He doesn't usually do that, even in the real world.

“Already, it's okay,” Dwi calms him down.

Meanwhile, Licia who was watching the two who were hugging was trying to understand what was happening. He lowered his left hand while smiling slightly at them.

“Ahh... It seems like something has happened to both of these Parachi. And well, it is not my right to interfere into their problems,” he said inwardly.

Licia is an understanding person. Although he does enjoy chatting with others, but he has his own limits to not interfere too much with other people's problems, let alone the problems possessed by Parachi.

“By the way, Anna and Dwi are romantic too yes, I am so envious, hehe..” continued Licia.

…

The committee is preparing for the next match. Licia is already seen sitting in her stands, while Anna and Dwi are seen still walking beside the field. They also talked to each other, especially Anna who remembered the events she had experienced in the past.

“Oh yes, Dwi,”

“Hmm..?”

“Do you still want to accept me as your friend? Though I have hurt others,” asked Anna while contemplating.

Seeing Anna's expression that seemed still pensive, Dwi tried to comfort her.

“Ah you are, just hit one person until the thought of many years. Tuh the Herlin fitting SMA subscription to enter the BK room not many minds that macem-macem him,” said Dwi while holding Anna's head.

“Ih... What the heck, Dwi,”

“Hahaha..”.

Anna kept her head away from Dwi's hands. The young man responded with a laugh.

“But it is true. You can't be entirely blamed for what happened to Bobby 4 years ago. That was already the consequence of bullying others. After all, humans do have a limit of patience, especially if they have been oppressed for a long time. Sooner or later they will rebel. That's the way of history,” said Dwi.

Anna was still pensive after hearing that.

“But most importantly we make it a lesson, so we can take a wiser decision,”

Dwi looked at Anna with a sincere smile. The young man gave her advice while trying to comfort her. And it seemed to have calmed the girl down enough.

“Ah... You are right, Dwi. Thank you,” Anna said with a smile and rubbed her eyes again.

The two of them could finally smile at each other again.

“Oh, yes. By the way..”.

Dwi held her chin while looking at Anna back.

“Eh, why?” Anna was astonished by Dwi's expression.

“Am I not wrong? You are starting to look more feminine lately,” said Dwi.

As usual, the young man always chirped about what happened to Anna. Suddenly the blonde-haired girl returned irritated and angry as soon as she heard it.

“EH, DWI. START AGAIN YOU YES, I AM.”.

Anna yelled at him, but suddenly changed her mind when she saw his hands.

“Eh, wait. You're right,”

The girl only realized that she had become more feminine lately. Starting from the style of dress that has been accustomed to a woman's suit, more often make up and take care of her, and the peak when she unconsciously hugged a man while crying. He started to be much more different since he ‘send’ to this alternate world.

“Wire. If this continues beta will be a whole woman in this world. How's this?” he said in his heart.

Anna instantly fell silent with her mouth gaping while watching her two hands. The look on her panicked face made Dwi curious.

“Eh, Anna. You okay?”

“Eh... No coke, Dwi, hehe...” Anna directly turned towards him with both hands clasped behind her body. But judging from his expression, he could not lie.

Not long after, the committee called Dwi to enter the field because the match would start again soon.

“To Dwi Septianto of Jailolo National Magic Academy, please get ready soon,”

“Ah... Now it's your turn, Dwi. Don't be shy,” Anna said.

Dwi nodded while smiling at him, then walked towards the field. Now the young man was preparing to face his opponent in the third match of this magic battle.
