All Novel Live
Chapter 27
After I gave Luler a light punishment, I came back to my house right away. Ah? You want to see a punishment scene. I dont think you want to see it so often, right? I only sat on his back. It would be utterly disgraceful to do anything more than that and I was only a guest there. I also would be at risk of getting charged with harming the prince!
I took a bath, washed my hair and readied to get sleep. My middle school life is going about to start in two days. Time really passed by quickly.
Its lonely, though. I think Its because Im different from everyone around here.
That isnt wrong
!!!
That voice jolts me out of my slumber. Maybe Im only hearing things but this voice
Hades
I open my eyes and find out that this isnt my house. This is the place that I first met Hades. Im sitting on a chair across the table from him again. Hes wearing all black-clothes that made him look more terrified than usual.
What do you want?
I dont want anything. I only want to check if you are alright or not His black eyes smile at me and Its not a pretty sight to see at all.
I think you are lying to me
You really are heartless, arent you? You are trying to blank your mind so I cant read your mind. Its shame, really
Do you have a problem with that?
You are being rude, you know
I dont have to be on my best manner with a person who tried to overstep my privacy
UmmThats may be the case. I must be lacking a little delicacy, huh
*snap*
That moment when he snaps his fingers, our surrounding changes into a waterside garden at night. A group of night waterlily is blooming around us. Their pollen is glittering in this night sky.
I cant hear your thought this way
Humph
What are you doing!? I cant even fathom why did you do it. Where is this anyway!? Ive not died yet so why did you bring me to the afterworld again!?
Why did you bring me to this place again?
You dont have to be worried sick about that because we are not able to bring an undead soul to the afterworld. Thats an important rule. Thiss like a dream and you will wake up when its time
I will ask you again. Why did you bring me here?
Just like I told you before, I only want to ask about your well-being
You are lying again
I am the lord of this afterworld. What do I get from lying to you?
I can see you lying from a mile away! Did you get too much spare time to spend chatting with a reincarnated soul that you sent some time ago? Dont you think that you take this job too seriously? Im not sure about what you said earlier either, that you cant read my mind. I have to prove this.
Hades, you are ***!!!
You are secretly rebuking me in your mind, right
Ha! Didnt you say that you cant read my mind!?
It pretty much showed on your face so Its true that you are really rebuking me right now
Humph! Its for my assurance
I also must have too much free time to spend bickering with him like this. I have to know why did he bring me into this dream world. From the look on his face, I can see that he have an impure mind.
Oh! Why dont you play a chess with me? You can play it, right?
What are you talking about?
The winner will have the right to ask anything for one question and the loser have to answer the truth
Ok
I dont think I have anything that Hades wants to know but I am the one who has many questions to ask him.
The chess pieces are lined up on the board. He uses black pieces and I use white pieces. I cant say that Im good at this but I used to get a second place at chess competition.
His strategy is very complicated but I can see that he is holding back right now.
What do you want exactly?
Dont you get bored when you only asked about that?
Its because youre suspicious
I will answer your question after you win
Easy for you to say that! Its in only the middle of the game but I can already feel a pressure on me. His black pieces are killing my white pieces off the board and I cant even kill off his piece. Why did he corner me like this? If he just moves his queen then Its a check-match for me.
You want me to surrender, right?
You are thinking too much
I surrender. What do you want to ask me about?
AhYou are really impatient
Stop irritating me! What exactly do you want from me!?
Im the winner here so I get to ask you a question
Humph!
This is frustrating! Whats even worse is that I cant do anything to him!
Are you trying to change a fate?
Ah?
What you are doing is a bad thing
SoYou brought me here only to ask this question
You have to answer me now
Im not doing anything about fate. I just stay true to myself and live my life just the way I want
You do know that nobody wants to die uselessly but
Do you believe in a fate? It takes no shape but strong enough even I, A god, cant defy it
What are you implying?
Everyone has their fate. You and I also have the fate itself. I only want to warn you because of my well-intention
Dont tell me that youre supporting the heroin?
If I really love someone, I will not let them go to other for sure
I will use every way to make her mine
He uses his hand to touch my cheek. His fingers are cold just like an air in the winter. His touches lingering down from my cheek to my neck.
I hope that you havent fallen in love with anyone yet, ojou-sama
You are asking too many questions
Haha! It seems the time is up
Stop getting on my nerve!
You really are hard-headed, huh. If you win next time, I will answer one of your questions
Do you still want to drag me here again?
Im just about to argue him back, that instant when I blink my eyes, my surrounding changes into that of my room. The light outside tells me that Its morning right now. I jump out of my bed and look around frantically. I quickly walk to the mirror and take a look at it to check If I have my shadow or not.
What caught my eyes the most is a small black rose on my neck.
What the heck!? When did he put it on me!? Is it that time?
Ackkkk!! How annoying!!!
