The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Now, I can get back at you Chapter 162: Now, I can get back at you “Um, Leo,” Alice called and Leo raised his gaze.

He saw her staring at her with a surprised look on her face.

She gazed at him.

At least, that was the feeling he got.

She gazed at him with her pure brown eyes that sparkled in growing excitement.

It was odd.

It almost felt like she was looking directly at him.

He could feel it.

Her gaze did not shift and her gaze was questioning.

Was there something where her gaze stood?

He wondered.

But then, Alice’s lips gradually curled up and her face lit up in excitement.

“Leo!” She yelled and ran to him.

She hugged him which shocked Leo.

What was going on?

He could feel her embrace.

He could feel her warm skin on his.

Wait, had he materialized already?

He raised his hand and saw flesh.

He blinked his eyes.

His vision was as sharp as an eagle.

He had blood flowing through his veins and…

He looked down at Alice who was hugging him.

He could feel contact.

He was no longer in that mirage form that Alice could not see.

He was a real person.

“A-Alice?” he called, as shocked as one could be.

It was quite early, wasn’t it?

He felt he would materialize in a month or two, given Alice’s power levels so why now?

Then, his gaze fell on Lilith’s corpse on the floor.

Was it because she killed Lilith?

Did her stats increase?

He decided to check but before then, Alice grabbed his cheeks and stared him in the eye, her eyes glowing in excitement.

“It’s really you, right?

You’ve finally materialized.” She said but he was a bit out of it.

Her sense of excitement was understandable but this close proximity…

The way she expressed it, being in his arms…

It was so weird.

He had never had this sort of contact with a human before.

Not even Alice of the past hugged him.

The best they did was hold hands and it was because he wanted to lift her from the ground she laid on.

Nothing more than that.

Was it because he had been too friendly and adapted a lot to the Alice of this life?

The feeling of her skin on his…

Her warm flesh had blood veins crawling underneath, her heartbeat pulsating all over her body, resonating through the veins…

He could feel everything and it was weird.

“Leo,” she hugged him again.

“Are you that excited to see me?” Leo asked and she nodded.

“Ah, I’ve been waiting for you to materialize for ages.” She said, and he blinked; his heart, which has been dormant thanks to his mirage form, thumped.

It was strange.

Just so strange.

“And…” He gulped down Saliva he had equally not felt for ages.

“…why are you so excited?” “Why?

Hehe,” her eyes glinted with mischief.

“It’s so I could do this.” She suddenly grabbed his ear and twisted it.

“Ou, ou, ouch, what are you doing?” He asked, feeling pain in his left ear as she twisted it.

“You’re gonna pull it off.

You’re going to disfigure my new body.” “Oh please, you’ll just grow it back, hehe.” She said but let go anyway.

Leo’s left ear throbbed.

Did she have to go so far and showcase the kind of blood that flowed through her veins?

She was so violent.

Then, Alice patted him on the back.

“Haha, this feels so good.” She said, her heart full with excitement and joy.

“Now, I don’t need to worry about getting back at you.

You and I can settle things face to face.” Leo sighed.

He forgot how much of a hooligan Alice was.

Well, it wasn’t so bad.

He smiled subconsciously.

He always wanted to sit next to her and hold conversations like normal people do.

He felt they could get closer that way.

As if being in her head wasn’t close enough, hehe.

“Leo,” Alice called more gently this time, and he lifted his gaze to find her hardened and mischievous face gone, replaced with a little tranquil one.

“Thank you, Leo.” She said, taking him by surprise.

What was she doing?

“I’m more than glad I get to say this to your face and not while you’re just a voice in my head.” She laughed but it slowly fell, as she went ahead to apologize.

“And I’m sorry I doubted you.

You are doing so much to save humanity so how could I see you as a threat?” Her gaze was warm.

She was genuine with her words and it touched him.

“I…

I’m happy to hear that.

It’s nice to see you apologize without actually throwing your fist first.” He said, and she raised that said fist with a threatening smile.

“Wanna see it then?” She asked but he laughed.

She laughed alongside him.

“But I’m serious.

I didn’t say it before, and maybe it’s because I was never able to understand how important you became in my life and how much of an important addition you’ve been in my life, but I want to say it now.

Thank you, Leo, for choosing me.

For picking me out of the dark and…

Giving me a life to live.

Thank you for giving me warmth and staying by my side.” In this plain, desolate land ruled by monsters, floors filled with rebels, and a murky sky, Alice felt a soft breeze blowing over her hair, and she swiped her hair behind her ear.

Leo, on the other hand, felt her genuine appreciation in her words.

Alice was not the type to express soft feelings with words.

She was a girl of action.

A girl who did not care about anything else but herself, as she had been taught to.

So, for her to say such things…

He had indeed impacted so much in her life and her heart.

“You’re such a handful.” He said and she smiled, her lips widened in a cheerful glee and her full set of teeth on display.

“What can I say?

It’s how I’m made.” She said.

“Yes.” Leo said softly.

“Yes, it’s how you were made.

So pure and reckless.” He muttered softly, but then his gaze dropped, knowing the sins he committed.

Was he allowed to accept her kind words and her gratitude?

After all, the reason humanity had to face this sort of hurdle was because of him.

If only he had known better.

If only he didn’t have such a weak heart.

If only…

He could’ve killed the hideous side of him.

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Okay, we aren’t going into his story yet.

You’ll all understand that this was his fault but please don’t blame him, he never meant any harm.

he was just soft hearted, that’s all
