The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 171

Chapter 171: I understand, Oh savior of the world Chapter 171: I understand, Oh savior of the world Alice opened her door and was about to throw herself on her bed when Leo caught her mid-air.

He held her by the collar like she was a stray cat.

“Hey, what gives?” She yelled, struggling, but he gave her a dead ear and went straight to the bathroom.

He kicked the door open and threw her in.

“Ouch, what are you doing?” “Don’t rub off that demon smell on your bed.” He said and turned around.

“You’ll thank me later.” Alice sniffed her body.

What demon smell?

And then she realized that her body had this demonic odor.

Her face contorted in disgust.

“Ugh, I see what you mean.” She said and got up to her feet.

“But you could’ve just told me about it.

You didn’t have to carry me like that.” “Haha, let’s just say I’m making use of the fact that I’m taller than you to taunt you.” He said with a taunting smile, and she tsked, clicking her tongue in annoyance.

She could’ve sworn he was about her height when she saw his mirage from time to time.

So, how did he get so tall?

“Alright, alright.

I’m gonna take my bath now.

But…” She twisted her lips, pouting like a little girl secretly wanting attention.

“Won’t you come in?” Leo, resting on the door, turned his head and asked, “Why should I?” “You know, I don’t think I’ve ever had my bath in silence.

So, it’s a bit weird.” She said.

“It’ll be even weirder if you were staring at a grown man while having your bath.” He said and folded his arms.

“Be conscious, Alice.

I’m a grown guy and you’re a girl.

Figure it out.” Alice rested her head on the door, still pouting.

Why did that have to matter?

Leo was always there.

He even used her body sometimes so she was sure there was no place in her body he hadn’t seen.

Was he just trying to be a gentleman now that he had a body even if he had seen it all?

“Fine,” she said.

“You can talk to me from the other side.

That’s okay, right?” “Of course.” He said, a proud smile playing on his lips as he closed his eyes.

“I knew you liked my voice all along.” “Don’t go too far.” She said, feeling irked.

Give him one credit and he makes the rest all about him.

“I just…don’t want to be alone.” “I understand, oh savior of the world.” He said.

“You’ve been lonely for far too long so being separated from me must make you feel even lonelier.” “Hey, don’t put words into my mouth.” She said and he laughed.

“Who’s lonely?

I just…” Slowly folding her fingers to form into a fist, she pursed her lips.

Was she lonely after all?

She didn’t even know that.

“Okay, hurry up and take your bath,” Leo said to her.

“Mark will come up anytime soon and that’s not going to look good.” “Right.

I’ll be quick.” She removed her hand from the door and quickly started taking off her clothes.

Leo leaned on the door for much longer, his arms folded and his eyes closed.

It was silent but he could hear Alice’s subtle movements while she took off her clothes.

Really, how did he expect her to say those words?

It was as if he knew what was in her head and in her heart…

He looked towards the window…

She didn’t want to be far from him, even if it was by a few centimeters.

It seemed like she had grown attached to him.

“Oh, by the way,” Alice spoke up.

*What is it?* “What are the rewards I got from defeating Lilith?” She asked and switched on the shower, the sound of water splattering on her body and the floor echoed in the bathroom and Leo could hear it clearly but he focused on the question she asked, “I have them here.” A screen opened up in front of him.

It was like a tablet, and he could hold it, but he didn’t want to chore his other hand, so he let it float and swiped through.

He paused for a moment, seeing Alice’s stats had increased once more.

At this pace, she should be able to get to half the level he wanted her to get to before the second calamity.

And given that she wasn’t going to start randomly killing monsters unless they were a big threat, he would give it a year.

And then in the coming year, he would intensify her training by any means necessary.

That was the only way to ensure that she did not fall short when facing the second calamity.

“Why did you go silent?” Alice asked as she scrubbed her hair.

She turned to the door, wondering what he was thinking about, and decided to communicate with her mind.

‘What’s up?’ she asked, and he flinched.

“Ah, sorry.

I got sidetracked for a while.” He said and she nodded, turning her head to rinse off the shampoo in her hair properly.

“Well, tell me already.

Did I get some kind of mind-controlling spell or a fancy skill that can make me hide my presence?” “Alice, your jacket already has that function.” He said but she shook her head, dissatisfied.

“It’s the jacket.

So, if I don’t have it on, I can’t go unnoticed.” She said.

“I need one that’ll help me even if I go around naked, hehe.” Leo sighed.

“Please, don’t do that.” She giggled.

“Well, unfortunately, there was no skill like that, but you did get the ability to read minds…” “Whoa, really?” She asked in excitement but Leo wasn’t done.

“Let me finish.

You do have the ability to read minds but since it’s a manipulation skill, it’s limited.” “How so?” “You can only read the minds of people who have strong hostility towards you.” He explained.

“I don’t know why it’s only limited to that but that’s how it is.” “Well, that’s a bummer.

I don’t think I have that many haters right now, since everyone loves a hero.” She said.

“But maybe it’s a good thing.

I can fish out those having evil thoughts about me, haha.

It’s nice.” Leo tilted his head.

Yeah, it could be used like that.

“Okay, as for the other skill.

You have…” His finger paused and slowly trembled.

What was this skill?

“What is it?

Did I get a badass skill or not?” She asked and he let out an appalled laugh.

“Yeah, you got a badass skill alright.

A very badass skill for a woman, that is.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Wanna guess the kind of skill she got?
