The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 281

Chapter 281: Would you like to find out?

Chapter 281: Would you like to find out?

“I don’t need anyone but you, Alice.” Michael said.

“You’re my only friend.” “Well, I figured that much.

You must spend most of your time running research as a mage if you’re not raiding dungeons.

So, your lab tools are your friends,” she chuckled but he did not laugh along with her.

He held her hand and pressed it on his mask, wishing he could at least kiss her hand, just as Noah had done earlier.

He hated that he had to wear a mask.

“Alice, will you spend time with me?” He requested.

“Even if it’s just a few hours, will you?” “When you act so modest, it creeps me out that I start wondering if you’ve been possessed or something.” She joked and laughed.

“Maybe it’s because I’m used to you naturally acting all mysterious and creepy that when you act like a normal person with longing, it feels so strange.

Mark’s the one who usually acts like that.” “Right, Mark.” Micheal said.

“You spend your day at home with him and now he’s at your school too.

I’m so jealous I could cry.” His words sounded sarcastic, and he laughed, but Alice did not laugh this time around.

“Micheal,” she called.

“Will you take your mask off for a bit?” She requested and silence fell on them.

“You’re wearing that extra mask right now, right?

So, you won’t feel so insecure, isn’t that right?” “I am, but…” He turned his head away.

“I’m afraid I can’t do that.” “Why not?” “Are you interested in the reason?” Micheal asked and Alice could tell he had a smirk due to his tone.

Oh, so now he’s recovered from his lovesickness.

“Are you more interested in me now, Alice?” “Not quite but you are an interesting subject.” She said, her hands trailing through his chest.

“You’re so mysterious that I know little about you.

I don’t know a lot about the others but when it comes to you, I feel especially oblivious.” She reached a realization and looked up at his mask.

“Ah, I think I said something like this before but I don’t recall your response.

Will you let me know more about you?

Not for any particular reason but just me being curious.” Micheal seemed quite satisfied with her words.

She was curious about him and that made him glad.

He dropped his head on hers, his arm squeezing around her waist and she squinted her eyes.

Wasn’t that too tight?

It was as if he was scared that if his grip on her was loosened by even an inch, she would suddenly get out of reach.

“Alice,” he called softly, whispering to her ear.

“If I take off the mask right now, even just a little bit, will you be able to face the consequences?” “Consequences?

What’s that?” She asked and he smirked.

“Would you like to find out?” He asked.

Alice darted her eyes away, her mind wandering somewhere else.

At this point, she wasn’t that dumb that she did not know what kind of consequences he was talking about.

It was probably a kiss.

So, she asked herself, why did she want to take off his mask when she knew there would be another layer underneath, thus, she wouldn’t be able to see his face?

Maybe she just wanted him to feel free from his outer mask for a few minutes?

She wanted to give him relief?

Going about while wearing two masks was not easy feet, after all.

But was that truly it?

Who was to say that she did not secretly want to share that kiss she had with him the first time?

It was soft and gentle and it made her warm inside.

It was the kind of warmth she could not vividly explain.

And unlike his kiss, Mark’s kiss tends to light a fire in her.

It was hot and left her completely breathless.

She wasn’t complaining because they both felt good but she didn’t want to stick to one when she could have them all.

“You know the kind of consequences I’m talking about, Alice.

Don’t play dumb.” He said and she gulped, bringing her eyes back to him.

“Well, alright.

Then, will you take the mask off like you did before?” She asked and he nodded.

“Then, let’s do it.” Micheal shifted his mask up a bit and then smirked.

Her eyes sparkled as she saw his lips twist up in a smirk.

They were pretty.

“Alice, am I wrong to guess that this is what you were after all along?” He asked her and she cleared her throat.

“Well, I won’t admit or deny it so think whatever you want.” She said.

“Now hurry, I have places to be.” “It must feel nice to be Alice’s companion in everything she did.

I would like Alice to tease me as well, and hit me if I become too much.” He squeezed his arm around her and she kept her eyes on his lips.

“It would feel really nice.” Watching him speak felt so much better than having him speak through the mask.

Watching his lips move, those pretty lips that seemed too pretty to be ordinary, Alice didn’t even know when she did it, but she suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck, and while he was still talking with his mask only halfway off his face, she kissed him.

This time, she was the one initiating the kiss, not because she was desperate but because she wanted it right there and then.

Micheal did not expect her to do it so suddenly, especially when his mask wasn’t fully off yet but who was he to complain?

He kissed back and that warm feeling overflowed Alice’s body.

She kept wondering how smacking lips together and exchanging saliva could feel so good and she would never understand it, so she decided to just enjoy it as it came.

Micheal held her tight.

Alice was precious and Alice was one of a kind.

She was a fascinating person and an existence that would never surface on the earth a second time.

So, he wanted to have her in his grasp.

He wanted to be able to see her whenever and hear her call out to his name.

It wasn’t impossible but at the same time, it was impossible.

If he did dare to do something like locking her up for his own personal gain, plucking her wings so she would stay in one place, he would only be taking the very thing that made her unique.

Her freedom.

So, he couldn’t risk it.

Not for his own gain or for anyone else.

Alice deserved to be free, spreading her wings and spreading her smile.

Well, for now, at least.

When the time came for all that to be taken away, he would have to…
