The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 315

Chapter 315: Patience, my dear
“I threaten to kill the guy with the remote if he doesn’t stop his plans, and if he doesn’t give in to my threats and presses the button anyway, I’ll kill him so he can die alongside the both of them.”

A moment of silence followed her words with Michael trying to understand what he just heard.

“Huh? I… I don’t understand. You would let Devon and his brother die?” Micheal asked in utter disbelief.

“Though it would hurt me a lot to lose them, I don’t think I would be able to look them in the eye if I was only able to save one of them.” She said lowered her head. “Devon treasures his brother so he would want me to save him instead, but Damian also feels the same way. He’s weaker than his brother, so he would feel his brother deserved to live for the good of humanity,, and besides, I doubt he’d be able to live in a world where his brother was no longer around. So, in consideration of these things, I’d rather go after the scum who set it all up.” She raised her head and smiled. “Sounds freaky, right?”

An abstract way of thinking. Michael did not expect that.

Slowly, he began to laugh. He clapped his hands as well and exclaimed,

“Truly extraordinary.” He said. “Your way of thinking does not align with that of a hero, and yet you are a hero for wanting to save the brothers the trouble of heartache. It’s outstanding.”

“Uh, thank you?” She said, unsure if to take that as a compliment

“So, Alice, would you like to walk around for a while before the destination is decided?” He asked her.

“I’ve been doing a lot of walking for a while now, but I guess it’ll be alright.”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry. We won’t be using our feet.” He said and she tilted her eyebrows.

“If not our feet, then what will we use to walk? Our hands?”

Micheal got up and took her hand.

“Come, I’ll show you.”

They got out of the coffee shop. The sun had already begun to set.

“Just behind there.” Micheal pointed at a back alley.

“Ugh, I’m pretty sure this is walking with my feet.” She said with a lazy tone and he chuckled.

“Patience, my dear. Patience.” He said and she decided to follow his directives. They got to the dark alley and then Micheal grabbed her hand. “And now, we set off from the ground.”

“Huh?” All of a sudden, Micheal’s feet lifted from the floor. “If we were going to end up flying, why didn’t you just say so?”

Her feet also lifted up from the floor.

“Haha, then it wouldn’t be fun.” He said, holding her hand tightly and she rolled her eyes.

“You’re just trying to be a romantic maniac, you moron.” She accused but he shrugged.

“Well, who knows?”

They finally reached the skies, facing the direction of the sunset.

“Let’s head there.” She said and he took the lead, still holding her hand as they flew into the sunset.

“Now, who’s trying to be a romantic maniac?”

“Oh, shut it. I just want to see the sunset more clearly. If you don’t want to then you can let go. I’ll fly there on my own,”

Her words made him hold on even tighter.

“Don’t be so harsh now, dear. I only meant that as a joke.” He said and she shook her head.

They flew closer to the sunset but stopped when it looked like they were flying towards the ocean.

“Jeez, I almost forgot that if we continue to chase after the sunset, we’ll never reach it,” Alice said, coming to a halt above the beach.

“Well, I guess this is the closest we can get to it.” Micheal said and glanced down.

He had initiated a camouflage to hide their presence while he held Alice’s hand, one reason why he did not want to let go.

Another reason was that he liked holding her hand. He was scared to let go.

“You look happy.” Alice said to him and he raised his head to see her smiling at him. “Do you like the beach?”

Micheal stayed silent, staring at her beautiful smile under the light of the sunset.

She was like an angel. A beautiful angel that did not belong on the ground.

“I guess it’s true.” Micheal said, tilting his head slightly. “It’s because Alice is right next to me.”

The music playing beneath them was loud enough to send the same vibes the people beneath were dancing to.

It was a somewhat sad song, knowing what the lyrics entailed. If he said he wanted to dance, would she accuse him of trying to be romantic again?

He just wanted to share a lot of firsts with her.

“I know that you’re wrong for me, and I’ll wish we never met on the day I leave.” Alice looked at him weirdly, wondering what he was saying. “I brought you down to your knees, cause they say that misery loves company.”

“What are you even saying?

“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just saying the words of the song that’s playing below.”

“It’s not your fault I ruined everything,” he continued, “…and it’s not your fault I can’t be what you need, baby. Angels like you can’t fly down hell with me.”

He stared at her as she shook her head.

“That’s such a sad lyric.” She said. “You could’ve just sung it instead of just saying it. It makes it even sadder, I guess.”

“I haven’t tried singing before and I don’t want to sound like a screeching tire.” He said and she laughed. That was hilarious.

“And yet you know the lyrics so well.”

“Anyway, you wanna play in the sand. I don’t think I’ve ever been to the beach before.”

Micheal was taken by her invitation and the fact that she had never been to the beach together meant she was having one of her firsts with him.

Wait, he almost forgot he took a valuable first before. He was the first to kiss her.

“Come on,” she pulled him down and he watched her for a moment, finally letting go of her hand.

He thought back to the lyrics. Alice was an angel and he was no different from a devil. He would not want an angel like her to fall into the depths with him.

It was too much.

“Aren’t you coming?” Alice yelled, waving at him and he nodded.

“Yes, I’m coming.” He slowly flew down and then landed on the wet sand.

Funny how that had to be the spot Alice wanted to land on. Well, no matter. He would clean his boots up later before they left.
