The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 95

Chapter 95: I know it wouldn’t slip your senses Chapter 95: I know it wouldn’t slip your senses “I may be the guild master of one of the top five guilds in the country but I do not have everything.

I am not a God, so I am limited.

In that sense,” he raised his head and looked her in the eyes.

“I can only give you what I have, not whatever you want.

I’m sorry.” Alice’s eyes held a glint, staring at his conviction.

He was so…

Pure.

He was so good.

How was he so down to Earth and at the same time, out of this world?

*Wow, now that’s a gentleman filled with integrity.* Leo said and she finally blinked.

She shut her eyes.

He was a good person, even Leo knew it.

His heart was set on the right path.

Yet, for some reason, she did not feel comfortable about him.

She didn’t know how to explain it.

She was happy that he was nice to her.

He was handsome, caring, and all of that, but maybe because she was the opposite, she didn’t feel they could mix.

Or maybe it was something else.

A foreboding warning her about something that was coming?

Was that it?

Screw this, she just couldn’t get it right.

Maybe it was just that she knew she was not a good person so receiving care from an actual good person bothered her.

She brushed her hair with her fingers, a bad habit to be done on a dining table, but since there was no food left, she did not mind.

She rested back on her chair and said casually, while avoiding eye contact, of course.

“Then I guess it can’t be helped.” She said, pouting her lips and Devon thought he had blown his chances.

He wouldn’t give up though.

He would keep trying to convince her, but if she was not satisfied with his terms and would rather go to a guild that would make empty promises to her, then there was nothing he could do.

“So, when do I start?” She suddenly asked, shocking him as he raised his head to show his stunned expression.

“I’ll also need to get an awakeneds ID, right?

I’ve not had that yet, so…” “You’re going to join his guild?” Mark asked and Alice nodded.

“Yeah, it seems like the right thing to do right now.” She said.

“I believe he’s the only one who’ll tell me the truth like this.

He’s so sincere, so do I have a reason not to?” She asked but Mark could not give a reason.

“Besides, Leo wants me to join his guild too.” “Leo?” They both asked, in a chorus and she nodded but then realized she hadn’t said anything about him.

“Oh, sorry.

Leo is…

The voice in my head.” She said, rather awkwardly but it had to be done somehow.

“Anyway, moving on…” She sat up and gazed at Devon.

“I won’t ask for anything from your guild.

That is…

I won’t ask for what you can’t give me.

As long as you don’t start making unnecessary demands and expect too much from me then I will gladly be a member of your guild.” This delighted Devon and he smiled, “Thank you.

I won’t let you down.” He said, and Alice looked away, trying to shield herself from his charms.

“Hah, now that that’s settled.” She rested her back once more and raised her hand to snap her fingers.

“Would you mind chasing off the bugs that have been on our tail, my dear guild master?” Devon bowed his head, looking a bit pleased that she was already referring to him as such.

“I know it wouldn’t slip your senses.” Devon said.

“But you don’t have to worry.

They are my people.” “Oh?

You had your people follow us?” Alice asked but he quickly shook his head to disperse any form of misunderstanding.

“No.” He said.

“And although I did not authorize it, they made sure to let me know that they were ‘around’ because they were curious about you.” “Curious about me?” She raised an eyebrow.

“Why?

It’s not like they know anything about me.

I mean, the agency hasn’t even released anything about me yet, am I right?” “Alice, news like yours can’t stay hidden just because the agency chose to withhold it.” Mark said.

“Word’s already spreading about you.” “Whoa,” Alice’s eyes sparkled.

“Am I that famous already?” “Does getting famous excite you?” Devon asked her but she suddenly went silent.

She looked like she was lost in thoughts again.

Or was she just having a conversation with Leo?

*Alice, something’s coming.* Leo said to her.

‘What is it?’ She asked, noticing the urgency in his voice.

*I think a gate is about to spawn here.

In this very place.* He said and she frowned.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” She rolled her eyes annoyed.

“What’s the matter, Miss Alice?” Devon asked and she turned to him, pursing her lips.

Ah, she wasn’t an official awakened yet so she didn’t need to fight, right?

Besides, she was sure there were just enough people who followed Devon here just because they were curious about her.

They would be able to handle the gate, wouldn’t they?

‘I probably shouldn’t make it known that I can tell when a gate’s about to spawn.’ She thought and thought of an idea.

“Devon, can they come out?” “Who?” “Your guild members.

They can come out if they want to meet me.

I mean, I already know they’re around so there’s no need to hide.

And they’ll also be my guild mates soon, so this can be a nice little introduction.

What do you think?” She smiled.

Mark observed her carefully, squinting his eyes.

Alice was hiding something, he could tell.

What was she planning this time?

*Alice, shouldn’t you think of how to take care of things swiftly instead of dragging others to clean up the mess?* Leo asked and she responded sarcastically, ‘Oh, I’m just learning from the best.

You know, like you dragged me to clean up your mess.’ She closed her eyes.

She wasn’t in the mood to fight monsters.

She wanted to rest, have some quality peace of mind if possible, and leave the hard work to others.

Besides, this world’s heroes weren’t that weak so they could definitely handle a single gate.

Unless it was a red gate then they would be just fine.

So she thought until Leo said, *What would you do if you underestimated the gate and ended up leaving them to face a red gate?* Alice furrowed her eyebrows in a dissatisfied frown.

‘Just tell me already.

Is it a red gate or not?’ CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Don’t you think it’s so nice hkw they allow her to talk freely to the voice in her head and not interrupt?
