Chapter 177 The Beach episode! Part-3.

Grand Market, Main area.

A group of four girls could be seen walking towards the beach, they all were wearing the uniform of the great Freya academy and people gave way to them as they passed by them.

"By the way, how did the two of you meet actually? I think you two have been together from the start..." (Riya)

While nibbling on those tasty-looking donuts that Riya bought after leaving the clothing store, she asked Lia a question that had been bugging her for a long time:

Hearing Riya's question, Lia smiled and replied.

"Hmm, if it's the first meeting then I would say, I first met him during that first practical combat test the academy had conducted..." (Lia)

A slight blush appeared on Lia's face as she explained:

"I was about to get injured by the boss monster of that dungeon... he suddenly appeared out of nowhere and split the monster into several pieces..." (Lia)

Thinking about that, a pout appeared on her face:

"That idiot! Hmph! He didn't even bother taking me to the infirmary and left after killing that monster... and when I asked him about it later, you know what he said?" (Lia)

Riya stuffed her mouth with donuts and listened to Lia's story with great interest. Even Ellie and Riko were listening to this conversation silently from behind.

"What did he say?" (Riya)

"hmph! That idiot! He said if you want to repay my kindness, then pay me money for saving your life!" (Lia)

"What!? How rude! Is that how you should be talking to your future girlfriend!?" (Riya)

Hearing the two of them ignore the fact that 'Rio didn't even know her at the time', Ellie who was the most knowledgeable in the group shook her head in helplessness.

'When it comes to these types of things, I feel like Riya and Lia both forget about logic....' (Ellie)

"Indeed! I was so angry after that! I went ahead and ran a full background check on him, then I personally investigated him for several days, you know!" (Lia)

'That's not investigation! You were stalking him!' (Ellie)

"I investigated the situation for at least a month I think and then we went to Roult islands, I was fighting with a monster and he meddled with my fight you know!" (Lia)

"How rude!" (Riya)

'They both already threw their logic down the drain!' (Ellie)

"But well, he at least carried me back to the ship on his back so I would not complain about it..." (Lia) (She omitted the part where Rio teased her for her boldness after getting drunk...)

While Lia continued to explain, Riya nodded her head continuously like she was Lia's lackey and was totally in agreement with Lia's exaggerated bluffs.

"Well, after that I continued to investigate him for a while..." (Lia)

'How long were you stalking him, girl!?" (Ellie) (Ellie doesn't know that Lia still does that stalking every once in a while...)

"Eventually, I never noticed when I ended up having feelings for him while doing all those investigations...." (Lia)

...

(Let me cook, guys...)

If any of you think that at the start of the story, Lia and Rio became a couple extremely fast then you are gravely mistaken.

Rio confessed to Lia at the New Year event, which means Lia had been stalking Rio for about six months by that time, she already had a ton of secret photos in her cabinet that she collected.

Even her personal maid is oblivious to how big Lia's 'collection' has become by now.

Simply speaking, Lia had already become a lot interested in Rio by that time.

Rio who had never felt the emotion of 'Like' in his past life became interested in Lia when she took care of him after he had fainted due to that mental battle with the named monster. (That octopus who was stalking Rio...)

"But, a friendly advice from me Senpai, 'it's never good to focus on revenge too much', I know those eyes as I have experienced it myself... make sure you don't end up burning yourself out in those flames of revenge..." (Lia)

Lia seemed to have seen right through Riko's heart in just a matter of seconds.

'I know those eyes all too well, she's heading the same way that I was going...' (Lia)

Riko shook her head at Lia's advice.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the result is good, I don't care about the process..." (Riko)

'Sigh~ I know she won't listen, just like I never did...' (Lia)

Lia shook her head in helplessness and stopped thinking about this matter.

After a few seconds of awkward silence, the four of them continued to head towards the beach slowly.

...

At the same time.

A faraway café.

*drip**drip*

Tears dripped from the eyes of a young boy who had been smiling for a while now.

"Huh, wha-what happened Senpai!? Are you okay!?" (Link)

"Are you feeling unwell Senpai!?" (Liam)

All three of them panicked when they saw Zach crying all of a sudden.

Just a few seconds ago, all four of them were having a leisurely chat, when Zach suddenly went silent and after a few seconds tears fell from his eyes.

Ignoring the other three's look of concern, Zach hurriedly wiped his tears and put up his usual smile again on his face.

"Eh, no, it's nothing, something went in my eyes, that's all... haha let's order something else to eat, it's my treat guys!" (Zach)

All three of them looked at Zach with confused eyes. They all seemed to be bewildered by his sudden mood swings, and all of them had the same question in their mind.

'What just happened!?'
