Death… And Me

Chapter 648 - Give Up This Idea

Rean quickly entered Roan's room just to see him eating something on the table. Agis and Frandin appeared right behind Rean soon after and didn't find anything strange with that. Then again, Roan would usually at least glance at them when they arrived, but this time, he didn't do even that.

Agis and Frandin stood by the corner while Rean sat across the table with him.

"Hey, Roan."

With that, Roan looked at Rean and asked.

"What?"

In response, Rean looked at him with a shocked expression and said.

"What do you mean by what? I can't believe you assaulted Calina. Man, you've been hiding your true feelings real well until now. I definitely didn't know how much you've been holding yourself back, but man. That was definitely an eye-opener right there."

Agis and Frandin were taken aback by Rean's words. Assaulted Calina? How come they didn't hear about it? However, they immediately understood what Rean was trying to do. He didn't know what happened, so he went straight with the best option available, pretending that Calina told him about it. If he was wrong, Roan would just brush him off. But what if he was right?

Surprisingly, Roan's expression instantly turned into dismay as he shouted in response.

"She told you?!"

With those words, Rean's shock had turned into reality. Frandin and Agis were no different. Roan was a master at seeing through lies. He would never mess up at all. However, he totally fell for Rean's bullshit right now. That only showed that something really happened between the two of them!

"What?! I was just joking. Wait a minute...if you said that...co-could it be that you actually had sex with her?!"

Roan's expression instantly went dark. Sure enough, he realized that he had slipped up.

"Fuck off! I don't want to talk about it!"

*Bang!*

Rean then slammed the table as he demanded to know the truth.

"Like hell will I let this chance slip. Quick, tell me what happened? If you don't, then I'll just ask Qia later. You should know very well that Calina won't be able to hide anything from her and Malaka."

Dark Element began to spread around Roan soon after, showing that he was getting really pissed off by Rean's insistence. However, Rean's Light Element had also spread out, completely countering Roan's Dark Element.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm afraid of you? I might not be your match in a one-on-one fight, but you definitely don't to attract the Zasfins' attention outside the workshop, now do you?"

Agis couldn't help but say something before it escalated.

"Hey, Roan. Is there any point in hiding it anymore? Come on, we're not blind. As much as you adamantly refuse the fact, it's obvious to everyone that you really like the girl."

Frandin also added.

"I haven't known you for as long as everyone else. But I do know that you've always made the most logical decisions. You're someone that definitely doesn't like to waste time. However, you're acting the exact opposite of that at the moment. As far as I know, you're a lot more direct with everything you do. I don't see that right now."

Roan was taken aback by Frandin's words. Following that, his Dark Element receded as he muttered.

"Sigh...you're right. To think that someone like Frandin would tell me that."

Frandin's mouth twitched in response. What did he mean by 'someone like him?' At least he wasn't as clueless about his own feelings, unlike Roan.

Suddenly, Sister Orb's voice echoed in the room as she said.

[Well, you deciding to talk is definitely a good decision. Otherwise, I would do it myself. Hahaha! Oh my god! That was hot!]

After hearing that, the curiosity of Rean and the others immediately shot through the roof!

As for Roan, he really wished he had the strength to shatter the Orb at the moment.

Going back in time, Calina had put on her new clothes and prepared herself with Malaka and Qia's help. Following that, she went to see Roan so that she could ask his own opinion about that. She wasn't expecting anything at all. After all, who didn't know Roan's personality? He never showed any interest in someone's appearance before, and it probably would be the same even now. Nonetheless, it was still worth a try. At most, she would get no response, keeping up the status quo.

"Hey, Roan. You there?"

Roan's voice quickly came from inside as he replied.

"Enter."

Calina then entered his room as Qia and Malaka silently cheered her from behind before she closed the door. Of course, Malaka and Qia weren't expecting any progress either.

Inside the room, Roan was sitting above a Spiritual Energy Gathering Formation that Rean had prepared beforehand.

"What is it?"

Calina then made a pose and asked him with a smile.

"Look! What do you think of my attire?"

Roan pondered for a bit before nodding.

"Seems fitting. You followed my instructions and bought something that allows you to move easily in case you need to fight. It's always good to be ready for anything."

Calina felt like crying after hearing that. That wasn't what she wanted to hear at all!

"What I'm asking is if you find my current appearance cute or beautiful. Do these clothes and makeup look nice on me? Would you like to see more?"

Roan narrowed his eyes as he asked.

"Is there any strategic use for that?"

It was then that he realized.

"Now that I think about it, I've seen many women using their bodies to get what they wanted."

Obviously, there was no lack of deaths whose cause in his past life was where beautiful women were using their looks to reach their objective. Be it accidental or not, he had seen them all.

"I see...that's what you were planning. I'm not good at judging looks, though. However, I wouldn't use the sensual approach on this planet since it would be too dangerous due to your status as a human and a blond-haired woman."

Calina was speechless. Roan thought that she wanted to deceive other men instead of trying to look cute for HIM! With that, she lost her patience and said.

"Yeah! That's right! I want to use my body to get the things I want. Who knows, my blond hair might be more useful than you'd think. Anyway, I just came here to report that. Once Frandin's back, I'm going out with him and try my looks on a few weaker Zasfins. Who cares if they vent their urges on me? As long as I obtain what I want, then that's fine. After all, our bodies are nothing more than a pile of meat, right? As long as I'm careful, I'll be alright."

Calina then turned around to leave the room. Of course, she only said that out of anger. There's no way she would do that...it's just that Roan didn't know at the time.

Hearing that, Roan suddenly felt a huge unwillingness. What she said was more or less the same as his words. There was no difference whatsoever. However, how come his entire being was screaming to stop her? In his mind, he had to stop it no matter what. He couldn't let it happen. Surprisingly, before he could even finish processing those thoughts...his body moved by itself.

*Grab*

Roan immediately pulled her arm, bringing her back to him. Nevertheless, Calina was already tired of the same half-assed action. She had seen Roan act like he cared back then but then say that she was imagining things a few times previously. She was sure that he would do the same thing again.

"What? Do you want som-"

However, before she could finish her words, Roan pressed her against the wall behind her and kissed the girl. Calina's eyes then widened in disbelief, not that she disliked it, though.
