Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

Acht then cooked a simple breakfast for three people. He didn't make it an extravagant breakfast because he didn't want to tire himself out before the start of the day.

Today, he was supposed to start planning for his own library. He had always desired to do such a thing and now that he was finally about to do it, he felt thrilled about it.

It was something many would consider simple and even boring for a person like Acht to desire this much. However, as abnormal as his life could be, he was a very simple person when it comes to what he liked and hated.

"Did you two do anything?" He asked as he came back to the living room with three plates.

"No…" Leislet replied as she averted her eyes for a split second.

Acht saw that abnormality and immediately knew she was lying so he just said.

"You suck at lying. Also, my warning is for real. If any one of you does something that annoys me or anyone who lives in the village then I will kick you out."

He said before handing them the plate. His words made them pale considerably but still took the plates and started eating silently.

"Sigh, what a headache." He muttered as he also sat down and started eating.

" So, Scarlett. May I know how you found this place?" He asked.

Scarlett gulped down the food and then said.

"At first, I had to deal with the aftermath of the war in my region so it took me some time to actually look around. But, I was able to find out where this bitc-...Ehem, I mean, where Leislet went and I predicted that it might be the place where you went." She replied.

"I see…You guys sometimes scare me with your actions." He said with a casual tone.

He had already grown familiar with how these women thought and how they could do anything to get what they want.

"Heheheh, I do what I have to do," Scarlett said, chuckling.

As for Leislet, she just ate her food and didn't say anything. However, her eyes were going back and forth between Acht and Scarlett. She was glaring so intensely that she might've poked holes in both of them.

'What kind of mood is this?! Dammit, this sly whore is already trying to snatch him away. Should I assassinate her secretly and then hide it? No, Acht would know right away. Maybe I should make her leave because of a mission or something like that? Fuck, I forgot that I retired so I don't have any control over the hunter association.' Leislet thought to herself.

She couldn't find a way to get rid of Scarlett without making Acht discover her plan. It was also quite risky to do something like that when they were in such a place and could even ruin their lives here.

Seeing how she was lost, her head started hurting from excessive thinking and she had to grit her teeth to calm down.

"Are you ok, Slu-...I mean, Leislet? Should I get you a cup of water?" Scarlett said with a nice smile.

But, Leislet could see a pure evil and mockery behind that smile. However, she can't just start another fight so she smiled back fakely.

"No, not really. I'm fine." She replied.

"You two…Sigh." Acht said before sighing and standing up.

Then, he walked to Leislet and pulled her hand, making her stand up.

'W-W-What?' Both of them thought at the same time with the same shocked looks.

"Since you finished your food. Could you find if the chief has a piece of land where I could build the library?" He asked with a soft tone.

Leislet froze in her place and didn't reply quickly. Her eyes were glued to their hands that were connected now.

"Hmm? Leislet?" He said confusedly.

"Y-Y-Yes!!! I will go now!!" She basically shouted before she barged out of the house like a train.

"Heheh." Acht chuckled before looking back at Scarlett and returning to his calm look.

"Now that we are alone. I have some things I want to talk about with you." He said.

Scarlett gulped before straightening her posture.

"First of all, I would like to apologize for my previous misunderstanding. It was a miscalculation from my side. I hope you can understand that." He said.

"No! You don't have to apologize! It was totally normal to think like that when you are chased by everyone. I am happy that everything is fine now." She said,

"I see. Are you still going to join the academy? I recall you mentioning something like that before."

"Ah, yes. I was planning to do so."

"Good…As you can see, I am trying to lay low for a while. So, the matter of the academy thing isn't going to be something viable to do anytime soon. I may enroll there 5 or so years later. That's the time I am thinking of staying here for." He said.

"Ah, the academy won't start any time soon either. Because of the war, it is basically destroyed so it will take some time to rebuild. 5 years is actually a good time."

Acht nodded his head and stood up.

"Anyway, you can take a room from the ones left. They aren't that big but they are good enough. I will have to leave now for some matters."

"Ok." She replied.

Acht then walked out and went to the village. There, he found Leislet talking with the chief.

She had a big smile on her face and the chief was also smiling widely. Even though he was an old man, Acht could see him peeking at Leislet's figure secretly.

It was something normal considering Leislet's unbelievable sex appeal toward the opposite gender.

But, for some reason, Acht was slightly annoyed seeing something like that. He didn't know why but he still followed his instincts.

"Good morning." He said.

The old man stopped looking at Leislet with his lustful eyes and gazed at Acht with a warm smile.

"Good morning, young man." He said.

"Listen, Ach-...Cero, the chief seems to have a good place to build a small library. I am so happy!" She said jumping up and down.

Her action made her boobs jiggle loudly. Acht immediately checked the old man and expectedly, he was eyeing her secretly.

So, to make him stop, he unleashed a very small amount of his aura at him. The old man felt a chill down his spine and looked around him.

"Why did it suddenly turn cold? The sun is there." He muttered before he immediately excused himself and walked away.

"Fuuh." Acht exhaled slightly and looked at Leislet with a smile.

She was still jumping up and down in celebration and didn't see this small interaction between Acht and the old man.
