Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 135: Serious

Darea placed down her meal and went into her phantom form.

"I really can't sense mortals if I don't try."

She was too reliant on her Rank Es Energy Element which was greatly helpful in sensing Elementalists all her life. It was a rare case for her to go down and blend in with the mortals.

Actually, those few times can be counted with the fingers in one hand.

Avion had just heard of this. The last time this happened, he was asleep and only woke up to Darea's thoughts.

He stood up and opened the door to see Jamina who had a darkened face.

She peeked behind Avion and said, "I thought you were full, you're eating your snack so early."

"Ah that, well I just want to taste it again. Even when I'm full, I missing Fuck's cooking." Avion naturally said.

"Oh... is that so." Jamina's eyes wandered in bashfulness for a while before it became resolute, "Do you remember the deal we made last time?"

She asked but actually, she knew that she was just abusing this card. In her view, this had long expired since Avion was always "lying" to her.

"About how I would not lie if you asked a question and that I won't force you to do anything?"

"Eh?" Jamina didn't know how to react. Should she be happy that Avion still remember it clearly? Or should she be angry? Because even though he remembers it, he was still lying from time to time as if it was the truth.

"What about it?" Avion didn't know that Jamina thought he was lying. Meanwhile, inwardly, he was panicking.

'Did she hear my talk with Darea?' he wanted to sweat but he kept reverting his body to compose himself.

Although Avion didn't want to lie due to the deal, he wanted to hide it. Last time, he had already lied which disturbed his composure. But if Jamina were to pressure him, he had no choice.

'What are the chances that telling Jamina the truth becomes disadvantage? How big is that disadvantage?'

'If I tell her, what would she do? I already told her a lot about myself. For the lies I made, I will surely apologize. It concerns my life and death so she should understand right?'

However, guilt was greatly emerging within Avion. Of course, he prioritizes his life but he just don't like breaking a promise.

He has already compromised by a lot.

It is best to recall the time he wanted to keep up with the Bottom-Eaters. Although no promise was made, he didn't revert his body back. He was adamant on it even though he was spilling blood.

However, this time, it was not just one death, it would be an infinite loop. No matter how Avion want to stick with his promise, there is no way he would enter that hell.

'But what is the problem of telling her? The problem is that, I would break my Relle character and go with the mysterious True God again to fit Darea's description.'

'She would surely question it if I already told Fuck the truth and still go with my Relle character. However, just keeping up this perfect character in front of one person is already this difficult, can I keep it with two people?'

'Wait! What if I told Fuck that Darea is actually my guardian angel like what she told me earlier? Guardian angel do exist in this world, after all. Although it is only in legends and Fuck may only be guessing casually, but it still can happen.'

'But the biggest problem is still Darea. Would she take suspicion if I take such a far-fetched alternative instead of doing some miracle to avoid the situation? Ahhhh!! You two are giving me a headache!'

Avion's thoughts were lightning quick, however, he still haven't concluded anything. If only he had time to meditate then he would've thought a lot of things to avoid this situation.

However, it would be too obvious. If he always needs to meditate when something happens, a pattern will reveal itself.

Avion didn't want to underestimate Darea's intellect!

"No, I thought you don't remember it since you have always been lying to me." Jamina sighed in disappointment, "So you don't take the deal seriously."

"But I'm taking it seriously though?" Avion's brow twitched.

'I'm taking it super seriously that I'm having a dilemma here!'

"Really...?" Jamina dazed at Avion, she was in a disbelief. Disbelief that Avion would still say such a thing.

"Really, have I ever lied to you?" Avion said as if he was troubled but guilt finally emerged, 'Sorry, Fuck, this liar will make it up for you in the future, okay?'

Hearing this reply, Jamina massaged her temples, 'Is Relle this kind of an idiot?'

"Okay... what about the time you said you came from the future?" her face darkened as she asked.

Avion livened up, when he heard that, "That's tru-."

"Don't mess with me!"

"I'm serious here!" Jamina shouted, she was actually hurt.

Avion was stunned at this. It was the first time someone close got angry at him.

"I wonder how she will react if she learned that she's shouting at a True God?" Darea chuckled, not sinking in with the heavy atmosphere, "But why is Sir Teller telling her the truth that he came from the future? Is he testing the mortal's understanding and tolerance?"

'Ah... Darea, if only you will not kill me.' Avion inwardly sighed while thinking of a way to make up with Jamina.

"But I am serious too..."

At the next moment, Avion stopped thinking and was in a daze. 

"I thought... you're really taking me seriously here." Jamina lowered her head as she sobbed.

"....." Avion's world began turning around, 'I... I made her cry...'

"It's really easy to make mortals cry. I've never seen tears since I became Rank Ey which was a long time ago." Darea didn't think much of the situation but, on the other hand, Avion felt really, really heavy.

"Forget it..." Jamina turned around "Whether what you really think of me, it's not like I can decline any of your orders." she then walked away.

While Avion didn't know what to do, he heard Darea's thoughts again.

"But I can understand her though. Even I was amazed when I heard Sir Teller came form another time. A mortal like her would never believe such a thing."

Only when he heard this did he realize it, 'I'm so dumb!'

"Wait!"
