Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 149: Clearing Misunderstanding

Jamina stayed still as he was held by Avion.

"Fuck.."

"Shut up."

Avion felt like scratching his head right then. The night when he told the two everything, Jamina was willing to die for him, but why is she avoiding him now?

No matter how he thinks of the reason, he couldn't reach a conclusion.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Avion sweated, he just finished his training and was actually tired. Although Jamina was light, she was still heavy to his tired arms.

"... nothing..." Jamina's voice squeaked at the end while still not revealing her face to him.

Avion "realized" something from this, "Did something happened to your face that you don't want to show me?!" he worriedly asked.

Hearing this, Jamina twitched before taking off her hands and shouted, "No, idiot!" showing her reddened face, "And release me already!"

Avion releases her once she stood upright.

"So... why are you avoiding me?" he finally scratched his head while he meekly asked.

Jamina crossed her arms under her chest as her eyes looked around. Only after a moment did she answer, "I still don't understand you..."

"Really?" Avion was undoubtedly surprised by her, "But I already told you everything."

"Yes..." Jamina faced the side while glancing at him from time to time. Before she continued, she frantically thought, 'Why! He's so ugly but why am I like this to him!?'

"It's because... erhm... last time... Even though the situation is grave, you are still messing with me..."

"Eh? How?"

"Ah! Do I have to say everything!? Are you a retard!?" Jamina shouted but became embarrassed again a moment later...

"I mean, that time when I... erhm~... clung onto you." her anger dissipated as she grasped her dress and her head dropped down, "I was prepared to die with you but... even with that moment... you are still not calling me by my real name..."

Jamina closed her eyes, wanting to run away out of shyness but she froze when she heard Avion said, "But isn't your full name... Fuck You?"

Jamina looked at him as if she was looking at a retard, "..." she didn't know if she should be hurt, she should be relieved, or she should laugh.

After a moment, she finally decided, "Hehehe... hahaha..." she laughed, "I actually fell for a retard. Hahaha... Seemed like my life will become harder from now on. hayss..." she then sighed as she shook his head.

Meanwhile, question marks appeared on top of Avion's head.

Seeing this, Jamina sighed in relief, she thought she had already confessed, "No, my name is not Fuck You but just, Jamina."

"Jamina? I thought that was your nickname. I knew it, having Fuck You as your name is just too weird."

'He's even proud of it...' Jamina giggled.

But further thinking about it, Avion's train of thought came rushing in. Just like a missing puzzle piece, he finally realized what was happening, "Ah! You mean I've been calling you so rudely this whole time?"

Jamina sweetly nodded.

"Urgh..." Avion sweated as he internally panicked, 'Is she actually right? I'm a retard? But no, I'm not that familiar with this world and it's easy to misunderstand it, in my view... I think... but, even when she was about to die for me, I was still calling her that messed-up name...' he felt guilty.

Looking at Jamina's satisfied eyes as if she knew what was going in Avion's head, it was his turn to become red but from shame instead.

"Umm... I'm sorry." Avion's eyes wandered before determinedly looking at Jamina's eyes.

"Hm?" Jamina was caught unguarded and regained her bashfulness.

"Jamina, I'm sorry for everything but also, thank you for being there for me... and I hope you are still fine with me (as a friend)."

"Fine with you (as a lover)?" Jamina blinked a few times.

Avion nodded.

Jamina began to turn even redder to the point of fuming.

"Is this two a couple?" in her Immaterial Body, Darea commented as she snorted in dissatisfaction. But somehow, she didn't want to intrude and could only bitterly look on the side.

"Eh?? Ehehe... you're so ugly, don't think about it!" Jamina turned around and bashfully reacted.

But Avion frowned at this, "You don't want to stay friends with me since I'm ugly?"

"Well, that misunderstanding didn't last long..." Darea laughed.

"Friend?" Jamina turned her head to look at Avion before sighing again.

"Jamina, you shouldn't judge people by their appearance alone. Just because you're cute doesn't mean you can ignore the ugly ones."

"Ah, he's angry." Darea internally laughed more.

"Eh? Oh, sorry... I just said it without thinking..." Jamina paused before she tilted her head, "And am I really cute?

"Yeah, but I didn't like you because you're cute alone. It's because you're actually kind and caring even though you seemed rude on the outside.." Avion smiled as he tried to make a point, "But since you're sorry then it's good"

Jamina, and even Darea, felt embarrassed hearing what Avion said.

"Is Avion actually a genius?" Darea bitterly thought.

'Isn't that like saying he likes me???' Jamina shook, "Umm... o-o-okay..." she immediately covered her mouth as she couldn't help smiling.

"A-a-actually... since everything is fine now, I have to work! I will become the future Conqueress's personal maidservant! I need to work hard!" Jamina ran off, "If you follow me, I will hate you!"

Avion could only look at her fading back.

"Avion" Darea called.

"Yes?"

"You do know that I am your master and that I still haven't agreed on you becoming someone else. Remember you are mine alone."

"??? Okay...?"

"Not okay? But okay!"

"Okay!"

"He could already get a woman's heart with that appearance." Darea felt conflicted and amazed at the same time, "But he has Identity Change right now. Any other appearance will be better. Don't tell me..." she looked at Avion with shock while she was thinking, "He must've other women before this!" she clicked her tongue.

Right now, she was still on her Immaterial Body so Avion heard it all. He was trying hard not to react.

'Woman's heart? If that is true... then, Jamina? Huh???' Avion froze, unable to believe it so he only thought he must've misunderstood or missed something.
