Chapter 458 - Keely The Friendless
As Angor looked at the woman mixed with two opposite personalities up and down, Keely also gave Angor an irritated glare.
Did she just hiss at me? Angor thought.
Kanter noticed Keely’s reaction and sighed. “Forgive her. She’s been through some unpleasant events during her childhood—”
“Professor!” Keely interrupted the old man, clearly discontent.
“Okay okay, I’ll not say it. Just so you know, you have to deal with the problems sooner or later.”
Even though Kanter was her teacher, Angor was surprised to see Keely bold enough to yell at a renowned wizard like this.
More surprisingly, Kanter actually gave up!
Wait. Angor felt at a loss again. Shouldn’t it be “look after each other”?
Kanter was pleased with Keely’s answer. She always kept her promise once she said something. Kanter hoped that Angor would slowly become fond of Keely after the teamwork.
Sunders didn’t forget to tease his student. “Well, I’ll be happy to see you come back alive under someone’s protection.”
Angor only gave his dear professor a meaningful glance.
“That’s settled then. It’s getting late; we’ll not occupy more of your time,” said Kanter after he received several more glares from Keely who wanted to leave badly. “We’re staying at Lilith’s place for now. Feel free to drop by,” Kanter said to Angor.
Angor nodded again; he then watched the strange pair flying away in the rain.
Again, Keely’s bright dance shoes and her kitten created a romantic scene under the gloomy sky.
Beautiful, yet distant.
…
It was just past midnight. Apart from the patrolling Rune Monitors, the entire Floating Mech City had gone quiet.
A bright fire beam suddenly swept past the starry sky and landed inside a garden in the suburban area.
Sunders was preparing plans for examining Angor’s Nightmare Domain and soul condition later. Also, he wanted to look into the secret art Angor learned from Isabelle.
He suddenly looked up at the window in his room.
…
Angor was now having a pleasant rest on his bed. When inside Bogula’s base, he was always too stressed to sleep. Now that he no longer had to worry about his safety, he decided to relax as much as he could.
Before going to sleep, however, he was going to check the two boxes he obtained from Kanter.
