Chapter 35- Advice
"What happened Char? You look dazed?" It was not common for Remi Evans to see her daughter in such a listless state.
Charlotte has always been a responsible and focused child who takes her job seriously and was good academically as well. Unfortunately, after her husband ran away a few years ago, Charlotte firmly rejected her mother's suggestion to join the Starfall Academy even though Charlotte was an Awakened.
Being a mother of such a hard-working child, Remi always felt very proud...and a little sad as well, since because of all the responsibility, Charlotte has to bury her childishness and become a grown-up all of a sudden.
However, unlike most days, today Charlotte seemed a little off after she saw that masked man who was currently waiting for the food.
"...don't know why...but his eyes captivated me." Charlotte being Charlotte—she never hides anything from her mother and confesses whatever she feels without hesitation.
Remi stifled a giggle as she replied, "Is it love at first sight, my daughter?"
Suddenly Charlotte flinched before her expression hardened,
"I am not going to fall for someone just at first sight. And certainly not when the person hides his face."
"But isn't it romantic? You feel excited to know him more and finally get to see his face when he begins trusting you?"
"Yes, and it turns out he is a pig-faced."
Remi giggled this time aloud; garnering attention in her direction. Those who came to see the older one felt their heart filling with awe as they raised their glasses at the sight.
Truly fascinating.
"Will that matter, love? Don't you remember that story when an ugly-faced prince saves the princess and yet she accepts him and they happily live together? You used to read that a lot~"
Charlotte scoffed, "My childish and silly self used to like such stupid stories. I am a grown-up now."
Remi didn't say anything about that and continued cooking. Both Remi and Charlotte know that even now, a part of the latter's heart desires such a fairytale happenstance to occur with her.
"Here." Placing the tray of food on the counter, Remi added, "Serve it with a smile~"
Charlotte ignored her mother's grin and took hold of the tray before heading toward the table where the most suspicious man in the eatery sat.
She resisted the urge to look into the parchment he was reading before she placed the tray on the table and said, "I hope you enjoy the meal."
"You are an awakened right?"
"Half a day, please," I told the receptionist while I thought about the plan I would be following after the day falls.
I have seven potions with me along with my weapon and straw dolls. If I exhaust too much energy to teleport the civilians out of the danger zone then I might not be able to fight against the Demon and its minion until the end.
"Two silver coins please."
"Here."
And not to talk about, the demon is a C-rank, no less. From what I know, it would be a terrestrial type Gnome. Thankfully, since this demon is a transformed one, the Gnome wouldn't carry its original intelligence—which would make it easier to bait the demon. About the minions then I don't have much information about them, but since they are working under a demon, they must be around rank E to D.
"Your identity."
"Here you go."
Maybe I need to just destroy the whole town under the Four-Circle spell after evacuating all the citizens? But that would be burdensome and risky. What if I can't get the whole town escape before launching the attack or after exhausting all my energy in that Four-Circle spell, what if the Demon survives?
A lot of variables and a lot to think about.
"Please enjoy your stay."
Nodding to the receptionist, I took the room key and made my way upstairs.
*Click*
Although the room wasn't grand, it was big enough to allow me to stretch a bit before the battle, and a comfortable bed awaited me.
I searched the room for any surveillance using Beta. Thankfully, there was nothing. I detached the mask and threw away my clothes before jumping on the bed.
Haah~heavens.
I will just take a quick nap and when I wake up...it will be hero...time....

A/N:- Hmm~Chunni Kyle? Well, who cares?
Is the POV switch good? I intend to introduce third-person POV only when involving new characters and battle scenes. Comments your thoughts.
