My Gene System - Chapter 126

Alas, the invasion between Arzotoc village and the Rattin Kingdom come to an end. Thanks to Riku’s invention, they were lessening the casualties that might happen within the villagers, guards, or even the Captains.

Of course, everyone was celebrating and cheering the man who had great help in this war. Also, they didn’t themselves clean all the corpses outside the village as the aggressive monsters there would surely eat all of them.

_

Riku was standing in front of the wooden door, he had lifeless as he was really exhausted and didn’t sleep for the past two days. Next to him was Arisu that even she can’t take a look at him after he kissed her cheek.

“Is this the place where is Emma right now?” He asked her in a weak tone, hoping Emma would recover from those injuries she received.

She narrowly nodded her head, then pointed her finger at the door. “Yes, she’s inside.” Arisu responded in a shy tone.

Without making any second thought, he pushed the door with his left hand. The door groaned mildly as it was giving way to the two people standing outside.

Inside, the first thing he noticed was the woman lying on the smooth white bed and wrapped bandages in her entire body. Seeing her like this, Riku can’t help to feel some pinch in his heart which made him feel miserable.

The two women healing mage bowed their heads at them, to show their respect to them. At the same time, they’re aware that the war has already ended as they heard the cheering guards outside.

GREETINGS TO YOU SIR RIKU AND LADY ARISU!

They said at once. Eventually, one of the two lifted her head after hearing a question from Riku.

“Hey, tell me, Emma’s having a good condition, isn’t it?” He wanted to believe there was nothing bad happened to Emma.

A woman had blue hair, green eyes, and wearing a white skirt and village robe took time to answer. As it was the first time she can see the face of the man who was hiding behind the mask. Yes, she found him way attractive as she even realized that she was already dumbfounded at him for a couple of seconds.

Arisu suddenly waved her hand at her, at the same time, she had an idea what those eyes meant. “He’s asking you. What’s the reason you are just standing there and staring to?”

Village’s healing mage narrowly flinched as Arisu awakened her senses. “Oh? Sorry about that, lady Arisu and sir Riku.” She apologized and gave her a few nods before she continued. “Don’t worry to adventurer Emma, her condition is way better. All the deep wounds she received have already closed because of the magical bandages we are using on her. Also, adventurer Emma is a type of creature who had a fast recovery, I’m sure she’ll awaken her senses in no time.”

Hearing this information, it seemed the elephant was sitting on his chest suddenly disappeared. He sighed with relief, “Thanks, God! I have nothing to worry about…” His legs were weakened and felt the extreme exhaustion in his entire body.

Well, Riku was well informed about how fast the healing ability of Emma since he witnessed it several times.

To begin with, his body was suddenly shivering could not stop it no matter how much he tried. Also, he felt his eyes were burning so he closed them as his tears were dripping on his cheeks.

Bam!

As soon as he was going to fall, Arisu caught him with shoulders. Yes, she wasn’t shocked by the occurrence that happened to Riku. Why? Because she knew Riku forced his body to cast all the transformation skills at once. On top of that, he wasn’t sleeping for consecutive two days so burning eyes were just ordinary.

She was quite right with the terms Riku forced to utilize all the transformation skills at once. However, it wasn’t the right explanation for why he was experiencing this. The truth was, his body was still not a good vessel for those monsters’ genes, so the pain he was going through was the consequence of forcing his body. Yes! It was natural for the skill to fireback as it was already explained after he has arrived in this world. On top of that, even though he had enough mana pool to cast all these skills, he should basis to his body if it can take over the gene and the changes that possibly occur.

He felt his flesh was boiling in his entire body, also, he can’t stop his body from falling to the ground. “Fuck! This is painful!” He must endure it or something bad would certainly happen to him.

“Don’t fall, Riku, you can rest now.” She said in a polite tone, noticing this man was knitting his face for some reason. “There’s any available room here?” She asked the two women.

Of course, there was available room as it was the place where the villagers were sent once they were injured from the war. To be exact, no one of the villagers or guards got hurt, which means there was plenty of room available as of now.

They nodded their heads at her, saying that there was an available room next to the current room. After they noticed Riku was near to passing out, they went closer to them, trying to help her carry him to the room.

“Let us help you, lady Arisu.”

They suggested politely and Arisu agreed with them as she never expect this man can become this heavy. She was feeling the ground was pulling her.

In just a blink of an eye, they reached the room and positioned Riku on the white smooth bed. After that, she ordered the women to get back in Emma’s room as they must be needed there.

“You can go back there, leave me this man.”

The two leave the door politely as the wooden door closed. At this point, she saw Riku was nearly closing his eyes so she advised him with these words.

“Why are you doing, Riku? Don’t fight with your sleep, just close your eyes and I promise I’ll handle Emma so you have nothing to worry about.”

She pushed herself into a stand-up position, planning to check again Emma’s condition and to see the exact scene going on in the village.

Riku didn’t intend to reply and kind of words to her as he just glance at her win his lifeless eyes. Suddenly, he tugged her arm closer to him and let her fall on his chest.

Yes, Riku was tightly hugging this woman over his chest. “I said you are going to sleep with me, isn’t it? So where do you are going right now?” He asked her in a weak tone and Arisu could feel his heated breath touching her neck.

She was blinking her eyes in confusion, wondering why this man suddenly acting like this? Yet, she can’t take away that she was like this feeling.

“W-Wait, Riku? Why are you hugging me?” She stuttered and the aggressiveness she showed when the first time they slept together disappeared.

“You have agreed to sleep with me, right? So stayed here until I woke up again. I’ll be mad at you when you are not here.” He said to her in a sweet tone, then pushed Arisu upward so they can meet their faces. At the same time, he felt that her chest was squeezing on him.

Her face suddenly blushed and for some reason, she was slowly spreading her arms and hugged him. ‘Why? Why? Why I’m doing this? But I loved this feeling.” She uttered to her mind, then squeezed her face inside Riku’s neck.

Even though she wasn’t felt sleepy at all, she closed her eyes to make up the promise that she will stay here in this room until he woke up.

Mwah!

And all of a sudden, she stuck in her position when she received a direct on his forehead along with the sweet message. “I’m going to sleep, goodnight.”

“Y-Yeah! You should sleep and regains all the mana and strength that you have lost in this fight. And yes! I’m going to rest the time that you have slept here.”

Three days had easily passed, the Arzotoc village came back again to the peaceful place. Where everyone had a broad smile on their faces and could enjoy the rest of their lives.

Moreover, Emma was recovered from the severe injuries she received from Vole. “I’m sorry, Riku! Because I lowered my guards I became a burden in the war.”

He shook his head and hands in unison along with an uncomfortable expression on his face. “You don’t feel to be sorry, that’s my fault, okay? The more important here is that you have a good condition.” He said politely before adding these words. “When you have fully recovered, are you still want to come with me? Despite the actions, I committed back then!”

“Of course! I’ll come whenever you go!” She cheerfully replied.

“Eh? How about me?! Riku already loved me! I’ll come with you!”
