Volume 7 Chapter 32: I’m Getting Close

"Hah!" Carolyn roared as she fired her magic again at the target! Each and every single time she used that magic, her firepower increased! Like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.

What Senior Alger said is correct. That only caused the girl to sigh. Senior Alger really knows a lot about this. Compared to her, she knew nothing about her abilities. She remembered what Alger had told her. 

It was fate that we were brought together. 

She thought it was ridiculous at first. But not so much now when the prince knew so much. As she mulled over her abilities, a shadow crept behind her. 

"Why are you laying your head down like that? You're going to get it dirty." Keith was looking down. 

Carolyn's eyes widened as she quickly got up, "How did you get in here?!" Keith didn't have permission to enter and leave this island. 

"Tristan, let me in." Keith grinned. He just needed to ask him. Quick and straightforward, the guy was allowed access.

"I see." Carolyn looked at him strangely. 

"What? Am I not welcomed?" Keith tilted his head. 

"Of course, you're not. It's just- what's that smell?!" Carolyn started to sniff like a dog. That was when Keith placed something before her, "And I even bought you some food. But I can go if you don't want me to be here." His body was directed to the door, ready to leave. But Carolyn grabbed his leg,

"What are you saying? You can stay!" Her lips arched upwards as she stared at the box. There was no way she was going to say no to free food. 

"Here, I made some of your favorites." Keith opened the lunchbox up for her. That was when she didn't hesitate to grab the fork and knife. It was time to eat her fill. 

"I can't get enough of this!" She was missing this! As Keith watched her eat, he brought a bottle, "Chew. Seriously, you'll choke if you continue to eat like that." 

"Mngh!" Carolyn's eyes widened as she patted her chest, trying her best to push that food down! That was when a cup of tea was beside her.

"Thank goodness. I thought I was going to die." 

"Seriously, you need to be more careful."

"I know. But it's easier with you here." Carolyn laughed, "So, how have you been?"

"Good. But I should be asking you this. I heard you were going out to hunt monsters." 

"Tristan needs to stop telling you these things." Carolyn pouted. She knew who blabbed about her training. But that didn't stop her from eating. After she had finished her meal, "I feel so stuffed."

"I added a lot of meat into it." This girl was quite the meat lover. 

"Hey."

"Hmm?"

"I heard that you had an argument with Senior Alger."

"You heard about that?" 

"Mmhmm. Why did you do that?" Carolyn was confused. It was more confusing for Keith being the one to start it. 

"...He's strange."

"How is he strange?" Carolyn tilted her head. The boy explained, "It's just a feeling I got from him."

"Then you shouldn't have done that. How could you do that based on your feelings?"

"I do that most of the time." Keith scoffed, "And I take it that you also know him?" From how she spoke, it seemed so. 

"Senior Alger is my teacher."

"Huh? You have a guy like that as your teacher?!" Keith blinked, "You should choose someone else!"

Carolyn frowned, "I can handle myself. Senior Alger is someone I can trust." Alger had been helping her all the time. That was how she got this strong. 

"Are you sure? You've always been a weird child."

"Do you think I can't handle myself?"

"That's not what I'm saying."

"You're implying it."

"…" Keith and Carolyn stared at one another. Neither one of them was going to back down from this. But when she turned her head away, she felt a slight tingle from her back. That was when she noticed the words.

My bad. I really didn't mean it like that. 

Carolyn turned, "Did you have to do something like that? We're not kids anymore." This was a little thing they did when they were kid. Whenever Carolyn pouted, Keith would write on her back to apologize. She would do the same as well. Well, she started this whole thing. 

"But that helped me." Keith chuckled, adding, "I didn't mean it like that. But I think you should be wary of him." 

"I know you worried, but you shouldn't. You only met the guy once. Give him a chance." 

"No way." Keith shook his head, "Also, you need to remember to pace yourself."

"Understood." 

Keith patted the girl on the head as he got up, "Be safe."

"You too." Keith headed over to the gate. What he didn't know was Carolyn staring at his back.

I'm getting close.
