Chapter 62

After an hour, the three boys returned to the inn. They played hand games and other games for three hours straight until Nash felt excruciating pain in her wound.

'If I want to make it heal fast, I shouldn't walk around... but I can't do that. I will stay home after tomorrow since leader and the others will be home all day by then.'

"I'm sleepy," Puru said.

They're all lying on the floor, using each other as pillows.

"Let's sleep then," Nash whispered.

After a few minutes, they all fell asleep, not noticing the time.

...

The night comes and Nash and the brats are still asleep. Squad 15 are walking towards their inn already after leaving the training grounds early.

Aeries was the first to open the door, discovering Nash and the brats asleep on the floor.

"HAHAHA you're an i—"

"Shh!" Idris was hushed by Aeries. Idris peered through the door and noticed Nash with the brats.

Idris walked closely to them and suddenly, as if a lightning passed by, a dagger was pointed at his face.

"Woah!" Idris stepped back immediately.

Nash opened her eyes and found Idris standing there. "Ohh! Sorry! I mistook it for an intruder!"

Nash put down her dagger and carefully moved.

The brats gradually woken up by the noise one by one. Nash sat on the couch as she yawned.

"Ah... it's night already. We should go home now," Shiela said, rubbing her eyes as she yawn.

They all stood up and headed to the entrance, but came to a halt when they saw the gray-haired man.

Shiela and Trish told the 3 boys the talk the girls had in the bath, about Nash's love interest.

The brats encircled Jaxael and examined every inch of his body. When Shiela was in front of him, she punched Jaxael in the stomach and got hurt.

She shake her hands as she look at him with sparkly eyes, "It's hard!"

"Really? Let me," Bret punched Jaxael's tummy. "It is."

One by one the kids punched Jaxael, leaving him confused, but still let the kids punch his stomach.

"Brother, may I see your tummy?" Shiela asked, her eyes are still sparkling.

"Shiela!" Bret smacked her head. Shiela looked at him in shock and tears started to form in her eyes. Shiela became enraged, yanked on Bret's hair, and began to fight.

Squad 15 is just looking at them, and don't know what to do.

"What the hell are you doing? Stop them!" Nash exclaimed Shiela was carried away by Jaxael, and Bret was carried away by Kane. They both looked haggard.

"I just want to see his hard tummy!"

"It's rude!"

Shiela looked at Jaxael, "it is?"

"Uh..." Jaxael looked at Nash who was nodding. "Yes, it is?"

Nash's face palmed, 'what an idiot.'

The two put down the kids, "I see, sorry"

"It's fine." Jaxael patted her head.

Shiela said sorry to Bret and Bret did the same. They returned home after being picked up by their mothers.

"What's this?" Yjhan points at the metal door near the door.

Nash bit her lower lips, 'Shit'. She grinned and laughed it off.

"Don't laugh, what is this?"

"It's a small metal door,"

"I know, where did you get it? Didn't we tell you to stay at home? Are you collecting junk now?"

"It's not junk! I need that!"

"For?"

"Secret," Nash said as she averted her look.

"Tell me, where did you go?"

"I just walked near here,"

'Kidding, I just walk all through the town.'

"Really?" Yjhan looked at Nash suspiciously.

Nash sucked her lower lips and nodded. Yjhan squinted his eyes as he looked at the lady.

"Okay,"

Nash sighed in relief.

"Have you eaten?" Aeries sat beside her and patted her head.

Nash smiled and shook her head, "Have you?"

"Not yet."

"I'll cook." Kane volunteered and went directly to the kitchen, not waiting for the others to say anything.

...

Nash went outside with the brats again the next day, hoping to find one more bunker. If they can't find any, Nash will make her own.

'2 bunkers is not enough for the townspeople.'

They hadn't discovered a single one by the end of the morning. The day concludes in the same manner as yesterday.

Midnight had come and Nash was still awake. She peered outside her room to see if everything's quiet before approaching the window.

She flew out of her room and into Aidan's room. Aidan's eyes slowly opened and she almost shouted when she saw Nash flying over him; fortunately, Nash covered his lips before he screamed.

"Shh... come with me," Nash said as he opened the window and took Aidan's hand

"No... Wait," Without hesitation, Nash flew out the window covering Aidan's mouth. As soon as they landed Nash removed her hand and let Aidan down the ground, breathing deeply, "Phew... at least notify me!"

"Get that," Nash said, pointing to the metal door that was waiting outside. In the morning, she had already prepared everything. Aidan carried it and followed after Nash.

"Can I fly to?"

"Who knows, try jumping off the cliff and see if you can fly," Nash answered flatly.

"Won't you forgive me?" Aidan asked, frowning.

"What are you talking about? I already did/"

"Really?!" Aidan beamed.

"Yes, but that doesn't imply I've forgotten about it. For the sake of our friendship, I simply forgave you."

Aidan's smile turned upside down. Nash sighed as she looked at him.

"I'll do my best to treat you the same way I did before... I'll try."

Aidan gave a slight smile and nodded.

"We've arrived." They are located near the entrance of Greytown, where there are a few stalls and houses. "Take a step back."

Nash held the ground and formed a not-so-deep hole first, into which the metal door could fit. The ground she broke is compressed into a small ball of ground with the use of her gravitational ability. Aidan was just looking at what Nash is doing.

'What is she doing?'

Nash breathes deeply and uses her full gravitational power for faster work. Just like what she did first, she made a hole underground and compressed it into one medium ball of ground.

She looked at Aidan, "Wait here"

Nash walked inside and continued to break the dirt to create a large space large enough to hold hundreds of people. She ensured that the ceiling was thick enough to sustain it and built a few support columns to assure its strength.

Nash made one last look and made a stairs made of ground as well before flying up, "Give me the door."

Aidan handed her the metal door, and she watched Nash force it to attach to the ground and open it repeatedly. Nash smile in approval before flying towards Aidan, "Let's go"

Nash flies as she feels the cold breeze of the night as well as Aidan brisk walking to catch up with Nash. Nash sighed and grabbed Aidan and flew together high.

"Too high..." Aidan whispered.

"Are you afraid of heights?"

"Are you going to make fun of me?"

Nash gave him an odd look "Are you a moron? Why would I do that? I'm not that naive."

"Then what are you scared of?"

"I don't want to tell. Who knows you'll get revenge on me using my weakness."

"I won't. I'm not that naïve," He said, mocking Nash.

"I despise... creepy flying insects and scarecrows."

"Scarecrows?"

"Yes, you know the dolls that farmers used to scare away the crows that ate their crops?"

"Ah, that's what it's called," He nodded as he gained new information.

Nash returns Aidan to his room and uses the window to fly back to hers. Nash laid down in her bed and fell asleep, finally feeling the satisfaction she has been longing for.
